well, the weather was nice, so why not enjoy a steam up? October 2008 services on the Maesffordd. It'll soon be 'santa special' time again!

  • Yes, it's a home made chuff pipe. I'm in the process of making some more for the other loco's.

  • Lovely video Paul - that's some tight clearance on the tunnel, just like the real thing I know, but I don't suppose you'll be running many Irish vehicles :-)

  • Hi Neil,

    We could try it with the Irish stock if you like, might scrape the door-handles a little though.

    ;-)

  • Hi Paul a real delight to watch like all your films I just keep watching them all The camera work just gets better keep it up hope fully My Garden railway will be as good as yours

    Paul from Raleigh Road Steam

  • Thanks Paul. I follow my most basic principle of viewing it from the perspective of an actual by-stander. Keep the camera as low as possible and make sure the scene looks convincing. It's taken 9 years and a lot of experimenting and changing of things along the way to get the railway to it's current standard, there's still areas that I'm not happy with. It's an ongoing process.

  • Fantastic sounds on this one Paul. As I write this comment I'm constantly scrolling up to see the action.

    Must be cold in England now, what with those steam plumes!

    Cheers, Matthew.

  • Hi Matthew. Don't tell nayone, but I did cheat slightly. the video is half actual speed. It gives the exhaust beat a deeper tone. Weather here has just started turning colder, the mornings are crisp and cold now. Waiting for a cold day to see what spectacular sort of steam plume the Ogwen will create.

  • I just found this video and have to admit that it's marvellous: A real movie about a wonderful garden railway! I build a railway in my garden momentarily, but I doubt that I'm going to reach this high level of perfection. Congratulations, it's a pleasure to watch.

  • Is there a chuff pipe on your Excelsior? Thats a beautiful railway you have.

  • Wonderful line, beautifully shot, and lovely scale speed running - great job!
