As the owner of Hazelcombe I'm grateful for your filming. It wasn't my best outing as i had damaged some track where it joins. I've also noticed the lighting is quite poor so I shall be fixing / addressing a lot of these issues. But thanks for sharing.
Hi Nic, Sorry to hear about your problems on the day of my filming. Hope you can find the time to sort everything out. Thoroughly enjoyed your layout. 👍👍
I thought it was a charming railway. Haven’t seen it but the lighting from the video seemed pretty even and not intrusive. Nice details and a polet/ Hancock vibe.
@@jbrailways Yes, in fact, very impressive. Layouts as well as the video(s) itself. The only downside is that I wasn't able to visit that show. Cheers Dirk8
Some wonderful scenic work, but why so many failures to couple first time. More to the point, why keep setting back and continuously ramming the train? A far more elegant solution would be to accept choppers are unreliable and either use a fine shunting pole to assist or, if you really must have remote operation, change to Kadees or similar? Too much shunting at mach speed!
When you talk about choppers, are you referring to magnets on/under the track, or is that something different? Is a fine shunting pole just the stick you’d use to uncouple? I’m just working on understanding as an American, thanks! I’ve seen more magnets lately, but I feel like the main way I see in American model railroads is to use a wooden skewer stick to poke between the couplers and twist. It feels like the “hand of God” idea has been a bit of a taboo, or a thing to stay away from.
Becoming addicted to this guage....
Great modelling....realism.
Many thanks for your comment.
