Hi, I like how you commented on trying to get that run down terminus feel. Yeah I think your getting there. I especially liked the iron fencing at the platform ends, now that added atmosphere. Your comment about only having 40 odd figures, I can go with, as I think layouts look much better with fewer figures. I mean you have all these trains running round, maybe even moving road vehicles but the people don't move, they never will either, so no point including them, to me. I do like seeing your layout, and hope you do get a piece in the magazine too..............Lovely work, all the very best Dave.
Thanks! Its taken, like, forever, mostly because I wasn't sure what to do. Hopefully, now that the main canopies are fixed, I can bash on with the concourse and the main building.
Interesting point about “Just looks better” at the engine yard, in that it looks more organised, less busy with the partition wall. I wondered how you were going to mount those bicycle bells, very novel solution. Very exciting news too !!!
My first look at Yarslow! A few things stood out: Most extensive rodding work I think I've seen FPL Rodding - FPL Rodding is essential in mechanical points of course, don't think I've seen another layout with Mechanical FPLs fitted, let alone rodding added! Multiple Signal Boxes - that's one of my big tips for any layout, never seen so many on one layout! There was a Red coloured item in the 4ft near the branch up the incline, was that a Depression Bar? Lovely Ground frame - again more layouts should have them Different Bells for the Signal Boxes 😍😍😍 I can only describe the Signalling in this layout as EXQUISITE!
Hi and thanks for joining along. I am flattered by your admiration for the S&T aspects of the layout - I am trying to make it operationally "right" in terms of track layout and appearance, all within practical limits of course, but I have included trap points where possible. There is no interlocking of any kind but that is not something that worries me - my operator mates get confused enough now and even I often get things wrong and forget a lever or a cab control switch is not pulled!!! The red thing on the branch is no more than a replaced rail left in the 4ft. The ground frame for the PW yard is a Bachmann item I recall whilst those on the branch are Wills kits. Both are nice. The hand point levers are West Hill Wagon Works with a few ancient whitemetal examples. The point rodding took forever and so, as most city terminii had gone electric quite early, I copped out with Trinity Square and went with point machines and relay cabinets. All I need to do now is make a miniature lever desk for the signal box!
@@yarslowmodelrailway1 Its brilliant work, I have seen one chap in Australia do his own Interlocking, he was an Electronics/Software guy to trade though! Its not something I would even know where to start on a scale layout!!! I've definitley seen a miniature lever modeller, i'll see if I can get a link to their profile!
A lovely running session, well filmed and captioned & narrated. Your "I like what I've got" comment was well received. It's great news that HM are interested. I wish you every success with that. Are you busily thinking about which trains to run for the photo shoot??
Hi Barry, I am surprised that it took the magazine so long to find you, they should have done it years ago. I am disappointed the bloke from Hornby is Jonathan - I was flattering myself that it was me and was wondering how you had managed to get your subscribers names edited into the video as it was played! I love the way all the little cameo scenes are coming together. I think there is still more to do in PWay yard - yours is the tidiest I have seen. You also had some very nice distressed looking ex PO wagons in the coal train. I would love to know how you did this Those still running at the end of the 50's had not been repainted for at least 20 years and were pretty tatty by then. Cheers Jonathan
Vewry nice - lest it be of interest, somewhere on BloodanmdCustard I put up a section on the East Coast fish traffic and its demise...🐟🐟🐟 Always good to see figures on layouts - it brings the scene to like! 😺
