We are BURY CINE SOCIETY in the north of Manchester. Around here since 1960 and one of the friendliest movie making societies around
Below are a few freeze frames from a recent shoot at the Urmston and District Model Engineering Society’s railway tracks in Abbotsfield Park when they hosted an inaugural event featuring Kingscale ‘Live Steam’ Locomotives manufactured by the Silver Crest company.
Philip, John, Peter and Richard covered the event on behalf of Kingscale and UDMES, and were made very welcome by the UDMES members who kept them fed and watered through the day. The weather was great, the camaraderie good, and a great day was had by all.
The only disappointment was the small number of Kingscale owners who bothered to turn up.
We will be producing a DVD of the day for both Kingscale and UDMES, and anyone else who requested a copy.
Left are two frames of Phil completing an ‘interview’ with Ashley Wittam of Brighouse & Halifax Model Engineers, who was handling the splendid display of No.3 gauge locomotives owned by Mr. Dennis Halstead, Secretary of the Wakefield Society of Model and Experimental Engineers. Regretably there was not a 3 gauge track at UDMES for them to run on, but one loco - LMS no. 6220 ‘Coronation’, a 4-6-2 Pacific loco of the Princess Coronation class, was set steaming and running its driving wheels on a static rolling road.
Messrs. Wittam and Halstead can be seen in discussion in the bottom right picture.
Bottom left sees John coming to the end of a lap of the track sitting behind the driver, Jason of UDMES. John was filming with his dual set-up of a conventional Sony camcorder side by side with his 3D Kandao Qocam unit.
Note:
A follow on invitation has been received for an event in July - as UDMES were very happy with our conduct and perceived professionalism. See the What’s On page.
