Thanks for watching and your comment Alan 👍🏼

Thank you very much buddy, much appreciated !

Thank you very much Robert, your comment is much appreciated. I do need to post an update, I've neglected the layout over the past year, other things got in the way. Saying that, it's a hobby so I do bits when I get chance. Once again thanks for watching & your sub ( by the way you are my "1000th" sub !!! Wow, I didn't think my channel would reach this kind of attention !) All the best.......Andy

@Andy-SharlstonEastgate Congratulations 🎉🎉. I'm also pleased, it's the first time I've 1,000th in anything, lol 🤣🤣🤣

It was a good show, enjoyed my first visit to Barnsley RailEx. I'll be planning another visit next year. Thanks for watching...Andy

Thank you very much Mystic, appreciate your comment......Andy

Thanks for watching and your kind comment buddy. I tried a different camera on this video and I'm not too impressed with some of the shots. I'm not familiar with some of the settings on the camera and I think I could have done a lot more to improve the picture quality (lighting mostly). Never mind, it was a crackin' show with some top quality layouts - yes, Tunnstone is an amazing layout and I think my personal favourite had to be Howbrooke. Take care my friend & thanks again......Andy

@Andy-SharlstonEastgate Hi Andy. Just to let you know we are going to Doncaster again next year. Hope to see you there buddy. ....Pete and Su....

@@delphjunction1168 Good news mucker, let me know nearer the time what day and I'll adjust my plans to make sure we get to meet up again 👍

Merci Alain. It was a very good exhibition 👌 👍🏼 😊

@MrKlf1956 thanks for your comment Kev. Yes, some incredible layouts on show with a very high standard of modelling. Great for some inspiration! I'm considering joining a club next year and getting involved in the exhibition scene 🤔

Thanks for watching & your kind comment Stuart, appreciated. ATB.......Andy

Thanks Lee, much appreciated ........Andy

Thanks Al 👏 It was a great day out, fantastic layouts, good atmosphere and well attended. Cheers for your comment and support as always 👍 ATB.......Andy

@@Andy-SharlstonEastgate 😁😁👍👍

Thanks Deano, much appreciated. I was chatting with the owner of Attercliffe Works (he also built the 'BSC Orgreave' layout), this was only it's second trip out on the circuit. It's a beautiful layout with superb detail. Thanks again buddy, all the best....Andy

Hi mate, thanks for your comment. The shed is the Scalescenes R023a Diesel Depot (yes, card kit), a great looking kit and can be easily kitbashed to make it thinner. The dimensions are on the website but with a bit of snipping I'm sure you could fit it in. All the best......Andy

@Andy-SharlstonEastgate perfect..thank you

@charlie1872 it's been a good piece of kit when it comes to small detail items, had it a couple of years now and i should really use it more often. It just takes time to design and perfect the prints. Thanks for your comment pal.............Andy

@@Andy-SharlstonEastgate I have a Monoprice Filament printer, I need to replace the table surface but have printed a few items like relay boxes, skips etc. As you say, it’s the modelling which makes it and I really should do more.

yes Charlie, designed them in Tinkercad, one of my first attempts :) I don't think they look too bad.

@@Andy-SharlstonEastgate I dabble a bit in Tinkercad. I have a relay box which isn’t plumb, any idea how to get it vertical ?

@@charlie1872 not sure if fillament printing is the same but i found with resin that the printer must be 100% level when printing & also, don't slice a print that has already been sliced, this caused me problems as prints came out with odd lines and deformaties?

oh yes, plenty of tasty Fords :) I've got more on my own layout to see including Sierras & Granadas and in my next video will be a first look at my new Mk2 Transit :) Many thanks for watching & your comment......Andy

oh, I disagree David, I could listen to that lovely Valenta day & night. Thanks for watching and your comment....Andy

Hi Mucker, hope you are well. Big thanks for the comment & the 👍much appreciated pal

Many thanks for your comment Al, yeah, I'm pretty impressed with the Hornby chips 🍟 😄👍

@darrelldeltic807 👋 yeah, I was quite suprised tbh, even more so with the mega bass speaker fitted. I just need another chip now for the rear unit and a bigger layout so I can run all of my Mk 3's 😄

@@Andy-SharlstonEastgatenice one mate, I just pickup another one from someone who’d removed it from the new HST as they didn’t use the HM7000? I don’t think they realise you can switch it to dcc control 🤔

Pinch away John :) It's great that this YT Model Railway crew share ideas, I've learnt a huge amount from the great videos on here. The mesh was only a few quid & I can make metres of fencing with it :) Once again, many thanks for your comment & all the best....Andy

