Peckforton Light Railway - A Year Up the Line

[@davidmackworth3129]

Great vid, thanks. Watched from the start of your build, only wish there had been more on the actual building of it. For me that’s just as enjoyable. Thanks again.

Absolute Augenweide - pure pleasure to watch!

Good video, like ! ! !

I was shivering in the passenger carriage in the snow and sweltering there in the summer. Such a wonderful dream world you have constructed.

Thanks Andy. Much the same when I was filming those clips ...... 😄

Always love seeing this railway. Wish I got myself sorted to start mine.

this is a fantastic railway!

[@FeckHallBahn]

Absolutely love this. Particularly enjoyed Marchuary!! I think I might pinch the idea for the FeckHallBahn - but it will be a location rather than a trip. Don’t think I can squeeze a year’s worth of along the line from 16 metres of track!!

Awesome video! It took a year to make this video. I don't have the patience. That must be the longest train ride ever.

Hi Rik, At the beginning of September that's a nice view of the Beeston brewery, with its two white towers. Are they lift shafts for raising malt sacks? Do you have an article detailing it's construction? I expect they always do good business with the locals and neighbouring towns 👍😁

[@rikbennett9]

Hi Jim. Yes, they are called lucams - as you say, they are covered hoists to raise sacks of grain, malt and hops to the top floor of the building. At present, I don't have a blog post detailing its construction. I had an article about it published in Garden Rail and so I have to wait at least a couple of years before I can post about it on my blog. That was ages ago, so it's about time I blogged it. If you want a copy of the article PM me on GSC.

@@rikbennett9 Do you recall which GR month that was in? I might have it in my library.
