Thank you! Cheers! There's been a fair bit of progress since, but sadly it's finding the time to do the video updates. Hopefully will get around to producing the next one in the series at some point
Hi Callum- Thanks for the update and some really nice new additions. I do like the Prussian Blue livery I have a 2P in it and quite fancy the Jinty. Keep Safe ...................Cheers Kev
It taken some searching to find one! So glad I've finally got it. Glad you like the work on the tunnels. Really has been worth the time and effort on them
Hi Callum! Nearly missed this update! Just as well I realised as I’ve been waiting for one! 😆 Those tunnel portals really are a work of art mate. And it’s great to see the abutments for the wee bridge get the same level of attention. It is these fine details which really do set yours apart from many other layouts. That backscene will look just fine when you have blended it all in and I look forward to see ing the view under the bridge, which I expect will look as though it goes much deeper once you have done your clever depth tricks 😎 The tunnel design is very clever. Good thing is I guess that you can just box off the bit with the point with a simple cover to keep it dark and tunnel like when you look through it 😃 I only just caught up with the new SDJR stock video too and my goodness you managed to get some handsome vehicles. As much as I love the locos, I must say those PO wagons are absolutely wonderful. In fairness, so is that Jinty! And finally, a blue 88! Hurrah!🤓 That resin plate does look good by the way. Advantage being of course that if you drop it, you won’t dent the floor or break your foot 🤣😂😂 And that tote really will set it all off nicely. Not heard a facia called a skirting board before, but hey, why not? It’s exactly what it does after all 🤷🏻♂️😜 Cheers matey, wonderful stuff as ever an really look forward to the next tunnel project in particular 👍🍀🍻
Thanks Tim. Glad you enjoyed the update. I've made a fair bit more progress since on many of the subjection mentioned above. Can't wait to give the SDJR fleet a proper run, when I finally get around to laying the track. Yes, it is indeed a facia board. That was about taken number 40, and I really had lost the will by that point to go back and re-record it. Not sure when the next update will be, got a busy couple of months ahead and I hope to use any free time on the construction
@@SDJR7F88: mate, I insist that in future you call it skirting! Can’t undo it now! 🤪 Funnily enough though, like I said: that IS actually what it is anyway 😂 As for being busy: in my book that is always a positive! And I am sure we can forgive you for that if it means we have to wait a bit more for the next update 👍🍀
Wow well done Callum your layout is top quality and the wonderful Train clips with superb sound make this lovely to watch . Your Moddeling skills are fantastic.again attention to detail shines through and using soot from the original Tunnels amazing dedication. I look forward to seeing your next chapter of your wonderful Layout. Best wishes Richard Crompton Canterbury Kent.
Many thanks indeed Richard and glad you are enjoying the progress. Managed to make some more major progress in recent weeks, which I hope to share at a future date. Do enjoy doing those little sound edits. When it comes to sound, you certainly can't beat the real thing!
Great update. Really like how you made the tunnel. Know how it is with motivation, time and everything else. Worth the wait though. Thanks for sharing. Roy.
Many thanks! Hopefully I'll get around to doing a write-up on construction of the the tunnel in a future issue of Railway Modeller magazine. Found a bit more motivation of late, and have manage to to make a bit more progress since filming. Certainly starting to take shape now
Great update as per! Really enjoying seeing your progress on this layout, as well as your progress on insta! 👍 Can't wait to see number 88 doing a full circuit of the layout!!
Thanks Matt. Glad your enjoying the build. Slowly getting there. Made a fair bit of progress over the past few days too... Like wise! Hopefully one day
I am really pleased you managed to get both 58 and 88. I missed to opportunity of getting 88 a few years ago. I bid on a 58 a couple of years ago but it went for silly money. It is why I joined the collectors club just to get the Johnson 0-4-4 tank in S & D colours.
Thank Oli! So pleased with how the backscene turned out. Hopefully will look even better when the physical trees are added. The totem really is an ideal fit on the layout. Now too complete the boards so I can mount it.
Marvelous update mate, well done. Don't worry too much I worked pretty much solidly on Thurstable lane, from December till late in Febuary. I've only just gone back in the room after 3 weeks! So I completely undertand why it's those big updates and breaks etc. You need time for you at the end of the day.
Thanks ever so much Mark! So pleased with how they have turned out. Hopefully they will look even better once in place with trains running through them
Very good job on the brick work. It is impressive. I do love the SDJR locomotives although I don't own any. They look the part although I tend to buy Midland and LMS. I discovered that the Longmoor Military Railway used Prussian Blue for a while before changing to Oxford Blue as well as olive, black and NATO greens.
Hi Callum, sorry that I missed the premiere. SDJr7F88 is a stunning loco. Progress is also good. I just started building the Wills Occupational bridge, interesting kit. Regards, David.
No worries David. Wasn't sure what would be the best time to air it anyways. Many thanks. Is a good little kit, thought I've heavily modified mine to suit the style of the real structure, combining a Wills and Ratio bridge to make one :)
Hi Callum. I find this very interesting as the same has been built in O Gauge Bath Green Park on TH-cam. An area I know quite a bit about but never modelled. Great work. Cheers, Bob
Nice to see you back doing an update. Slow and steady wins the race! Also good to see over on FB that the layout finally has power and can actually run a train on it now too!
Many thanks and glad you been following those posts, as you know there's been a fair bit of progress since filming this... Even more so since the weekend 😉
Really enjoyed this update. I have managed to find a 4F too and it is currently being weathered. I joined the Collector’s Club for the 4F and it sold out while I was signing up!
great stuff Callum, you must be chuffed to get the loco the layout is named after finally. I love your attention to detail with the bridges and tunnels, wills sheets is amazing stuff till you need to cut into it, so I take my hat off to you sir. Andy
Thanks ever so much Andy. Got to admit, it was difficult at time to find the motivation to film this one, but I'm so pleased with all the hard work I've put into those structures over the past few months. Really has paid off. As you know, there's been a fair bit of progress since, plus another first today too :)
Great update Callum, it’s coming along nicely.. I have to admit, my mojo has disappeared a bit lately but it is good to get a video out when you have time and the will.. Take care, cheers, Chris
Hi there, sadly not. Work and life in general have got in the way of the project on a whole and find the time to work on the layout, yet along record and edit these updates has become very difficult. Maybe one day I'll get back to doing the video on it.
I imagine you are very pleased with how this is going - I would be. It's only later on in the film that the tiny size of the bridges. The film, and your rather good camera, make it easy to forget how small 00 gauge is!
Hi Brian. Nothing to report I'm afraid, as other commitments have taken over amoung other things. If I do make any progress, the place to check would be via my Instagram page, as there are no plan to film any more updates, due to the amount of time and effort involved.
Hi Thomas, sadly life has got in the way, so for now the layout has been put on the back burner (along with updates) until further notice. I found this update in particular to be very draining and stressful to film and edit (note it was also my last video which I appear on camera). Reset assured I will try my up-most best to put a video together when I feel I can. Once again very sorry
Hi, yes and no. There been a lot going on a late, which has seen me step away from making videos. There has been some work on the layout, though it's very slow going. Currently there are no plans to continue doing these videos, due to the amount of time required to film edit, etc. However, my modelling can be seen in my monthly build articles in Railway Modeller magazine.
Wow - such a good standard of modelling - I look forward to watching the progress !
Thank you! Cheers! There's been a fair bit of progress since, but sadly it's finding the time to do the video updates. Hopefully will get around to producing the next one in the series at some point
Hi Callum- Thanks for the update and some really nice new additions. I do like the Prussian Blue livery I have a 2P in it and quite fancy the Jinty.
Keep Safe ...................Cheers Kev
Many thanks Kev. Glad you enjoyed the progress. The S&DJR livery is such a pretty colour scheme. Really suit the engines well
Finally the 7f. Good for you👏. Great plate and layout name board. The tunnel is stunning. Such care and craftsmanship. Rob
It taken some searching to find one! So glad I've finally got it. Glad you like the work on the tunnels. Really has been worth the time and effort on them

