@@modelrailwaynoob There’s more to it than many would realise. I have occasionally listed mine for sale but then ended up keeping it due to the amount of work that went in to converting it. The only bit I didn’t complete was the cameras on the ends. Do you happen to know if these are available as a 3D print anywhere? Good luck with your project 👍

@GoodfordModelRailway Hi, no I haven't seen them as 3d printed but the camera is in my kit. Did you just not include it at the time?

@@modelrailwaynoob think it came as part of the kit I bought but had got to the point of being done with the project so just didn’t ever get round to do it and think the bits ended up in the bin! I did look at some photos of the unit in the year I model (2020) and the unit seems to not have a camera however I suspect this was just on one end.

@GoodfordModelRailway I have seen versions where you could see a mounting bracket but the camera had been removed.

@@fraptorgt7717 some of the track is soldered to wired which connect to a DCC bus. Sections of track are connected with standard fishplates.

@@petertownsend8276 OO gauge.

@@transportsupreme4756 it certainly is, the lights are from Train Tech I think. 👍

@@GoodfordModelRailway would you recommend it for a beginner or is it quite technical to make

@@transportsupreme4756 it’s a relatively low cost kit with a small number of pieces. Instructions are pretty good if I remember rightly. Personally, my attitude to modelling is to just give these things a go, what’s the worst that can happen… 😀

@@GoodfordModelRailway thanks

@@GoodfordModelRailway I’ve just started the hobby and enjoying it so much and you layout is incredible

@@AllensTrains very good point and one that I forgot to mention in the video. In previous layouts I did the track detailing such as lineside trunking and cabinets before any other scenery however wanted to get an almost finished look on this layout as quickly as possible so the track detailing and signalling will be done when there’s no more visible baseboard. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍

@@GoodfordModelRailway Are you going to go for colour light or semaphores? I find the drawback with colour lights ls they are often not visible from the operator's position!

@@AllensTrains I think I’ll have a couple of normal signals on the left of the layout before the junction to protect it, plus one on the branch line and then just one for each track (possibly on several gantries) at the end of the platforms. Part of the reason I haven’t done it yet is due to wanting to get this stage of automation finished as I will be linking signals to ABC braking sections too so when a signal is changed to red (point is also switched to go against the trains direction) it will also activate the ABC braking section. I have considered semaphores however I want to keep the layout close to the year of 2020 as possible when I believe most major UK stations would have primarily been colour light.

@@robertbrown9486 it was the office blocks company that I struggled with, the flats are metcalfe and readily available. I assume that it’s the offices you are referring to 👍. It’s a great shame as they’re quick and easy to build and although you could argue that for what you get they’re over priced, the actual results I would say are reasonable value for money.i do want to buy more however I got frustrated last time! Have you come across any other manufacturers who do pre-cut low relief which are taller than 30cm? I can’t believe no one produces an inner town/city scape backscene either.

@@kevg707 think they were just from AMZ, they do come with glass doors but I found they weren’t particularly secure and didn’t fancy them falling on the layout 😂

@@aberfordwest4003 are you referring to the grey wall which supports the canopy in the platform closest to the camera? If so that’s a great idea and certainly eliminates the restricted view issue. I did almost put some stabling tracks over the road in front of this wall to eliminate the issue of limited view but your solution is much better so will definitely be looking in to it. Cheers, Dave 👍

@@GoodfordModelRailway yes, good luck and I’m looking forward to seeing how you do it in the next video!

@@Freddie-iq2wi Goodford 👍

Really looking at doing the shuttle thing on the layout… are you using Loksound decoders not sure if they are compatible ? Or does it need to be a certain decoder, thanks

@@jamiemurney9857 the ESU Loksound V5 decoders are capable of doing ABC braking and ABC shuttle. I have these fitted to over 90% of my locos, the others are Zimo, which are also capable of doing it. The ESU lokprogrammer is extremely useful for setting it up.

@@GoodfordModelRailway Thanks.

@@andrewbergman9315 it’s on the list of things to do however I need to do all of the track detailing such as cable trunking, AWS grids etc beforehand 👍

Thanks Darrell! Your layout is great, where did you get the background of the houses/town from? Cheers, Dave

@@GoodfordModelRailway ahh cheers mate, are you talking about the back of houses above the station or the hillside ones?

@@darrelldeltic807 think it’s on the hillside?

@@GoodfordModelRailway it’s the Gaugemaster GM704 large village measures 2744x304mm if that helps

@@darrelldeltic807 perfect, thanks! Sure you are aware but I can’t comment on your videos as you have them set as “made for kids”. Cheers, Dave

Thanks! Running double headers has been an ongoing issue. I use various methods. Many of the locos have their drive train removed and motor disconnected so they are dummies (like the Harry Needle 20). I did it this was as trying to speed match Zimo and ESU decoder is almost impossible! For the West Coast double 33 and 57 combo, this was tricky. The second 33 is a dummy with no sound and drive shafts removed. Tried that with the 57 too but kept uncoupling so just spent some time speed matching it with the 33. I set all locos to linear speed curves anyway so as long as the max speed is the same it becomes relatively straight forward. The final method is the easiest and I use the same decoder and same settings, sometimes a bit of tweaking is needed but generally they run well this way. Hope this helps 👍

Hi, I think they were railtrack wagons and I rubbed down the blue railtrack paint and then masked and resprayed the yellow stripe. Then just added the Network Rail transfers. It took some time to do and I did it because when received someone had tried painting them and had done an awful job so they needed stripping back anyway. Thanks, Dave

Great running video, Dave. You have an interesting range of varied stock. Layout is beginning to look good too! Cheers, Karl.
