I like your passenger wagon weathering. It's a fine line between "straight off the factory floor" and "pulled from a disused siding after 50 years" and all your rolling stock treads it perfectly.
I have never seen such realism on a model railway. Almost unbelievably brilliant! The scenery - attention to detail and particularly the 'weathering' is simply outstanding.
I was into HO scale modeling a LONG time ago when you had to build your own engine and running gear from die cast kits (1950's). Such excellent detailing and scenery like you show wasn't even thought about at that time since we had to stumble over other problems. We had to make sure we had the correct rectifier for the transformer so things didn't start to smoke on the layout. Speed control was another issue and things got pretty jerky at times. It sure is a pleasure to see the work you have done and it is highly appreciated.
I'm still gorging on your uploads... loving taking a break from work and enjoying a session admiring your beautiful layout. Inspiration galore! Thank you.
What a beautiful layout you have created there. To avoid the temptation of throwing lots of track down in favour of a sleepy backwater is to be commended. The contours flow so naturally and that rocky riverbed is just a delight. Please show us more. I've subbed in anticipation. Paul
What a beautiful layout. I recently watched a show called Oh Doctor Beeching on my computer and this layout reminds me so much of that show that I could almost see those characters running around the station. Excellent job.
Wow. This was a pleasant surprise to suddenly find. What a cracking layout. I really do like your scenics and the simplicity of your track plan. Looking forward to see what happens next :-) Cheers, Bob
Great looking lay-out. Round haybales first appeared in the 70's though. And only on lage farms. Switch to small rectangular ones, and maybe some stacks.
Really like your scenery and structures, it has a nice feeling of the English countryside about it. Those locos are good enough to warrant sound decoders!
Mouldy raspberry I mainly model US stuff,(see some of my uploads) and have found the Tsunami Econami decoders to be excellent value for money...and they now do them in UK sounds as well. The great thing with them is that you get a range of different sounds you can select, unlike the crap Zimo decoder I just purchased for one of my French steam locos...it has very ability to make sound changes. I am a relative newcomer to dcc sound, but happy to try and help if needed. Cheers, Tommo
I discovered your channel today and have just subbed. Now I'm binge watching the vids. I love your layout and feel really tempted to change my own plans and add at least some rural landscape to what was originally planned to be an urban layout.
Man, this is AMAZING. I love Yorkshire (I'm from the US). Spent a couple of days there a year or so ago. Wow did you capture what I felt. Thank you Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much for this
Hi, just found your channel and WOW what a fantastic layout, being a Yorkshire man myself i had to subscribe to you, the drystone walls are spot on, cheers...Mal
Im in SA and though im a staunch SAR modeller, i have to hand it to you. Its really a splendid layout full of vibrant nature scenes and colour well toned off and given a seasoned realistic appearance. Well done
That is beautiful. I even like the satisfying rumble that has recorded so well. I feel the urge to go and film another miniature enthusiasts' exhibition. This was fun thank you! Subscribed!
Hello....! Your engines run extremely quietly, might I enquire as to how you’ve achieved it, also the weathering details....wow! I especially love where you see ‘real’ weeds in through the tracks, astonishing detail Also I love the fact that none of your locomotives are ‘run-always’ there’s always a driver or stoker!
Thanks Ross, appreciate it. I haven’t done anything specific to try and make them run quietly, so maybe it’s just the way the camera picked up the sound. Some are definitely noisier than others! I’ve seen some people lay cork under the track to reduce noise but once you’ve ballasted and it’s set, I don’t think it makes any difference.
Looks really good, I like the weathering on the loco's and rolling stock, and the 'afternoon sun' shadows on the platform, so good photography and filming techniques, I'll look forward to your progress! cheers, Dave
That's awfully darn good for "a few months in"! I'm on the other side of the pond, and can tell from experience that few railways ever get this finished looking! I also have to give a tip o' the hat to Brit modellers in general, who seem to have a universal talent for lush green landscapes! It's really quite lovely, and something that seems to avoid a lot of North American hobbyists, even when trying to model the Wet Coast or Eastern States.
Thanks for the comment. I had a lot of free time over my summer break so managed to make very good progress since starting mid August. I’d love to have a crack at an American layout one day.
thanks for sharing, I'm a bit worried about the dry riverbed. I know we have a very dry summer season in Western Australia and creek beds do dry out quick but in the Yorkshire Dales this shouldn't occur, its usually lush and green and plenty of rain
Thanks for the comment! The layout isn’t even nearly finished at this point, so when this was posted I hadn’t got round to adding water and detailing the river.
Scenic skills 12/10, they are fantastic. Interesting track plan, its simplicity belies the permutations that you will find possible. Minor quibble, very minor, a few of the buildings and some parts of the platforms are "floating", i.e. gaps at ground level. Given your scenic skills I imagine you are aware of this. Have subbed and look forward to seeing more of this layout. Thank you for sharing, it's an inspiration.
Thanks very much! Those gaps have really been bugging me, the worst of which I think is around the base of the cottages and at the platform ends. The cottage porches now have flower beds in front however, although the gaps certainly need touching up. Thanks for the sub.
Model railways represent our own choice of location & type, depending on our mood. Some folk like warrens with trains popping here & there constantly, I enjoy them, make no mistake. This model I like because it slows everything down. A point to point system, which means each train & each movement has a purpose. You can sit with a cuppa & hope that something will emerge. "Quick, where's me note book"? Brill.
My current railway, Hall Brooks, I started planning in 1999, started construction in 2001, I am still adding detail now in 2018. I adore the "out in the sticks" of yours. A gem, it really is. Best wishes.
Hi, there is a lot of great weathering on rolling stock (I'm not ready to do that on my1950-1960 HD stock yet - although I have converted 3rail to DCC and sit there dreaming of "daysgonebye") but have you thought of putting some "spare" sleepers (which we all have many) in a lot of those gaps at the end of track sections? It will add a lot to what is a great layout.
Thanks very much, sounds like you’ve got quite a task to weather all that stock! I have indeed done that, this video was posted 8 months ago so the layouts come on a fair bit since then! Thanks for your comment.
It’s just a really old Hornby Dublo wagon I think, so the flanges on the wheels are a bit too chunky for modern points. I’ll have to change them eventually.
How has your loft layout survive the heat wave of this summer of 2018? Many of the non air conditioned lofts and garden sheds have bit the dust this summer in the UK. Tracks separating from the sleepers as the tracks have expanded, especially flex track...
Hi Ron, fortunately I haven’t had any problems. When I laid the track I left reasonably large gaps in between the joints for expansion, so this has prevented any buckling of track.
Thanks very much. It’s static grass by a company called Peco. You use a little battery powered applicator to apply it in layers. They applicators are expensive but I got mine off eBay for £14.
@@MouldyRaspberry Thanks for that information. I'm just working my way through your other videos on construction and landscaping which are extremely useful. Thanks for taking the time to put them on line.
There are quite a few videos of all that sort of thing on the channel, but I mainly used polystyrene and then covered this in plaster bandage or papier maché.
I really like the depth that you've achieved on a 2 foot width. It's exactly right for a slow country railway like the KWVR and NYMR. What else have you got planned for it?
Thank you, appreciate the comment. The KWVR in particular was a big inspiration for this layout. Plans for the moment are to really add a lot more detail to the scenery, particularly the river, some of the fields and the cottage allotments. In the long run I might even extend it further, there’s enough space to more than double its length by laying more baseboards around the other side of the loft. I’ll keep you updated.
Hi, I really like your layout of the country scenery. I'm just a beginner get into the model railway . I would love to do something similar to your setup. Any hints & tips. many thanks
Thanks very much. I only got into this hobby in the last year myself, so my advice would be to do plenty of research into the best ways of doing things and take your time so you don’t have to go back and change too many things later on! Good luck with your layout.
Hi again, Can I ask where did you get your cottage houses from? Are from Metcalfe or did you make them yourself. love to know. your setup for the cottage homes are great, my setup would almost in away will look like yours, as in the cottage houses part. I've got the same country station love that one ,that was my first building I started of with. Its amazing what you have done in your video clips your the only person that I have followed on you tube. many thanks Brian
Hi Brian. Yes the cottages are a Metcalfe kit, I just weathered them a bit using some Humbrol weathering powders. The country station was my first kit as well! I’m going to attempt to scratch build a Yorkshire textile mill for the layout extension, so that will be an interesting challenge! Many thanks as always, M.R.
Amazing as someone from Yorkshire this makes me feel like I am out in the Yorkshire dales having a nice walk and train spotting. It all looks so realistic it must have taken you hours and hours to create this its a credit to you . I also love your engine selection especially your City of Wells look alike Bullied (my favourite}. I get the feeling they could all be inspired by K.W.V.R Engines are they ? So glad I found your site I have subscribed instantly. Please post more videos the first ones have been a joy to watch Thank you.
Teddy Wanderer Thanks for the comment, appreciate it! You’re spot on, the whole layout is very much inspired by the KWVR really. I’ll make sure to keep the videos coming. Cheers.
Hey Teddy, fancy seeing you here! Always fun to 'meet' subs on different channels. I'm hooked on this one, isn't it a beautiful layout and so relaxing to watch? :)
You are a poet. Just like a Giorgione's painting:The conciliation between human activity and the nature. I appreciate it very much.
Thanks very much!
I find here the condensed timeless time one neither grasp nor taste in reality. Thank you!
I like your passenger wagon weathering. It's a fine line between "straight off the factory floor" and "pulled from a disused siding after 50 years" and all your rolling stock treads it perfectly.
Thank you, appreciate it. You’re right it can be hard to get that balance!

