I reckon it was an animal assault. An inquisitive magpie or a stroppy squirrel, perhaps?
-
I have learned a lesson from this video. When I have a garden railway, I am going to have guardrails on the sides where there is risk of my trains falling off the track from a height. I recommend installing guard rails about 2 inches high. It will save a lot of pain in the long run.

Pleased you were able to fix your beloved 40, Dan! Nice model. I suspect squirrel trespass as the causeβ¦ π€

Hi Dan. At least you had a new bit of content. Glad the 40 is ok. Could it have been a bit of foliage or a small twig that you couldn't see. Well done with the recovery, loved the crane. Thumbs up thumped π .... Pete....

Iβm this incident and rapidly learning from it if I was u I would be rapidly installing side protector barriers to prevent locos falling off the boards. Just helpful info. For you Dan. Good luck with repairing. These are so delicate nowadays and akward to mend
-
Love the fact you got the breakdown crew out. Brilliant.πππ
-
Definitely look into installing safety barriers or guardrails or something along those lines- the last thing you need is for more giant squirrel attacks
-
Brambles and nettles, great for the wildlife and lots of beautiful blackberries. Don't understand why people have a problem with native plants.
-
I hope the driver was OK.
-
That could have been a lot worse, At least the 40 survived to tell the story.
-
Rather than Trash to Track it was an episode of 'Track to Trash, Back to Track', still an entertaining vid :)
-
Hi Dan Great video sometimes locomotives have mind of their own Lol
-
One of my favourite models jumped out of the track similar to yours. Just go and check your track gauge in that area.

Crewe Works did a good speedy job on the accident repairs... π

Disaster has struck the 40! i wish you luck getting it repaired, it could have been a small leaf or a rock that did it, dropped by an animal, most likely a tiny rock that dislodged the front wheel and it caught on something.

The Whistler takes a tumble Dan, love the garden railway Ktf J
-
all those nettles and brambles...... i feel a bit of gardening coming on..... you know it makes sense..... before it spreads over the tracks
-
Trim weeds brambles etc right to ground level and you can find all the little missing bits
-
Glad you got it running again! The class 24 sounds amazing, what speaker & sound chip combo has it got in it? Cheers!
