Semi-scale BR: Class 33

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. :salute: 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. :dontknow:

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. :salute:
