Trains Running on a OO Gauge Micro Model Railway Layout/ Railroad Layout - Shunting & Switching 

It's something I'm going to try, also running to a time table

Samuel 👉 that's EXACTLY what i've been thinking 👍

Clever idea :-)

You can also introduce cards for running issues, football specials, market day extra coaches, double heading, SPADs, etc.

Thanks, good luck with your layout

@@BudgetModelRailways thank you, your work has been an inspiration!

So glad we could help

I am waiting for Hornby to get back to me with some press pics of their annual exhibition train they used to drag into Bromley North for a week, 73's either end, spotters dream was the Hornby train.

Sounds epic, thanks so much for watching and supporting

That's what we find, a bot of TLC and they are fine

I'm amazed how much operating potential and fun I have had with it, given it cost me next to nothing to make and took very little time to build.

Sounds an epic plan. The new Hornby Bagnall shunter in green would also be excellent, have fun with it.

Yes we are the same, sometimes even identical coaches won't run the same, it's bizarre

I find that also (this is my second year return after having a 40 year break from the hobbie) i thought it was just me !

I guess it's just part of the fun of the hobby, lol

Same. It's part of the odd sock conspiracy.

That's an international conspiracy by sock manufacturers to make us buy more socks, I think they paid the aliens or the pixies to steal them! I'm going to take my pills now

Many thanks

Thanks, I spent another half hour after filming just shunting, over an hour of fun on a layout only 4 ft by 7in, that cost almost nothing to make and only a few weeks to build

Thanks, I'm rather pleased with it

Thanks Jim

Thanks Frank, that's how we see it

Thanks

I wish I could get more time to run locos too

Thanks, it's the best angle as that's where we would be in real life unless we owned a drone lol

Thanks, thats very kind. This video seemed to hit the spot, we have a few others similar in our channel as well. Take care

@@BudgetModelRailways Thanks, I'm enjoying your videos a lot. By the way I've got a question if possible are you able to help answer it please? Yesterday I laid the asphalt underlay (same one you recommend in another video) over my wooden base as I'm making a layout. The smell of the asphalt material is quite pungent and as the layout is in my bedroom it's not pleasant. I wondered do you have any tips or advice to deodour the smell of it, is there some kind of spray or paint I could paint over it to reduce the smell? Thanks.

Sorry not sure, ive never had a smell with the roofing felt. Perhaps leave it outside for a while to see if that helps?

@@BudgetModelRailways Ok thanks. Will give that a try.

Thanks

There are several commercial uncouplers or you can use pieces of clear plastic. These days I just use a uncoupling stick and do it by hand

Hi, Thanks for the kind comments. Glad to hear the Tram arrived promptly. It would be great if you could send us some pictures of it all painted up: BMRNewsletter@gmail.com Also it would be great if you could leave us a review of it on our new website page: www.budgetmodelrailways.co.uk/reviews.html Thanks

@@BudgetModelRailways Will do!

Thanks, hello to our Kiwi friends

Many of thanks

Let me know what loco you would like and I will see if I can pick you one up if you like, although postage can be high

I feel u bro..im from Germany and have the same problem but wit us lokos😂

Thanks for watching

Thanks for your suppory

Nope I just plug it in and I'm away, also by pre sorting locos and rolling stock that run ok I don't even have to fiddle with them either

Happy New Year to you too

Hi, yes OO is 25% bigger. It's blasphemy here too not to make it is tic, but we have had such a good response to our just have fun way of doing things. The Peco points are excellent

@@BudgetModelRailways the most important thing is to do things as you like to.. And not to please others. But that is something many people in our society don't understand. many people say.. Oh no, you are not doing it the right way.. YOU MUST buy märklin, you must buy fleischmann and so on.. I hate it.. I want to do it my way.. And if i fall, i fall. But i get up again and try something different the next time.. Around here.. Nobody knows shunting layouts.. But i already started a new series on my channel and i will introduce these layouts in austria and Germany.. And i will clear up some of the old and dusty opinions around model railways.. that it is expensive and only men in their 90s do it... It is time to make a ruckus and to stir up the ol dusty pond of modellers and bring in some new blood.. :)

Quite right sir, we need to rebel and lead a revolution, be subversive and challenge. It should be about fun , it's your railway, do what you like, if you enjoy it, it's not for anyone else to tell you it's wrong

@@BudgetModelRailways Amen!!!

