Peckforton Light Railway - Onboard Goods

[@KellinoRail]

It's always a good day when there is a new Peckforton Light Railway video! 😎

[@YsanneOshea]

PLR is my favourite KZbin garden railway. It seems to define 'quaint' in a unique and magical way. Superby enjoyable and a real credit to its creator. Thank you!

[@LindseyTate13]

Your videos are very soothing.

[@andyrbush]

So true

Cheers Rik, great to see Tiverton out and about again 👍

[@rikbennett9]

@@CustomiZe_ Yes, she does run well (trusty old LGB Stainz motor block!). One day, I might get around to replacing its Dallee V3 soundcard which has chuffs which increase in stepped stages rather than a continuous rise in speed.

Love your train journeys, they take me right into your miniature world.

Great I enjoyed the journey

Until now, I hadn't noticed the various 'sleights of hand' you've used in the layout to extend the length of the trip from one end of the railway to the other-good editing of your videos to create the sense that it's as long as you've imagined! But it's also interesting to see the way you've achieved that with clever use of the space. Love the railway you've created, thanks for all the work you put in to share it!

[@rikbennett9]

@@monkeyvampire Thanks Chris. I like your expression - sleights of hand - as an explanation. You might find that cropping up in a future voice-over. I well remember being impressed with an 00 or it might have been an EM gauge layout in Railway Modeller in the 1960s which had two termini inside a circuit and the trains did several circuits to simulate the length of the track between the termini. It was partly luck and partly planning which allowed me to re-use parts of the layout to simulate the geography of the area around my railway.

Cheers Rik, feeling a bit famous after watching part 2!

[@PaulNicoll-b8c]

I'm sorry to say it again but, you need a treelopper. May I suggest something based on the IOM railway closed van MNR 12 which has a drop-down platform ladders and a stove pipe?

[@ianwm]

Excellent video Rik. Very enjoyable. L9ve the shunting opeations - freight manager gave you some juggling to do!😂😂😂😂

[@rikbennett9]

@@ianwm very much so, though I admit to anticipating in advance which wagons would need shunting where when I formed the train at Beeston Market

[@ianwm]

@@rikbennett9 I am still practicing with FMngr at WIRL. Since I downloaded it earlier in the year, the roster has grown a bit, and some new features have appeared in the PWD. Hopefully the next video will show some new track and sidings, t be followed by some shunting….

In some of the scenes through the garden foliage it is hard to realise this isn’t 12” to the foot !

[@rikbennett9]

@@MrSteamDragon Thanks. I am very pleased with how some sections of the line have evolved over time.

[@JayTheFox99]

What's the height of the nameplates and numberplates you use for the locomotives?

[@rikbennett9]

@@JayTheFox99 Hi Jay. The plates are 6mm in height with 3.7mm high lettering on the 3D printed plates.
