Video Maenofferen 1978

[AJC]

A fascinating bit of film at the very end of the Blaenau Ffestiniog slate industry in its traditional form. A handful of wagons, a battered Ruston and and awful lot of industrial and natural landscape.

That's a great video. From a modelling viewpoint, I wonder how many people would be brave enough to duplicate the weathered colours seen in that film ? Maybe a bit bold considering that the stock would more commonly wet and duller.

On the same subject a few years earlier you might like to look at an old film of mine on Maen Offeren ;

Yes, its my film and I posted the link to it in my topic "PhilH's Industrial Railway Photos" in the Gallery section, together with still photographs taken at Maenofferen both on the surface and underground.

Obviously you haven't been paying attention !

I'm new here. There's a lot to look through. I'll go and look at your photos now.
Sadly a lot of my stills from those days have suffered badly in storage,
