Blimey Dave, what a change. Its good to see you stuck to OO gauge and modern and as long as your happy that's all that matters. God knows how many times I've changed my mind. Ps Sneaky peak of the GWR 166 looks fab. Susannah
Excellent update and pleased to see you back on here, really like what you’ve done to the layout and totally understand how time consuming the electrical elements take to get running perfectly, look forward to seeing your next update, cheers Darrell
You have been very busy since the last update, looking forward to following your progress with the new station and main junction. Really like the countryside scene with all those added extra bits of detail. Cheers David
Having been somewhat critical of Goodford’s previous incarnation, I’m mighty impressed with all your changes. Very glad you stuck with your initial concept; the layout is now a true embodiment of the old mantra “less is more”. From a railway operational standpoint your diverging junction signal in the countryside section would probably be sited much further back from the level crossing. This would then allow for any errant train not to foul the crossing or the junction if over-running the signal. Nevertheless, this is an extreme bit of nit-picking on my part - for which apologies - about what is now otherwise an extremely high standard piece of work. Love it!
Thanks for the feedback, I wanted to squeeze the signal in just before the level crossing as it means I can have another signal more than a trains length before it. Definitely not a prototypical block length before but it’s nice to see signals changing aspect as they would in the real world. Cheers, Dave
The new station is looking good mate, and the backscene wallpaper is better than a retaining wall. nice to see all that Bachman Scenecraft crap gone lol.
Probably to late now but heathcote electronics produce various electronic boards some of which will stop all trains at a specific point and can give indications to a display board
Thank you very much for this, much appreciated..
Look forwards to updates..
Again thankyou..

Very well spotted, the GWR 166 has been a nightmare to try and get right but think I’ve cracked it now (3rd attempt mind you!). Cheers, Dave

Hi. It looks great. Scenery is brilliant and station area is better.

Looks really good.
Everything looks different but keep up with the great work mate

Haha, thanks. It did often feel like I was creating an advert or magazine shot for the Bachmann scenecraft stuff!
WOW. Really cool.
Amazing layout pal.
it is an amazing update but i am a little bit sad the depot was gone because it was the greatest depot keep up the good work
I already miss the depot 😢
Haha, I do occasionally feel the same! 😢
Boa noite...sou Ester do Brasil 🇧🇷...parabéns...me inscrevi no seu Canal!!
the little bit where the depot was maybe that could be a mini like kind of forest?

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll take a look for future projects.
you should do a running session of a hst special
