LIVERPOOL BUSES OCT 1996

Описание: www.pmpfilms.com the worlds largest collection of transport hobby DVDs featuring buses, lorries, trams and trolleybuses worldwide. Also a vast array of archives you never see on Youtube! Plus digital downloads and links to half a million still images.Welcome to the world of PMP films owned by Dave and Mandy Spencer. It is really a hobby for us and we take great pleasure in meeting with other transport enthusiasts around the world.

The origins of PMP go back to the 1970s when we sold photographs at local transport society meetings in Manchester.

We had a brief period selling models which gave us the PMP name. Peover Model Promotions which also alludes to our home village in the Cheshire countryside.

At the end of the 1980s we started filming on video and by 1989 had launched video sales. We were fortunate in having good friends who gave us access to archive cine film which broadened our range both in time and locations.

As video faded as a format we started to produce DVDs and in 2010 commenced filming in HD or high definition which produces startling quality although it handles motion less well. Our films feature transport items unless stated otherwise. This means natural sound with no narration or music added. We are not a Hollywood production company so don't expect Ice Road Truckers, our budget is a tank of fuel not a million dollars. One customer complained that his trucking DVD had nothing but trucks on it- you just cannot win. After having a knee replacement in Sept 2015 Dave retired from his 'day' job and now works full time bringing you more films than ever.

For snail mail or reference you can download our order form which can be posted or emailed through to us. Use the links to our Smug Mug site for purchasing still photos and downloads. Digital still downloads for all our images was added in 2018 on our Smugmug site together with the introduction of DVD digital downloads on this our own site. Digital downloads for DVDs are on our shop for releases mid 2018 onwards. We expect to be on full spec optical fibre autumn 2023 and this will greatly speed up putting our downloads on the shop.


Our archive feature images are where possible selected from HD scanned cine film for archives with a high standard of reproduction. We use NEAT to clean old film and video, de interlacing when required, up quality where needed to HD and adjust speed to 50-60fps.
Dave now manages the new OTA channel on Youtube and is working with OTA to scan moving images in their collection and also assisting the reintroduction of railway films formerly compiled by Jeremy English.

Dave is also working with friends around the world to introduce new model buses in 4mm scale to a high detail spec.

We are also branch sec and Chair for Cheshire, Wirral and Nth Wales branch of the British Polio Fellowship, Patrons of the Royal Northern College of music and sponsors of the North West Vehicle Restoration Trust.
