Fantastic weathering on the coal truck and hopper… realistic sounds and moving speeds… I could almost smell the diesel fumes…👏🏻👏🏻

Brilliant

Could this approach be used for building larger table style baseboards for4 oval type layouts? I am planning a baseboard build 2440mm x 1550mm (2440mm x 1220mm + 2440mm x 330mm). I want it to have legs and be as light as possible in case I need to move it in the house. Was thinking 12mm plywood on top and 90mm x 22mm timber for the framing but is it also possible to use ply like you have or inadvisable? I like the holes drilled for lightening the structure. You haven't covered things like legs for the baseboards or how you pinned the structure? I was always of the belief you should never pin into the edges of plywood only through the top as the ply delaminates. How do you avoid this?

Nice weathering.

When you made the curved sections, did you use the 6mm ply to get it to bend.... and as you said it was rather challenging to curve it, would you use a thinner play next time ? I was thinking I can get 3.5mm plywood and maybe use 2 layers with a large helping of epoxy resin and loads of clamps.... Your hindsight would be helpful.

THE DANGERS OF SOLENOID MECHANISMS ON PECO POINTS ! Solenoid point motors on Peco points sooner rather than later, hammer the points resulting in the little hair spring breaking & rendering the point useless. The solution is to use proper motor drive mechanisms such as Turtle or Fulgurex that actually require the Peco hair spring to be removed. And these mechanisms come with switches (The Fulgurex mechanism comes with two free switches & two blank spaces to accept two more) One is obviously used to control the Frog, and the second to allow you to interlock the point in real life fashion with the Signalling. These Mechanisms are still only around £10 each when you buy a case of 20 by mail order, direct from Fulgurex in Lusanne Switzerland. Fulgurex have a website but DO NOT deal online ! Their range includes mainly very exclusive brass handmade limited editions of locos & rolling stock for Connoisseurs.

Amazing. Is the sound from SLW too?

Stunning loco and scenery. That grass looks amazing. You know I'm going to ask how you make that grass :)

*идите все нахер своей войно уроды*

Superb modelling! A compact layout that calls for a croissant at breakfast! WELL DONE! Pete

Great looking project look forward to seeing this develop, love the proper block trains.

Would love to see more of the layout

Hi! I'm really impressed! I'm from France and I can tell you that what you've done here is very close to reality! A good source of inspiration! Thx for the video!

The concrete around the goods shed base is truly amazing.

Incredible layout, superbly operated.

So much detail, so rustic and so life like. Brilliant, hats off

Marvellous!

You guys are killing me here - I'm now scouring eBay for some European H0 models!

Stunning. Such skill. Helpful to see the off-scene/fiddle yard as well. Thank you for sharing.

Another great project and G'day from OZ

Show much attention to detail. i am in awe. well done. hi from NZ

Hello Chris I discovered your channel 2 days ago and am now up to Chapter 6. Very impressive point work in No. 5 and the wiring looks so organised!. I'm just embarking on a new build in a log cabin - and was interested to see the metal trestles you use to support the boards. Can you tell me what make they are please? Best wishes Peter

Lol I am a professional so not forgiven lol But in all seriousness love the layout it's turn out well and even as a professional I still find that free hand is a skill to be had in itself nothing wrong with that

Very nicely weathered! What paints and techniques do you use?

Very nice, simple by so well done. I love the grasses. Hi from NZ

Very nice

Hello OTCM chaps. I am really stuggling to find a contact e-mail for you, here or even on you Wordpress blog. Could you provide as I'd like to send an event invitation.

What a superb and realistic model railway. I felt as though I was actually there in real life! Just wonderful.

No mention on fitting the roller.

Hi Chris, just come across your site, just been watching your first part of your point/track laying video, actually very concise and I’am at the point, pardon the pun! to start laying the points, only just bit unsure in that no mention of installing plastic insulations at the ‘V’ are they not required? Just subscribed, Eddie.🤓

When is next update

Cool layout

Looks really good. My God all those wires 🫣. Looking forward to seeing how it pans out 👍

What a great layout. Love how run down it looks as a scene. The weathering is brilliant on the loco and wagons aswell. Really good video thanks 👌

Very good video with some valuable tips 👍🏻

Hi 👋🏻 What a great era and location this is to model 😊 I’m 66 now and lived in Manchester so I had plenty of visits to this location before it was demolished and disappeared for ever. A Sunday afternoon visit to Wath was always with a visit on my motorbike 👍🏻 Without being rude you look a little young to remember this era so why are you modelling it? Just curious that’s all 😊 I’m sure I’ll enjoy following this one 👍🏻 Cheers Stevie 😀

Looking great with a lot of interesting movements 👍🏻 I spent many a day train spotting at Wath sheds and around the Sheffield area in the late 70s on my CB Honda 250 👍🏻 So this layout build has a great memories for me 😊

Really enjoyed that buddy 👍🏻

Good morning buddy. Just came across your channel 👍🏻 This is really interesting to me as it’s my era of train spotting in the late 70s and throughout the 80s. I lived in Manchester and traveled across to Yorkshire watching trains especially the Tommys working coal and mixed freight trains 😊 I stoped taking numbers when tops came in re numbering locos 😫 I’m 66 now and still love watching trains. Great video and I’ll subscribe to watch your progress 👍🏻 Cheers Stevie

Could i ask your scenic boards what are the measurements of the back and front of the boards thanks

My father was a time served carpenter all of his life and whilst he used hand tools I'm sure he wouldn't have scoffed at you with your electric saw and straight edge. The most important aspect is your approach to the job, not the tool that you're using. I'll bet that Dad would love to have had access to some of the modern power tools when he was out on a cold building site in the '60s. 🙂

Very nice but the sound seems out of synch with the wheels, should be four chuffs per revolution.

Eye protection is always prudent when using power tools. Finished product looks good!

Very nice kayiur😊

Are you related to the dude from Everard Juntion?

Very nice

How and what have you used for the ballast ?

Very impressive - the wiring especially (such patience!). Hope you will exhibit eventually in South West region. And Flexxgenix are ever so helpful in my experience too. Thanks for sharing.

Great progress really like your layout idea As a Barnsley lad with a big interest of the local lines I look forward to your updates on the layout

Looking forward to seeing the pointwork explanation.
