Have you stopped putting out videos.?

Can you please give it to me for £0?

Great video, are these hornby HSTs prone to overheating and stopping or is it because ive fitted a cheap decoder? Many thanks 😊

Fabulous review on the latest hornby mk3s, i have the older mk3s which i purchased around 2009 for about £20 each from hattons. Those later versions look Fabulous with all the extra details .. your layout seems similar to mine on a laminate floor with the same hornby platforms & converted points with those magic dcc clips. Many thanks 👍

Any idea how to coupple 2 of these together?

Bachmann: There's no market for saltire livery scotrail trains Internet: Any saltire livery train under £300 is a bergen

Can you do a trainspotting video

I'd like to see the. Scotrail class 385 in oo gauge.

1:00 not British Rail is Scotrail a different company

Can I ask where you get all these trains?

You need to speak English - I'm in Chicago - I can't understand you.

Think you'll try and do electric stock at some point? There's a class 380 kit you can build i think

I think alot of the modern traction we have on the network are simple in design so to see that be replicated into form just adds realism to the model. The modern trains we have nowadays are no near as interesting IMO as the older trains like the 1st gen DMUs even up till late 90s early 00s are more interesting then what is currently on offer.

Couple of option's for you. You could make a hinged section that can lift up onto a hasp then lower back in place once you enter the loft. 2nd if you paint your pipes sky blue then make them grey at the bottom this could be made to look like old gas holders or modern fuel storage tanks. hope this is helpful. Stay safe

Two of my favourite locos in the Saltire livery :D

Nice layout 👍💯👍 just found your channel buddy 👍

Nice nineties :-) got one or two myself :-)

Really!???

Nice update. Got the 800 myself not the celebrate Scotland one. And more than pleased with it myself. Had a good look over it didn’t have any problems. Tho I’ve seen a few people have had. I’d use them coaches to make sure they don’t clip anything on the layout had to move a few things as they do overhang a lot more than the mk3 coaches.

Skoda class 90.

Great video! Loved all the over trains as well! It’s a cool test track and a cool train

Just subbed to your channel after seeing you had done likewise 😊 looking forward to your progress and the viaduct looks amazing 👍 cheers Darrell

That viaduct is superb!! I love how many tracks you have on that one section. Superb! So many options, look forward seeing how this turns out, will sub in and notify for more!! Good luck. Cheers!

Every now and again a model comes along that really is something special and the KUA really is. It’s niche but worth getting because it’s such a superb piece of model engineering. They are so heavy too. Cracking model and I’ve been delighted with mine.

Just found your channel. That is a fantastic viaduct. My layout is small in comparison and I wish my wife would have afforded me more room. It is based loosely on Partick with trains that would ve found st Queen St and Central Stations. It us DC and I have a large variety of APT’s, HST’s , Black5’s etc, ect. I live looking at everyone’s layout trying to find ideas to improve my layout. I also have a ten car Coronation Scot which I love running sround but ut is wasted on this small layout. Go as large as you can handle and if course it is a lifelong hobby. I came to the hobby later in life and now live in Toronto. I also need to think about selling off duplicates, long trains and one of those APT’s I will keep an eye out for your developments. Cheers

Building your layout around a station is a great idea, you’ll always be able to have lots of trains running, be really intetested to see ot develop. Although on a much smaller space, I planned out my layout in miniature using Hornby mini track kits and bits of cardboard and boxes. Really made a difference in visualising the whole layout before starting to build. Nice collection of Scotrail stock. Keep up the good work and all the best, Colin

Would be cool if the line where the scotrail hst is was the siding similar to Carlisle. Very impressive fleet and excited to see how the layout turns out in the end

Impressive loco fleet, the Scotrail Satire livery looks stunning

If you added a helix in you could then use the lower area for a: storage b: added run time to give greater time for movements on the other platforms before the longer trains return. I do like full length trains running. look forward to see what you decide. Stay safe

A good idea as there is always something going on in a big through station. I have done something along those lines to represent continental Europe based on stock collected over 30 years from Norway down to Italy and all countries inbetween inbetween. I do not have a youtube channel but could send pics over if you are interested on a PM. It would give you an idea what is possible.

Cracking pic with the old upper line heading into town 👍🏻

I agree if you want a big station then you should build it.... I like the idea of changing the locomotive from one end to the other -- Problems I can see is that your station may not long enough. Express trains over 6-8 cars will have to use outside line and longest platform to pass station. Join the two outer lines away from the station giving the appearance of more frequent express services passing and stopping at the station -- perhaps only part of the train stopping for passengers on the longest platform. You have a long way to go and making a 1:1 layout plan maybe the next step. .. If you have one or two lines on the second level that will give further away time for the express and some impression of distance for local services -- stop and go in storage with just enough clearance for the train -- Grading for the trains will be an issue for both express and local trains.... ( minimal drop for the storage loops) Best of luck.

Wait so the 153s are coming even up here (far north line) 🤯

Hi, if you want a large station you must do it, youll only regret it if you dont. I always wanted a large main line terminus station, like London Kings Cross, but space was an issue. However Im currently building a representation of Manchester Piccadilly in N gauge and am so glad I did it, never turned back. So Ive got my terminus and through trains too. The only thing I would advise is keep your curves as long and shallow as possible. Trains dont like sharp tight curves and especially tight ‘S’ bends, also try to use the longest points, you wont regret it. Hoping that helps

Ok, late to the party, but I look forward to catching up on a year's worth of videos. I'm a fellow Scot, modeling the same era as yourself but on the West coast/Glasgow area. I'm just getting started so thus series should be invaluable over the next year for me :D

Nice video 👍👍👍👍😎😃.I've subscribers to your KZfaq channel 👍 😃

Thinking about your station building, have a look at Whitley Bay station, on the Tyne and Wear Metro, as that has a clock tower.

The class 390 I have struggles with the 9 cars I have on it. Seems to be ok with 7 coaches. Got the class 800 on order. Think a follow you on Twitter n Facebook.

Yes I've waited so long I can't wait

Adding some form of insulation to your loft is a must for Scottish winters (and summers!). This is an exciting stage putting the plan together and I’m sure you will come up with a good one. The 158s look stunning. Rainbow Railways have done a really excellent job. Will follow your progress with interest. Hugh

Not a bad looking model, I think the weathering improves it.

Great video buddy just seen it.I've subbed.👍

are you using a hornby remote

Verry nice

Where do you get all of your models?

modle i like class 170 it my fav train in hole tire world

Are these also classed as MK2F's

I like these BR diesel MU cars. Very smart-looking liveries!

Haha least you have just pipes! I have a massive loft which can't be used A) because there's a massive tank in the middle of the floor and B) the room and trusses aren't stable anough apparently.. So yeh. I would of loved my loft as a layout but it ain't happening unless I'm paying 15k for the roof to be changed😬😬
