	And your movies are most definitely the most professional home movies I
have seen, Roger!  All scenes are crisp and clear with car numbers
readable at even moderate distances which is unusual for 8 or super-8
film converted to video.
	And I immediately recognized that you had edited your movies into
progressive, sequential, geographical scenes so that it definitely tells
a story.
	Your snow scenes are breath-taking!
	And the movies open with shots of the 21-line in an heavy rainstorm -
we see a 1600-series car turn the corner and then Roger pans down to the
street and rails acting as gutters - quite effective!

	Why not get in touch with Carl Schultz (mailto:cschultz at qis.net - just
click here) and maybe at least part of your movies can be in the East
End tape(s)!  There are snow scenes in this portion as well and that
would be an excellent addition to the East End tapes of TGM!
