I love how the track keeps expanding organically. Also, I’m sure I run more extreme train combinations that would annoy more…

Think the steam locos take us all back to younger years and fond memories of those times...we feel comfort in that zone don't you think?

Bargains galore....certainly looking great ....like the crossovers just outside the tunnel entrance........

Hurrah! Thank-you all! I do prefer slower moving trains.

Love the progress. Had no idea that Hornby ever made the Ivatt with the early BR crest! AND I love that Restaurant Car running behind the Ivatt. Must be a fairly rare model as well.

Looking good, there’s a lot going on there now! Have a good holiday.

The 3d printed loco pit's mint👍🚂🇨🇦🇬🇧

Hi Mike & Doug it really look's great and it's more fun not counting rivets.I alway's put your name forward on FB when someone asks a question on layout building and they don't want to spend a fortune :)

Very interesting layout. I have just dismantled a three tier layout based on Preston in England. Unlike you, all the locos, including numbers, were prototypical of that area in the 1950's. However, your scenic work is very good. By the way, my layout had 34 locos obit ranging from an L&Y pug through jintys, class 5's , jubilees, four superd's and two du.chesses. All good fun to operate

Looks great and run what you like ,as model railways are each persons own creation and its about having fun and enjoyment and great to do things like a ' what if ' like steam might of gone on to the early 80s ? Imagine steam locos painted BR deisel loco blue ?. Those Ivats are lovely I have 2 bachmann ones and great runners too, have a lovely holiday.

You quite often do things that were unexpected,but this video has surpassed the normal levels! The single slip has made that area much better and added to the operating flexibility, and the fuelling point is a great addition, not least as I guess it effectively provides a loco stabling point! 💡🤓 As for the upper level, I think we can safely say now that the idea of developing that corner was the right one, and that new industrial section adds much more to it! The way the storage roads are too allows you to essentially do ‘point-to-point’ trip workings starting at the goods shed or industrial siding and terminating in the storage siding where you can change loco and stock whilst leaving the loop free for a local service to run 😎 I didn’t even notice the new station design (must have missed it) but the goods shed and siding entrance have created a great wee scene 😃 Cheers chaps! You have both created a fabulous railway and it will surely only get better! 😎🍀🍻👍

I went to a local model railway sale near to where I live only in a small village hall I was expecting high prices similar to eBay, I couldn’t believe the bargains to be had! If you’re looking for bargains get yourself out there and see them in person so you know exactly what you’re getting. The sellers were extremely friendly and very honest from my experience

Outstanding work. Really is developing and I, like yourself, just like running trains 👍

Top layout looks class! Proper light railway vibes

This layout keeps getting more and more amazing every update. I always mention your channel on other popular model railway channels and some are even doing the whole affordable old locomotive idea of looking at old models and enhancing them.

Can't say I don't have an odd running session sometimes too. Have my HST on the outer loop with my 0-4-0 on the inner pulling a local goods 😆

Looks great nice to see things done cheap dve

Love your approach to running what you like and not worrying about what others think.

Nice update on the shed layout Mike. The addition of the small TMD and Industrial area has added some more interest to the layout.

Loving the new viewing angles of trains running on the layout. Thanks for posting.

Hi Mike. Coming along nicely. Full marks to Dougie for being creative when you're not around! Keep it going lads, it'll be worth it when it's finished. Paul. 👍❤

Excellent chaps, great new additions, keep up the great work

Layout coming on nicely good progress I have a varied collection of stock and think it's more interesting and yes you can use just about anything too make a model railway looking good all the best 👍

Progress looks great. You really are packing a huge amount of different scenery in a small space. Excellent work. You are one of the linked channels on my channel, which is my way of spreading the word. 👍 Sadly, I don't get many views, but it all helps. Happy modelling. Mon

I couldn't care less what trains you run I enjoy.watching them go around your layout

loving this layout Mike...and the way it's developing...and the mix of trains...

Great update you've shared. 😊

Enjoyed watching yr video here. An have a great day today Guys 😊

This is just simply awesome.

It's great to be able to keep track of your progress with this layout. Very very impressive

Very very nice. I love when things are starting to come together. You have yours well in hand. The layout has come a long way. You're inspiring me. Thanks again.

Excellent! I love your layout. I find there is lots of motion, which I like. Nice work!

Looking good ,enjoy your holiday with er indoors 🤭😁

That's a very impressive layout ,great design,intricate and interesting. There is a lot going on.Well done lads 😊

Great stuff lads

Looking superb !

Some really lovely live action shots there at the end. Well done lads. 👍

Wow just keeps growing

Brilliant work as ever guys, given me so many ideas for my next layout when I move. My new layout will be inside in a spare room, which I'm looking forward to in winter months. Show be able to get a layout about 10ft by 6ft, smaller then I've had before, but any layout is better than no layout as you say

Great progress enjoy your holiday

Fantastic updates. So good to see your imaginations running riot. The different levels are looking great, and I love how you're running layouts basically side by side. All very inventive :)

Excellent video guys I love what you achieve.

👍👍Great update! Nice additions to your layout. 🚂🚂

Great progress! On the upper loop, what does the big red "X" on the black box car mean? Enjoy your holiday. Cheers.

Amazing🇮🇩
