DVLR visits the PLR
DVLR visits the PLR
A video marking the visitation to the Peckforton Light Railway of locos and stock from the Deben Valley Railway.
The first time in its history that a live steam loco has graced the metals of the PLR - the video marks this occasion.

Many thanks to Zach for navigating to this remote corner of Cheshire and for braving the almost continuous rain to make it happen

Thanks again Rik for a really enjoyable (if slightly damp) day! The line's gradients make it an interesting drive and the end to end operation is great. River Tang's small gas tank was just large enough to get from one end to the other and the fire had to be turned up for tackling the bank! A proper "driver's line". I was concentrating so hard driving I didn't get any video footage, I've got a few pics which I'll pop up here in a bit.
Brian - the disks are copper and you can buy 100 of them for a pound if you don't mind a bit of filing...
Brass shim and wire soldered onto the back and painted they are exactly the correct scale diameter for 15" GER head code disks.
