Maxitrak have recently uploaded several videos of a new 10.25" gauge railway in China they have been working on. The two locos are rather nice battery electric "models" of Prince and Taliesin from the Ffestiniog. Videos (hopefully) below:

Excellent!!

Was I mistaken but with a heavy train like that I could not see any evidence of line braking down the train.

Nope, you're right John, no continuous braking. It could probably be assumed that the line is essentially level and that trains will run at walking pace or not much more.

Interesting line though.

Cheers,

Looks like a very boring ride. Was anyone on the train smiling?

But I will say that the scale/gauge suits the Ffestiniog stock quite well.