Thanks!
At last a Model Railway that is not flat ! as the real landscape is not flat , Stunning scenery you have made 10/10
Thanks Graham!
A very beautiful layout u got there
Thanks very much.
I love that engine wered u get it
Very realsistic and captures that time magnificently..not overdone as some are
Thanks David!
You've managed to make your transition from your scenery to the backdrop flow nicely.
Thank you 😀
Inspiring me for my new southern layout! Lovely work and great use of terrain!
Thanks very much.
Absolutely Stunning layout. have to agree with everyone else. captured it perfectly.
Thanks Richard, appreciate it
Fabulous, your attention to detail is stunning. Thanks for sharing the wonderful Yorkshire Dales with us, I miss them. Kind regards, Paul.
Thank you very much Paul, and you’re welcome.
Like the Clickity Clack sound. That is such a beautiful layout.
Thanks very much, appreciate it.
The bit you got spot on is speed of the trains. Other videos I’ve scene have trains going way too fast.
Cheers Alan, yes I’ve noticed that as well!
The feel of realism is just mindboggling! I will be chewing through these videos in no time. Love it. Keep it up.
Thanks very much :-)
That's beautiful!
Thanks very much :-)
Mouldy Raspberry your layout has inspired me for my next one, and maybe to try an end to end !
Not the biggest layout but damn that has to be one of the best layouts I've ever seen and extremely detailed, definitely a layout to be proud off.
Thanks very much, really appreciate it!
Your layout is outstanding. No rivet counters can get near it for its magical realism. Outstanding work. JB.
Thank you very much John, appreciate it.
Just amazing!!
Thanks 👍🏻
I'm still gorging on your uploads... loving taking a break from work and enjoying a session admiring your beautiful layout. Inspiration galore! Thank you.
Thanks Andrew, that’s very kind of you to say so. Glad you enjoyed!
A cracking layout, your scenery skills second to none.
Thanks Richard
What a beautiful layout you have created there. To avoid the temptation of throwing lots of track down in favour of a sleepy backwater is to be commended. The contours flow so naturally and that rocky riverbed is just a delight. Please show us more. I've subbed in anticipation. Paul
Thank you! I'm really pleased I went with the simple sleepy branch line as well. Cheers for the sub.
Outstanding evocation of a rural railway...
Stephen Smith Thanks Stephen, appreciate it.
It makes a pleasant change that it is not yet another GW branch!
Such an inspiration!
Thank you, appreciate it :-)

