NEW UPDATES ON DRAGON JUNCTION MK2 

Lord Al, thank you for your videos, I enjoy your natter. I have now watched all 99 of Mk2 in the last 2 weeks & gave thumbs up on all of them, now I have to wait for your next one as I have watched 2 or 3 per day. I have started watching others that you talk about (but too I like only steam), love your Big Boy! I wanted to start another layout again, the last one was about 30 years ago, I wanted to try 'O' or LGB, but a friend said he was getting rid of everything in his loft & he was tearing up a 'OO' layout. I purchased it of him for 300 Euros (I live in France now), 13 loco's, 20 cars & a few trucks and the teared out layout, all DCC. Now I am cleaning it all, all the track has sand as ballast, I have no money left to buy new track (an OAP like you, just a few years younger), so it will have to do, as I was cleaning I was listening to you and laughing. You was talking about the heat & how high the temp was at Hawarden, I used to live at Hawarden when it was just an airstrip with a few houses 40 years ago, then I moved to Chester for a time. Thank you again Allan, wish you and your family well and keep save.

Hi Al- some very nice new additions there and looking forward to the 100th video also nice to see the clocks are in sync !! Wish Lady B well from me. Cheers Kev

Wow Alan love your new HST certainly looks really good and suits your layout also well done your TMD area is fantastic with the extra detail added happy modelling mate kind regards Danny 👍🏻👀👋🏻🤩

Lord Al, great layout as always, nice looking HST, got the exact same numbered HST myself, I absolutely love it, my most run loco, pleasantly surprised at the pulling power of the Hornby 66, was expecting it to stop wheels spinning, cheers David

Hi Lord Al, Glad to hear lady Babs is on the mend. Great update especially the class 43 HST as its always been one of my favourites, I remember watching them as a kid as the main line ran behind my parents house great memories.

Great update Lord Al. Good to see you again. Glad Barbara is getting better. I know how inconvenient not being able to use a shoulder is. Congratulations on reaching 99 videos. Look forward to seeing the 100th. Roy.

Hi Al and congrats on your up and coming 100th video, we’ll done!👏👏. The layout is looking as fabulous as ever, from what some others have been saying then I wouldn’t know the difference between a Mk2 or a Mk3 coach to be honest, they’re just coaches to me. I saw a photo the other day of a Class43 pulling some freight so I guess anything goes! 😉. Cracking video mate. Cheers. ……….Graham

Hey Lord I watched first 20 Mins then the boss called me away. Glad I came back and watch last 10 mins ..was weird hearing me on your video lol. So lots of useful bits and bobs. I like that signal box.i am not keen on paper/cardboard models they just don't last. Now that 43 I know it's hornby but in that livery looks cracking. Real shame they still put D couplings on I know you will.put hunts on shame that hornby can't get those things sorted.but the model itself was beautiful..just let down by couplings. Thanks for the mention.. I always leave in a good mood ..Once I had a Dose of Lord Allan. Hope all OK with you. Cheers Mark Oh BTW got my first appointment on 4th as in regards to this lump that's come up. Bye for now fella

Super video Al, your videos are a great change to the normal ones. Great updates and like the 🎤 microphone bits. Have a great weekend. Keep safe. 🎉

Hi Allan, nice update love the HST, hope Mrs DRAGON JUNCTION gets better soon stay safe all the best TONY [ GRIFFIN STATION ].

Hey Alan, great to see the updates and just to let you know that I have taken onboard your advise from the other week. 'Start small' and that is exactly what I am going to do.

Hi Lord Allan, great meeting you and having a nice chat at Rhuddlan Models last Saturday!

Hi Lord Al, some nice new locos & couches the new TMD is looking good I do like the little signal box goes well where you placed it looking forward to the 100 special cheers Al

Hi lord Al just watched your latest episode love your updates especially the class 43 GWR love it you said you’re going to get hunt couplings why not try hornby’s vacuum magnetic couplings I think the code is R7399 for a set of 8 pairs they look great very realistic I bought some for my 3 class 43 sets including class 43 GWR sir Kenneth Grainge the last Hst out of Paddington Station I also put them on my class 47 and network rail class 31 which I have on my you tube channel Beighton Parkway can’t wait to see what you have planned for episode 100 best wishes Kev Beighton Parkway take care glad you’re wife is on the mend

Hello Lord Al, enjoyed the update, need to get one of those Cordless mic's, look good. Need one the corrects my word fluffs. Keep it real mate, love the laughs, Atb Graham 👍 😊😆

Oh, how nice to see that laughing face again! Glad to hear Babs is mending and recuperating well. That HST is brilliant,,, love the 43s- too much UK influence on me. You have been fixing things up, and it is looking great as you get to it. You will have upgraded so much, I will have to come by again just to see it, because it will be a new layout. lol You still have such amazing trains of so many eras, I love seeing them all run. Also, we didn't jsut mention your lavvy, it got shown in Episode 7 (- you have a hole cottage industry: Lord Al's Lavvies, Allan Wyles, prop, #2 Dung Lane, Big Gulch). Heck, I am embarrassed I got mentioned 3 times. Take care! All the best from Anthony and Joyce.

