Another look at The Crowfoot Light Railway before the leaves carpet the garden for a few weeks.

Hope it works.

That is very nice Andy, thanks for sharing.
Wish my line looked as neat and tidy as that, but the soggy leaves and apple bombs started decending on it a couple of weeks ago!

You certainly make great use of the space available to you. Every time I see clips of your line I think to myself, "That's a good idea, I must try and incorporate something like that".
So thanks for the inspiration again and thanks for sharing this latest clip.

Because of my dog I have to put away most of my scenic bits and pieces. I enjoy setting it up each time but it does take up to 2 hours to get everything out. This doesn't include the additional time beforehand for weeding, hoeing and trimming.
I have chopped out 3 large bamboo plants and have opened up the raised flower bed above the wall alongside Bramley Bank. This allows more sun to the railway which unfortunately showed up the dust in my camera as the clockwise train passed through Bramley Bank Station in the video.
I got rid of the Bramley apple tree that gave Bramley Bank it's name so no apple bombs. It used to be surrounded by the decking and made a hell of a racket any time of day or night when the fruit fell.

Thank you for your kind comments.

If you find yourself at a loss on 15th May 2016 I've got this date pencilled in for my next 16mm Ass. open day.
Of course I will mention this more widely once confirmed.

I did wonder what your setting up time was, so thanks for that.

As for removing apple trees, my line runs under 9 Apple, a Cherry, 2 Plum, 4 Ash and an Elder, plus assorted shrubs, so no chance of removing that lot, I just have to put up with it.
