Nice one hope to see more in the new year. Thanks for sharing.
Plenty more to come 🙂
@@UndergroundEric Thanks very much for replying to my comment. More uploads in 2022 to look out for and supporting my channel..Take Care & Stay Safe.
Wow. Just saw this... You sold a GT-R to build your dream layouts. Respect!! Good luck with your new build. Love the London Underground trains!!
May aswell put the money into something i will actually use 🙂
Mammoth effort on your part Eric to put all these updates together.Highlights for me were the Chiltern 68 sound file & the Class 180 update.Look forward to exiting developments from you in 2022.Happy New Year!
Cheers mike, it takes a while to do!
The 68 sounds mega tbh!
Great video - not sure I’ve seen a modelling video with such a diverse range of skills on show! Incredibly impressive skill set Eric - makes you sick! 😂 Looking forward to seeing Harefield on tour in 2022!
Thats far too kind!! Yes fingers crossed for a 2022 show, it would be fantastic to show it off.
Hi. I really enjoyed your video and the excitement of your new tail chaser railway layout will be a must to watch.
Thanks. Lets hope so. Lots of work ahead
Great video love the sound files they sound amazing 🤩 and the new project looks great 👍
fantastic update very informative and interesting and varied too that was an hour well spent with a brew and a mince pie!
Thanks so much!!!
Good afternoon Eric!! First, hoping you had a wonderful Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year!!
Wishing you all the best 🙂
Great video! Enjoyed watching all of your work. Especially love the buildings and stations (I have a thing for London Underground architecture, particularly of the 1930s) and your attention to detail. Hope you do something with that CO/CP stock one day. I've always wanted a layout myself full of lovely flare sided stock! Loved travelling on those as a kid, and my uncle drove them (not jealous at all). Oh! Have another subscription!
Thanks for a very interesting post, full of great projects.
Thanks in return for watching itb
Brilliant Eric.
Your new shed is awesome. You will have a lot of fun in there. Just love your underground stock.
All the best
Duncan.
I cannot wait to get it!
Well, that knocked an hour out of my day. 😅 Great update though with lots going on. Catch up with you soon Eric. Paul
Ha sorry! Cheers for sticking it out though lol
Very impressive I have just ordered a Scandinavian Log Cabin for my HO gauge model railway, it will be built in March 2022
Ooh very nice! Bet you cant wait
On the MPD layout, the siding where the diesel is sitting is crying out to be connected to the shed road which has the buffer at the end. I think it would give more flexibility through the shed for movements, maybe a diesel fuelling point at the back of the shed. Great stuff Eric.
Ive fallen into the trap of putting track everywhere too often though, wanted a little space to see whats going on with the crane area ect
Looking great, the backscene blending is as good as I've seen and a very important part of the build. Thanks for sharing
Thanks, its something that ive tried really hard to get right
Underground Eric I agree. You can't get it right from all angles and settle for the most you can
@@ewoodrailway defo. Its a hard thing to perfect. Hopefully it does the job! 🙂
Thanks for the update - you've got a lot on your plate there!
Being able to send a train off and it's ages till it returns is always good. On an old DC layout back in the 80s, we had an 8 track staging yard that worked automatically: as a train came in on one track it would stop and the train on the next track would set off in its place, so it was ages before the first train reappeared, which was so satisfying. Obviously, it won't be long until you cut a hole in the new shed, so that a train can do a circuit of the garden before reappearing.😀
Always plenty of projects on the go here haha.
Wow that sounds awesome i bet it made it much nicer to operate.
Ha! Imagine 🤣
New subscriber here, its great to see someone who's into tuning cars and model railways. I started with trains as a boy, then got into japanese cars at about 17 then found my way back to the railways late 2017. I'm looking forward to the new layout
Excellent..I thoroughly enjoyed that, gave me some ideas about what to avoid. no critique of your work which I think , as I say excellent. Strength to your arm ,sir.!!
Thanks a bunch!
