August 2018: In the Railways section of the website, the older photographs which had been taken as far back as the 1990's were uploaded as very small pictures due to the limitations on web space back then. Now no such limitations exist, all the old photos are being rescanned and added to improved web pages. This process has started with the railways under England, and Hatfield, Honister, and Berwick Drift, has so far all been updated.

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.

900mm Gauge on Rühlermoor: This DVD provides a facinating insight into an area seen as a strategic energy site for Germany, with trains from the iol, and gas and peat industies al operating on the same network. This is probably the largest and most intensively worked industrial narrow gauge site in Germany today.
Klasmann: Operations of the Klasmann-Deilmann railway still operating in Germany today, mostly filmed in 2106, plus archive footage from up to 20 years ago.
Industrial Narrow Gauge Survivors: An interesting cross section of real industrial narrow gauge railways still working across Europe.
Steam on the Rack in Austria: Using footage from the 1990s as well as from 2015, all three of the metre gauge rack railways surviving in Austria are featured with nearly all the original steam locos seen during the course of the production.
Bolton Fell; The end of an Era: A release looking at the last traditionally regularly worked narrow gauge railway in England that closed in June this year. The video footage includes many of the Motor Rail locos that used to work on this site, compiled from several visits over they years including the final dismantling of the line.
