I also have an Inglenook layout. Microtrains (US) makes an axle drag spring. This goes on one of your axle points. Gives just enough drag to help. I put one on each car on the layout. Nice layout, and nice realization of what is really required to operate a session on it.

sorely tempted to get a router after watching this you _could_ get almost as good a result using something with a 90° inside angle to guide the router - cut each corner separately and the corners will be radiused by the router bit. not as nice as the tic-tac shaped cutout though

I got a bit irritated with two-axle wagons Inglenooking in N gauge - the tolerances are loose enough the whole wagon can rotate while staying on the rails and put the couplings out of alignment! I'm receiving a pile of 2mm finescale track components and some DG couplings soonish. Will have N-gauge and 2mm finescale Inglenooks side by side on the same board and am hoping to see what difference it makes. Thinking I won't attempt uncoupling magnets though - happy enough with "Hand of God" shunting pole to lift loops and act as an impromptu handbrake for loose wagons!

Good to have another video from you man. I love these Peco kits. They’re so satisfying to build and paint. I think they’re great value although a fiver? Wow good work. I’m like you and paint things separately for the most part. I tend to use a light grey primer spray can to kick things off, just to save me having to put too many top coats on! Enjoyed the video and watching your process
@hedgehoghobbies283627 күн бұрын
Thanks Johnny that's very kind. It is nice to hear you enjoyed watching. I think next time I would consider a spray primer, as it took an insane number of coats to cover the parts properly with a brush, although part of the appeal of this little build was being able to sit down at my desk and build something from start to finish. Sometimes it is nice to keep things super simple...

@hedgehoghobbies28365 ай бұрын
Yea N Gauge is a little fiddly. I haven't made any brakes, although it is something I thought about. My worry was that when pushing a long train the brakes may cause derailments. The layout is about 800mm long, so a fair bit smaller than yours I think.

Great video. One question, do you need to let the enamel paints dry in before using the weathering powder or does it need to be wet for them to stick to the wagon?
@hedgehoghobbies28365 ай бұрын
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. I have found the paint can be dry and the powder will still stick (to a certain extent). You can apply it when the paint is wet but you'll get a different effect (more 'clumpy', less powdery / dusty). However the powder does rub off after a while... not the end of the world as it rubs off of the raised detail which adds to the effect if anything!

First off, from a production standpoint, this is very well done. Great voiceovers, mixed in with the "shop" sounds. And the music is not annoying or overwhelming. Probably some of the best "non-professional" work I have seen in some time. Big props. As to the build? I LOVE it! The detailing and care you put in are really paying off. Best of all, you did it without using fancy (read expensive) shop tools. This is a great example of model railroading for "the rest of us", proving that you do not need fancy tools to get good results. The layout itself is really good. I have been inspired to build one now. I might expand it a little though. Maybe having the connection track become a through type mainline. It would require a little larger base, but I think it can still be reasonable to build in a small area. Again, I have only watched this video in the series, but I drew a ton of inspiration from it. I will definitely be watching the rest of the series. PS, In case you are curious, I also model in N Scale. Have built numerous layouts over time. My current project is a little 2x3 foot (US) layout that I call the Hammer Valley. Got a few videos in a playlist. I am also dabbling a little in T-Trak modules. Sorry for the novel length comment. Being a writer, I guess I tend to get a bit wordy sometimes, LOL.

Hi there, thank you for your nice comment. My favourite thing is hearing that people build layouts after seeing my videos! Your 2x4 layout looks cool - like a mini inglenook with a loop. I actually planned out something similar before settling on my end to end layout. I guess I have done the best with the tools I have available. I think that (for the most part) it is possible to achieve good results with basic equipment, it just takes a lot longer. Setting up each straight cut with my circular saw + guide rail takes 10 mins or so! No worries on the long comment... I have dabbled with a little writing in my time too so I know the feeling!
