After two great days of running, the rains came to the Overdale Valley yesterday afternoon just after finishing a run of the new Lumberjack. One observation made was that in the summer I must adopt a revised order for steaming up. I have always adopted the Gas Oil Water then light-up routine and mad...

Just one thing though Graham, can you leave off the music or at least lower the volume a bit, we do like to hear the locos and the rolling stock make their individual sounds….

Thanks for the suggestion I am never sure which is best.

I started this running session late in the afternoon as it got relativly cooler at the bottom of our garden.

Probably the "Camera Mic" I was using my phone.

A Mixed train running whilst doing garden Jobs. Pity I had to stop every now and again to take the Video.

Enjoy.

I wish the leaves in my garden were so well behaved. They just won't stay still for a photo to be taken.
Or are you using some mysterious Leaf Glue ?????????.......

Don't think Borton on the Water ever had a railway. The model is of that village.

I was alive and well on Saturday morning before the show opened. Their display even included a preview of a Tram Engine being developed.

It might be ok. It was going blue just before it rained. I did manage to cover it but it had gone white by then. When I checked after the rain had stopped it was blue again.

Just put a meter of fresh ballast down soaked in SBR and the heavens opened.

I like the compensation arrangement. Does it work on both ends or just one?.

I have combined them all and added some running on OVLR.

Same for me too and I uploaded the video . To find them now lookup TIM 20180118 (the date backwards, the other videos have the same title format)
Hope this helps.

If you like the steam effect look at YouTube OV 20180225

Inspiring.

I will watch this project with interest. I have just acquired one of these locos and just found out the secrets of dismantling it.
My next task was to work out how to motorize it.

Does anyone know the name of the brown colour that the Penrhyn Quarryman's coaches K-Q were painted?.

Yes then I will have two prototypes to model my engines on. (Accucraft Baldwin and Roundhouse Russell).
