This seems to work mainly because he’s using premium Peco turnouts which all have a positive-engagement spring-loaded mechanism to hold the points in either position. I have the cheap old Atlas turnouts without that, so I’m trying to improvise some spring pressure somehow

Whatever sound chip is in that class 20 is not right. Sounds like a Sulzer engine.

Hello good evening, exciting little layout, plenty of scope for shunting!,I wanted to ask which retailer you bought the backscene from? It really gives the impression of realism.can you reply It would be greatly appreciated many thanks IAN RANKIN 👍.

Really enjoyed watching your videos and I’ve just built a couple of boards 8x1 to give me the opportunity to run on a 16’ layout just like you do

Mike! May I ask what size are your baseboards please? Thank you

Absolutely brilliant really enjoy your work Mike, thank you for taking the time to post

These shelf layouts are absolutely brilliant and are great fun to watch & operate

Great shelf railway .Thumbs up to you .Hope you like mine diesel dave's

Brilliant little layout, with loads of detail but not overly so. This is what i aspire to, people like yourself who have created an enjoyable shunting layout without huge outlay. Thanks for sharing, and subbed.

The old signal box is great.😃

Lots going on in a small space. Glad I found this!😃

I recognise the stoke on trent parts! fantastic modelling sir.the old folks home on the backscene in abbey hulton

Great layout. I like the foliage on the tracks. Subbed!

Beautiful work 👍

Very simple and effective

Very nice video Mike with lots of different angles.

Exceptional-looking fellow in the front window behind the rat!

Superb, passed a boring lunch break watching the shunting Cheers Paul

Lovely bit of shunting operation! Love the loading facility! Nice job!

A beautiful layout

Hi Mike You've put together a really nice looking layout. Looking forward to seeing some trains running. Cheers

It's nice to see a model railway where the trains don't charge around at 300 MPH. The transparent uncoupling ramp was used on Triang TT almost 60 years ago. Adjustment was very critical to avoid lifting the stock off the track. I do dislike the 'hand of god' technique.

Lovely layout, please feel free to follow me

Superb layout, I am trying to build something similar.

I'm a BR blue sort of chap but I like the subtle changes you've done, very good, nice to have you back 👍

Looking awesome Mike, nice little swap over.. take care mate. All the best Garry

The hand held ones are no good for uncoupling on a siding flanked by other sidings occupied by vehicles.

Hi Mike Cracking video showing your superb layout, really nice. Cheers Paul
