      Hi,

      Steve Green directed me to some excellent LUL cabride vids a while ago:

      Interesting viewing, even if you don't want to build a route.

        Indeed they are very nice. A couple have replacement sounds, to block out the driver's chatting about MCB's, so I hear :-D!!

          Excellent cab ride videos, I've downloaded all of them!

          A question: Any of these routes were already portrayed in BVE?
          I remember I have downloaded a patch for the UK
          District Line route some months ago, is this the same route shown on the videos?

          Rgds,

              Right this has been mentioned:

              225 studios which Uncle Pope has given us in another post,

              Video 125 which is somewhere on the net (http://www.video125.co.uk) or .com I think

              Theres; Runfurrow videos, Ian Allan have done a few.

              Loads out there, heres a few sites:



              Not just cab rides, Driver's eye views are so much more. Produced with the official sanctions of the relevant Train Operating Companies, you'll see the driver, the controls, the dials and the train. Many feature aerial views as will as the inside of the signal boxes and of course all the history in the narration.

                I put the correct video pieces together and ran it along side the BVE route for the same section. It is amazing. The BVE route is cleaner and better maintained, but they are almost identical. Even the tree placement is correct in some places. It looks a little different in some of the non rail stuff, but houses get painted and businesses change so that is to be expected. If you can do this, it is a very neat view.

                  Try http://www.ianallansuperstore.com - they stock Video 125, 225 studios, Runfurrow, plus the people who made Network SouthEast DEV's back in the old days before privatisation.

                    Another source for Railscene cab ride videos: http://www.railwayvideo.com/

                    Enter the site and scroll to the bottom then click on "Catalogue" for the list.

                      Blimey, long time since I posted in this forum!

                      Good to see my cabride vids getting a mention! We still have a few more sections of the District Line to add to them!

                      Anyway, a good source of DEVs (including LU) is a company called 225 Studios. I've got loads of their stuff on video and DVD, including the Docklands Light Railway and loads of mainline TOC stuff. Good quality, no commentary, just pure DEV!
                      The latest LU release is the Met Main Baker Street to Uxbridge and return. Changed a little bit since the old Video125 DEV was produced over the same track!

                      225's website address is: http://mysite.freeserve.com/225studios. They usually dispatch items within a day and are very reasonably priced.

                      (Incidentally, I'm not being paid by them to advertise!)
