- In this video I talk about and show you how I completed (95%) the town of Aberlyng, including lighting and figures. I also give a shout out to @Amberlea-N-gauge-Railway and to @DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY in the hope that you will take some time to watch and subscribe to their channels.
I am so glad that Dai returned. Trust the rugby club to take him on a final tour. The town looks very good Steve. You do get things done quickly and the end result is very good. Nice to see the trains running. Stephen
Thanks Stephen - I had most of the buildings done from the last layout so it was just a case of placing them and wiring them up. I set out to have 4 locos running and have now managed to to get to 5 so am very happy. I need to start to look at collecting and storing stock now and invest in some rolling stock of quality.
Regards
Steve
Your work rate never ceased to amaze me,you have achieved more in a couple of months that I have in a year or more Great work.
A lot of the building's I had previously built from layout 1 so it was pretty quick to repair and place them this time, hence the work rate. NOw I will be working on the country scene and this will slow me down lol - plus the weather being so bad I had plenty of time on my hands!

Steve
Hi Steve, thank you so much for giving us a mention, we really appreciate it, we've giving Amberlea Model Railway a watch and subscribed. I've just watched this with my grandson, your layout is coming along nicely with some really nice scenes that you're creating. We are both looking forward to following your progress.....cheers James 🙂👍
THanks James - happy to let others know about the channel - I really do like the way its filmed by your grandson. Hopefully mine will be as good!
Regards
Steve
@lynganddistrict I'm sure yours will be as good if not better, Steve. He's just about to start filming another video. So hopefully there'll be a new one coming soon...cheers James 🙂👍
Fantastic work on the town - loved the running of the trains. You should feel rightly proud of what you've built so far - excellent 😊 cheers Euan
Thanks Euan - Now the next bit will be a lot trickier and slower but I have achieved everything I wanted to so far. Over the years I can add to the town and start to invest in new stock I think.
Regards
Steve
Greetings Steve 🐲🏴👋 I'm so relieved that Dai has had his funeral 🙏😥 the thought of him haunting 👻 the allotments was just too much to take 😱 The Village is looking amazing, and trains are running smoothly 😍 happy days in Aberlyng 😁 The closing stills 📷 are a fantastic addition to 😍 and really show off all the fine details you have added 👍 Very best wishes from the Emerald Isle ☘️
Hey up Paul - just saw your message before settling down for the rugby for the day. Thanks for the kind words. Hopefully Dai will have a good rest - but them rugby boys may get up to mischief later .....

Steve
Hey Steve, very many thanks for the shout-out and your kind words, have subbed to Dylington too! Great video BTW. Chris
Thanks Chris - was a pleasure to give you a shout out. One thing about this community is the help and support we give each other - you never know when you need advice or where you can get inspiration from.
Cheers

Hi Steve, wow! How many houses have you built, the whole town scene looks excellent and some of the views across it towards it to the backscene gave it some real depth. Well done mate, great work and I’m so pleased Dai has found his final resting place.
Cheers for now Steve, John
HI John - I already had the majority of the houses from the old layout, just had to build two more really. Yes Dai will get his final resting place - unless the boyos change their mind!
Regards
Steve
Hi Steve! The town is looking awesome, and is much bigger than I'd envisaged when you started! Love the new kids playground and allotment scenes, and of course the funeral! Did you say you had five trains running? That's heart in mouth time isn't it? Lol! Loved the photo compilation! It really showed off the variety of great little scenes you've added to the layout! Keep up the good work mate! Will also be checking out the two channels you mentioned! All the best, Ian.
Yes Ian - five locos on four tracks - I can run 4 locos endlessly, but added a fifth on for the sound of the chuffing -just regulated the speeds of the two on the same track so they matched each other. The idea is to run 4 run arounds on four tracks plus a coal wagon rake that branches off from the coal mine to the harbour - if I get the layout right!
Regards
Steve
Hi Steve, certainly cracking on with your layout now I was on holiday last week so missed this update just catching up with all the videos now cheers Al
No problems Al, I took a week off as well but thats for other reasons. Spent a day catching up lol. Thanks for comment bud.
Regards
Steve
Beautiful update Steve really coming together now pal
Take it easy catch you soon
Hey Sion - long tim eno see mate - hope your well - thanks for the comment. Look forward to seeing how your doing soon mate

Steve
Brilliant! But I hate to think what the aggregated electric bill for the town would be 😀 Obviously before the inflation hit ...
Well the town has certainly come on and looks really good. I do think you are missing one building though and that is the public wash house. Houses in your era mostly didn't have indoor sanition and they used to go down the road for a bath and do the washing. You would probably need to scratch build it.

Ahhhn now then you've given me an idea --- back in the 60's when I was a small child I can still remember us having a tin bath on a saturday morning - it wasn't until the old rows above the tin mines were condemned and we got moved into the new council houses on an estate near the beach that we had a bathroom - but we still had an outside loo and a coal shed!

Steve
Are the houses with back yards Metcalf kits?
Yes - after some research and when I was starting out I decided that the town would be build from these Metcalfe kits, in stone.

Steve
