Thanks Roger, I do like that era as well … so much variety! 👍

Many thanks George for the lovely comment … good idea about the night-time running … I’ve added that to the to-do list for future videos … watch this space! A few other videos in the pipeline and I’ve just loaded one to show the history of the layout … 👍

Many thanks, glad you enjoyed … and hopefully another video coming soon!

Many thanks! Hopefully brought back some good memories of the WCML for you …. and agree! An EMU or two would be good from one of the ready to run manufacturers … hopefully one day! 👍

Thanks Karl … glad you enjoyed … potentially another video maybe later this week! I do like the Heljan Class 86’s … and looking forward to the NSE liveried 86401 that has been recently announced … 👍

Many thanks, glad you enjoyed! Hopefully a new video coming soon as well as some new wagons due to arrive … 🤞🤞

Hi Darren, many thanks for the lovely comment, glad you enjoyed! 👍

Many thanks, glad you enjoyed 👍

@@ModelRailwayThanks very much for replying to my comment. That's the great part about the hobby sharing ideas and learning new ideas from other people to improve our Channel's so l have like and subscribe to your channel too .Stay safe DD

Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed 👍

Many thanks for the kind comments … some new wagons are due to arrive soon that we’re on pre-order, so hopefully the next video will be quite soon!

Awww, that’s wonderful to hear! Hopefully your grandson will take up the hobby in future years … a good hobby to have! And hope you have a layout or train set for him? 😉 Glad he enjoys watching and hopefully a new video coming soon 👍

Many thanks Julian! I’m glad I took quite a bit of time to plan the layout and track design quite a few years ago … it’s worked well so far, but could always do with more space! I did spend quite a bit of time on the floor recently doing the wiring for the new yard but I now have the drop-down boards that help! Kind regards, Mark

@@ModelRailway It is magnificent Mark. We could always do with more space...35' by 18' of unbroken, warm, dry room would be my ideal space! Unfortunately, back in the land of reality we have to make do with our outbuildings. I'm currently building a layout in an outhouse area which is two rooms joined together. It is a joint use area used for house storage and the railway so I don't have free rein. Awkward shapes, a fireplace and doorways/access limit the construction too. I have to crawl under it to get to the centre access area. I'm about a year in so there's an enormous amount to do and the track plan isn't finalised either! Yes, it's a bit on the hoof, our old friend Heath Robinson! .... I'd probably do a lot of it differently if I was starting from scratch again. Anyway, it is what it is now. If you'd like to follow its progress I have started my KZfaq channel now. That too is in its infancy! Keep up your video releases as they are really appreciated, inspirational and looked forward to. All the best, regards Julian

Many thanks for the kind comment … glad you enjoyed 👍

Many thanks for the kind comment … and yes, I tried to get a feel of the WCML in various parts of the layout … while not recreating any one location. The modern loco’s are lovely indeed … the main thing I like is the haulage and reliability and smoothness … so gives greater confidence of operating … and a few more loco’s on pre-order! 👍

Haha! 😊 I only clean the track once or twice a year …. I try and keep the shed dust free as much as possible, also use a dehumidifier to keep moisture/humidity down. For cleaning I use the CMX wagon and can take a few hours to run around the layout … also shunt stock out the way especially for the sidings … but regular running also helps keep the track clean! Glad you enjoyed the video! 👍

Glad you enjoyed … and yes, the new loco’s are lovely! a few others on pre-order as well …. and hopefully the next video will be much sooner! 🤞👍

Many thanks … and a few of the new Bachmann Class 90’s on pre-order! 😜

@@ModelRailway I am plannng to add a couple more too, DB 90028 and EWS 90030 ... but much more as and when ...

Many thanks for the kind comment … yes, can never have enough sidings! 😉 The wiring and finishing of the yard did drag on due to life and stuff, hence the time gap from the last video and recording and editing does take a time …. but hopefully the next video coming much sooner as some new wagons due to arrive! 🤞🤞😀

Many thanks … and that’s great to read! 👍

@@ModelRailway well technically inspired by Thai railways but some parts that you have I want to recreate

@@ModelRailway I think I only have space for 8 by 4 and a bit extra for a train station+ Helix can you give me tips on how to make a good layout?

@@ModelRailway will you get a class 800?

I actually worked on a part of the development of the 800’s many years ago … but it’s a bit too late for my layout so I’ll probably resist buying one … but never say never! The Hornby version does look good!

Thanks Chris for the kind comment, glad you enjoyed! No problem … yes, it’s a block-built building in the garden and it’s approx 22ft by 14ft (7m by 4.5m). I’m planning to do a history of the layout video at some stage using pictures I took during it’s construction … hope this helps, Mark 👍

Thanks for the comment and idea … a tricky bit with that is each of the corners already has something there and the two far corners have drop-down boards (the cricket pitch and farm) … good idea though! 👍

@@ModelRailway oh, oh well

Hi Scott, many thanks for the comment. The RES parcel train carriages are all manufactured by Bachmann … Codes 39-200 or 39-200 are the Super BG carriages, 39-270 is the code for the GUV’s and 39-183A is for the Full Brake BG. Hope this helps 👍

@@ModelRailway Thank you for the reply, the information is very useful.

Hi Andrew, thanks for the comment and the sub! I do like the WCML as well … so much variety over the years. My shed is approx 22ft by 14ft (7m by 4.5m) … your garage sounds a decent size and go for it! Good luck with building your layout … Kind regards, Mark

@@ModelRailway Glad you answered that because I was wondering with your ability to run full length trains. Excellent railway and an enjoyable running session.

Thanks for the comment and compliment … I try to get the track work well aligned to enable smooth and reliable running … but mishaps do occur sometimes! I currently use DC analogue for the layout (Gaugemaster controllers) and Peco solenoid point motors. I’m thinking of doing a more detailed behind the scenes video at some stage to cover the controls in more detail. hope this helps 👍

Almost forgot … I try to use dropper wires for each rail to avoid relying on the fishplates for electrical connection. I also use Electrofrog points (with auto switches) to try and have as much wheel to rail contact as possible for reliable electrical pickups.

Thanks for the info, i look forward to your next video 👍

I just got the class 90 in the same livery, great product

It’s a nice livery and the Bachmann 90s are lovely loco’s 👍

Thanks for the comment! 👍

@@ModelRailway I love your layout though
