Thanks for the Advert Steve, Appriciated

Say hello to Dan, Barry and Martin of Royston Club who are exhibiting Geeksville, a UP layout at Shoeburyness show. Barry is the 3D printing man who has done a lot of trash cans etc for our layout.

Excellent Steve from Virginia USA

Having built a small N GAUGE Inglenook layout (3' x 6") for an exhibtion I found that my class 08 shunter was forever stalling on the unifrog turnouts. Having watched your video I had that eureka moment. Bought three Gaugemaster frog juicers and now all I have to do is fit them. Simples!! Well I hope so!!!! Thanks for the tutorial.

a lovely wholesome video Steve! My memories are of the Woolworths Night Mail set they did with Hornby and still invokes those memories now, and although the loco has been upgraded to a Bachmann version, the coaches have been toached up, painted a bit and weathered and still invokes that memory now!

Next year! 😃

I hope you enjoy the show, Steve. It's a little bit too far for us, but hopefully, you'll get some footage to share... Cheers James 🙂👍

Simple pleasures. My first train set was the Triang Freight master set. A Class 31, although I didn't know that at the time, two container flats and a working overhead crane. My Dad put it on a board for me. Plated with it for hours! 😃

Steve.......if you send me your address I'll send you a frame to put your wedding photo on the shelf in lol. But I do like your forward thinking in that the dining room walls are already painted sky blue 😂

For Christmas one year in the very early 1960s my father built me a 4'x8' Lionel layout complete with postwar rolling stock and locomotives, Plasticville buildings, a passing siding and one industry siding. Ran the wheels off those trains as my father was building a larger HO scale layout from a Model Railroader plan right next to mine. The Lionel set was replaced by HO scale racing cars and by now most of it has been sold off. But I do have my two favorite boxcars from my Dad's original 1962 Athearn HO scale set on my current in-progress switching layout. Thanks for igniting the memories.

Well, that was a surprisingly enjoyable video, Steve. In fact, believe it or not, that's probably a similar size to Dylington, and we always just play trains ... Cheers James 🙂👍

It's nice to just run trains at times, isn't it? After ordering it three years ago, Atlas is finally shipping it's new RS-1 in LIRR livery.

I still have my original Hornby train set, one of the early two rail, I think it was Christmas 1962. The loco still runs but tends to waddle along. It gave me a passion for the hobby early on, and I started buying my own locos and stuff in my teens, after we moved to the US (1963-1973). Had a Tyco (red box) NYC GP20. Tyco made good detailed models then, before they got bought out by some toy company. The GP20 still runs, and can pull an awesome number of freight cars. a bit noisy, but I think it always was. Now back in the hobby after several decades hiatus. Still modelling NYC but now also NYOW and CP.

Interesting video, and thanks for the shoutout. To me there is no greater compliment to a prototype model railroader than to see a scene and say “I know where that is.”

Nicely explained, Steve, and I think that you know which area Dylington falls into 😁 ... Cheers James 🙂👍

Great video, Steve. Prototype modelling may be the easiest to explain, but in my opinion, it is the HARDEST to model. I model closer to prototype because my railroads, my operations and my locations all follow the prototype. But I found it much easier to not try and match every structure (key street overpass and a few key structures notwithstanding). But I'd consider myself a proto freelancer based on this. I think there is a lot of gray area in between. It will be a debate here in the states for years to come.

So basically, Recall is like the memory setting for radio stations on your car's sound system 👍

Great update. That is going to be a nice scene.

Looking good! Thanks for the update!

The school looks good. Blends in very well.

20 pounds? The book isn't that heavy! :)~

Great update Steve.The school is looking great, we're looking forward to seeing your progress with it. The diner will make a great feature once you've added the interior and lights...cheers James 🙂👍

Looking good Steve!!! My first job during and after high school was at Hollywood Auto Repair at 1028 Utica Ave, Brooklyn NY if you need a name for the shop. Secondly paint the windows on the Chevy to represent brown masking paper and paint the body to show some off color body work over the main color. This will give you a car being prepped for painting.

Good tip thanks! I think the R/C Powercab is a five amp system. Not sure which system you were demonstrating as i could not see it.

