**PLEASE NOTE: The final edit was slightly different to what was originally advertised due to a damaged tape. It now covers the years 1999 to 2009.
2024 marked the 30th anniversary of Train Crazy railway videos and DVDs. Starting out as a hobby in 1994, just about every type of locomotive and unit has featured, with more than 400 passenger, freight, cab ride and tram titles, released on VHS tape, DVD, Blu-ray and download.
Here's the good bit... In the last few years, software to restore old grainy and wobbly film has become more accessible. Previously it was expensive, slow and not very good, but by 2024, huge advances were made. The old film used on these new compilation programmes is all being reworked, improved, cleaned up and upscaled. For the first time, all of the film shot in standard-definition (720 x 576 or less) can be upscaled and presented in top-quality high-definition (1920 x 1080).
No.11 in the series heads to the Southern and Isle of Wight with EMUs filmed over a decade, featuring Class 411, 412, 421, 422 and 423 units. Working on a number of lines, various liveries and 8 & 12 car formations are shown plus the Class 483 sets on the IOW in the NSE, Dinosaur and LU liveries and 1497 - the last Slam Door EMU - working the Lymington branch.
Presented in a no-nonsense format of on-screen captions with unit number, location and date, sit back and enjoy some top-quality action from 30-years ago - with much-improved picture quality and in HD for the very first time! This is far from a complete record of these trains during these years but this is what was filmed, now re-edited, re-worked and upscaled.
