4 DEC 09 : To celebrate Saint Barbara's Day, I've come up with a compilation disc called USA Rails 4. This DVD features the best of medium to high speed shots taken from the original USA Rails 3 disc series. I originally put this one together just for me and my tastes, but am now happy to share it with everyone. It's now listed on the Videos page.

8 JAN 10 : Good grief, the wind has been diabolical, with only a few good days for filming either side of Xmas day. This has foiled my plans to get a lot of filming done while I'm on holiday. It pains me to hear the trains go through Feilding and not being able to get any footage due to the weather. Maybe things will calm down a bit in February.

I've uploaded a new batch of photos to keep you all happy - all taken in December. The photo of the DXB exiting Fordell Tunnel has to be credited to Shaun Anderson of Marton. He was using my SLR while I was filming. Nice shot, Shaun.

27 JAN 10 : I've been spending a bit of time at the Marton junction and making use of the excellent lighting conditions from the floodlights - and not getting home until after midnight as a result. Train E24 from New Plymouth is providing me with quite a bit of variety with the changeover of locos at Marton, combined with the milk trains and the usual late night freights, I can see up to five trains here within a three hour period. The night shots I've got from here are absolutely superb. The arcing of the pantographs is one heck of a light and sound show. Check out the new video on Youtube.

20 FEB 10 - Two productions at once released today. I've been working furiously for the last two weeks tidying up these two and I'm pleased with the end result. Filmed in glorious widescreen Hi definition, both are available in DVD and AVCHD Hi-Def Blu-ray compatible disc. Both programs feature some wicked pacing shots and night shots from Marton - filmed under their new floodlights that really do turn night into day. 

22 FEB 10 - Out of pure frustration and necessity, I've resorted to importing a quantity of Blu-ray Disc cases. These things have been impossible to find in New Zealand. So now I'm offering what I have up for sale. A new link on the Links page takes you to these items.
