Ness River Railroad
Австралия
Добавлен 10 окт 2018
A freelance N scale railroad in my shed. Running UP and NS power with a few specials thrown in. Inspired by a friend who has started their own channel documenting their hobby I’ve decided to start this page to document the building of my railroad. I’m by no means an expert, I’m very much an amateur and this page is not for advice. The name of the railroad is after my little kelpies River and Ness, the wee sheep dogs that never grew. I initially chose UP power as I’ve always liked US railroads and when I was a kid a friend bought me a HO scale UP SD45. I’ve gotten into NS after many hours rail fanning on RUclips.
N scale layout update. 2.5k subs! Extension completion is very close and I think it has a name.

And just the opposite here, had to switch to long pants this morning until it warmed later in the day when I switched to shorts, so its changing from summer to fall. I don't see any sidings.
It is ugly under there and we just saw it. My approach is to make my tunnels look good inside for when some one comes up with a micro video camera for N sale. Just add some black paint. looking really good thought. Love all the trees. You look cold.
I will paint it all inside at some stage. It was a bit chilly the day I filmed. Winter gave us one last blast before Spring.
Dave, looking awesome. I love the track cleaner and the vacuum car. Keep the videos coming and congrats on 2.5k subs. Ken
Thanks Ken, like I said, using that vacuum car has worked wonders.
Nice work mate! Looking fantastic!
Looking great David! Thanks for the update!
Incredible work! I love your tree work as well man. A huge milestone for your channel. Well deserved!
Thanks mate, I set up a little production line in the shed to make trees. My process is getting better and so are the results.
Nice!! Use magnets for holding your insert or maintenance tunnels.
You know I always always wondered on those track cleaners why there’s no yellow caution, light LED light flashing put on those to kind of mimic that you got construction going on our maintenance going on on the rails?
Hello David! Nice to see you back, and with a great update! Bertie's Bluff is perfect! Your stonework and tree building are excellent! So realistic, and the colors are perfect! Hope all is well with you and your family. See you next time.
Thanks Mike, I’m glad you like it. We are all well here. Winter felt a bit long this year, we’re glad to see Spring.
Nicely done,,thanks for sharing,,😊
Very nice as always
🤠✌️🚂💭
Great progress. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers. Thanks for watching.
Looks fantastic
Cheers.
I always love a good tease to make us come back. Looking good with the detailing. See you with the next one. :)
I won’t start the modifications of the other area until this section is done.
Really starting to take shape now. Looks fantastic. I am just starting to build my N Scale railway. What thickness cork do you use and where do you buy it from? Also I looked up the rail cleaning wagon and tried to buy one but they don't post to WA. How did you get yours? Cheers Gavin.
That’s 3mm cork, I purchased from Branchline. I used 2mm in the main yard. I don’t recall the brand right now. Spotlight have cork sheets. I got the Tomic cleaner from Amazon.
Hi David , hope you’re doing well. Congratulations on your subscribers. I really like what you have done to the area looks great. Trains run just fine until you film them or showing them to someone. Always like seeing your trains running. Thanks for sharing. Have a good week. 😎😎. 👍
There’s nothing surer 😆
For the time in between videos, and the huge amount of work you have done... Very commendable... AND NICE WORK...
Thanks Daryl, It’s easy to forget that sometimes, cheers.
Yeah hi. I love the way you have made the healex , beautiful mate. From me bj n scaler.
The layout has really been shaped my desire to avoid a proper helix.
Locos tend to lose traction in turns, especially on helixes. Try some Bullfrog Snot as directed for better traction. I bet it will clear up that bit of slippage you experienced at the end of your video
I have heard mixed reviews on Bullfrog Snot.
Congratulations, David! It’s really neat to see the trains running.
Thanks so much. It’s great to have them running well.
very nicely done ! the different points of view on the video ad to the interest of this portion of th layout
There’s about 4 good vantage points on this area, I’m pretty happy.
Berties's Bluff sounds like a winner!
Great 👍
Looking great, excellent work!
Cheers.
Great job looks fantastic keep up the great scenery work.
