Diesel Hydraulic Shunter

My freshly built model diesel shunter is introduced to the layout via the storage roads and hauls a short freight out of the station.

theres a gap in your track on the vid its 36 seconds . third time round looking at this video gives me many ideas thanks for sharing them with us great job.

Glad to help, there are gaps in all four rails here as there are at 11:37 in front of the signal, this is the lift out section of the layout and allows for window cleaning, I can easy reach over it to open it. I use small brass door bolts to secure it in position. I have to tell you also that there are 18 sections of isolated track on my layout allowing me to run another loco up to the back of a set of trucks while on the same piece of track as the other loco, a shunt vid for you soon.

Thanks, the web is so good for backscenes with a little artistic licence added.

The factory looks very realistic, and the cattle pen adds to the scene, alll looking very good, nice job on the shunter.
