No new titles have been added in April.
Much work has taken place to merge the anbrico.org website into the main anbrico.com site.  It is worth visiting the site on a regular basis as we now include short video clips and special discount offers.
Video footage also features on YouTube and Flickr.
Today film of an East Coast HST with one power car and a visit to the Workington Shuttle have been added.
Photographs feature on Railway Herald, Photobox and Flickr.  Just search for Felixjaz!
Hopefully next month we will be visiting the Lymington Branch to say goodbye to the slam-door EMU. Maybe you will be joining me?
Enjoy the good weather while it lasts!

Sun May 3, 2009 5:57 pm

 

A new DVD is now available from Anbrico Felixjaz. 

 

"This is Preston" contains footage from 1987 to 2009 and runs for 64 minutes.

Section 1: 1987 (February)
Section 2: 1987 (Feb–May)
Section 3: 1988 (July)
Section 4: 1989 (Sept-Oct)
Section 5: 1993 (July-Aug)
Section 6: 2004-2007-2009
Includes Classes: Locomotives: 25, 31, 47, 66, 67, 85, 86, 87, 90, 92.  DMUs: 101, 104, 108, 142, 150, 153, 155, 156, 158, 175, 180 & 185.  Also HST, 221 & 390.
 

This title was requested by www.prestonstation.org.uk/ who say:

 "The 80s are back... And they're DREADFUL! ... (and so are the 90s).  It's like the 80s never went away - Preston the way it used to be, with 87s, 86s, 85s, 47 galore and even a pair of 25s in their final days. For the DMU fans, 104s and 108s are in plentiful supply, as are 101s and some almost new 142s.  As we move into the 90s, we see the move to Intercity livery, with class 31s on Regional Railways services and much more.  The DVD is rounded off with a short selection of footage from the new millennium, bringing us right up-to date.  This is an essential nostalgia trip for all of us who had an interest in Preston Station, and railways in general over the last three decades."
 

Hope you will find this new title of interest, but be aware that you may already have some of the footage in other Anbrico DVDs!
 

Enjoy the good weather!

In addition to the 4 Wales and Borders DVD titles released in early October a fifth is available as from today:
AV573: The North Wales Class 57
The first three sections mostly feature the 390 hauled by the class 57 from Crewe to Holyhead (featuring stops at Rhyl, Colwyn Bay,Llandudno Junction and Bangor) while the last couple of sections show stops at Llandudno Junction, Colwyn Bay, Rhyl, Prestatyn, Flint, Chester, Warrington Bank Quay, Earlstown, Newton-le-Willows, Oxford Road and Piccadilly.
There is an additional section entitled Copmanthorpe which is outside the five menu sections which shows 57313 which was sent to recover 221136 which had been derailed the previous evening. There was plenty of media attention as the rescued train eventually departed. Although not North Wales, this happened very close to Anbrico Felixjaz HQ.
Total running time = 61 minutes for the main feature and 11 minutes for the short!
Please note that:
AV374: The Cardiff - Pwllheli Class 37
AV375: The North Wales Class 37

The last couple of months have been taken up with film production. It was decided to release four Welsh titles at the same time therefore holding back a couple from last month. This will hopefully tie in with the North Wales feature in the latest issue of "Traction" magazine.
Also we are running a "Boots" style promotion with the Ian Allan Book shop in Cardiff which is buy two at the regular price and request a third free! Regular customers can also claim the free postage option.
The following four titles will be available from tomorrow on eBay:
AV374: The Cardiff - Pwllheli Class 37
AV375: The North Wales Class 37
AV376: The North West Class 37 (OK, not Wales but shows Welsh services)
AV473: The North Wales Class 47
There is also a Class 57 title which has now been held back waiting events on the planned North Wales to Cardiff and return service. And yes there could be additional interest with the loss of weekday loco-hauled Euston/Holyhead in the December timetable change.
The planned introduction of more slam-door titles this year looks as though it will be early 2009 now! Thanks to Ian Allan at Waterloo and, organisations such as the Southern Electric Group and EPB Preservation, these are now our best selling titles!
Daylight is getting shorter so get out and see some action sooner rather than later.
Oh yes don't forget 508s finish in Kent in this December!

Scale Models:
All the "scale models" pages on the .com website have now transferred to .org. In most cases the page title and content has not changed
therefore it is just a like for like swap. Additional photographs will be added to each page over time so keep checking back.

Video Services:
Two more DVDs have been released which were originally available on VHS in 1988. Both revolve around the BLS 75 Year celebrations in
Switzerland. The first, AV54, shows the Electric Loco Parade which features stock from around Europe while the second, AV55, looks at the various steam locomotives hauling special trains to Interlaken.  The above titles are the first to carry holograms on the DVD packaging
and a short piece of film explaining the details within the DVD itself.  All titles sold from this week will carry the hologram but it may be
many months before the short film is included within the DVD. Look at the website to see an example.

