Hi there David - I know this is an old video but how did you go about cutting the excess steel wire (that pokes up through the point and physically operates it) to size once you’d installed the motor? I’m told I will ruin track cutters if I use those.

Hi David. Great vid as usual. If you are selling the Bachmann depot I may be interested. What would you be looking for?

Lots of ambitious plans, which is great. I would stick with the Bachmann engine shed: if for no other reason, you have plenty of other scratch building proposals and changing the engine shed could wait. Best wishes for the festive season.

Love the level of planning, very much a man after my own heart 😂 Always excited to see more progress from you, it's such an inspiration

The idea of the standalone branch that you could take to an exhibition would be fun; I'd recommend it.Look forward to seeing progress, I enjoy seeing the high standard of scenic modelling you do.

It’s great to see someone tackling the challenges of being young and having to work around your career and university etc. Not having a space accessible daily is a constant struggle for me too at the moment and I’ve always wanted to do something like this, where you build it piece by piece, but had never seen it done properly. Really inspiring, giving me so many ideas!

Another example of a station like that could be Newbury. I think the diesel shed is fine but its up to you.

Awesome Skills and Aspirations- My Approach to this Hobby will Never be at this Level and will be Vicariously looking forward to seeing your progress 🙌🏻👌🏻

I love the idea of the liftout board being its own little interchangeable diorama. On the other hand, if you commit on a four track design for it you could gain some extra length in the fiddle yard by not having the tracks converge back together, instead you would only need to branch out from four instead of two

Is 'authentic' an acceptable alternative to 'prototypical'?

Good to see an update David, I'll watch in full later. Enjoy your Christmas 🎄

thanks for the video, brillant sketches, like the development, keep the diesel shed but think about a roundhouse for the steam locos connected via the turntable, can't wait to see the branchline station,

Lighting please. 14.12.24

Hi David, been enjoying your layout construction very much, thank you. Impressive ballasting there, love the vacuum attachment, might invest myself. Aah a Dapol GWR Prairie, lovely model, have one myself. Cheers, Dave.

excellent😍

Is there any chance you could make a video to explain in laymens terms how all those modules work together to enable automated working right back to the laptop software please? I'm 58 and will with any luck be embarking on my 3 rd lifetime layout!! I'm at the design stage but would like to incorporate a fiddle yard with blocks and automation in mind. What I envisage is putting my feet up and have random trains leave (and enter) the yard all on their own, I'm wondering if this would be possible ? Thankyou for giving me much needed and renewd inspiration!!! Cheers, Gary.

How much do you pay your train drivers and how do you continue operating when they inevitably go on strike?

From a Senior Canadian Citizen to a switched on younger chat, well done. I love the MERG stuff. Amazed at the pace you set. Will try to keep up as I build my layout, in terms of quality, but not in terms of speed! Keep it up!

Nicely filmed and narrated, also like your choice of music. Enjoyable watch👍

I have recently come back to the hobby after a long lay off. Your channel came up as a suggestion after I had subscribed to a few others. I will be watching all your videos Be good to see it develop. I actually used to live in Horsehay, Baylam Close, not far from the Steam Railway. I will be watching with lots of interest. Well done.

That viaduct is brill. Who makes it?

Can l ask where you got your 08 shunter figure from ?

This was my first Fareham Railex, it was a really impressive show wasn't it! Much bigger than I was expecting. I took a class 33 along for Sam of Emperors Path to weather, which worked out very well, and had some really interesting chats to some of the people running the layouts and stands. You've presented a very good overview of the show, and I echo others comments about the sound, much better than a load of hubbub!

