The weather is so wretched that it looks as if Friday will be the only day i get to film but we do have archive features on the go, certainly ready this week will be down Your Way Lancashire which is mostly 1958 visits to the North West with scenes in Leyland, St Helens, Bury, Bolton and Blackpool. A few of the railway sections weren't up to public viewing standard which is a shame but poor content pulls away from the ethos of the Tickety boo label which is scanned HD images. There are also brief looks at the reopening of the East Lancs Railway and West Lancs ex quarry line these in the 1980s along with the demo of Docklands light rail which was in the run up to the Metrolink we have of today. The other archive feature I'll be preparing this week is on the Bus Spot Ultra series and visits Barnsley starting back in 1958 with Yorkshire Traction. Then we have some other scenes I've collated and then the PMP regular visits. This work will probably provide some clips to go on Youtube. I'm also trying to get up to date with other jobs, other distraction today include flu jab and shopping. I also managed to get our latest releases all up to date on the EBay shop although as usual I implore people to use the PMP shop on www.pmpfilms.com not that hard to remember. Time seems to have been against me today but I did manage to purchase some more of the model buildings and decorations that you download, I've filed them away in my 'modelling' file. I'm still working on the Metcalfe back side of terraced houses. I face the usual chore of thinking how roads enter and leave the diorama without a logical or visually acceptable logic. Usually they get hidden by trees or bridges or in my case perhaps behind tall buildings. Looking for a more suitable source of chimney pots as it costs a lot to have cast ones and i need quite a lot, rolling up the paper coloured ones isn't proving that visually realistic. So what have we for tonights slide show, well lets stick with Lancashire Comments are closed.
