Railfan Technology > vendors to transfer VHS tapes to digital format - C&O AllegheniesDate: 02/06/21 10:51 vendors to transfer VHS tapes to digital format - C&O Alleghenies Author: NKP779 I have a VHS tape that is 20-25 years old and is quite viewable. It contains railfan movies from a Bluffton, Ohio, man who recorded lots of NKP action through town. That alone is good stuff. He has long since gone to the great roundhouse in the sky and I have visited the house with no luck trying to track down the original footage..
He has scenes of 3 or 4 brand new C&O 2-6-6-6 locos backing northbound from the Lima Locomotive Works to the customer at Fostoria, Ohio. Because of their length, the Alleghenies had to be constructed in the north bay- and pointed south. There was no suitable place to turn them in Lima. There are no cabooses, just running light-singly- in 1942 and/or 1943. As far as I know, it is irreplaceable footage. There are all sorts of VHS transfer service vendors but I would like first hand testimonials about their reliability, technical competence, etc. Need help in Lima-land!

I think their site is legacybox.com They can deliver on DVD, thumb drive, or online download. I know some folks who have used their service, and were very happy with the results. Posted from iPhone |