Your modelling and electric work with all the sounds and points and motorising locos and stuff like that is nothing short of spectacular, both you and Ollie are amazing at stuff like this and I hope to be able to model a proper layout in the future but it probably won't be as good as yours haha, 12 years I've been in the model railway hobby but I've still just got a couple of ovals of oo track on a base board with an old hornby trackmat underneath. But that's probably because my attention has move a g gauge a bit more, but I'm sure it will get done. Anyway enough about me, you and Ollie do an amazing job with everything you do, including the 5 inch gauge 👍😀👍
Thanks a bunch, its really nice to hear! All just comes with experience really. Ive always enjoyed taking stuff apart ect so it suits the hobby well! 🤣
Nothing wrong with having an oval of track but G scale sounds fun!
Brilliant update, Hare field is looking really good and I am liking the new layout too! Nice to see your LU stock stretching its legs too, on a fab layout!
Thanks mate, yeah about time they had a run!
Great video again mate, thanks for the mentions 👍
Cheers man people love the 68 file by sounds of it!
Amazing 00 collection I'm picking mine up again !
Yay awesome
Pleased to see those boards have gone to a good home - like the MPD idea! Jon
I deffo wasted no time in doing something with them 😁😁
Absolutely love this channel, it's always good to see something different done with model railways, loved every second of the video. Have a good new year, and thankyou for keeping us updated, it's appreciated!
Thankyou so much, i just love tinkering with stuff and messing about. Glad you like it!
I hope you 've got a good price for the GTR !!!! Love those cars! Cheers Onno.
Amazing update eric ,you definitely plant many seeds for me ,as i lived in harefield just off breakspeare road, im going for a underground theme probably ealing broadway as its got underground and local and mainline service and as you said, may use my modellers licence and have a underground terminus at denham, happy new year, i did stick through the whole video as all the other viewers would have done .................tony
Small world! Sounds like a fun plan mate i look forward to seeing it 😁
Hi Eric thanks for sharing your update, lodge (railway room) in the garden looks good. I first used my 12 by 8 shed for starting out on my layout but with no heating found it freezing in the winter I now have the whole of the loft it gets a little cold in the winter but no where near that of the shed (don't tell the wife I have a electric heater under my work bench in the loft which is ideal whilst doing repaint/repairs etc).
Hope you had a good Christmas just want to wish you and your family all the best for 2022, please remember to stay safe..
Cheers Barry. I will install a radiator for sure!
Brilliant update Eric, you’re a very clever modeller, so many ideas and not afraid of a challenge, really enjoyed the video, looking forward to the layout progress in the future, happy new year’s mate, cheers Darrell
Thanks Darrell, im just winging it really! 😛
Nice one Eric...that new building looks amazing..plenty of room for you and the layouts. Looking forward to the new year now with you. All the best.
Cheers mate cant wait to have some room!
amazing work as always. I'm glad you posted a long one - every month I grumble about your missing layout update 🤣
🤣🤣 cheers mate, was about time eh. I just do it at my own pace really
What lighting system are you using for the Chiltern 172, to get the up to date tail lights?
Its fitted with t0402 SMD’s all wired in to a Loksound decoder. All custom which is the problem as it takes so long
Great show! Love the update! What scale are you doing? I am new to the hobby and interested an O scale train set and another engine. One engine is two rail the other is 3 rail. Any idea where I can create a layout? I do know I cannot run either on the same track. I like your low profile buildings. I learned a lot. Thank you for making this video! All my best for a Happy New Year! Tony Montenigro from the USA.
Cheers! I model in oo scale which is the norm over in the UK.
Id have a look at other peoples layouts for some inspiration and go from there 🙂
Eric!! There’s the Potters Bar Toy and Train Collectors Fair from 10:00-14:00 on 23 January 2022.
Oooooh!!! Thankyou!!!
Your layout really does look good, nice models too. :) Gotham looks awesome too.
Thanks. Yeah Gotham is mega!
A great variety and as always informative and entertaining.
The garden building looks the business and you can’t beat an odd hour watching trains going round. What are you going to do for heating ? I use our garage and find a oil filled heater keeps the frost off and I’ve had no track issues.
Cheers Kev
Thanks! Yeah cant wait to do proper running sessions.
Heating wise most likely the same as you mate. Will 100% have a radiator!
good update eric keep up the good work on the layout thanks lee
Cheers
The new layout sounds great . Love your underground stock .
hopefully the EFE will be here soon. Don’t think I will have sound not straightaway anyway as it’s too expensive for the decoder.
