Gordon, at full throttle, is there danger of the composition flying off the track?
Cheers!

Thanks Bill.  We're having our friends Chris and Peter round tomorrow evening and Peter will bring his steam loco and some rolling stock so we can devise a system for running two trains.  Basically this juts means a passing loop at Pond's End.

Some more video links.

First, a continuation of the earlier one.  The video quality seems a bit fast in places, maybe it's been compressed or something in uploading it.





Then a driver's eye view, there and partly back.  The operation of the train went perfectly first time but the camera didn't work.  This run ends rather abruptly after the engine went into "jerky reverse" mode just as it got onto the Pond's End section and partly derailed.



And, finally, one with a camera balanced on top of the cab.  On the interest of the camera's safety this ends at Beachtown where, on stopping, the camera lurched forward and almost came off.
