Hi All, I just finished watching the brand new release "PRSL in the 50s" http://home.comcast.net/~hoboron/test/prr-reading.htm by Mainline Motion Pictures. http://mlmp.tripod.com The 8 mm transfer to video transfer quality was ranging from pretty good to much better then average. While my copy is a "pre-release" version, which I was told there were no captions; there also are no simulated train effects or narration. The musical soundtrack could be likened to "wedding dinner" music. I don't know how much of the soundtrack will change with the full final release version.
About 1/2 of it (the first half of 55 mins.) was exclusively passenger shots throughout the PSRL system. I was surprised at the complete mixture of Reading and PRR equipment in every configuration along with the PRSL, as opposed to my incorrect visions of mostly PRR with a few Reading pieces in the mix. It is definitely NOT an "engine and caboose" collection. You get to see almost all of every passenger train, and some of the freight cars as well. THAT my friends is a beautiful thing! There are about 10 minutes towards the end that show big Reading power and shots in Enola and possibly I1 with the ore trains. Some brief highlights include: Street running with a very clean PRSL Baldwin S12 and 2 coaches. A brief visit to a wreck that killed 2 B&O hoppers with some other cars. A Reading (T1?) bringing a train into Enola. The little Reading shop switcher was interesting. A high concentration of PB70, with some trains having 2-3 of them. I was glad to see almost all of the P70 had the full striping in Dulux, as that is how I am currently decaling my P70s. I was hoping for some footage on the island of Wildwood, especially at Cold Spring Harbor, but it was not to be. I am pretty sure there are some shots at Wildwood Junction. I would highly recommend the disc. You can see how to run small passenger trains too. For the record I PAID for my copy.