Much appreciated John, Thanks 👍

Love my DMU's mate, takes me back to my Rail Riders days around West Yorkshire. I've got a big thing for the 1980's cars as well, passed my test in a Maestro !! Thanks for your kind comment..Andy

@@Andy-SharlstonEastgate - yeah I used the cross city line/Birmingham all DMUs. Holidays in Wales all DMUs. Passed my test in a Metro! I went to the Llangollen railcar weekend last October, they have a fine selection of DMUs running there. I went on my own and spent all day, and I mean all day riding the rails in all these different trains & I loved it, took me right back. I’ve only got a 121 on my layout as I model up to date modern Image, but watching your videos has made me want to buy a blue & grey DMU! Keep up the good work John b😎

No worries Al, thanks for dropping by & your kind comment, much appreciated..........Andy

@@Andy-SharlstonEastgate 👋🚂🤗

Thanks Andy, I'm far from finished with the scenics but I've not had the time to progress, I try to mask the unfinished bits :) Hopefully I'll get time to sort a bit more soon. I did enjoy adding the extra sound effects to this one. Many thanks for watching my friend & all the best...Andy

Danke Eme ❤️

Cheers Mucker, yes, it's been a while. We'll have a meet up soon.

Hi Colin, hope you are well. Yes, I'm very fond of my Bachmann DMU collection, reminds me of back in the 80's riding on these on the Calder Valley Line & over to Leeds. I can't take credit for the weathering on the 101, a good friend of mine did this one for me. Many thanks for dropping in & your kind comment, Cheers........Andy

Many thanks Stuart, glad you enjoyed & thanks for your kind comment, ATB.......Andy

Thanks Dave, appreciate your comment, glad you enjoyed.

Merci Alain, Thank you for your kind comment.

Thanks Darrell, I'ts good to be running trains again.

Thanks for your comment Deano, much appreciated 👍

Thanks Digger, very kind of you, much appreciated.

Hi Johnny, unfortunately I didn't get round to completing this project. I still have the loco but a hundred other jobs have got in the way ! Thanks for your interest in the video......Andy

Thanks Al, the N&P and Wakefield Exhibitions are definitely worth a visit, they seem to get better every year. Top quality layouts and a great atmosphere. Thank you as always for your comment & support, take care my friend....Andy

@@Andy-SharlstonEastgate 🤗🚂👍👋🐣

Hi AHJ, many thanks for your comment, much appreciated. I kept "acquiring" 37's during 2023, way too many for my budget ! I've been sound chipping them one by one when funds allow. The beauty at the start is 37401 - Mary Queen Of Scots, I bought her from Alain at Loch Vath Trains, he posted it over from France. She sounds amazing !! It's about time I did some more work on the micro layout, Things seem to have got in the way of progress lately and my mojo need refreshing. All the best....Andy

@@Andy-SharlstonEastgate hi Andy, yeah we’ve all been there mate, mojos return, don’t you worry! You’ll be back in no time. It’s great progress!

HI mate, thanks once again for your kind comments. Yes, was a pleasure chatting with you both at Donny, I probably would have chatted for ages if my buddy hadn't of come to find me 😆 Don't know what the plan is for this year, it will be either GETS or Warley, no plans as of yet. This exhibition was a corker, some really nice layout on show. For me the smaller layouts impressed me the most, 'BSC Orgreave' was amazing as was 'The Warren'. Unfortunately the one layout I wanted to film (a steam layout called 'Halifax-Kings Cross' ) failed as somehow the led lighting played havoc with my camera and it was just a flickering mess when I came to view the footage at home. Yes, the whole video was filmed using the DJI OM4 SE gimbal, a great piece of kit, I can wholly recommend them for filming these exhibitions - makes my shaky hands camera work look half decent 😄 Once again, thanks for your comments and support my friend, take care.....Andy

@@Andy-SharlstonEastgate Thanks Andy got to get one of those gimbal. Hey shaky hands tell me about it.😄 Thanks again buddy. ....Pete....

Hi Pete, thank for dropping in pal. The little diorama in the video was a piece of my old layout, I still use it today as a test track. It was a challenge to film a vid with just 120cm to play with ! Thanks for the kind comments, much appreciated.....Andy

That is really kind Bernie, thank you very much. I'm watching your new build with interest, it's coming on great 👍......Andy

Hi Tony 👋 and many thanks for your comment. This canal project was great fun to do, I basically copied lots of ideas and tutorials from YT and went for it 😀 I suprised myself in how it turned out 😂 btw...your comment landed in my 'held for review' inbox for some reason, hence the late reply, no idea how that happened 🤔 all the best....Andy

Hey Andy, no problem. I also get comments in the held for review box and never can understand why as there never appears to be anything wrong with them. TH-cam and its mysterious ways eh?
