Goods yard looking great Julian, sorry to hear you have been unwell hope all good now. Enjoy your trip to the UK looking forward to your updates regards Barry..
Hi Julian, the goods yard looks better and better with each update. Enjoy your trip to the UK, and to Get’s. Unfortunately I will be in Canada on other important matters so won’t be attending Get’s. It’s a fabulous exhibition and your sure to meet lots of followers of station road. Safe travels.
Hi Jules, Great to see how good that whole area has come along, and so good to see it with traffic 😎 The gates definitely need some work as you say, but they still look good. Maybe pretend they have only jut been installed? That’d be an interesting cameo 😄 The coal truck and weighing scales really have made a difference to the coal yard which looks evermore convincing 🤔 Interesting you saying about Milton Keynes. I am planning to go myself so hopefully we can bump into one another there! Believe me, the Making Tracks exhibit will be worth it alone! 😎 Saw N°3 at Chester last month and it was even better than N°2 which I thought would be impossible! 🤷🏻♂️ Also, ifyou and Paul fancy a quick tip over the river, we are in Leigh on Sea in Essex. Very nice place to pass an afternoon by the Thames Estuary! 😉🥃🥂🥗🥘🥟🍺😋 Either way, hope to see you nd in any case, hope it’s a great trip 🍻👍🍀
You should try to visit Pendon and some exhibitions in the UK. I went to York, Bristol and the Spring EM Expo this year, try to find the bigger exhibitions during your visit, the quality of layouts is amazing (especially at the EM shows). I was also lucky enough to meet the right people and see some wonderful private layouts. And I had morning tea with Gordon Gravett (sorry about the name dropping - not). Mark in Melbourne
Great video again Julian, coal yard is looking great. Have just come back from a trip to Italy, Portugal and London (didnt time it well with the Milton Keynes event lol). Took at trip on the Eurostar from London across to Lille in France - great experience, and used the trip in Portugal which was good. Visited Janes Trains in Tooting, London - a great model railway shop, very helpful and keen to assist - needless to say they have packaged up a decent parcel of "goodies" which I purchased, and its on its way to me in Perth, WA!! Have a great trip!
Hi Julian. Sounds like a great trip. I don’t know if in your travels you’ll cross paths with Charlie Bishop (Chadwick Model Railway), but if you do, please say G’day for me. I maintain an index of his videos, so he’ll know who you’re talking about. Enjoy the trip.
If you happen to be in London the Saturday after gets, there is the Beckenham model railway exhibition in forest hill (southeast London). Enjoy your visit.
As you'll be in Kent, see if you can get chance to visit our Kent and East Sussex Railway! Although I'm sure time is precious and you'll get a million comments like this! Enjoy your visit!
Lovely to hear from you again Julius, make the most of your well deserved "selfish" trip to the UK. Wish I could carry your bags. PS, LOVE the work on the goods shed environs.
Safe Travels Julian. Sound like you'll have a great time. I was talking to my folks about the Railways in Yorkshire. Mum told me that if coal lumps were too large for the engines the Firemen would toss them into a particular pile by each station and the housewives would come along with their wheel barrows and spades and break them up and take the home to heat their homes or cook with. A community gesture maybe. An interesting piece of useless information. 👍 Anyway, the layout is looking great. Interested to see how you weather your Peco phone boxes as I have 2 to do myself. Have a great trip. Stay safe and happy modelling. Mon
Hi Julian, Glad you have recovered. The goods yard is looking fantastic. Have a great visit to the UK. I guess you'll be stocking up on a few bits and pieces luggage allowance dependent of course.
Hi Julian, fantastic video as always. It's amazing to see what you have done with that area and how well it has come together. GETS....I have to ask, what day/s are you planning on attending, I would absolutely love to bump into you but I am going on the Sunday due to parking and transport issues for me on the Saturday. Either way I hope you have a fabulous few weeks over here and that the weather holds out for you! :)
Great quick update sorry to hear you have been ill but sounds like you have recovered as I said in my comment in your last update I am in Yorkshire so if you do have an itinerary for visiting York or Pickering I would love to see you there.
We will be there on the Sunday. will look out for you. Enjoy your trip to G.E. T.S. check out the West somerset railway and if its running the Jacobite inScotland
Sounds like you're going to have a great trip. Try to cram as many visits to heritage railways as you can. it would be such a missed opportunity not to. Hopefully, you'll share some of your experiences with us. Cheers!
Good to hear you have recovered from your illness. Very glad it wasn’t COVID, as that seems to be rearing it’s ugly head again! I was in two minds about GETS this year as I’ve been the last 2 but am rethinking this now. Have a safe journey and I know you’ll just love the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Thanks for sharing. Roy.
Is there enough space between the coal bins and the track to drop the side doors of the coal wagons? If not then you might want to distress the top rail of each bin.

When you come to York there’s a lovely model shop here. Monk Bar Models. Went on the NYMR a couple of weeks ago. Had an enjoyable day.
Hope you have a great trip to England Julian! Rgds, Joachim

Love the coal yard scene, and the lane, really looking good. I'll be at GETS on Sat, so maybe bump into you then. Cheers!

Good morning Julian glad you are feeling better. I am going to the same show so hope to meet you there.
Awesome. We went to the UK at the same time last year Julian - have a great trip mate!
If you happen to be in London the Saturday after gets, there is the Beckenham model railway exhibition in forest hill (southeast London). Enjoy your visit.
Looks really great. A little too clean and tidy at the moment but noting that a little weathering and added weeds won’t improve.
As you'll be in Kent, see if you can get chance to visit our Kent and East Sussex Railway! Although I'm sure time is precious and you'll get a million comments like this! Enjoy your visit!
Hi Julian Nice little update, it seems like half the world are going to GETS this year! If I manage to go, hopefully might be able to meet you. Thanks
Great news! I'm set to attend GETS so hopefully if all goes well, I'll run in to you there!
Enjoy your trip mate. NRM is very good and I was sorry that I did not have enough time to appriciate it all because of time constraints. Arthur
Hi Julian. Good luck with your trip to the UK and hope you have a great time. I'm gutted that it coincides with my trip to China!

Lovely to hear from you again Julius, make the most of your well deserved "selfish" trip to the UK. Wish I could carry your bags. PS, LOVE the work on the goods shed environs.
If you are in London, Janes Trains in Tooting is worth a visit, have a great time in the UK
Or Invicta Model Rail in Sidcup just to the southeast of London, 1min walk from the train station.
Safe Travels Julian.

Hope to meet you at GETS Julian. Sounds like you have a great trip planned for the selfish three weeks!😉
Trip to the UK fantastic, I would do the same if I could, enjoy. Do you have Peco Rama in your planned holiday?
Is there enough space between the coal bins and the track to drop the side doors of the coal wagons? If not then you might want to distress the top rail of each bin.
See you at GETS Julian..Don`t forget your Camera.
