I really enjoyed that, thank you!
That's a fantastic collection of locos and stock you've built yourself, lots of unusual camera angles too.
I just glimpsed a green van at the head of the train in the last shot which made me think that a "B scale" 4 wheeled PMV would look great on your line...
Andrew.
PS That tune's in my head now!

Two things:
1 TOY trains they are not!
2) I'm about to dump all my narrow gauge stuff and relay the entire layout in standard gauge!!

Well you were looking for a project...

Thank you.
The green van is Newqida (German design?) mildly chopped about and painted SR green in a lame attempt to ‘PMV’ it. But it appears too big in relation to my other stuff, so can only be photographed from the angle you see... I was about to put it on that auction site — anybody want it?
Now that Andrew, Jimmyb and Philipy have responded so graciously, I must shamefully admit that my description, above, of the video was not strictly accurate.
I’m afraid it was a hilarious ploy suggesting, say, Holst and delightful pastoral scenes but delivering the head-banging attack of Daizy and the intended-to-be-frenetic*, new trailer.
Thank you for your indulgence.

Thank you — but I couldn’t possibly claim to be working to any ‘scale’ — and one of the shots in the video is Playmobil! Anyway, I’ve long since registered the domain name.
