Worst customer service. Dreadful attitude to sorting faulty goods. Wouldn’t buy so much as a track rubber from them.

Looks like a great plan. I like the dual track mainline. Part of Dib's Yard track plan is based around an old double track that was converted to single as traffic decreased. Hence why the engine shed is so basic as it was thrown up over one of the disused lines.

Triple point AND a double slip on the main line. How does the song go; "there may be trouble ahead". By all means try it, but have a box of kleenex ready for the tears.

lol I’m definitely up for the challenge. Might even consider trying point rodding but first attempt will be using either Peco pm1 or servo points from scalemodelscenery.😊

Pity you didn't do a close up on the prices and cases. I reckon they are an expensive shop. Currently on E-Bay they have an old Triang and Hornby coach (the LNER one with no interior), worth around £10 max! For £29.50 plus P&P!!!

@HillcrestHaltАй бұрын
Yes it’s my personal layout. I did forget to link an earlier video that shows most of the Metcalfe buildings I’ll be using. The layout is 8ft x 6ft so won’t fit in our flat lol. It’s Caldecote Village Hall where our model railway club meets every Wednesday. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJOYaNSJ1Zu4dWw.htmlsi=uo8EiZ1wsQI7addq

Thankyou Dawn I really appreciate you watching my videos. I’ll be heading up to Crewe on the 23rd June as there is a new model railway exhibition called Model Rail Crewe. There is also a KZfaqrs meet up there at 11am in the bar area. I’ve only just started my KZfaq channel last year but already at 308 subscribers. I’m hoping my channel does well as I love doing tours round Model Railway shops and exhibitions. My favourite visit recently was the National Railway Museum in York. That video was also my first attempt composing my own music using GarageBand. Once again thanks for watching my videos. I have a new series starting soon with my 00 gauge layout ( baseboards update is already on my community tab) Regards Richard
