G-scale 33, supported by bashed Bachmann shunter, performs for the camera
A sunny fun day with not too many derailments (usually the oversized ballast lodged against the rail, or more spectacularly, crossed-up couplings — keep watching at the end). With, inevitably, added noise and thumpy music.
I like it best on a small screen, with decent headphones and, erm, quite loud.

Thank you - loved the gentle working even when it got a little frenetic with the shunting too and fro! Great watch over a glass of red in the evening sunshine in N Wales

Great video! Always love seeing your semi-scale stuff. I'm taking notes on your creations, because my kid keeps requesting his favorite Thomas characters and I'm trying to figure out how to squeeze them down to 2ft gauge.

Love it! Even though it's / they are mucky diesels....
I suppose most of our railways are a bit of a compromise between gauge and scale.

Very clever. A unique railway and strangely, more realistic than most

Thank you all — glad you’ve enjoyed it (and relieved).
The moment I press the button to publish a new video is immediately before the moment when I cringe about not having taken a little more trouble with it…

Very nice!
That 33 looks great on a goods train...

No cringe necessary! I've been watching your older ones too and they're all class.

Great filming work, very steady. And the dubbed sounds really add a layer of immersion.
