Thank you for explaining the track components needed to build an inglenook shunting layout. Your video has helped a novice greatly on what to purchase, enabling the resurrection of my ancient Hornby train set..

a friend of mine had a similar concept, with the portable roof, he created a small scenic section within it, one point, two pieces of track and some minor scenic details of embankment. The sides were connected by bolts, this allowed the ends to come off and this created fiddle yard. Okay, it wasn't designed to go on a motorcycle, but it worked

That’s certainly a nice little layout!! I like the little Jinty locomotive. And it will be interesting to see what else you use on this project.

The roofing felt looks great. In previous videos I've seen you paint up the track which blends it together quite nicely.

Some personal thoughts here : -Anytime I see one of your layout, I can't get out of my head the idea that your best concept for model railways is the use of roofing felt for ballast. Superbly convincing, costs pennies, no more complicating to use than paper or cardboard ; -The Inglenook is, to industrial layout, what the Minories is to city terminal stations : simple, with great possibilities, and even prototypical in some ways. Thanks to refresh the concept ! -Personal opinion : Peco Setrack is, for me, after extensive study of the question, the best track for modellers due to reasonable costs and ease of use, plus great availability, new and second hand. Sole drawback I find is the lack of more realistic points (I mean : longer) for mainline and stations. It can be addressed by using Streamline points but it is not, for me, a good workaround. Remains Hornby express points, not a good solution too for me. Hope that Peco will address this someday, plus a three-way point and a double slip would be nide to have in Setrack form.

Filly agree about Peco a short 3way point would be great for shunting layouts

If you hinge the lid suitably, you could actually put some track on it to store spare rolling stock at shows. Obviously not connected like a fiddle yard, but would give you space for storage. Alternatively, you could even use it as a shelf for a cassette fiddle yard! It’s a shame you don’t get Marklin C-track adapters to use with Peco/Hornby, as it’s meant to make such cassettes really easy due to the connectors… Marklin of Sweden did a very neat display case/cassette system, using little more than a few 2x1 timbers with c-track glued on!

Hello, I've been building an N gauge circular layout and am considering adding an inglenook shunting section for variety. What would you recommend as the ideal number of wagons?

Hi my friend Just a quick question in regards to something you mentioned in this video In regards to using roofing film as ballast Would you please be able to give me a link to the stuff you use As im in Australia an i haveing a hard time finding something that looks like you use Look forward to hearing from you Thanks gavin from Australia
@BudgetModelRailways2 ай бұрын
Not sure what it's called in Australia or if its available. We use it for shed roofs. It's not practical to buy it as it comes on huge rolls, I use off cuts. Both Javis and gauge master in the UK make dedicated ballast mat if that helps

Hi Mike, Enjoyed your latest video on the 00 Inglenook shunting layout. I was a bit puzzled by the extended section to the left of the 80 x 20cm section. Is that allowed for the Inglenook shunting purists?
@BudgetModelRailways2 ай бұрын
It's the head shunt, non scenic, without it there is no way to shunt the layout
@andrewmasters50202 ай бұрын
I think the 'purist' would only allow loco + 3 wagons. I think this is what you're raising. I'd be happy to have a longer headshunt if I had the space on my layout.

Weird-ish question, but any tips for better smoother running? I blame my rubbish Hornby controller but my layour seems to have pretty poor continuity... Any ideas? Controller suggestions? Thanks :)
