Great progress - and just wanted to hop on and say that I'm in the middle of my first visit to the UK from the States. Took a train up to Liverpool from London. During the trip up, I said "this looks familiar," and then "Wait, I KNOW that Tesco," and then finally I realized we were passing through the real Stafford. So well done, it was cool to see how well you've modeled the area in person!

I commented before, very briefly, but this is most impressive. Would love to see this one day. One of the best I have ever seen. Also used to go to Stafford a lot in the 80s, and it has not changed too much apart from the loss of the Signal boxes. Any plans to do a Queensville/Rickerscote section, where Stafford South splits to the TV and the Wolves/Brum line?

Hi Ben, looks great, lots of work packed into the month! Going to look great when its all finished! Cheers Gary

Nice layout, but i dont understand why you cut that bit of board off so you could marry up Stafford South Junction then laid new track and altered stuff to make it work, like that siding, when you could have kept all that pointwork that you removed and made it work a lot better without removing that piece of board and track... I know you would have had to have lost a couple of points.

Fantastic progress and result so far. 👍

Oh my goodness Ben, I know you said you were going to extend into the next room but wow it looks really swesome. How long will it be from the end of each bend to the other? Really loving what you are doing even though its a modern layout lol.

What can I say but WOW 👌🏻 awesome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Looking good, really coming together! You have a great space there to play with.

Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

That's a fair old run you have now. Plenty of room for those looooong container trains 😀

Hello there That looks great you’ve made some amazing progress. I cat wait to see how Lichfield T valley develops. Nat 🚂👍

Amazing ! 🎉🎉🎉 You're inspirational 🍾

Thst looks fantastic! Well done 👌

A lot of ahead, looking great and will be fantastic for running

You've made some nice progress. I think the station complex is the most impressive. The installed tracks and switches and how beautifully the trains drive over the switches are especially impressive.

Brilliant layout

Looks fantastic Ben, very impressive.

Hiya Ben , One word probably sums it up ....... AWESOME !!!!! 😀 Certainly looks more Prototypical ( I Know i should not use the P Word 🤣) I almost want to get my Camcorder out and do a spotting session on the platform . Really looking forward to seeing the Lichfield Section .

Hi Ben - great progress and what a set up you'll eventually have. Am i jealous - of course I am !😅 cheers Euan

Wow!!!! ……and there isn’t many layouts that make me say that!!!! Please come and say hello if you’re at the NEC in a couple of weeks Ben, it would be nice to meet you 👍

Brilliant 👍🏻

Love a modern layout and locomotives, it must of been one of the best I've seen to date, it can only get better and better.

looks fabulous. How did you get the dimensions for all your 3d printing which all look great. I have modelled/printed the relay boxes after having obtained some dimensions on line . I also scratch built my catenary masts but purchased the trusses from scale model scenery. You really have thought out the extensions. Really well done all round👍

Brilliant, I’m keen to see the new layout plan evolve 👍🏻

Good stuff 👍🏻

Wow, they are some strong expansion plans, the layout is already incredible, but to have the 2 current scenic sections alongside each other willl take it to the next level. Look forward to following your progress on this project. Thanks for sharing.

Just discovered your channel. What exquisite modelling and architectural accuracy. I'm really looking forward to Lichfield. Many thanks for sharing your skills.

Really looking forward to seeing the extension Ben. It’s going to look good seeing the trains get a proper run!

Evening Ben apologies for not commenting on your other recent videos but I would like to echo all the other comments you’ve had regarding the fantastic job you have done with this project it brilliant and I’m looking forward to seeing Lichfield come to life kind regards Duncan

Hi Ben, such amazing detail that you are able to capture nice work. I’m incredibly excited to see Lichfield Trent Valley in model form as I go there to do some train-spotting it’s such a great view and not too far away from me. Will you be trying to capture the super elevation that is on the curves going through the station? All the best, Nat 🚂👍

looks amazing Ben....are you going to be making and selling the OHLE out of curiosity?

amazing work Ben :)

Hi Ben Great work on the detailing it all adds to the very realistic scene you already have, the new project of Litchfield sounds good too. Thanks

Hey Ben love the Lichfield Trent Valley addition brings back lots of memories as I used to use that station when I was stationed at Whittington barracks back in the early 1972 where I did my military training as a soldier. Man Im old.

Wow, exciting stuff, With such long trains will you have enough storage for the trains and is there an opportunity for a lower deck?

Excellent modelling as always Ben. Love your commitment and dedication to this project and your attention to detail is second to none. Looking forward to seeing the Litchfield extension coming to life. Cheers, Jeremy.

What a plan! How big will the layout be once you add the new section?

Fantastic work, Ben. Congratulations! As a fellow N gauge modeller I can only marvel at what you have achieved in our scale. You are giving our OO cousins a run for their money! I look forward to the Lichfield extension. Exciting times ahead! Cheers, Karl

Looking forward to seeing the new additions.

Excellent and look forward to the new extended Lichfield. Are you including the Cross City line over the top? You could add a Colwich Junction!

Looking amazing Ben. Really love all the extra details you’re putting in. Will be great to see Stafford south junction next to the station and looking forward to seeing Lichfield develop. How long will the layout be?

Hi Ben - great bit of detailing work - so important as it brings any layout to life. Great running clips to boot. Looking forward to seeing the new extension take shape over the coming months. Cheers Euan

I like the way you put these scenic pieces on their own styrene sheet bases. Can I ask what thickness of plasticard you use please ?

When I started watching this update I wondered what you were going to do when its finished. I then thought mmmm perhaps time for an expansion maybe. I must have been inside your head LOL. Looking forward to the development.

Those OHLE gantries look spot on! I used N Brass light portals (Walsall had a lot of those) and included one to span 7 tracks ( I managed to solder 2 kits together). Your 3D printed bits are impressive! Excellent N-gauge modelling!

Fantastic layout
