All sounds good to me John. It's sods law I think you were after 😂 the mill will be small......it's n gauge lol. I've great memories of the river goyt having worked there for 14 years as the national park area ranger for the Upper goyt valley, although I was based near to the cat and fiddle inn. Looking forward to seeing this develop cheers Andy
Hmmmm Andy, Andy, Andy WOT in the name of sanity are you like??? I was avoiding saying such a 'name' teacher remember. Anyway hopefully it should go well. Just checked on price of Woodlnd Sncs deep pour its £37-45per pack Id need two OUCH. Think Ill use another brand.
@@piccadillymodelrailways sorry John told off again. I use WWS deep pour, I've found it both easiest and the best product. I've tried a few now cheers Andy
Excellent John - clever stuff in the way you have engineered the area to all lift out in case access is required. Looks on camera still to be a good size for the actual building. Looking forward to seeing part two of this build. Cheers Euan
Great to see the progress you’ve made in this area John. It’s coming along very well. Look forward to seeing your next update. Thanks for sharing. Roy.
*_Grabs a pint and a bucket of popcorn and sits in a comfy chair_* - Ok John, get on with it then! Lets see how your wonderfully creative mind works this time! 😆 Oh and did you mean a Buttressed wall? 🤪 Seriously though, nice work as always and I'm looking forwards to seeing the finished article as always!
Hi John! Love how you've gone about making the mill area removable! My plan is to do something similar in certain areas of Shelfington, so I can work on them away from the layout, but then fix them in place permanently once complete(ish)! We'll see how I get on, as you make it look easy! Of course, there's a bit of track to lay first! Lol! All the best, Ian.
Thank you. Yes part of the idea is to do exactly that, does make life easy during building process. However, these three sections are designed to cover the tracks so they need to be removable in case of train fails, track issues etc etc etc. Although generally good now, this area has caused issues in the past as it has the tightest curves on the layout.
Hi John, yes it will be. It is a very complex area with so many facets. I will simplify things a little as I have to blend the area into the surroundings, which are features miles apart, so that should be good. I’ve bought a cutting machine to make the building as there are endless windows. Life is just too short, lol thanks again John and so lovely to finally meet you albeit briefly.
Hi John 👍 well that looks really good and the way it’s fitted into the scene you can’t tell it’s removable. Thanks for sharing and stay safe my friend Andy
Thank you Deano, I always use similar methods, plaster bandage, sculptomold are quite expensive. The masking tape is £3.50 per and newspaper tend to come free. The results are very similar in the end.
what a wonderful update😃👍 you dont hang about Mr Piccadilly Model Railways sir, im mightily impressed with your progress/builds and improvements on both layouts over the time, ive been hooked watching your talent/skill/enthusiasm and have learnt so much watching your video's.thankyou for sharing sir👍👍👍
Hi, thank you for some lovely comments there, much apprdciated. I really enjoy building the layouts and its a great way to forget the reality of life for a while.
Hi John-Great progress and this is going to be a very nice focal point . As you say it can only be a representation of the real thing but as with the viaduct very impressive. Cheers Kev
Thanks kev, it will be a very interesting project. Im currently still working on the background landforms, need to get that done first which will be me the space available.
Thanks Chris, yes 4 lots of builders/fitters. Back fence was repaired too. I’m still working out how the lift outs will fit together other bits and bobs. One step at a time.
Good to see the progress John and how you go about building the landforms for easy removal. I suspect you will get quite a big building in that space even if you have to cut it back from the original. It is so nice when you can start to see it taking shape, not least because it proves it can be done. Stephen
Thanks Stephen, I so wanted to have started the building this week too, but you know how life has a habit of doing its own thing, lol oh well... Im glad to have started, hopefully the mill should be fairly close to the original in size , but time will tell... thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Thank you, I think access is most important when considering covering the tracks. If there is going to be a train fail, chances are it'll be in the covered section.
It sounds like good sense!! A mill sounds like a good wheeze!!
Looks good, looking forward to seeing the mill build.
John, this area is quite complex now but so much to look at once completed.
I must be mad lol, big one thing at a time, should be ok

Thanks Euan, itll be a great project to get stuck into. The building with be around 3/4 of full size.

Lol, what you like? Im guessing wall is called a wall then, ha ha. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.

Hi John, looking forward to seeing how this turns out, I’m sure the Mill is going to be a really interesting project.

Thanks Andy, so glad you liked it, should be an enjoyable build.
Great work i really like the method you used and its given me some great ideas thank you John.

Hiya John, you got the builders in again I see. Great little plan and you just know it will look good when done.. All the best, Chris
Thanks Chris, yes 4 lots of builders/fitters. Back fence was repaired too. I’m still working out how the lift outs will fit together other bits and bobs. One step at a time.
Another great project, John! I just love the way it's pure theatre, clever set design, optical illusion and imagination. It all makes the dream work!
Thanks Karl, yes I guess it is a form of theatre.

The Manchester Piccadilly area was known for its cotton mills, so a mill is a very appropriate addition to your layout!!
Hi, yes I think you are right.
Progress again and with easy removal should prove worthwhile in the long run. Looking forward to seeing your next clip as you push on, well done John
Thank you, I think access is most important when considering covering the tracks. If there is going to be a train fail, chances are it'll be in the covered section.
A good base to work from.👍
Thank you! Cheers!
