Cheers very much, and I normally don't have the space for them on my layouts either heh, though I do make them in odd shapes and sizes for most kit buildings! And do hope you have a Happy New Years too! Health is getting there, just need to get back into the rythum of making videos, luckily did make a backlog to give me some time to get better!

Cheers very much Pete, and hope you have a Happy New Year too!

First of all, hope you had a lovely New Years and that's all fine, watch when you're able to! Glad that you like both the build and the folding layout, and yes my condition has been rather troublesome as of late, only just gotten over the hectic time it's caused with hospital during December but hopefully things should be getting better from now on!

@@GosportRailworks It was okay I guess, no wild parties but just chilling here. Never touch alcohol so that helps too I guess. Going in and out of hospital can be tiresome sometimes but let's hope it was worth it. Looking forward to some more great videos.

No worries Richard, though glad that you caught up with the videos, and I mostly wanted to try out a folding layout to see how well it'll go! And glad you're liking how I sorted the backscene, and for the inner ones, I've decided to leave as is for now, though will have a look at painting them as well, though need to work on getting the right blue to match!

Happy Holidays to you too Frank! Hope you have a good one!

Hope you have a great Xmas too Pete, and it did go well, though still getting use to the pacemaker, though it seems a little too sensitive at the moment, but am getting there!

Cheers very much, hope that you have a lovely Xmas!

Hope you have a nice Christmas too!

Hope you have a lovely Christmas as well Richard, and doing my best to recover, have got sick leave for a few weeks so not a rush to get back heh And hope that she got you some nice gifts this year!

Hope that you have a lovely Christmas as well!

Glad that you enjoy the farmland, do enjoy making some nice fields for the countryside areas on my layouts! And good luck with the skyboards, hope they turn out alright.

Cheers very much Pete, and do hope that you have a good Christmas as well! And hoping to have a prosperous New Year heh, might finally get round to painting something, started on a pair of 2-BILs and getting some Bulleid coaches printed off soon. And as always, do look forward to seeing how you get on with hte Arthur!

Glad you like it!

Cheers very much, hope that you'll enjoy the next update!

Thank you very much, and it does have screw holes though I don't know how well they'll work as I didn't notice them at the time and might've glued it in, I'll have to check later as I do intend to make my own version of the locomotive!

@@GosportRailworks huh . Well good luck on it Tho I thought of a model to try make . The class 13 … I think it is anyways The 2 class 08 engines couples cab to front . Then the front cab is removed and the motor is too . Then there coupled together Try it with 2 class 08 models and one of them with the cab removed and it’s motor removed too making it free wheel . Then couple them together and connect the pickups with wire . Then we got it perfectly Just get it so the livery’s are the same . Then we got some good customs .

Hello there! I don't exactly recall where I found them, however I can send you the drawing in question if you'd like?

@GosportRailworks please! I would appreciate that alot.

imgur.com/dO0nCWc Hopefully this link works, though will be removing it bit later today, but let me know if there's any issues!

@GosportRailworks thank you so much!

Thank you very much, and quite happy with the roof ridge caps, might need to tidy them up bit more however!

I'm doing mostly alright, getting there heh And they have indded, very impressed with these wagons, also glad you enjoyed the review!

@@GosportRailworks am oo person but love seeing oo down in n

Always great to see what details they can keep intact when they scale down from OO

Hello Philip! Yep that's all fine with me, anyone can use my layout designs really so feel free! And knew I forgot something heh, oh well, just do remember to add in a road when you add in the station!

@GosportRailworks hi well we all forget about things to do with our modelling sometimes

@@GosportRailworks hi Philip here yes we all forget about things sometimes in our modelling

I think someone mentioned that to me some time ago, at the time I put the model together I don't think I realised the mistake but have renumbered it to 32107 now if I recall!

Cheers very much Andrew, I'm slowly getting there, have finally been seen by the hospital so getting something to hopefully sort it out! And that's all fine, glad to have you keeping up with things one way or another, hope you take care and have a nice relaxing Christmas as well!

Hmm, wondering if the back to back between the wheels might be the issue, I'll see about testing that with mine when working out how to sort it out. But it is a nice engine, though do wish that Farish released a new version sometime soon!

Cheers very much, and will make a nice item to add to hte collection, though have recently cleared out some bits from that, but once I fix the issues with the 4MT I'll see about getting it running bit more often!

Cheers very much Pete, and generally I'll keep clear of Tender driven engines, though with the limited range of Southern engines till recently, I do have the odd few outside of UM, but hopefully I'll be able to get it running! First thing is remove the broken valvegear then see how well it runs without it then go from there!

Hm, didn't use to jam, possible might've been me but unfortunately have had it for a while and was from eBay, plus might just be easier to replace the valuegear. Will do what I can to fix it, but is something I'd rather have a go at myself!

