Hi we're Tash and Luke! The focus of our channel is everything to do with O gauge model railways from maintenance and track work to scenics and modelling. Please join us on our journey, working on this massive model railway, by subscribing to our channel.
Trading Engines at Over Peover
We have been looking to thin out some of the duplicate locomotive models we have. The owner is interested in a diverse array of engine styles and after having seen a few on a visit to a recent model railway show, was interested in adding a bit of diversity to the layout.

This is a walk round of an O gauge model railway that we are currently working on within the Cheshire area. It is a DCC layout, which we have the pleasure of helping the new owner maintain, in addition to hopefully developing and extending in the future. The layout has come with a number of locomotives and rolling stock, which are in a variety of running states that we plan to address in future...
.........Well now.......Wow! It's simply staggering!
Really enjoyed this and glad I found you as I’ve never seen such a set before, So much to look at the detail is awesome
Awesome layout, Really enjoyable to watch and massive layout with really good detail, Well done
The weathering looks just fine to me. Uncoupling: Have you seen the McKinley layout videos? They wanted uncoupling and coupling carried out on their digital controller, and they mastered it on an OO scale. I'm sure you could have something very similar in O gauge.
Excellent job, thanks
Hi, are you planning on selling anymore a4's or rolling stock, if so please let me know as I would have an intrest in potentially buying these
Fantastic. But just how do you keep it relatively clean?
I forgot, in terms of cameras, GoPro will fit nicely on a wagon and if you want to do some tech work, the glasses cameras would be an option, but only go upto 720p st the moment.
Thanks for suggestion, yeh glasses cams could maybe even get inside cab view!!
10000 diesel prototype, 10000 Hush-Hush and a Garrett wow, what a set to purchase
Agreed!
Such high end models that are being sold why would you bot display them on the track instead of just dumping them on the ballast? Such a shame to see high end loco’s being sold off, the whole point of Over Peover was to celebrate the East Coast. City of Wells and the Hush Hush looks abit rough!
A nice selection there. Walter Whigham is quite a rare A4 to find pictures of, it was at Kings X Shed.
Interesting! cheers Ed
Hi, Over Peover was built as a Eastern Region main line, so I guess that's why there were so many A4's, A1's and A2's............makes sense to thin out the duplicate ones and replace them with something else interesting. Wasn't the previous owner an agent for Golden Age models? might explain why there are so many A4's and Pullman cars on the layout. I think you have replaced them with some super locos, the Garrett looked especially mean! and the Hush-Hush lovely...............Surprising there wasn't the rebuilt loco on the layout already, looks like an A4 with 4-6-4 wheel arrangement still numbered 10000! Also but doesn't really matter as it was one of the loco's you sold, but the loco you described as an 8F was in fact a WD, War Department 2-8-0...........correctly an 8F Power Classification, but not what people think of when you say 8F, they think of the LMS 2-8-0 by William Stanier..................You did say let us know if we got anything wrong................Anyway, a great video, and mmmm a Class 50 with sound.............any plans? All the very best Dave.
Thanks for the Input,(and Corrections) Dave i would love a Class 50 with sound, im certain one day we will have one!
Great video that Garret and Hush Hush do look good. A good haul there .😊
Thanks Richard!
Don't worry about terminology, it really doesn't matter. There are too many Brits who criticize, nitpick and are pedantic. Americans are far more accepting. It's great to see young people getting into model railways. Can't be bad buying a house that comes with a 600k layout included.
Please don't repaint the blue engine - it's supposed to look 'tatty' and weathered.
Well done you guys, nice to see you. I have been watch this layout for some time. you are very lucky to be able to use a ready made layout. enjoy! If it was me, I would be like a kid in a sweetshop.
What a beautiful layout. Very well made video. I’ve n gauge, no room for o sadly. I have an o gauge kit built Thompson coach tho and a little static diorama for it, would like to see it going round here! Thanks for taking time with the videos, do you have any A3s ?
Welcome to our world where trains run 'on-time', you don't get 'run-over' crossing the road, and endless head-aches wth electrics, derailments, couplings jamming, a world that's never complete', and lots of 'International' fun and comradeship
Can you visit this amazing layout? I would love to visit.