They sure go for mad prices now. Was very lucky for what I got them for. They simply are stunning
Such a worthwhile activity! Looking great!
Many thanks indeed! Slowly getting there
I am enjoying following the progress on this. The tunnels look great.
Many thanks indeed! Glad you are enjoying the progress
Nice little bit of progress there. The effort that you put into the backscene and tunnel was worth it. Looks brill!
Thanks Michael. Really pleased with how that all turned out. Hopefully it will be well worth it in the long run
Great update, that viaduct scene with the layers of trees behind will look fantastic! Love the totem too!
Thank Oli! So pleased with how the backscene turned out. Hopefully will look even better when the physical trees are added. The totem really is an ideal fit on the layout. Now too complete the boards so I can mount it.
great update mate youve put alot of time and patience into that layout and liking the railway room, looking forward to the next update. Tom
Many thanks and glad you think so. Really has been trying at times, but hopefully it will all work out in the end
Marvelous update mate, well done. Don't worry too much I worked pretty much solidly on Thurstable lane, from December till late in Febuary. I've only just gone back in the room after 3 weeks! So I completely undertand why it's those big updates and breaks etc. You need time for you at the end of the day.
Many thanks. Yeah, found giving the room a good clear out helped too
Excellent up date your tunnel portal's look pretty amazing thankyou for the video
Thanks ever so much Mark! So pleased with how they have turned out. Hopefully they will look even better once in place with trains running through them

