[@johnnyc4867]

I really enjoyed watching this. A lovely railway and very well filmed. Thanks for sharing it.

Nice to hear you Rob! Lovely railway, lots of detail and as you said, believable. If you are visiting the L&B anytime come and say hello to the team on the 16mm garden railway up by the engine shed most Saturdays 😉

Hi Roger, thanks for your kind comments. I've been following the garden railway at Woody Bay with great interest. It's a fantastic additional attraction for the L&B. I hope to visit soon!

Oh this is so addictive.....love the attention to the small scenic details.....

Lovely scenery and rolling stock. I don’t have enough garden space nor a particularly good climate for it here in Canada but I do enjoy building 16mm rolling stock kits and have a “Billy” engine for some future time when I might live somewhere else. Therefore I really enjoy seeing real garden railways. Yours looks much the way I hope mine will someday. My rolling stock is mostly IP engineering, as they until recently were willing to ship to Canada. Oh well, ridiculous hobby for me to have considering where I live. But I do love the garden scenery. I appreciate your realistic curves and roadbed as well as the well placed buildings. Do I detect a hidden flywheel in your goods train? I have one of those as well, it makes my manually controlled Billy behave very well on my temporarily-laid track. I find a blob of marine grease, the kind made for outboard motors, on the gears make it almost silent. Anyway cheers and thanks for the videos. I did enjoy the voice-over.

What a lovely little railroad

[@megapowerchannelsunc]

A great video of a wonderful garden railway with lots of character which holds one's interest.

Cheers from California ! Loved this wonderful episode !

[@GeraldJanes]

Great video Rob, and the addition of the commentary adds to the interest

[@jshawbitter]

God you have nice trackwork everything looks so smooth running around very nice

[@northernutahlivesteam]

The commentary added interest. Usually I’d rather just hear the trains. I was originally captured to see if Sir Topham Hat’s morning stagger would result in a fall, and will we find out if he’s still drunk from the night before. By the time it became apparent we would never know, the Narrator’s golden voice had walked us off to the real story without us even noticing. At the end I was ashamed of my shallowness regarding Sir Topham Hat. Then he came staggering back. He was still drunk and he did fall. Now I want to help him get home before he anyone sees and embarrasses him.

what track do you use as I cant seem to find a good supplier! also do you get all the track bulk or buy it in bits

[@robgolding96]

Peco SM32. It comes ready made.

Hi Rob Thanks for answering my questions about the GRS small quarry Hunslets recently I now have one, very nice little model. I'm wondering if I can also ask you about your track bed and how it's constructed? I take it it's filcris board on top? I'm wondering what it's supported by though, Is there a ladder frame or similar underneath it?

[@robgolding96]

Hi Paul - I have an article I can send you that I wrote for GardenRail magazine if its of interest?

[@paulgalyet5308]

@@robgolding96 I'm sure it would be helpful, thanks again Rob.

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Excellent video. I watched the first part several times and paused on the pictures to look at some of the details. Given I live beside the Pacific Ocean in British Columbia, Canada, I don’t get to see much British rolling stock in the flesh, so to speak. I have been poking around Swift Sixteen’s website and am attracted to some of their kits. I have never seen or handled a Swift Sixteen railcar. Yours look great. I did note some wheel noise. How would you rate them?

[@robgolding96]

Hi Terry, The Swift Sixteen kits are excellent and can be built very quickly. They run very well, I think my axels just need an oil!

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@robgolding96 thanks. Then I shall order some.

[@jonwalmsley7950]

Lovely video as always Rob,inspiring stuff! Can I ask please what make is your headlamp on your Peckett? Looking for something similar for mine, most commercial lamps available seem a little too large for the Peckett.... Many thanks

[@robgolding96]

Hi Jon. Thanks for the kind comments. The lamp is from Brandbright. Thanks!

[@jonwalmsley7950]

Thank you 👍
