- A selection of the trains running on a typical summer's morning on the Peckforton Light Railway in 1932. The PLR is a hypothetical three foot narrow gauge railway which could have been built in the Cheshire countryside to serve the copper mines and local communities around the Peckforton Hills. It is a 45mm gauge and built to 15mm/1ft scale (or thereabouts). The majority of stock is hand built either from scratch or from kits or modified from the off the shelf models. More recently, I have been drawing and 3D printing my own models of mostly Southwold Railway stock.

great video Rik your video's are a great inspiration got to go in to the garden now and play trains
As always, absolutely charming and delightful. Thank you for sharing The Peckforton line with us!
Brilliant has usual Rik. You have taken videoing to another level, has is your modelling. Superb.
Great little garden railway.Your gardens looks nice too.
Very impressive movie! Cheers, Fabrizio
Love the sort of documentary feel from this! Keep it up!
Nice to see a change of pace with the ore train behind the little Hawthorn loco, swapped for your diesel hydraulic. The Southwold stock has to be some of my favorites on your railway, and as always, a very enjoyable session!
I hope the milk "churns" haven't lived up to their name here. "Churn" was a colloquial term used to describe milk cans based on what happened to the milk carried within them, especially by rail. I am addicted to your videos, by the way.
Thanks Stephen. I suspect on some minor railways such as the PLR, the milk was more like butter by the time it reached its destination. Gad you are enjoying the videos by the way
What a lovely enjoyable relaxing video.
Thanks Geof. Glad you liked it.
Great video, always nice to see whats been happening on the PLR .Did notice the track maintenance gang has a bit of work ahead of it clearing plant growth from the right of way.
A constant battle. No sooner is it done than it needs redoing 😕
Wonderful as always!
Lovely, just lovely. A great story, well told and videoed. I bet you had a "few" hours of editing to get that together! Well worth it. :) W
Charming, a cracking video and narration too.
My father's SM32 line is based on the premise of a preserved/restored line, so although there's weathering, there's more spit and polish. I always prefer the down at heal in service look though.
Another benefit of modelling a down at heel railway is there's no need to clear the moss off the track - in fact I try to encourage it ...... 😃
That 'Sharpie' is a thing of beauty, along with the handsome Black, Hawthorn tank. The PLR loco livery is a decidedly plain green, nice shade of colour, worn well by the motive power fleet, but I do wonder if passenger oriented engines ought to be lined?
I have tried lining some locos with Trimline tape but I'm not too sure about the outcome. I wish I had the skills to do a proper lining job.
@@rikbennett9 have you tried using waterslide transfers? Use them with warm water, some Micro-Sol & Micro-Set, it can be very convincing at the end. Bit fiddly, takes practice, but rewarding.
I might give it a try.
Absolutely stunning - all of it! Say, are the 'Train-staff' and 'passengers' made by yourself too?
The vast majority are bought from various suppliers. I have made a couple myself from Fimo, but they aren't that good
Been waiting for this
Have you had any problems with any of the 3D printed scenic's melting in the heat?
Hi. No, nothing has melted but a couple of items which I've left out all year have warped a little bit. If you compare the Bickerton station nameboard at 8:52 on this video taken in 2021 with a similar view of it taken in 2023 ( ruclips.net/video/1gw7BBvSkxs/видео.html - at 10:00 ) you can see it has sagged a little in the middle. But other things which have been left outside (eg the station fencing and the level crossing gates) seem to have survived. The rolling stock and locos are, of course, stored indoors between session and, so far, I've not detected any warpage.
@@rikbennett9 that's great to know. I've been pretty much thinking that I should only buy resin products for outdoors, but it sounds like I could get away with a certain amount of plastic, especially if it's in the shade.
