Friends,

The First first is my first EVER video!

My second First is my locomotive "William Shakespeare" , still with safety labels sticking to the name, runs a complete outside and raised track!

My Third First is that I have a track that ACTUALLY works ALL the way round!

My Fourth First is my first upload to You Tube!

It has taken nearly a year to get to this point and it brought tears to my eyes to see it actually happening!

The video looks better in full screen.

Well done Peter.
Looking forward to the video.

Thankyou, I really know what a labour of love means now!  Please try again, Peter.

Perfection Peter 

I do like all the bridges you have - superb 

Your William Shakespeare is fairly galloping round as well 

Well done and I hope this is the first of many videos 

cheers John.

Thankyou John, I REALLY appreciate your comments.  I just love bridges, if I had the money there wouldn't be ANY supported track other than by bridges!

It was so good to give the loco a run, I just left it doing it's thing for about 20 minutes, I have had it over a year but it has never run, in so many words!

If You Tube speeds up or I can reduce the size of the video, it is likely, this one took 38 minutes to upload!

Thankyou once again your interest is vital!  Peter.

Well done!

That is a fairly standard time for uploading a video to You Tube Peter.  What I normally do is set the video off uploading and go and do other things, whether that be on the computer or elsewhere.  There is nothing worse than waiting for a video to upload by sitting waiting on it, I also never give advance notice that a video is on its way as I find the uploading gremlins are sure to strike and cause the upload to fail.

I am not surprised you let your loco run for 20 minutes as it has taken you quite a while to get where you are with many setbacks along the way, so well done on your perseverance.  When I run locos I am very happy watching them go round as I find it very relaxing and hypnotic.

cheers John.

Congrats Peter on all 4 counts!

Great set of bridges.

Looking forward to the sequel.

Peter

Its great to see it all beginning to come together especially after all your trials and tribulations.

I'm still playing with the wiring.

Well done Peter!  We need more!!

Hows about with coaches?

Richard, thankyou very much!

I DID try with coaches but that presented another problem to solve!

They uncoupled every time as the loco is halfway up the incline!

I do not think it is the track because it is made up of (2) lengths of flexible, I suspect that there is a ruck in the underlay or that twerp has left a piece of sleeper or similar under the underlay!

Regards, Peter.

And the Oscar nomination for small screen award goes to...

Congrats Peter, there is something about getting a loco running round your track after such a load of work.  I also like your bridges and look forward to the next episode.

Congratulations Peter. Great to see the Brit running and I love the bridges.
I'm sure that with patience you will be able to solve the uncoupling problem.

Greta video some good bridges and track work
