hi Tom , i think the lampost on the narrow guage looks ok mate . Also , you've inspired me to investigate the plug and go', woodland scenics lighting , looks very simple compared to the nightmare of soldering etc..cheers

Really nice to have a tour around somebody else's layout especially when it includes double-headed Cromptons! 👍 So much to see too... 😎 Brings back memories of my attic layout - had a portable aircon unit up there which vented out tthrough the eaves. _It made a huge difference!_ ❄❄

I have two updates to share with you. Number 1: I asked Rails of Sheffield to cancel my pre-order of Dapol Foxcote Manor, because the factory team are taking way too long to release the model. The cancellation was done. I went with Plan B, which was quicker. I bought a new model of Hinton Manor, and then bought Foxcote Manor name and numberplates from Silver Tay Models, ebay. I now have Dapol Foxcote Manor my own way. Number 2: I've taken my first nerve-racking step forward with tiny N Gauge. I bought the track controller, pieces of curved and straight track, plus a GWR Toad Van and GWR Large Prairie Tank Engine from Cheltenham Model Centre online and ebay. My friend Alfie sent four N Gauge trucks (open wagons and closed vans) to me, through the post. The controller and track are set up. The engine and goods train are in a small cardboard box, at the bottom of my wardrobe. The first test run won't be seen till November. I'm nervous about handling the models.

Hi Tom, enjoyable update the 009 is coming on great and this must be the first video without a new locomotive 😂 cheers Al

My grandson enjoyed seeing the 009 update. He's been working on his this weekend and has uploaded part 2 of his build onto his Dylington Model Railway channel yesterday. He's been trying to work out if you could get another set of on points to split it into 3 tracks, two into the engine shed and one down the side of the water tank 🙄 honestly he's getting obsessed with trying to add extra track and more points. Since he filmed his video, he's come up with more ideas for his, which will mean lifting some of the track. Oh, he's impressed you've used track screws like he has. ..cheers James 🙂👍

Great update Tom

Nice update. Its all coming together well. Great work. Personally I wouldn't worry about the lamp on the 009 station looking too big. The whole scale is a bit distorted right? As long as you are consistent with what you install I'd say go for it. Your call though. 👍 Happy Modelling

In the real world lamps come in standard size so if your lamp is 00 or H0 scale then don't worry about how it looks in comparison to the trains because by nature the real narrow gauge trains probably look small to the real world lamps. In other words don't sweat it.
