Farewell to the Caradoc and Edrig

Since Accucraft decided to withdraw the Caradoc and Edrig those at the PTLR decided it would be prudent to make a fitting tribute video, and here it is.

Yes, I should have added that I watched the vid on youtube and it was excellent even without sound.

Right, I'll post my tribute so thanks for sending me clips guys (!) & thanks for getting rid of my original tribute because it wasn't related, I was eventually allowed to go & film a Caradoc at a local garden railway during an open day (that vid will be posted on Photobucket as if I posted it on you tube, the local W#####s will destroy the line). I'm Pee-ed off again now

No, he builds ride on steam engines, You should see his workshop, a traction engine at the back, A live steam Darjeeling B class at the side (currently having it's boiler tested) & a standard gauge engine (again with it's boiler being tested). I have made a video of the open day that I was invited to & I'm going to post it just for you lot. Oh, & that was the first time I got to drive an R/C roundhouse billy. Great fun (I used a picture that the owner taken as my avatar on this forum

That, is my local garden railway here in stranraer, The main bridge is in 4mm scale as if he used 16mm scale, he'd need a field

I've always been very much impressed by the model of the fourth bridge from seeing it in the magazines.
