Germano-Welsh 16mm scale garden railway; the FeckHallBahn although hedgehogs & cats may make guest appearances! The FHB started with a gift of an LGB starter set in 2020 and has grown… There are 2 main line termini; Hornundtrompetebahnhof and Kirschbaumimwaldbahnhof with an intermediate station - Rasenmäher Überfahrt Haltepünkt. From here there is a branch line to Tiefeshorn via the fearsome 1 in 8 Vogelscheiße Incline.
Stock is a mixture of modified off the shelf, kit built and scratch built.

Workshop Wednesday - adjusting Loch Crinan’s regulator
Просмотров 30322 часа назад
In this week’s Workshop Wednesday I adjust Loch Crinan’s regulator so that it fully closes when operated by the remote control handset. I did my commentary as I was doing the work rather than adding it in during the editing process so my apologies if it seems unrehearsed - that’ll be because it is. In a nutshell the video shows the problem with a section of onboard footage - watch out for how l...

Mamod Quarry loco (Gerhilde), manual control, using Mamod Boulton (Baskerville) as brakes. Steam up just because and a panning view of the whole Nibelung Line because why not!? I’m enjoying this loco tremendously now that I have a way of knowing when the boiler is full during a run (as shown in a previous ‘Workshop Wednesday’). It’s still like an exuberant Border Collie but at least I’ve got _s...

Permanent way Wednesday - point frog rebuild. Eliminating the curtsey
Просмотров 270День назад
LGB radius 1 points are problematic for the fine scale 16mm stock that now makes up the majority of the FeckHallBahn’s powered units. I’ve already made things a lot better by increasing the height of the check rails and decreasing the width of the associated flange ways with copper strip. Next stop - point frogs. Locos with 16mm scale wheels, particularly the small diameter ones, have been ‘cur...
Monochrome Monday - echoes of Penrhyn.

The FeckHallBahn had a mini Penrhyn festival over the weekend featuring both Quarry Hunslets, a rake of slate wagons and our Chaloner class 0-4-0VBT I’ve remembered why the slate wagons don’t come out very often. They derail constantly!

The FeckHallBahn’s latest arrival took the Board of Directors on an evening jaunt around the system; apart from the 2’ gauge siding at Kirschbaumimwald which is the last remnant of the quarry railway system. Everyone, including the CEO, CME and co-opted board members, was impressed with the loco’s performance and she is now on the roster. Loco crew:- Brian Clavey (driver) and Friederic George (...

