My First Train Video
A version of my first ever video footage ever shot of a railway locomotive, re-hashed to try make playable on modern high resolution screens.
This was taken all the way back on 29th May 2002 on a "Trust 100 Spycam" (basically a webcam you could take with you and stick in your pocket and use as a basic but not that great digital camera) - hence lack of audio and low resolution of 176x144

Footage Upscaling Test
Back in June #2008​ I shot some footage of a train from the Larpool Viaduct on my old Fuji A345 Digital camera​ (my first one).
Yes, I cocked-up in the edit with the date (7th June 2008 I shot it, not June 2018). Which recorded it in 240x320pixels.
So, just over 10years on the small footage looks s**t on modern high resolution monitors.
A few months back I found some software called "Stoik Video​ Enhancer".
Spoiler: Somehow I don't think it's much better than before I upscaled it to 576p or whatever it was.