Ta very much, and yeah the running is an issue, another comment mentioned to look at the valuegear (which I missed) so will be replacing that! Will also have a look at the loco while replacing the valuegear, but will do things in steps when I can, but tis a shame that I didn't notice the issues earlier and it's not running at it's best!

Thank you very much!

Glad that you enjoyed it Terry!

Glad you enjoyed it, though do need to get some bigger express engines to run round for next time!

Glad that you enjoyed it Pete, and printing your King Arthur now! Should be ready hopefully tomorrow to send out.

Ta very much, and just had to go measure it, it's 16x12in

Not quite a review, but thank you very much! And I don't release my files publicly as I sell them (you can order one via my website), and I have already made a E1 tank, though designed for the Farish Jinty/64xx chassis as they were better fit for it.

You're welcome! And the new Farish 4Fs are very nice models, always enjoy how well they run!

Ta very much, Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you enjoyed it Pete!

No worries, glad I could help!

Ta very much Richard, and no worries heh, but I do agree it is nice to see some more variety in what's offered as a RTR item, hopefully they'll be inticed to bring out more!

Personally I've not had any issues with the valvegear not whistle on Percy, main issue I've had is just his short wheelbase on insulfrog points, though could also be the points needing more of a clean! The Cylinders are quite robust and the valvegear isn't too hard to put back in, it's quite a simple mechanism, I have found that like Thomas he does pull whatever loud is behind him well, but yeah I do think he'd do better with running on either electrofrog or unifrog points (for Peco track that is, the Kato unitrack I think is more like uni/electrofrog in design so should do well on that)

@@GosportRailworks honestly from this . I am going to love Percy . Considering stalling on points isn’t a big issue for me honestly . Just a finger tap and there off again . Or double header with thomas ! And thank god that the valvegear is stable. I mean I wouldn’t want to be running Percy with say a goods train and then boom the cross head drops out of the slide bars and hits the sleeper hence bending it out of shape and throwing Percy of my table to the floor and making all the trucks go in a heap off the rails . I mean damaged Percy , damaged track maybe and trucks too … Tho thank the lord it’s all stable and good . Cuz I am all around going to use him a good amount . As for my plan with him . Possibly removal of that front hook . Maybe ? I mean it is kind of in the way of the detailing . I may change my mind once I get him but from the images and videos … it just looks to big for his front end … Tho one I am exited for for the up coming are Gordon and Emily. Gordon for being a pacific . And I saw flying Scotsman a year ago down at york . So fun it was . And whilst at york also saw the dean single there too . Both basis models of Gordon and Emily together at york railway museum . Pure coincidence . Anyways … I am mainly exited for Emily honestly . She looks so good and detailed . Simple but in a good way . And she has her own coaches also to go behind what match . So there on the list and everything And considering Emily looks to be similar build quality’s to Percy . Not just in green . But in the simple valvegear . Gordon’s is so complicated and I recon I would most likely drop him or something and it would all just fall to bits . Whilst Emily and I recon Percy seem to be simple Percy with one rod to 2 wheels on each side and a second rod connecting to a plastic piece to the cylinders . And Emily with her big wheel and metal rod with plastic piece to the cylenders Thomas James & Toby all having one rod on each set of wheels to couple all 3 wheels on each side together . As for Gordon’s wheelset … WOW that be looking breakable . Tho imma still get him . Emily is my most likely first buy after James . And Percy is coming before them all . And hopefully by 2027 we will have thomas , Percy , James , Emily , Toby & Gordon . And honestly I am exited … Tho my expensive journey will wait for some years till now Anyways . Have a good day . And do you recommend Percy .? Some reviews say how good he is and how sturdy he is . Whilst others have said the whistle up top is fragile and so on and so fourth about other small parts . Anyways thanks

@@GosportRailworksmonth later and I got a percy for Christmas thanks to my amazing mom Opened him and he worked amazingly for the first hour … then he stopped Now we’re sending him back to get a replacement model of it to see if we got a dud model .

And yeah … the valevegesr is sturdy !

Not to mention that MINUSCULE whistle up top of the saddle . But since he is back in his box … I don’t really want to touch him if I sadly can’t keep him since he is damaged . Ehh well I am awaiting for Gordon to be released in the uk so I can eventually get him ! Just will take a while .

Cheers very much, and they are a bit pricy but yeah it's not so much compared to the usual Farish prices, but would assume that if they made further runs of them they would be cheaper since they should've paid off the tooling by then! Hopefully anyway heh, but they are very nice wagons personally, well made and unique, if I didn't have some already I'd be tempted as well heh

Glad that you enjoyed it Pete, and also glad that you are also enjoying the wagons as well! And I forgot about that milk wagon, which funny enough I do own one of heh Either way I'll keep making reviews when I can!

