A brief history of the Peckforton Light Railway - Part 1
Hopefully, I have sorted out the problems with the video soundtrack drowning out the commentary - let me know if not ...... :?




I hope you like it.

Part 2 to follow as time permits ....

Just wonderful Rik. Story factual and entertaining, images timed perfectly to coincide with the information, sound level perfect. Can't wait for number two!

Ditto's all around along with Peter. Very envious of how easy you seem to make videos not only come together but constantly improve. Waiting for Part 2 with baited breath. ;) :D

Thanks folks. Now working on Part 2. Rain forecast for tomorrow, so might be a good time to bury myself with the laptop ....

Probably a bit self-indulgent - but here's Part 2 of the continuing saga ..



I hope you enjoy this one

The first one was good but this one was great! Although I have expectations of what to see in part three I am excited at the prospect. Very well done Rik.

Nothing "samey" at all --- not only am I now waiting (impatiently :roll: ) for Part 3 but also for Parts 4, 5, 6, etc.

I hope it lives up to expectations ..... 😳

Oh Rik, you are a tease!!!
Superb production and in so little time, well done yet again. These are probably the best garden railway videos available, they can be useful to all levels of modellers, not putting off new starters yet showing what can be achieved with experience. More please, it's still only 10.45pm.

Without wishing to sound derivative, I'd like to echo that statement. :thumbright:

Keep them coming Rik.

I am now in a COVID (UK strain) lockdown (masks compulsory etc) for the next 3 days or maybe longer so this is a sanity break.

Thank you Rik for another brilliant video. Your history is well worth watching and informative for new and old modellers of 16mm. I just wish Anne and I could visit one day, your'e not to far from us here in New Longton.
