Hi Fim, many thanks foe watching and commenting. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Michael, The Fire station in my home town is located in a residential area, the one on my layout is very similar so fits in nicely. I also bought 90% of my layout including many Locos and rolling stock from Hattons around 12 years ago. As you know I mostly buy used Locos and rolling stock in OO and Ho scales and repair them as required to save money. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏

@@paulvozman842 Hi Paul yes it was a great shame when Hattons went,unfortunately for me there is no Model shop anywhere near me.There used to be two I could use but unfortunately they closed down,probably because people used Hattons instead of the shop,my bad I guess 😭🚂 Yes i do tend to buy used stock now and I got given all that H/O items if you remember 🚂🚂👍

Hi Andre, glad you liked the video. Have a great week. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Alberto, I am happy the tunnel track is working,now I can run more of the larger Locos. I think you saw the 2 black Locos the 8F and 9Fs these do look good together. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi, A bt of hard work but finally have all my tracks working again and can run Locos like before. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Gert, thanks for watching, glad you liked the Trains. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Tim, After a lot of stretching,straining and swearing I finally have all my tracks avaiable again. I like the larger steamers and can now run them on my outer track more often. Have a great week, Cheers, Paul. 👍👍🙏

Hi Erik, I went crazy and bought a number of New Hornby Locos around 10 years ago, I am glad I did as the prices now are sky high. I made a housing construction site near the gas works which is hard to see unless I focus in that direction. I really like Metcalfe buildings, they are very easy to assemble and look very realstic, I spent many hours making them. Thats good you can buy them from Holland at reasonable prices as they can be expensive now. I will film the area around the Gasworks in another video. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏

@ Hi Paul, you are running a lot of trains simultaneously. I guess you ate using different controllers for different parts of the layout? How do your trains cross from one part to another, and drive from one controller to another?

@@railway187 Hi Erik, the track where the trains run through the tunnel behind the main station is powered by a Bachmann Speed controller,. My Branch lines and middle tracks are powered by a Gaugemaster 2 track controller. I cannot run 2 trains on the same track but by using insulated points I can seperate the tunnels from the bridge lines and using station loops can store locos untill I switch the points. Points simply redirect the current from one track to another as long as they are insulfrog types. I hope this helps. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

@ Thanks Paul! On my new layout I will have to think on how to isolate both loops. I will use two separate Piko controllers and I thought to isolate in between the two points. I will experiment before fixing my track 🙂

Hi Steven, I am glad I bought the Hornby 4-6-2 Locos they are great runners. The Hornby 8F and 9F Locos are superb no problems at all with them and luckily the dreaded Mazar rot hasnt taken hold. The Franco Crosti version is an interesting version of the 2-10-0s bought new almost 9 years ago at a reduced price. I made my layout with a few bad points mountings luckily I managed to reconnect the linkage on the tunnel section after a lot of straining and swearing. Had a few beers after to relax. Have a great week. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Fim, many thanks for your kind comments. Cheers, Paul 👍👍🙏

Hi James, I kept putting off repairing the points linkage but gald I did now all my tracks are working. Akll the best, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Windy, It good to have all the tracks working, I can run more trains now. I have the new points. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi, thanks for watching and the kind comment. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Mystic, I have 4 of the Hornby 0-6-0 Hunslets, they are very smooth, quiet runners. I am happy how the Piko Coaches turned out with the changes of liveries they suit my layout much better. Thanks for watching and the kind comments its most appreciated. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi, thanks so much for the kind comment. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi, I am happay to see you liked my video. These Hornby 0-6-0 Locos can run very smoothly and quietly,great for shunting or tight curves. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi, thanks for watching and the kind comment. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

thanks

Hi Phil, I really appreciate your very kind comments and support, glad you liked the video. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Alberto, Its amazing what some paint can do, the Piko Coaches look much better now. I do have a large collection of vehicles spread out around the layout. Thanks for spotting them not many people notice them. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Steven, I am very pleased how the Coaches turned out, they seem to be running very well with the 0-6-0. I struggled with changing one of the points as I had to stretch too much which gave me back pain. I am happy my Branch line is running again the effort was worth it. I dont envy you rewiring the layout, puppies are great fun but they cause all sorts of problems. I hope you get your layout up and running, I like to see your amazing collection of trains in action. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

@paulvozman842 I've got the outside and inside lines going again. I've got a bit to show as well.

