A stroll down the line watching trains pass by as we go. For reasons best known to itself, on today's walk we see every item of motive power in service on the railway and all the line's coaching stock. A trainspotter's paradise. Peckforton Light railway is a 45mm gauge garden railway depicting a might-have-been three foot narrow gauge railway which could have served the copper mines and local communities along the Peckforton Hills in rural Cheshire (UK).

Wonderful. An antidote to everything nasty, as well as a fantastic achievement. Such a busy line. I can't believe it doesn't make a profit with all that traffic. (Ninety-three years later I want the M&GN Joint reopened in full for the Amazon parcels traffic.) Two questions: (i) how are the points reset between the passage of two conflicting trains, and (ii) seeing the little live steam loco with that ore train, what is the ore actually made of?

Thanks Alan. I'm with you on the Muddle and Go Nowhere. 1) Mostly points are changed manually but a few are electrically operated. The point blades for the sand quarry were thrown by the Walker railcar trailing through it. It's heavy enough to push them. 2) The ore is actually crushed sandstone. Working on the principle that it's the bedrock in which the copper (and small deposits of silver) is carried.

There are two more in the workshop waiting to be finished off and another couple at the planning stage. I've become fascinated by early diesel locos.

ive always wanted to have a garden railway that works well with plants but my railway is on cinder blocks for abt half of the journey because of an uneven garden. What plants can I get that are low maintenance and scale eg the small trackside leaves at 4:53

If I may chip in (beware it gets everywhere) 'Mind Your Own Business' (Soleirolia soleirolii) as ground cover. Also for small (pruned almost to the fashion of Bonsai) you could go for Lonicera nitida ('Baggesens Gold' or Poor Man's Box) which can also be used as hedging, line side greenery etc. I hope that helps✌️👍💜🤞

Thanks. You've beaten me to it. I've also had success with Corsican Mint and moss proliferates but that's because most of my garden is in the shade for most of the year

You got more locos than your engine shed or sheds can handle. Maybe a new larger engine shed or depot needed.

ThNks for yet another great video Rik, a workman’s coach is now on my list of rolling stock required for my own railway 👍😀
@rikbennett9
@rikbennett9 4 месяца назад
Thanks. Yes, I thought the workmen's coach would add a bit of variety to running sessions. I bought it on eBay years ago. Clearly scratchbuilt, from plywood and loosely based on a GVT coach. The ply is very ragged around the windows and beading which made me think it would be better used as a time-expired coach pensioned off for use by mineworkers rather than part of the regular passenger fleet. The workmen are roughly hand-carved wooden figures I picked up in a pound shop somewhere - see - riksrailway.blogspot.com/2011/09/progress-report-38.html

Nice little fowler...... kit or scratch built?
@rikbennett9
@rikbennett9 4 месяца назад
It was my first attempt at a partial scratchbuild - scratchbuilt plasticard body on an LGB ToyTrain motor block - riksrailway.blogspot.com/2011/04/how-i-converted-toytrain-diesel-into.html - Quite a few of my locos use ToyTrain blocks which are well engineered, powerful and run well.

@@rikbennett9 Nice... good idea to use a 'ready-made' chassis..takes a lot of the guess and fudge-work out of it.