I discovered that the Longmoor Military Railway used Prussian Blue for a while before changing to Oxford Blue as well as olive, black and NATO greens.
Glad you like the livery. Certainly stands out. Just got to love the set up and stock used at Longmoor
Hi Callum, sorry that I missed the premiere. SDJr7F88 is a stunning loco. Progress is also good. I just started building the Wills Occupational bridge, interesting kit.

Great update. Coming along nicely the additions to the fleet look very smart SDJR blue is a lovely vivid livery
Many thanks mate. Really is a smart livery. Nice to finally be able to get some of the rarer models in the livery scheme.
Hi Callum. I find this very interesting as the same has been built in O Gauge Bath Green Park on TH-cam. An area I know quite a bit about but never modelled. Great work. Cheers, Bob
Indeed. Stunning layout that. Glad you enjoyed

Many thanks Chris, glad you enjoyed the update. Know the feeling, I found given the room a good clear out helped a lot.
Anymore updates? I have enjoyed watching these updates. Its a cool layout the level of detail is ridiculous!
Hi there, sadly not. Work and life in general have got in the way of the project on a whole and find the time to work on the layout, yet along record and edit these updates has become very difficult. Maybe one day I'll get back to doing the video on it.

Wait for this one.
Not long to go
@@SDJR7F88 Thanks very much for replying to my comment. It's nice to see other people's work to get idea to improve my Channel. Take Care & Stay Safe.

Thanks David

Thanks
Inspiration modelling.
Many thanks
great stuff - i am new to your site, can you say who makes the track and what type, it looks good, better than one normally sees.
Many thanks. It's Peco Bullhead
Hi Callum how is your layout going it has been such a long time since your last post I look forward to any updates
Hi Brian. Nothing to report I'm afraid, as other commitments have taken over amoung other things. If I do make any progress, the place to check would be via my Instagram page, as there are no plan to film any more updates, due to the amount of time and effort involved.
This looks like it is going to be a good vid...😉🚂🚂🚂
Hope so!
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Any more updates coming?
Afraid not
We need a layout update it's been age now... I know I'm not the only one

👍👍👍
Thanks
You have to try and get ivo s Bentley to put at the side of the track
All ready got it, believe it was parked just out of shot under Water Bottom Viaduct.
Hi, is this project still ongoing?
Hi, yes and no. There been a lot going on a late, which has seen me step away from making videos. There has been some work on the layout, though it's very slow going. Currently there are no plans to continue doing these videos, due to the amount of time required to film edit, etc. However, my modelling can be seen in my monthly build articles in Railway Modeller magazine.
