- A short video giving an account of how Beeston Castle Station on Peckforton Light Railway has evolved over the past seventeen years. Peckforton Light Railway is a 45mm gauge, 15mm scale (F Scale) garden railway situated in Cheshire. It depicts a hypothetical three foot narrow gauge railway which might have been constructed towards the end of the nineteenth century to serve the copper mines and rural communities around the Peckforton Hills in Cheshire.

Brilliant. I love these little bite size history lessons.
A highlight of any morning is to see another video up and the coffee fresh!
Good to see the film unit has upped it's production values over the years! 😊
I could watch your railway running all day 😊
The realism, the background stories behind each individual piece,location, building of the railway is just awe inspiring ❤.
One day I hope my railway will be as good as this 😊👍
Thanks for that. I must admit that I do like my railway to have a purpose and try to run it as realistically as possible.
What a charming video of this lovely little railway.
Fabulous just love it
Wonderful stuff😊👍💜
I remember going to Beeston Castle when I was about eight and thinking it was very disappointing compared with the Yorkshire castles I'd known up to then!
I love the story of your models. It's one of my favourite parts of the hobby, making up the world.
I agree. Constructing models and running trains is only part of the p!easier. I once saw a post on a forum saying that the poster had constructed his railway and got trains running so what was he supposed to do next? My problem is trying to figure out when to stop.
@@rikbennett9 if you're running a session, how long does it take a train to travel from Beeston M yo Bulkeley in real time? Do you do several circuits between stations,?
@@martincrapper Hi Martin. It takes about twelve minutes to travel from one end of the line to the other. I do run over some sections more than once but that's to ensure I can reverse the train to be able to run into the final terminus. - this video shows the journey from the copper mine to Beeston Market to give some idea of what's involved - ruclips.net/video/O8C2d9RG0yw/видео.html
Absolutely superb. I have to confess that it’s your voice I hear when I’m writing my FeckHallBahn stories.
I don’t do voiceovers though - I have a great face for radio and a voice for mime…
If your stories are as witty as your comments, then they should be well worth a read! 👍
Where do you find the time to do it all Rik!? 😉 You're such an inspiration, I really like Beeston Castle and after reading your blog post I've got some thermalite blocks to fashion a bridge for railway to cross a small stream, to cut my teeth, so to speak, to learn techniques in preparation for a larger project - an old haunted abbey atop a hill. Did you treat the blocks with any kind of penetrating sealant to prevent frost damage?
Hi Jim. I can't claim credit for the idea. My mate, Greg, in Australia alerted me to it. He's made quite a few structures on his railway from Hebel which is their equivalent to Thermalite. I too was concerned about frost damage, but so far I haven't seen any evidence of it and the castle has been outside for nearly five years now.
