    You have done what most us would hardly dare dream of doing and you are willing to share it with us. Thank you Ian for creating such a delightful railway.

    Wonderful stuff! Such an imaginative railway. Those are some very tight radius turns, and derailments don't seem to be a problem. Thank you for sharing it!

    • @Elvinley
      @Elvinley  2 года назад +1

      Thanks Stan! There are occasional derailments but there is always a reason such as uneven track or leaning back too far on the loco. Generally the stock copes very well with the curves.

    Another lovely video. You've done a lot of work around the railway since the last video I saw. It looks like a lot of slate stacking work there.

    • @Elvinley
      @Elvinley  2 года назад

      Indeed! So much slate-had to put it somewhere so made a feature of it. Thanks again for watching and commenting!

    I am very impressed with your progress and all with n 2 years! Well Done! I know how hard doing that work is. You have created a very characterful railway that will be the envy of many people. Can"t wait for Lauries little film to be loaded.

    This looks like an amazing bit of British exxentricity - just marvellous! When can we have a cabin ride round the whole track? or is it about to come - I'm not at the end of the video yet. Thanks. Tom (from France)

      Hi Tom, On some previous vids I did the whole line but will probably do it again at some point!
