Of scenic interest?

[jonte]

Although without a specific interest in narrow gauge, I stumbled across the below and couldn’t help admiring the scenery, considering it of interest perhaps to those of a scenic bent:

Hedges, trees (some in leaf, others a little bare), dead grass located nearest to the rails, shrubbery, embankments…………..

Yes, it’s Continental, but the arrangement of these features is universal.

What a lovely video. Thanks for posting, Jonte

What I do find slightly unusual is that, whilst the railway appears to run through undulating countryside (implying gradients), there is no evidence of any continuous brakes on the locos or carriages.

Indeed not, Nigel, nor any facing point locks (possibly the ground frames are locked, but if the operating rods break or become disconnected.....), inconsistent approach to whistling for un-gated crossings, etc. Clearly not operating under the ORR or Railway Inspectorate!

Nice. I’m sure @NHY 581 will be entertained.

They seem to slow down and whistle on blind bends, as if they think there might be a train coming the other way!

It was very useful, as I'm in the early stages of doing scenery on what I hope will be a grass and weed infested O-16.5 micro layout.
