Garden Railway Forum

Thanks folks. Now working on Part 2. Rain forecast for tomorrow, so might be a good time to bury myself with the laptop ....

Rik

Probably a bit self-indulgent - but here's Part 2 of the continuing saga ..



I hope you enjoy this one

Rik

The first one was good but this one was great! Although I have expectations of what to see in part three I am excited at the prospect. Very well done Rik.

Thanks Peter.
I was worried that P2 would be a bit samey ......

Rik

Nothing "samey" at all --- not only am I now waiting (impatiently ) for Part 3 but also for Parts 4, 5, 6, etc.

'SO COME UP TO THE LAB AND SEE WHAT’S ON THE SLAB. I SEE YOU SHIVER WITH ANTICI…PATION'

Eagerly awaiting part 3.

Eagerly awaiting part 3.

Rocky Horror Picture Show? (I'm afraid I had to Google it).

I hope it lives up to expectations .....

Another very enjoyable and informative video Rik.

Thanks Rod
Guess what - just when you thought it was all over, here's episode 3.......




..... I promise no one will be tested on it afterwards.

Oh Rik, you are a tease!!!
Superb production and in so little time, well done yet again. These are probably the best garden railway videos available, they can be useful to all levels of modellers, not putting off new starters yet showing what can be achieved with experience. More please, it's still only 10.45pm.

Without wishing to sound derivative, I'd like to echo that statement.

Thanks chaps. You might regret giving me this sort of encouragement ....

Keep them coming Rik.

I am now in a COVID (UK strain) lockdown (masks compulsory etc) for the next 3 days or maybe longer so this is a sanity break.

Thank you Rik for another brilliant video. Your history is well worth watching and informative for new and old modellers of 16mm. I just wish Anne and I could visit one day, your'e not to far from us here in New Longton.

New Longton, not far from Hutton, remember it well, I lived at the bottom of Pemwortham Hill, just over the river.

You may be humble Rik but please have no doubt that you have a natural knack and a special gift for story-telling while at the same time educating all who read and listen to any of the many subjects that make up this wonderful hobby of ours. Please never stop.

I've finally caught up with all your videos Rik - fantastic work! I think you've really found an excellent balance in your tone and language too - your infectious enthusiasm is readily apparent, without you ever taking it too seriously... I look forward to the next instalment!

You'll no doubt be relieved to hear (for all sorts of reasons), that the last episode of my PLR history series is now available.



Of course, there's always next year ....

Rik

Excellent production again Rik, easy watching and listening to your smooth and relaxed voice. This has been an interesting series and reminds us of our own path into garden railway modelling. I hope new starters will appreciate the time and effort which goes into making such a wonderful railway as yours and use new technology to continue to improve our hobby.
Thank you for the guest appearance of the BURPS, I haven't seen it like that for months during the winter season so that has inspired me too!

A fine series of videos Rik, well done.
