Hello David mate love the scenery update you have done quite a bit considering how hot it has been over the last few months hopefully now it will cool down considerably, always love watching your great channel and content likewise I haven’t been able to run any trains either, hopefully on my next day off I will have a nice running session take care my friend I hope someone will be able to help with the DRAX wagon issues kind regards Danny 👍🏻👀👋🏻🤩
Hi Danny, many thanks for taking the time to keep watching my videos. Weather should cool down in September so we can get back into the loft and start running some trains. Darrell Deltic came back to me within a couple hours of me posting the video with a possible fix for the Drax wagons which worked for him so I will attempt this next week when I am off work for a few days. All the best Kind Regards David
Hi David, love the layout update. As you know I had these wagons but I got rid of mine sometime ago cause of the same issues you raised. I like you donr want to just look at them but run them but since I had so many issues with them I sold them on for something that worked properly. I had constant derailing problems with them. Like you said shame such a lovely wagon to look at.
Hi Susannah, thank you very much and I am glad you liked the update. Through one of my subscribers there may be a way to improve the bogie flexibility, so I will give it a try on a wagon at some point next week. Fingers crossed it works as I really love the look of these wagons. All the best David
Hi David, sorry I haven't commented sooner, I've been away from the scene for a while. Great update mate, the street scene looks really good. You've got loads of detail going on all over. Take care mate, all the best and speak soon. Lee
Hi Lee, hope you're doing ok mate. Thank you for taking the time to view the video and comment. It is very much appreciated. Hope you get back modelling soon as I am looking forward to seeing how you're getting on. Take care mate. David
Hi Dave, good to have you back sorry can’t help with the biomass wagon’s couldn’t get any when released but @Darrelldeltic idea sounds good looking forward to seeing how you get on with it cheers al
Hi Al, thank you for viewing the video. Definitely going to give Darrell's idea a go as these wagons are so nice, too nice to not use. All the best DAVID
Hi David, I have being watching your layout on & off! mainly due to being distracted (burning my dinner, phone, or something else never subcribed over the last few months). I live on a narrow boat so have very limited area to model (I have tried N gauge needing reading glasses + mag glass tooo small, OO9 yes but, not not my real interest, so gone back to a very simple OO station layout, ie a point to a siding with catch point) fiddle yard is Hornby platforms upside down, cut down to the leight of DMU or the old Peco loco lift SL/43 as my fiddle yard. when you say Ho people are small remember we are all different sizes, I am 5'8'' my ex didn't reach my shoulders and I am migit against someone who is 6'+ so HO on people does work but but buildings, Well unless there set well back another question.
Great update, I had a massive problem with my Drax wagons derailing constantly due to the restricted lateral movement on the bogies and as I’ve got a layout with inclines it got me thinking so I removed the bogies , gently pinched the clip together and used an insulated screwdriver to slightly enlarge the mounting hole to allow a bit more movement in the bogie, it was a bit of trial and error until they move a bit more freely, happy to say they’ve never derailed since , hope this helps
Hi Darrell, thank you so much for watching he video and also taking the time to get in touch with a fix. Will give it a try on a wagon when I can next get in the loft. All the best David
@@davidedwards6811 no worries David, like I say try a gentle squeeze at first so it clips back in gently without dropping out, they’re too nice a wagon to give up on 👍
Your bridge gurters might need a bit of rust. Not to much. Red lights a bit much it looks like a red light district. Though it doesn't sound like it , I love all your scenes. They are all well done.
Thanks Bob, Yes some more rust is needed, going slowly as previously I went mad with the rust and it looked awful. Totally agree with the red lights, going to swap them out ASAP. Cheers David
How do the bogies attach to the wagon body? Can you take them off and add a washer spacer on the pivot axel before you reattach? Just a thought. The bodie connection to the body is obviously too rigid. Good luck.
Hello, thanks for taking the time to comment. The bogies are attached with a plastic lug which pushes through a hole in the base of the wagon. The connection is so tight the bogies have no flexibility. I am considering adding a spacer to improve the clearance between the bogie and wagon.
@@warwickroadmodelrailway can you slightly enlargen the hole it goes through in the base of the wagon so the arm has more "slop"? That with a washer may help. 🤞
Great details on your bridges and a very busy town scene. I am thinking of building stairs from the street down to the platform, you have done a great job with that too. 📐
Your scenes are fantastic...you certainly have an eye for detail and great skill and obvious patience....
Thank you
Great update! Perhaps next to the B&Q you could have pallets of compost, top soil, bark chippings, stones etc :)
Great looking detailed urban scenes. A very interesting layout with a lot going on. Enjoyed watching your update Dave. Excellent stuff atb Graham 🙂
Thanks Graham, really appreciate your comments, means a lot. ATB David

have you tried magnetic couplings I think they also make a coach coupling witch is like a flexi type cored may help you out nice lay out
I had not even considered magnetic couplings, but will do so, thank you very much for the tip