What DCC controller do you use?
I’m currently looking at something better than my hornby elite .
Really I would like something wireless or with a long cable as I have cerebral palsy and I’m getting back problems so would be better with something I can sit back in my chair and still play trains
Thanks
Oliver
Fingers crossed it arrives soon and is good!
I use a Digikeijs DR5000 system with a TCS UWT-100 throttle. The throttle is mad money but nothing comes close!
Hi Eric, what firm will you use for a log cabin? Its an area I'm looking into aswell.
Those sound files are brilliant, great effort. I wouldn't have a clue how to do that stuff, I just buy the odd one or two!😂
I used london timber buildings. They have a base at the garden centre at stoke mandeville
@@UndergroundEric Cheers, Eric. Ill probably go the same route of timber building for my next layout at some stage.
Superb stuff mate
Thanks mate
A great idea, selling a normal car to give yourself more railway space. And as a matter of interest, how are you going to transport the new layout to shows?
Will need a van i think
Excellent as ever and looking forward to seeing how the layout develops into the logo cabin. If you are talking about Ruislip Lido area, for a bit of fun maybe you could add an 009 Lido Railway!?
Me too! Ha, that would be quite funny. Or go even smaller perhaps to get it as close as poss 😁
@@UndergroundEric one snag might be you have to model The Lido itself - don’t think even your massive new log cabin is that big lol!
#VariousMultipleUnits - loving this video Eric. Cannot wait to see Harefield and all this in its new home Log Cabin max'd out to 17ft. Its gonna be phenomenal. Thanks for the shout out and good luck with all this, I'm def a HUGE fan. Danny...
Come and see it in person some day 🙂
how did you get that class 483 and the A stock and where can I buy one???
A stock is a radley models kit. 483 is a converted EFE
Awesome video
Many thanks!
Pretty awesome work there.
Any of your work viewable to visitors?
The main scenic part of the layouts will be exhibited at some point 🙂
Brilliant electric train sounds!! I assume that they come from London Transport?
Yes majority are from the real units
This is a fabulous layout, Eric!! I’m in awe of your ability to make the layout as good as it is!! You must have used at least a ton of wood to create what you have so far.
Thanks a bunch! Just a bit lol
Can I have a loop of your intro music or the name of it?
Hi its from the apple music library in imovie if i remember
@@UndergroundEric ok thanks
@@UndergroundEricsorry but do you remember what it was called?
Great vid buddy 👍👍👍👍
Thanks
can you send me the link to what chassi you use for the A60 stock
Its a full radley models kit
merry christmas eric
You too!
Hey is that one of my c stocks
Can u do a high speed train vid?
If u can, will ya do a apt vid
I havent got an APT i sadly cancelled buying one.
I will get my HST out once the layout is extended though! 🙂
For ‘realism’ purposes, fit one end of the class 180 with a broken windscreen wiper as they break a lot.
Ha! The windscreens themselves were bad enough! I did plan to fit a smoke unit as if it was on fire!
What the hell happened to metro model’s model trains because they disappeared
You we're right it is a horn
😬😬
Just a wee idea for the extra space you have in your new cabin, how about an N gauge layout?
Good joke! 🤣
@@UndergroundEric That will be a no then, life doesn't stop at OO?
@@ianhamilton8272 haha, i thought you may have seen the guy on my layout graffitiing ‘n gauge sucks’ hence the comment 🤣
Its just not my cuppa tea, i like modding locos and adding lighting/sound ect which just isnt really doable in N. I did have some a while back but sold it on, aswell as trying out O gauge.
i know a lot of us "modellers" have a lot of projects going on and what have you.....-) but i don't know how you have time to "go to work" or let alone time with your gf is a mystery to me....:-)....but hey.... respect.....and a happy new year, too...:-D...
Haha, you arent the first to say that! Im a train driver in real life so my shifts are all over the place and i often do lates/nights so if im home when charlotte is working then its train-oclock!
My heart broke seeing the graffiti. XD
🤣🤣 just a bit of fun lol
@@UndergroundEric XD
