    Nice to see Thomas and Percy taking their turn on the layout. They very often have a run round Dylington. It's good to see a little more progress on the layout, I must admit I must do something to mine. I was reminded recently how little work I've actually done to it over the last twelve months. I'd mocked it up to give me an idea of how it might look around April last year. Soon after, it was photographed for a bookazine, when the bookazine came out at the end of last year I realised I'd done nothing to it since then. So I must make sure I get a lot more done this year, particularly as Dylan has done much more to his, I've not even got the track fastened down yet 🙄 great video Carl...cheers James and Dylan 🙂👍

      Hi Guys, thankyou for watching & your nice comments. I was,nt going to make a video this week as I had glue everywhere on the layout. But I really wanted to show the haul I had just before Christmas. So I cleaned the glue up & loaded up the layout. I had five loco,s in that haul, but I,m still waiting for parts for one of them. So I put the small Jouef diesel I got on Ebay in the video. Thomas & Percy were in my Facebook video & were really popular. I will put the other loco in a video when done. James why not make a short video of your layout, that's how I got hooked. Thankyou so much guys. All the best. Carl.

    always a treat to see your lovely videos and hear your pleasant voice - i don't know, i have slowly built up a terrible prejudice against smaller locos which is a bad thing i know as they have a charm of their own, i think my downer on them is that they can handle tight points and crossovers less well than the bigger multi wheeled locos although all seems well on your layout, my favourite 'steam' loco is my ratty old lima king george v, worth very little, tender drive but somehow i like it.

      @@carlgauntletttrains3026 yes lima are good value - hornby more a mixed bag i reckon. of course they took over lima. i had a backmann, which took over mainline, anyway the split frame is a bit complex and fiddly plus the plastics can be brittle.

      @@iandouglas451 Hi Ian, I have a Bachmann class45, it's really the old mainline model. I bought it cheap as it had a split gear. What a nightmare to fix. I had the problem with a mainline warship & the motor housing had warped. I put it in the spares bin and bought a Lima, far better, then my daughter bought me another two for my birthday. So three Lima warships. Lima really are my favourite diesels. Trina is better but still having problems with her knee. Thankyou for asking. All the best. Carl.

      @@carlgauntletttrains3026 the only thing is that the mainline warship has lights, directional lights which is a nice thing to have. Hope it doesn't involve a replacement knee for Trina. I have a mainline C45 I think it is, two sets of 6 wheels, lumbering thing but somehow quite endearing, small pancake motor but it goes OK.
