Excellent - good fun video. And fancy video editing too.

Thank you. At times I wished I'd never started it. I've probably spent days editing it.

There’s a new kid on the block. He's an oily character and doesn't mind who he upsets. Unfortunately poor Toby is the victim of his cruel tongue. Sir Topham Hatt has had a brand new shed built and he's very proud of it, but with Diesel's couldn't-care-less attitude it may not stay in pristine condit...

Your lawn is almost bowling green standard. Mine is, at best, golf course rough. As Greg says, an interesting track plan. I like the junction for the branchline. Rik Thanks. There's still lots to do to fully integrate the railway into the garden, especially on the branch line side. The plan is to e...

That's an almost perfect GR. Some double track, plenty of stations and passing loops, lots of wiggly track and a sunny spot to sit and watch trains.

Thanks Greg and, as you can see, there is plenty of scope for further development.

A few drone pictures of my garden railway.

I like the way he's towing his own fuel supply around (with BTW buffer wagons )

Rik

Must follow railway practice at all times.

Oooooohhh!! he looks tough

You better believe it.

The peace and tranquility of the Wychbold and Stoke Prior Garden Railway is about to be rudely disturbed.
Thomas and his friends do not know what is about to hit them!
There's a new kid on the block, and he's mean.

I'm pleased they enjoyed it. It has taken a lot of work to bring it to fruition since the original concept was suggested to me by my friend at Pine Tree Junction.
I think I can now take a rest and put the railway to bed for the winter.
Have a great Christmas and New Year too.

Passenger numbers are down, goods traffic has dropped off too.
The future of the railway is uncertain. Can it survive?
Sir Topham Hatt needs to come up with a bold plan to save the railway from bankruptcy.

The railway is in trouble and Sir Topham Hatt calls the engines to a meeting.

Can the railway be saved?

Food for thought.
I also use Kevin's music from time to time. If this happens to me I will now know what to do. Thanks for posting.

It's all coming together nicely. Can I just ask, do you use two cameras and edit the shots together or use one camera and reshoot the movement? If the latter, you have matched the speeds well. Rik Hi Rik, This was all shot using my iPhone as the only camera. It was all a little fraught as I had to ...

Since joining the Wychbold and Stoke Prior Railway loco fleet poor James has never had any suitable coaches to pull. So he was nearly always relegated to pulling goods trains. Recently two brand new shiny splendid red coaches arrived on the railway and now James' dreams have come true and he can pul...

You have even detailed the ceiling in the tunnel. And included the little recesses for the staff to duck into if a train comes while they're in there! It's all looking great. It's got a real mainline feel - I hope we get to see Gordon rushing over that bridge with The Express sometime... All the be...

Yesterday was the second birthday of my garden railway.

I started construction on 28th June 2020. It's reached the toddler stage. Lots of growing up still to do.

Very nice, thanks for sharing. The slow running is most impressive, well done.

Thank you. That's the real benefit of battery power and radio control.