Let us know what your channel is called and we will subscribe, feel free to give us a shout out etc and thanks for helping to spread the word

Thanks

Thanks, I've always wondered

Sounds excellent

Video cut to take out the boring bits, we use the uncoupling hook from a few videos previously

Great idea

Yes and a decent length head shunt

Hornby and Peco points isolate , so switching them turns the power off to the other track in turn

@@BudgetModelRailways ok Thankyou what points would you recommend

@@theaverageteleporter7435 I always use Peco insulfrog points

@@BudgetModelRailways Thankyou very much

@@BudgetModelRailways do you happen to know what radius of points you used on this layout

I have considered a modular layout, it's just finding the time and space. We have an Instagram, I will get Doug to put the details on here, or go to our website

an end to end layout with two termini would make a great model,with the small 040,s it would make a great freelance light railway.jpj

I have an idea for a freelance light railway running from a main line to a small harbour

Budget Model Railways a curved middle section could save space since it could be a wide curve with tighter curves on industry track and or yard track.

It's a nice idea, but although it would save space length ways I don't have the width

Hi yes they are insulfrog and yes I have another power take off in the platform so the goods siding remains powered , however only the bay siding can be isolated due to the two power take offs

@@BudgetModelRailways thanks for the reply.

Sorry no, all our rolling stock is bought second hand without boxes.

Budget Model Railways thank you, know I know.

Thanks, Doug has got quite creative with his camera work

One of our first ever projects was converting a pug to fit a Kato chassis to make it a 009 loco

There is a run around loop

I prefer peco when I can get them, but all locos and wagons seem to have combinations that won't work or only running one way. I quite enjoy a long running session to find out what works best on any given layout

@@BudgetModelRailways I felt the same, I end up having to take out my Hornby point when most of my stock doesn't quite run nicely on it/derailed, now the majority of locomotive and rolling stock run nicely, I discovered that the plastic wheel retaining is much bigger on Hornby thus does not keep the wheel in line when going over the dead spot.

The larger plastic frog on the hornby point causes lots of problems

@@BudgetModelRailways It's 2019 and still an annoying issue!

Thanks

Possibly but it t would remove lots of shunting fun

Peckett is way out of our price bracket, but I have a few of the older 0-4-0 type

I wanted to see how small I could make a useful layout. The station idea of using low relief came from an article in a magazine

Ok thanks I am thinking of building a micro layout and yours looks absolutely Brilliant and has already inspired me.

Thats great thanks

Hi, another micro shunting layout video out tomorrow

@@BudgetModelRailways ok thanks for letting me know

We have had to take them off for a while as we have more orders than we can keep up with, drop us an email and we will see what we can do

Budget Model Railways ok will do,not in too much of a hurry at the mo,project won’t be done for a couple of months...will be in touch

Lol

We are in Sussex in the UK, how about you?

A bluebell boy aye Me to

I'm not sure, coz then my wife would find out how many locos I have lol ! I have far too many, in fact I've just started selling off some of the duplicates.

ok then. lol :o@@BudgetModelRailways

They are nice locos, I have 4 in various liveries

About 4ft by 7 in, we mention it in an earlier hideout I cant get to it to measure it at the moment

@@BudgetModelRailways thank you I was considering doing my own budget railway and I liked the track plan off your layout but I need the size to see where I could put it in my room.

It's the rarer OO version, I got it for £20 from Classic rail, it's a lovely runner

Thanks for the info. Were br 12 ton box vans and wooden 20 ton brake vans used frequently during the 1970's/era 7.

Honest answer, don't know for sure, I've seen pictures of them in use, but I don't really care too much, we just tend to run what we like

Not really, they take the coaches I want them too, and then the layout would have to be bigger, which defeats the objective of seeing how much I could fit into the smallest practical space. It's not supposed to reflect an actual station, it's a different approach.

Ok thanks for letting me know
