Now you have scared off all the rivet counters, what is there to talk about! Seriously, great work with the Supporters Group as it has clearly made so many comfortable about showing their layouts and at all levels of work. As one guy said, “this is may layout, it makes me happy.” Should be the group motto!
Top bloke with a top layout and a top bunch of genuine followers! Not going to get on about the toffee nosed rivet counters as they absolutely boil my..... blood. Keep up the great work, we appreciate you showing us your layout 👍
I can tell in the tone of your voice on recent video's these rivet counters are driving you insane . . . Please please pleaseeeeee do not pay a single ounce of attention, this is your hobby, your layout and you can do it exactly as you wish, its great work and a fabulous layout --- Don't even justify them with acknowledgement on your video's as that is what they are looking for to wind you up . . . Rise above it, your great at what you do and your work is inspirational for other hobbyists.... Keep it up !!!
Best in Class! Honestly, just stumbled on to your channel, so many ideas I can steal, er I mean admire. I have put a couple of those semaphore signals on the layout and never even thought about modelling how they get operated, well done for having the patience.
I’m a great fan of signalling, your signals are great! I have been collecting signals for years, so I have some that were from the 1950’s and some Dapols. Unfortunately I wired my first Dapol (SR U/Q) to my sixty year old Hammant & Morgan “Monitor” unit, output 16v A.C. I followed the instructions correctly, but the early instructions did not advise you needed a “regulated” DC output to run them. At that time I had never heard of regulated DC, but had an old 10v DC mobile ‘phone recharging unit which did the job. Result £26 .00 down the drain for the first signal. Yes, I know most modern mobiles run from 5v DC, but this one was probably from an old Nokia. I was advised that my unit had an iron core transformer which meant that even a DC output would have blown the signal. The “Monitor” unit is very good with all my modern Hornby, Bachman and Dapol locomotives and multiple units. Slow starts, no jerking when stopping, and controllable down to a slow stop into a platform or up to a red signal, as it has “transformer control”, not resistance control. Paid £2.00 for it about 1964. PICTON, South Island, New Zealand.
Hi John- I have to say I am enjoying the new Facebook group as its great to see other peoples work and gain inspiration and to be able to post without fear of judgement. I am going to use one of those Dapol signals to replace a Train tech one my cat broke !! Cheers Kev
the sheer amount of meticulous detail everywhere is insane. And I most loved the match between your foliage and the background print - especially on camera the illusion is perfect.
Good effort. Those junction signals are not absolutely incorrect. Although they would not normally appear like this, they could appear like this. There are prototypical examples. Thanks for uploading!
Great layout! It looks absolutely fantastic 👍🏻 It's the rivet counters and all the negative people that are stopping me from doing much on TH-cam. I've made a couple of little videos. And I've had nothing but encouraging comments. But the bigger your channel, the more people want to shoot you down. I don't want anyone taking away the enjoyment of the hobby. 😕
Having all the engines out is great,,better than having very few,,looking at the smaller buildings on the layout,they are really nice,,trees and vegetation terrific,,😊
I like the way you are not to serious with the commentary makes me smile. I have Dapol signals in n on dcc and find now and again the signal forgets it self snd does what it wants.
I thinks it's a super layout and most importantly its yours so you can do what you want with it and stuff the nit-pickers. No time for those that criticise and add nothing constructive. Keep up the great work and do what you want to do going forwards.....
Glad I've found your channel! You've got a supurbe layout, although I'm a bit biased as I'm a fellow Norfolk based railway modeler (thought more of a kettle head than you 😜) look forward to seeing more!!
Great to another video mate! 😎 I love the enthusiasm you have and it is reflected in the love and attention you give your layout. And like you say, the miserable sods that want to criticise clearly have got something missing from their lives, probably friends 🤣😂😅 The infrastructure is so wonderfully (and accurately) claustrophobic as anyone that works in a depot will testify! You are also right about that signal box, absolutely champion! 😎 BTW, while you were looking for ‘that word’ I swear I was saying ‘endorsed!’ over and over again 😉 Only one teeny-weeny gripe…why hasn’t Dennis passed his PTS yet? They could do with him when they do maintenance on the semaphores. Can he not get someone to help him pass the assessment, get his competency card and then get kitted out? Or is it just that raptor hi-viz equipment is a bit scarce? 🤔 🦖 Cheers mate, fantastic stuff. I’ll have a look out for the FB group too 😉👍🍀
I do like your layout. The attention to detail and scenery are a credit to you. Have you considered putting a facia round the layout, then fixing a curtain underneath? That would really put the Cherry on the bun!
