Stour Valley Dream - Drivers eye view


Fen End Pit

664 views

My son bought me a little present for my birthday, a tiny video camera.  It fits nicely on a flat wagon and conforms to British loading gauge in 4mm scale.  The inevitable result has been a Youtube video showing a run through the station.

It shows up my dodgy track building rather well and I need to get better with the video editing software to fix the colour balance a bit better. I did try the 'black and white old film' effect which is really rather fun but I thought I'd show you the original version!

 

 

With Fen End Pit going to the March show on 2nd I'll have to work out how to strap the camera onto a 16mm narrow gauge wagon for a trip between the works and the pit!

 

Hope you like it.

I don't think your track looks too bad at all. There is a noticeable kink at about 37 seconds, at the toe of the training point which you might be able to correct since it isn't ballasted yet, but otherwise OK. The key thing is stuff stays on. Hard enough, itself, in P4 from my experience.

I'm intrigued by the short, curved siding under the bridge. Is it just a lay-by siding?

Yes the siding under the bridge was a layby. It ought to be about double the length but the room is the size it is. 

 

I'll have a look at that bit of track. The camera is rather good at showing things up
