Enjoyed your video Dave and liked thanks for sharing DD.

Great video Dave. Particularly enjoyed seeing your plaster cloth work as I am shortly going to be doing some more of that. Thanks for sharing. Roy.

Outstanding layout since lockdown Iv found some amazing modellers.

Great 'how to' Dave!!! Awesome loco's those Class 20'ies!! Many thanks for sharing! Cheers Onno.

Way better than Saturday night tv - thanks Dave👍

I got an as built class 20 of the new batch of Bachmann models it’s a beauty semi gloss green silver buffers as if it just left the Vulcan foundry it’s glides along and looks great even running with my rail freight 37 😊 Cheers Dave Mark 😊😊

Crackin Video Mate. Catch up with you soon. Andy.

excellent stuff Dave.

Those new class 20s are both gorgeous.

Pleasant and enjoyable video to watch Dave. Thanks for covering this variety of subjects. Those Class 20s look superb but really need a smoke generator fitting. A plume of (diesel) smoke on start-up would be the icing on the cake.

Hi Dave that speckled finish is usually caused by varnish finish, if you give them another spray with some varnish this usually gets rid of the speckling. David

I drove past there on Friday 29 Sept. on a return day trip from Fort William to Balmoral Castle and have to say the Cairngorms National Park is truly stunning, this was off the back of a 8 day holiday throughout Scotland with my family and we absolutely loved it!...need to go visit Strathspey Railway next time, at least we did the Jacobite.

Good planning and first-class workmanship.

Brilliant Dave, always an enjoyable watch

Great job, been a while since I had a layout and I'm impressed by this one.

Dave , What I like about you is your so methodical just like myself , You're a superb modeller great stuff

Great video. I think the accurascale "privitisation" 37 cab figures look better than those you reviewed (i have these an they are quite nice). Its probably because they are wearing orange health and safety vests and they 3d print better than the all blue of the old uniforms. Although those on their web site look a lot more consistently blue than those you received.

I used to just put down plaster bandage before anything else on the layout needed working on, I paint over the mess anyway. But I did always struggle with plastering when there already was detail in situ- duly noted to cut it into shape beforehand next time. It was also absolutely lovely bumping into you at Aviemore- Here's hoping the next time 60103's driver finds his brake in time!

From the filming it looks like Bachmann have changed the leading lights on the class 20 from yellow as the first new tooled BR blue liveried one was fitted to warm white LED's as per the Bachmann class 24.

Could be my PC speakers but I think the grey 20 sound is better. Years ago they did a tablet catcher version and I thought I read they were bringing one of the new ones out like that but no sign of that now. Sorry you missed out on Flying Scotsman, at least your trip was not from Amsterdam. I saw FlyingScott had. The locomotive has been cleared fit to run on the main again and will do it's scheduled tours so hopefully you can get to see her before she heads back down to he NRM.

Another great update from dean park

Great video again Dave. Loved to wee Aviemore again (was there last year being hauled by the Black 5)

Hi David great video 📹 from you Sir and hope to see you at Cathcart show in Glasgow at Pollokshaws

Great update thanks.👍

You’ve certainly got a great layout of Dean Park!! You’ve got some wonderful scenery, including the back scene!! As a steam locomotive fanatic, I would love to see a heritage train go on your layout. Any chance?

Hi Dave. You’re absolutely right concerning the 20’s Call it overkill, but I have 15 Bachmann Class 20’s they brought out in the DRS livery. Why ? Because like us all, I waited an eternity for these to be released, and once I got 312 in compass, & 306 with the original decals I was blown away with them. They are superb. My layout is obviously DRS based, and they had 15 of these, and I just had to have all 15, renumbered obviously ! Weathered in various states as they were towards the end, they look great Sound has been added to some, but don’t you find they drive you bonkers after a while 😄 Your latest update is great as usual, iv’e used some plaster cloth in my time, and the Aviemore piece you did was great, I really need to get back up there sooner rather than later ! Incidentally, I purchased a couple of Accurascale DRS Class 37’s after you reviewed them in one of your last updates They are incredible, and I believe Accurascale have taken RTR loco’s to another level, especially taking into account as you said in this update, the staggering cost increase of Bachmann’s equivalent Keep the updates coming, they are superb and I look forward to each one

Those BM Class 20's look great - have a BR green - DCC with sound thanks to Richard at Roads & Rails

Love the music while you were doing the curved bank, missed it from EJ and your previous videos!

