Great video! Impressive layout!
I never asked but is this layout track powered or battery R/C ???
Dons reply...
Vic, it started off as track powered, but the drop out from the trees, and the general leaf debris,
OH and windfall apples & plums, tended to cover the rails with an insulating coat, so have gone over to battery power
The Garratt has its own onboard batteries ( ex wheelchair)
T Urn & Barcelona, with no room for all the gubbins on board, share the use of a battery control wagon, the one in the vid with the new black tarpualin on.
But I will be making some more control wagons of widely different shapes to vary what they pull, by being interchangable
