Pdr - The Whole Line From The Brakevan

[owlpool]

It's an 8 minute ride, from the shed to the top and back.
It's now effectively a wiggly single line with a long loop at either end.
The motive power for this trip is the battery Stainz, pulling a rake of tippers it's happy to go all afternoon.
Light and shade confuses my phone camera a bit, I'm afraid

Nice run. Very smooth start from the Station Shop, your Battery set up is certainly superb. House and Solar Panels help with Compass orientation. Indeed a very long and winding Road. Reckon that would make a good song title!

Thanks Jon - the Deltang setup purchased from GeRik is very compact, very controllable and works a treat

A lovely film, thanks for sharing it.

 

[owlpool]

Thanks. I think I needed more weight in the brake van

I like the sunshine angling across the line at the summit station -really evocative. What's the height climbed from bottom to top -it looks like quite a pull!

Thank you - that low light also troubled the light sensor in my phone camera
It's about a 2 metre height gain from the old station near the steam-up sidings to the summit in the top tunnel. Quite a pull, as you say: a steamer can do about 2 round trips on one fill.
