- This video could be one of the last videos taken of this miniature railway, it has got to go due to the closure of the Power station and the future redevelopement of the area.They should have closed this site by April 2017 but the members have just heard this has been extended by another six months.Although the track site can only be used for testing.
The members are hoping the redevelopers of the site will allow them to stay,keep your fingers crossed.It will be a sad day if this railway site closes.
Many thanks to Wrexham Model Engineering Society members for allowing me to join them on there visit,also to John Dutton for arranging our trip.
Great track with a great bunch of friendly members..Thanks!
All video was taken hand held so sorry for any shakes.
Spot the mistake!!! Sorry!!!! The stop in the middle of the video was caused by a VERY slow computer.
i really do miss this track, i was a member with them and intend on going back and looking around other railways with them once the simplex is overhauled!
Hi,Yes it is a shame this railway has closed,I know what you mean when you say you miss this railway,we used to visit Pentney Park railway with our loco's very often and we really miss that now it has closed...Let's hope your club gets some good news when the site is developed and they have room for your railway again........Best wishes Chris
as always top video. looks like a great set up loved the GCR 04. shame it may close lets hope developers incorporate it in to whatever they do with site.
Hi Tony,i'm glad somebody else likes the 04 most were looking at the Duchess,although a very nice loco the 04 is just that bit different.We can always hope somebody on the developers side thinks this track worth saving........Best wishes Chris.
What an excellent video! Very sad to find out that this Miniature Railway maybe be closing for good! :-( Great to see folk of all ages getting involved in these railways, so that they can continue them on for generations to come!
It has closed now,what a shame.The members can only go to test there loco's.I agree we need more younger members they are the clubs future...........Regards Chris
Hi there Chris, it's such a shame! I wonder if there is any hope of re-opening post development..... we shall see I guess.
Regards, CJT.
The members are hoping who ever takes over the Power station site could allow it to continue running,keep your fingers crossed for them.......Cheers Chris
It would be under-statementish of me to say you were in the company of a 'light breeze' there! Loving those very detailed stations.
Hi Mark,You are right it was a little windy, but I think the external mic's wind muff and the mics setting was the main cause.I don't think I will use that again.........Best wishes Chris.
Another great video! I understand this one is mothballed while the power station is demolished and then once demolition is complete the railway can reopen?
It is open now for members only,or it was.They had been working on the track,plus running on a few occasions.
Great video Chris..Liked the Duchess and the 04....Hope they can stay there longer term....Would be good....Best wishes....Steve.-:)
I hope they do Steve,such a shame to see all there hard work go to waste.........Best wishes Chris.
Great video as always Chris , lets hope they can stay, appears it has a lot going for it with the Large track etc and that Stanier Princess is a beauty ! regards Graham
Shame that this track could close Graham,but at least they are going out with a bang,lot's of M.E.S have made a visit to the track before it closes..............Regards Chris.
well all i can say fingers crossed it stays for them, i will be joining the chelmsford group soon as they are planning a Gauge one track so you never know i might even have a look at the larger scales there !
You do that Graham,it is great fun,I will soon be picking up my restored 7 1/4 Royal Scot and I cannot wait to try her out.Watch out for that video.......Cheers Chris.
They had to work hard to get their locos from their transport onto the track Chris, but it looks a well made and fast cirquit...Regards...Bob
Hi Bob,The unloading area is a long way from the track but I liked the ramp down onto the running track and transverser.Chris does get a move on,we had a ride behind him at the Wrexham club a few years back............Best wishes Chris.
It’s running again. Grab it while you can. :o)
Yes, I knew it was in operation again, which is good news that the club can again enjoy running the railway.
@@wooltman you can see bits of it on my channel. (Built a loco in the autum)
