20/3/07 - A
Request
from the Video
Librarian :-
Members
may be aware that we have a videotape in the Society’s library with a short B&W
film from Yugoslav TV covering the last days of the 600mm Ohrid-Gostivar line
which was operated exclusively with ‘Feldbahn’ locos when it closed in 1966.
Although poor quality the program is most interesting & was thought to be the
only known movie footage of the line.
However member Richard Harrison, who recently borrowed the videotape, has
drawn our
attention to
another film of the line & this time in colour !
The
short 12-minute program is called
‘Ohrid Express’ &
was produced by a French company. It was nominated for an award at the
Cannes film
festival in 1965 & is reported as having been shown at another festival in the
USA in
2002.
Enquiries are afoot to try & trace this film & we are asking the membership
whether anyone has
heard of the film
or knows where it might be located [or even owns a copy !]
Any
‘clues’ would be most gratefully received by the Video Librarian & members will
be informed if
the
program is located.
15/3/07 - This web-site was changed on 14/3/07 and
being mainly the same content as before, it is
now
up to us ensure that this public face of the NGRS is kept alive and up to date.
Would both ordinary and committee
members please look through the web-site, especially
in the areas of their responsibility or special
interest and send me
additions, broken links, inconsistencies, amendments and any/all ideas for
changes to the site however "silly". All will be considered.
Please send your emails to
mick.d.morgan(at)btinternet.com
They will be better received and more quickly acted on than paper
notes, though all will be given equal attention.
Attachments
in Word and most other formats can be handled. Pictures can be added to the
site, and can be balanced and re-sized to suit, so lets see a few changes over
the coming months.
