Nice Scenery real good Treat

lovely video, and I just bought the book....I think you have a great approach to the hobby, very insightful, and inspirational. Thanks.

I love your books James, thanks for making them.

Madness....yep...looks good ...he'll yes

Very nice! If you don't mind giving me a reply, I noticed the beautiful painting jobs on your figures. Do you have a certian method if you paint them yourself? They look so lifelike.👌👍

very inspiring layout and presentation, James. Love your videos, keep them coming.

Great composition James, the bicycle is just perfect. It is the sort of desolate landscape, in which a couple of standing stones or a distant barrow on the skyline would hint at earlier times and people lost from the landscape. The bleakness would be almost palpable.

Love the weathering of your stock and the layout in general.

Very nice, amazing how much atmosphere you can get into such a small space! One small thing though, the bike should be leaning against the tree, not the sign - Poles wouldn't chain a bike to state property...

Awesome channel great video keep them up make sure you like and subscribe thank you for your support I need feedback on my train videos thank you

This video is perfect, the realism achieved and the narration make me feel standing next to the track 👋👋👋👋👋👋

The paint jobs on te figures is amazingly realistic! Are they from Mini Prints? I just received a crew set from them and can’t wait to get cracking on painting them! Great video as always! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome close ups looking through the freight Cars James. Regards Bernie

As allways nice to watch. Here a small Tip for a "smother" (final) shunting (step). I Programmed one Button to do the coupling waltz without doing the waltz. Basicly just one direction with the Button pushed gives a movement at lowest speed for one Second. The result is a bit like in reality. Shuter drives in front of the freight wagon, stops, driver (or co driver/shunting personal) gets off, shuter pushes till the point were the two buffers are together and the coupling can be done. If correct progammed (CV) even in smalles speed setting you will get a smooth final step (a ramp in speed). It takes a bit of "training" to reach the point were to stop befor pressing the button. It realy worth it as an eyecatcher.

I love it! How connected we all are! I can't wait for the next time I have space to build a spot for the boxcar that came from you to ride behind one of my MLWs. Cheers!

Great videography, models and thoughtful commentary too. Tell me, are the long row of grey buildings 3D printed and a work in progress? They really add weight and emphasis to the scene 👍😊

Wonderful commentary, James. Thoughtful as usual. The glimpse of the passing orange cab between cars is very evocative of railfanning in a CN yard. Very nice weathering on the loco. I have to acknowledge that these units, their standard-cab siblings and GP40-2W cousins are destined to have a longer service on CN than my beloved SW1200RSs. Yet, in time, they will be retired as well. Never take for granted a 50-year-old unit if you see it today.

I’ve always loved the Terra Transport logo. Looks good on em.

Looks like a railway version of Waiting for Godot 😁

Brilliant! Simplicty achieved. The bicycle is a wonderful touch.

Perfekt once again very inspiering 😊👍

Wow narrow guage looks incredible, love the detail and story telling. Will checkout some older videos for other 009 videos. Now off to get a 009 starter kit!

That is charmingly atmospheric, beautifully done. With your models its always a challenge to tell the scale etc, thats a knack well acquired by you👍😉✌️ I often add an item or two, e.g. a door left open so as imply human activity. On one of my dioramas I have the classic red and yellow (muted tones) oil drum next to some rusted drums, leaning up against such? An ex WWII gas mask bag used, upcycled (in modern parlance) as a lunch bag by the shunter, whos just nipped off for a jimmy riddle. As you're aware, landscape painters use the "warning colours" to draw the human eye, into, through, or around the painting. Those colours are hardwired into our brains, used sparingly, on a model, they have the same effect as used by landscape painters.

What locomotive is that?

Love this, feels other worldly which I like.

Nice

Such a simple design. Love it!

Love the Polish narrow gauge. You've done a great piece of work there, although I'm not so sure about the composition as I find the middle tree sits to close to the center and doesn't follow the rule of thirds. Captures everything very well though. Not sure I could think of anything to add, as these lines tend to be deep in forest or out in what we would call a fen. Who made the loco?

Perfection.

I used to have a shunting puzzle layout and very tempted to build another for the play, sorry, operational value

Thanks for sharing your creative space and where the magic happens James. Just spent the weekend cleaning up my little vintage desk for a year of mindful creativity as I start this great hobby. First order some N scale vintage Mini-trix trains in their original perspex boxes for a project idea and Tamiya paints from the hobby shop. Love the channel and down to earth energy. Some beautiful work!

Just picked up a box of old vintage and dusty Tri-ang rolling stock and TRIANG R152 BR GREEN 0-6-0 CLASS 08 DIESEL SHUNTER in a secondhand shop for $40 so had to pick them up. They have memories of playing trains with my Dad and trying to get my set to run nicely some 20 plus years ago. So I will clean them up and be part of a new collecting series. Now to find some matching catalogues to go with them. Not the most detailed or fancy but beautiful in their simplicity, Even if the shunter does not run its design is brilliant.

How do you make your photo backdrops? They’re always perfect.

I quite like this camera angle showing the whole layout, fascia and all. Gives a bit more context to it!

Cracking stuff. Is the layout 2mm Fine Scale? 🤔👍

A Mustard Gas pick up from ICI Rhydymwyn nr. Mold? Great running session. Just being cheeky adding a back story.

Nice Video I do love your small layouts brilliant. They used to have a Explosives factory in South Wales and my Dad was one of the Shunters he used to dread shunting them wagons.

Gorgeous!

Great details

Very entertaining. Moves really worked out well double heading. A bit tight, but that makes the story interesting.

Well said.

I have run sound locos for nearly 20 years and the sound quality has improved in leaps and bounds, but at this point in time , I seem to enjoy really good smooth slow running especially on small wheel base locos fitted with stay alive as much .There are some outstanding sound fitted locos out there,such as SLW and Zimo which are real headturners, I modelled Canadian Pacific/CN /BCR for awhile some fitted with TCS WOW sound and they are outstanding and still are but I am a bit more balanced now …..not everything I purchase has to have sound anymore….I ramble on, but thanks for your honest updated review.

Incredible work James, I live in Dieppe and immediately recognized Beaverbrook. I was even considering modeling it myself. Well done.

I’m assuming by disconnecting the motor from the decoder you’re retaining lights and sound functions?

Nice video...I installed 2 Digitrak decoders in a couple of Blue Boxes. A SW1500 and a SD9. Followed the instructions on a few RUclips videos. GO YOU 'R's!!!

Glad it's working out well as a dummy unit, it looks fantastic. Food for thought: you may want to consider running these together with the cabs both facing out. There's a bunch of short lines that run these end cab pairs in that orientation, for the best visibility from each cab. Plenty of examples of them running "elephant style" as you did in this video though too. There's definitely no wrong way to do it. 🙂

Wow!! Some of the best shots I've ever seen. Great job!!

What colours did/ do you use for CN paint? It looks great

That was weird timing! You, and several American prototype RUclipsrs, have just sent me down a new rabbit hole, as if I didn't have too many railway interests already! I'm waiting for the postman to deliver a sound fitted Bachmann GP40 and an Athearn dummy. Plus some freight cars. I'm now wondering if I need to try to find some cheap way to add sound to the dummy, and if I could do it without spending many times what I paid for the dummy on a decoder!

And this composition, right here at 7:41 is something I wish I had photographed. I love the composition.