Steve, I like it! I think your idea of graduating the building height from lower to higher as you move away from the grade crossing was a good choice. Unfortunately, there is no direct city bus that runs from Brooklyn to LaGuardia airport. You need to take a subway to Queens, and then transfer to the bus (usually, the M60).

Your very good at finding all these detail parts. The mechanics post lift must be broken if he's lying down underneath it. 😃

Very nice Steve! Love the GMC RTS bus. Iconic Replicas does a nice job. I’m guessing that is the diner from City Classics?

The garage is a nice little scene. The 3d printed car looks ideal for having a tarpaulin thrown over it. You could probably flatten the tyres with a bit of gentle heat, and maybe have the engine exposed. Use the bonnet to block the gap in your fence!

Garage looks brilliant. As a bit of a car geek, especially American cars (my Dad had a Mustang, a Barracuda and a Torino), what is the car in the garage? Also that 1950s yellow car beside the mini - a Chevy I'm guessing? I've collected a handful of 50s/60s cars for my upcoming layout build.

Hi Steve, nice update. You've got some nice details on that auto repair shop scene, it's looking good. Dylan is wondering if the diner will be selling Dylington Custard 😂....Cheers James 🙂👍

Very nice, that auto scene looks great!

Good update Steve, the buildings being placed to the front is a great idea, with trains running behind them, will make for some great scenes. Excellent work, the layout is really coming along nicely. All the best. Brian

Certainly all coming together and swapping the diner is spot on

Great video. I just posted a similar video from an American’s perspective. Just subscribed!

OMG the new york atlantic railway locomotive is awesome

How much canadian stuff do they have ( I live in montreal canada where the caboose was built)

Excellent I recall these units from when I lived in New York were they functioned like locomotives on the system. Isn't there a connection between the subway and heavy rail around Glendale in Queens? I have a faint memory of something like that from my railfaning days there. Fresh Pond Junction area? Really glad I found your channel.

A nice bit of progress Steve - that school should look great once you've worked out how you're going to do it!

lovely glance at this unit dude, I do really like it!

Great update! I love your MOW subway set as well. Brongs back my memories of living in Staten Island!

That's a nice addition to your fleet, Steve. When Dylan sees it, I'm sure he'll say it's in the Dylington Custard Company's colours. He already thinks you should have a Dylington Custard Company billboard sign on your layout 😂 ... Cheers James 🙂👍

Hi Steve, I'm finally catching up with videos after a busy weekend with Dylan. The fencing is looking great, and you've done well finally getting the kit to build your school ... Cheers James 🙂👍

Nice score Steve!!!

Usually they have a flat car or two in between the cars

Looks great, Steve! That "bell" is actually a buzzer, used by the conductor to communicate with the motorman, and vice versa. One long buzzer signal passed to the train operator means to stop or do not move the train. One long buzzer signal passed to the conductor means do not open the doors, do not close the doors, or reopen the doors. Two long buzzer signals to the train operator means to proceed. This is used at terminals, after any emergency brake application, and after the conductor has signaled the train operator to stop. Two long buzzer signals to the conductor means to proceed with door operations and pass indication, when all is clear. Two short buzzer signals passed by either the train operator or the conductor is an acknowledgement of any message. NOTE: The conductor must never pass buzzer signals with the side doors open, unless the emergency brake valve is open. There were a few other signals but they were rarely used.

Dear TBR, beautiful how you did the sidewalks out of hardboard, such a simple way to accomplish this level of street detail! Cool to hear you were invited to the NMRA meet, definitely will consider joining up! Cheerio

Great tip on the older kit options. Often Walthers Kits are rebranded KIRBI and Faller kits. I have the Walther's Rivoli Theatre and the plastic walls are stamped KIRBI

Your curb and sidewalk look great! Love the storm sewer grate at the edge of the street too. Details… 😀

Looking good, Steve, thanks for the update!

The urban look is definitely coming on. I see Enzo is still outside his store. I think the term for a garage is auto shop. Course, I could be wrong. I very often am. Mech Models have an open weekend in April with layouts, other, traders etc. I'm hoping it will be the same weekend as the Model World show at the NEC. I'll make a weekend of it and do both. Are you going to the NMRA meet in October? I'm quite temped to go along.
