Thanks Alex, you're right it is like that! Perhaps when I start getting more scenery down I'll have to do a video telling the story of the heritage railway through the years. Thanks for watching 😃
Love the eclectic stock and the Pecket running with two unrelated carriages. It so reminds me of a time in the 1970s and early 80s where such things were ‘de rigueur’ and no one really gave a monkey’s because they were just happy to see a working steam engine! 😎 That station will give you plenty of scope for operations and I am already happy to see a graceful Schools and an LNER J-class freight (J15? 🤔). The Pecket took me back to standing on Keighley platform 4 in about 1975 on a lovely crisp spring morning. We had just arrived after getting on at Oakworth where we then lived, and my dad took me up the front to explain how ‘Fred’ (A handsome wee Hunslet once resident) was going to be attached to the front of the train so we could go back up the line the other way. It suppose it really was my first ‘favourite’ engine, in a handsome blue livery, and I was so sad to learn they let Fred go 😕 On the brighter side, restoration is underway at Tysley so I hope one day to be able to visit to be reunited with Fred once more 👍 Cheers fella, really loving this wee series 👍🍻🍀
Thanks! Haha yes it really does give it the feel of a heritage railway doesn't it so hopefully that will continue as the scenery gradually gets completed. I dare say there will be room for a few more prototypical running sessions in the future too - just for a bit of variety! Thanks for sharing those memories of the KWVR and thanks for watching too 😃
Like that video a lot its getting that heritage railway atmosphere .like the mixture of tender engines & small locos. Look forward to more updates. Thank you.
Thanks Tom! Glad to hear that as I really do want to capture that heritage railway atmosphere as much as possible. Got lots of videos in the pipeline at the moment but I'm eager to do more work on this layout too! Thanks for watching 😃
Superb production as always. Loving the Heritage Railway feel already. I’m guessing you will eventually need some sad pieces of half-scrapped rescued carriages and locos sitting there with tarpaulins over them awaiting renovation as there always seems to be in every Heritage Railway siding!
Thanks Andrew, glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the two carriage sidings were added with exactly that in mind! I'd like to have an old rusty boiler sitting out in the yard by the sheds too as if there's an overhaul happening very slowly somewhere. Thanks for watching 😃
I'm very impressed with the landscaping of your embankments - really natural looking. The smooth running is also admirable - DCC, presumably. I'm rather envious... there are very definite advantages to working in OO Gauge, but I'm limited to N Gauge in view of available space.
Thank you, I'm quite pleased with how they came out too considering it's my first attempt at proper scenery. In this video the layout is running on DCC but it runs just as smoothly on DC too. Yes I imagine there is a big space advantage to using N Gauge, although I have a lack of space myself which is why I decided to build a modular railway so that it can all be packed away at the end of the day. Thanks for watching 😃
Thanks, I agree the trains speak for themselves! Glad you enjoyed the music too, it's just something fun I wrote a while back that I've used in a few of my videos now. Thanks for watching 😃
Obviously still much to be done but already it does give the impression of a preservation railway. Neat stock of various ages and eras working together while some areas are still being made ready fir the public.
