Welcome to Mouldy Raspberry. The channel details the construction of my model railway, the Yorkshire Dales Model Railway (YDMR). The layout is set in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England in the late 1950s.
Just a caution, Lewis. Lead is very bad for children to handle. I believe it has been outlawed in shot in many places in the US. Steel shot is not quite as heavy, but will do the job. And if you have no children around your railway, adults arenot as susceptable to lead poisoning. When are you going to have canines represented on your railway? Are none available on your side of the pond? Lastly, you have greatly improved the look of your locos by shortening those drawbars!
Haha “pretty much done” love it, the wishful thinker. Good (positive) development with the black 5, that spring could have caused a lot of grief for Hornby. All up a great episode, thanks so much
Brilliant work. The locos look excellent. Can I ask what paint you’ve used on the chimney/smoke box area of the locos to dull it down? It looks brilliant.
First model railway video i have managed to get my wife to watch partly through! Your spaniel is a delightful companion, she particularly liked his wet nose saying hello, and then watching the trains come and go! A very well behaved and handsome dog! I watched the rest of the vid for the train couplings and V2.
Amazing that a manufacturer would allow these to go on the shelf without being able to operate them. Shows how they view the customers, alot of collectors afterall would just never run them 😢 If you are worried about superglue strength, add bicarb of soda. Used it to fix class 31 mazac rotted chassis loads and it becomes really solid
Great insight to your modifications, which brings us to the "each to him/herself" when it comes to modifying the models,i do that myself, which in a way gets less if the model is more pricey. Im speaking under correction fro here on. When the models are being developed then fabricated in the production process, i guess those involved has taken several factors into account such as how models' performance compare to that of actual trains and rolling stock. Articulation could argueably one of the critical consideration, hence the large gaps at coupling of coaches to one another as well as loco/tender coupling and other combination. On the other hand( i do it often myself) is to reduce the gaps, yet being mindful of taki. ng the curve without climbing off the tracks. So if it works we leave it at that. But whilst doing the modification and it fails persistently, it can make us realize why the models are made in this way in the first place. And i agree, the smaller gaps are certainly more appealing and realistic. Manufactures can and should look into these considerations when developing, making and testing the models as such. After all,we live in a time of far better opportunities and resources. Just my 5cnts of comment😅
Nice tip about the lead shot for additional weight. As with most things, if you add "model railway" to the title it increases the cost. Worth looking for non-branded shot. Cheers
Aww Poopee cute. For those who dont have access to "Liquard Lead," use lead shot, which is essentially the same stuff, it might even be cheaper if you purchase it by the Kg.
Hi Lewis nice to see the work horses doing there stuff, very nice to see a bit of shunting. That was i nice mixed bag the W.D. was pulling great video Lewis thank you.
As always love your videos! Thats a real nice set of non-gang way coaches. Never really liked the Black 5 but becoming quite a custom to them now must say and looks splendid on your layout :) Tom
@@MouldyRaspberry I'm actually starting to design (hoping to build this winter) a portable layout of a country station with small loco depo and siding, obv different but a similar feel to what your layout has inspired me to, any advice on designing something like that?
The austerity was just as I remember them, apart from their cranky motions. I remember seeing Black five Glasgow Yeomanry many times too. Wonderful, truly wonderful.❤️
Noted model railroader Frank Ellison built the Delta Lines in New Orleans, Lousiana, an American O scale model railway. He promulgated the idea that the model railway represented the theater stage, scenery the props, and trains the actors! I am struck by how well you represent that concept in these vids. Your actors come onstage, say their lines, act their parts, and then proceed offstage! The locomotives, of course, are the stars, and have the most prominent parts! Take a bow, writer, producer and director Lewis!
@@MouldyRaspberry Heart breaking to pull it apart. I'm going in the attic and I will have to take down the layout in the spare bedroom. I just need everything on it.
