Will you make Sir Hayden soon?

Is it a metric or imperial crab?

Your masking is incredible. I'm working on wagons an order of magnitude bigger and I can't manage near those clean lines

Looking very nice! I’ve finished Dolgoch and started work on 009 Edward Thomas for Christmas in her new grey livery. Not looking forward to doing all that lining as it will be fiddly…

Very different to what I'm used to from you George but great video nonetheless, honestly wouldn't mind more videos of this kind of style.

Yes very nice indeed, as per.

So much to comment on. Yes, I hate the phrase “hump day” too. I snorted my coffee through my nose at the phrase “If you’ve got crabs”. Childish I know… Other than that. Great work. I look forward to seeing the shelf layout build.

Happy New Year and happy subconcious and completely automatic breathing in 2025. It"s going to be a very fine loko. What scale is it? The crab I mean ...

Really coming along now. What is the red you used. As I'm looking to do Russell for my FR/WHR layout which is under construction. And are there any other alternative. Would you do a video on your 16mm sir haydn at some point

The perfect baby garrett

Hi George, I found the front motor unit really obvious once the loco had been painted. It's disporting itself between the smokebox door and the front tank. Perhaps paint it flat black, or a black card cover? I like how you finish the lining; a slash of yellow, a blob of black, some black down the outside, and voila! It's done!

Nice video, just want to say, the Vale of Rhiedol have an NGG13 and not an NGG16, only the WHR have NGG16s, and they a great machines

Btw a video where u show all wagons and locos you have would be interesting i think, easy to film would make a good additional video

Do you think your garett will fit on corrish as a visiting engine?

It's really looking nice, George 👍.

*Happy New Year George* Glad to see Rupert's been forgiven for his slight transgression before Crimbo. I think I'm increasingly glad no Isle of Wight line employed Garratts I'd have to model. Any chance you could expand a bit on what to look for when selecting an airbrush please?

Never mind the kitten chaos, I hope the toddler song doesn’t get you demonetised…

Greetings from germany, wanted to say thank you for your Videos, you are the reason why i started building kits, and paint them on my own instead of only buying ready to run, just finished my Douglas (Gem white metal kit, found a assembled one cheap in here germany had to order another chassis for replacement parts but still cheaper for me than the westcliff works body on its own with shipping). Pls keep making awesome videos

Splendid result

Build a layout for the Garratt. It deserves it.

Excellent work. Nice to learn Crab is now a unit of measurement. 😀

im not a bot btw just made a new account 💀

oo its so pretty

What do you think about those cheap portable airbrushes on amazon

I cant find the airservice plate on the lrs store

Well George I don't remember how long I have been following you on YT but I do know it has been an interesting time learning from someone who does such a good job modelling the scenery on a narrow gauge railway. I have just completed the first part of weathering the track on a shelf layout I am building using a similar colour palette to that in the Nant Gwernol series of videos except I have substituted Humbrol cement for antique white as I have been happy with the result I obtained doing the bridge, again following the example you showed from Corrish. When I'm out and about I find myself looking more closely at how things are weathering and what colours are in things that can all look the same colour if you are not paying attention. I am going to go on a moss hunt shortly and hopefully I can find what appears in your video to be common tamarisk moss. Thankyou for the inspiration of the last year and I'm looking forward to more inspiration in the new year.

Hi George, really enjoying your videos. Was thrilled to see you doing a Garratt. I'd looked at one of these and convinced myself it would be too big. Then your video popped up and I'm hooked all over again. One is on order and I've tried to obtain the other parts from RT Models. I wonder if anyone else has experienced problems with this? My order was refunded without explanation and I can't get a reply from them. It now appears they are out of stock! If anyone knows of an alternative I'd appreciate it. Looking forward to seeing your finished model - cheers!

Pop cctv in that room....the crimes that occur could be Pippy, Pom Pom or Rupert 😅

😅 you love moss

Hi G nice calming video as ever, the trees probably larch are susceptible to Phytophthora Ramorum which is an algae like organism called a water mould. It causes extensive damage and death to 150 species of plant life so they get rid of diseased trees as a precaution. The forestry commission or whoever they are now have just had a big drive in our area of South Wales. Hope you are having a good time over the holiday keep up the great work I have learnt a great deal watching your channel many thanks Ted🙏😄

Very entertaining video, have spent a lot of time visiting Wales over the years, it's a lovely part of the world.

You're rambling George. Nice to see you out and about, calm, and collected. I must have missed seeing your new gimbal thing at the Maidstone show. Enjoyable peaceful video, just what I needed after Christmas. Have a good new year.

Have I missed something how long do you leave it in the glycerin?another brilliant video

Lovely video and talk George! I enjoy christmas, but i enjoy my own company a lot more than i enjoy a house ful of 20+ people. My social battery drains so quickly this time of the year that going somewhere like this for a walk is so refreshing. Thanks for the brilliant videos this year, and I look forwards to your skills next year too!

I forgot it was Friday a nice little surprise,hope you and your family had a great Christmas.

Thanks for the moss-hunting video George - you kept your promise!

The colours make you look like you're in twilight 🫡

Merry Christmas George ! Enjoy your modelling !

Can't find our favourite Christmas cheeses locally this year - Blacksticks Blue and Blue Shropshire.

Ok, so after the glesorine bath? Dry it paper towels?

bryology my favourite hobby for my railway layout 😊👌😎☕️ all the best for the new year CW

Hi George, I think it’s nice to use natural materials. I hardly think that the amount the few model railroaders would collect would impact anything. Anything in a city centre is probably “harvested” by the ton, and illegally. I live in Victoria, Australia, which is a place where both physically and psychologically you could imagine the end of the earth is happening ( in fact a U.S. movie was made about this). I collect a small bush in salt flat wastelands here. Between when the growth ends and the plant blows away in the wind, the skeletons of the very small plants are like miniature apocalyptic trees, and with a spray of adhesive and applying fine leaf product, I can make any imaginable type of tree. And no, I have never seen any other person collecting these … feel safe George …)

I’ve used it for some time - it grows in abundance in my garden on old stones and tree trunks.

You are very dedicated. Going on a date, then leaving her alone and rather pluck moss for your toy-train... The fact that she later became your wife, must be a sign of true love. Gongrats.

Non moss-related, but couldn't help noticing that particular post and rail metal fencing - with my modeller's head on, naturally. You mentioned a date of 188(something) .... my brother was at Christ's Hospital (Sussex), which dates from roughly the same time and features the same stuff. Thinking back, I've not seen it used earlier than the late 19th or later than about the end of WWI. Perhaps a useful dating cue for old images and on relaxing walks Happy New Year to you George. Looking forward to much more of your inspirational output.

You are right George, a small handfull of moss will last you years, without the environmental costs of mass harvesting, transportation, proccessing and packaging. All we ask is that people take a handfull and no more. Please guys...don't all rush out to Vyrnwy to collect it, the moss can be found in most wooded and damp areas of the UK. www.britishbryologicalsociety.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Atlas-of-British-and-Irish-Bryophytes-V2-481.pdf

I think the moss is common tamerisck, not sure of the spelling, and it is legal to forage wild plants as long as you don't up root or sell the material.

Hahahah 😂 can't just drink prosecco... Great video mate. Merry Christmas ⛄

Hope you had a nice Christmas. Looking forward to what comes next. I've seen that fourdees are starting to bring out the Talyllyn boggy coaches. Hope to see you around next year as well as the layout at some point in the future.
