The clag will be good to see. I hope that the Deltics have the right amount haha. I dread to think how much you've spent up to date

Just bloody brilliant. My favourite too 😀 not the largest layout Simon but it has atmosphere and that’s more important. Bob.

Another excellent video. It's great to watch a down to earth, level headed owner of a large train set as opposed to certain others who own allegedly 'the largest' one but who are primarily doing it so they can put a logo on their videos and for their own self aggrandisement. Keep up the good work, see you on the road in 18 months time!

Simon, with regard to applying static grass, having watched a demo at the last show I went to, it appears that it's not actually necessary to attach or touch the lead of the applicator to the layout. It's only necessary to hold it nearby. Makes sense really, as baseboards aren't conductive. Maybe give it a try and see what you think.

When can we see it? And where? Wakefield again would be great.

No wonder i can find any of these coal wagons. Do you really need that many

And I thought the Graham Farish Power station was big

Are you going to go for oil based smoke effect (seuthe type) or the TRS water vapour ones ? I'm curious on those water ones as when I've used seuthe oil types before the layer of oil left everywhere was a right pain ! Layouts coming along great, can't wait to see it 👍

Totally inspiring in terms of your skills, commitment and the scale of the project! 😎💖

Awesome road effects 😊. Love it 👍

Made me laugh you commenting on the price of DAS clay whilst stood next to 300 O gauge wagons 😂 Great to see the attention to detail going in despite the large size. :)

outstanding

Totally amazing

Absolutely brilliant - this is by far my most favourite layout. Love the smoking effects on the Class 37s👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Amazing stuff. Can I ask if your still going ahead with the idea of Healy Mills depot. Where you can also have a model of yourself sat down at the side of the water tank, Doing a bit of spotting.

Thanks Simon. Great video on weathering, so easy. Thanks again. Mike HO from Australia.

this has helped me no end thank you great demo on scenery brilliant

Inspirational, and thanks for the tips. Just subscribed. I guess those cooling towers will have a huge diameter as well. Perhaps the bottom half could be modelled in the basement with the top section added for the tours?

Subscribed ! Brilliant !

Valley-Jo??😂😂

Hi Simon, I recently watched, again, the Hornby Model World episode whereby you finished the 3DP model of yourself on the fencing. I admire your love and dedication towards the area and line. I have to admit I didn't think it was possible to have such a large layout without compromising on the details and being worse for it (less being more) you clearly haven't compromised on the detail and I'm delighted to be proven wrong too👍✌️💜😀 300 HAA's?! Wow! That must have been a huge chunk of Dapol's stock/output, I hope that they gave you a good discount 🙏🤞😉 I can imagine it takes a lot of will power to keep going, especially working alone, those train rakes are inspirational though👍 Love the idea of diesel clag and until the advent of Hornby's new mobile vaporiser system, the O gauge diesel smoke was the most accurate. Hornby's system is more to scale and less messy though, no residue on the models. I wonder if they would licence or sell such as individual units or if they're keeping them secret a little longer? I see that Giles Favell has also done a nice job of 'steam' on his latest 16mm models too. Water, sound and smoke are often hard to scale, water and sound both being waves of course. Your progress with modelling is remarkable, puts my efforts to shame, I suspect you'd complete a small layout like mine in a week😀👍💜 BTW talc is often used to flatten or matt down gloss paint too. HLJ is really growing on me, you must be pleased with what you have achieved, especially modelling two eras - brave move✌️👍

Absolutely fabulous

How will they layout it self earn money. I assume tours only. Will it permanently have a fixed home. Great work. ❤❤

Very interesting Simon. Love the speed weathering, very effective.!

Thanks again Simon another great video Quick question where did you get the 75 ton brake down crane shown in the video Once again great videos can’t wait for the next one

Hi 👋🏻 Simon what another cracking video on a fantastic O gauge layout with superb tips included 😊

Hi Simon, thank you very much for this video, very interesting and thank you for the tips, 🎉🎉

looks great

Wow what difference in realism having passengers in coaches… plus the sound effects! I miss the “clickety Clack” of the old lines.. trains today maybe smoother but have no character

What is that noise in the background? Sounds like a hairdryer running constantly?

Another 5 or 6....oh boy! With that and doing the Healey Mills depot, that should keep me out of mischief for some time then!

Superb, all a bit different to when I was a kid. :-)

The new station building is truly superb. And thanks for the static grass demo.

Stunning station and great layout best wishes Chris

Richard is a great modeller.

Hello, what length static grass did you use

Very helpful demonstration of static grass laying, thank you

Excellent grass technique Simon 👍 Applicable to and scale.

Once again Simon Thanks very much for the latest video Fantastic modelling the station building is excellent Keep going

Great informative video, thanks for sharing that stone trick. Jersey Bill

Another smashing, thought provoking and informative video✌️👍😊💜

Brilliant video really like the trick with the pebbles what a difference they make. As for the station well it's just marvellous

Hi 👋🏻 Simon. Thanks for the update on this awesome model railway 👍🏻 The model of Dewsbury station is a masterpiece 🤩

Loving the Dewsbury model Simon. I walked through there every day on the way home from school. The stonework is perfect!

damn you should use some of you money to hire someone who can record and edit videos!

Haha yes you’d be maintaining it all the time!

Oh, yes, I remember them well. Never did get a chance to travel in them, but I did get myself one of the models. Dear only knows what happened to that. Lost in the mysteries of yesteryear.

If I had this, I'd never need to go out.

It will look much better when you add some signals before the junctions to protect routes and stop movement conflicts. Remember, it's not the driver (or whoever is holding the controller) in charge, they just do what the signaller permits them to. The signaller is the one in charge of any raolway operations.

Saw your brilliant layout at Shepton Mallet. Was looking forward to the extended version doing the rounds but have lost interest with the change of era
