Thanks S for watching my video and comment. Not as dear as the CMX at £224 🤣 thou. How's your ELink hope you have sussed it out. ATB mate. Hope M is well 🇺🇦 Cheers Kevin 🙋🏻‍♂️👍🤝

@@bluebellcentralmodelrailwa4064 all is still ok at this end, I will be doing a video soon

Thank you so very much Danny for watching my video and comment. There used to be George & Margaret doing these as mentioned in earlier yt vids. But I only had contact with Margaret. She also mentioned to me it was a 1 person business. So I wonder if George has passed away. Excellent service off her. I ordered early morning think it was Wednesday. She posted it just after midday & it arrived 1030am this morning. You should watch vids on YT & I would suggest getting 1. CMX is just way too dear, but this being less than 1/2 price it was a No Brainer. With you having large attic layout you could do with 1. Hope you are well mate, ATB 🙋🏻‍♂️👍🤝🛠

Thank you so very much for watching my video and comment. Garden centres are unusual for modellers. Strange the items they have that are used for landscaping a layout. Cheers mate, ATB Kevin 🙋‍♂️🤝👍🏞

Thanks for watching my video and comment. Taking bit longer now, the more built the less free space to move. Will be awesome when boards completed so i can start track laying. Cheers mate, ATB Kevin 🛠🙋‍♂️🤝👍

Cheers & thanks for watching my video and comment. Yes its coming alone, cant wait to finish them so i can start laying track. ATB mate, cheers Kevin 🙋‍♂️🤝👍

Thanks for watching my video and comment. Watched Ivor when i was a kid, the stories are great. Cant wait until this is released 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🙋‍♂️🤝👍

Thanks for watching my video and comment. Cant wait to see this little engine with wagons off the Titfield Thunderbolt film cheers Kevin 🙋‍♂️🤝👍

No problem 👍 mate. Was always wanting someone to do Ivor

Thanks for watching my video and comment Danny. I wasn't going to get 1 of these as you knew. But with the massive discount I couldn't resist. Will look awesome tilting around bends once I get track on layout. Cheers mate ATB Kevin 🙋‍♂️🚄👍🤝

Thanks for watching my video Danny and comment. Yes it's nice to get something off Ebay that only needed a good clean to get it moving. Cheers mate ATB Kevin 🙋🏻‍♂️👍🤝

Thanks for watching my video and comment Peter. I managed to buy a load of these couplings at a great price. I try to use these as much as possible, 1000 times better than tension locks. Cheers & happy modelling mate, ATB Kevin 🙋🏻‍♂️👍🤝

Thanks for watching my video and comment S. The original loco that had the duel with the steam roller & subsequently crashed was black, but heavily weathered with grime making it look greyish. But it was black & numbered 1401. Cheers mate hope you & M are well & keeping safe as can be in Ukraine 🇺🇦

Thank you so very much for watching my video and comment. Yes these are great both the loco pack & coaches pack. Not happy with pantograph though as very flimsy & plastic. Happy modelling mate, ATB Kevin 🙋🏻‍♂️👍🤝🚄

Cheers Dave thanks for watching my video. Glad prices were reduced from RRP as they were way too dear. ATB Kevin 🙋‍♂️👍🤝🚄

Thank you Peter for watching my video and comment. I was never going to buy these as the price was way too steep. But with Rails having such a huge discount I couldn't resist. Having the extra coach packs means I can run any size from 5 6 7 all the way up to 14 & having the test coach with computers in not in rake. So thats good. All the best Peter, take care & happy modeling cheers Kevin 🙋‍♂️🤝👍

Thank you so very much for watching my video and comment David. I actually took this back to Lidl & exchanged it for a wired one instead of the charging one. Not tested yet as I need to find where to get more staples & nails from. ATB mate cheers Kevin 🙋‍♂️👍🤝