As always, keep an eye on all the Anbrico websites as many more changes will be taking place over the next month or so. Maybe you would like your own page on the .com web-site. Watch out for The Paul of York Page, which is not this Paul!
 

Fri Mar 28, 2008 7:28 pm

 

Scale Models: More pages have been added to the new www.anbrico.org website. Gauge 0 British Pullman coaches and New York Central vehicles have been added. The "My Anbrico" Collection pages have transferred from the .com to the .org website.

This weekend the clocks change and hopefully the weather will improve so get out filming as we will be doing!

All at Anbrico-Felixjaz want to wish everyone a Happy Christmas and a great New Year.
Many more titles are planned for 2008. Watch out for the Southern slam-door series.

Tue Dec 11, 2007 9:21 am

Yesterday eBay decided to close down Anbrico Felixjaz.
Even after an exchange of -mails I am unsure why this is and what's more worrying is that eBay appear to be able to justify why. Since it's their organisation they can do as they want. The problem for Anbrico Felixjaz is that a couple of years ago we decided to do all our sales via eBay. In the previous 25 years Anbrico would sell films via cheque to our Pudsey address but times have changed and eBay appeared to be the way forward.
Lots of new titles are in production with a Eurostar title just being completed this week and many Slam-Door titles due out in the New Year.
How we then sell the new DVDs is a problem but we're working on that. Thank you for your custom and positive feedback, which is what has kept us producing new titles.
Happy Holidays to everyone.

Scale Models: October gave us the chance to photograph a large collection of Anbrico models. Many hundred photographs were taken.
With a new collection of images now available it was decided to split the website and create a totally new site for Anbrico Scale Models at www.anbrico.org. It is hoped that the new site will go live in early January 2008.
DVD films: October saw the addition of a powerful new computer, at Anbrico, which speeds up the process of rendering films. Previously this process has taken many hours, but has now been reduced to a fifth of that time. Also the large storage of 2.5TB (2,500GB) will assist with the big projects planned for the future. Last month Anbrico teamed up with Hellfire-Haulage. This is the first time we have edited non-Anbrico video film to be sold under the Anbrico banner. Later this week "The Class 31 Finale" will be released which will contain over four hours of film split over three DVDs. If this is well received more projects can be shared with Hellfire-Haulage or anyone else out there who thinks thay have interesting film!
Later this month it is hoped to re-issue AV125 since Eurostar departure from Waterloo are now historic.
A new site www.anbrico.eu has been set up to feature European Transport photographs. This will eventually include stills from future European DVD titles. Have a look.

We now have a Poll for the group created by Andy. Thanks for that.
What we don't have, at the moment, is a large enough membership.
Yesterday an invite was sent to all recent Anbrico eBay visitors in a hope that we may get a few more people join.

Andy also added a couple of links. Please feel to add other interest group links. If you have interest in these groups then maybe we could pass the word round about the Anbrico Yahoo Group.

Please complete the Poll and also get others interested.

Just a note for those interested in Mainland Europe titles, many of the original Anbrico videos will be re-edited to DVD standard in the
new year. A Poll will be issued nearer the time.

Sat Sep 15, 2007 5:44 pm

Welcome to our recent new members.

Scale Models: More David Voice tram pictures have been added to the
website since the last news mail. Following up a contact down under
for another possible collection.

DVD Films: AV135: The Western Region Class 101-121 DMU review appears
in the October edition of Traction magazine (If you don't want to buy
a copy just read the review on the Anbrico website).

AV302: The London, Tilbury & Southend Class 302-317 DVD was released
yesterday on eBay. This title was originally issued in 1994 on VHS
tape then re-edited in 2000 but never released. In 2007 it has been re-
edited again to include film taken in 2001 but does not include the
class 357 stock.

Wed Sep 5, 2007 7:48 pm

Welcome to all Anbrico Yahoo group members.

Scale Models: A number of new model collections have been added to the website. Brian Wild sent in pictures of his collection of early hand-built Anbrico trams. Brian along with the other new contacts actually came via an e-Bay tram listing. David Voice produces tramway, books some of which include details of Anbrico products.

Website: A new header has also been added to the website reflecting the scale model years.

DVD Films: Although a number of new titles were planned for August the recent good weather meant that getting out and adding to film-stock would be far a better use of the sunshine. The following locations have been visited by Anbrico over the last five weeks.

Ellesmere Port Branch - This now completes filming at all MerseyRail Electrics stations.

North Wales Coast - More class 57 stock footage has been added.

Lymington Branch - 421498 in service running with the Lymington Flyer headboard.

London to Southend - More class 357 stock footage has been added.

Longcross (Sunningdale) - This now completes filming at all former Southern 3rd rail stations.

Most of the above film stock will not be required in the short term but it does prompt other titles.
