I'm much too busy these days to construct a layout sadly. I come here to get my fix as it were. I last had a working layout back in the 70's -80's as a teenager. It was all so different with what you could buy back then. A fabulous layout Mick with an amazing collection of Diesel loco's. My jaw was dropping as the number went up. Thirty four Class 37's!! I'm sure there is a record here or two. Thanks for all the great videos Mick. They are immensely enjoyable. All the best to you and yours.

Hi Mick, absolutely stunning layout and video well done. Im just at the beginning of my layout journey as the wife bought me my very first train set. Only a small oval track with steam train and two carriages but im excited to get started in my loft. Oh btw I am 63 years of age so a very late starter. I will be looking at you for tips and inspiration. Thnx for sharing. Have a very joyous 2022 my friend

Hello Mik. By the way I am 71 and started this layout when I was 62 so your never to old. I'm sure you will enjoy it once you get going, mine took me 4 years to get most of it to this standard. Now I just keep adding details. Thanks for the comment and watching. Have a happy new year. Mick

The video took me 2 days to do, I did the first day didn't like it had to do it again but on the first vid I had the 67's forgot them on the retake. The 90's will come next vid when I do the electrics and the steam. Thanks for your continued support may be we can catch up at Ally Pally. Take care for now. Mick

Hi Mick, Happy Christmas to you. I notice you don’t have any class 58’s. Tempted? They are a great model. Question - within your fleet of loco’s what are you all time top 3? I would be interested to hear.
@michaelsmith-hn1cn2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment, sorry to say I just don't like the look of the 58, not tempted at all. Top 3 good question. I could mention so many because the livery is what makes me buy a Loco. The Midland Pullman is 1. The Hattons 66's is another and the Sutton's Loco's have got to be up there. My top Class of Loco is the 37. Have a good 2022 and thanks for your support. Mick
