(WH)WHR - screen debut!
Hello!
I had a day off work yesterday, the first opportunity I've had to use the railway for months, soI took myself out into the garden and raised steam - only to find that the batteries were flat on my Accucraft Baldwin.
Margaret, my trusty RH "Little John" came to the rescue, trundling up and down with a short goods. I took some video clips while I was at it, which I've now done some basic editing on - it's the first time I've either filmed or edited, but I think the results are OK. Well, OK if you ignore some slightly dodgy running - I always thought I managed relatively sensible speeds, but the evidence of some of these clips suggests otherwise! I'll be more careful next time I film...
Anyway, I hope you like it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JW1xNe38iWc
Cheers,
Andrew.

Thanks for the kind words!
No, the Little John will run beautifully slowly, although it will accelerate wickedly quickly too! I think some of the the fast bits are due to over-nippy acceleration, and others are because what looks like a nice slow speed from above looks quicker from the camera, particularly when the train nears the camera. Next time...

Andrew

Andrew,
I have to agree with Peter, it's all looking very settled into the landscape now. It's really encouraging to see how quickly this has happened. Youve come miles since your first posts about the line.
You wood lice seem to like living dangerously - I should have a word with them about appointing a lookout!

"Smith! Why do you only come to work four days a week?
"'cause I can't manage on three gaffer!"

I may have to make them hi-vis vests... I rather like woodlice, which is just as well because they seem to be the dominant species in our back garden - they've taken to climbing up the apple tree and making nice little homes for themselves in the fruit...Soar Valley Light:113898 wrote:You wood lice seem to like living dangerously - I should have a word with them about appointing a lookout!
