Lovely detail on your layout, ...great inspiration and learning material. Thank you!

Best in Class! Honestly, just stumbled on to your channel, so many ideas I can steal, er I mean admire. I have put a couple of those semaphore signals on the layout and never even thought about modelling how they get operated, well done for having the patience.

Another super video! Enjoyed the banter and review of the station. Nice to add in a loco review with a bit banter. Nice to see some scenics as well. OH! Did I mention that the banter was good. Great job.

Hi John- I have to say I am enjoying the new Facebook group as its great to see other peoples work and gain inspiration and to be able to post without fear of judgement. I am going to use one of those Dapol signals to replace a Train tech one my cat broke !! Cheers Kev

great vid on channel thanks for the share on channel thanks lee

Comedy Gold brother🍻

Your videos are fab!We always have a laugh at your saucy bits!🤣I'd be proud to wear a Harold Road t-shirt,by the way.

Hi, great video. You never come across aggressive. I love the class 60.

proper LaRgE PhNaRRRR at 15.00 mins in... 🌴🌲🌴🌴🌴

Great 🎺📯🎺💨@1424😂🎉

A great laugh John .Hornby Class 60s like the real thing are being dumped at the moment as some modellers are clearing their decks in readiness for the Cavalex and Accurascale releases . Good prices can therefore be found,as TMC ,Rails and Clark Railworks have plenty of pre owned examples.

Haha brilliant! All I kept thinking about was when this this shows up on someone's algorithm for the first time!😂

Hi JB and gang, Really entertaining video, even with the new camera angle 😂 Not all of us big and bold guys are aggressive!😡😂 I blame the Mitchell brothers! How many of us, have to have new locos/layout bits delivered to work address….to appease the layout police…😂 Keep up the good work.

Hi Dennis . Oh we have slimer too now . Can we have a stormtrooper aswell. And yeah maybe some model trains to if we have too. But this why I like your videos because it's fun . And that's what it's all about. Plus tips on how we can all enjoy this wonderful hobby . With or without silly people wearing a unicorn mask . Or others talking about dinosaurs and stormtroopers. Ha ha ha

Hiya JB . What a great video . oh yes we all love a " Tug " 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 As for the gladiator audition , Mate keep to your day job 😎 lets have some more Banter ,

Just subscribed, enjoyed the video, what's a bit of anarchy between friends lol? I couldn't give two flying f**ks what Norman Nasaltone, the layout looks good and the signals are great. Don't do Facebook or any other social media but I'll continue to enjoy your layout here.

Who needs a roof when you have a model railway? 😛

I quit counting rivets after I dropped the bucket.

Hi John .I did try to join your new Facebook group but was turned down because I didnt have a profile picture. A good reason for that is and only a skeleton profile is to prevent identity theft. I tried anyway.

Fantastic layout, thanks for sharing.

Your work is amazing 🤩 !!! I commend you on sharing the signals !!! 👍👍😎💯

Top bloke with a top layout and a top bunch of genuine followers! Not going to get on about the toffee nosed rivet counters as they absolutely boil my..... blood. Keep up the great work, we appreciate you showing us your layout 👍

Now you have scared off all the rivet counters, what is there to talk about! Seriously, great work with the Supporters Group as it has clearly made so many comfortable about showing their layouts and at all levels of work. As one guy said, “this is may layout, it makes me happy.” Should be the group motto!

That's awful.. that dinosaur really should be wearing a jacket this time of year. 😁

I thinks it's a super layout and most importantly its yours so you can do what you want with it and stuff the nit-pickers. No time for those that criticise and add nothing constructive. Keep up the great work and do what you want to do going forwards.....

Great to another video mate! 😎 I love the enthusiasm you have and it is reflected in the love and attention you give your layout. And like you say, the miserable sods that want to criticise clearly have got something missing from their lives, probably friends 🤣😂😅 The infrastructure is so wonderfully (and accurately) claustrophobic as anyone that works in a depot will testify! You are also right about that signal box, absolutely champion! 😎 BTW, while you were looking for ‘that word’ I swear I was saying ‘endorsed!’ over and over again 😉 Only one teeny-weeny gripe…why hasn’t Dennis passed his PTS yet? They could do with him when they do maintenance on the semaphores. Can he not get someone to help him pass the assessment, get his competency card and then get kitted out? Or is it just that raptor hi-viz equipment is a bit scarce? 🤔 🦖 Cheers mate, fantastic stuff. I’ll have a look out for the FB group too 😉👍🍀

We only sit in the van whilst we wait for possession or a line block to be taken or if we are eating.

