I was sent this link and perhaps it may be interesting to the wider community.

Nice clip Doug. I hope that loco has four wheel drive though.

An interesting and thought provoking video. Getting quite interested in the idea of On30.

Thanks for posting Doug.

Super sound; scary sway

Interesting implementation of permissive block working and nice to see the chickens are "track trained"

Thanks for posting it.

Very interesting video of a narrow guage.

Also, the cameraman/woman must be quite brave. I would think the locos are not far off derailing and they are certainly being driven to the limit.

A deep flange to the wheels and a deep and hard steel rail, maybe ??.

and of course 4 wheel drive if necessary.

Waaah

Maybe they were at a safe distance & used a tripod ?

Definatley not fine flanges.

Excellent clip & thanks for the link Doug.

Be interesting trying to get that track replicated in model form - could be another project for BRITHO !

What a lovely video. I see they have managed to successfully replicate my track-laying skills in 1:1!

I don't know about Britho but I reckon there must be quite a few layouts out there who have already been there and done that. Use of MDF for baseboards in a damp garden shed will do it every time.

Excellent video by the way. 'Elf & safety would have kittens if they saw it though.

Note to self:- Don't travel by train when in China.

Do I suspect my name is being taken in vain? (again)

No the authorities get most upset.

OK, OK OK. Managed to do a quick edit to clarify my meaning.

Stoking the fires on these locos must be a challange, could easily miss the fire box with the way the loco rocks around, and that track must murder the frames and suspention on those engines, its amazing how they stay on the track. a very intresting clip, i wonder what rail track think of it ?

Excellent - thanks Doug

I imagine Railtrack/Network Rail, whatever they call themselves these days, would be quite jealous - to go by the standards of trackwork in my neck of the woods.

 

[poliss]

Were those chickens playing chicken?

And we moan about the sate of our railways, in fact looks very much like my track laying on the layout
