@@TimothyWorel-f8j I'd say that if it fits well with your model railway layout era, it's worth it for sure. I was after this class 101 Stratchclyde Transport fella for a wee while, and it makes the layout just feel "right". 🙂 Hey... thank you for stopping through! 🙂👍🏻

@TheScottishModelRailwayGuy it's a nice looking model

@@charlie1872 They're fantastic looking models 🙂

@Shelvington_Railway Thank you for stopping through Andy! Yeah, it's the loco I really wanted to begin to get the theme aligned. Sub reciprocated so I can get a look at your channel 👍🏻👍🏻

@@MelonLost Thank you! This one is a lot more descriptive I think. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos 🙂👍🏻

Thank you! There are updated ones now with some better sound (I bought a mic). Thanks for stopping past 🙂. I hope you find the channel to be helpful!

@@TheScottishModelRailwayGuy It absolutely is! Yours is my favourite model railway channel. I'll find the newer video now...

Hey... thank you! Thank you for such kind feedback 🙂. That's really nice of you and I hope you enjoy the content! 🙂👍🏻

Hey, thank you for subscribing! So, I got those wee lanterns from Temu really cheap. If you search 00 Gauge lights 3 volt you'll find them 🙂👍🏻 Cheers for stopping past! 🙂

@NewModelRailway1 I'll give this a try for sure. Thank you, and thanks for the kind comments 🙂👍🏻

@@shedhead00 They aren't cheap from Hornby for sure, but on this occasion I just had to have it because my whole layout is sort of geared toward a fictional railway line between Ayrshire and Glasgow, and I remember these beauties running on the real lines. Hey... thanks for your comments. Much appreciated, and I hope you enjoy the content 🙂👍🏻

@@gibbosj08 The Strathclyde Transport Livery was huge in this area (Ayrshire and Glasgow) in the 90's and early 2000's, and very striking. It brings back memories! They were a cool train to be on 🙂. What style is yoursm

@@gibbosj08 and it is very smoothe compared to the Hornby Class 57.

Haha... I guess it's not even possible to bulk move Coca Cola (in fact I know for sure it isn't possible 🤫), so why not put something else in it? 😀 I reckon the Class 101 brings my layout to life in its true era 🙂

@TheScottishModelRailwayGuy we've got some yellow tankers we're going to label up as Dylington Custard tankers. Yes, the class 101 looks great and is right at home on your layout 😁👍

Thank you again mate. I love it! 🙂

Thank you mate. I've had this on my wishlist for a while! It fits with my era and area. I think it's a wee beauty!

@@paladin4570 The only two deserts I've been in are The Nevada Desert (Las Vegas) and in Qatar when I worked there... no doubt very different to the Arizona Desert! You have youself a wonderful Christmas please, and thank you for taking the time to drop a comment! Very much appreciated 🙂👍🏻

@@paladin4570 Hey!... Merry Christmas from the very windy and wet West Coast of Scotland! So, yes... they're plaster cast strips. In the UK they're pretty cheap to buy, and polysterene (styrofoam?) is free at this time of year with any gifts given from family and friends. You have yourself a wonderful Christmas. Has it ever snowed in the Arizona Desert yet?

@@jonpinney8537 Thanks Jon! It's a bit of a journey for me too! It's really pleasing to hear that some of the ideas I come up with are useful to others. I do love a hedge on my layout. It makes it feel proper British 🙂👍🏻

Absolutely. Have a great Christmas and New Year. All the best Jon.

@@jonpinney8537 Thank you, and you have an amazing Christmas too! 🙂👍🏻

I guess it's a learning curve on many fronts when entering into the hobby. The TH-cam community is a fantastic resource for picking up tips from each other's learnings. I get it with glimpses through certain foreground items. I'm going to have a wee Google for that book... Cheers! 🙂👍🏻

@TheScottishModelRailwayGuy it's written by Paul Lunn, who has written for many modelling magazines, and who does some of the PECO track plan books, he now writes for Hornby Magazine. Let me know if you get a copy or download a copy. I'll tell you which is mine. I know you can download it from Pocketmags 🙂👍

@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY I have found it and added it to my wishlist! I plan to do an N Gauge or TT:120 layout at some point in the future where I actually plan from scratch and stick to the plan. This would be a good resource to get me ready for it 🙂

@TheScottishModelRailwayGuy well using some of the methods Dylan and I are using should help. The big one is, as I've said before is to do mock ups. It really helps to visualise the whole layout without spending unnecessary money. My layout is just a baseboard with lots of scrunched up newspapers and trees made from skewers and card. It has already thrown up a design problem that has now been sorted before any track has been put down. When you get a copy, let me know. I'll tell you which is mine. Like I said before, take a look at how Dylan is doing his, I can't remember which one has the mocked up hills and the trees, which he shows how he made them, it might be part 3 🙂👍

@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY I'm slowly working my way through all yours and Dylan's content. It really is a fantastic example to work from. Consider me addicted! I love the layout details and the stop motion techniques. It actually seems alive sometimes and I guess that's the ultimate objective!