Hi Anthony, Its amazing what a bit of paint can do, the Coaches do look much better. I had a difficult time fitting the new points, a bit old for stretching and crawling under the layout but happy its done and I got my Branch line back.. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi James, It was hard to crawl under the layout and even harder changing the broken points but the effort was worth it. I am happy the Branch line is running again with its new Coaches. Have a great week. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Andre, thanks so much for watching and commenting, glad you liked the video. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Fim, thank you very much for your support and kind comments. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi, I really am too old to be crawling around under the layout but glad I found the issue and got some points changed. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Chris, thanks for watching and the kind comments I really appreciate it. I am so happy my Branch line works again. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Darren, Thanks so much for watching and for the kind comments its most appreciated. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Windy, I am very happy the points are changed and all is working again. I like the coaches, another paint job on the other 2 red and whites is on the cards. Cheer,s Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Erik, I have quite a few Green Piko Coaches and put the red and white ones at the back of the drawer as I didnt know what to do with them. I am glad I changed the livery on them I might change the others later. These Hornby 0-6-0 Locos are perfect for tight curves and run extremely well. I can now run my Cement trains again now the track is repaired. Have a great week. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Gid moaning Mimi, the Briss bond is to droon oot Madam Edith wen she sings. Rene Atwa, licking throo sum powerful Gistoopo booniculars.😂

Hi Tim, Its so much easier to reverse these Ho Coaches around the tight curves. Looks like my heritage railway will work well in the tourist season. Thanks for your support and kind comments. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Fim, thanks for your kind comments. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Michael, as Captain Mainwaring said "I was wondering when someone would spot that one". I tried to add as mch detail as I could to the Stations, "and theres more" as Jimmy Cricket would say. I was lucky to find the LMS Jinty its a perfect match for the Coaches. I dont know why Hornby and Lima made their couplings so big, thats why I tried to shorten them. I did Google to find the age of the Loco maybe I will enter the numbers on the box and try again. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏

Thanks for coming

Hi Alberto, I had to test the clearance of the buffers before I glued the couplings in their new location. I think the gaps are not too bad now, I dont know why Hornby made them like this. Thanks for your very nice comments. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Erik, I was lucky to find this Jinty in LMS livery ate a very good price. I dont understand why Hornby made these huge couplers, I know they wanted to save oney but could have designed them much better. I wanted to shorten mine without spending any money, they look a lot better than before. Have a great week. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Tim, There are a few ways to reduce the gaps but I thought I would do it the cheapest way. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Andre, many thanks for the kind comments. Have a great week. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi James, I dont know why Hornby made these coaches with these terrible couplers. I think they look a bit better now. Thanks for the kind comments. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Steven, I could have closed the gap between the coaches more but would have needed to remove the buffers and fit shorter ones. A lot of work just for a few mm. NEM knuckle couplers would be good to install I would like to see them when done. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Fim, many thanks for your kind comments. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Phil, thanks for your support and kind comments they are most appreciated. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Windy, these modified couplings make a big difference to how the coaches look when running. The LMS Jinty is a great runner and looks good with the coaches. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi, thanks for the very kind comments, I am glad you liked the video. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Fim, thanks for watching and the kind comments. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Patrick, these Lima Great Western Coaches were a bit of a mystery to me as they are OO scale with European bogies. I have several Lima Ho Coaches that are correct in scale. I agree with you they were probably meant to be dual scale to save costs. The downside is running them on a Ho Layout they would look far to big behind some of the Ho Locos. I dont mind as they are a good addition to the 4 OO Great Western coaches I already had. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

@paulvozman842 could they maybe have been modified with European bogies by a previous owner, just as our friend Railway 187 does?

@@patricksmodels There were no signs of the bogies not being origional, sometimes the tangs break if not removed carefully. I simply fitted NEM pockets on 2 ends that solved the coupling to the D types. I knoe Erik cut down some OO Coach bodies to lower them which turned out quite well. Cheers, Paul.
