Wallingford Industrial Rail Ltd - 5 January 2024 - live steam at Pit Head Halt
Posted: Sat Jan 06, 2024 10:31 am
A chilly afternoon to start live steam operations - but nothing ventured etc. etc.
Billy tries out the new Pit Head Halt station road, run round, siding, and head shunt, before powering through the station with the afternoon express.
Of course I have saved the out takes etc. which explain why this is a short video and Bulldog Jordan had to rescue the carriages to return to the shed when Billy ran out of steam (and the operator enthusiasm for bending down to rerail the carriages)!
More work to do on the couplings and buffers to enable reverse movements. And better control of the radio control to make movements more controlled
