Two you tubers stand out for scratch building , yourself Tony and Chandwell , absolutely superb well done

There Just aren’t enough words to describe this level of Attention to detail 🙌🏻✨

Hi Tony, another fascinating video of a master scratch builder at work. Always enjoy spending time with you. Blessings

Another masterpiece, it’s all in the detail. The lift is fantastic, thank you for sharing your progress. Have a great weekend Tony, cheers Daz.

Hi Tony, love the fact that the English use the word PUB as enthusiastically as we Aussies do ! After years of watching utube train layouts ive finally built my table and started to lay tracks (n gauge ) 800mm ×4800mm ,to say im excited is an understatement😆😆😆! Your lift looks amazing, remember riding these lifts back in the early 70s, looking forward to next video 😊😊😊regards Marc

The station cat. 😊. What a lovely touch you have, Tony.The arched top light does make the doors look infinitely better. Love your tunnel entrance. cheers, Rob

Thanks for another relaxing build, Tony - quite therapeutic. Your skill is remarkable.

Always look forward to your videos

Great watch Tony… Always enjoy your attention to details and skills in bringing it to life.. Take care, Chris nJules

You've really taken your modelling to another level

Hi Tony, great figures(including the dimensions), they soon add up too. Great idea on the lift and what a beautiful construction, ditto the framing etc. Take it the lift goes down to the lower street level. Took us back to the old Schofield’s and Lewis’s store in Leeds and their suite of lifts with compulsory lift operators, showing our ages now. Take care both of you. All the best Celia and Stephen

Hi Tony, Well what an uplifting video this is all thats needed now are some walls and a roof and passengers to the station can wait in comfort so get those workers back from the pub and it they do not get the Bachmann Boys from Daves Trains in. Cheers Robert.

Dear Tony, enjoyed the video very, very much! Love the detailed way you showed the build of the elevator cage. Amazing how you created the structure of the transport elevator box with such simple materials. Beautiful job on the concertina doors, door handles, open structure of the cage. Great addition of the small windows on the concertina doors. Will be very interesting to see the elevator incorporated into the Tyne Dock Station building. Am not aware what kind of level indicators such elevators would have been fitted with. Got about three on my ‘hard drive;’ all in the similar old fashion style open steel structure with (double) concertina doors. All of those elevators were located inside the buildings. One in an apartment building in Stockholm, which was fitted with a kind of ‘occupied’ lever, which flipped up as a person closed the doors. Level indicators with a light bulb line above the outside doors. Second in a Paris hotel, which had been fitted with just a similar light bulb line. Third one in either Santiago de Chile or Valparaiso, which was inside a market hall. This one only went up and down two levels. On the ground floor of the hall, all the market stalls were located, on the second floor mezzanine there were several small restaurants and shops. This elevator was just fitted with an arrow. Pointing up when the elevator was either traveling to or located on the second floor, pointing down when the elevator was moving to or in position at the first floor. Can only look in my crystal ball if you’re planning to add such a feature. It’s just the experience of these elevators I wanted to share, because they left such a lasting impression. Marvelous tip on adding the window sill to make a little ledge for ease of painting. Love the doubling of the windows and doors! Absolutely agree on the effect of shaving you did on the upper windows of the doors. Even though the doors look great at first glance, the outer rim around the door window seem accurately even in width, it makes ‘m look a bit to modern. By shaving the curve these doors come much closer to the doors you’ve shown on the photos of the Tyne Dock. Further, this little tweak also helps to make the doors look a little larger than they are. As such the tweaked doors are an excellent example of how height perception can be improved with just a little bit of shaving, think it will help to ‘lift’ up the structure to the eyes. That last one also to keep in concordance with the elevation element of your video. Cheerio

Tony . To all Your followers- The mesh can be purchased from a car accessory shop. It is used to fill in holes for a cars body work. I used it for covers between the tracks at a fuelling point at my diesel depot. Has many good alternative uses. Another good build. Regards John

Remarkable Tony, that is an amazing lift, the detail is incredible. We're back to one of Tony's favourite saying, yes but I know it's there !!!! 😂. Its always exciting to see something you've never done before. The planning for your builds is great this why they look so good, those doors and windows are looking great, good work again, I think the lads have done well so as it's Friday night (end of the week) I think a quick pint before we head home. We're in Surrey for this last week bit of grandchildren sitting. And today I'm off to watch the eldest "Sam" play his last football match of the season. Then tomorrow We're off home to Devon. Good week Tony, love to Laura see you next time. Eddy xx

Nice video Tony. The lift is something I'm very interested in! looking forward to seeing that complete. Nice to see the beginnings of the station building.

The lift is a cracking idea, Tony, or as they say in Yorkshire, a belter.

Thank you for sharing, Tony.

Hi Tony, I've been totally mesmerized by your craft on the new Tyne Dock station, it's really starting to look the business. Also interesting to see you handle a Meccano Limited made Hornby Dublo Dinky platform tractor and trailer, as far as I am aware, Triang didn't produce these after the takeover in 1964. They have a value and are lovely items to use on any model railway.