You from telford mate ? would be good to know someone in telford in case you need advice etc

Finally getting some time to watch this video David. Never change the intro it's genuinely brilliant 👍 I appreciate the views without the background chatter which so often ruin vlogs like this... Re. The house. Have yog thought about just hiring a hall and charging entry fees Pendon style... Youll get a lot more room 😂😂😂 I think it may have been me mention your channel on the podcast, or at least i was one of many to mention you. Big love for Horsehay 🐴

Hi, great video. Where did you get the viaduct from it looks fantastic

Houses would be much better designed by model railway enthusiasts, then there would be no bloody joists in the way. 😉

I love your choice of music. It's much better than the conversations usually heard on exhibition videos. Pete

Very nice purchases, looked a good exhibition 👍

Hi, I was there too and some lovely layouts with friendly exhibitors. Arun Quay was a standout for me and I spent a long time chatting about the building scratch builds. There was a lovely GWR layout which I watched for ages too. Cheers.

Just back from the Newcastle and District MRC exhibition where there were excellent layouts, including Arun Quay which features briefly in your video. I spent rather less than you, but did weaken and buy a fairly recently published book by Pete Goss on Modelling Buildings and a few other extravagances - you can't just walk past a Squires stand can you ? Thanks for the video and beautiful music, and best wishes.

cool video, thank you David

Thank you for replacing the audio. That's the one thing that puts me off viewing entire layout videos. All the nonsense chat around that's just noise. So thank you.

Lovely video. That was my first exhibition in a long time as well and I had a great time. Are you planning on attending the SHMRC exhibition in Portsmouth next weekend?

The actual 31s were heavier than a Deltic.

superp model railway, i am currently building a model railway, i have a viaduct like yours built from the wills viaduct kit, but what done was add 2 wills stone sheets to the piers making the viaduct much taller i am very pleased with the result.

I had a few for haulage out of Paddington in the early 80's.

Hi David, I've just come across your channel & spent the last hour (maybe two) watching your previous videos. I have to say your scenery & general modelling skills are superb !! Very well done Sir. I've enjoyed the scenery construction & especially the making of the Post Office and shop. I'll definitely be following your layout progress, keep up the excellent work. All the best....Andy

Nice video. I have 31128 with the headlights instead of head codes. Definitely another great Accurascale model. I think I may be the only one who has one of these running on DC because quite frankly I can’t afford it😂

Hello David, I've just come across your channel. I have to say your scenes really do look very good, and I did like your commentry explaining how you went about building up those scenes. I'm not sure if you have done it yet, but a tour round your layout would be most welcome. Subbed to your channel, and look forward to followinjg your progress with the layout. All the very best, from another Dave!

Wow your viaduct scene looks amazing.

Yet again another professional video from you and not much waffle on the unboxing of the BOX 👍 I’m impressed with the locomotive’s quality and details. Thank you David

Another excellent model by A/scale

HRM... Nice easy to watch video, Accurascales Brush 2 is a great model, I have one that's sound fitted, No.31432, for our NW themed layout as this loco worked the club trains to Manchester amongst other duties. The 3D printed crew are advertised by Accurascale as press fit into the cab seats, the driver was, but the second man with leg up on the desk needed a spot of black tack up his backside. Impressed with your channel so Subscribed. All the best Steve.

Ive got hornby detailed versions rescued from mazac, whether or not they were prototypical ill probably run them around 😂😂 Great video as usual mate, and the tunnel scene really looks brilliant.

I have 31402 sound fitted. These 31s look and run wonderfully. Nice review, David.

such a lovely model! I cant wait to see their other livery options for it, but it sounds phenomenal!

Appologies for this video being in 1080p rather than 4k. I filmed parts on my new phone and didn't remember to change it to 4k. Future videos will be back in 4k as normal.

Just a little note the crew in that guise drove the green era locos, You needed the crew that Accurascale advertise as deltic crew, I drove these in the seventies and crew uniform had changed.

I hope this helps... I never saw a 31 in Plymouth.or Cornwall myself, but they were regulars on the Barnstaple route. And I clearly remember riding begun one on a train from Paignton in approx 1980. The hornby one was superb. Let's hope this and other recent locos don't start to rot like many other manufacturers have found with Chinese products...not limited to hornby