Days before sound files but still great watch thanks Lewis.
Thanks Tony. First ever video of this layout!
What a beautiful layout. I recently watched a show called Oh Doctor Beeching on my computer and this layout reminds me so much of that show that I could almost see those characters running around the station. Excellent job.
dannydanbo58 Thanks very much!
The scenery is stunning, really good job, fantastic details and the weathering on the track looks really good.
Thanks very much. I've always found the track quite tricky to convincingly weather without overdoing it, so glad you think it looks good!
Superb.
Thank you!
That’s a brilliant layout, very nice 👌🏻
Thank you Mike.
Really nice layout - icing on the cake would be sound.
Thanks John

Thanks very much!
Stunning.
This. Blown away and inspired. Make more videos.
Thank you !
You must have a huge loft
This layout is like travelling back in time
Thanks mate. The baseboards are mounted between the V shaped roof supports so they can run the whole length of the loft.

Oooh that's clever
When I get a house I better remember that :D
Excellent job! You really have captured it. Attention to detail is superb. Keep up the good work.

Thanks very much mate, appreciate it.
I mean it, if I can get to build a model it would contain that level of detail scenicly as well as operationally.
I love the layout. What backscenes are you using? I notice that you paint some yourself but others look like ID backscenes or similar? thanks
Thank you 😀 Yes, ID backscenes when this video was uploaded, but now they are mainly all painted.
Amazing, keep up the good work buddy
ImDaLad !! Thanks mate.
That tank engine reminds me of a Japanese National Railways 2-6-4 C11 Class.

Can I ask where did you get your cottage houses from? Are from Metcalfe or did you make them yourself. love to know. your setup for the cottage homes are great, my setup would almost in away will look like yours, as in the cottage houses part.

of with.
Its amazing what you have done in your video clips your the only person that I have followed on you tube.

Hi Brian. Yes the cottages are a Metcalfe kit, I just weathered them a bit using some Humbrol weathering powders. The country station was my first kit as well!