Cheers very much, and you should see what I've been doing with some more EMUs I've got lined up in another video!

They are quite interesting engines, and it is indeed a shame that they aren't made ready to run in N Gauge, and unfortunately the chassis for the kits are bit hard to come by easily or cheaply! I'm just hoping for some more reliable chassis come along to make them easier to make kits for but might be a while till that happens heh

@@GosportRailworks honestly I can’t be bothered with kit models. Besides the kato 11-109 that is I mean I have never been one for taking a model apart just to use the chassis . I am all for re painting it just not removing itself completely for something new Cuz if I re paint it it’s just the same engine with a new livery . For a good example the many MANY livery’s of Stepney from the bluebell railway he has had .

@@GosportRailworks and it’s for what I know anyways we don’t have too many small tank engines for N scale We have Thomas and Percy and Toby from Bachman from that line and a tomix Thomas and Percy too . There is 5 small engines . And for real we have jinty , pannier & terrier . That’s about it for small shunters And yeah we are lacking a regular E2 , USA yank tank & probably many pugs who can re use the same chassis I mean I don’t know about you but I would kill for a N scale Smokey joe to be produced . Imagine that and you can bet I would pay for one if it were maybe £70 or about . Similar to the 00 one what was £50 not too much more However that means we can have many more engines made like the 102 tank , D tank , Smokey joe from earlier , and others like fire less and peket and maybe even if you remove the cylenders a Y7 tank engine also Imagine the possibility’s with this . And it can be done already with a percy chassis … but like I mentioned I don’t want to kit built everything . Why can’t we just have one singular 0-4-0 chassis to have the cylenders taken on or off for a engine and have new body shells on-top for different models . Like hornbys 0-4-0 but N scale ified Or for a standard 0-6-0 we have plenty already … however not many tank engine designs like a E2 or USA tank also . Who both worked at south Hampton mind you . Just think of the possibility’s of engines with 2 chassis made we could have thousands of models produced and all fairly cheaply too

@@MaxwellTheTrainFan There's also the J50 from Sonic Models, the newly announced (maybe again) J72 from Dapol, along with the EFE Rail J94 (quite a few new LNER designs), then the very dated Dapol 14xx (which could be used for shunting) There are also a few other tank engines as well, two Standard Classes, and two LMS designs too but they are larger engines. But you will have to resort to kit building if you want more, as the manufacturers will only make something if they can sell enough of it to make a profit after paying the costs of it, and if the numbers won't add up, then it doesn't get built. Kit building is the only way to get something truely unique and cover everything, even the less popular but interesting designs.

@@GosportRailworks we got bachmans Thomas to add to that all So we kinda have a E2 … just a tv version in bright blue and red stripes

Cheers very much, and they can be used as various sorts of businesses, wouldn't be too hard to produce your own signs for them with a printer and some trail and error to get the size right!

Glad you like it!

Cheers very much Terry, and am doing what I can, and no worries, figured after so long of dealing with it, figured I should update everyone!

I have used some Tomytec chassis and have Plazajapan to be an excellent supplier and they also carry Greenmax and Kato chassis as well. All three of these brands of chassis seem to be manufactured in batches and a particular model may sometimes become unavailable until the next batch is manufactured. I agree that James is doing a brilliant job in filling gaps in available rolling stock.

The printer I use is the Eelgoo Mars 4 Max, and I often make use of Tomytec chassis, do know of a website which lists most of their dimensions which could be helpful for you as well! www.trainweb.org/tomix/chassis_dim.htm Has most of them and some details on other brands too! For accuracy, I think I'm mostly only slightly off at times, never would claim they are 100% but at least aim for 95% being correct heh, but will continue making more, though at some point I might run out of southern items to work on but have had requests for modern items as well!

@@GosportRailworksthank you I will take a look. As I said think you are doing a great job, we each strive to increase accuracy, but we have to remember this is N gauge, most of it is not seen. Worry not.

Ta very much Pete, and glad you like the 4-LAV, will try to get some older units in where I can to make up for the newer bits heh, just they used all the same parts so was easy to pop them together!

Not entirely accurate. The 4 Rep units had new motors which were reused in the 442s. Until the 442s the Rep units were very much the fastest units. The Cep / Bep fleet also had new motors and I agree that on South East they accelerated well with an MLV at the front.

Cheers very much, and luckily I do record some things in advance so have got plenty of time to focus on health a bit more, though do still want to get the odd video done where I can heh

Thank you very much, and hopefully some medication will sort things out for me, and I might do a video where I put together a simple engine/coach just to should how I go about things. Though unsure when I'll be able to get round to that, but will pop it on my list of videos to work on!
