SOUTH AFRICAN RAILWAYS DVD - CAPE PROVINCE MIX 1977/1978

R180.00

The first section of this film was made during December 1977 and January 1978. We watch GMAM's at work between Worcester, Robertson and Heidelberg. We then move up to Ladysmith to follow 19D 3619 working a freight in that area. 25 minutes.The second section filmed during July 1978 moves to the Molteno- Jamestown line with Class 24 3630 on a freight. We then move to the Indwe - Maclear where we follow various 19D's on the local passenger. 29 minutes.The third section, also filmed during July 1978, follows the 15AR's on the Rosmead-Steynsburg section and then on to follow 19D's on the Kliplaat- Oudtshoorn line. 24 minutes.Total viewing time: 1 hour 18 minutes.Price includes track and trace postage to South African addresses. The DVD will be posted to you within 10 days of receipt of payment.We will replace any faulty DVD with another of the same title upon receipt of the faulty DVD from the buyer. This DVD has been converted from Super 8 colour film with full dual track sound and commentary.This very rare film has been stored in a dark dry container for the past 30 or so years. It is still in mint condition and has only been brought out lately to make this DVD.The colour, clarity and sound quality is exceptional for 30 odd year old films. We have taken the greatest possible care to ensure that the conversion process from film to DVD was carried out with the least possible reduction in colour, clarity and sound quality.There are not many, if any, people that possess such a well documented record of such a wide range of motive power from the South African Railways of the past.These are not Hollywood productions so do not expect perfection. They are home made movies taken by one man who had the foresight to put what he saw and heard onto celluloid so that future generations could enjoy what he enjoyed most, watching and listening to South African steam trains in action.You will come across the odd shaky or out of focus scene but we have left these in for the sake of continuity. We trust that by having done this it will not affect your enjoyment.For those of you old enough to remember, enjoy watching and hearing what you used to see. For those of you too young to remember, enjoy watching and hearing what used to be.
