That is fantastic. You deserve that cup of tea. I'd even throw in a Kit Kat for the obvious hard work you've put in to this piece of art! Mindblowing layout.

Mick- it is always a pleasure to watch Lakeside as there is always something new to see and the new Class 20 looks great. Those Stay Alives really work with 14 seconds of power which would mean even i could get decent running with my dodgy track work !!!!. Keep safe............................Cheers Kev

Hi Michael thanks for sharing a great running session. 14 seconds stay alive what would the bee Gees make of that (lol). Great to see you have joined in with the cup or should I say mug of tea. Love the sound of your class 37's, take care and stay safe..

Great layout and running session !! HC Treintje Herman from Belgium.

Wow Michael, what a great running session, only you can do the long rakes and they look fantastic. I am amazed at how long the stay works for they used to be huge. The chip makers need to fit plugs now so no need to solder although some fit stay alive if asked. Just as well you have the little room up there looking at the size of that mug LoL All the very best Peter Dixon

Hi mick, hope you’re good chief, wow what a running session, the good stay alive sound great, and the telescopic hood wagons on a long rake look so good, I can only dream to have that amount in O gauge plus the space too, presflios look great too, love this layout, still so much too see, take care chief,

Another great video. Brilliant that 14 second stay alive unit.

Thanks again Mick really good to see the stay alive in operation..another informative video....Chris

Hi Mick, great video keep them coming stay safe all the best TONY [ GRIFFIN STATION ].

Just gotta love this layout Mick, some great running shots as usual 👍

Nice sounding engines there just ticking over , thought I heard the incredible hulk at 14.21 as the colas unit was taking a left bend , could've been a grazing cow in nearby fields , as your directing the videos with great camera work , its more like one of those drone videos now than a Hollywood blockbuster , unstoppable 🚂🚉🚞______under seige 2 at lake side laylout, awesome , can almost smell the derv from the sleepers , Kung Fu , stay alive , certain irony in there somewhere , cheers Mick , awesome video

Looking and running superbly as per usual

Your ballasting and oily grime with the weed/grass placement is exquisite

Hi Mick, thank you for the mention and my coffee habit. lol. I love the look of the Harry Needle class 20 and that stay alive is incredible. Great camera work chasing the 37's and breakdown crane. I really enjoyed the running session and the SCER steam excursion was a real treat. I hope to make a couple of videos again soon. Regards, David.

Thankyou for the running session

4 X longer than mine!! Plus the width of it. Nice to watch you as usual

Like the video very much .Looking forward to more video.

Top stuff. Also have the class 20 harry needle, lovely Locomotive 👍🏻

Another great series of running shots Mick. Its a fabulous layout and I always enjoy watching. The 68 is a stunning loco in that livery, I have the same one, just waiting for the mk5 coaches to go with it. I must go over to digitrains and get some stay alives especially for my dmu's atb Andy

Excellent Michael!....those stay alives look impressive, are they easy to wire up?...do it they come with good instructions?

Good video keep posting updates up

Nice one Mick, just got me where I needed to be,

I like the Blue/grey engine on this video. It's very smooth sounding. Is it a Dapol as I wouldn't mind one myself.

Hi Great vlog I see you don't seem to use the Magnetic couplers from Hunt couplings I must be Confused as I thought it was you told us about them i have them but not had a chance to run them because of Covas and i don't have a lay out myself I run on our Clubs layout haven't been able to run now for 16 months

Great vid mate 👍💯👍 always time for a brew 👍

Micheal excellent video the stay live looks excellent. Are they hard to fit I'm a real novice.

SPAD... Signal Passed At Danger.

Do you have any London’s underground stock? Or does this area not interest you? I am trying to sell mine but I’d like to check with you first because it would be nice knowing it’s going to a fitting home. Warning, they’re stupidly priced nowadays haha!

I was expecting the loco to play the Bee Gees when I saw this title. Clickbait! :D :D :D

Ive became very disillusioned with the hobby, the engines are meant to be top quality and thus very expensive but yet you have to make modifications?

You have some very nice locomotives but you need to change your reviewing style. Repeating what you have said FOUR TIMES is a big turn off. You could of demonstrated it once on track and then shown the other locomotives and named them. Showing were they fitted and what you liked about the stayalive. I am guessing the power is stored in the capacitor for sound only ???? Try writing down the train you feature ie this is Class XX pulling mixed goods service ... This is a breakdown train common to have two locomotives (for extra weight when the crane is lifting???) Here we have Class XX backing the train onto Class XX. Both trains are now running the layout with my camera train Class XX with camera XX on a flat bed. Fill the dead spots in commentary by identifying the locomotives and features you pass.
