Thanks folks. Probably twice as much footage lying on the virtual cutting room floor. Some shots just didn't look right. Though I wish I'd now got a shot of the pickup goods departing and HGLW returning to the sidings - alternatively, you could say it's like one of those films with an ambiguous ending ..... :?

I love your railway Rik, your backdrops are so beguiling that I really don't see lgb couplings. I wouldn't bother to change them but I can see the challenge of developing the Peckforton patent would be enjoyable.

I agree regarding the couplings, they are reliable and work.

If you want to change something Rik get rid of the plastic log loads on your wagons ;)

I wasn' sure what Tom was on about...until I saw the log wagons being shunted directly towards the camera
... Oh dear! :shock:
