Mate, I’m blown away. This is the third video have watched. The last one of just trains running was mind blowing. What a beautiful layout. I’m stunned. The hours you have put into this, and the creativity. The music, the filming. You are a very talented man. Thank you very very much for sharing. There’s no words other than these pathetic lame words I can find to express what my eyes have seen.

Excellent sculpting of Ruby, matches the fine detail of the cyclists, magnificent. Impressed with how quiet the mago rail system is, just shows what can be done when you do it properly and follow instructions! Good job canopy left loose, you can have it either way as the mood takes you! Stephen

I just got my Magnorail running. As you stated and i totally agree it is very quiet. I have mine going over a covered wooden bridge (Plastic) and the sound is just like in real life when one drives through one. Great job on the dog and painting of the figures.

That magnorail is the dogs danglies Graham! Absolutely love those bikes running around, you’ve done a cracking job on it mate, whoever said it was crap and noisy should be eating their words right now, well done, cheers Darrell

I can't believe you managed to do such a good job of carving your model dog. And lovely to see these bikes moving around - it all brought a smile to my face. Smart job too. thanks for sharing, regs rob

I cannot believe the progress astonishing and the 'low' camera just for me gave a total perspective of what you have and are wanting to achieve, your achievements are providing so much motivation for the rest of us to do more and look deeper into our imagination. Good stuff mate thankyou.

Evening Graham, i think the canopy works both waysas in, on gives older way of pride & care in the town, off because beyond repair like many have had. A high street modern airier revamp many towns/cities have gone through and it gives up play options. Village is coming on strong and that last shot of bikes coming through was atmospheric.cheers ken

Don't matter how many times you see that.... it's amazing, and Ruby looks great 🌈😷🇬🇧

Graham the dog touch is like the WOW factor mate! I can just see any peeps viewing it at your house and being overwhelmed by the amount of detail and then BAM you hit them with you two cycling outta the garage as the finale 😎 Me like many of your other viewers have sooooooo looked forward to your videos in this insane lockdown period of 2020 mate! Keep ‘em coming! JohnE

Best magna-rail bikes I've seen. Always thought that the canopy was overkill, perhaps replace it with a couple of modern bus shelters. I've watched Kathy Mallet (I think that's right) who shows some great road modelling ideas. I'm in awe of the dog. Stay safe.

Hi Graham, your cyclist are fantastic, I've seen cars, buses and lorries move around on layout but cycling around and with their little legs doing15 to a dozen was and still is great,no wonder your very please with them. Just love your vids, look forward to the next one

Wow Graham, your attention to detail astounds me ,that. tiny tiny model of Ruby takes my breath away. You are by far my favourite modeller on utube and a great inspiration to me,if only I had half your patience and modelling skills I would be a very happy and contented enthusiast indeed

Morning Graham Great job with the Magnorail, bringing the Village to life,

Hello Graham, the Magnorail looks and works great. The action of the cyclists is so real, it’s amazing seeing them cycle thru town. Your layout never ceases to impress. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍😎😎😎 Cary

Hi Graham, an old subscriber, I'm still following and enjoying your 2nd Lakeside layout , your ideas are always unique and original and often bring a smile :-)), and, like everyone else, I can't wait for each new video Thanks - Paul

Loving the village scene Graham. Looking forward to further updates. Cheers Sean

Really good graham, it seems to work very smoothly. I think keeping it simple is key, the more your have on it i.e. cars the more problems you'll encounter. The two bikes having a leisurely ride looks enough for me, it's a village scene after all not a motorway or main road. Nice touch with the basket and dog, I know first hand how small and fiddly these bikes are..bloody hell the little square magnets are so strong. Great watch.

Fantastic workmanship Graham you are a very talented man.

Love the bikes Graham. Great to see the little dog in the basket too. Without the canopy certainly opens the scene out. Very enjoyable. All the best.

Graham I really don't know what to say, your modeling skills are beyond anything I've seen, those bikes and figures are magnificent, such attention to detail, and brilliant photography those shots of you and Hazel and ruby coming out of the garage and then disappear back in. And then the shot of you cycling down the street and disappear around the side track ,added such drama . What I can't figure out at the moment is how your going to open it up for the public to get to see the Finished result ha ha. Well done Graham you and your family stay safe, don't be tempted out to soon. Eddy xx

Wow Graham love those bikes,just adds something different. Keep up the great work mate 🥃🥃👍🏻

I agree with you Graham it lifts the atmosphere in that corner and shows of your modeling skills to it's best all the best Graham and stay safe. We are just coming out of Covid in Western Australia and first day back at the Model rail club on Saturday after lots of Cabin Fever Bill Pickering

The little dog is wonderful. You must have the patients of a Saint. It is the little things that bring a scene to life. This is when a Model Railway becomes more than just a train set. (Not that I have anything against a Train Set.) Martin. (Thailand)

Graham, I look forward to your updates every week usually watching on Monday morning whilst enjoying toast and a cuppa. When the cyclists came out with moving legs I nearly choked on my toast, Brilliant! As a first attempt I am scratch building my home town Brunel built station sadly removed by our lack of foresight council, I could never aspire to your detail but I gain so much inspiration from your work, and therefore taking my time with my project to get it as close as possible working from a limited amount of photographs. Stay safe stay healthy and keep your great vids coming, ps the sound of the magnorail is hardly noticeable to me, best wishes

Well that works well, the Magnarail I mean................but omg those bikes are so tiny...........Looks like the village is coming along nicely, it'll be lovely to see it all finished................As for the Bus Station canopy, yeah I'd leave it off too. But then it's your choice in the end isn't it. Best regards Dave.

Cyclists are fantastic Graham. Removal of canopy seems to brighten bus station. Great work.

Wow the bikes are great. You did a really good job of painting them, do not think my eyes could see something that small.

Hi Graham It's great it's coming together very nicely and the bikes there fab.

Hi Graham, the whole layout is looking fantastic. The bus station looks ace without the canopy as you say you can see all the work that has gone in to it. As for the village and the magnorail Brilliant.

Again Graham great modelling superb work, I'm awaiting the next vid cheers

Great stuff Graham! I love the Magnorail animated bikers since I saw them about 3 years ago. Excellent work on the dog, too. That is not as easy as one might think. The village has taken a big step forward even if not in place yet... the grey acrylic and road, the stone walkway, etc. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

Awesome Graham, that is all...awesome and a great addition to Lakeside. Cheers, Chris

Inspired and stunning job as usual, impressive additions!👍😍😍😍

Hi Graham as I mentioned on FB this is really a brilliant piece of modelling and well done on the problem solving the result is superb. For what its worth I like the Bus Station without the canopy and the lights on the station look good also. Keep Well Cheers Kev

What is so impressive is not just that you have a very vivid picture in your head of what you want but that you have the skill and patience to make that reality.

Luv the bikes, the riders legs going nine to the dozen, really great, cant wait for the scenery going down.

Once again a superb job done Graham...Loved it..great to see it running.................cheers allan

Another awesome effort Graham. I admire the way you add story components to every scene you create. BTW - I think the bus terminal looks great without a canopy as you can admire the detail. Unfortunately the bus commuters may not agree.

Love all the new stuff, bicycles are amazing. Never seen that before. I agree that I'd lose the canopy at the bus stop if it covers up all that great detail. Not sure if practical, but what about just a canopy over the bus benches at bit higher? Can't tell if that would still make it possible to see the details. Thanks for sharing your narrative of the build. Always fun.

Hi Graham I like the cyclist and the dog in the basket and all painted looks great very nice but all takes time you will get there. Each video is getting better covering the work. Cheers Dave.

Hello Allan, Ruby seems pretty happy to be out with Hazel and yourself. Nice job on Ruby. To say you haven’t been busy, a lot was accomplished since the last video. The village is coming along nicely. Your Magnorail is very quiet compared to some I’ve seen. Great stuff. Thanks. See ya next time. Oh I’m with the non canopy group. Too much detail to be hidden. But, in the end it’s yours to decide.

Absolutely brilliant Graham - always in search of perfection!!

Fantastic Graham love the little ruby it certainly gives the layout caricature I like the bus station without the canopy but it’s your preference look forward to the next video cheers Graham.... :0) .... Chris

Graham, another very enjoyable episode. I can understand the Bus Depot quandary. Visually I'd opt for; "Without Canopy." Adding Ruby to your cycle ride is a great touch. cheers john

Hi Graham. The option of no canopy appeals to me, but it does seem a good idea to have the option. The pedal power section is very good indeed. Looking forward to the next video. Stay safe as always Cheers, Bob

Awesome update Graham!! The Magnorail is exceptional! I like Hazel and Ruby very much. Well done. The bus station area looks much better without the canopy. Cheers Onno.

looks fantastic Graham, the Magnorail makes a lovely addition to the village, look forward to see the village progress Andy

Absolutely superb stuff! Love the bikes especially - brilliant modelling.

Getting better and better Graham, I think the bus depot looks better without the Canopy.

Wow Graham, what a great job you have done done with the Magnorail. I just love Ruby in Hazel's bike basket, which really looks great. I think taking off the bus station canopy does show much more detail to the building interior, but makes the actual building itself, look a bit bland. It's a hard decision to make I suppose, but maybe just swap and change when you feel like it, is what I would do. Speak to you tomorrow. Cheers for now mate....................Geoff

I never realised their legs would move!!! 🤣🤣👍 Great work and a brilliant idea using the acrylic sheet too.

Your attention to detail Graham is amazing , superb video as ever

Most of what I was going to comment has already been covered by others.😁 Brilliant idea adding Ruby, looks great. I never even considered the coach station *without* the canopy, just kinda took it for granted. I certainly see what you mean; you can see a good bit more without it. Would something similar, but much smaller, be a possibility? Enough to give a wee bit of shelter, maybe minus the overall roof? Tricky decision.😁 One thing is becoming clear though. At the "village end", the trackwork will, very much, become "part of the landscape" with the variations in ground height. The flat board with track on can look very "train set" but this is getting more "miniature landscape" with every passing week.👍👌 Cheers for now, Dougie.

I hope people are keeping to social distancing travelling on the buses. But it is nice to see the shops in Kings Way open again.

I love the Magnor rail cyclists Graham :-) Looking brill mate. I like the look of the bus station without the canopy. Shows all the detail you have done. Take care. Cheers Iain

Taking shape nicely Graham. Really love the the little bikes, they are so realistic. I am getting a great picture in my mind when you describe the future plans. Keep up with the superb work. Clive.

Looks great Graham the cycles really look good looking forward to you doing the rest of the village, phil

The rail system and bikes are one thing but the modelling of Ruby is yet again a step above ! have a great week and stay safe when your out and about.PS can I join the ranks of those that like “ no canopy” ! Maybe a different type of small shelter(s) similar to some of your train platforms.

Bet some redevelper has his eye on that village with it being so close to town and station lol , look’s great Graham , I prefer the canopy now I’ve said that I’m getting my coat and running lol

That final view of you two (and Ruby) pedaling towards the camera says it all really.

"My, what BIG hands you have grandma!" ;) It's looking better and better all the time I love the little details that I would have never have thought of, such as the TV aerials. The dog to looks amazing. My partner loves it especially as she is trying to source a bike basket for our Chihuahua. Personally I think the station looks better without the canopy too. I can't wait to see further progress! :D

Mate, I can't even begin to tell you how much I love watching the progress of the bikes. The idea of modelling yourself, Hazel and Ruby and also your lovely home is absolutely wonderful and a joy to watch. I don't know if you remember, but I don't have a layout any more since we emigrated 17 years ago. However, thanks to your regular updates and great camera angles I feel as though Lakeside is also in our home and fills the gap, if you know what I mean. The shot at the very end is quite stunning and melted my heart. Kind regards, Paul.

the village is looking very good, When you say use your imagination it didnt take much as you have amped it out well and I can see how it will come together, Love the dog In the barsket. After all the tinkering about with the bikes you have it running very nice (when branches don't get in the way)

Great video graham nice to see some more progress

The bikes and the length of the width of your finger. Now that is tiny. Like little jewels. You'll have to be very careful with that. They are very cute. Excellent choice. Rob

Looks fantastic really nice work.

