Hello Peter! Thank you so much for dropping by and for your lovely kind comment. I'm delighted that you like the video and hope you'll be able to enjoy some of the others. All the very best, Darryl 👍🚂

Thanks for your kind comment, Mon 👍🚂

Thank you so much for your kind comment. Like you, my layout is all about fun and perhaps also an opportunity to escape the real world for a bit as well! I'm glad you liked this video and hope you'll find time to have a look at some of the other episodes as well. Thank you again 👍🚂

Thank you so much - I really enjoy it, and hopefully get a little bit less wooden in the next and later episodes! 👍🚂

Thank you both for your kind comment. An escape from the rat race - exactly right. Thank you for subscribing -I hope you enjoy what we've got coming up 👍🚂

Thank you. It really has been a labour love (so far!), with potential for much more. We've got much more coming up, so please do stay tuned 👍🚂

Thanks so much Andy. I'm looking forward to taking a look at Shelvington 👍😁🚂

Thanks for your kind comment. I've had a few different layouts over the years and, whilst I realise I'm really lucky to have lots of space for Pringleton, I know I've had endless enjoyment from all of them. I hope you enjoy the next three episodes, and we'll be back with number five on Monday 13th May. Thanks again 👍🚂

Been modeling for over 60 years and still 'playing trains' . Nice and simple fictional railway every thing from dean singles to class 66's in my own livery. Can't wait to see more of yours.

Spot on! Thanks so much for the positive comment 👍🚂

Hi Pete. Thank you so much for your kind comments. I am very lucky to have the space for Pringleton - it started with the main double track oval section and then it rapidly became clear some looooong sidings and a loco depot were needed, hence the next section (created on old wardrobe doors!) I hope you enjoy the other episodes - back with no. on Monday 13th. Thank you again 👍🚂

Thanks Roy. I am indeed very fortunate to have a double garage with no need for any cars on it! Thanks for subscribing, and I will look forward to taking a look at your channel too 👍🚂

Thanks for your kind commnent Darren! Yes, I'd love to have a time machine and go back and start videos from the beginning - the benefit of hindsight eh?! Still, there's lots of construction to come and I'll be sure to capture all of that. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy #2 coming up later ...

Hi Martin. Thanks very much for your kind comment. We're back on Easter Monday with a look at our tasty little class 08 shunter. Until then ... 😁 👍🚂

@@PringletonModelRailway Your Welcome

Thank you - really appreciated 👍🚂

Thank you so much for your kind comment 👍🚂

Thanks so much for your kind comment, and for your personal insight. Model railways are definitely a positive distraction from life's challenges - mine are not anywhere near as tough as yours of course. Thank you for subscribing and I hope you enjoy our next edition - coming your way on Easter Monday. All good wishes 😊🚂

Hi Pete. Many thanks. Yes - I'd always wanted a nice long straight track and this layout finally gave me the opportunity! 👍🚂

Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy what we have coming up 👍🚂

Hello there. Thank you so much for your kind comment, glad you enjoyed. There's lots more to come ... 👍🚂

Hello there and thank you for your kind comment. There really is lots coming up - #2 covers my beloved Class 08 and, in a week or so, #3 looks at the Class 59 and features a special guest! Thank you again 👍🚂

Thanks Mark - that's very kind. We'll be back on Easter Monday with a deep dive into the Class 08 shunter 👍🚂

Hi Bernie. Thanks for your kind comment and subscription. I hope you enjoy what's coming up - an insight into my Class 08 shunter next (my pride and joy 😊). All good wishes back to you from the UK 👍🚂

Thanks for dropping by and for your kind comment. I've had a look at your railway and it looks great - I particularly liked the chocolate wagons special 🍫👍🚂

@@PringletonModelRailway greetings over there, thanks, much appreciated, you are always welcome, kind regards Elizabeth⭐🚂🤗🌟

Hello Duncan. Thank you so much for your kind comment. With the benefit of hindsight, I do wish I'd captured more videos and photos in the early days of construction. I suppose I was just enjoying myself too much! Better late than never though ... there is much construction still to come, including an industrial area and passenger train yard, plus a football stadium. Then we have work on lighting to look forward to as well. I am preparing some construction videos as well - looks out for something on how I put Mount Pringleton together in episode 4 and how I made use of dozens of lateral flow tests in episode 5! Before then, tomorrow evening (Monday 15th April) gets a good look at our Class 59. Thank you again 👍🚂

Hi James. Thanks for the kind comment. I'm glad you and your grandson liked this first video. I've had a look at (and subscribed to) Dylington Model Railway just now. It looks like a GREAT layout - your grandson has made excellent use of the space available and created some tremendous scenic work. Well done to him. The first video I looked at was the one with the Intercity 225 (aka the class 91), which I really enjoyed. Pringleton has one of those too, and I'll be making a video on it soon. Thanks again ... now back to Dylington for me 😊👍🚂

@PringletonModelRailway thank you so much for taking the time to watch, comment, and subscribe to his channel it really is appreciated. I hope you enjoy his videos. Most of them have the comments turned off for his protection due to his age (12). However, you can comment on the Christmas video and The Accident. Or you can comment on here if you wish. Just mention the name of the video you're commenting on. Have you seen the Rock Concert and the stop-motion animation he's done. Thank you again, and we're looking forward to seeing your future videos. Thank you again...cheers James 🙂👍

Hi again James. Yes, I've just watched "Dylington Rocks" which is very impressive. The setting for the rock concert in the castle reminds me very much of Rochester Castle down here in Kent - really good. Plus, I was delighted to see the Class 37 with MK2 carriages in action - incredibly, this looks very much like the first model train I had when I was about five or six (some 45 years ago!) 👍🚂

@PringletonModelRailway pleased you enjoyed Dylington Rocks. We had great fun creating the scene. It must be 35 years since I was down that neck of the woods and visited Rochester Castle. I don't know how old the Class 37 is as it was given to my grandson along with the coaches by someone who'd had it stored away. I look forward to seeing yours in action... Cheers James 🙂👍

Thank you 😊

Hi Alistair. It is actually roofing felt which I purchased from Wickes for £20. This got me a mahoosive roll of the stuff which has done everything I need with loads to spare (I might even have enough to fix a roof!) Much much cheaper than the proper ballast underlay rolls and, whilst not quite as authentic as applying loose ballast after track laying, much much quicker and easier 👍🚂

Wow! Now what a great idea - and VERY imaginative! 👍☺️

Hi there! Thanks for watching and for your comment. It is indeed roofing felt for the ballast underlay. Not totally authentic of course, but pretty darn good. At the time it was only £20 from Wickes for a giant roll, so super cost effective as well 👍🚂

@@PringletonModelRailway Excellent that's what I'll be using being a beginner thank you for answering cheers 🥂

Hi Ken - thank you for your kind comment. The platforms are around 140cm long excepting the end ramp, other than the one by the road with the main station building - this is a little shorter because I had to cut in ramps to stop long locos and carriages fouling the platform. The 140cm allows me to comfortably handle locos with three carriages, which is nice 🚂👍
