Another superb performance Rik, and I absolutely love the signals! All your work on getting the bounce you wanted has really paid off. Thank you for sharing, and inspiring me - watch out for imitation when I’m back from holidays!
Great video Rik, I agree with your thoughts on filming and storyline, when I film the GCLR, I film what I see, and what is running, the story gets built around those bits of rims as its gets strung together.
I love Rik's world. Great quirky sense of humour. And I really like the signal bounce action. I say old chap it's a jolly spiffing show! Marvellous every time 😃👍
Thanks for the video, I always look forward to them. You've. made me look at putting in more industries on my line. Mine does, coal, timber, beer 🍻 , and vegetables, only. Hmm, what to add. Regards, the traffic manager, Kenton Valley Railway. 😊
@@peterfranks5031 Thanks Peter. A quarry is good - full wagons out, empties and fuel in; as is a sawmill. Or you could invent an industry - eg making widgets. I'm thinking of adding a dairy (as was at the end of the Southwold). I did think of including a brickworks (there was one within a few miles of my line's mythical location) and maybe a cheese factory (again one nearby). Trouble is, I'm running out of possible locations.....🤔😁
Your line is still one of the nicest (that's still around), shame that 45mm isn't as popular. Although its useful having locos that can be re-gauged (like my own Friog Punch)
Great video story Rik. As always fun and informative to watch. As others have noted the upgraded signals are a treat to watch, Can we assume Freight Manager played a key role in assigning the schedule for the Special?🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@ianwm Hi Ian. The Freight manager suggested quite a few coal wagons needed delivery, but I added a few more to justify the Special. A bit of modellers' licence. 🤔😉
That was some marvellous work, Rik. Always a pleasure to see the PLR at work. I was meaning to ask, how does the returning coal empty get back to the junction from the copper mine? I'm guessing it comes back on a copper ore run and is detached before the rest of the train is shoved off to the transfer sidings? Secondly, why not have the coal wagon tied on to the empty skips at Beeston?
@@SilverGear_ Hi. Yes, the empty will return with the loaded skips. The simple answer to your second question is that it made for an interesting bit of shunting. Originally, I was going to leave two wagons in the coal siding at Bulkeley and the Down ore would pick it up as it passed through. However, the Down ore coincided with the special at Bulkeley and so it seemed opportune.The reason the coal wagon wasn't left at Beeston Market is that it would have involved even more shunting.
My kind of railway - lots of revenue generating action. Always a pleasure, Rik!

Yes, the action of the signals was worth the effort! Really helps in yet another small way to bring the railway to life.

A new video from the PLR is always a highlight of the day 😀
Thanks Rik for yet another “must watch” from the PLR. A relaxing way to spend some ‘me’ time 👍👍
Another wonderful episode, I could watch this stuff all day. Thanks Rik.
A new PLR video: Ideal to begin the week-end 🙂

Great stuff Rik.
Utterly delightful. Thank you.

You turned off cimments on your non train video.
I really enjoy your videos. But you lost this suscriber.
Shameful.
Really? I'm surprised. It's entirely your own subjective interpretation of what already existed.
