Additional Feedback (via e-mail or letter)

 

"Well I've looked at the DVD and have to say it is excellent and in my opinion of all the videos/dvds so far made about "Thumpers" this is the best I've seen. 
I particularly like the way you have captured action and been able to change shots and locations without losing continuity, also the film you used has leant itself well to being processed in dvd format. 
There is a tendency with these recordings to linger on one object but you seem to have avoided this except where it adds to the quality and content of the shot. 
Also, you have captured well the sound quality which when I compare say to the Train Crazy films which they incorporated in their third rail emu album were very !quiet".  One of the most endearing things that people like about the DEMUS was capturing that English Electric sound! 
I look forward to your next edition with expectation and say again WELL DONE!" .....Chris (Hampshire).....

 

What did you like?  "Good quality sound and some cracking footage" .....Bernie (Derbyshire).....

 

What did you like?  "the race with the thumper and the class 50, Just keep going the same a great collection of DVD"  .....Oliver (Surrey).....

 

What did you like?  "Just a general interest in the 205/207 DMU's as these were introduced into this area at a time when I was using the trains" .....Richard (Hampshire).....
 

 What did you like?  "Good picture quality" .....Mike (West Sussex).....

 

What did you like?  "I particularly like the run-by shots, a lot of DVD's tend to stick to platform shots. I know that your DVD's also contain these, but its clearly stated by you that its a journey along a particular route, therefore stopping off most, if not all stations.

The only thing I found that annoyed me, was the wind in some shots, as stated above.
Overall, Id give the three DVD's I've seen so far, a 9.5 out of 10."  .....Andrew (Hertfordshire).....
 

What did you like?  "NO SILLY MUSIC"  .....Alan (Co. Antrim).....
