Don Scott's video

[downeastrailfan]

My copy of "The Last Years of Canadian Pacific Steam: 1956 to 1960" just arrived.

The majority of the footage is not on the DAR, but it includes the following:

2551 at Kentville in 1957. Gov. Gen. Vincent Massey special from Halifax.
1050 at Kentville.
1067 eb freight at Kentville.
6560/6561 on gypsum train at Windsor.
9059 at Windsor.
2665 on Midland mixed at Windsor.
1067 at Windsor.

This is the first footage I've seen of the S3's, so that alone was worth the purchase price. The format is mostly locomotive shots only, and for New Brunswick railfans, it features McAdam, Saint John, and the Norton-Chipman line. There are also shots on CN at Moncton.

The price is $40 and it is available from Don Scott. donald_scott at telus.net

Just wondering Steve, if a bunch of us pre-ordered the video if this would be incentive for Don to do another run?

That's a really good thought Brian. I wonder if we can get 10 or more people to commit. I'm sure that would encourage Don to reconsider.

If he would consent I could even put a few clips up on the front page to encourage further sales.

Any takers?

[briantrainman]

Count me in.
