    You’ve used that awful term “plug socket” in your otherwise great video. Please don’t. There are plugs and there are sockets - there’s no such thing as a plug socket. Use mains outlet or mains socket; plug socket is just so cringe worthy to an electrical engineer (and model railway enthusiast)!

    Hi there Mark. I first watched this 2 years ago and it triggered me to start thinking about the hobby and building my first layout. 2 years on I'm completely hooked and, having also watched your other videos - particularly the 'time lapse build', my build is progressing nicely in my loft; very much inspired by your design i.e. a DC 'roundy-roundy' with through station, terminus, TMD and various storage areas underneath. Knowing the time yours took to get to this point has really helped keep my patience in check and getting into the hobby has done wonders for my general wellbeing! So, sincerest thanks for sharing your wonderful model!

  • @terryflynn8830
    @terryflynn8830 5 месяцев назад

    Excellent tips but if you use INOX mp3 you do not need to clean wheels.I have been using INOX for about 40 years. The dirt ends up on the track and becomes conductive. There is some concern about traction tyre life being shortened, but I have not seen any proof of this yet.

  • @AussiePom
    @AussiePom 5 месяцев назад

    I think WD 40 Contact Cleaner is better that Inox cleaner because the former evaporates whereas the latter leaves a greasy film on the track and if you have gradients it may hinder the tractive effort of locos to climb those gradients. How to you clean carriage and wagon wheels.

    • @terryflynn8830
      @terryflynn8830 5 месяцев назад

      I found WD-40 only worked for a short time. Yes tractive effort is decreased if you use INOX or similar oils, but you do not need to apply it frequently and you never need to clean wheels. I just designed my layout to have sensible gradients and run scale length steam era Australian trains.

    Brilliant locos. I had one Coal Sector and one BR Blue both turn up on Friday. They are great runners and well detailed. The only bugbear is the fans which should work on DC according to the manual actually do not work with the setup included 🤔

    • @ModelRailway

      They are lovely loco’s! I read on RMweb that others have noticed the fans not working on DC and it maybe a setup issue with ESU. I’ll keep an eye on the thread in case an update with different settings are announced. I must confess that I didn’t notice the fans not running on mine at first while running around! 👍

    So great to see long trains going round a curve without the "uh-oh it's a model" giveaway of coaches at almost 45 degree angles to one another. I know its unavoidable in many situations, but to see your trains with only a gentle bend between them is so good! Wonderful modelling. Thanks for sharing and for the inspiration.

    • @ModelRailway
      @ModelRailway Год назад

      Many thanks for the lovely comment, and glad you like the longer sweeping curves! I always liked seeing trains go round Queensville curve (just south of Stafford station) and I know what you mean about some layouts having curves that appear too tight (although often understandable due to space constraints) … so when I designed DP I tried to have larger sweeping curves. While looking better, they are also often more reliable. I also included transitions between the straights and curves. To accommodate the larger radius curves, I included the board cut-outs that lower in each corner to allow good access, also for different viewing angles. Glad you enjoyed! Kind regards, Mark