I was looking forward to seeing the Wagon Works "fluorescent" lights - might just invest in some - they look great. Glad you sorted out the running surface for the Magnorail and a great job on the cyclist, and wee friend, figures too. No BMX tricks as you go round that corner! Cheers

Those bikes are superb. Outstanding cycling skills on negotiating the garage back door at speed! Beautiful layout and expertly built. Truly inspirational on all counts. If the white road markings that you want to tone down are vinyl could you mist them over with a quick pass of the airbrush loaded with the road colour? Alternatively a dry brush technique using a piece of sponge with loaded with the road colour? Great work though...keep it coming.

You done a great job on the bikes.

Very charming Graham. All the best, N

Graham just love that! The bikes look great and btw my dog is called Ruby too ( cocker spaniel) - really enjoy your layout

getting better every week well done mate

hi, graham yes have to agree with you the canopy of looks very nice you can see the detail much better. i too did not release that the legs on the cyclists would move outstanding 👍 the village is starting to get some real character. enjoy the rest of your weekend all the best al 🙋‍♂️😁😁👍👍👍👍

Brilliant. Well done on the cyclist details. That is indeed almost building on the head of a pin. Love the dog in the basket. That route is gonna wear your model selves out with the clip they are cycling. Leisurely it is not. :) Greetings from Sammamish.

i love the personal touch added. bikes touring lakeside and your pup along for the ride.

That looks cracking Graham. I think the Magnarail might be the best bit lol. It certainly adds a lot of charm to the layout with the personalized figures.

Got to say it graham you are an outstanding modeller !

That is incredible Graham’ well done

Totally agree with you on the canopy not being in the bus station. Thought it myself last video. If there is an indoor waiting room with numbered doors/stances, then no need surely?

just wonderful my friend..well done.

Brilliant mate you know in your minds I what you want👍

It looks brilliant Graham 😀

Awesome Graham, it looks really cool and very quiet running. Take care - Kevin

Looks good Graham, Much better with that acrylic sheet. Now I need a rest after using all that imagination lol.

Well ... that was brilliant !

Very nice and the dog looks good

Better without the canopy 😊. It’s not a Criticism. Really pleased you have completed weathering the track, its looks the business 👍

Hi Graham, I tend to agree with the canopy removal but not necessary all the time. All the seating on the pavement looked OK with the canopy in place but without the canopy, they don't look right for some reason. I can't explain it, it could be just me. Barry.Devon

Wow really good , I’ve order some plastic for my magnarail and will rip out the photo paper . Great video it’s look super your layout

Hi mate one for that update is brilliant

Graham, The bikes are wonderful! Another interesting scene on the way. I'm with you as far as the bus station goes. If you think you still need a canopy, maybe something lightweight like the ones over the platform steps would do, halved lengthwise. Or, similar veranda style. Be interesting to see what you decide. Regards Stephen.

Brilliant as always Graham, BUT I do think you should stop at the pub occasionally. Ruby needs a drink.

Why aren't you both wearing cycling helmets? Only joking Graham.....this is looking fantastic....so impressed! Love the Ruby addition as well! You've got a quandary with the bus station canopy...I like the canopy but it looks a bit more "contemporary" without it if that makes sense. I don't know many bus stations that have them these days but I like the extra detail ... that's just me though. I see a few posts from followers that prefer the layout without it for reasons just as valid. Keep up the great work and looking forward to your next video. 👍

Loved the cyclists - I wonder what Mrs Foulston's opinion is? As to the canopy, I'm pretty sure that when Victoria Coach Station was first built, it did not have the canopy, which was a later addition. So that is another excuse to get rid of it, if you wish. Peter

I really do think it looks better without the canopy, Graham.

great video bro

Great! I'm doing work on my railway soon

Love it

Can you do a video of how you do your metcalfe

Witch two road system is the cheapest? Magnorail or Faller?