Really good update mate, I have the signalling wiring etc to install, not looking forward to it 😳 especially as I have some rodding to do as well! But what you’ve done; looks great. All the best, Stu @ Kingsclere model railway.
Evening John, fantastic video yet again, the layout is now way onto another level, the signals are just stunning, colas sidings great idea, works well, credit to you sir.
Brilliant videos look forward to viewing them anyway take no notice from rivet counters it’s your railway run what you like. I’m ex service too RN for my sins
Hi there JB, Why not give Dennis dinasau one red flag and one green flag and use his height to detect main line traffic?. Great layout and always enjoyable videos, regards, Michael/ OO in Japan .
Nothing wrong with end-to-end layouts. Personally I like them cause there's more operational potenrisp, run around, shunt releasing, etc. Building a small one myself
Hi John, fantastic update on a lovely layout, the new semaphores look amazing,as regards the rivet counters, just ignore them, they're not worth acknowledging,(pound to a penny,if you went to their channel, you'd be greeted with "this channel has no content", which speaks volumes), Dennis the Dinosaur, reminds me of the animatronic dinosaurs at the Landmark Adventure Park at Carr bridge near where I live, there really is a prototype for everything, anyway, sorry for filling up your comments section, take care, all the best from Scotland, Stephen.
Just subscribed, enjoyed the video, what's a bit of anarchy between friends lol? I couldn't give two flying f**ks what Norman Nasaltone, the layout looks good and the signals are great. Don't do Facebook or any other social media but I'll continue to enjoy your layout here.
Hi John .I did try to join your new Facebook group but was turned down because I didnt have a profile picture. A good reason for that is and only a skeleton profile is to prevent identity theft. I tried anyway.
M8 I've subbed. I love your layout. Ignore the assholes that comment negatively. I don't use RM Web for that reason. Too many prats. Unfortunately I don't do Facebook but will catch up here. Love the detail.
I hear you John regarding rivet counters .They are the scourge of the hobby and killing it slowly with their unwarranted criticisms especially of the younger end which are the lifeblood of the hobby going forward. I will be joining your Facebook group in due course. Thanks buddy
Nonsense, rivet counters have always been there and the vast majority of people ignore them. The problem today seems more to do with people not being able to take any form of criticism, especially younger people and I don't just mean kids.
@@jamescollins3647 Perhaps more people then need to take more notice of Rule 1 . IE . Its my railway and I will do what I want. A model railway is there for enjoyment .
@@GarthDavies-cd5oh By the way if you think model railway rivet counters are bad you should try military modelling lol. "That Sherman tank barrel is 0.002 of a millimetre too thick!"
@@jamescollins3647 James you are spot on as I am also a military modeller/wargamer . I was criticised for painting the buttons on a batch of French Imperial Guard I did for a friend in the wrong shade of brass for the buttons. Apparently according to this "expert" the brass colour I had chosen was too dark!! I kid you not.
Hello there. Why on earth would anyone want to criticise your layout? It's brilliant! I'm sure there was a signal like the one you have on the platform at Barry Island station back in the day, so perhaps the GWR got it wrong, too?!? Oh, and you can't have too many locos: just have a look at some old shots of Cardiff Canton Depot.
What a brilliant end to end layout, and like those signals, can I ask what size (width) your boards are? As I model in N and seem to run out of room😂 yet you seem to get lots in. Once again brilliant layout
John, rivet counters have very thin skulls. With a modest application of pressure aside both temples equally applied they pop quite nicely. There's a lovely popping sound as well. Very satisfying.
@@Ausjon61 but instead of asking..they just assumed and decided to have a discussion about how everything was wrong....if they simply asked me, I could have told them about HR's bi-directional operation...

Who needs a roof when you have a model railway? 😛
John, rivet counters have very thin skulls. With a modest application of pressure aside both temples equally applied they pop quite nicely. There's a lovely popping sound as well. Very satisfying.
We only sit in the van whilst we wait for possession or a line block to be taken or if we are eating.
Rivet counters are just a pain in the proverbial. ... remember rule one... it's your railway run wot you like
I quit counting rivets after I dropped the bucket.
Take no notice of the fuels
It's only the wrong signal if you want it to be. It's a little thing called "Modellers License"...
