I didn’t have a video of 66187, but it was at Round Oak, so worth a ride down to Stourbridge to film it. 68011 was on the ecs from Kidderminster and the timing was just right to film that, 172221 & 172217 departing and then the 66 appearing in the distance all in the one clip. 139001 & 139002 are also seen.
Making the most of a few spare minutes when I changed trains at Snow Hill I managed to film 3 of the trams. The numbers are 18, 22 & 31 – all new trams. I’ve never really bothered filming the Midlands Metro but did photograph the trams in the early days when it first opened, but before digital & with a “poorly” camera so results weren’t too good.
The 3 trams can be seen in a playlist of 4 clips.
After changing the theme for this blog I decided to try adding a mobile theme as well. That seems to work well. One problem to resolve is how the list of “pages” is displayed, the old theme only displayed the main headings, not all of them – something else to look into. Oh, typed this using tablet and mobile theme!
I’m trying a new calendar within the blog. It didn’t work properly with the old theme – so am experimenting with a new theme. The appearance is slightly different, the pages are wider & youtube videos appear much bigger as well. The calendar is for past events, it might even help me with updates I have missed – that is if I can remember to update it as I take videos. The plan is to show events in “red” until they are uploaded, then change them to another colour. If you follow the link below, you will understand what I mean. That reminds me, the latest videos haven’t been uploaded. Only set up in last few hours, so that is the reason for only a few entries, and they don’t include links to videos yet.
