Hi - this looks spot on. What’s the power source; reviews on the product page aren’t particularly helpful!

Love it Andrew!

It’s definitely worth a try, thanks.

However. The entire existing wagon fell to bits earlier so I’m going to build a new one - with suspension and a vibration damping tripod mount!

Thank you all, much appreciated.

New Year’s Day 2024 on the FeckHallBahn https://youtu.be/r4PotjKO6rk Filmed at all the FeckHallBahn’s main line stations over the course of a couple of hours on 1/1/2024. We start at Hornundtrompetebahnhof. Keith bustles off to Tiefeshorn where it will take up banking loco/Hilflok duties - wet and c...

Me again! My camera wagon, for on train filming, is a fairly knackered chassis scavenged off a defunct brake van. The camera (iPhone) is attached to it using a tripod mount. I’m going to replace the wagon - any ideas or solutions for making it less bouncy? Full line inspection following Storm Gerrit...

Happy New Year to all Soaking wet here on the FeckHallBahn but I did manage to run a few trains. I’ve got quite a few gaps where the plastic sleepers have pulled free from their rails and in places where secondhand track had more rail than sleepers. I want to replace them with wooden sleepers (I hav...

https://youtu.be/bFVBVa9f3c8 Totally gobsmacked by the cost of commercially available 45mm gauge rolling roads I decided to build my own. Everything I needed was already to hand so all it’s cost me is time. Built using an off-cut of plywood, Meccano and some rollers I already had. The Bach Chorale I...

I’ll do what I can! Retired from playing now but still got a load of videos I made in 2020

It is! There are four dotted around the garden - all completely clapped out with vital parts missing. The one nearest the railway (at E Flat Corner) is actually a tenor cor - a short lived right handed instrument with a backwards facing bell that was intended to replace tenor horns in brass bands. T...

Thank you.

Hi Hoping someone can help. In the latest magazine Tag G mentions swapping a weep safety valve for a pop one. I’ve just got a Roundhouse Billy (really love it) that blows off constantly no matter how low I turn the gas. It starts at about 30 psi; where can I get a pop replacement? Thanks in advance!...

That looks great! How do I order?

Workshop Wednesday - 2 Following on from last week where I put together and fitted an air pump to the FeckHallBahn’s Accucraft Caradoc 0-4-0, Loch Crinan, this week I fit her and her dedicated coach with brake pipes (yes, I know they’re vac pipes..!). Narrated video. Rik Bennett’s suggestion althoug...

My voiceovers can never match up to yours!! Although you do (in my head) narrate the stories…

I do use it pretty much every day. As a pro horn player I used to practise between 1 & 4 hours a day; now I’m retired I have to do something with that time!! The FeckHallBahn fills the gap nicely.

Sunny Sunday Steam https://youtu.be/1_ojPAc9M2I A round trip from Hornundtrompetebahnhof to Kirschbaumimwaldbahnhof and back with 0-4-2ST Polly hauling a mixed freight & mail train (5T+5T+2T4cwt = 17T4cwt). Driver Emmanuel Rio. Filmed from various lineside locations on a glorious October morning.

Cheers Phil. That’s what I thought but good to have it confirmed.
I plan to do a fair amount of my learning my way around this one with it up on blocks!!
