This is most finest narrow railway I have seen, thank you.

[@georgerobertson2387]

absolutely brilliant love that section with the loch in the background I'm sure I have fly fished there magic!

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!

I love your layout and enjoy watching your operations.

[@EricAlainDufresne]

Love the layout. Great work.

[@wernersievers3153]

das habt ihr sehr gut gemacht !

[@denisparker4916]

Are there any vids on how Ted built this layout

[@tedpolet5431]

Thank you, all, for your kind replies.

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.

[@tedpolet5431]

+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.

Hi Ted if you ever sell this layout please jet me know. he he 😺

[@jappedut9009]

How much driving time do you have between the stations ?

[@tedpolet5431]

Station to station time is a few minutes. Length of run between main stations is 15 metres - over 1 kilometre in the real world.

[@PapaZooch709]

what type of engine is Robert the bruce?

[@tedpolet5431]

Robert the Bruce is a freelance model loosely based on British Colonial prototypes. Hence the cowcatchers and the big headlights.

[@PapaZooch709]

Ted Polet I meant like, his engine configuration number. like 2-4-0.

[@tedpolet5431]

Ah, now I understand. Originally it was built like a 2-6-4T, later altered to a 2-6-2T which looks better.

[@PapaZooch709]

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!

[@tedpolet5431]

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.
