    It's good to know that even your knowledgeable team are still learning. It gives our amateur friend modellers encouragement and drive. I'm still learning after 64 years of modelling. Thank you. Geoff. W.

      Some of the best observations come from complete beginners. As they say.. A fresh set of eyes....

    One can only imagine the situations that are created from having guest running sessions. I’d be a typical train spotter and just watch the trains go by and laugh at the issues created. Must be some great entertainment, Clint

      It is great fun. Making the railway resilient to guest operators is quite a challenge. However, the positive feedback from the visitors and the beaming smiles on their faces makes it worthwhile.

    As regards running the correct locos/stock for a given era Hattons now provide excellent era information sheets in colour. These have been researched extensively to be accurate.

      Thanks Pat, I wasn't aware of them. Can one find them on Hattons web site?

    This kind of evening looks a lot of fun to participate in. But you all lose points,the mugs that your using for your cups of tea are to small. The British Rail 50's white china mug would have been double that size. Also Following British Rail so closely I trust your all getting enough tea breaks? Bob Essery told me on his very 1st morning on the footplate the driver said to him " Son, we'll have a cup of tea before we take off." Just keep the videos coming. Cheers, Chris Perry.

    Hi, in addition to being
    interested in model railways, I have applied to do a Secondary History PGCE, at
    university, and I have been offered a virtual interview. In preparation, for
    this, I would like to practise answering possible interview questions/ going
    through a lesson plan/ discussing current issues in education/ why I want to
    come to train at this particular university. Basically this is how I can stand
    out when I have my interview. I would be very grateful if you could give me any
    help/ if I could practise answering these types of questions with you. I thought
    I might contact you, as having seen your layout, I am mindful that you have members
    of the team with different backgrounds, and experience. I apologise if this is
    not the appropriate forum for this. Many thanks, Alan Bevan.

    At 2.40 the group is debating on train wagons passing from one region to another. Are they talking about passenger wagons or freight wagons.
    Would you not see different freight wagons in different parts of the country or would the freight be offoaded at the point of exchange between railway companies onto the wagons belonging to the rail company area that the freight is entering. Or would freight loaded onto a wagon in Norwich stay on that same wagon all the way to Glasgow? Thanks

    • @dattouk

      In the era and country we are modelling, there was only one rail operator, British Railways. If you dispatched a fully loaded wagon from Norwich to Glasgow, the load and wagon would stay together for the journey. If the load was only part of a wagon then there would be a chance of it being transhipped to another wagon at an intermediate spot.

    Hi McKinley Railway,
    Do you have a Freightliner Terminal and if so do you have any footage of it,
    Regards Mick

    • @dattouk
      @dattouk  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Mick, We don't plan to add a Freightliner terminal because the layout would require two for reciprocal operation and the space required for each one is huge. We will have four different Freightliner scenic trains running to represent different eras. Regards David

      @@dattouk thanks for the reply, look forward to seeing them running, I have some from the 70s, I bought new Axles and Wheels from Alan Gibson Products and they run much better now,

    You lost me when you got to talking about tallying points. I know it's all 'horses for courses' but scoring teams in an operating session seems to me to have drifted pretty solidly into non-railroading territory. As one of your operators noted, lots of folks get a great deal of enjoyment running trains or running trains on time. I'll wager there are folks on your regular team that don't dig the scoring element but put up with it to maintain access to a pretty cool layout and talented group of people. Just my $0.02.
