Hi Chris, Layout is looking great, really like what you have done with the scenic section of the layout, especially those superb trees 😉🤣! Thanks for the shout out, much appreciated! I say keep up the good work with TH-cam and do what you are comfortable with, I personally find that people like videos (Taking feedback and comments on board) that see you 'doing' the modelling and not just talking about it but each to their own as some videos obviously do very well just talking about model railways. Cheers Gary

Cheers Gary, will truck on for the time being😃

Hi Chris, nice work. The scenic work is looking really good. It is really bringing the new part of your layout alive. We're looking forward to seeing trains running through it ... Cheers James 🙂👍

Thanks James, trains will be running in the next video...

Hi Chris! Great work with the scenics! The trees really transformed the whole scene! In terms of making videos, try not fall into the trap of chasing views! You will never be happy, and will always want more! Make stuff that you'd be happy to watch yourself - or more importantly, you enjoy making! If you're happy, others will be too, and will follow along! All the best, Ian.

Thanks Ian, Sage advice, I'll keep plodding.......

Greetings Chris 👋 Fantastic work on the landscaping 🤩 the road markings and shrub work really make everything come to live 👀 As for the channel 🤔 I don't think you can go too far wrong following the work of Charlie Bishop or Everard Junction 😇 a blend of conversation and modeling is the perfect mix 👍 Very best wishes from the Emerald Isle ☘️

[@Amberlea-Model-Railway]

Hi Paul, thanks for your kind comments and feedback - just trying to find the right balance, I see some channels about the same age as mine having thousands of followers and they do little if any modelling but loads of non-train related chatter. I find it a bit frustrating to be honest.

[@Wickford_N_Gauge]

Simon from N Gauge on a shelf has a fairly young channel like your's 🤔 he too has a great mix of conversation about his work and the the practicalities he has faced 😇 TH-cam views are hard earned and very unpredictable 🙄 the best thing to do is produce content that you would like to watch yourself 👍

[@Elvenhome]

The landscaping has come out really well Chris. I do like the bridge that cuts across the tracks and the road. So far as your videos are concerned, I think the key thing is that you make videos that you enjoy making, because that will come across. Personally I am not a fan of talking head videos and I don't follow any of the TH-camrs that put out that kind of material. I want to see modelling that is giving pleasure to modeller as they build.

Thanks Stephen, great thoughts as usual - just gonna keep going and see where it takes me.....

i hate the sound of my voice so I never do comms on my short videos. I enjoy your walk throughs of the layout and the content is always worth watching. I hate review videos of locos, too many of them which I skip. Modelling and running sessions, my favourites

[@Amberlea-Model-Railway]

Thanks for your feedback, big running session on the next video in 2 weeks😁

Nice update Chris. The extension is really looking great.
Shame about Gary going to OO. Not for me personally as I want long trains and I would quickly become bored I think. Wasn't going to TINGS but I might do. As for channels, I'm a total amateur and novice. I don't think anyone wants to see my fat face so I hide away. 😂. I watch a variety of channels but less of those that just talk and never seem to actually work on the layouts. Some rather famous ones out there that don't really move on much. Each to their own though 👍

[@Amberlea-Model-Railway]

Thanks very much. Yes, I agree with your comment on OO, although the stock and locos seem to be a lot cheaper! Keep me informed about TINGS and we'll grab a brew or something if you end up going - I think I'm going to be there on the Saturday. Chris
