Jeremy English 1947-2021 WHEN it came to filming trains, particularly main line steam, Jeremy English was a natural. He had the pioneering foresight to realise the potential for a rail news video magazine, and he founded ‘Railscene’ in 1984. He travelled the country, always in Volkswagen group cars, creating enthralling footage of mainline steam, heritage steam and contemporary traction.
His portfolio also included cab rides, modelling and main line steam in the USA. The pot-pourri of content gave wide appeal, as did his scripting technique, which went far beyond technical and location details. His production of Railscene ceased in 2003, Jeremy switching to contract filming and production.
