What a great model this is. The scenic work is fantastic and does not look at all contrived as so many "figure eight " type layouts do. A perfect balance of space and proportion. The filming and in particular editing was also top quality with great pace and timing 👌 In a word , superb.
Beautifully done 009 layout!! Exquisite scenery, weathering, etc... If your layout is portable, definitely consider bringing it to a few of the 009 sponsored NG exhibitions if there are any local to you. You'd likely win some awards with it. Thanks for sharing!
Wrong scale for me nowadays. My days on the 009 Society management team/committee (as hon. secretary) date back to the 1970's. But what an excellently developed and modelled layout, which appears to run as good as it looks. Well done.
Your 009 gauge layout looks beautiul!!! It's made me want to build a 009 gauge layout. All of your locomotives and rolling stock look amazing too. I love all of the scenery you have put onto your layout. In another video would you be able to show your full layout? Keep up the great work :D
@@davidsheriff8989 it’s a OO9 gauge layout so utilises the same 1/76 scale houses, vehicles and people as a OO gauge layout. I believe that HO gauge is 1/87 scale. N gauge is 1/148 scale.
Absolutely fantastic You've captured the purpose of narrow gauge perfectly, I'm guessing that the second is onboard sound chip, now are you using peco eletrofrog 12" radius points and a final question what size is your baseboard please as I'm just starting out again and ive got ideas but nothing fixed plan wise 😊😢
Thanks for your kind comments, glad you like the layout. The loco is sound-fitted by Bachmann. I have used the Peco 12” radius electrofrog points SL-E491 and 492 throughout. The baseboard is 5 feet by 2 feet 3 inches. Good luck with your layout 😀😀
you have a stunning layout there, i had the same issue last year with one of my points luckily i hadn't ballasted the track yet so it wasn't to bad, keep up the good work and i look forward to the next update. Tom
Its eerie seeing the place deserted as if aliens had abducted everyone except two men sat on benches. Pleased to see you fixed the point problem though and look forward to seeing more running on this beautiful layout in the not too distant future. One question though, what size is the baseboard for this layout?
It's sad to hear about the damaged point and I hope you manage to fix it soon but I have to say that this model railway looks beautiful, this has made me want to build my own 009 gauge model railway at somepoint. It's interesting to see the layout of the track. I love this model railway.
Hi Mark, sorry but I don't understand what you mean about the sleepers. I have used Peco set track and flexible track on the layout but have not modified the track in any way.
@@Gwenen-009 They look kind of wide compared to still photos of Peco track on Peco's website. Maybe it's a video camera side effect; in 'Murica we say "you know the camera adds 10 pounds."
This is becoming addictive! such time,skill, effort and imagination has gone into this layout it’s fantastic can I ask what has gone inside your walls on the incline section to make them look thick and what are your wall tops made from, thanks sorry for all the questions I. Just hoping to some extent I can build something half as nice but it’s my first attempt so any help would be appreciated
Thanks again for your kind comments. I'll try to explain the method, which would be easier if RU-vid allowed photos to be added to comments! The polystyrene inclines have 2mm cork glued on the top and sides, so they are completely covered. Have a look at the video called Testing Some Pointwork to get the idea. I bought a pack of Cork Expansion Strips (for laminate floors etc) which are very flexible. I glued these on top of the cork so they lined up with the cork on the sides. Both sides were then covered with the embossed wall covering. I then put coping stones made from card on the top of the wall. I hope that makes sense, let me know if you need any more help.
Thanks for your kind comments, glad you like the layout. I used the Woodland Scenics ST1413 Woodland Scenics 4% x 2' Incline Starter 1" Elevation, ST1408 Woodland Scenics 2" x 2' Long. Riser and ST1407 Woodland Scenics 1" x 2' Long. Riser for my inclines. Hope that helps.
I am beginning my journey in 009 gauge so I’ve seen a lot of layouts on u tube and around the west midlands at exhibitions and I must say I’ve never seen one as nice as yours the layout looks superb can I ask what do you use as walls around your incline track please put more videos up it’s amazing thanks
@@SamuelMartin-mo5si I used the Woodland Scenics ST1413 Woodland Scenics 4% x 2' Incline Starter 1" Elevation, ST1408 Woodland Scenics 2" x 2' Long. Riser and ST1407 Woodland Scenics 1" x 2' Long. Riser for my inclines. Hope that helps.
Great track plan and modeling! I like the continuous running and options for operations. What spacing do you generally use between tracks, such as passing sidings and parallel spurs off the main line?
Thanks for your kind comments, glad you like the layout. I don't use a set spacing for the tracks. As long as two trains have enough room to pass each other, then that's fine. The space is also somewhat dictated by the angle of the points / turnouts. In this scale, the tracks can be quite laid close together.
A fabulous video of a wonderful model railway. To me it evokes the Ashover Light Railway despite the Southern livery on the loco and the vans being L&B. Super stuff !
Great video again, loved the whistle when it passed the engine shed and went into the tunnel/under the bridge. I wonder if Joe's cafe sells Dylington Custard ....cheers James 🙂👍
Way to go, Sid! Way to go! Keep up the good work, little guy! Such a cute little engine, I love Baldwins. At least, I think I do, I'm not an expert but I haven't seen a Baldwin I didn't like. Some video feedback, I think for video's with slow moving trains, like this, it'd help to add some sound effects, such as birds or the rustling of trees, y'know? Keep up the good work, man. You've got a wonderful layout.
A super result - very impressed there is so little "camera shake". Is that testament to the quality of your track laying skills? Putting a camera onto a model train is something I could only dream of when I had a layout 50 years ago. Now you can do it wirelessly for £12. Incredible.
Fascinating drivers eye view. My own under construction 4'x2' oo9 layout is strongly based on Gwenen though I didn't realise there was an extra loop hiding at the back of the layout!
Thanks for your comments, glad you like the video. Putting in the hidden passing loop enables me to run an extra train. I look forward to seeing your layout in due course.
