Re: Double Heading at Summerlands
Good to hear from you Chris.
I watched the recently posted Hunslet 7/8ths video as well, lovely running with a slight steam leak from the cylinders for atmosphere.
Keep safe.

Enjoyed that Chris.
Cheddar Ivers are great value live steamers, well built and reliable in my experience. They really benefit from the addition of a few extra details like yours.

Welcome back Chris! And thanks for sharing a lovely film...
It's a great combination of locos and stock, and the primroses are looking beautiful. I particularly liked the shot of the train leaving the tunnel at 2:50, and the one at 3:04 where you can really hear both engines working hard...
All the best,
Andrew.

Re: Double Heading at Summerlands
Thanks for the kind words guys! I am very lucky that nature does all the hard work on the railway - all the primroses are self seeded.
It was really difficult to get both locos working hard Andrew as the controls are quite different. The Iver was so sensitive as I needed the steam valve wide open, and the Edrig needed lots of pressure to deal with the Slomo. Nice to know I got it right occasionally - more by luck......

A very enjoyable watch. You have a great garden. No wonder you had to double head with coaches weighing 3kg.
Your camera angles provide such realistic views.

Re: Double Heading at Summerlands
Thanks Greg - and we are very luck with a wonderful garden!
The camera angles are really what my videoing is about. I use a bridge camera on a bean bag for 90% of shots and where elevation is needed, such as in the station shots, I use a paint tin to stand the bean bag on In all of these shots the camera is stationary, so no wobbly hand-held stuff.
