Making Tracks 4 - Pete's Passion Project, up close and personal. 

Wow what an achievement both in the real construction and in Petes wonderful model.He always puts so much passion in these builds.Roll on August and Chester Cathedral cannot wait to see it.Once again thank you Pete and all the Railnuts.👍👍

It was a joy watching Pete working away describing the scene and giving the story of the cuttings construction and its history along with the modern changes that have taken place. Pete show a great passion in what he does putting things across to the viewer. Dave thanks for all these videos, I think I've watched them all. I have picked up a lot of info and tips from the discussions. As I couldn't get to all those exhibitions these videos have brought making tracks to me at home.

Hi Dave and Pete 😊 What a fantastic chit chat. I could listen to Pete forever 👍🏻 we’ve got our tickets can’t wait 🤩

Great video guys . A very passionate and interesting chat 😀. Keep up the good work 👏

i like peter passion to the hobby will nice layout all the layouts he build have bin nice wit lots of time go in to and thanks four share the build of the layout you are doing thanks lee

Often gaze at The Great Wall of Todmorden and contemplate about the sheer height, effort, teamwork and workmanship that went into this huge arc and angled back retainer, built alongside the Rochdale canal to establish a stable embankment to carry the Leeds to Manchester railway line above the canal and through the Calder Valley. I can’t help but, wonder at the skills embraced to complete such a mammoth task for just one small section and part of the railway. I try to imagine the forgotten, unsung individuals that must have given their all to achieve such a feat of engineering back then. It’s almost impossible to think how that ever happened but, here we have these magnificent examples. Of course nearby, there are girder bridges and huge stone viaducts that all sit perfectly into the hillsides and bend, curve and twist as if they all just appeared naturally, like the canals were dug too, all for some others to place trackwork on or, fill with water. This wall, towering above you from the tow path below it, and viaducts too, as if simply carved out of one piece of solid granite on the road turn off to Baccup below because they look so solid. Almost going unseen. Every huge stone perfectly cut, placed and faced. It’s incredible and these are everywhere. Standing silently, bearing witness. Standing firm, in testament to a bygone era, as I pay my respects🙏

186 years old, the line is today! Wow

Fantastic!!! Ive learned a lot and will be back in August for a day to enjoy all your company at Chester cathedral..!!!😮

I love Pete’s passion, it is catching and I’m inspired. A superb modeller.

Always interesting but surely Everard Junction ends in blocks of flats and shops.

Always so much thanks for the video . I always feel so much part of the final build. Hoping to travel to see a layout one day. Thank you team

thanks once again really interesting what a insight into railways and what a model this will be . really wonderful to watch this video Paul

Any reason why all 4 lines when it's just the 2 for Northampton? Would like to see the split-level as it really is. But it is a magnificent job all the same, makes for a talking point to the audience who comes to Chester.

For an excellent scenic ender with a row of shops, check out EverardJunction's hiatus and how they did their station (EDIT: it's based on Ealing Broadway Station). Currently on a hiatus due to moving, but they're probably my favorite UK rail modeler on RU-vid. Absolute exquisite attention to detail.

So on the catenary front for this srction of the layout will each end have ramps to guide the pantographs under and off the overhead "bars" or "rails"?

Pete,get an airbrush,oh and a new pair of jeans!
