Some nice layouts there.

Carlton Vale Underground layout!!!!! Wonderful to see this collection of UK railroads. Hard to believe they are all portable. Thanks for this video Steve!

Thanks for posting so quickly. Only 6pm on show day and seen it already LOL!

Good to see you keeping well Steve, still on the circuit and keeping up with your channel. Thanks again from dropping by. Regarding the NMRA BR show, it looks like Mech Models has been confirmed and a few other traders like Anglo American and Neals (no not me lol) N Gauge. Even the Saturday promises to be pretty decent so hopefully you won't be disappointed. Regarding layouts there will obviously be the FreeMo contribution, dad's (Sqauw Falls), as well as Thamesiders' end to end switching layout. I am personally looking forward to seeing the Barge Job; Benoit has been sharing his progress on the NMRA discord and it looks lovely.

Great video Steve, ive also had the NCE for about 2 years and I still haven't opened the instructions manual I'd rather see the demo videos like yours. Many thanks 👍😊

Projects coming on nicely Steve.

Nice modification on the MU cable, Steve.

Great Camera work B.R. and also Modeling work, I'm surprised not to see any coupler lift-bar brackets that mount to the pilot. The brackets would have little eyelet holes allowing the lift-bar to swivel. As far as the hoses you fitted, you could always with some care heat them so they would relax and droop threw the plow's access holes. Love watching those Class 66's pulling some long freight, the're Beasts! Cheers!😊

And of course the drill bit would break while on camera! You recovered nicely however. Did you use standard CA or CA-gel for the lift rings?

Acquiring all the needed detail parts is quite an achievement in itself. Can’t wait to see this project unfold!

Well done!

Great stuff. Good seeing the 66s in action at the start too.

Great vid

Nice 😍

Hey up, looking very good, where did you get the MU Hoses/Coupler Bar because thinking of doing this myself on my loco project soon 😀 Hope you are well, Kind regards Tom

We haven't been there for a long time, we must make another visit.

Excellent stuff. I ended up bulk buying 0.3 bits from Amazon as I started with a rather high attrition rate until I'd got my technique sorted 😂. What brand of lift rings did you use? They look nice - it's those little details that really lift a model (pun not intended).

Well done, Steve.

What’s the saying? “In true blue Peter fashion, here’s one I prepared earlier.” I think that’s it? So fiddly. I’m definitely making sure to model a railroad in an area that doesn’t have ditch lights yet lol.

Grab irons? Sure. Those other ring things? Definitely not worried about them. I’m venturing into HO from N scale though, and it’s nice to largely not have to worry about it for N.

Thanks for sharing, this was great to watch. A question I have is about the little white forklift in your lumber scene. Did that come already built or was it a kit? If so, was it difficult to build?

If only a bluenami decoder didn’t cost a arm and a leg 😅

Lovely❤

Very interesting video, Steve! I am helping my mate with his model railway, which uses the NCE Powercab system - which I have to say, I find a little intimidating! With a tablet and Bluetooth decoder-fitted loco , it really opens options up. DCC is still a dark art for us both. I don’t have a layout myself, but have more locos in my fleet than my mate, which amuses me no end! Keep up the good work, Sir! Best wishes from Wirral.

You have a like and a new subscriber! I will be working my way through your back catalogue of videos. “If it looks right - it is right” is my modelling mantra. I’m not a rivet-counter but things have to look “right”, which perhaps puts me in the same mindset as you. I model UK practice, but I have an interest in US railroads. Looking forward to seeing how this loco progresses! Best wishes from Wirral.

Congratulations as Always Steve! Keep up the good work!

Your energy is what keeps me coming back! stay tuned my friend :) 22

Good afternoon, I am sure you have watched it but certainly worth it "New York & Atlantic freight action. 2019-2024". Interesting that the locos show red lights to the rear even when coupled to a train.

Good start to the project, looking forward to seeing your progress. And thanks for the shout out about the MR article.......I've made the big time!

I'm looking forward to this series. It's amazing what a difference the little details make.

If your planning in fitting sound I have a block off a Atlas GP38-2. The one underneath the fans. It's cut down so a speaker can be fitted. If you want it PM or email your address and I'll send it to you.

I like the variety of your channel, so I would be in favor of keeping as it is. Congratulations on hitting 1,000 subscribers!

Well done, Steve. Nice update, and we're looking forward to seeing your progress with the loco....cheers James and Dylan 🙂👍

Congratulations on your 1000 Subscribers it one hell of milestone to make. Hope to join you soon.

Congratulations on your milestone. I continue to enjoy and get inspiration from your videos. I have an Atlas Trainman GP39-2 and it's one of my best runners so I look forward to your upgrade project. FWIW, Model Railroader magazine had an article about a basic upgrade to the Trainman GP38-2 in the September 2021 issue. Enjoy your vacation!

Hi Steve, that is my favourite CSX livery. Looking forward to you detailing it, because I have a very old Tyco (red box era) GP 20 in NYC black. It still runs fine and has a dummy to go with it so the detailing for both of these should be similar to your GP38. As far as the question you asked, I would keep everything on the same channel, however if all your present subscribers sign up for the new channel as well, that that might be an advantage for you. Locos are always the stars on a layout but I would be really interested in seeing more about your boxcars, hoppers, tankers etc. What was the rational behind what you have chosen? I like collecting unusual road names if I can find them. Congratulations again on 1000+ subscribers.

As a fellow big fan of Geeps I will look forward to watching your progress with this model. P.S congratulations on the 1k

Well done Steve, testament to an I teresting and varied channel. Here's to the next 1000!

Nice update, Steve. Where can I find the poll?

🥳. _🚂_1к. Сопgratulations‼️

Congratulations on 1K Subscribers.

lovely set of closing gates those! great video as always Steve

The gates are looking, dare I say, much better 😃 That slight timing variation is spot on, and would probably be hard to achieve by design.

Oh yes, the gates look quite realistic! Great job. Who makes the actual gates and signals you used?
