www.video125.co.uk, the website for Britain's favourite railway film producer. Rosslare is the starting point for this journey through Ireland to Dublin. In 2003 Ireland's substantial network of Inter-city routes was exclusively the domain of diesel locomotive hauled trains and here, captured for posterity, is one such route, plied by class 071 loco and Mk2 coaching stock - all now history.

    Mad how times change, needed a chopper for them air views, now one can do it with a drone. Miss these trains and sounds.... Yes some still about but the sound and smell. Loved them.

    Shame there aren’t many trains to Rosslare during the day. It’s such a beautiful main line.

    The present Rosslare "station" is remote from the passenger terminal and quite sad.

    Drone or helicopter? In reply to Al Milhouse, yes aerial shots can be taken from a drone but hang on. We can't follow a train with a drone. We can only take one train in one place. Train continuity is lost. With a helicopter we can follow ONE train all the way on one day (guaranteeing the weather as a result). We can decide what bits to use afterwards rather than trying to work out what a shot will look like before flying a drone in one location. We don't have to get permission from every single land owner on the route, just the CAA. Doing the whole route in one day does cost a few thousand pounds but the advantages are numerous. Overnight accommodation and subsistence soon add up by using a drone and the end result is that we don't have so many aerial shots. We have employed drone operators on a few of our productions but end up paying £500 approximately for one shot. It works out far cheaper and better from a helicopter.

    You'd make more money from these (a considerable amount more) if you just uploaded the full video to youtube and put ads in every 10mins. Rather than try sell non HD DVDs to ppl in UK or Ireland. Physical media is dead, nobody has a dvd player anymore. Think of all the videos on YouTube of world wide drivers eye cab rides or even videos of somebody turning wood for an hour to make some tacky bowl - they get millions of views from around the world and make a fortune for the uploader. Dont let these archives go to waste. Share with the world and you'll make an income at the same time.
