In 2015, I made a video showing how the railway fits into the garden. I have now remade the video, showing how the line has developed over the past seven years. The Peckforton Light Railway is a 45mm gauge garden railway depicting a 'might have been' 3' narrow gauge railway which could have been built in the Cheshire (UK) countryside in the early 20th century.

I have to say, the Peckforton Light Railway has to be the prettiest garden railway I have ever seen shared on this website! You have all the reason in the world to be proud :D

Charming. My father's garden railway is 20 years old this year, they bring so much pleasure over the years. Thanks for sharing 👍😊

I just wish I had a garden but I could put my 1/285 scale isle of man trains in a planter

The little tricks & slight locational licence taken, in fitting a full and plausible light railway into a garden, is something truly magnificent. The amount of structures placed, as well as landscaping & groundwork done must be tremendous.

@rikbennett9 2 года назад

Thanks. Gives me the opportunity to run end to end as well as having round and round when I just fancy train watching 🤗

Looking superb as always Rik! A narrow gauge empire.

Lovely and interesting update on PLR Rik. I've been laying track and landscaping over the last year, and frequently make reference to your articles. Great to see the comparison with 2015. All the best, Jim

@rikbennett9 2 года назад

Thanks Jim. Good to hear your progress. I hope everything is working out as you intended.

That was very pleasant to watch, thanks for sharing!

Stellar. I can imagine many, many hours sitting back with a cuppa and just 'playing' trains. It enhances the character of the layout when there is proper context to it mixed along with snippets of real places. Makes me wish I was still working😃

It certainly keeps me busy - and at least the missus knows where I am. She's very tolerant of the time I spend out in the garden - though the list of household jobs she gives me does seem to be lengthening.....

@redoktopus3047 4 месяца назад

batteries and radio controls are so inspiring. having to deal with track power and it's headaches is something that always seemed stressful to me. when i get my own place and finally have the space, time, and money to do a garden railway, i plan to do what you did! really inspirational! thanks for paving the way :D

I hope it all works out for you. It's certainly not something I've ever regretted

Great video Rik. The description of the vegetation is excelkent - very useful for discussion with SWMBO regards trackside developments. Keep them coming. Best Ianm

@rikbennett9 2 года назад

Thanks Ian. Only too happy to contribute to matrimonial harmony ... 😉

@martinsoublette95 2 года назад

Nice. We started to build our own back in 2008. And since then, many things changed, for example, vegetation, and back in 2019 we REBUILT there entire track (track was scratch built).

@rikbennett9 2 года назад

There's always stuff that needs repair, maintenance or replacing on a garden railway. Much easier indoors - but far more fun outside!

@tominnis8353 2 года назад

Truly delightful! I like the way in which you seamlessly switch to 2015 and then back to the present. If anything like my tramway, your railway must make gardening difficult. I have to use old sheets to catch hedge clippings and hope I don't tread on anything fragile underneath! I admire your skills and dedication. Very rewarding watching this. Thank you.

@rikbennett9 2 года назад

HI Tom. Hedge trimming is a bit of a nightmare. The garden is surrounded (on three sides) by hedges and I also have quite a few shrubs dotted around the garden which need regular trimming. I'm not as organised as you - I just try picking up the trimmings afterwards. Point levers always seem to suffer when I'm standing on the railway to trim the hedges - I might revert to LGB manual levers - less realistic but suffer no damage when stepped on

@tominnis8353 2 года назад

@@rikbennett9 Thanks for your reply Rik. I'm just about to install point motors so fingers crossed!!

@alanprice9312 2 года назад

Great Rik. I love to see the context. Inspiring - I regret ground-level lines are no longer feasible for me.

@rikbennett9 2 года назад

They are becoming increasingly difficult for me. I can get down there but not surer about getting back up again ..... ;-)

Proper railway in the landscape,lots of track but hardly any of it visible,unless you look. Seamless.

@zanderkmd2020 2 года назад

It's good to see you uploading! I found your channel a few weeks ago, and it's been a big inspiration for me! I now want to build my own garden railway here in in states.

@rikbennett9 2 года назад

I do hope you manage to build your railway. Mine has given a lot of enjoyment over the years. All the best with your endeavours.
