I rate this railway ( for that is what it is, not a model railway layout) up with the Craig and Mertonford and the Buckingham branch Lovely video. Seasons greetings to you Ted
Thanks, all, for your replies and good wishes. I am glad this video gave you some pleasure in this grim and dismal December of 2020, the worst in human recollection, with nothing but bad news in the media. Don't let yourself be worn down, and let us hope things will improve next year and the world will return to some sort of normalcy. The next CDR video will be published tonight, and I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Take care, stay safe and try to enjoy life!
I remember seeing a similar George England loco in that yellow with a smoke unit, at one of the model shows in Wigan around 10 years ago or even longer? And I remember being allowed to operate the trains, I don't know if its you or not though?
@@tedpolet5431 That is, by far, the best and most imaginative use of a Playcraft body I have ever seen. As well as that the whole model is absolutely brilliant!
@@alangordon7508 thanks - the chassis is a little noisy, and the rigid wheelbase not the easiest to make it work, but it seems it does the job! The Roco chassis was fitted with dummy outside frames and cranks glued on to the wheel faces.
The 'buttons' are painted washers with a destination code for each wagon. They determine the traffic flow on the layout. The idea was borrowed from John Allen's Gorre & Daphetid RR.
@@soedetonator No - uncoupling is always by hand. I lift the wagon at one end, or in case of a bogie vehicle with the coupling attached to the bogie, I lift the coupling with a hook or a screwdriver.

Lovely video. Seasons greetings to you Ted
Nineteen minutes of sunshine in a rainy, ugly afternoon here in Northwestern Italy!!! Thank you.
Watching the railroad activity really relaxes me😎. Thank you for displaying your excellent artistic skills so many can enjoy!
Marvellous! We've not seen the C&D for a long time and it has been sorely missed.
Thank you Ted - and Happy Christmas.
Noel
Always great to see something from the C&D! Cheers!

Really enjoyed the running session the layout is great the detail is spot on 😀👍
Can't wait for the next episode. Great stuff.
Coming within a few days - I have been distracted by 0 gauge tinplate...
We love to see it! Always a good watch.
Very nice, have subscribed to the channel

Yes, I was at the Wigan show in 2011. I remember there was a young chap named Ben who assisted me for quite a long time. Was that you?
Or perhaps there were a few more people who handled the controls at the time. I forgot...
@@tedpolet5431 It certainly was me!
@@SteamLance That's good to hear! I hope you have become interested in narrow gauge modelling!
@@tedpolet5431 For me its Lego railway modelling! I have a GVT design which will be built next year.
Wonderful, did I spot a, beautifully, modified Playcraft HO Shunter working there?
Yes, it is a Playcraft body shell on a Roco chassis. Well spotted!

What are the buttons for on some of the wagons please?
The 'buttons' are painted washers with a destination code for each wagon. They determine the traffic flow on the layout. The idea was borrowed from John Allen's Gorre & Daphetid RR.
@@tedpolet5431 thanks, do you use automatic uncoupling with the n gauge couplings or by hand?
@@soedetonator No - uncoupling is always by hand. I lift the wagon at one end, or in case of a bogie vehicle with the coupling attached to the bogie, I lift the coupling with a hook or a screwdriver.
hi ted man can sagen dat is eine nice GB modeltrain anlage weiter so
I love Teds railway never get tired of watching it
