Hello everyone, welcome to the April 2024 update on my West Highland heritage line, Dunromin! In the past 2 months the landscape has really come together, mountains have formed and ballast has been added, let's take a look at the progress!
Please give ‪@forwardsignal‬ a watch and sub!

Outstanding scenic work, and what a bargain pack of wagons! Love that 😊. Thank you for sharing 👍🚂

@Proper_Chuffed 2 месяца назад

Thank you so much for the kind words, I am very new to scenics but thoroughly enjoying it 😎 keep well and looking forward to your next video! Hylt

Loving the progress you’ve been making and the autumnal colour palette will be amazing. When I saw the rocks around the line running up to the distillery, the West Highland line outside Mallaig instantly came to mind. Really feels like you’re capturing the spirit of the Highlands!

Thank you so much Martyn, that’s ideally what I’m going for! And if that’s the image that comes to mind for you then I think I’m doing something right! 😅 appreciate you popping in my friend.

Hey Paul, thank you very much, yes indeed some decent rolling stock for a bargain price! 😎

Wow looks great Hylt, you have made some amazing progress. Loving the iron ore looking ballast already so I’m sure it will look the part once all weathered down. Great stuff. David

@Proper_Chuffed 3 месяца назад

Thanks so much David, I do need to weather it down a fair bit, far too RED 😅 thanks so much for watching

@themodeltrainshop174 3 месяца назад

The line going up to the AA meeting is going to be stunning. Through those rocks, damn nice idea and well executed. Every touch of weathering and moss/shrubs is just going to enhance it more and more. Will bring static grass machine.

You are so right, it’s going to be a very tipsy train 😂 thanks Rinke

Nice update, Hylton. You're certainly making good progress with your layout, we're looking forward to seeing further updates as you go ... Cheers James 🙂👍

@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY 3 месяца назад

@Proper_Chuffed we're looking forward to following your progress. My grandson is building house kits ready for the 009 layout he is going to be building soon. He'll be filming and posting updates of that on his channel once he gets started, and probably adding photos to his community page as well... Cheers James 🙂👍

Hylt, you are outdoing yourself! The layout looks great, definitely don't feel you are.going to fast, sometimes enthusiasm is hard to come by! But also remember too much can lead to burnout ;) Enjoy it dude! And congrats on the cheap as chips rolling stock!

@Proper_Chuffed 3 месяца назад

You’re too kind James, thanks bro. Appreciate your positive feedback here. The enthusiasm is definitely not slowing down, I was a bit worried about my ballast but it seems I’ve managed to save it! Thanks again bro

@ChobertonJunction 3 месяца назад

Hey Hylt, great progress very envious of the space you have already can feel how great it will look when all the scenery is completed. Nice one on the rolling stock that is incredible.

@Proper_Chuffed 3 месяца назад

Thanks so much Tony, I actually wish I had built it different now that I’m here, should have utilized the space a bit better, but here we are 😂 thanks for watching!

@ChobertonJunction 3 месяца назад

Ah Hylt yes the eternal problem of finding something you wish you had done differently. I think if I was starting again I would also do things very differently but that is the fun of the hobby. There is always another layout in us.

@dinmorejunctionmodelrailway 3 месяца назад

Progress is good, Dunromin and build a model railway.

@Proper_Chuffed 3 месяца назад

Working on it 👌☺️

@stephenbamber7408 3 месяца назад

Some 'eratics' on the hill sides would help the look some. Good work.

@Proper_Chuffed 3 месяца назад

Not familiar with that term? 😂 could you elaborate? Thank you for the kind words

@stephenbamber7408 3 месяца назад

@@Proper_Chuffed Eratics are Variously sized rocks left behind after the ice age. They litter many hillsides across Scotland. Anywhere from say a fridge size to a full house, clearly smaller ones would also be left. Hope that helps. 🙂

@@stephenbamber7408 definitely! That’s a good little bit of info there Stephen, will look into adding them! 😊 thank you!

For a source of grain hoppers, see my comment on the video where you announced naming your layout.

@Proper_Chuffed 2 месяца назад

Thank you Dave, yes I did look into it :) I have some plans to sort them out, and thank you again. Hylt

@doubleodave 3 месяца назад

I like those rocks and all the pieces, they look great, that’s how I intended mine to be around the big tunnel but then fully didn’t consider the space and it’s a bit too tight now 🤯 Bargain little wagon set that too 👍 Out of curiosity you still watching my stuff or has it gone too daft now? (Be honest)

@Proper_Chuffed 3 месяца назад

They’re definitely the peak of my proficiency 😂 so anything beyond the damn rocks will be rubbish, bet! I realise if you’re asking this it’s because you haven’t had a comment from me for a while but sir! Do I have a story to make you feel special 😂 Recently had a work trip down to Cape Town, around a 3 hour flight one way, and you, my dear Dave, had the honor of being the only thing I watched both ways 😂 downloaded a stack and chuckled through the turbulence. But yes, to answer your question, haven’t missed one so far 👌

@doubleodave 3 месяца назад

@@Proper_Chuffed haha cheers, no need to comment on them just checking they’ve not gone too bad as I was starting to wonder myself! On a side note I like those rocks and bits that mush I’d happily have a full layout of just a line going through them with nothing else and I still think it would be a winner 👍👍👍👌

@Proper_Chuffed 3 месяца назад

@@doubleodave nah don’t doubt yourself, you’ve got a winning formula Dave 🙌 actually, wanted to chat about an idea at some point, do me a massive favour and drop me a mail on properchuffedrailways@gmail.com when you have time 👍 Agreed, think they would make an epic rugged terrain, maybe on the next one then!

@stephendavies6949 3 месяца назад

I think your, "I don't know what I'm doing" statement is rapidly becoming erroneous!

@Proper_Chuffed 3 месяца назад

You’re too kind Stephen, I assure you however, I still really don’t know, my biggest problem right now is the ballast colour, I just can’t get it right! 😣

@stephendavies6949 3 месяца назад

@Proper_Chuffed As you say, ballast colours were (and to some extent still are) dependent on the colour of the local stone used. OOBill spoke about this when he was ballasting his new layout. And since his is based in Scotland, perhaps that could be of some help? I think I recall him sharing how he came up with the colour he used. Frankly, for most of us, ballast colour is not crucial, but RU-vidrs like yourself have to think about how the colour will appear on camera. Other references on ballasting would be Chadwick & New Junction (who used pet gravel!). That Model Railway Guy also did a good video on the subject when building his last layout.