Thanks James, yes I can already see it starting to take shape in my mind and eventually I'd still like it to look a little bit "unfinished" even when it is finished... if that makes sense 😂 Thanks for watching 👍
@@mrswany2008 It's a Roco Z21 which I'm really enjoying using so far, especially as a newcomer to DCC. I imagine I'll make a video on it sometime soon along with why I decided to switch to DCC 😃
It certainly is an impressive little engine and it's nice to see it on a larger layout after all that time it's spent on my micro layout. Fingers crossed the 88DS from Hornby is just as good! Thanks for watching 😃
Thanks, glad you like it so much! I agree it's nice to have some larger locos on the channel for once but there will always be room for the small industrials too. Thanks for watching 😃
Excellent video. I know how much work goes into these; set up, filming, editing, music, text, upload, titles, description, tags and end cards. All in all a great effort. Well done
Thanks Charlie. Yes it is a lot of work but it's definitely worth it to see how enthusiastic everyone is to see the layout when I upload a new video. Thanks for watching 😃
Thanks, I'm pretty pleased with the scenery too considering it's my first time ever doing anything like this. Didn't use any 3D prints though so not sure where you got that from 😁
Thanks David! To be honest I just grabbed a selection of locos and rolling stock and just ran some trains so I glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 😃
Nice running session, modules looking really good. Grats on 2k subs too, awesome achievement. On your next live stream, make sure you add some moderators, people you trust/know as your watchers will grow every time and you'll need people to keep an eye on chat and not let your live stream get spammed, also they can add links to channels or companies you mention. All the best. Brian @ The Angels
Thanks Brian, yes I'm quite surprised on how quickly the channel has reached 2k subs too! Don't worry, I have been looking into mods for the streams although I have to say that everyone has been quite well behaved so far... though I've probably jinxed it now! 😂 Thanks for watching 👍
So good to see you having fun playing trains at last. You work so hard on your construction videos. Just one thing I may have missed (?)...is there a video which includes how you have hinged the fiddle yard? It's just that I am not agile enough for a "duck under" and I'm going to have to make a hinged lift up section to access the centre space within my runaround the loft walls layout. Please just point me to any video material you have already. If none, please can you include this subject in a future video. Many thanks. Keep safe and well.....
Thanks John, it is nice to be able to run things on the new layout finally. You know what I don't think I ever have shown how the fiddle yard hinges so I'll be sure to include that in a future video. I'm afraid that it only folds up for storage though, as when it is setup with the rest of the layout it's bolted to the modules on either side. But like I say, I'll show this in the next update if I can. Thanks for watching 😃
Thanks! I'm really looking forward to doing more running sessions on this layout in the future too. I've got lots of ideas but there's a long way to go with the scenery yet. Thanks for watching 😃
Thanks Steve! This was the first time the whole layout was setup together so in some ways I'm shocked that it all works and the baseboard joints are so smooth! 😂 Thanks for watching 👍
That was great. The layout is coming alone nicely. This is just a suggestion, but the track you kept the diesel and 0-4-0 on. Turn it towards the back of the layout and see if you can fit a turn table.
Thanks Matthew! I think I did experiment with having a turntable there when I was designing the layout and although a small one did fit it was still too big to look realistic sadly. The plan is to have an inspection pit there instead though which is why that siding is still a bit unfinished. Thanks for watching 😃
I could watch it these trains for hours 😂 Love it! I was wondering how will you make the scenery in the area before the station wee see here, those two "barriers" look close to the rails.. will there be a bridge? That would be really nice!
Thanks Matthew! So I think the two barriers you're referring to are the endplates that I use to hide the baseboard joints. In this case they're marking the height and width of the platforms so I know where to put them on each board - that's why they're so close to the rails. Yes there will be a footbridge, though probably at the headshunt end just so the scene doesn't get too crowded. Thanks for watching 😃
Thanks Adrian, it is a lovely model and I've been desperate to have somewhere to run it for a while. I've just started using the Roco Z21 - I'm not very good at understanding all the DCC stuff but it's so simple to setup and use that I'm really enjoying using it. Because I can control trains from my phone too it means I can monitor the camera more easily too which is a big plus! Thanks for watching 😃
They do have a certain charm don't they - though I was surprised the Ratio kit I build ages ago doesn't look totally out of place next to the Hornby one! I'm hoping to get some of the Hatton's coaches when they come out so I can compare them but I'm sure going forward I'll have a hard time resisting all the different colourful liveries 😂 Thanks for watching 👍
Looking good! It's like watching the story of a heritage railway, through expansion, acquiring more stock, rebuilding stations etc.
Thanks Alex, you're right it is like that! Perhaps when I start getting more scenery down I'll have to do a video telling the story of the heritage railway through the years. Thanks for watching 😃

Some great slow running there , particularly with the Ruston
Yeah, it is a fabulous runner at slow speeds considering how small it is! Thanks for watching 😃
Great use of coloured stock and locos...
Thanks David! To be honest I just grabbed a selection of locos and rolling stock and just ran some trains so I glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 😃
