@2.00 Lead weights on a Conflat A. A tip Philip - if you have a problem then try some wheel-balance weights (from your nearest Tyre & Exhaust centre) painted black and affixed to the underside of the wagons.... _Do the barrier wagons derail upon a sudden start as it may be caused by snatching?_ _When loose-coupled freight trains used to restart the driver would sometimes first set back to compress the couplings. As the train pulled away wagons were picked up one by one rather than the sudden weight of the entire train._
I have green Mk1's, blood and custard Mk1's and maroon Mk1's. And I run them between 11 and 13 coaches long. I run 2 freight trains, each of over 40 wagons, truck, flats, boxes, and tankers. They look so much better at real, prototype lengths, than the 6-9 freights that dash around smaller layouts. And the sound is great. It will be a long "about 6-weeks". Thanks for this.
You should film your trains and put it on your youtube account, I would like to see. And if/when you do tell me so I can watch. Long trains are the best way. Kind regards, Philip
Hi. Nice big layout. All of that damage because of a boiler. But you will need some heat during the winter,thats more important. Good luck with the reconstruction.
I do like the "train spotter" views😁👍👍
Thankyou, kind regards, philip
awesome, one can only dream
Thankyou, kind regards, philip
Wow, awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!

Good idea. I did not know that drivers used to do that. Unfortunately the digital boxes stop and start too quickly. Kind regards Philip
@@model.train.railway. Glad it might assist.
Are there not adjustable digital boxes?
Colin
Not that I know of
Really great video. Hope the boiler gets sorted and look forward to seeing the revised layout!
Just got home from holiday, thats tomorrow's job
@@model.train.railway. Best wishes with that.
Thankyou
Fantastic layout
Many thanks! Kind regards, philip
Great video Philip, exciting times ahead. Looking forward to seeing the marshaling yard. All the best bob.
Thnakyou, kind regards ,Philip
Its been a bit delayed, but I intend to start in two weeks
As always thank you for taking the time to upload another running session which I’ve liked
Thankyou, kind regards, Philip

Thank you Philip. 👍
Looks like you need an attic extension...... 😁
Almost did when we had an extention, but it was too expensive......
Excellent Philip, You are a glutton for work, 😂, Really enjoyed the running and look forward to the changes,
Thankyou, building trains is never work, ATB, Philip
Good luck with the construction work on the new track and marshalling yard. Do hope you film it all! Will be great I’m sure!
Thankyou,I suspect it will take longer than expected. I am hoping to start next week, kind regards, Philip

I wanted to have the boiler to be raised, but was far too expensive, kind regards, Philip
How do the trains stay on the track at these speeds & no derailments? 😊
The crashes are cut out. They can usually run for about 15 minutes before something goes wrong. It is a problem with so many trains at speed.
