  • My friends Keith and Dave came to visit and we had some running sessions and some laughs. The railway is now four years old this month.

    Amazing work and dedication, Ian! It's a pleasure to watch The Ivy Railway in action. It was also a pleasure to meet you at the West Wales Model Railway Exhibition last weekend.

    Its amazing because it looks as if its been there forever!
    Your new creation is great..... Obviously very comfy! And love the windows....Those views are stunning!

    Lovely tour. Thank you. What a bit of work you've completed! Ivy Rwy definitely has an old-world charm along with a playful wink. If you decide to work on your 5" gauge, I hope you can film some more of that as well. Blessings!

    Loved the nonsence as well as the train running. Was interesting to hear that you have slate in the ground. I presume that helps keep the hillside stable. The area in which I live (in New Zealand) has no rock in the hills - it's all clay - so in heavy rain slips/mudslides are common.

    • @Elvinley
      @Elvinley  4 місяці тому +1

      Glad you enjoyed the vid! I'm sure the slate and rocks do help keep things stable. You do have landslides and movement occasionally in this area but I have been lucky so far.

    All you need now is a few signal boxes down the line and you can run an intense service 😂

    Thanks, that was a great summary tour. Love your friends. I never suggested going up the roadway. I was suggesting getting permission from the folks across the roadway to carry on down their drive and find a place to loop around down there. Does not look like a bust roadway and bet you could imbed your track into the short expanse of asphalt ? Or maybe you could start tunneling into your hillside and make a Mine Ride...ha Collin First(sp) could help ya!

    • @Elvinley
      @Elvinley  4 місяці тому

      Others have suggested it though! I think it would be illegal to plant a railway line through a public road so I'm not going to attempt it! A mine would be very fun but scary!

    Another enjoyable video, you've certainly put a lot of time and effort into creating your railway. It looks great. On another subject, have you seen my grandson's first video documenting his 009 layout. He's recently uploaded it, and he's talking about the buildings he's making on it ... Cheers James 🙂👍

    Ian. That past accident 12:02 was totally preventable. You have "Dead Slow" signs posted everywhere. How could something like that happen? Perhaps it is time to publish a time table. Will you honor a transfer ticket from the steam railway? Mike

      It was my fault for telling him to go faster to get up the gradient. He was leaning back a lot though! Since then the gradient has been eased and the loco has been improved.
