Boats and trains, a unique mixture.
Both are reflected in my writing and my films, some made during my seafaring days, some as recently as yesterday.
Zeevaart en spoorwegen, een unieke combinatie.
Beide spelen een rol in mijn auteurschap, mijn films en video, sommige gemaakt tijdens mijn zeevarende loopbaan 40 jaar geleden en sommige nog eergisteren.

Test running Tramvajové Nebe
Having fitted a timer circuit and diodes to Don Sibley's layout, I ran a few tests.
The end sections are all fitted with diodes to prevent overrunning. The timer circuit is energised by push button (actually I touch two wires together!), then reverses the polarity of the track/overhead feed. The tram goes on its way and stops at the end of the run. After an interval, the polarity reverses again when the relay loses power, and the tram returns to its starting position.
There are two routes: one is a narrow gauge line, the other a standard gauge line. The track on part of the route is mixed (3-rail). Naturally they can only run separately.

Deze modeltramweg in schaal H0 is gebaseerd op het tramnetwerk van Liberec in Tsje...

Rotbacherwaldbahn - a model tramway by Don Sibley
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.10 месяцев назад
The Rotbacherwaldbahn was inspired on German metre gauge trams. The model was built in H0m - 12mm gauge track - and features live overhead operation. The trackwork is handbuilt with (mostly) sprung single blade points. I was privileged to assist Don at the final exhibition appearance of this layout at the Valkenburg exhibition of 2023. Regrettably Don suddenly passed away shortly afterwards. Th...

restoring the Egger Western locomotive
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.Год назад
The Eggerbahn Western locomotive was a caricature based on the standard 1960s steam locomotive chassis and body. It was fitted with an outrageous chimney and cowcatcher and a four-wheel tender. Had they decided to turn it into a Forney tank engine, it had been more effective. I restored the wreck of one by adapting and fitting a Minitrix 0-6-0 chassis. The original plastic chassis was lost, but...

Paramaribo en landhuizen In 2022 maakten wij een reis naar Suriname, waarbij wij telkens uitstapjes van enkele dagen maakten vanuit Paramaribo. De reis was georganiseerd door Waterproof Tours. Dit is de laatste video van de serie. Tot nu toe was er weinig in deze serie te zien van Paramaribo. Ook heb ik twee landhuizen buiten beschouwing gelaten. Allereerst Paramaribo, waar we een stadstocht ma...

Restoring an old Egger-Bahn model tram locomotive
Просмотров 2,8 тыс.Год назад
This 1960s model, owned by a friend, came with a motor, but without a chassis. I cut down an equally old Minitrix 0-6-0 chassis and ground away part of the Egger ballast block to fit the replacement chassis. The original motor fits and still works. The chassis is slightly offset to the front, but this isn't noticeable from normal viewing angles.
Restoring a 1960s Minitrains Baldwin
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.Год назад
Recently I restored an old Minitrains Baldwin for a friend. The original model had an almost unused motor, but the gears had split and the chassis block was missing. I found some spare parts and made it go again. In addition I fitted a LED headlight, as the original bulb was missing. The video compares the 1960s model with the modern Minitrains version produced about 10 years ago. The modern on...

No narrow gauge locos in this clip!
4:34 I've never seen H0p before. Is it a custom gauge?
Ahoj, nádherně zpracované a námět z Čech 😮, to je radost 😊, děkuji za sdílení a zdravím ...
The Suez Canal was closed at the time
How wonderful is this! 😃 Top stuff!
Dat vind ik niet goed als hij die kwikwi lokt , in de vorige film ,deze meeneemt en ook het nest met eitjes. Dat is plunderen.Laat toch het dier met rust en haar nest . Zo maakt u de natuur kapot en u hebt u geen visjes volgend jaar. U wilt toch ook leven en u vangt al zoveel met uw net. Dit noem ik hebzuchtigheid. Foei meneer.
Brilliant Ted!!!