Beautiful. 😊
I like hedgehogs. Haven't seen one for years!
Great to see the PWD night crew hard at work! Did you recruit them from Monty Pythons Ministry by any chance?😂😂😂😂😂
I really love it when they do the walking scratches - cracks me up!
I presume the hedgehog is employed to keep the right of way clean. Most enjoyable.😎🚂🚃🚃🚃✝
Guess your steamies have a day off when it comes to a bank holiday.
Definitely not!
Nice entry 👍 love that outdoor layout
Cool Nigel.
Fun!
Nice one Nigel! Love the rusty tanker, very much my favourite, but love your Chaloner a well. Nice to see the model rail community coming together for a bit of fun.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the garden train. Awesome train. Cool entry. Found your channel through Terrys challenge. Just subscribed. 😎👍🏼
Thanks for the sub; much appreciated.
Nice. I'm not too keen on Mr. Coffee Pot. I prefer Polly, Loch Crinan, Judy and the other cab steamies.
Miss, not Mr. She’s a phenomenal loco.
Awesome Nigel! I LOVE the rusty rank. 😊 Great choice of loco too. So good. 😊
Another great video Nigel. That really is a fantastic little engine.👍
Nice entry! That is a beautiful locomotive too! I love with these challenges that we are connected to other channels that we may not have seen before. We just subscribed to your channel. -John and David
Thanks for the sub, much appreciated.
Neat Nigel. You Welsh?
Very English but a fan of German & Welsh narrow gauge!
The little engine that (almost) couldn't. 😂
Bit touch and go at the upper end of the incline. Well handled by the crew. 😅
I was surprised myself. There’s 2 pints of water in the shell tanker and another one in the BP wagon. It did 19 laps (456 yards)!!
Good to see the guard / load master got to grips with the slippage on that last tank wagon. Things could have got nasty...
Guard’s been sent on a load securing course…
Nigel, this was very interesting, and I learned quite a lot actually. Accidents happen, and I was shouting 'Oh No' at the screen as I watched. I have a cat visitor from a neighbour, who likes to try and catch birds, but ends up scattering ballast everywhere in his failed attempts and the birds outwit him. haha I too have water gun, that I can use from the bedroom window when he thinks I am not there
😂😂
Informative video again. Well done Nigel. Hope the driver incident inquiry goes well - looks like a salary deduction penalty is likely😢
Driver claimed that it was the regulator not closing fully but examination of the footage clearly shows it being opened wide prior to the train clearing the facing points. His punishment is yet to be determined but is likely to involve milk churns
At 6:00 that looks like quite the accident! I'm a bit relieved to see it's not just my trains that do that 😮
Speeding. An enquiry has been launched…
Very interesting and eventful. What a fantastic idea you had to video the regulator adjustment for workshop Wednesday😁
I wonder where THAT idea came from!!
@@FeckHallBahnI wonder if the missing grub screw is the reason youve had to adjust the linkage and if so will it happen again🤔
@davidwhite1864 Very likely; but I won’t have to do it again. Replaced & loctited the grub!!
Loch Crinan looks odd without her cab roof. Glad you were able to alter her regulator valve, it's good that you can control her better. Slow and steady wins the race.
Hot day, Caractacus fancied the convertible option…
Steamers are lovely! How about a bit of detail on them, Nigel? Coal fired, meths fired etc. I know nothing about Accucraft or anything else in this line. PS big band music is my pet hate... Sorry!
Sorry about the big band music!! I didn’t get to do very much during my career; not much work for french horns in the repertoire. I did audition for the James Last orchestra once though. There will be detail about all the fleet in my ‘Fleet Focus’ series. I haven’t committed to dates for these yet as both the weather and my health are a bit unpredictable. I’ve only done the railcar so far; No. 2, Judy, is next. Polly is my first live steamer at No. 14. All my live steam locos are gas fired and all except the Mamod are radio controlled.
"Dougal, did you remember to switch the points?" "Oh yes Ted dont worry! Oh, wait now, i havent"
😂😂😂
Yes it would appear to involve a rather splendid Accucraft Caradoc😁
Nice long train, Nigel!
14 axles, quite heavy (14 lbs) and the Mamod STILL needed brakes!!
I've got a spooky tune of music, which would go well with this: Phantom of the Opera. The music is in my captures folder, ready to be used for a Ghost Train Running Session on my own model railway.
It would work really well but, as someone who’s part of a team policing copyright infringements, I’d have to report myself
Fantastic Nigel. Loved every second. I dont have a servo on my Caradocs regulator just the reverser. Seems to work just fine although I dont do as much shunting as you right enough.
Mine was only reverser when I got it. Added the regulator servo when I upgraded to 2.4GHz. Tomorrow’s job (one of them) will be adjusting the regulator!!
@@FeckHallBahn Hopefuly a quick fix mate. Sounds like a video for workshop Wednesday😁
@davidwhite1864 Not sure I can squeeze a video out of undoing a nut and tightening it up again!! I’d have to have her in steam though so that could add a bit of spice!!
@davidwhite1864 Guess what tomorrow’s Workshop Wednesday is about?
@@FeckHallBahn Hmmm let me think. Does it involve a rather splendid Accucraft Caradoc?🤔
fun times
Thanks, Nigel!
This is really good Nigel, I throughly enjoyed every minute, and also loved the different camera positions, and footage from those, Nice Job 👍👌👏
How about a guide to the birds you see in the garden?
The footage at 4:30 is perfect, great exposure, in focus, great composition. Love all your videos, but thought that just looked perfect.
Thank you.
A lot of work goes into 12 minutes of excitement. Nice to see almost the whole roster in action!😅
Those Dunnock's need to go on railway safety course!! 😂
I agree! They had a lookout at one point but he got bored very quickly!
Nice. You do get a lot of wildlife on your line. Today birds. Yesterday frogs🤣👍
Groan!!!
I've never heard of a siding camera. Do you see any other birds near the railway, like the Blue Tit for example?
It’s only called siding camera because that’s where I put it this week; it’s a small motion sensitive wildlife camera. We get the full range of suburban birds including all the tits (except coal tits). It’s very unlikely that you would see a blue tit near the railway as they aren’t ground feeders or insectivorous (the hedge sparrows in the video are eating woodlice and earwigs). We get lots of blue tits, great tits and long tailed tits on the cherry tree and on the various bird feeders.
What an eventful day.
Lovely steamy! Have fun with her!
I seem to remember a small orange/yellow electric-powered steamer (Dougal?) having some trouble over a set of points. Was that really last year? 🤯 My own railway so far is just a simple loop, but I'm starting to feel like that's pointless!
That was indeed Dougal! PDF Quarry Hunslet with fine scale wheels. Raising the check rail fixed the derailment issue but not the curtsey (apparently curtsy is ok too!!). You need some points!!
Very cool.
Nigel - that is a great idea. I have similar UV problems with a few points and fine scale wheels tripping through the junctions.
Thats really interesting Nigel (Snigel), I liked this a lot, and I think I may have to get a kneeling mat at some point for the work on the GCLR,
I always hoped that Anders (the person who gave me the nickname) just added an S to Nigel rather than referring to my running times! I was a fairly competent long distance runner back in the day.
Nice work. Hope Jack won't go curtseying over the points so much. Has it happened with any of the other engines?
All of the ones with fine scale wheels Kelly. Not quite so apparent with the live steam locos as they have larger diameter wheels and it’s not a problem with the two Regners as they were designed for this type of track.
