Compared to other railways I use to model, British ones have something more you just show here : a plethora of small tender engines. For the same kind of duties you have shown us today, the Italian FS would have sent two 2-8-2 tank Gr. 941, or a Gr.835 0-6-0 tank only for the freight, and the Germans would have use a BR74 2-6-2 tank for the passenger train, and a 2-8-2 tank BR 86 for the freight. Here, with two of the small kettles I like the much, the delightfully old fashionned J15, and the Moguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullll standard 2MT, you steal the show gentleman. Thanks a lot !
Bonjour Lewis, Most enjoyable and inspiring as usual ! Nice shunting work and I love the engines in your scenario. I have several J15's and they are some of Hornby's best. The 2MT is on my wish list and happily I found a model shop in Germany selling British locomotives for reasonable prices. The UK direct import since Brexit made it to expensive on taxes and shipping cost's to France. Have a nice and peaceful holiday season with your family ! Cheers, Filip
Another lovely video Lewis - thanks. It's good to see your Hornby Gresley and Thompson non corridor coaches running - I've some of each, both types are excellent but the intricacy and detail of the Gresley examples makes them my firm favourites. Merry Christmas!
I get consumed by just how realistic it all looks, brilliantly created rural feel that takes me back to the real thing in the 50’s and 60’s ! Oh the train is pretty good too! So well done, thanks for sharing! Cheers
Hi Lewis I've said it before and I say it again I love the shunting video's you make and it was nice to see a couple of small engines working the yard and hauling. Great vide again Lewis thank you.
Please excuse my expletives kind sir - but this whole scenario is just "bloody fabulous"... the true sound effects, lighting, scenery etc... Oh and yes the headlamps were spot on.😉👌👍
@MouldyRaspberry An absolute pleasure... I just wish I could shrink and to join in. In my BR days, we had 4 of the BR 78xxx at Trafford Park and around 10 of the LMS Ivatts at Newton Heath. All cracking little engines they were.
Good show, Lewis! Yorkshire Dales must earn its keep by moving goods as well as people! May you and your followers have a wonderful holiday season, however you celebrate it!
@ good man, next year will be my 10th anniversary since I joined the scouting community in one way or another when we went to Switzerland last year our campsite was right next to a train line and you would often see locomotives from the 1950s and 60s still pulling trains past, best trips of my life although we did do 32 hours of hiking in the space of five days in 2027 we’re planning to go to Georgia and they still use Soviet era trains there so I’m quite excited to see that
Hi Lewis, mmm just wonderful, as always. It's really a pleasure to see a nice layout. I like how you shunt the goods train to get the picked up wagons to the rear along with the guards van. I that a move you have seen done in real life or just the way you think it would be done..............I don't know either way, just curious. Guess you could leave the brake van and the picked up wagons in the loop then move the train into the loop. Anyway, good stuff, all the best Dave.
Thanks Dave. I’ve seen a few videos of archive footage and descriptions in magazines or on forums, but it seems to be whatever required the least number of moves 🤣 so I’m not 100% sure
I wonder… could you use your influence to bring a BR Standard 3MT Mogul to your railway, and to mine for that matter: a really useful loco on secondary and cross-country routes🤔. I’ve had a word or two with Margate but no joy yet.
I can try! That’s something I’d like to see Accurascale have a go at producing, given their reputation for detail and all the outside pipework and value gear on the prototype. In terms of steam they’ve tended to stick to small industrial tank engines or more simple GWR locos so far… but I think a BR standard would be a great choice for them.
@ I wish you every success. The front runner would be 77014 which came to the Southern towards the end of steam and hauled the very last steam train on the Southern, a van train I think. They are like starlings, almost beautiful but really a bit gawky. The BR Standard 2a tenders already exist in model form. I wouldn’t want Bachman to take them on as they don’t model the firebox foundation ring flush with the frames. Instead there’s a lumpy overhang on their rendition of the Standard 5s and both classes of Standard 4s. I’ll write to Accurascale too. Let’s hope others see this and do likewise. Hornby just weren’t interested, preferring the Standard 2 Moguls instead (fine locos nevertheless).
I see you are using instofrog points a question I need to ask is are they reliable as I currently have electro frog points but I'm having trouble with the point motors working with the frog so I'm thinking about changing to instofrog thanck you very much
Thr shunting scene was so entertaining.
As always, a special way of presenting with realism. Jersey Bill
Thanks Bill!
A great video Lewis , with fantastic goods movements ,telling a story of a working branch line . Very enjoyable to relax to .😊
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
Nicely measured piece of shunting Lewis! It's almost as if someone planned it. Lovely locos. Cheers
Thanks mate 😀

Thanks Filip. You as well! Well I’d certainly recommend the 2MT. Don’t get me started on Brexit - what a load of BS!
Always a joy to spare time revelling in your marvellous videos. Happy Christmas.
Thank you! Same to you.

They're a clever bunch of blokes you've got in that shunting team up there in Yorkshire!
They are 😀

Thanks very much Nigel 😁
Very surprising how You did the shunting! The railway Pros would be very pleased. Thank You for another great video!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Lewis, happy Christmas.David. Oh we caught Blue Peter the other week, that it so shiny it doesn’t look as real as your locos.🙂

Thanks Tony 😀
nice bit of shunting
Thanks 👍🏻

Thank you, really appreciate it! Glad I got them right for once 🤣😉

Wonderful as always. I love seeing that J15 running around, and the new 2MT looks nice
Thanks 😀
Christmas greetings Lewis another fine piece of model railway mastery 👌😎☕️🎅🏻🎄 Fred
Thanks Fred, Merry Christmas to you as well!
Lovely video, on a fantastic layout. Excellent content, thank you!

Thank you, you as well! 👍🏻
Great video on this fantastic layout
Thanks 👍🏻
I’m watching this in my scout hall right now 😂
Nice, I was a scout back in the day as well 👍🏻

Love it!!
Thanks!
It still sounds amazing when it's at ×2 speed
Thanks 😀
great vid
Thanks 👍🏻
And there was me wondering how you would solve the riddle of the brake van. I should of known better.
Ha thanks 😬

78047 is a very beautiful locomotive. What class is it. Thank you for another great video.
BR Standard 2MT. Three of the locos are still operational in preservation: two on the Great Central Railway and one on the Keighley & Worth Valley.
Yes a British Railways standard class 2MT 😀
@@dominicbuckley8309 I thought I recognise it.
Work horses of the railway
Yes absolutely 😀
I see you are using instofrog points a question I need to ask is are they reliable as I currently have electro frog points but I'm having trouble with the point motors working with the frog so I'm thinking about changing to instofrog thanck you very much
Yes I’ve never had any issues myself. I have around 30 locos and all can move of the points at a crawl with no issues 👍🏻
@@MouldyRaspberryCool thanck you for getting back to me love the videos as well 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃
This is a rather old train compared to what we usually see 😍😍😍
True, much shorter trains!