👍👍Wonderful 99th video! Very nice updates to the the layout Thanks. The GWR locos and passenger cars are just beautiful, love the deep green color! Stay well, be safe looking forward to your 100th video. 🚂🚂

Nice update Alan- definitely going to get one of those Hoovers! Thanks for the advice! Cheers Malcolm

Hi Allan many thanks for sharing your updates, enjoyed the running session. I had a repair to my rotary cuff followed by physio and a year on much better so please tell your wife things will get better and here's to her speedy recovery. Back scenes look great, who would have thought Al's Lavvy would become so famous, (its not all down the pan then lol). Take care and stay safe regards Barry..

Good Stuff Lord Allan. It's always good to see what you are up to. And it reminds me of the brief day visit I had with you in 2021 !!! Regards Alan in the loft in Dover :o)

hi lord al..great vid..even the wife put her head round the door to see who the manic was that kept laughing...we were both laughing at you trying to work out what length your wood was when you cut in half and then put it together...my wife went he's another you....liking the layout more and more..it takes time and thought to work out what to do with spare bits of flat areas..idea for your 100th ep..go to your lavvie and film it there...regards chas

Lord Al, great to have you back with an update , enjoyed your live streams... I too have a similar vacuum cleaner...a god send for any layout

Hi Alan been an avid wacther for a long time i dont comment much ! The hornby 66s i load up with the car weights and take the traction tyres of

Hi Allan. Hope you are well. Enjoyed the update. That GWR HST is a little cracker. I’ve never been to Rhuddlan models. I think I might go for a ride out on the motorbike and have a look. Maybe pick up a second hand bargain if they have one. You are right about Hornby 66’s I’ve got one and it doesn’t miss a beat. They are great value for money. I think some people give models from Hornby bad press for no other reason than they are produced by Hornby. I’ll let you know how my visit to Rhuddlan model shop goes. Steve 😀👍

Great vid. One point though. The class 43/hst runs with MK3 coaches, not MK2. The livery is the f&g packet ( sorry RU-vid hates British slang) which is about 22 years to early for the GWR 😋 You can get the correct sliding or slam door coaches for a great price on Barton’s at the moment. Keep up the great work 👍

Nice update Allan 🐲 nice new train, but I do like class 43s. Plastic /3d are much better models for the shed, in fact much better in my train room. Hope lady Barbara is still on yhe mend. I must do an update on my new tmd area atb Andy

Hya Allan I have managed to find that vacuum cleaner thanks for a good idea and I hope Mrs Al is soon better

Hi ya Allan. The new backscenes are great. Beautiful moody skies. All the details parts for the new scene are bringing it to life. The 3D printed signal tower will hold up better to the elements. I received one of those little vacuums at Christmas. They are great. The new mics will come in handy for the live streams. Always nice to see your trains running. The new addition GWR loco and it’s coaches are awesome. I see why you fell in love. Lol. Thanks for the update.

your channel is great Charlie well done

Wonderful video Lord Al. I wonder where the flasher is hanging around these days? Maybe we will find out in the 100th video. Take care Al and thanks for all you do.

Excellent update Al, oops, sorry, Lord Al. I like the 3D printed items. The signal box would be perfect for a level crossing or as in your case bridge protection. I quickly noticed as did Mossylls that your new coaches as beautiful as they are, are not the correct ones for a HST set. You'll now have to be on the look out for some Mk 3 coaches and a new loco for the Mk 2's. Anything that increases your stock is a good thing. lol. All the best Lord Al. your humble servant, David.😁

Hi Al, I am sure someone else will have spotted it, but those new coaches do not belong to a HST, they are MK2 with buffers. HST coaches are Mk3 without buffers. The livery is also a very early one and is known as F.A.G packet livery. The full stops are there because the Americans dont think it refers to a cigarette and get upset. Its probably 25 years old now. Get yourself 4 matching GWR green coaches for the HST and make yourself a Class 255 Castle set up.

Another great video, love the gwr.

Brilliant layout Dragon Junction MK2

Great video really nice layout I would love a shed for a layout that mic looks good 👍

Great updates, dont blame for buying the GWR hst looks great

I'm sure your 100th video will be very special Lord Al.🎉

Awesome HST 125 in GWR livery.

I like that back scene. It could be anywhere . The new section is coming along really well also.

I can't wait to get my Lord al's lavvy on my layout but got to build the base for the village yet lol I do like the newer 43s there something special now I want to dig out mallard for a run.

i’m glad it ain’t just us that’s having technical problems, we were trying to film our episode today, and the bloomin gimbal decided to turn off several times during, so the camera just flopped on its side 😂, thanks for the update, hope you’re keeping well sir have you got a link to that mic please buddy?

just weather the tunnel portals saves breaking up the hills etc etc to much work and a bit of paint will sort them

12:29 hya Allan what is the order name for the hoover you got from amazon and does your local shop do mail òrder

Are the gents in the high viz jackets from an agency or are they employed by Dragon's Junction? Hopefully, they do not have to walk very far if they are accidentally caught short.

T remember to take the mike off when you go to the loo.

Sorry Al but if your local Model shop sold that HST lot as a set they got it very wrong. They are the wrong coaches and the liveries were never together.

Hi Big Al.... glad to hear the wife is on the mend. Lovely to see an update. Back scene looks amazing. The new updates are bring the layout together even more and the new loco just finishes off the collection but I'm sure there will be more Glad to see you back down the shed. Oh by the way BIG proposal 💍 on the 17th June. Let's hope she says yes. Have to give a little shout out closer to the time but I will let you know what she says lol (fingers crossed). Keep safe and well. Love to family. Colonal Ga Taffy (aka) Rich & Olivia 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
