Brilliant video and I love the railway. Just wondering, what chassis do you use underneath the Leek & Manifold 2-6-4T. I'm thinking of doing one myself and would like to know how to make a chassis that brilliant. Thanks. Thomas.
+5786Thomas Apologies for my late reply - I do not log in very often and just saw your query of last year. The chassis was made from an etched Backwoods Miniatures chassis kit that I severely hacked about. The cranks were supplied by a friend who makes them with a laser cutter, and the valve gear is by RT Models. There is a whole topic about it on the NGRM-online forum, on which you have to register.
Ted Polet thanks ted! I plan on building a 009 layout sometime in the future, and I'm gather information on layouts and engines. the C&DR looks amazing!
Thanks - remember this is a large 009 locomotive, built using an old Arnold N gauge chassis and a Triang TT 'Jinty' body, from the 1960s. Most 009 models are smaller than this. Good luck with your layout plans - you might consider joining the 009 Society.
This is most finest narrow railway I have seen, thank you.
Wonderful display of fine detail and smooth operation of locos.
Awesome layout!! Very tranquil feel to it. I love the boat too! :-)
Pleasurable, enjoyable, captivating.
I am starting a 009 layout, and I am taking lots of inspiration from your C+DR. I really like your paint schemes and they look great on your engines
+Sir_Fedora - more than minecraft!
Thank you - good luck with your new layout. I would consider joining the 009 Society!
absolutely brilliant love that section with the loch in the background I'm sure I have fly fished there magic!
I love your layout and enjoy watching your operations.
Are there any vids on how Ted built this layout
Love the layout. Great work.
Thank you, all, for your kind replies.
How much driving time do you have between the stations ?
Station to station time is a few minutes. Length of run between main stations is 15 metres - over 1 kilometre in the real world.

das habt ihr sehr gut gemacht !
Hi Ted if you ever sell this layout please jet me know. he he 😺
what type of engine is Robert the bruce?
Robert the Bruce is a freelance model loosely based on British Colonial prototypes. Hence the cowcatchers and the big headlights.
Ted Polet I meant like, his engine configuration number. like 2-4-0.
Ah, now I understand. Originally it was built like a 2-6-4T, later altered to a 2-6-2T which looks better.