I enjoy making the scenery.
Very interesting rock walls...almost look like quarry walls. Very nice detail and weathering!
I’m glad you like them. Quarrying is the look I was going for so that’s great.
Awesome layout
Thanks.
Great looking layout. Great job.
Thanks Dwight, it’s certainly come a long way since you’ve been following.
@@nessriverrailroad1299 Yes it has !
Love your work and narrative.
🐈🐈 luckily Bertie is less destructive than your boys would be 😆
Cool lay out, nice touch of bushes and trees, as well as the rock formations. What brand is the bronze colored cleaning wagon?
Thanks for watching. I hope this link works. I bought through as retailer, not direct. www.centerline-products.com/
I love your layout! I still haven't been able to start my build. Retired 1 year ago and have had 3 major surgeries during the year. Your videos keep me interested, and give me ideas and inspiration. Thanks again for sharing!
I hope you’re on the mend. My jaw surgery last year knocked me back mentally for a very long time.
The reasons for the train stalling or hiccup is because people are watching, it's that old murphy's Law thing going on "If it can go wrong it will" especially if you are showing if off or having an Op session. We all suffer from it. HaHa.
Bloody Murphy
How it started. N scale layout update, the extension is up and running! ruclips.net/video/_za5VePRLcc/видео.html
Wind keeping you busy mate? Hope youre all safe.
It’s certainly been stressful. Luckily we’ve dodged the worst of it.
Always enjoyed long trains since I wad kid in the 70s hope to be able to find a place to run my 30 85 ft box cars.
Where is Bert?
Bertie is always near by.
What is the cats name?❤
Nice update David, some nice additions to the roster. What is the size of your layout room again? - Steve
Hi Steve, my room is approximately 7m x 3m with a bit missing where the stairs come up.
@@nessriverrailroad1299 Hi David, thanks for the info. We’re moving and finally getting a dedicated space for my train layout in the basement and it’s a bit bigger than that. Just trying to get ideas for the next one (or keep the existing and modify). Might even go HO if I can make it work. Thanks again. - Steve
@CajonSub sounds great. I feel to go HO with what I like to run I’d never have a room big enough. Basements under houses aren’t very common in Australia.
@@nessriverrailroad1299 David, I feel the same way. Would love to do it but limited depending on the available space. But getting older, HO is more manageable (and they have better details). - Steve
Very impressive layout! That sure as hell looks like a lot of work, so very cool to see it all works out in the end. Looking forward to your next updates!
It certainly has been a lot of work. I’m glad you like it.
Great update video. Enjoyed it and subscribed!
Thanks.
Just awesome David..... good to see you bud.
Like the videos. Need to see more Bert
He seems to make fairly regular appearances.
Great update Dave, was great to actually meeting you at the convention, it definitely was a great weekend of Aussie N scale nerding 🤓 With the U50, you may need to change the wheel sets, Kato make low profile ones that fit most older locos, I've changed old Life-Like ones and it makes all the difference on c55.
Thanks mate, it was great to meet in person. I’ll take a look at the a Kato site for wheels.
Great update Dave, was great catching up with you at the convention, it was a great weekend of nerding🤓 With that U50, Kato make low-profile wheel sets which should fit, may help with the c55 track, I've fitted them in various non Kato units and it really makes a difference.
@Vman7757 for some reason your comment won’t come up. What Kato wheels did you use on the U50?
Is the like a Clydesdale shown at TS 6:05?
That’s our young girl Lyra, she’s a Gypsy Cob which is kind of like a scaled down Clydesdale.
You might be interested in South Alberta Rail. He is strictly N Scale and has a very good channel and layout. Well he did anyway... NOTE: He hasn't posted much on the general-side, but unfortunately has chosen to go the Patreon route and forsake us regular modelers.
I know his channel, it’s an amazing layout and I love his long trains.
Hi David , thanks for the information on the clip on magnifier. Always like seeing trains running. That locomotive is on the odd looking side. Looks like it’s running OK but sounds rough. Nice looking horse’s. Thanks for sharing. Have a good weekend. 😎😎 👍
