Remember your old 009 layout videos ? Whatever happened to skarloey . Dolgoch was converted and you had 2 double fairies and an England and Baldwin . Tho what happened to the skarloey railway No1
Still have Skarloey, apart from a repaint into proper skarloey railway Scarlett and blue stripes the loco will not be altered. There may be a new 009 video in the future…
No I will keep the loco as it is as there is a Talyllyn being produced by Bachmann which I will purchase although I may wait to see if they produced the current livery of great Eastern blue that she currently wears.
Just wanted to say the time I've had when I first had this podcast appear on my feed has been a blast. Thank you both for your time and entertaining show, and I hope to hear you both again soon. Roll on season 2!
@@WesternSignalman as much as I admire the skills of the likes of Chadwick and everard I do find some of the technical aspects of their layouts a bit baffling. I’ve no idea what they’re on about sometimes. Your builds I can relate to.
Thanks I do try to make things easy to understand (because I forget how I do things and I can come back and watch the video myself) and I also want to show my mistakes to show just because you muck up doesn’t mean you can’t recover
I live in the New Forest and would never get to see these layouts. Your commentary is clear and interesting, which makes for good viewing. Looking forward to your next video of an exhibition too far from my home.
Thanks for the nice video, happy to see my layout without the hand of god - well on 0 gauge this almost never happens. Only thing to correct is the layout name - it is Frimingham and not Framingham. Regards Vecchio aka Gerhard Novak
Fortunately that mistake is only on the description so I can easily amend that for you. My boy really enjoyed your layout he went back several times to record it on his camera
Thanks. I love the honesty showing glitches and resolving them. 👍 most RU-vidrs make out that everything they do works perfectly.. we all know thats not true.
Love your dolgoch conversion videos! Really wished I’d watched these videos before I sold my kit as I struggled badly in doing mine. Thankfully use the fourdees kits, but still would’ve been nice to have accomplished the LRS kit conversion.
Looking forward to heading to this exhibition this year. Will you be there again and will you bring any podcast coasters? You do a great podcast and as a newbie to this amazing hobby i love to listen every week.
Try testing the rails by applying power to them with a couple of wires from your controller to the top of the rails if the power works then I would say it’s your connection to the track it may have become insulated with the glue if it doesn’t then maybe your rails need another clean. Hope that helps
@modelrailfan37 hot water but you risk the ballast glue lifting as well if you pour on too much. Some IPA alcohol (not Indian pale ale) can also attack the glue and you may be able to use a cocktail stick to try and clear it out. Alternatively solder dropper wires each side of the join and connect underneath the baseboard or solder a bridge wire across the joins
The xpt is very similar, the power cars are slightly shorter, they where produced by comeng under licence from british rail engineering, for nsw there coaches where brand new designs by comeng.
Your patience knows no bounds, given the other projects you have completed to a very high standard I’m looking forward to seeing how this one progresses
Always interesting to see how somebody else builds their layout!👍 The Colbalt motors look very similar to Tortoise - never needed to dismantle one even after two decades. 🙂 _If you want an interesting urban viaduct to model, take a look at New Viaduct Street in Manchester where railway and road both pass over the Ashton Canal with all three passing over the River Medlock. Adjacent to this the road and railway pass over Metrolink….._
Thank you very much for giving my grandson's Dylington Model Railway channel a shout-out. It really is very much appreciated. We're all about having fun with our modelling, and as you may have seen, Dylan has just embarked on his own a 009 layout build. Thank you again...cheers James and Dylan 🙂👍
@WesternSignalman thank you. My grandson (12) spent hours on the stop-motion, ten hours filming the Dukes of Hazzard one, and then there was the editing. There will be more updates on his 009 layout, which he will be doing 99% of the work on....cheers James 🙂👍
@@WesternSignalman It is really informative as always. BTW, I think I might have heard your voice in the background of the first video on Brockwell Lane's demu video. Is it you? First layout
Grosmont (NYMR) has the advantage of a connection to the NR Esk Valley line, which occasionally has the HST Midland Pullman and Whitby Flyer steam specials. And it’s good for running Harry Potter or Indiana Jones Nazi trains!
I actually managed to get to the DEMU show this year. There were some brilliant items of rolling stock on show, not to mention the layouts themselves! Apart from the loopy- tunes at Sutton Coldfield station on Sunday lunch time the show was well worth a visit. Great video👍 Cheers John b 😎
@@WesternSignalman I always enjoy jour video's, you even made this dull modern stuff exiting🤣… All jokes aside, I should have known with the title of the show "DEMU" that's it all about new stuff, but I was not familiar with this show and it's specific concept, mia culpa.
Loving the MRRP, your hosting combination works really well and you're finding your stride. The interview within Various Multiple Units was especially good.
Brilliant video. Really enjoyed the commentary as well. It’s good to hear a bit of context when watching these exhibition videos. The yellow vehicle in the shed on Fenwick TMD is a mobile maintenance train. I’ve worked on one a couple of times myself. Brilliant piece of kit!
Thank you putting together a super video and commentary, being on holiday means I had to miss out on a visit missing seeing many top class modelled layouts. A few which I hope to book in the future with a invite to the Stafford Exhibition Terry
Thank you for the video. As usual, going to the trouble of narrating the show adds a massive amount to the video and makes a potentially dry and very difficult to bother relating to series of images far more enjoyable.
Interesting video - thank you. 👍 In terms of the delightful Waddon Marsh layout and the polyblock gauging train, the Queen Marys were used as viewing platforms by RA&G staff. Initially Lab 15 was used and when this wasn't available, we used Lab 1 (if I recall with a long pantograph well) coupled to a Mk3 sleeper coach borrowed from Hornsey. There were multiple cameras mounted on the Mk3 coach and on both Queen Marys with video recorders in the Lab coach. Can recall a tight 'Down' platform at Riddlesdown dislodging one of the lateral cameras on the Mk3. One of the Queen Marys was the converted LBSCR Elevated Electrics Motor Coach. The three rings of polystyrene blocks (and blocks underneath each stepboard) represented a composite maximum kinematic envelope for Networkers, 319, 455, Sprinters (etc) and the proposed Eurostar stock. One interesting run was between Redhill and Guildford - two Queen Marys, Mk3 sleeper and Lab 1 behind a solo class 73 on diesel (with signalmen under strict instruction not to check the train) - a slow 20mph crawl up from Deepdene but we made it! Then there was an irate station manager at Victoria who hadn't read his WON and only found out about our arrival when the Lab 1 generators and coal stoves in each of the Queen Marys set off the station fire alarms - such memories.
I did wonder what the train was I assumed from the shape around the park 3 it’s was for gauge testing, I remember someone at work saying something similar was carried out in the Heathrow tunnels for testing gauging clearances for the eursostar stock. Thanks for sharing a great story 👍
@@WesternSignalman The formation was hauled around much of the Southern as a quick means of locating the potential fouling points which would clip (sometimes knock off) the polystyrene. Those locations were subsequently followed up with site inspections and gauging measurements - most were clear. However, can recall the WR getting upset as their newly upgraded platform 3 at Reading (before heading down to Basingstoke) dislodged the polystyrene - it wasn't actually foul as the blocks were set for worst case at maximum line speed. Remember, this was before RTC Derby had a reliable structure gauging train.
