[lone ranger]

Oxygen, oxygen, be heck thats well impressive

 

[PhilP]

Wow!
What is the back-story to the site there? - Is it ex-industrial?

I bet track-cleaning can be a bit of a challenge!
:wits::admire:

Vertigo Mountain Railway - phew - hope you don't get any strong gusts of wind and I wouldn't like to clean those rails by hand! Brilliant.

 

[Madman]

Do your passengers know the name of the stop at the top ? Could it be "Nose Bleed" ? :thinking:

 

[trammayo]

Wow! Very bold, very, very bold! Truly impressive

 

[Graham ASH]

Thats an amazing video of a quite amazing feat !! Well done. I would like something like that but as a method of getting my geared locos up an incline from Sawmill to collect logs in the woods, well done again

 

[KeithT]

I got a nose bleed!
My miserable little rack section tips the loco's off. Obviously, I am doing something v wrong.:-

 

[Gizzy]

I hate heights, but I was impressed by the video.

The chippy who constructed that decking base must have nerves of steel....

 

[KentKeith]

Great .....but what about a couple of double turn-back sidings so up and down trains can pass each other?

 

[Phil]

Most levels have sidings and passing loops Keith..

 

[Phil]

Covered in snow..

A decent view of most of the rack railway..

 

[Rhinochugger]

Let us know what you think..

I think you need to trim the bushes - that's what I think

and another thing...................

The Snowdon Moutnain Railway fitted a steel channel around the track and the locos with gripper lugs to stop any more locos leaping off into the abyss after the loss of Loco No1 on the opening day :-:-:-

 

[tramcar trev]

Brilliantly used site. I've never seen anything like it. What sort of camera did you use?

 

[Phil]

Used my IPhone 5 taped to the top of the loco, the video Is in 720p HD I believe, you may laugh but it works
