It has been a great while since I made any videos that had clips of my engines running. But now I can put that wait to rest. In this video you will see the layout operating it's daily timetable with Thomas, Percy and Toby. I'm currently working on a timetable that will feature Mavis and Daisy so once that's done I'll see about making another video of it.
Apollogies for the lighting being different in parts. Filming took nearly all day to do and you may also see my shadow appear in parts of the video.
If you have any questions about the video feel free to comment below and I'll do my best to answer them. Enjoy the video

I began building the layout in April 2011 as a reply to a question a friend asked me in one of my videos. It was also built to feature some bits that I didn't feature on my original layout such as Thomas Cousins and the Three Beatles Inn.

I always enjoy watching this video, even more after seeing your remade layout.

Sky Chase Zone and Emerald Hill sound awesome nice touch layout looks alrite to

@infanterist1917 8 лет назад

OK I thought that the layout looked amazing and I admire your craftsmanship on the layout

@hartleymartin 9 лет назад

I like your video. I can't wait to see the revised timetable with Mavis and Daisy on the scene!

@WhitehouseFilms 11 лет назад

Yes, I came across it on your deviantart page. You've done a great job on it. My model of Percy is currently waiting on a replacement boiler. I've made up his cab from scratch and managed to get a spare smoke box and chimney but no boiler. I'll have a scavenge round ebay and see what I can find.

@JH55000 11 лет назад

it's a very good layout, and like I said, I like your Percy. I managed to find one of the Bachmann ones with a smokebox door and repainted it.

@WhitehouseFilms 11 лет назад

The E2 model will make it's appearance when I finish the second version of the timetable. Sorry it didn't appear in this one but I promise it will appear in the next one.

@TheRojo387 4 года назад

Did you notice how "Ffarquhar" was pronounced in the Thomas & Friends cartoon? The narrator broke the initial "ff" into two syllables!

@WhitehouseFilms 11 лет назад

She was made from a Bachmann model repainted and had the balcony doors moved in slightly to match the original coach.

@WhitehouseFilms 11 лет назад

Well at the moment I'm waiting on Annie and Clarabel's new chassis to arrive in the post. These models are used for the time being. I don't mind the trucks have faces here and there. Maybe somebody on the layout painted them on while I wasn't looking. LOL

@joelcartagena953 6 лет назад

WhitehouseFilms will the engines have RWS faces and headlamps?

@retrorobbyreviews 6 лет назад

Really like your layout. Very professional and its cool you added the sonic 2 soundtrack to the video. Keep up the good work.

@LNER4771 11 лет назад

Very well done. I can't wait to see more of your videos!

@NewController01 11 лет назад

A fantastic demonstration my friend, nicely done :)

@therustyfox420 7 лет назад

sonic 2 sound track nice

@JH55000 11 лет назад

very nice, I like your percy model, I'd have thought you'd use your rather spiffing E2 Thomas in the vid though. Excellent layout and a good video of it in action.

@gamingandmore5 11 лет назад

Great! I'll be sure to check him out,and you to when the Ffarquhar branch line is open to the public! :P

@Callantale 7 лет назад

I really like your layout!

@Terrier55Stepney 11 лет назад

OK, will do thanks!

@WhitehouseFilms 11 лет назад

Hi. Thanks for stopping by to check out the video.

@sheenamccormick3744 5 лет назад

The reverend awdry approves

@WhitehouseFilms 11 лет назад

If you check out my 7th workbench video you'll be able to see the model during it's construction stages. It's quite a simple converstion to the bachmann model.

@WhitehouseFilms 11 лет назад

I didn't give them faces because I wanted them to look more like real trains. I will give them faces for when I'm doing RWS remakes, currently working on making one ATM but I've got other projects that need sorting out.

@BRman101 11 лет назад

Really good layout

@joshp5260 11 лет назад

Hi, I really enjoy your vids. I was wondering how long is the layout? Keep up the great work.

@jasperrocks9967 4 года назад

I love this, what scale?

@Terrier55Stepney 11 лет назад

With the Thomas model, I see you based it from the Bachmann range, but how did you straiten the running board at the front end of the model?

