[@rayman4449]

That is very impressive and very well built!!!! Nice work Phill!

Thanks Raymond. I am very pleased with it. After one winter when I came to test it again it all appeared level and true which is what I was hoping from using the stainless steel to support the track.

Nice helix! This looks like the beginning of something amazing!

[@rosspeacock2956]

Love that. Run well those Darstaed bogies 👍😂

They do Ross! Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) no one was filming when I put the rake of seven coaches with recently freed-up and very free-running wheel sets at the top and gave them a gentle push.... the state of panic in which I frantically brought them to a halt down the other end of the garden was hilarious to behold apparently! They must have been doing a scale 200mph... 😂

I watched it backwards , your throwing ability is legendary and the bogie defies gravity! Great work mate!

Very nice Philip, how was it all built and how do you get into the middle to mow the lawn? 🤔🤔🤔😊👍

[@fildowns]

with difficulty is the answer to the lawn mowing! Construction will be covered in part one of the 'Building Filverstone' video which I'm working on...

Hi Phil, Are you the same person who used to fit DCC decoders to Lima trains and lived in Milton Keynes a few years ago? John

[@fildowns]

Hi John yes that's me. I found all our correspondence from 2013-16 and sent you an email...not much good if you don't have your old gmail address though, in which case come back on here.