Repaint in BR Blue next
Greetings from Brisbane Australia. Great to see a beautiful O gauge layout coming to life in good hands. I followed the famous Crewchster layout of the late Jack Ray for many years . I am now in 5 inch live steam but O gauge is really the KING of gauges.
D8234 was the Liverpool Street pilot and would never have got that dirty.
Perhaps the guy who was supposed to be cleaning her has on holiday for a few weeks! 😜
The class 15 looks great. "EFE" - "Eee-Eff-Eee", or "Exclusive First Editions" I think. I could be wrong though.
Thanks
Small over Ear headphone foam rubbers might be good to put over the speakers to get a more bass sound. Great railway, it is one of the best.
Thanks for the tips!
OPERATIONAL MINEFIELDS FOR MODELLERS ??? And the train starts on the wrong line ! That would get the signalman and the driver a "Form 1" charge immediately. Which also points the finger at one of the major failings of DCC, which is that you can run any train on any track & even have head on collisions. Something 12v DC equipment naturally prevents. Real railways of course included "Interlocking" to prevent such dangerous mistakes, which can be included on model railways if "TCC" (Track Circuit Control) wiring methods are used. TCC like the real railway requires "Track Circuits" & Relays not expensive chips to implement. It also reduces wiring overall by as much as 45% less than DCC requirements !!!! Happy Modelling 😝
Very true, DC does prevent some potential disasters. Thanks
I stick with DC, the wiring I see under DCC layouts is frightening. Did I get it wrong? When DCC came out it was claimed two wires were all you needed!
@@Phil-oj5nr Indeed Phil, but your not supposed to let the cat out of the bag ! "Two wires", was of course a clever commercial trick (By Hornby) to get many modellers to change to "Zero 1". All it did was wake the German & American manufacturers up to the existence of a new type of control system. They of course had a lot more money to throw at the new electrical concept, so introduced better quality "DCC" than Hornby. So Hornby "Zero 1" rapidly died. Of course "Two Wires" was a potentially very dangerous lie, as the initial Zero One could theoretically allow you to run up to 99 trains at any one time. And the amperage necessary for that many trains on 16v DC meant that either the Zero 1 controller, caught fire, or if you slipped out for a cup of tea, your house was likely to Burn Down. The London Fire Brigade were NOT amused (they had a number of house fires caused by Zero 1), and House contents Insurance companies excluded DCC (unless wired by a qualified electrician) from house fire payouts !!!!
With regards to the idea of automatic coupling/uncoupling, I'm still with the "hand of god" approach, particularly in "0" gauge. Any automatic couplings are ugly/unrealistic, whereas the 3 link type gives a realistic rolling stock distance between two items and also makes use of the buffers during slowing down and reverse shunting. I'm unable to comment on your last couple of questions/ideas, swapping locos, etc, because I think that this layout has been made and based with that particular time late 50's early 60's in mind. LMS locos in BR livery, yes, but has for the rest, no comment, but it's, unfortunately, not my train set. Please remember these are comments and not criticisms, other people will disagree with me and that's fine.
Yeh I was just thinking auto might be nice because its very difficult to reach into the station to couple/uncouple things.
@CheshireRailCraft Thanks for your reply. I can fully understand that, and in that situation, it wouldn't be easy. The larger the scale, the more the rolling stock is able to have more details, and therefore, any automatic coupling system would stand out more and be obvious. I don't envy your decision, but mine would be to leave be, a small inconvenience versus non prototypical looking, gets my vote every time. Even at exhibitions, when watching the 0 gauge layouts, you get so immersed in watching them running that you hardly notice the operator. But good luck, whichever way you go and remember to keep us updated as to any progress. 👍
It's always a pleasure to see this layout. With regards to the coaches' reallocation, I agree with Brian in your comments section, but also, I think that a new locomotive would be brought to the end of the train and the departure would then take place from that platform, the locomotive would then be released for servicing before being reused. It may even escape via the crossover point work at the end of the platforms, providing it wasn't too long of a train to cover such pointwork configuration. It would allow the station to be more proficient and accept more arrivals and departures. Extra coaches could be added or even removed depending upon their destination, so your little shunter can still be used, or should I say shunters because the black pannier tank could also be used in that capacity. It would make for some interesting shunting procedures.