I hear you John regarding rivet counters .They are the scourge of the hobby and killing it slowly with their unwarranted criticisms especially of the younger end which are the lifeblood of the hobby going forward. I will be joining your Facebook group in due course. Thanks buddy

I’m a great fan of signalling, your signals are great! I have been collecting signals for years, so I have some that were from the 1950’s and some Dapols. Unfortunately I wired my first Dapol (SR U/Q) to my sixty year old Hammant & Morgan “Monitor” unit, output 16v A.C. I followed the instructions correctly, but the early instructions did not advise you needed a “regulated” DC output to run them. At that time I had never heard of regulated DC, but had an old 10v DC mobile ‘phone recharging unit which did the job. Result £26 .00 down the drain for the first signal. Yes, I know most modern mobiles run from 5v DC, but this one was probably from an old Nokia. I was advised that my unit had an iron core transformer which meant that even a DC output would have blown the signal. The “Monitor” unit is very good with all my modern Hornby, Bachman and Dapol locomotives and multiple units. Slow starts, no jerking when stopping, and controllable down to a slow stop into a platform or up to a red signal, as it has “transformer control”, not resistance control. Paid £2.00 for it about 1964. PICTON, South Island, New Zealand.

AMAZING LOOKING LAYOUT - LOOKS REAL. WISH IT WAS BIGGER (that's what she said)

M8 I've subbed. I love your layout. Ignore the assholes that comment negatively. I don't use RM Web for that reason. Too many prats. Unfortunately I don't do Facebook but will catch up here. Love the detail.

Nothing wrong with end-to-end layouts. Personally I like them cause there's more operational potenrisp, run around, shunt releasing, etc. Building a small one myself

so cool layout love it

That dinosaur in the park 😂 and ya man fallen by the memorial! 😂😂

Rivet counters are just a pain in the proverbial. ... remember rule one... it's your railway run wot you like

Hello there. Why on earth would anyone want to criticise your layout? It's brilliant! I'm sure there was a signal like the one you have on the platform at Barry Island station back in the day, so perhaps the GWR got it wrong, too?!? Oh, and you can't have too many locos: just have a look at some old shots of Cardiff Canton Depot.

Really good update mate, I have the signalling wiring etc to install, not looking forward to it 😳 especially as I have some rodding to do as well! But what you’ve done; looks great. All the best, Stu @ Kingsclere model railway.

Nice work. My major criticism is the dinosaur wouldn't be seen at this location. This sub-class of monster was allocated to Scottish depots 😊

John, rivet counters have very thin skulls. With a modest application of pressure aside both temples equally applied they pop quite nicely. There's a lovely popping sound as well. Very satisfying.

What a brilliant end to end layout, and like those signals, can I ask what size (width) your boards are? As I model in N and seem to run out of room😂 yet you seem to get lots in. Once again brilliant layout

Good effort. Those junction signals are not absolutely incorrect. Although they would not normally appear like this, they could appear like this. There are prototypical examples. Thanks for uploading!

Having all the engines out is great,,better than having very few,,looking at the smaller buildings on the layout,they are really nice,,trees and vegetation terrific,,😊

Nicely done,,great details,,thanks for sharing,,😊

As always chaos and that's the way the fans like it ✌️ great update to the layout keep up the good work 👍

I do like your layout. The attention to detail and scenery are a credit to you. Have you considered putting a facia round the layout, then fixing a curtain underneath? That would really put the Cherry on the bun!

Hi John, fantastic update on a lovely layout, the new semaphores look amazing,as regards the rivet counters, just ignore them, they're not worth acknowledging,(pound to a penny,if you went to their channel, you'd be greeted with "this channel has no content", which speaks volumes), Dennis the Dinosaur, reminds me of the animatronic dinosaurs at the Landmark Adventure Park at Carr bridge near where I live, there really is a prototype for everything, anyway, sorry for filling up your comments section, take care, all the best from Scotland, Stephen.

I can tell in the tone of your voice on recent video's these rivet counters are driving you insane . . . Please please pleaseeeeee do not pay a single ounce of attention, this is your hobby, your layout and you can do it exactly as you wish, its great work and a fabulous layout --- Don't even justify them with acknowledgement on your video's as that is what they are looking for to wind you up . . . Rise above it, your great at what you do and your work is inspirational for other hobbyists.... Keep it up !!!

Great layout! It looks absolutely fantastic 👍🏻 It's the rivet counters and all the negative people that are stopping me from doing much on RUclips. I've made a couple of little videos. And I've had nothing but encouraging comments. But the bigger your channel, the more people want to shoot you down. I don't want anyone taking away the enjoyment of the hobby. 😕

I like the way you are not to serious with the commentary makes me smile. I have Dapol signals in n on dcc and find now and again the signal forgets it self snd does what it wants.