@infanterist1917 8 лет назад

how long did it take you to do this model it is amazing

@WhitehouseFilms 8 лет назад

+Timelord 1912 I began building it in April 2011and it was completed in November 2012, just in time for it's first exhibition. This layout is now retired from exhibiting with the new one, in the make, taking it's place but will be refurbished to have better features and might be part of a new project n the pipeline.

@gamingandmore5 11 лет назад

I want to say one thing about the video. Where did you find the amazing chemical plant remix! I adore it!

@TrainBoi227 Год назад

Banger soundtrack lol

@kennycartoons 4 года назад

I Love This

@DocterGeko 6 лет назад

Has this been on a recent Railway Modeller. If so I have that issue.

@WhitehouseFilms 6 лет назад

Yes. It appears in the reader's letters section in the May 2018 issue. I had originally planned to do a feature cover of the layout's build but someone had already beaten me to it with their alternative version of the layout.

@paskywales 11 лет назад

wish u cud do a series on it more like the rws

@fuzzie6299 5 лет назад

where did you get the soundtrack

@BRman101 11 лет назад

How long did you make the layout

@trainman2210 11 лет назад

what did u use for henrietta

@WhitehouseFilms 11 лет назад

All the music in this video including the Chemical Plant Zone music was done by RU-vidr VernianProcess.

@knight_bracher4290 6 лет назад

Could we have another video like this please? maybe with just new footage and same audio?

@WhitehouseFilms 6 лет назад

A new one will be made soon. ATM the New Ffarquhar layout is undergoing some maintenance which will help improve the performance. Will hopefully make a new operation video in the Spring.

@knight_bracher4290 6 лет назад

Thank you!

@howdoiputthecheeseintheove8437 8 лет назад

I don't get how instrumental sonic 1 and 2 songs go with a model railway

@namehere5030 6 лет назад

Love the video and I like the music but it doesn’t seem very fitting. in all honesty though I wish I was this good at model/set making.

@infanterist1917 8 лет назад

what will you do with the old on I'd love to buy it or something

@WhitehouseFilms 8 лет назад

+Timelord 1912 I'm keeping the old one as a testing layout when trying out new locos or rolling stock.

@ZeldaTheSwordsman 10 лет назад

I have to wonder why you used the Hornby Annie and Clarabel and not your own customs.

@WhitehouseFilms 10 лет назад

They weren't ready when the video was being made and the Tri-ang ones kept derailing. When I'm making the next timetable video I'll included them.

@ZeldaTheSwordsman 10 лет назад

Okay. I was just wondering because the Hornby ones look kinda sad, especially next to everything else. Any idea what was causing the Tri-Ang ones to derail?

@WhitehouseFilms 10 лет назад

ZeldaTheSwordsman Not sure really. Might have been the small radius curve going into the station. My new ones handle that curve better as they are slightly smaller.

@ZeldaTheSwordsman 10 лет назад

It's also possible the coupling or some other part was snagging. The scale coupling on my own Annie was bent in such a way that the bogie was catching on it; I only recently discovered that was what was causing her to run poorly.

@moory27 10 лет назад

WhitehouseFilms It's generally the wheels on points. I have the same pair and they kept catching on the points due to their wheels being wider in the flanges. So replacing the bogies with newer ones would be the best bet.

@ZeldaTheSwordsman 10 лет назад

Can you send me the drawings for Elsie? I seem to have lost the file

@swag-a-dellaman6555 10 лет назад

one question: where are the faces?

@WhitehouseFilms 10 лет назад

I took the faces off because for this video I wanted to make it as close to Wilbert's original models and how they performed on his original layout. Maybe in the next one with Daisy and Mavis I'll keep the faces on.

@BRman101 11 лет назад

Hi White House do you know cris

@altermike3197 6 лет назад

Why didn't you use decent music? And I would've kept the faces on

@WhitehouseFilms 6 лет назад

I often used Sonic music in my videos because I was a fan of the games. The reason for the faces being removed was that I was going into that stage of learning more of the Reverend's modelling. His original models didn't have faces so I decided not to put them on mine.

@TheRojo387 6 лет назад

Best of all you say "Ffarquhar" correctly. Thomas just wedges a schwa bwtween the two Fs as if it's non-Welsh.

@BRman101 11 лет назад

Hi do you like my Thomas and friends movies
