@SDD3204 it was a pleasure! I was operating the coal tipper and chain shunt for most of this session. They're going to be at Ipswich with it this weekend; I'll hopefully come see them get some more video.

I first saw this layout years ago, probably in the mid 90's, and was captivated by it then as now - Glad to see it is still with us!

Indeed it is. Currently undergoing a rewire to fix those issues you see in the video, and potentially future proof it for another generation. Your next chance to see it will be at Ipswich in November.

I stumbled upon the Mauch Chunk website years ago and have always found this model railway fascinating. Great to see it going strong years later. Cheers to the lads who made it possible. The CNJ in the UK at Warley, it doesn't get more unique than that.
