The latest news and updates on the site
Latest update : 23rd September 2016
A few updates in the small ads and the addition of stills for the new DVD titled; 'Klasmann', giving a flavour of the content of this DVD, interesting due to the fact that most of the railways can still be seen today.
The site is normally updated approx every 4 weeks or more frequently for small ads.

Video footage always wanted
|
|
Have you any narrow gauge railway video footage that is collecting dust on a shelf somewhere? If you have, why not give other people the change to see it, and consider letting us edit and release the footage for you? In line with the scope of the website we would be interested in any industrial ng subjects, or freight based operations from larger ng lines. Depending on the length and the quality of video available, we could even consider a small payment for the use of it. It could be included on a release with similar subject matter, or maybe even released as a full DVD in its own right. Drop us an email and let us know what you have.
