this is great, I love watching this. watching the train and its load round go the helix is fascinating , I could watch all day. Nice to see you put the loco through its paces with forty wagons that was Great ✔✔⭐⭐😃😃
Check out the ribbon rail train on the BNSF Fall River Division Ho layout.
Nice video. 😊
sweet train, outstanding layout! :)
Fabulous! Yours layout is displaying what you get when things are properly planned....My layout ..errr...wasn't! Great stuff. I look forward to following your progress. Regards Julian, from the Valebridge Model Railway
Thanks so much!
Love your style of layout along the US route. Mine has a similar influence and uk 🇬🇧. Not as fancy in detail as yours though.
Splendid! The US style works great for the UK.
Thanks
Great video. Will follow with interest. Regards Bernie in NZ
Really interesting layout. Can you see the whole layout from one position? I guess I’m asking: Are you going to operate it yourself or will you need to have some friends come over and help?
Thanks. The layout took about 2 years of planning. It’s designed so I can do both. If my friends are here then you can do a US style operating session. If I’m on my own I have a great choice in which area I can operate or just let the main lines go and sit and watch. There is automation built in. The vast majority of the layout you can see from the main aisle. However the viaduct area you cannot see.
Your model railroad just oozes craftsmanship. Has the potential to develop into one of the premier UK layouts on RUclips. Really enjoying the journey and thank you so much for taking the time to record, edit and post. It is very appreciated.
Hi, just subscribed to your channel, looks like a massive project you have ongoing, looking forward to seeing more, cheers for now, John
I've got 2 of the Cavalex Class 56's & 2 Class 60's on pre-order. I'm having a TMD layout built for me. Can't wait to use it.
Can I ask how you went about weathering your concrete track as it looks really good Thanks
Hi Can you please tell me how you went about weathering your concrete track thanks
Mask off the sleepers then an aerosol over just the rails. Ballast and then pipette watered down paints onto the ballast
Hi, great video of an amazing loco from Cavalex, I have the same loco in the same livery, dcc ready because I’m not sure about what sound I want onboard yet, amazing detail of scenery on your great layout, thanks for sharing.
The Cavalex sound file is absolutely epic and one of the best I have heard full stop. 100% recommend
Hi Ian. I purchased one and ended up with five. These Cavalex class 56s are excellent with a great sound. Definitely with be purchasing more. I love your class 50 poster where did you buy it from please
Hi, I’m Rhys :) as per the layout description I visited Ian’s layout with one of my 56’s. You can contact Ian here through his own channel @50temeraire003 for info on the poster. Thanks
Great looking model and wonderful scenery 👍🏻
Superb running shots and a great performance by the Cavalex 56 😃👍
Love the red stone cliffs
Very impressive pulling power. You referenced radius 5 curves but I see your using the dcc automation helix they only go to 3 and 4 curves. Are yours a custom size
DCC train automation do offer this. The 3&4 is standard. It may not be on their website but you can order it (4th and 5th radius) with them. Contact them directly and they will be able to help you.
@@rhysb80 thanks for the reply, I wish I had known that as my 3/4 ones arrived today. So a bit late for me now, but the diameter must be very large at radius 5, i thought 3/4 was bad enough
@@Llamberg.Railway it’s only about 6” more than 3/4
The thing is, the HAAs are all empty, if you fill them or have half and half then it may be a more realistic result. Just a hunch. Gotta say though, they are some real mighty locos. Great video👍
Has it got the thum thum thum when it gets up to speed.
Oh yes, it thumps and screams just like a 56. One of the best sound files I have heard
I hope the new Heljan class 47 i have ordered is this good. they are more expensive than Cavalex .fingers crossed because that is excellent,
Very nice video, I do like the layout. And the loco tests were very interesting and well done. Karl.
Very useful video -thank you. Time to buy one…….
Brilliant layout, sounds and performance, and the closest I’ve seen to the real thing. Some of the 56s have worked like that, day in and day out, for nearly forty years and it’s great that you’ve kept them alive on your railway. I’ve subscribed and look forward to more. Although not strictly necessary, I expect we may occasionally see and hear some double-heading on the heaviest trains…..
Great video and a solid test of the Cavalex 56's. I have a curious question... I notice you seem to be running the DR5000 (8:44) but you seem to be using some sort of handheld throttle. Have you be able to hook up a third-party throttle to the DR5000 and if so, is it wired or wireless? Many thanks, Julian
Julian, thank you. Yes I am using the DR5000 (now Yamorc) system. The handsets are the Uhlenbrock daisy handheld throttle (also available as a PIKO branded version). At the moment I am using the wired ones as I have multiple handset sockets all around the layout. The handsets basically all come out of the loconet T socket on the DR5000 and then daisy chain. I believe you can use a multitude of handsets with the DR5000. James Hudson at DCC train automation is the go to for any DCC related questions and has been an amazing help with my system.
Looks like a lovely locomotive 👍 Nice to see another layout based on a local station to us.
Another great video and I love that you run full length trains, just brilliant. Gives me a heads up to see what mine can pull.👍👍
What a fantastic layout! The Class 56 is magnificent. What control system do you use please?
Thanks for the kind comments. The layout is the Dijikeijs DR5000 DCC system (now Yamorc). in a future video I will cover this but hope that helps for now.
I thinking I might get one . Not in my era but hey .
Brilliant video, thanks for that ! Hope you ran in the locos for 30 mins in either direction with no load first 😊
Unbelievable sound. Thus is awesome.
What da sound. Absolute fantastic.
Stunning layout Stunning Grid . Nice lengthy train room 👍 instantly subscribed
What a nuts layout setup! Earned a sub off me. Great haulage test also.
Obviously they look good but I think it’s the quality of the sound file and speaker that makes the difference. Fantastic product with no bad reviews, so far.
Great looking layout, Can I ask if this is with the supplied tension lock couplings ?
@@davidm11 how many/type of wagons are you running? The Kadee is more reliable but that’s the case for everything really as their performance is better than tension locks in general
Nice
Great lighting on your layout.
Superb video, absolutely slays any doubts about the middle floating axle
Love this layout and content, one of my favourites and inspiration for what I’m building at the moment, wish I had half of this much space. Had no idea you were doing Westbury too.
Wow! Absolutely brilliant test for the 56’s and should prove any doubts about the drive set up can relax now , an amazing layout and room , thanks for sharing cheers Darrell
Excellent video Rhys! It’s probably not even breaking in to a sweat with those 👍
It's already an amazing layout and once complete it will be an exceptional one! Keep up the good work.
Bloody awesome angle there mate. Looks very realistic 😊
Really enjoying your layout. I live and model cornwall myself so am familiar with the stock and trains. Ive subbed 👍😀
Got a love the 47s. Love the Ops. Since I went to sound I can't enjoy silent locos...just like ev cars lol. Hi from NZ. Check me out😊
Thanks. Lots more 47’s to come
Very enjoyable video.
Many thanks!
Nice video, although, I wonder if your signalman is a loco spotter or photographer, signal checking every train like that! Great video and thank you for a great video. All the best Dave.
