Re: where am I?
Excellent! Full marks!!
The buffers were a bit of a giveaway as to the railway but I expected it would take slightly longer to bag the loco - given that it's a bit of a one-off. Or maybe that's what made it easier?

where am I?
Having a break for a few days. Snapped this a couple of hours ago. Where was I?

Re: 4Kam - Railcam
Hi Nigel. This looks very much like the one I bought - but now around half the price.

Re: 4Kam - Railcam
Sorry to hear about your bad experience, Nigel. I see you've left feedback on Trust pilot to warn off others. I don't think I've come across such a large clutch of negative reviews. I bought a very cheap (c£10) video camera on eBay quite a few years ago and it was fine for filming onboard videos. Si...

Not tried them myself (yet) but you could use the editing tools built into YouTube

Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway
OK I'm putting a new loco together as hinted to recently. I would like to include all the features I have wanted, but due to my impatience with previous builds have not included. So time for a guessing game! Pic 2.JPG The first fitting. Grant. Whatever it is, it's beautifully engineered. Some sort ...

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Assuming I have 40 goods wagons and a typical train is 8 wagons it looks like there are 76,904,685 different combinations (ie where the position of the wagon in the train doesn't matter) but if we do take account of where the wagons are in the train there are 3,100,796,899,200 different permutation...

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Incidentally, I suggested in the video that I doubted if any of the freight trains in my videos over the years would exactly match the train which was passing by the camera at that moment. Greg and I discussed this during our most recent Skype chat and agreed it was highly unlikely. As a result, I t...

Re: Quarry Hunslet
Just out of interest, are those supports added automatically by the slicer or did you put them in manually?

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Excellent video again Rik, you make it all look so easy, although we know there is much preparation and planning beforehand. Well worth the effort, so thank you for sharing your railway with us. Thanks Peter. I must admit, when the weather is bad, to watching some of my past videos as a substitute ...

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Attention to detail and consideration given to so many aspects of this (the railway, rolling stock, operations, video) is, of course, so impressive. Love the sheep audio! Sheep audio was something that stood out to me as well, as something I wouldn't have thought to add but that gives a lot of ambi...

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Most enjoyable as usual. I do like the wagons of all different heights and widths. One suggestion - maybe a short overhead view of the wagons from your overbridge would show the wagons wandering along too. I have done that in the past. It was a toss-up whether the shot in the cutting near the start...

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Enjoyable as ever. I love how active and busy your line is, something that on your own I think would be really hard to recreate with live steam. During a filming session you must have great fun setting the camera and then flipping between the controllers to get the correct loco. I've enough trouble...

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Is that a wasp hitching a ride @11:34? Additionally, I think the boot @9:13 may need a bit of a clean as it's looking a bit grotty. Well spotted! Yes indeed. I think the wasp was attracted by the orange colour of the wood. I believe they chew the wood to make the material for their nests. I did won...

Hi Nigel
It depends where you ordered it from and how you paid.

Re: Time to build a railway...but where?
I really like Dennis with its side mounted cylinders. Maybe it's just because I've been looking at the Shay thread.

Re: Semi-scale BR: Garratt loaded test run
Another great video. Who'd have thought it would generate a music/sound effects debate? Are you still using your friend's music? I quite like it - folky and original. I do like loco sounds and hardly notice whether they are synched to the wheels. I do have one loco in my fleet which uses a wheel cam...
