Excellent video Tris, thanks for including the detail of your airbrush equipment and details.

Hi Tris I find that placing trucking and ground signals before ballasting is easier (just my opinion), nice little interesting shunting layout coming together well. Thanks for sharing regards Barry..👍

Another really helpful, informative video. Thx for the airbrush info, as it’s all new to me! Looking forward to following the next steps.

Enjoyed the video with all the movement and sound

that made such a difference well done

Excellent video Tris. Painting the track makes such a difference!. I did the same to my layout a few days ago and it came out great!

Great format keeping to 15 min chunks, great content and tips. Still love your loco builds so hopefully more of this in the future

If you mix coal with ballast it adds a realistic look of a working railway

Enjoyed the video thank you

This is becoming a really good layout the short format is a great idea because it always gives us something to look forward to on a Friday night or Saturday morning.

For a shunting layout, it’s gorgeous, Tris!! You’re doing a wonderful job of decorating the layout, and it’s getting really interesting to see.

I’ve seen so many others painting their tracks and talking about making sure the points don’t stick BUT I’ve never seen anyone do what you did. That’s a great idea!

Hello from the UK !

Another great video and love the pace of this series - it gives plenty of time to digest your techniques so I am better placed when I have a go.

Cracking series Tris. Helps me no end, when life gets challenging ✌️💜😊👍

I find it interesting to see how a shunting layout is cerated. It demonstrates the use of junctions of different types to control the destination and location of a train.

Another really good episode. Thank you Tris, almost worth buying an airbrush just to do the track!

Hi Tris, I’ve been following the mini layout with great interest, both in the construction of the track but more in the buildings. I’ve been inspired by the yard and I’m going to incorporate a similar one in my new layout. Love the channel and the way you present it 👍

Great little layout I’ve been watching from the start to as you post the videos. It’s been well thought out

Another excellent episode Tris thank you sharing

Hi Tris. Great video. I am hoping to really get started on my layout. I have a few things to get sorted out in the workshop, and then I can get started on the trestles for the track. Well done on your small layout. I am taking you advice and doing a little at a time. That way I don't get fed up with it and leave it alone for a long time. Thank you.😊

When. The series is done can you take all the vedeos and combine them in to a full progress vedeo thanks tris😊

Great video and good tip re keeping the blades clean - now where did I put my blue tack? 😉

Looking good mate ..great video ...defo would like to see some running videos Tris ..love the loco 👍

Very lovely and convincing.

Surely you don’t want a blinking great 31/33 or even a 25 for shunting rolling stock!!

good vid thanks lee

Loving this series Tris. Great to see your methodology and quality execution. Very good modelling, hoping to learn to be a 1/4 as talented 😂. I'm looking at wiring up my shelf layout, at research stage and sorry but was hoping to benefit from your experience. Ps. Videos on my channel if you want the context. Essentially it runs around the top of my 3 x 3 m cabin on a 200mm wide shelf and has 2 stations either side. My original plan was to have a switch box each. But my question, is it better to have one central box to control everything in your view? I'm not sure what would work best when running. Keep up the fantastic work 🎉

Do a running session with wagons

Nicely done. It will be interesting to see how this turns out. I had painted the track prior to ballasting on my narrow gauge layout and then weathered the ballast afterwards. However, on the layout I'm building for the children I've simply ballasted the raw track and then painted and weathered the track and ballast in one operation with various shades of grime using an airbrush. I really like the result and it was much easier and quicker overall. I tried out both methods on some scrap track first and results were similar. Incidentally, how are you going to do uncoupling on the layout? On my shunting layout I've chosen to use Kadees with homemade ND uncoupling magnets at strategic locations.

Loving this series! One question - when checking the track after doing the painting would it not be better to test using the shortest wheelbase locomotive have?

Hi Tris, just admiring your shelves of paints. Did you get them all in one go or separately? Also liking the spray gun. Keep up the good work, feeling inspired

Great video, I’m building a similar thing myself at the moment 👍🏻 what point switches did you use?

Please can you