Thank you so much Clive for watching my video and comment. I need to finish building my remaining baseboards & connect them up 1st. Then the process of planning & laying track will commence. I have been under the impression that this train tilts on corners. So will have to test out 1st before maybe going super elevation on curves. I just had to get these at such a huge saving off RRP. ATB mate, & thanks again for supporting my channel. Cheers Kevin 🙋‍♂️🤝👍🚄

I know I've said for years why hasn't someone done Ivor The Engine. Thought they could have done 3d printed figures with ModelU instead of cardboard cut outs. But I suppose they are trying to do as per the tv episodes. Hope you & M are keeping well mate. ATB Kevin 🙋‍♂️👍🤝🚂

Thank you so very much Dave for watching my video and comment. I have many more boxes of mystery stuff that I've purchased over the years. Hopefully I can get more videos done to show you all. Cheers Dave ATB Kevin 🙋‍♂️👍🤝🚘🚐🚖🚔🚒🚜

Thank you so very much Danny for watching my video and comment. It's taking me a while to do, as you know there's other things that need to be done domestically wise. The house & family. The hobby is done when spare time permits. I'm sure everyday I get abducted by Aliens, as where does the hours in a day go, they seem to fly by. Doesn't help having to constantly move boxes around to gain the space for the next board. Will get there in the end, then the real fun can start after all the boards are done. Cheers mate, happy modelling, ATB Kevin 🧏‍♂️🛠👍🤝

Thanks for watching my video Danny and comment. Hope you and family are keeping well. It's great finding amazing stuff in my mystery boxes in my deepest "Black Hole" There's still so much stuff to find. Take care mate and thanks again. ATB, cheers Kevin 👨‍🔧🤝👍🚚🚕🚗

Cheers S thanks for watching my video and comment. The ones in the flip cases don't think OO gauge, so as I said will put up on a corner wooded hillside. So then won't be so obvious if scale off, especially set in amongst a load of trees. Cheers ATB Kevin 🧏‍♂️👍🤝🚘🚚🚜👀

@@bluebellcentralmodelrailwa4064 I have some vehicles that are different scales, some look ok others are too big or small. The red car transporter on my lay-out is 1/87 but has 1/76 cars on it and they fit perfectly.

Hopefully these vehicles can find somewhere to park themselves

Cheers mate, much appreciated you watching my video and comment. Have still to do maybe 4-5 other boards, so it's long process. Trouble is the more baseboards I install the less room I have to move & join them up. Next will be the other board around the end of radiator & onto the board in my right wardrobe area. Cheers S, make sure you & M take great care in Ukraine. ATB Kevin 🧏‍♂️🛠👍🤝

Thank you Danny for watching my video and comment. Yes these are all now on offer at Rails of Sheffield. So I could have saved £30 if I had waited & got all 3 from Rails. But at the time Bure & New Modeller were the cheapers prices @£104 each including delivery. Will fit passengers, drivers & coach lighting when I fit decoders. Glad you have now relaxed some from being busy. All the best mate, cheers Kevin 👨‍🔧🤝👍🚉

Thank you so very much Dave for watching my video and comment. Surprised me the level of details on the livery. Thought this would have been 1 of those horrible stuck on vinyl wraps. But I've been lead to learn it's actually Lazer Printed, that's how they can get such accurate details. Will be fitting dcc decoder, driver, passengers and lighting strip in a future video. Don't have time at the moment as any spare time is being diverted to building my baseboards for my layout. Cheers & thanks again Dave for supporting my channel. ATB Kevin 👨‍🔧🤝👍🚉

Thank you Clive for watching my video and comment. Everyone should give this company a look at & purchase from them. Great that they can give us huge discounts. Just shows having less overheads to pay out helps Everyone. Cheers mate ATB Kevin 🧏‍♂️🚉👍🤝

