I'm having to move my model railway into the loft due to circumstance's, watched your vids for a while, this one seemed the best one to post this comment on. Have you had any troubles with having it in the loft, track warp due to extreme heat in the summer ect? Its the main thing worrying me, but the loft is my only option if i wish to carry on with the hobby..... Which of course i do!!

I have a 14xx and I think it’s missing something because there’s no spring but the wheels are slipping like hell

Great Work, Well done. I have 2 rather early Hornby Loco's & a Lima Loco. Which could all be improved greatly by Removing Molded Detail, like you have just Done. I was Amazed with the New & Improved look, with just a Few Hours Detailling Thrown at them. Thanks for the Inspiration. Cheers All from Oz. Aka. Downunder land. 🦘🐪🦘🦜🦘🦎🦘

I always enjoy your videos🚂🚂🚂

👌👌👌👏👏🤓

I'm enjoying watching this one again, I watched when it was released but your videos have a lovely relaxed style to them so I tend to rewatch them often. Definitely a nice local show to visit next year, I'm finding that I enjoy the smaller shows more these days, especially shows at heritage railways - that's a trend I'm very happy to support. Hope you and yours are well, all the best and thanks for sharing your hobby.

Pls say someding when u point at the map

I’m thinking about getting one of these simplex kits. Would be cool to see you build one to.

It's great to see you've made another video. Im also using your layout as a basis to a layout. Its been a long time. I am changing to 00 as i previously did N gauge, and that's been sat in the loft space for over 23 years.😊

Will you be coming to Didcot’s modelling weekend on 22/23 June?

Nicely done,,perfect job,,thanks for sharing..

Buildings look great,like the pictures of the interior is great idea,,thanks for sharing..😊

Great video fantastic value loco you bought and with your detailing you made it look so good and easy to do. the prototype video was really good with its variety of freight stock it was pulling round. i loved the powdered weathering you did too it gives it a very subtle blend of shades. by the way my favourite piece of rolling stock whether in model form or prototype is that larger or longer brake van that we saw in the video. Thank you for showing us your outstanding modelling advice and help with improving our own model railway stock collecting and servicing etc etc. It revitalised my own interest railway modelling that comes and goes but never ever fully leaves my fascination and interest. thank you so much.

How about a 0-8-0 pannier?

I nice video showing the museum! I have yet to visit it since i live quite far away from our capital. Also that big nice diesel you were talking about was PKP class ST44 ,,Gagarin". Its esentialy a soviet M-62 locomotive with polish ,,bucket" headlights and safety systems. We imported over 1000 of them. Those locos were famous from their huge power and torque so big that they were laso known as ,,railgrinders". Althought they are old and not very fuel efficent it is still hard to find a locomotive so cheap and numerous yet so powerfull to pull freight across the country and thats why many many of them are still in service. One you saw is the number 001 and it was the first example of this locomotive in Poland and one that was tested by PKP and accepted into service. Quite recently they restored it althought its not in running condition from what i know.

Cool, easy going video. ☆☆☆☆☆

I live 5 minutes away in Kingsthorpe and had no idea it was on or I would have attended, if there is another then more advertising from them would be welcome, I worked on the line in the 80,s and 90,s and organisation was not always perfect, we we're working on the Boughton extension then! I often view your videos and would have liked to have met you. Still I look forward to that in the future.

I've been looking on and off for some time for class 72xx steps to replace one I stupidly damaged. Thanks to you I now know where to get them. Great video, most informative. 😁👍

Was great to meet you Tris! Elsie enjoyed it too 😎 Emily

Great video and great little builds. Just a quick ine, what are they made out of? Looks like MDF or maybe hardboard? My layout is in a shed so wondering if they will cope with a little damp air in the winter.

Hi Tris, have just started watching this series and intend to create a similar layout in my shed. One question, what thickness of plyboard did you use? Cheers

Went today , Sunday , really enjoyed the time we spent there. Nice little friendly event.

Visited today, very enjoyable, I tried not to let my 4yo get in the way of any of your filming, but seems I failed! Apologies!

The Buggleskelly Station stand will be there tomorroow :) Thanks for the video

Great video! I visited today and had a really good time. The brake van ride was outstanding because I got right up close to the engine and could see all the coupling movements as well.

Going to visit tomorrow 😀

I like the "jig saw" idea of the first railway . great way of changing the look or period of the display .

Thanks for sharing Tris! Loved the doggie footage!

Hi Tris, great video! So for the HM7000 did you just hook up the motor wires to power the decoder and leave the speaker connected via its original wires or do you need to add a connection with some of the other wires on the decoder? Thanks!

It’s looking great.👍👍👍👍👍

But how much do they cost

They are really pretty. I have watched few videos of the series (wrong order thougt). I really like this project.

i would recommend the old dapol ones of these, i have one from around 1995 and it runs better than most models now plus it will crawl for days

I purchased a couple of 3v / 12v power distribution boards from a certain Chinese website - 24 output ports on each unit and selectable for either 12 or 3v for the unit, power supply taken from my DCC controller. for the 6v LEDs I used a 6v power supply from the same supplier connected to a chocolate block for connecting the LEDs. Made using the low voltage LEDs very easy.

I do love the idea of the interiors being pictures you see through the windows. It lookscreally effective. I know Scalescenes do full interiors, wallpaper, carpets etc that you just print out. Cant wait to see it working and the lighting really does add that extra something.

Fully in favour of lighting; really add realism. The different products were interesting and useful as well. Thanks for sharing

Nice to see an update the lights will look great

loving the new cutting-edge buildings !

Hi , great looking layout , I'm in the process of building a shunting goods yard layout ,what make are the low relief buildings ? They look very good. Dave

Great paint job

The flickering fire looks good, but it needs a chimney..😊

I’ve been getting “ shunting layout withdrawal symptoms” so delighted you are back on the project! This is my blueprint for my first layout, and the short vids are perfect to follow and give confidence to those of us new to the hobby. Great video Tris!

Brilliant, well filmed 👍🚂

Nice to see the layout coming along again.

Looking good. Definitely helps to bring the layout to life adding the lights

Nice work Tris! That little engine shed looks particularly good I have to say. Joachim

Nice walk through on the thoughts and installation of lighting. Looks good. I have found that painting bright white LED’s with clear orange works well for me to give an incandescent look.

Nice video Tris, worth the wait. Nice to see a video on lighting which has many different variations. Often the odd channel will install a yard lamp or fuelling point light, but nice to see the different varieties of lighting available to help with making a personal choice. I like the interiors you did, they look nice.
