Watching again for the 100th time 😂... The details you add are so good mate. I need to whip out the static grass fly swotter and stop putting it off. First I'll need to get the ballast done...just needed a kick up the backside 😂 👍 Scratch building looks really rewarding, i think ill have to scratch build the main station as cant find anything that will fit that doesnt look a bit naff 😮

Great layout and the sound effects are awesome.

Beautiful layout..so realistic the loco sounds are great.

The layout scenes are wonderful, the locomotives plus consist are perfect, and the addition of sound from real steam locos just completes the experience so thanks. Great video, Jersey Bill

looking awsome mate

Very nice done video :)

Great layout. Done so well.

Another question. You have reduced the loco to tender gap. Wondering which method you have used for that. A method has been described on a well known railway social media site on how to do that. Reduced from 5.5 to 3mm without any wiring changes.

Beautiful layout may I ask where you got the point rodding ?

Wonderful.

A real winner Lewis with the black 5 working hard on what looks like a parcels turn .Like the side on shots & every thing else in this video , a real winner .😊

Great video. I love your layout.

Thanks again.

Good work on doing this. So pretty please do Pines Express train shots with 75062 wearing The Cambrian Coast Express headboard on its head and two headlamps on both lamp irons on the right and the left on its bufferbeam, and piloting 92211 on the Pines Express with eleven Express coaches being a maroon coach, a crimson and cream colored coach, five maroon coaches, six green coaches, and a crimson and cream colored coach, 75053 wearing The Cambrian Coast Express headboard on the middle lamp iron of its buffer beam next to the white headlamp on the right side of its bufferbeam and a white headlamp on its head and piloting 92167 on the Pines Express with twelve Express coaches being a maroon coach, five crimson and cream colored coaches, and six green coaches, 73030 wearing two white discs on the right and left lamp irons of its bufferbeam piloting 92 Squadron on the Pines Express with ten Express coaches with a maroon coach, four crimson and cream colored coaches, and five green coaches, and 76114 wearing two headlamps on its bufferbeam with one in the middle and one on the left and piloting 73109 on the Pines Express with thirteen Express coaches with a red coach, six green coaches, and six crimson and cream colored coaches to recreate the scenes of Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway shots of the Heyday of British Steam Volume 1, Archive British Steam Volume 2: Bygone Days Captured Forever, and British Railways Steam, Mouldy Raspberry.

Beautiful loco ' and great weathering '

Very nice weathering on the loco - enjoyed that 👍

Is it just me, or were you a bit less generous to the model with the weathering😊. Was great to see it travel the Ponden/Buckdale route, well justified. Lovely gem of a video again

Excellent as usual Lewis, nice to see both layouts

An Absolute Freight Fest 👌🏻- Quality Vid as Usual MR 👍🏻

Much excellent realism there - thank you for sharing! 👍

Another day on the Yorkshire Dales. That may be the longest train I have seen you run, Lewis. Very nice. looks like you have a few deceased sheep here and there.

Lewis, your videos just keep getting better and better. Cheers Greg

Your skills of layout building, weathering, detailing and video making are awesome.

Brilliant. Superb sound track. Great variety of vans too (especially the Western ones 🤣). 👍👍👍👍👍

Looks good

wonderful

Looks amazing like always!

Fantastic Lewis, every time I watch one of your videos I notice something different, you are a superb craftsman

Wonderful atmosphere. Who needs to go to the NYMR when this video is available. I see the original Hornby lamps have been removed. I assume something such as Modelu lamps have replaced them?

Nice video!

Fantastic .Love the sound .

Bonjour Lewis, Nice to see the Black 5 running well and you did a great job in reducing the tender to loco gap. Looks so much more realistic. Excellent weathering and the filming & editing on both of your fine layouts is amazing as usual ! Thanks for sharing and greetings, Filip

Hi Lewis, well that looks a lovely loco..............they really do look stunning. Clearly I am guessing not a dub at all. Thanks and all the best Dave.

This Black 5 looks better than the LMS version. Your choice of changes to the lamps was a good one.

I love the weathering on the vans,and a nice prototypical mixture,I commend you sir,I won’t even get started on the locos and your layout,superb at the very least

Another super video Lewis.well done .

I'm sure that grass is actually growing in your semi-abandoned sidings. Loving the use of the 'old' layout.

Nice to see that you’re back on the old layout Lewis What I loved about your channel was you gave us a little bit of “Everything” and I for one loved watching the creative side of you when you built a new “Scene” and how you effortlessly transformed a piece of flat board into a beautiful country scene I understand what with the layout being in the loft there’s limited time to work due to the weather conditions

Lewis, will we ever see you make an exhibition layout?

And all is well in the world once more…. 😊

Another great video. Thanks.

When an engine is given a test run, the first test is light engine, with no load at all. The second test is with a light load, say two coaches or four wagons and a Guard's Van, if all has gone well with the first. The third test is a fully loaded passenger train, consisting of as many as six coaches. This happens over the period of a week or two, if the test takes place on the main line. For a branchline, or heritage railway, the tests are carried out over the period of a few days. It's good you've got the Jack of all Trades running nicely, but never put lead in the boiler. This can make the model dangerous for children to handle. Take the lead out and put back the proper mechanics. Better to be safe than sorry.

Yep she looks really good now Mr Mouldy. Black 5's are everyone's favourite I think. Cheers. 😅

Wonderful camera work showing off your layout Lewis 👍

Appears to be running very nicely. Great video too. Cheers

Great video 👍

Soo nice to be back home on YDR the best place to show trains ❤

Awesome video and loco Lewis!!! Thanks for sharing. Cheers Onno.

So realistic I’m expecting the coal load to go down

Lewis , fun to see Glasgow Highlander being put through it's paces.
