On Video: Explosive interlude…

In recent days more than ever I have found the quiet sanctuary of Paxton Road a welcoming embrace…

Wrapped up, contained within its form is a place I can visit when elsewhere feels overwhelming. I had been enjoying ‘The Beaten Track’ vol. 4 and one or two other random Scottish Railfreight books and the idea of using my recently completed Farish/TPM VBA to complete a short ‘explosives’ rake appealed… cobbling together this short train I decided to share the experience with you all - and so the following four and a half minutes were a mindful practice for me - and could perhaps help those without a working layout at present, be present too?

As I share the video over first coffee this morning the 08 has already returned for the vans. It may only be a moment, as I say a ‘snatched’ one at that, but I enjoyed it. Looking back there is a second hand effect, watching has almost the same effect as the primary operation. Interesting! Anyhow, for what it’s worth we all seem to enjoy a visit to Paxton Road for any reason - so until next time, more soon…
