Finally got around to looking at my pics. Unfortunately they're all a bit grainy - here's the best of 'em:
I also wanted to send a greeting to George, an ex-railwaymen, current lurker here, that I met there. Some good stories to be told of years gone by in the south  .

Thanks for sharing nosecone! Great footage once again! I'm curious, is that bridge near the station at all, looks like you had good lighting there for down trains?
I'm sorry I couldn't get out and see her going home though, but I was stuck at work D:

Well thanks but it's not great footage really. It's just a record, captured on a little still camera set to movie mode ... camera placed on a ledge and left running while we take rool stills. The in-built mic suffers from the slightest breeze.
The bridge is a few hundred metres south of Mt Colah station but it's a location best left for mid-morning shots. By the time 402 arrived at 11.39, the sun had just moved to the other side (see catenary mast shadows). 35 minutes earlier, it was a different story but still too acute a sun angle for my liking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnH0ooHCR8Y

Well, as you said, it's a record - that's all my shoddy video footage is too, is a record. A snapshot of time and place. And for that, it's great.
I know what you mean about the built in mic - I have the same issues with my little point and shoot that I let do the video work. I would buy a proper video camera, but I'm spending more money on lenses and kit to worry about it  .
Thanks also for the information on the bridge - I might suss it out a bit before pegging it as a spot for a tour. Cheers

Nosecone -Looks like the Belmont Parade road bridge you were filming from. Always thought about getting a shot from there as it is just up the road from HMC.
Cheers