Thanks for watching my video and comment S. Hornby locos have a tendency of being noisy straight out of the box. Seems they settle down once been run in for atleast 30mins in both directions. Will have to wait til I've built a circle of track. Cheers mate, ATB mate, happy modeling, Kevin 👨‍🔧🤝👍

Thanks so very much Clive for watching my video and comment. I'm a complete novice when it comes to cv's. I've not a Scoobie about them. Doesn't help using that Bachmann controller especially the stupid track power clip. Will have to wait until I get a loop set up to hopefully suss it out. Cheers again mate, all the best, Kevin 🧏‍♂️🛠👍🤝

Thank you so very much Danny for watching my video and comment. I have found a load of different tts decoders, from class 47's, 66's, 67's, Tornado, A1's & class 43 to name a few. This 31 though is reacting strangely jumping so much the bogies fly off a straight piece of track. Roll on when I get a circular set of tracks down to try to sort this out. All the best mate, cheers Kevin 🧏‍♂️🛠👍🤝

Thanks S for watching my video and comment. Until I test it fully can't tell if it's the track connector, track or loco not running properly on TTS. It shakes that much it jumps off the track all by itself. Will have to wait & see eh. ATB mate cheers Kevin 🧏‍♂️🛠👍🤝

Thank you so very much Danny for watching my video and comment. Thanks for your continued support of my channel. Thanks to all my subscribers getting me to 800+. Next journey is to 900 then the 1k. This original loco is nicely weathered from the factory. TMC I think just brings it more to life. Cheers & thanks again mate, ATB & Happy Modeling. Kevin 👨‍🔧🤝👍🎨

Thank you so very much Elaine for watching my video and comment. The original 47 straight from the factory is weathered & the pics I've seen it looks great. The work from TMC I think just highlights a more all round weathering. I got this loco at a great price, so well chuffed with it. Cheers & thanks again. ATB & happy modeling, Kevin 👨‍🔧🤝👍🎨

Thanks S hope you & M are ok after the last lot of bombardments from the East. Hornby 31 is very basic. I need to get cabs to fit in. Could probably get Hornby Spares from somewhere. The Bachmann 47 runs so smooth. Thanks for watching my video and comment. ATB & happy modelling, cheers Kevin 🧏‍♂️🛠👍🤝

@@bluebellcentralmodelrailwa4064Thanks, Mate, We're still OK. I have found that all makes run better than Hornby

Thank you so very much Alan for watching my video and comment. Its beyond a joke how this was so badly advertised. Hornby was a joke when I phoned them. Even when a customer pointed out so many times they had advertised this wrongly they still wasn't interested. Customer Service at its best!! NOT. Atleast in the end I got the TTS fitted by using the 21 to 8 pin adaptor. But it did cost me extra when it shouldnt have. All the best Alan, cheers Kevin 👨‍🔧🛠🤝👍

Thank you so very much S for watching my video and comment. Ive got a small stool I made so I will be able to stand on that to get to places on the corners of boards. I will need to lay the track 1st & make sure it all works ok with clearances & running. Then fit scenery around it. Will be a while until I get to that stage. Cheers mate, & thanks alot for advice. Take great care both of you. ATB Kevin 👨‍🔧🛠🤝👍

Thank you so very much Peter for watching my video and comment. Your words of encouragement for my channel are very much appreciated. Can't wait to get all the boards completed & joined up together. Hardest bit will be either doing a lift out or drop down section at the door area for access. Any tips would be very much appreciated off everyone. All the best Peter, cheers Kevin 🧏‍♂️🛠👍🤝

Thank you Danny for watching my video and comment. Your continued support is very much appreciated mate. Its hard work starting off with doing the baseboards. Can't wait for that so the fun can start planning trackwork & scenery. All the best Danny, cheers Kevin 🧏‍♂️🛠👍🤝

