Magnificent achievements all round. Stunning layout in such a short time. Really great that the public, kids and adults enjoyed your layout and the shows. You, and your mates, should be really proud of what you achieved. Thanks so much for sharing.
great to see you are now into the exhibition circuit Eric! Isn't it wonderful to be able to show your modelling in person, exchange ideas, and to enjoy the interactions and feedback? I can see you thoroughly enjoyed it, well done!!
Thank you for sharing this insight into getting a layout to a show for the first time. Looks like all the hard work was well worth it! Brilliant stuff Eric
Eric, I am really pleased that you and your friends managed to complete as much as you did before the two shows. Thanks for giving us some insight into what you learned and your future plans. I look forward to seeing it back in the cabin, and it all being finished so you can display it in all its glory. It might help if you could draw a plan of your vision for the overall layout which you will eventually take to future shows. Also please give us plenty of advance warning about where and when you are going to show it.
Well done for getting the layout across the line in time. Looks like it was heck of a mission. Lucky you have a very understanding wife too. I can't imagine my wife, lovely as she is, agreeing to duck under the railway to get up and down the stairs each time! 😂 Or be happy with my tools and scenics allover the kitchen!
Well done chap,,,, i too love the LU and will be sounding and lighting my 38 tube stock now I’ve managed to buy all the bits to do it, thanks for your vid on that subject too!!! Will love to catch up at a show in the future to have a natter and a good butchers!!! Nick
I was at Rapido Railex on the Friday and was mightily impressed by the canal scenic. I reckon I'd spent more time looking at that part of your layout than all the rest added together and I even came back for a 2nd look after I had made a trip around the whole hall. There were many excellent layouts at Railex and your's was right up there in the best in show group. Bravo.
Fantastic job Eric... I have no idea how you managed to do all that work in such a short time. Really enjoyed this video ( as always). Had to laugh at the Battenburg cake comment... Very well done... PS because of my old age my favourite is always the 38 stock... even if it runs a bit like the way I walk these days :-) ... again, well done to all involved in getting this to the shows...
@@davidportch8837 haha, i usually like cake aswell, as you can probs tell 😂 The 38 is great, i just didnt have enough time to get all of the rolling stock sorted properly before the show. Next time!
Excellent video Eric, you make modelling look simple, "just need to do this add that replace that"....I'd be having kittens! Refreshing to see an integrated BR and LT focused modeller. Love riding on it when in the area so to see the level of detail you put in to reflect the system is great. Big shout out to your missus too, no way I'd be allowed that much of a takeover in the house! Look forward to the next installment
Well done mate, only just caught up with this. What an amazing job you all did in such a short timescale. And that’s before half of it is even finished! 😉 Now you can do things a bit more carefully and add those little additional touches that I know you love! 😄 Great stuff mate, look forward to seeing it some day! 😎👍🍀🍻
Great to see you in Maidstone was fantastic to see it close up, I used to drive that route, and it bought back some great memories. Looking forward to the viaduct....
The new junction looks great. Gutted that I missed its first outing only 10 mins from home. As an entity it all goes together well. Carry on the good work. It was nice to see the woods behind were I lived in the 60’s
Was a pleasure to see the layout in the flesh, really is fantastic! Didn’t get a chance to tell you in person as you were a very busy man, look forward to seeing it again soon. Graham.
Fantastic vid mate, it’s great to see you’re not afraid to cut up my boards either 😂 you should be proud of what you’ve achieved in next to no time! Credit to you and your mates who helped
Absolutely brilliant Eric! What a journey and the rewards came from the smiling faces enjoying your layout, hope you have a well earned rest and I will hopefully get to see your layout if ever it’s a bit more down south 🤣 thanks for sharing mate, enjoyed every minute, cheers Darrell 😃👍
Hi Eric. Great to see you at GETS on Sunday. looking forward to seeing Harefield and Watford junction on the circuit next year. Happy driving. Caroline.
Wow Eric the layout looks amazing all set up, the new section junction sets it up beautifully, the detail so far is really good , and fir a short build time is fantastic, look forward to seeing it at a show in the future, 😂
What a great achievement, cant get over how much you create in such a short time, if you ever come down to Aus i have couple jobs for you, great video , i cant wait to see what you do next, but i am still cant believe what you did on the last video in the shed, but hey you are full of surprises, look for ward to the next one
Although I live in Rainham just up the road, I was unable to attend Railex, but it is great to see you had a good time. All your hard work is looking brilliant. Keep it up. I bet your next purchase is going to a certain 4 coach set from Bachman!
Hi Eric, brilliant mate, considering what you have achieved, do not built yourself up re the swapped bus wire.. I really do hope I will see you in Chesham, and also brill job by Ant and your mates, the efforts were well worth while. rgds Mark
Keep the videos coming. I am just getting started with you tube and uploading. feel free to follow my journey. Erics layout inspires me massively if only i had the same skills/knowledge with this. but Im getting there.