@@SouthWestCrossingsUK It takes a reeeeeally steady hand and a fine tipped brush, but I think it does add to the look 🙂

@@GeorgeGossland Hey, thank you for the really kind feedback. Yes, 500 now... a good milestone. I'll genuinely try to keep the content aligned to my passion for Model Railways and keep the channel growing hopefully. Thank you! 🙂👍🏻

@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY Thanks James! So... I have painful plans... I have learned that from eye level heights must be considered. My journey is telling me to redo the first ever hills that I did in the style I can now do (the front part). I guess this is the journey, but I love it! 🙂

@TheScottishModelRailwayGuy yes I agree. Looking from eye level is really the best way to look at the layout. Also, making mock-up hills out of screwed up newspapers (like Dylan has on his 009-layout) really helps visualise how a scene might look. Also, looking for optimum viewing angles through the scenery is also a good thing to do. Using view blocking techniques also helps create a nice scene 🙂👍

I think the real secret is that once you get a wee bit of experience... take your time to think about it and always remember that you have to see the details. It's like a garden... big plants at the back, wee plants at the front I reckon.

@TheScottishModelRailwayGuy yes that's about right, but using the scrunched up newspapers can save you time and money if you create a landscape with it before committing yourself. Even mocking up the trees with cheap wooden skewers and shapes cut out of cereal packets can be a great, cheap visual aid. Have you seen Dylan's 009-layout build videos? You can see how it works on one of those 🙂👍

@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY I'm going for a look at these, and I do get you... prototype before committing! This is a great tip! 🙂👍🏻

@@SouthWestCrossingsUK thank you mate! 🙂

@NewModelRailway1 Thank you! I'm no expert on weathering either, but I do know some fols are very, very good at it. Cheers for your kind words! 🙂👍🏻

@gibbosj08 Thank you! Now, I have considered using bonding plaster, and I may try this out to see how it turns out. Thanks for the tip! 🙂 I think the reason I went down the plaster bandage route was because it held itself together. How did you find the plaster held, buddy?

@@railway187 Thank you! I really wanted to make a wee Christmas thing 🙂

Thank you! I am toying with the idea of battery powered lights on it possibly next week if I get time. Thanks to you for watching! 🙂👍🏻

@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY Thank you! I didn't want to go too far with it. Just a dusting! My wee coaster is my new pride and joy 🙂👍🏻

@TheScottishModelRailwayGuy no I think you've got it just about right, and the coaster looks amazing 🙂👍

Thank you and thank you! I'm beginning to feel it is coming together at various zones now 🙂👍🏻

​@@TheScottishModelRailwayGuyIt's definitely getting a great feel to it in a lot of the areas, and the lighting is really bringing it to life. Keep 'em coming!

@@clearprop I will endeavour, and thank you for such kind comments! 🙂🙂🙂

I agree! And it's time for a look at your Xmas layout!!

@@TheScottishModelRailwayGuy I hope you enjoy it 🙂👍

So... apologies for that! I did go through a wee phase where I was worried about my accent being too strong ans overlaid captions, but then stopped adding captions to the video and now leave it up to everybody to make the call on their own 🙂👍🏻

@@clearprop Hey... thank you! I'm glad these videos are becoming useful for people. I really do love the Metcalfe builds. I have some others in the queue coming soon. Thank you for your kind words! 🙂👍🏻

@@clearprop Thank you! I hope it helps some people along their journey with getting some lights on their layouts, or dioramas. Thank you for your kind comment! 🙂👍🏻

@@dennisb-trains23 Thank you buddy! It definitely is coming together a wee bit now. Cheers! 🙂👍🏻

Hey... thank you for such kind words! I appreciate it! 🙂 I atill have plenty to do around the layout to keep me busy for a lomg time yet 🙂👍🏻

You're absolutely welcome! I jave to admit the thought is a little daunting, but if you start with a very simple lighting circuit loop and build from there then it's patience and taking your time. Hey... thanks for engaging! Much appreciated! 🙂👍🏻

Thank you! I reckon next up will be finishing touches to the housing area in the corner 🙂👍🏻

Thank you! There is still loads to go, but that's a good thing! 🙂

@@jonnid67 Hi, so that would be different to an "on / off" switch. The on-off will only literally switch the circuit on or off. I reckon you'll need a "selector switch". I believe these are called "single pole, double throw" switches, so... if you wanted to switch from a green LED to a Red LED, it would select that. This gives me an idea that it might help if I put wee diagrams into the videos in future to help as many folks as I can! Thanks for taking the time to reach out 🙂👍🏻

@@TheScottishModelRailwayGuy Thank you for your reply and yes a wee diagram would be helpful, especially for me...

@jonnid67 Okay... so, this had made me think that I need to learn how to make a signal switch, so let me have a wee think and I'll see what I can put together in a video in the near future; perhaps a wee series that builds up as it goes like the lighting ones. Thank you for suggesting this! I'm always looking for new ideas and reasons! Amazon... here I come again... 😆

@jonnid67 I totally agree with this. Somehow it takes it from a Model Railway to a miniature world!

That's fantastic to hear! I'm genuinely pleased to hear that I'm helping others make moves on their own projects! Many thanks, and best of luck on your layout! 🙂🙂🙂👍🏻
