Hi Guys, nice video, the layout is amazing,as regards the trucks, you might be interested to know that BR track gangs used a Transit crew-bus on railway wheels on the West Highland Railway during the 1970s, for track inspections, might be possible to fit an Oxford die-cast body onto a Bachmann trackster chassis, although fitting a decoder might prove to be difficult, anyway, thanks for sharing, take care, all the best from Scotland, Stephen.
Speaking as a rivet counter, 😂😂😂😂 sorry, forklift truck operator the, red forklift should be fitted with a roll cage. And it would be more than adequate to work the distillery. Although I can't see the load capacity plate from here. 😃 The yellow one is a bit of overkill for working in a confined space/ yard. Keep up with these videos about your smashing layout and Please take this with a pinch of Salt. 😉
It's funny you should say that.... we actually researched maximum lifting weights of forklifts and the dead weight of 4 barrels on a pallet and whilst ur right, the red one, if it was modern would be on its limit lifting 4 loaded whiskey barrels, the bigger one would easily lift 8, 2 pallets of 4 so it was decided that a bigger one would be best suited to the distillery.... ha ha ha 😂
@GlenmarochLane Lifting 8 barrels on two pallets at once! Your asking an operator to do twice the amount of work in the same time? I'll have the union on to you! 😂😂
We are both capable but to be fair, paul does way better than we could achieve and to be honest, we have more than enough to do with both the glenmaroch and deep glen layouts to last years 🤣🤣
Awesome sound on the deltics - nice fleet video
You are single handedly keeping Paul in business! All looking good though, I have really enjoyed this run through of all your stock.
Yeah Paul does a brilliant job as always and thanks for your brilliant comment 😊

🤣🤣🤣🤣 gotta get those wagons unloaded quick smart 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@GlenmarochLane That's it, I'm off. You can drive it yourself! 😄
nice fleet, why do you not do weathering yourself? Buy some old wagons and practise on them
