It’s a mylocosound card, British light diesel and set to Perkins I think.

Workshop Wednesday is, believe it or not, the most popular of my themed films. More views than any other except for shorts and the most interaction. I’m on holiday now so there won’t be any brand new video content before September the 30th. Not of the FeckHallBahn anyway! How many wagons? Gosh - I don’t actually know!!! Something like 60 probably. They need a lot of shuffling…

Very expensive. Two injectors in the end.

On the plus side we got well off the motorway into the approach road of one of those ‘Works Unit Only’ things and I had a grandstand view of the site of Garstang troughs. All passenger units except for a single Colas 70 headed north. Saw the Tesco train as we were getting towards Penrith (after parting with £££) but didn’t see what was pulling it.

@@FeckHallBahn Gosh, thats not good on the banky balance as Stanly Unsworth used to say No-one wants to break down, but Garstang, is not the worst place

@mrowl-the-dsm1304 Wasn’t too bad really. A couple of Northern units (probably late) but mostly Pendos. And a double length Super Voyager in First livery; didn’t know they ran them!!

@@FeckHallBahn Some of them have already gone back to XC , one is with Grand central, Avanti West Coast ( First) have got these Bi mode units,

My wife and I first met in the (orchestra) pit for a centenary performance of Ruddygore in 1987. We ended up in the pit with each other again in 1990 - Iolanthe - and have been together since then! We’ve even managed to weather 5 Ring Cycles together…

Rescue here. No. 2 injector failed. Getting a new one in at a close ish garage. Another £700; bloody thing has had a new clutch and rear door lock in the last month. If only it was steam.

Good to hear you are getting fixed. But the steam solution getting more tricky by the day as they shut down the steam coal plants. Have a fun tour once you are up and running again🎉🎉🎉🎉

Slowed down to half speed to get that Stanieresque hoot!

Some of them but none of the ones in this; they’re all painted by David. I’ve got several to do/touch up over the winter.

Alfred, one of David Clavey’s fantastic figures. Co-driver/stoker is Zoë.

The camera is an iPhone so probably not. The problem is the electronics; in the loco and in the handset. The onboard servos would likely be fine but, having destroyed one already, I know that the handsets don’t survive torrential rain.

It’s not _quite_ as bumpy as it seems on the video but definitely not as smooth as I’d like! Baskerville has one slightly wonky wheel due to my incompetence with a parallel reamer but, much to my surprise, my botch hasn’t affected its ability to stay on the rails. The main problem with this video is that the phone unbalanced things which made the loco pull wheelies, particularly over points. To answer your question, I get surprisingly few derailments. Facing points with a change of direction are the danger zones so there’s a strict speed limit through them

On reflection, it’s Scooter. Pstan gets up on the kitchen counter and table although she knows it’s wrong!

Great operation you had going today. How did you create the worksheet? Lots of interest in the defined movements. Good job🎉🎉🎉🎉

@ianwm Did it in the notes app on my phone in dark mode and then took a screenshot. Even more than that! I actually did it BEFORE I made the film!!

That’s very kind, thank you!

There were surprisingly few mishaps!! I cheat though; iPhone as camera on a tripod controlled remotely by my Apple Watch which gives a live view of what the phone is seeing. I also edit out the hand of God…

Tough question!! Probably the first one I built myself, Smoll. The little blue one.

FeckHallBahn specific but based on stories my dad told me about what used to happen on the Lickey Incline (a few miles from me) in the 50s. Certainly the Lickey bankers & brakers were never coupled to their trains.

Thank you, hugely appreciated.

Thank you, hugely appreciated.

Thank you, hugely appreciated.

I think I must have overdone it with the steam oil in the running in phase. When I took it to bits it was full of oil.

@@FeckHallBahn Strange. I was assuming it had just burnt out like they do if theyre trying to travel further than they are allowed to.🤔

@@FeckHallBahn If its sitting on the footplate you might have to raise it up a bit so its not sitting in any oil.

It’s underneath. Completely seized which is ironic considering how much oil was inside it! I’ll give you one guess as to what the next Workshop Wednesday will bring…

@@FeckHallBahn Ehhm let me think🤔😁

Co-driver was actually driving & watching the line ahead but she’s quite short; very rare to have a bv on this sort of train even in real life. No chance of a head on collision; I run a block system. The feather must have got blown on during the trip! There’s a collared dove’s nest in the cherry tree & there are always feathers knocking around. This one is down; really fluffy.

I tried to fit Polly & Loch Caradoc with whistles but there isn’t enough room. They both have inside Stephenson link valve gear plus, in Loch C’s case, the battery pack in the ashpan. Polly has the reverser servo in her ashpan. Yes, it’s very North Eastern isn’t it?

He might have been trying to see if the camera could pick up the Doppler effect…

We’ll be back!

Even if you don’t have a garden there are some fantastic micro layouts in window boxes and so forth. Same scale as this one. Look for John Rogers on Facebook. He’s done some amazing work.