Thank you so very much Clive for watching my video and comment. There is lots of computer programs for designing layouts. But these symbols give you a visual guide. Basically theyre used for building a layout a bit at a time. If you have a piece of graph paper you can use that to an exact scale size. You can trace around the pieces to build up a full set of plans. Will have to see how it works out when I lay track. Cheers mate, happy modeling. ATB Kevin 👨‍🔧🛠🤝👍

Cheers Danny Thanks for watching my video and comment. Its a long work in progress, just takes so long to start with doing baseboards. But well ! atleast I've started building a layout. Better fun comes once you start putting track & scenery down. Thanks for your continued support & encouragement mate. ATB Kevin 🧏‍♂️👍🤝🛠

Thank you so very much S for watching my video and comment. Until baseboards are assembled in proper place I can't tell. Will have to wait & see once I lay the tracks & put platforms down

Thanks for watching my video Danny and comment. Yes I will take care with the nail/staple gun. Will have to go steady at 1st. I'm cutting wood at moment for more baseboards. Hope you can get up in loft soon. It's a bit cooler up here today. ATB mate, cheers Kevin 🧏‍♂️🤝👍🛠

Thanks for watching my video and comment Peter. The baseboards are taking longer to build as I have a lot of stuff in boxes to move around 1st in room. But hopefully will get there soon. Hope you manage to get the controller that you want for your O gauge set up. Cheers Peter ATB mate, Kevin 🧏‍♂️🤝👍🛠

Thank you so very much Danny for watching my video, your comment & words of encouragement, it's very much appreciated. The 2 boards are now up & joined together. Also They're Level 😁 was hoping more people would have viewed. Creeping upwards slowly towards 800 subs. Hope I can make the magical 1k All the best mate Cheers Kevin 🧏‍♂️🤝👍🛠🚉

Thanks S for watching my video and comment. Yes I will be able to get into that corner mate. Bit stretching but won't be a massive problem. Will be a bit of time before scenery is done. Have to empty out the built in wardrobes. As going to also use that space. Build boards to go in there & finish off other boards around the room. Join them all together not forgetting sorting out where the door opens. Then I can lay some tracks & do the upper section for dc use. So it will take time, but atleast I've started. All the best to you & M. Cheers Kevin 🧏‍♂️👍🤝

Thanks Danny for watching my video and comment. These are great for planning a layout. Alot easier using these instead of the real thing. Being 1/4 scale you can work out whats required easily. Having multiple packs means you have the opportunity to plan bigger track runs. I think these are a great help when 1st designing track work. Cheers Danny ATB & thanks for your continued support of my channel. Kevin 👨‍🔧🤝👍

Thank you Dave for watching my video and comment. Thanks for the continued support of my channel, its much appreciated. These little symbols are easy to use & clip together. Having more than 1 pack also helps build a better scale plan. Cheers Dave ATB Kevin 👨‍🔧🤝👍

Thank you so very much Peter for watching my video and comment. No idea where I got these lorrys from. It was in the last century 🤣 Ive got so much stuff that infact I've no idea what's there in all my boxes. Everyone is like a mystery box. So its going to be a nice pleasure when I go throu them all. ATB mate, hope you are keeping well. Cheers Kevin 👨‍🔧🤝👍🚚🚕🚗

Thank you so very much for watching my video and comment. I have a pack of these that I bought years ago. But I can't seem to retrieve them from the pull of the black hole. So thats why I went out & bought another 3 packs. My layout will be quite large as I'm going to take it all around the walls of room with a central well. I did have a computer program for design, but I've not been on the laptop for the past 4years. Hope you can get something for your garden layout planning. Cheers & ATB Kevin 🧏‍♂️👍🤝

Thank you so much for watching my video Danny and comment. Can't wait to get all baseboards made & linked together so can plan the track. Thanks for your continued support. ATB mate cheers Kevin 🧏‍♂️👍🤝

Cheers S time will tell how I get on with it. Main problem is free space to work. As I have to keep moving boxes around to free up space as I'm going alone. Hopefully will come ok in end