16:43 - ah, I see you still have some of that particular shade of brown left Mr Watson! ;-)

Excellent vid as always if I can get my layout even a quarter of yours I'd be happy yours is amazing

Wonderful video

Great video as always, was great to see the updates. As someone who is the owner of a single Class 20 (Railfreight Grey previous tooling) and at some point is going to add a second, is it worth buying the new tooling or going for the previous and probably now slightly cheaper version?? Also the updated speakers make a big difference always thought mine was slightly quiet 👍

I noticed that you got the woodland Scenic T pins I found a package of 200 pins for less than the price of the Woodland Scenic ones to let the people with a budget to get them

First of all hope you enjoyed your trip out, some great shots captured, pity you couldn’t get onto Scotsman but hopefully the locomotive is fine and she will be out running again soon, I would still like to catch her during her 100th anniversary. Layout overall is looking great and good to see more progress being done on it, keep up the great work. I need to get a couple, of class 20 into my fleet at some point, more specifically I am looking at getting the new tool railfreignt ones which I do think bachmann have released 2 versions in that livery in their new tool suite of these models now, they are overall great looking models and when I get a couple of them I would be up for running them as a double so would like ones in the same livery. Those accurascale figures are alright in my opinion, I would be up for trying some out and seeing if they can be used in other manufacturers locomotives, an overall great update here Dave, keep up the great work.

Great video. Could you make a video on how you got the 2 class 20 to run correctly in particular in pairs ie both noses together. Thanks

I admire you're commitment to adding all of these new locos to the collection Dave - do you have an SLW 24 on order out of interest? Layout is looking great as usual. Chris

Looking good. Why not include a couple of clips of trains running through the section you've been working on, after the months work is done, to give us more of an idea of how it will look when done, and how it fits in with the rest of the layout? I need a 2nd bachmann 20, although I'll go for an older tooling headcode disc one in blue, preferably with the engineers marking as per the weathered one here, so it both matches the 20217 I already have in terms of finish, but compliments it with having the other type of end. Very nice to see Bon Accord with the Palvan there, and I love the Ivatt 2s

Another great update Dave. Shame that you and the Scoonie lads missed out on Scotsman at Aviemore. Re the Accurascale crew I was wondering if you’d tried fitting them into one of the newest Bachmann 37s? I’ve got Radio Highland & Loch Lomond which could really do with crew. These figures might be the answer as sourcing painted crew figures doesn’t seem so easy as it once was.

Thanks for another great video. I wonder what is the reason for the signal at 36:53 being “off” for a train in the opposite direction. Maybe it is a precious prototype for modellers who dont have operating signals!

Hi Dave hope you are well i watch all your videos and find them really useful but i do not get the notification on the link any change you an email what you use and were from .I know you show most products in your videos but not all of them in the videos but this would help me out and save me some money lol its mainly the landscaping Thanks Richard

In one sence having the Ivatt, ment the loco was working harder than the Scotsman would, so better sound. I visited both Bo Ness & Strathspey Railway's for the first time in late September this year, Strathspey was better for the scenery, but Bo Ness had more for the camera, both very good railways to visit & both were very friendly! for me 20227 had the better sound I use a sound bar plugged into my laptop, main reason either some people don't use mic's or I am going death! (daughter did take me for a hearing test, but she was not pleased when the lady told her I could not pick up on her voice tones 🤣or as she later put it selective hearing)!

Where did you get the Foam Putty? your layout continues to be terrific.

Charlie Bishop uses Hobbycraft poster paint - £1 per bottle.

Was it easy to double-head the two 20s (with the 2021 railfreight one)? I read somewhere that this years batch used a different decoder to the 2021 batch

Hi Dave. Quick question. I see you have two diamond crossings in your Code 100 layout. Are these Code 100 too? They seem to be very difficult to locate these days. Are they electrofrog or insulfrog? There are now unifrog versions available as well! Would be grateful for your advice. My layout is Code 100. Cheers. Chris

Supposing you want your landscape to have lumps and bumps to make it look like a real landscape rather than a pretend one.

styrafoam ?? isn't that a musical instrument ?? don't mention rolf !!
