Great video. I am interested in the provenance of the locos and rolling stock. I am currently building a model of 4415 and just wondered who produced the one in rhe video.
@FortheLoveofSteam16 күн бұрын
Thank you. The 2 Kerr, Stuart diesels were both constructed from the same Mosskito whitemetal kit. Robert (in green) uses a replacement plasticard footplate to fit a Bachmann Plymouth chassis. The kit includes a number of alternate pieces to build a later Sudan version of the loco, so I used these parts with a number of plasticard scratch built pieces to construct Henry (in blue) on a Kato 109

@FortheLoveofSteam 1:25 A CABOOSE! With a CUPOLA! THAT'S not a brakevan! I looked up "brake vans with cupolas" to see if there were any I hadn't heard of. Didn't find anything. I also tried to read the words on the side as it went by. No luck. By the way, when you wind up these engines, do they have a brake that keeps them from moving when wound? How long do they run for before you need to rewind them? How hard is it to synchronize two engines?
@Charmaster04Ай бұрын
I posted this comment before seeing the pandemonium at 5:31, by the way. Looks pretty difficult.
@FortheLoveofSteamАй бұрын
Ah yes, well spotted! It is indeed a Hornby US style caboose which doesn't come out to play all that often. There is a push lever in the cab which acts as a brake to give a little control. I'd guess there's maybe 30-40 seconds from each wind, but they're all slightly different and can go quite a distance in that time!

My grandson has just about got all of the track down on his 009 layout. Hopefully, he'll be uploading a part 3 update on his Dylington Model Railway channel soon. On another point, I'm going to be building a 009 layout myself in the near future. I don't know whether he'll be filming that. He's just posted a stop-motion video called The Postman filmed on our layout Dylington... Cheers James 🙂👍

That looks like a nice loco to me. We wouldn't have a problem with the compromises. We've enjoyed watching your review. My grandson (12) has recently acquired small england loco Princess, and he's about to start building his own 009 layout. He's intending to film his progress for his Dylington Model Railway channel as an occasional series. I expected it will be slow progress due to school and will only be worked on at weekends and school holidays when he stays with us. He's been doing some filming for it, but I guess the first video may cover the houses he's been building, as he's not put down any track yet. Keep a look out for the first episode, possibly this weekend... Cheers James 🙂👍

The only time you really saw the difference between Small and Large England's was back in the early days of the Ffestiniog railway. The first four locomotives Princess, Prince, Mountaineer and Palmerston were smaller with square water tanks and no cabs. They later had iron weights put on the top of the tanks and boiler to improve traction. Then later Welsh Pony and Little Giant arrived and with the exception of a cab, looked like they do today. They were a big step up from the Small's and over time the small England's were rebuilt with the round top tanks and cabs and looked just like the large England's. Till the Double Fairley "Little Wonder" arrived they were the mainstay of the line. Still impressive that 4/6 survived and they are making a replica Mountaineer to look as originally built.
@FortheLoveofSteam2 ай бұрын
Great comment, I deliberately didn't go too much into the history as the video was already too long; but as you say the differences between the rebuilt small locos and large ones are not immediately obvious, particularly at 1/76 scale!

Aha, yes a valid point I'd already considered watching it back. It actually looks worse on camera as it has no sharp edges, and would require considerable force to do any damage.

All that stock was kit build before the RTR started coming out - what a job - and the scenics are spot on. Those houses are very good. Every time you see this layout you spot something new. One thing at 05:00 - :30 I don't know if my eyes are going funny, but looking at the motion, do you think the Tasmanian K1 has a different wheel size on each bogie ? The other Garratts seem to be the same . . . .

Each power bogie on the Garratts has a separate motor, and unfortunately despite having identical wheel sets and gearing they can end up running at slightly different speeds.
