At our March 2022 meeting we screened a rarely seen video of the 1983 Railway Jamboree NMRA national convention held in Winnipeg. The response was so enthusiastic that we've decided to post it on You Tube for everyone else to see!
The late Roger Kiendl shot this video using a heavy, bulky video camera with a separate battery pack in a canvas bag slung over his shoulder. We estimate that he was lugging around about 40 pounds of equipment during that very hot week in July. This was state of the art equipment back then!
The video contains great footage of first and second generation diesel power at the CP Weston Shops and the CN Transcona Yards. Roger also took his camera into the convention's public train show, held at the Winnipeg Convention Centre. Check out the awesome N scale iron ore loading dock!
