This film was taken with an old 8mm silent cine camera, which takes 50ft spools and the spool lasting 4 minutes. It worked by running 25ft of the film...then turning the whole lot over, and running the other 25ft., which Kodak then spliced it down the middle, joined it, producing a 50ft. spool.
I have already posted this on my channel, but as the film is silent, I added a music soundtrack.
What I have done now is: fully re-mastered the video (improved the contrast and better editing..............THEN
I have found a web site freesound.org and have now added sound effects.
It has taken me several days to complete this 28 minute film, so to the purists............I know most of the effects don't match, and I know it is NOT perfect....but it has got to be better than listening to orchestral music, so PLEASE don't complain.
The video was taken Saturday 3rd. August 1968 at Preston Station, then at Lostock Hall.
Followed by the Last Day of BR Mainline steam, on the Sunday 4th. August...1T80 Manchester Victoria tour to Carnforth.
I sincerely hope you all enjoy the film, as this is quite historic now.
