Hi John. Great update, and I look forward to the continuing development of the layout.

Fantastic vid John. That's going to be a great scenic addition to your incredible layout. You just give so much inspiration to get the old mojo going. Can't wait to see the next update. Simon.😀

Hi John, The new bridge and river is a great idea and with your skills at painting merging into the backscene will be great I am sure if only I could do the same with my end to end but will try my best keep up the good work its all coming along nicely. Cheers Robert.

Great video John, wow you never stop working lol. New bridge is taking shape nicely great work.

Hi John Looking forward to this new project and off to a good start with the viaduct 👍🏾 Cheers Kev

There are the real makings of a very effective scenic break. As you say the tracks leading out of Piccadilly really begin to take on a whole new look, now they are separated from the twin loops.

Hi John, as usual I’m following with great interest, I think the viaduct is going to look great and looking forward to the scene developing, cheers John, John

Hi John… Hope you are well… Nice teaser video as to what’s coming next on your layout. I particularly like your bracket slot set up for your removable backscene….. you clever lad 🤣👍👍 Regards… Steve 👍

Every time I see a video from you I hear the old call sign from "Piccadilly Radio" You're probably too young to know what I'm talking about but hey that's what goes through old folks' heads 😊

You certainly don't hang around once you get an idea John. I think that is all going to work very well. Very handy to find the River Goyt with a bridge of just the kind you wanted. The railway modelling gods were in a good mood that day plainly. Stephen

Hi John nice update as usual. I've been thinking about the river scene. Yes I do like it however, yes always an however with me, I don't like the pipes idea. What I've thought is why not use a photo. Put the river in, get a photo of a river going off into the distance and stick it to the far side of the bridge. I just think it gives the idea of perspective and that the river is going off somewhere. I've done it with a road bridge on my layout and I think it looks quite good. Just a thought John!! Anyway the river goyt is actually the start of the river Mersey. It starts on axe edge Staffordshire/Derbyshire border and flows off towards Stockport where it meets the Etherow and becomes the Mersey. Just thought I'd add that info 😂 cheers Andy

Looking good. I love big sweeping curves with a train running through the landscape. Magic.

It is a really interesting and enjoyable video. I am looking forward to following your progress on the next stage of the building ... Cheers James 🙂👍

Absolutely brilliant. Sorry but im going to your idea for my layout. Of using the 2mm card and brackets. Ill post a photo when done. Thanks for a great video as always.

Interesting update, that corner has long been left, the screen once painted will look good thanks Ben

Another interesting scene in the making!

Hi ya John, a great start to what will be a very visually interesting section of the layout. I’ve been watching on my TV and as you know unable to comment. So albeit a little late, the Mills build episodes were wonderful. See ya.

Nice bridge, looking good.

Love your scenic board backdrops. Makes your layout bigger than it really is. Scene breaks do work. Love the viaduct build. Are the Pandolinos still running good? I love that train. Bill and Janet from California

great work

So after watching your channel for a couple of years I feel comfortable to finally ask my question: Do you prefer making it or breaking it :)

Hi John, are you think of doing Ardwick on the route out of Piccadilly? They are now putting a housing estate where the container yard used to be next to it.

Hi, Not sure how you are going to do the Hadfield and Glossop extensions as the both go off in different directions from Dinting. You might be better off just running the route from Dinting to Glossop and forget about the Hadfield part. By the way i love you Daleks. Not got those drone Daleks in my collection yet.

John - I had the same problem with my canal, how to make it run along the layout and where does it end? I had a castle on a hill so made the decision that the canal, along with the road and tracks, would run under Castle Halt and somehow magically go off inside the hill to wherever it wanted because being hidden menat I did not have to worry about its direction or intersecting with any other scene. Perhaps by building up the bridge with the viaducts and covering the tracks behin when the river goes under the bridge you wouldn't necessarily see it as it magically goes under ground? It does need a tad of suspended imagination to be used but its a possibility? Some really fascinating plans will be watching development with interest! Regards Steve
