Specially liked the smoothly accelerating from the platform once the signal had been pulled off/switched. I could listen to the "clickety-clack" all day. Thanks Edward, yes there is something very therapeutic about Trains going over Rail joints, its nice and relaxing to hear when doing other jobs. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 And so to the last of the 3 Running Session Videos. I hope you've enjoyed them as a little break from the norm, but fear not, I should be back on Friday with a Layout update and more running I hope. PLUS, I might remember to put the door section back scene in when filming. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent and all very sensible - very different from the way Southampton Central was a decade or so back where a petty, jumped-up, so called 'supervisor' attempted to throw you off the station if you so much as took a camera out of your bag, even if you had a suitable train ticket in your pocket. (It has got much better since then - I expect, and hope. that he was sacked for 'lack of customer care'.) 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
