Blackbox-av has been commissioned to install a wide range of equipment at the Severn Valley Railway's (SVR) new Engine House Visitor Centre.
The railway runs regular steam-hauled passenger trains over a 16 mile line between Kidderminster, Worcs., and Bridgnorth, Salop. The journey closely follows the course of the River Severn and is largely run by unpaid volunteers.
The Engine House Visitor Centre - which houses an impressive collection of fully restored rolling stock, venerable steam locomotives, exhibitions, educational facilities and archives - opened on 21 March, the occasion having been postponed from last year following torrential summer storms.
Blackbox-av was commissioned by exhibition designers, Imagemakers, to install a wide range of standard AV equipment to support the new displays, exhibits and educational facilities.
The company also installed bespoke systems to provide simulated steam, glowing coal boiler fires and engine sound effects for the display of steam engines.
'Clocked In', its creative team, also produced a number of documentaries for visitors. The team spent a week on site, filming interviews with the volunteers and shots of the locomotives in operation.
The three finished documentary films deal with the history of the SVR, restoration of its steam engines and the daily life of the SVR volunteers.
A showreel of some of the filming can be accessed on the company’s website at www.clockedin.co.uk
