[modeleng] Old films

I know I posted this before, but some of you may not have seen it.

For over half-a-century, when one went to the cinema,  the time between the
two films had a newsreel.
All those news clips are available on-line, and the basic version is FREE.
Higher quality versions are available at a nominal cost.

The archive contains millions of films from the 1890's up to 1970.

There are hundreds that are steam related including the 1956 Model Engineer
exhibition, and a couple on model engineering societies. On full size, there
are lots on trains and traction and stationary engines.

There is also a lot that are of historical interest, and it is not just UK,
as there are some from the US, Australia and many other places.

The archive is at:

The easiest way is to select a few films that you like. They then send you
an email with a link, which enables you to download them within a week.
