Hi Chris Hope the Biscuit phase has slightly dunked itself lol.. Many Thanks as always... A 6cm cardboard postal tube would make a great start for a N gauge Tube Station... All the best Garry

Thanks buddy - Cant beat a bit arc flashing - you could add a flash in a similar way to a chappy with a camera train spotting... Food for thought... Cheers Gazza

You're welcome! 👍

Many Thanks David, More is on the way - and so far it's looking good as I see.. I spoke to Fred this week and he mentioned your not feeling your best - all the warmest wishes buddy, Keep safe and look after yourself. All the best Garry

You and me both! lol Just finishing the shuttle line and on the 2nd station so its definitely on the list. Many Thanks

Thanks Paul ☺️ 👍

Thank you very much!

Your welcome Barry - its all to inspire and have more fun 😁 take care buddy 👍

Many thanks

Many Thanks 👍

lol thanks buddy very appreciated- station number two is on the build - So crazy times lol

Thank you for the compliment Paul, The brick work would in reality be a touch more cream, and yes I do agree with you on that as I had mentioned. In my memories from the 80's the station had a less modern twist in its time than today so the decor was bland and grubby -looking at my pictures etc, and the BR overground was just my representation as you understand. Personally the A38 EFE stock which is overpriced in my opinion would not be to scale to the Baker Street feel that I wanted to create, as the station caters more so for overground sub stock.. Plus, I certainly don't receive any salary through youtube to fund my hobby.. lol It's just a memory palace that stimulates my mental health.. But all said, that would bring it to life most definitely.... So If you can fix it for Westminster City to fund my hobby. lol - then I will happily add another 10 rooms to build London's historic underground stations.. lol What a layout that would be lol.. I will wait for my cheque in the post from Boris.. LOL Many thanks again Paul very appreciated thoughts.. Look after yourself and keep safe. All the very best Garry

Hi Garry. Thanks for your very informative response. Yes, I take on board the fact that the scenario was designed to suit your desires. Unfortunately, I'm one of these irritating people who expect layouts to represent the prototype as being a fan of GWR, my diorama and rolling stock have to be 'just so'. However, after looking at other modeller's layouts on RU-vid, I'm starting to change direction in that respect, and probably not before time. Yes, EFE's tube rakes are very expensive, so I don't blame you for giving them a miss. I used to work up London for a few years in the late 60s and early 70s, so I remember the old LT carriages that had a clerestory type roof. I used to travel on the District Line from Wimbledon Park onwards, and the rolling stock was certainly larger than that on, say, the Metropolitan Line which, incidentally, has a couple of its old rakes running around the Isle of Wight. I remember Baker Street as that was the station to alight at when you visited Madame Tussauds waxworks museum (don't know if it's still there) and the London Planetarium. Now, about that sponsorship you need. Remember recently the old soldier who walked around his garden to raise a vast amount of money for the NHS? Well, how about walking the streets following the route of ALL the underground stations and raising the necessary cash by dressing up in old soldier's clothing. You'd be surprised at how much fitter you'd be at the end of it assuming, of course, you don't collapse from a heart attack in the meantime. Just a thought (chuckle)! Do take care and don't lose that desire to be creative as we need people like you to encourage the youngsters of today to get off their backsides and swap their Playstations for a model railway starter set. All the best, Paul, a new fan of your channel!

@@platformten5958 😆😆😆😆 absolutely brilliant, I love your energy here. Glad to hear your direction on modelling too - keep it up 👍 Old LT days of london mmmm I’ve lots of childhood memories in it and around it. Grandad used to live at Ruislip directly behind the LT depot - the times I’ve been around there on uncharted Walks and at Old Oak Common 😁 Days long gone - Thanks again buddy 👍 Look after yourself & Wishing you all the best Garry

Platform ten. Chill out they guys made a great job ,he's doing it for pleasure and to play with. In real life trains don't run in an attic.

Hi Kevin Hope your all okays... Sorry buddy my mental heath and keeping an eye on the young ones had kept me at bay.. Feeling energised as I managed to crawl down to the kitchen cupboard and break open the EMERGENCY BOURBONS - that and a cuppa has set me straight LOL.. Hopefully I will be around a bit more as Just had to sort me out. Take care and thanks for looking out for me.. Its very appreciated.. Garry

Thanks lol - it was just a demonstration 👍😉

That would be cool, Think you should give it ago - Find a cardboard tube about 11cm and cut in just under half - your pretty much there with a platform..... Garry

Thanks buddy 😁👍

Many Thanks More will follow as I update 👍 Cheers Garry

Many Thank. I did look at this idea - but in my opinion it dose have its failures for two main reasons. Firstly - its the track infrastructure that arcs as the train crosses rails to power pickups that touch the third rail making that arc as we see. in most cases this is used as a power surge to identify the train in it route location for signals. Secondly - adding a reed switch to a train is not the best practice as it potentially ruins the body or chassis -plus being Glass they are prone to damaging very easily if knocked. You can use any loco with ease by just adding magnets to the chassis as the infrastructure is in the track. Great sugestion and a valued question. Hope this helps.. Keep safe and look after yourself. Garry

Hi Martin, Many thanks yeah I will definitely check it out.. just been busy as leaving work in 3 weeks so lots of future planning going on behind the scenes.. Keep safe and I will speak soon.. Garry

Thanks Anthony, that soil pipe is screaming to have track in it.. lol mmmn small fog machine and the arcing effects - interesting thoughts.. Nice.. Cheers buddy

Hi Michael, all the dimensions for the layout are covered in this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n86-fRkhhhU.html This should help... In some places yeah they are laid to length but once I move the whole layout soon it will have to be cut across the rails - but I would expect to re-track the layout at that stage one its relocated as I want to remove two points, that rarely get used.. Many Thanks - All the best Garry

Yeah not many around but their growing 👍 as it seems - Many thanks 😁

Thanks John - thing we have all left are foot prints on those stairs.. lol... Cheers

Hi John Many Thanks for your comment and glad to hear those reed switched may have new life lol.. Yes spot on the distance between the top inside to the track bed base is 15cm this is as much as I could allow at this point.. All though I do have to confess that the track ramp elevating into that underground section was compromised to 7CM at first but was not practical having a station at that point so I had to make it 15cm as you pointed out.. A good eye you have their lol.. All the best Garry

Hi buddy many thanks.. i do them on Powerpoint and take to 1pt / 3pt sizes and use a laser printer for extra quality I have just setting up = Cheekytek 3dprint and design as just lost my main job so working for myself.. If you have any probs drop me a note and I will see what I can doo... Cheers Garry

@@cheekytek Hello Gary. Sorry to hear you have lost your job, been there a few times myself so good luck with the new venture. Thanks for the info I will give it a go. When you have some products to sell let me know. Kind Regards Roger.

Many thanks for you comment - absolutely yes I have used black enamels on them many times and have this time too- because its the magnet that creates the contact it has no problems activating through paint 👍 - Cheers Garry

Many Thanks 👍
