Thanks, yes it is gauge 1 & 3

The extension is at the other end of the railway, under the bridge although I think there are long term plans to go in the opposite direction as well. I filmed the track at the start because it wasn’t there last time I visited.

The track laid from the platform to the buffet cars is a continuation to our new permanent platform and station which will be built about 50 metres beyond the buffet. A lot of digging out and construction work needs to be done before a platform can be built and of course money is a big part of this as we rely purely on ticket sales and donations to finance the projects. All workers including the management are volunteers who give what time we can when we can. Consequently projects often spread out over years rather than months, but we do what we can in our allotted time space. We have a brilliant workforce of little numbers who literally are Jack of all trades including myself who runs not only the carpentry Side but engineering maintenance as well . Any locals watching this who could give some time at the railway would be gratefully received .

Yes it is a very nice peaceful place. Hopefully they will get back to the outskirts of Helston in the not too distant future. The viaduct would be great for marketing the line as it’s quite an impressive structure.

Hi it’s 45/64mm dual gauge track .

@@damasw Wow, so standard and narrow gauge in 15mm? I’m very envious!!

Not sure. From what I can gather they have cleared about 1/2 a mile of track bed. They probably need to raise funds for the track also.

Thanks, Yes, it’s all due for a refresh when I have the time.

Thanks

Because it's designed to burn coal.

@damasw It’s a bit of a misleading title, given no coal is burnt in this video. Cheers

I bet that was a good day. I recently drove a standard class 5mt at the Great Central Railway.

No, it was made by a company called Garden Railway Specialists [GRS]

At 3.40 it's a 5 inch gauge model of a GT3 locomotive powered by a Wren turbines turboshaft.

It's not a train, it's a model of stationery steam engine.

Shallow Saxons are playing with traction engines and steam rollers mostly not trains.

Yes, with a 153 on the back.

@@damasw What types of couplings do these (and other BR DMU sets) use that are interoperable? They’re a far cry from the classic buffers and screw couplings that I know of.

They use BSI automatic couplers.

Yes, they were discontinued about 8 years ago.

@@damasw thank you :)

Thanks, more are on the way!
