Video of My Live Steam Loco No.4 - MSS Saddle Tank

[Chris Cairns]

OK, having fitted a refurbished Mamod loco boiler into this loco, I've finally managed to get some satisfactory running. I'll post a topic about this troublesome loco soon, but in the meantime here is the loco in action.

Thanks for looking. I hope you enjoyed it.

Great video Chris especialy the part taken behind the train.
i will have to find a cheep video camera to do the same as the one we have is too expensive to take the chance on the carriages.
great job thanks for sharing

Yes I got that video camera cheap on ebay. Whilst it is good for video, it takes very low resolution digital photos, so my digital camera is better for that (although I'm looking at getting a new one with a good macro facility for all these steam engine close-ups).

The screen had started to play up on it as well, but I sorted that out by dropping my photo bag on a steam tour in the Philippines which broke the glass screen - viewfinder still works OK. Hence I am not to worried about dropping it again.

well that fair enough lol
the vid camera we own takes 4mp stills to sd card as well as video to dv tape. has a great zoom facility 12x optical and upto 600x digital also does macro stills so im very happy with it. only down side is that I couldnt get wide angle or telezoom lenses for it even yho they were listed in their parts catalog.
