I agree there, although not anyone's fault for any of the delays of course. The broken rail at Stalybridge looked bad, not to mention the weather and flooding! Bet it was nice and toasty on Mayflower's footplate!

Hmm, you might be right there! Some free Champagne on board instead maybe!

Thanks Henry, appreciate it! 😊

@@highbrookendmodelrailway You're welcome! I saw her at York.

@@HenrysAdventures You know I've been to York many times but never to spot anything, I must make a trip of it sometime, especially with all the tours around this time of year. :)

Hi Christopher, this was at Normanton :)

Hi Graham, if you're ok doing this I'm happy to help over email? It will be easier if we need to send diagrams or anything, etc. My email is modelrailwayreviewyt@gmail.com Happy to help and I'll see if I can be of any assistance!

Thanks for your comment, I'm actually very happy with what you've said and I am going to take it as a massive compliment. This was a video essay purely for the enjoyment and fun of making it, not for any school or education project. It's as simple as I really enjoy the advert, enjoy producing and writing for TH-cam, and wanted to share my opinions on it. Keep an eye out because I'll be analysing another advert very shortly. ;) Thank you!

Thanks Alan for the suggestion! I've got some better solder since then, although it wasn't bad stuff, it was lead-frer. I've now got some proper 60/40 tin lead stuff and I find it a lot better. Probably didn't help as I was soldering upside down and onto rubbish tinned aluminium Chinese wires! Thanks for watching :)

Thanks mate! :)

Glad you enjoyed it Pete! :)

Small and green, I'll give you that!

I'd get a Northern one if I had the funds!

@@highbrookendmodelrailway I think they make one as well 😂

All of the ballasting is done on the layout apart from that little section, and I'd quite like it to match, plus I can buy it in small quantities (as little as 50g) so it's ideal for just patching up small sections. I will definitely keep it in mind if I need some scenic aggregate for any of the sidings though, thank you!

I have tried it before when I re-ballasted some sections I did poorly the first time round, it worked but wasn't too effective (maybe my glue is too strong!) This area is right where two baseboards join, thus there is a slight gap and I didn't want to risk everything getting soaked. For larger areas this might be good idea. :)

Thankfully this didn't take me too long, maybe around 2hrs 30mins and that was with filming and setting up shots / re-recording explanations that I messed up! Odd that it's not isolating, not had that problem myself yet. Maybe a metal fragment in the mechanism?

Thank you! Absolutely, I should've realised sooner how much of a pain it was going to be and installed the motors right from the start!

Thanks mate, yes they are lovely things, got a bit of a better view this time!

Nice, haven't seen this in a while, it is a lovely livery so would definitely like to see it again sometime!

Thank you so much! It's not too bad I suppose, as long as I know what everything does!

Thanks for watching, no problem!

Wow! They are really lovely to work on :)

Rather amusingly I actually haven't done that much, but hoping to change that very soon! :) I am running on DC only so although one of the lights will be at danger I can only run one train on any two given lines when crossing between them - as otherwise there would be a bit of a crash!

It did look incomplete, thanks for the info! Thanks for watching :)

Hi, from the base to the top of the signal, it's about 6.4cm / 2.5in, here's the listing on eBay if you are interested: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373737324347?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=THJ_7RrqTam&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=_nabt7q6swe&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY (Not sponsored, just happy with the product!) :)

Thank you! It's taken about 2 years I think to get it to this point, although I've not been able to work on it consistently for any of that period of time. Hoping to get a whole load of scenery done and some big progress made soon! That's great - good luck! 👍

@@highbrookendmodelrailway Thanks appreciate it 🚆.

No problem, feel free to ask something anytime, I'll try my best to answer! :)

Thanks, I'll take a look! :)

I run on DC but it will run on either DC or DCC, it's just driven with a rubber belt from one of the flywheels on the motor. :)

@@highbrookendmodelrailway Ok the fan on mine does not work on DC for some reason have not tried it on DCC yet

Apologies, I've just remembered that the new 31s (and 56s) don't come fitted with the fan unit as standard. The old "Super Detail" models did but the fan unit was something I bought and added as an extra for this model. Part of the frame for the fan assembly will be there but some of the pulleys will be missing. If it's a relatively new Class 31 then it won't have the pulleys and equipment fitted to make the fan turn.

Oh my god 🤣I've disabled that feature now! Normally I set location to "United Kingdom" for the only reason that people know I'm running on 240v 50Hz when I waffle on about electronics!😆

No problem mate, thanks for coming in when you could! Merry Christmas!🎄❄☃🎁🎅

Thank you Al! 👍

Hi Peter, thank you so much! It's currently on eBay so you are more than welcome to make an offer or bid for it if you'd like to. Here's a link to the listing: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225919471961?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=_nabt7q6swe&sssrc=2524149&ssuid=_nabt7q6swe&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Thank you!

No PG Tips!

Thanks Jayden, yeah they're really nice locos actually, this one seems to be running well so far. Had it going round the layout for a bit yesterday and all seems good. Not bad for free (once I've sold the 08!)

Not many subscribers to go........... about 30 till that happens!

Can't wait! @@highbrookendmodelrailway
