Mark Found and British trains video

This is quite an interesting video…give yourself plenty of time it is an hour and forty minutes. Some modern high speed, some narrow gauge steam, deisels, trams and more. Enjoy!

I have the complete series of four video programmes made by Mark Found on building a garden railway. Set in the early '90s, it’s an interesting look on how things were done here in UK without all the handy helpful tools and stuff that make life so much easier in the US and CN. Our good friend Korm would really be at home, watching some of the short cuts and make-do’s that are typical of achieving great things on a minimal budget and no special tools. For instance, there is no mini-digger or backhoe to be seen, just a shovel. [You might have to look that up.] Cordless drills? Here in UK at that time, cordless drills had a crank on the side that you turned…

If anybody is interested in them, I could bring them with me to the ECLSTS, but remember that they are in PAL format…