All makes sense Laurence, thanks for the info!
Quality weathering videos are always worth making and watching imo. I like what you did with that class 15.
Many thanks!
love the weathering on the class 15 ,spot on
Thanks Nancy! Glad you like it
Great job you’re doing. Really enjoy you’re posts and the work put in. Well done.
Glad you like them Eric!
The weathering looks good. there's no need to go any further
Cheers Alan
Beautiful weathering on all your locomotives. Your content on the video is very well balance and informative. Keep it up 👍
Thanks for the support!
Your use of the shunter to pull out the arriving carriages and transfer them to the departure lines is spot on but the loco which brought the train in would not usually be reattached onto the coaches for an outgoing journey straightaway as it would need servicing and would go on shed for turning, watering, perhaps coaling and also oiling round all the various lubricating points. If loco was booked for another duty it would then wait in the shed until its next turn. The arriving coaches would be taken on its departing journey by a new loco which would be ready at the shed exit area turned ready to depart or maybe in a spare platform waiting for the shunter to bring the coaches across and once the shunter has cleared it would back down onto the coaches so it’s ready to depart.
Thanks for the detail, makes much more sense now
You beat me to it. As this is modelled on a London Terminus such as Kings Cross, most of the trains arriving would be long distance. Therefore, the coaches would most likely be taken off to carriage sidings, cleaned and then when needed brought back into the station for a departing journey. The loco that brought the train in, would be free to then go to the shed to get coaled and watered before waiting it's next turn of duty. The suburban shed at Kings Cross was for commuter trains, where the operation most likely would be different. An arriving train of commuters would have another loco attached to the rear and that would be the return journey. The original arriving loco would then become the loco for the next arriving train's departure and so-on. Think of CJ Freezer's Minories model railway. Looking at the track plan from this KeyModelWorld link: fft-keymodelworld.b-cdn.net/sites/keymodelworld/files/styles/article_body/public/inline-images/img_24-1_4_0.jpg?itok=KCWSoE_2 You could haul the coaches to the sidings marked at 4 if the majority of your expresses arrive on the bottom half of the station. While the upper half is for the more intensive commuter operation, as described earlier.
Keep up the good work
Thanks, will try
Guys wonderful content please keep up your love and effort in bringing this layout back to its former glory.. Any chance of a 9F..
There is a 9F on the Layout so yes we can do that
@@CheshireRailCraft Brilliant look forward to seeing it with a long coal train.. Keep up great work as well
You two are doing a fantastic job 👍😀
Thanks Steve
Definite subscription, keep it up guys, cant make out the number on the white A4
Think it's 2509 silver link
@@CheshireRailCraft Thank you! Amazing vid! Excellent narration, music acceptable level lol keep it up guys, will share!
The white A4?
the a4 is silver,eg silver fox or maybe silver link,
Thank you for keeping the art of modelling alive
600 thousand, and you are asking for more money in subscriptions, some people will be waking up in the morning struggling to give their kids a breakfast,A bit of advice, show people the layout its really good, but don't mention the cost of the thing,, Just keep it real,
Where is this layout housed? It’s amazing.
Please reduce the background music as it is difficult to hear what you are saying
What a great Layout, I'm not sure I would call it a train set and those harden train fanatics might prefer you refer to it as a Model Railway but anyway, well done for putting this together and thank you
Don’t listen to those who preach you should do this and you shouldn’t do that…… as a struggling Artist there is that wonderful sentiment…..”ARTISTIC LICENSE”❤️❤️❤️
Very impressive. Thanks for the tour.
Our pleasure!
Great videos you two. Good luck with the maintenance and I’m really interested to see the development of your expansion project. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thanks, so are we!
Soooo good. Greetings from Germany
Thanks Christian
nice
Thanks
nice
Thanks
Your train room is truly amazing! Do you ever allow people to run their trains on your layout? Like a railway club?
We do do from time to time yes, we're part of the O Gauge Guild and will be organising it through them
