Very nice. Ideal garden-railway scenery and train, and good driving too.

Great video Chris. I love seeing your videos, you somehow capture the right atmosphere. The sounds of a steam loco can't be beat for me. Brilliant.

I don't usually repost a members video, but this is that good, well it's a shame not too.

Thanks for the kind words Rod - and thank you for re-posting the video. I have either forgotten or have never known how to embed it like that :?
Cheers

Thanks Tom - so here, just to practice, is a film of Jack at the OLR that I made in 2010. I am afraid the quality is poor and it was before I learned to use a bean bag for the camera. If you do take a look you will see that the railway 9and the loco) has changed a lot!
Cheers

That works Chris and what a difference the Slomo makes in that loco.

I enjoyed the videos of the Overcombe light railway and I'm wondering if it is possible to see a track plan?
There is a possibility that I may be building another garden railway in the future, it would be another quarry and it would be all on a level patio.
I would like a very convoluted track plan this time to make the most of the available space, hence my interest in the Overcombe.

A beautiful garden and railway. I really enjoyed the different scenes you managed in the video.