Prachtige beelden die mooie herinneringen bij me oproepen, ik was dekjongen, na 1 reis matroos o/g, en daarna matroos op diverse Nedlloyd schepen in die tijd. Laarderkerk, Leiderkerk, Sinoutskerk, Leuve Loyd, Loire Loyd etc. Toen ik op de Nedlloyd Dejima (containervaart) een reis maakte besefte ik dat dit de toekomst zou worden en dat het varen zoals ik het kende voor altijd voorbij zou gaan.. Helaas heb ik gelijk gekregen… het hedendaagse container varen lijkt wat mij betreft nergens op, de charme en het avontuur van toen is volledig weg. Ik koester de mooie herinneringen en ik ben blij dat ik die mooie tijd heb mogen beleven.
Excellent Experience
Ik heb dezelfde reis in 72 gemaakt. Was mijn eerste reis als stm ll. Een onvergetelijke ervaring en als ik de film terugzie roept dat weer zoveel herinneringen op. Mijn reis was met de Bawean met een bemanning van 65 man. Nu niet meer voor te stellen. Ik ben blij dat ik de "oude" tijd nog mee heb mogen maken want de charme van toen is er nu wel een beetje af. Bedankt voòr het delen van deze unieke beelden.

A great video. I have one of these and ordered the parts from Nigel Lawton. When received the bushes he had supplied were 4.3 mm long. I found this strange as I had ordered the 2.6mm as indicated in your video. I assumed all was well and fitted the supplied bushes to the axle glueing in place. Then could not fit these into the loco, contacted Nigel Lawton to advise him of this error but cannot get any response from him despite two emails. A complete waste of money. How can anyone do business in this manner???
Dit was een mooie tijd bij de VNS ik vaarde daar als 2e kok bakker op div schepen zoals giessenkerk en lelykerk leiderkerk , en hoogkerk en alle kustschepen op west afrika
Het straatspoor is wel erg mooi uitgevoerd zeg ! prachtig
Wonderful landscape and a super staged train ride.
Nice! 😀
Lovely loyout!
Beautiful! Great details, exciting driving.
Really good, is narrow gauge in its purest form!
Mooi filmpje! Kwam wangeroog tegen op google maps, zag een oud spoorlijntje liggen en ben direct op onderzoek uitgegaan! Kwam uw filmpje tegen en weet dat ik dit jaar met lekker weer daar heen ga! Wil dit historische smalspoor graag van dichtbij bekijken, geopend in 1897 door de Pruisische staatsbanen!
Very impressive modelling
It's really great fun to watch the little trains travelling through this beautifully crafted landscape.
Remarkable
Wonderful display of fine detail and smooth operation of locos.
I have enjoyed your video and it really helps me with my recovery from my brain tumour and stroke as I try to get back to my modelling I mention my illness so you know who is watching and why thank you Is that a playcraft old brickworks kit That got me into narrow gauge when I was twelve 😂
Is this locomotive scratch-built?
❤❤❤❤❤Home!!!!!
Hi Ted, I have long been an admirer of your work. On Nixnie I was wondering how you operate the points? On the video it sounds as though they are motorised but there is no evidence of above board motors and I know that the layout is built on 50mm of solid polystyrene so I assume fitting motors below the board isn't straight forward. Cheers Ian

What a lovely layout! RIP, Don.
That iron structure hanging over the river was obviously for extraction ,export /exploitation ,many years ago ,you now return on a holiday to enjoy yourselves in this paradise ,with no acknowledgment voiced,as you enjoy the cream of long established privilege off the back of human suffering.
Thank you for your reply, even though it sounds like a reproach. The structure over the river is a bulk loading plant for rice cultivated in the area. Regrettably it was allowed to run into disrepair, even though this area is still a large rice producer. Exploitation? Yes, the erstwhile Colony was built on exploitation. If you take trouble to look at my acknowledgement of the human suffering of the past, perhaps you will take a look at what I wrote in my author's blog. This is only one post of many underlining the research I did before I wrote my novel ANANSI. I trust that will be the answer to your concern --> tedpoletbooks.blogspot.com/2023/04/the-dutch-republic-and-slave-trade.html
Adding to my previous reply, perhaps this one will say more about my personal opinion of the past. --> tedpoletbooks.blogspot.com/2023/02/anansi-and-slavery.html