Great idea to add a freight lift to the layout Tony, not a thing you see represented very often, and you're version is top drew stuff. Great addition.

Most excellent work as usual mate. Remember those concertina gated elevators. They were usually solid walled painted government issue institution green. They had a 8" x 5" horizontal brass handle /lock. I wonder if rather than overhead winching that would need headroom for winding wheels and motor mechanism, it would be a bottom mounted hydralic model. Great to see that cat back. The Lansing Bagnall baggage tractor was put out by Hornby Dublo. I have one in my collection of English railways stuff in storage as I'm trying to build a 1880s Western theme layout at present. Arthur.

Well-down Tony. I like the design of this build. I hope I can make an updated video of my layout before I have to take it down and move house. I was supposed to be here for life, maybe I have been given early release for good behaviour All the best. Martin. (Thailand)

Hey Tony, love the lift, very nicely modelled, detailing is excellent. Look forward to seeing this building progress. All the best. Brian

Hello Tony I hope your well The lift looks amazing great work I also really like the Bachmann figures. Take care my friend

I find your videos elevating, this one moreso than others. Really exciting progress Tony. Looking forward to next week ( post my knee surgery! ) Bye for now.

Brilliant work Tony👍📐🖊

I expect the Vicar's Wife will want to put her bundle of washing on one of the trolley's in the lift, rather than carrying it all the way up the stairs, especially as she is slightly overweight, and has a chesty cough, a dodgy knee, on account of so many role ups, and cheap woodbine, from Smokie Joe, in the pub. According to Mrs Tubbs, it is probably something to do with Bob The Brickie, and the Whole in The Wall Job by all accounts. I dare say, Jerry Springer will be asking if he can borrow, some tea bags, that have gone astray from the Station Master's Office. But no doubt the lift also will be a godsend for Mrs Simms after one too many. Maybe Bob The Brickie, and Mrs Simms, can be employed through a subcontract arrangement, to help build and install the lift on time.

Thats some intricate work mate, superbly done as always.

Well done Tony, it's looking really good

Great work (as always Tony) once again. A suggestion for your buildings, instead of two buildings, one either side of the steps, you could make one two storey building; one storey to the left of the steps; one storey to the right; joined by the second storey that passes over the steps (a sort of 'n' shaped building so to speak.) When you showed the photo of the real building I had to smile at the graffiti, 'Monty Stinks'. Local lads who don't get on perhaps....or could it be US General Patton passed that way during the war!!!

Good Evening Tony doors doors every way but none I can walk through. I remember using those lifts when I was delivering goods nightmare to get the lift floor just right for the trolley pump truck. Any way that's enough of my memory flash back. Stay safe my friend. Stephen

I always feel `lifted` (sorry couldn't resist using your words) when watching your videos Tony. Amazed at how you plan and work out your builds, food for thought and inspiration to us all many thanks for that, keep them coming as always looking forward to next stage of Tyne Dock station re-build. Take care regards Barry. 👍👏

Hy Tony, the Ford Anglia police car that I was going to add a flashing blue light to is a no go as the blue light on the model is smaller than a grain of rice and solid. There is no way of drilling it out to fit in the tiny led light. I am going to look for a police van, I would really like a Black Mariha but so far I can't find one with a light on the roof. All things come to he who waits 🤗

Hi Tony, very interesting video as I’m thinking I may need a lift or two at Exehaven here and there. Loved the way the windows came together and I’m really looking forward to buildings going around them! Hope you’re well, cheers mate, John

Once again, not only does the attention to detail stand out, but the coverage of so many nuances that would not necessarily be missed, yet add so much is uncanny. Beautiful builds again, and quite another Master Class in scratch building work.

Great stuff Tony, love the lift (no song involved lol).

good build nice work keep up the good vid you do on the channel lot time taken in to the builds in all your builds you do on the layout

Hi Tony welcome from a very very hot Thailand Tyne Dock is beginning to look good I have been looking through the smart models web site and have asked if the can deliver to Thailand they also do a lot of downloads which might be very useful so thank you for that useful website The lift is brilliant I don't know where you get your ideas from but thank you for sharing All the best see you next week

Hi Tony -As always informative and great entertainment . Nice to see a photo of the station but I thought the Monty Stinks comment was a little harsh !! Cheers Kev

From a very selfish point of view....I just love the builds,I enjoy the ingenuity and obvious love you have for your fantastic layout......Friday wouldn’t be Friday now without a latte and slice of North Eastern 😊

Was that Vera standing out side the pub with the workers. “Now pet I need to know who was behind the pub last night. Come on tell me then get back to work love. “ 😂

Was that 'Vera' outside the pub on a case 🤔 Great video Tony and nice work, keep them coming. Regards Terry.

Another great idea and build mate, just one point though, I doubt the lift door would be facing the platform edge because of the risk of trucks and barrows rolling out on to the track.

Good video, nice idea Theoretically does the lift go down to the side ramp from street level that leads towards the stairs in the platform, my visualisation not on the ball for this one

Did I spot Vera talking to the lads outside the pub - what's going on?

Hey Tony, thanks again for sharing⭐🌟🚂well done👍Regards Elizabeth @ Tauraco00
