A Forgotten Era
Thu Jul 13, 2017 4:38 am
We're rather lucky to have a National Heritage site [ Museum ] in South Ayrshire, dedicated to the preservation of the old steam engines which used to serve the [ then ] local coal mines.
Several times per year, they fire them up and open the gates to the public to have a wander round and included in your entry fee you get a ride on the train.
When I visited last weekend [ 09/07/2017 ] the weather was foul but it helped to give a sense of misery! These poor old engines are the last link to the history of Ayrshire as a coal producing County.
I do hope you see something you may like.
Yours Aye

Nice job. The music you used seems to work very well.
I would make a couple of minor changes.
Introduce a little bit of motion using the Ken Brown effect and some slight screen transitions between the slides.
Just my way of doing things.
Other wise I liked it. I was always a fan of railroads, that was the era I grew up in. Used to build railroad models when I was a kid.
