My little helper, Robin, the train/bird spotter

You're lucky, normally they find a perch where they can lift there tail and poop all over the rolling stock

Lovely - the stream, the natural growth, the train, the robin! Perfect.

You'll need to build a new coach to accommodate him
Is the sound dubbed on? Super whistle

 

[owlpool]

Yes - 'borrowed' the sound from one of the videos I took the other week at Statfold. I think this was Trangkil No. 4 passing with a short train of two coaches and a truck. The distant whistle at the end was taken from another video at Statfold - the loco was a long way away but sounds almost next the the camera. I think I should have put some reverb on it to make it sound more distant.

Didn't know you had a stream on your layout !
Haven't managed to get my local robin to feature in any of the videos as yet.....

Ohhh yes. One of the first features I put in, after a promise I had made to my daughter about twenty years ago when we were walking near Scafell Pike - you know, "One day we'll have a little stream in the garden like that". Adds that certain something.

Just by chance Robin put in an appearance. I'll bet if I tried to entice him to appear he wouldn't co-operate.

That weas great. The stream has a lot of charm. Something I need to do on my line.

It does add that something extra.
But my 92yo mother complains that it makes her want to go to the toilet!
