New Video: Taits, Harris trains & Parcel vans. 18 1/2 minutes.
  Richard Youl

This movie video covers the St Kilda, Sandringham and Upfield lines mainly, with the odd scene elsewhere.

Mostly is is from Standard and Super 8mm film, with a short section of VHS video.

For the silent St Kilda and Sandringham scenes I have spliced in parts of the tape recordings of rides on Taits on these lines, roughly synchronising locations. Other sections remain silent as I have no recordings on those lines.

To date there is very little movie/video of these fascinating trains on YouTube. Hopefully this will partly fill that void.

If you watch the Parcel Van trains you will see 3 cars with those central roof cupolas recently discussed on TDU.

Special thanks to the knowledgeable friend who helped with identifying many of the locations.
