I wasn't entirely happy with the cardboard Hunslet loco I constructed earlier this year. Although the lining looked great, the edges of the card were easily scuffed a with only a minimum of handling the loco quickly began to look tatty. And so, I rebuilt it using mostly 3D printed parts. Although, I have lost the lining, I think she looks a lot smarter and will be more durable. Peckforton Light Railway is a 45mm gauge garden railway depicting a three foot narrow gauge railway which might have been constructed along the Peckforton Hills in rural Cheshire UK.

I was there in the brake van having a cup of tea with the guard. So realistic, love these videos.

Agree 100%! Loads better. And I love the way the chuffs sound like someone has put the reverser into full forward when she hits the gradient. Superb.

Brilliant

Much better, cardboard just isn't durable enough in the garden

Overall a very nice improvement, but I liked the rivet detail on the original smokebox.

@jimprior180762 10 месяцев назад

It amazes me the variety of designs that evolved for these workhorses. Lovely little engines, I think you've done a cracking job on Tattenhall 👍

Thanks Jim. I forgot all about the rivets on the rebuild. I'll rectify that.

Have you ever considered converting an open freight car into some kind of open air passenger car? They would be very nice to see in the PLRR's summer operations

@rikbennett9 10 месяцев назад

Hi Michael. The nearest I have to that is an open sided coach based on the Glyn Valley four wheeled open coach. I don't have any plans for an open topped coach. There wasn't much call for them in the UK. I can't think of any open topped coaches running on UK Ng railways though the Leek & Manifold and the Rye and Camber used to put seats in open wagons when they had an influx of passengers.

@@rikbennett9 I feel like you should make your own open top car so your railway has its own identity

@@rikbennett9would the Ravenglass and Eskdale count? Over a hundred years of operating open coaches.

@rikbennett9 10 месяцев назад

Maybe - though it would be even more persuasive if the Ratty had used them in its three foot gauge years .... 🤔😁

Hey Rik, have you heard about the plans to rebirth The Southwold Railway with their new engine "Blythe"?

@rikbennett9 10 месяцев назад

Absolutely! My membership number for the Southwold Railway Trust (or Preservation Soc when I joined) is 25, so I've been following its development (and frustrations) for many years. One day, Blyth might chuff along some of the old trackbed ..... hopefully. 🫰

@rikbennett9 10 месяцев назад

@@michaelbenitez539 No. My steam locos are named after local villages (Beeston, Tattenhall, Harthill etc) and my diesel locos are named after people - either the Tollemache family or my own family.
