S2 E21 New Studio & Brake Van Part 2 

Thank you James, as usual a really excellent Video, looking forward to the Development you have outlined in this Film. It’s been sometime since I’ve been able to catch up as I lost my dear Wife in August ‘22. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes.

I like where this is going, I see your future. good luck James

Hi James - Wow when I think how you first started and expanded your plans and what you could build to the set up you now have, oh my goodness what a journey. Apologies for not using your vacuum cleaner on my layout but everything is on hold till the money situation eases which will be a little while yet. Regards Chris

Go James......

The axle guards incident made me chuckle. Im glad its not just me that does that sort of thing! What a plonker! Looking forward to some more content from the new space. Your setup looks very impressive.

Hi James, I would ecommend usng waisted bearings when assembling suspension parts, it doesn't completely negate having to enlarge the hole in the aclebox. it depends upon the desired/intended travel of the suspension.

Nice to see you back James .

Amazing what you can do with a single car garage space, though I suspect all those hard surfaces are creating a few sound issues for the video, i will be fascinated to see the etching stuff, as for my own project I'm going to need to learn how to do that, the joys of picking a railway with nothing available from any manufacturer

James, I'm really pleased to see you again, I was beginning to be concerned for your welfare, at the long quiescence. The size of the laser machine is staggering. Very best of wishes, Mike Warren.

Excellent. Good to hear from you again, James. I'd merely assumed that life had got in the way, and I think you'd mentioned that you might not be able to get videos out as often as some people might like. Looks like you've got yourself a good space there - presumably it was a garage? I noticed that the camera at times wasn't sure what to focus on, probably the result of the nice straight lines along the walls getting its attention. But it didn't bother me that much. You're not making things for broadcast on HD TV channels (well, not yet...), and it's what you're doing & how you're doing it that's more important for me. Though I did wonder a bit about whether it was warm enough in there (and conversely what about ventilation in summer?). Please don't make a silent video - most of what you do is not familiar to me, so it's useful to hear you explanatory commentary.

Hi James! Great to see you again! You have certainly been busy! Your new workspace and equipment looks fantastic. Cant wait to see you working your magic on whatever you touch! Best wishes from Wirral! 👍🏻

Great work space, I'm really jealous. Thanks for sending my latest order for point actuators so quickly, I will be ordering quite a few more as I get more track layer and funds allow. They work brilliantly. Pete Townsend.

Great to see the laser printer and I really look forward to future videos on this topic.

James, that's a great setup you've made, good to see your videos again and look forward to seeing further progress.

While you were apologising for the mess I was thinking you had tidied up already!

Beautiful work indeed.

2:55 best hiding place ;) just in front of the nose ~16:00 Rome ne fu[t] pas faite toute en un jour ;) that quote counts for ~21:00, too. I didn´t notice any exhaust air unit, if not hidden somewhere better add. 22:00-23:00 alot of plans to become 👍

Hi James, That laser cutter looks beefy, Will be interesting to see what you can produce with that. I really should have a go at designing some laser cut stuff, I much prefer to do things like that on a computer than using a scalpel and many many cuts with plasticard lol. I remember many many moons ago trying to build some sprung axles when I had a little go at P4, Watching you trying to solder those bearings brings back memories of how fiddly a job it was lol. Wow you have a lot of equipment in that new studio, It would be interesting to see how much easier kits would go together if they were designed using a computer to be more precise. Oh and thanks for the little extra in my recent order :) I shall be putting that to good use soon. Cheers, Michael

hi James, it's great to see the studio! Did you get my reply about turntables/firmware/Arduino?
