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.

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.

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
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.

New Longton, not far from Hutton, remember it well, I lived at the bottom of Pemwortham Hill, just over the river.
Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
You may be humble Rik but please have no doubt that you have a natural knack and a special gift for story-telling while at the same time educating all who read and listen to any of the many subjects that make up this wonderful hobby of ours. Please never stop.

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
I've finally caught up with all your videos Rik - fantastic work! I think you've really found an excellent balance in your tone and language too - your infectious enthusiasm is readily apparent, without you ever taking it too seriously... I look forward to the next instalment!
Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
You'll no doubt be relieved to hear (for all sorts of reasons), that the last episode of my PLR history series is now available.
Of course, there's always next year ....

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Excellent production again Rik, easy watching and listening to your smooth and relaxed voice. This has been an interesting series and reminds us of our own path into garden railway modelling. I hope new starters will appreciate the time and effort which goes into making such a wonderful railway as yours and use new technology to continue to improve our hobby.
Thank you for the guest appearance of the BURPS, I haven't seen it like that for months during the winter season so that has inspired me too!

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
DITTO.
So what are the next plans for the PLR? Seems you have enough industries. Any possibility of creating more space in the garden?
BTW, I don't think you covered your river construction in the videos. Or did I just miss it?

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Hi Greg
Not entirely sure what I'll do next. I need to consolidate what I've done so far and I do need to add some fine detailing in places, eg around the engine shed. Also, Bickerton Station hasn't had much attention. I'd like to enlarge it but space is very tight there.
No, I decided not to include the river construction. There are quite a few things I missed out - eg converting locos to battery, adding sound cards and adding other goods stock. I wanted to try and keep each episode to ten minutes or so ....

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Graeme, but I think I've prevailed upon the goodwill of my YouTube audience a bit too much lately. Though I might do a summary of the the previous year's progress from now at the start of each new year.

Prevail away my good man; everyone loves a "how I did it" video or is that just me.

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Not the most exciting video, but a quick tour of the latest version of my computerised freight management system. This one uses Google Sheets - reason being I wanted something which I could run on my phone or tablet out in the garden as well as on my laptop. It's online meaning they synchronise, so any changes on one device are replicated on the others. More importantly, it's free!
It's not the prettiest of user interfaces, but it does the job - and (I might have already mentioned this), it's free - providing you don't mind selling your soul to Google.
Anyhow, y'ere tis .....

No, not yet. It'll be a few days. There's quite a bit to describe.

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Very interesting Rik I might give it a go, just not sure about writing 'scripts' I have always struggled with computer/micro-controller programming.
Will wait to see what is on the blog
