Thankyou. I’m hoping to add decoupling units on the sidings too , to help me manage the rolling stock. 😊

Thanks Pete. The layout is loosely based on another layout by Dibsyardshuntinglayout on Instagram. He gave me permission to use his layout for inspiration. 😊

@@hotdogpilot6319 Thankyou. Not had much time for the layout recently, but now I’ve got the track laid and power mostly sorted I’m hoping to get on to the more fun bits to make it come more to life. 😊

@@hotdogpilot6319 Most definitely. I have probably made a rod for my own back though using a double slip and a three way point on the layout. But I do like a challenge! 😂

Hi. Yes all your greens need linking together as that’s the common ground.

@HillcrestHalt so basically put all the point motor wires in each switch but link all the green together?

@@roberthall7059yes that’s correct. You basically wire up exactly how I’ve done it but just add more points wired exactly the same way. If you use the same switch as me then you can link more switches by adding another red and black wire to another switch module.

@HillcrestHalt thanks. Am using rails of Sheffield point motors which come wired up ready

Thankyou for watching . Yes it’s a great little soldering iron. I do still have to use a standard soldering iron though for some work. I ended up melting a sleeper because I hadn’t noticed a little vent angled towards the track blasting out really hot air. Other than that it’s an amazing bit of kit. 😊

I have to agree on the parking as the shop is on a main road. Luckily we needed some food shopping too so parked up the road on the Lidl store car park.

Yes it is rather. 😊

@@richardknowles963 Hi Richard. I wish this shop was closer to me , I’d be in there all the time . Thanks for watching 😊

@@HillcrestHalt Well I actually live in North Wales but my experiences online and over the phone have always been positive! :)

@@charlie1872 The points aren’t wired in properly yet, just had a single feed to the track. I hope it will work though along with the double slip. I’ll be starting to put the droppers on first , then onto wiring up the points. I have an 8 way switch that I’ll be using to power the points too. Below is the video showing how I’ll be wiring up my points. 😊 Wiring a 2JZ isn't as easy as I thought... th-cam.com/video/aaa4lG55Rok/w-d-xo.html

@@HillcrestHalt I will look forward to watching that. i know small 0-4-0 locos have trouble negotiating the points

@@plunkervillerr1529 Hi . Yes they have a large room also full of used stock. 😊

Agreed. I'm still waiting for a pre-ordered model that was released 3 weeks ago and was paid for 7 days ago. I'm going to cancel my other pre-orders and go elsewhere. I've been a Rails customer for years and I'd never recommend using them again.

lol I’m definitely up for the challenge. Might even consider trying point rodding but first attempt will be using either Peco pm1 or servo points from scalemodelscenery.😊

@@Warbler-Productions I know lol. It is a shame it’s not had more views but never mind. Still brilliant though, love the echo off the train as it starts to move off. 😊 Thanks for watching.

It's around 40 years old by now

@@EE12CSVT I know I have 2 of rhe original 3 car sets..one in Blue Grey & one in white blue plus extra coach for the blue grey one...with adverts inside for railriders lol

@@GregPalmer1000 I never knew RR had ads in Hornby models

@@EE12CSVT i have the sets packed away so cant take a pic of them...but they were in both sets...

Thankyou. I’ve actually been planning it for months but finally set it up at Railway club the other week. I’m working on the Station Building again later tonight. 😊

Thankyou. It was a brilliant show. The first one organised by Barnabas Junction.

@@HillcrestHalt We have our share of shows here but nowhere near as much as in the UK sadly. So I'm always keen on still seeing the shows that I'm unable to attend.

It’s a brilliant shop, just like the Tardis. 😊

It was a brilliant exhibition. Very popular. I’ll be going next year too hopefully. 😊

lol yes we were both saying yesterday that we heard both Grace and Jason(1 minute 22 seconds in). Cindy appears again just like where’s Wally too lol.Great to meet you again too. 😊

Thankyou. It was a brilliant show. Brand new too as it was the very first one organised by Barnabas Junction. Quite a few TH-camrs turned up too. 😊

Yes it’s my personal layout. I did forget to link an earlier video that shows most of the Metcalfe buildings I’ll be using. The layout is 8ft x 6ft so won’t fit in our flat lol. It’s Caldecote Village Hall where our model railway club meets every Wednesday. th-cam.com/video/r-h5qXp5TE8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uo8EiZ1wsQI7addq

Yup, I discovered the same issue in May. The staff went above and bevond however in getting the items I wanted sent to me by mail at no extra cost.
