Another entertaining video lads and the progress you’ve made is impressive - you’ve got this far in under 6 months! By the way I used 3mm white backed MDF as a base for my curved corners, which also looked ok until such a time that I could fit the Backscenes over the top. No to cheese and onion though. Salt n vinegar all the way.
Nice update👍 Lovin’ the goose fat! 🤣 moment... There’s lots of work to be done to complete that cracking layout plan😳so I won’t waste anymore of your time reading this! (Presuming you do read this) Cheers, looking forward to seeing more👀👀👀 John b😷
You know, boys. I wish more modellers were more laid back and into the banter like you are... So many dusty old men being so damn serious all the time... Keep doing what you're doing 👉👍
I've got the same issue of having to round off the corners of the back scene. I have gone for 'bendy ply' It is generally about 3.6 to 4mm thick, and when ordering it specify which way you want it to bend. It's very bendy!! (need to order it from a proper timber merchant, rather than B&Q/Wickes. Comes in 8x4 sheets, and most merchants will cut it down to the size you need for free. Win Win!!
Hi, Ben (and Bob). I was most interested to hear that you want to switch between DCC and DC (at least on one part of the layout). I too wish to do the same as I have an extensive range of both chipped and unchipped locos. I have seen other videos where they describe how to wire the switch, but - if you would - I would like detailed coverage of how you connect your controllers (both attached to the wiring, if not switched on at the same time. I would also like to know how (if at all) you will isolate the DC loop from the rest of the DCC layout. 700,000 points on the layout? I've told you a million times not to exaggerate!
Hi guys - when I was working on my bungalow I had a UPVC soffit board left over so I stuffed it up in the loft as its so long and awkward to hide away. So when I started on my loft layout I thought that the soffit board would be ideal as a base to the back scene. Its plastic so the backscenes should stick to it quite easily to it is extremely bendy which is ideal for corners. All I have to do is purchase a couple more for the rest of the layout. Regards Chris
@@BlufferstoBuffers Hi ben it's going well iv just started the station area so something to keep me busy , Redknob-end is looking great plenty to keep you and Bob going for a long time and have much fun with 😁

Will get some and give it a go! Mad that it’s only 6 months, hadn’t thought of it like that!

You’re not wrong, lots of work to be done! Thanks for tuning in 😃
Save a seat for me lads 🚂🚃🚃🚃

Keep doing what you're doing 👉👍
Thanks 😊 If there’s one thing we are not, it’s serious. 🧐 🤪
Why does the dynamic between the two of you take me back to 2012 Lewis & Simon of the Yogscast? Excellent stuff and great videos :)
😊 thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
KFC crisps were a disappointment Bob... added to the fact they are suitable for vegetarians!!!! Looking good gents and good forward planning.
Bob is still emotional about it now

Bendy ply!? 🤔 sounds almost too obvious! Will have a mooch about and see if we can find this magical material! Thanks for the heads up!

Hey Paul - our very next video (or at least one of the next videos) will be covering exactly that! Hopefully we can make sense of it for you!
Cool update guys. You could call the unnamed incline 'Bluffers Hump'.
Thanks and great suggestion!
It’s a stunning plan and I’ll have great pleasure watching it unfold over the coming months (years?)
It's a great plan, for sure! And over Months/years is probably bang on the money haha
Looking great boys, the top level will be well worth watching develop over the summer.
Hopefully you’re right ha ha
Was that Wago connectors I just saw? They are amazing!
They are, and that’s what word I was trying to think of!
Very entertaining and interesting video. I have my 20 pounds at the ready.
It’s good practice to have £20 at the ready - you never know... 😉😂
Another great video, Looking really good now, I like the on rail camera wagon it gives the layout a different prospective
Thank you! Looking forward to getting our teeth into more scenery - will make the onboard camera even more dynamic!
@@BlufferstoBuffers please do, scenery is always the fun part
Good work, coming on nice 😁, need to do some more work on mine!
Thanks Darren. Don't waste time reading this, get to work on your layout!

Oooh - good idea! 🤔 I’ll do some research
I'm getting in there first , new name for the slope is red knob rising 👍
Hey Mans! Solid call! How’s your layout progressing?

This surely has to be a winner already???
When does the merch store open?
Hoodies and Baseball caps coming soon 😂😂
With the “a little dab ‘ll do ya” towel and oven gloves?
