Thanks Caleb!

Thanks Nathan!

Thanks Matt, really good to see you on the saturday, Next time you'll have to have a go!

Cant beat um!

Thanks Ian!

Thanks Dave!

Your very welcome, Enjoyed your latest video!

Thanks Clint, glad you enjoyed it!

Definitely, we do our best to temp Mark on screen 😁

Thanks Reny Rex!

Thanks Nigel!

Thanks Philip!

Ha You never know! 🤭 We're all working from home to bring you the latest Magazine or video! 👍🏻

@@hornbymag it's the best thing to do during these times working from home, less likely to catch anything that way.

Thanks your right it is similar!

Not long now! 😁

Thanks Mark for your wonderful message!

@@hornbymag Youre most welcome!Thank YOU for your wonderful videos and your fine OO gauge trains! I hope to make it to England (particularly London) one day to see those layouts that I admire up and close. Thanks again!

Oops we'll have to have a peek at that!

Now that could be fun

Thanks, really glad you enjoyed the video

Nice!

Sheds everywhere haha

The crane is a Kibri kit KI13060, in HO scale, unfortunately i don't know of any in oo scale.

@@Railfreight37 , thanks I will look into that, i have a HO steel mill kit coming from USA

It’s all Peco code 75 flexible track with medium and large radius points on this layout.

Hi Ralph, glad you enjoyed the video! What a good idea, I'll be sure to pass your suggestion on. Regards Richard

Thanks

This was filmed before the lockdown 👍🏻

Hello. My Dad is a member of the Basingstoke club and I helped out at the exhibition. It was before the lockdown, but Coronavirus fears were on our minds. A couple of exhibits cancelled on us, but most were happy to go ahead with it even though we were unsure there would be an exhibition. We brought in additional measures like extra handwash, regular cleaning down of barriers etc... In the end it came down to we'd cancel the weekend if the Council asked us to, they didn't. Attendance was still noticeably low compared to previous years. Government made lockdown official a couple of weeks later.

Good idea!

This was filmed before the lock down 👍🏻

Absolutely! 👍🏻

Did you see the other layouts featured in this video? Some stunners

Keep an eye out for the running session videos, zero waffle! :D

Try our Running session videos, long waffle-less videos. 😁

That's a very 'Glass half empty' look on things Neil, you could say it's mostly right... 😆👍🏻

@@hornbymag if you want to portray a realistic mode, of the railways of today then you really need to be accurate in all areas. The trains are modelled realistically as is the cement works, but you level crossing is very inaccurate as I pointed out in a letter to your magazine last March, which was ignored (as was the article I submitted pointing out the corrections of the February 2019 article), are too many things that are wrong including the anti-tresspass features (that don't go the entire width of the crossing), the yellow box markings that don't match these given in the UK's Traffic Signs Manual and the ORR Manual on Level Crossings and the road sign closest togge crossing not being the additional hazard sign of being correct (it should be a danger of electrocution sign with the safe maximum height and not the level crossing warning sign (which would be off the board)). The parking of the Network Rail van is also wronwrong g, the level crossing at Helpston is similar to that modelled here and the signalman has to park outside of the level crossing.

@@neiloflongbeck5705 Neil, please get a life. Happy modeling.

@@neiloflongbeck5705 "if you want to portray a realistic mode, of the railways of today then you really need to be accurate in all areas." What a hypocritical-idiotic approach! How can you talk about "needing to be accurate in all areas" and at the same time - without being ashamed - let the whole system run on a scale wrong track?

@@pearlyhumbucker9065 in my posting I ignored the elephant in the room, the underscale track. But over the last 40 years the press and modelling public has looked at the models being produced in, say, Germany and asked the question, why are our models little more than crudely shaped boxes in comparison? The model manufacturers responded and gave us finer quality models whilst retaining our underscale track (and st the same time prices rose to cover the cost of designing and manufacturing such highly detailed models in response to this demand only to be accused of fleecing the modellers, but that's another story). In the UK we have been lumbered with inaccurate track gauge for so long now nothing in that area will change save for the fineness of the rails and the spacing of the sleepers. And one of the reasons for this is Hornby. During WW2 there were proposals to standardise on 18.2mm track but Hornby, the only large scale manufacturer, opposed this leaving us with inaccurate track. Whilst 18.2mm is still under scale by 0.63mm, this is not so obviously underscale at normal viewing distances. As for sleeper spacings, well these do vary in reality (check out the ECML at Grantham where one track has PECO-esque spacings). So yes, the track is inaccurate, but that is not the issue here because I'm making this point in relation to British ready-to-run modelling practices in our most popular gauge. This layout is spoilt by poor non-railway modelling ie the road markings. These are as crudely done as the rolling stock models of the 1980s when compared to today's models. And yes, the details for accurately modelling is readily available online.
