Is the childhood house the one your layout is in now?

Where will you put the pointmotors?

I like your standard weight and measure, 'the Dog food tin' :)

Thank you for the tip with joining Code 100 & 75 track together. I have Code 100 track every where except one point that must be 75, because of the drop. So I did what you did (just with the toe end) with the point on top of the fishplates of the 100 track and solder. Great job, so thank you. Love following your channel, well done.

Dog is probably going hungry 😢

lovely update David, its going to be such a beautiful scene!

Hi, is there a way to put leds to show the current line after the switch is thrown? With momentary switches just like yours??

Enjoyed the video, but why didn't you use a piece of transitioning track instead of soldering the rails together . I've used them on my layout they work fine .

Hi Where did you get the trees from, you mentioned poland Cheers

Hi David great plan. One thing. Do you plan on keeping your girlfriend?!!!!

Hi. David. It's always nice to watch one of your videos. I used that Woodland scenics foam, while if it offers a nice ballast shoulder, I would choose to use cork next time.

All you need now is some PECO HO/OO FLEXIBLE SL-102F CODE 75 NICKEL SILVER RAIL CONCRETE SLEEPER TYPE TRACK

Awesome layout! But please ditch that Pedigree chum. It's one of the worst dog foods available (I'm trained in canine nutrition ;) )

Thanks for the update; It's looking good. While it's great to have the facilities at your parents' house, I bet that you're champing at the bit to get the layout settled in your own home. Best wishes.

Great Video - showing progress step by step very interesting

It will be fine mate, it was peco foam that i saw that was breaking down

Hi i can't remember where i seen it somewhere on RUclips? So i decided to use cork instead the modern model trains are mostly quiet anyway

Nice work, but don't forget to cut some expansion gaps in between the soldered track joints. As the layout is in the loft, it will be subject to quite a bit of temperature variation, and the tracks will buckle if not permitted to move latterly. I speak from painful experience.

Enjoying the build, only negative (and not to do with any of the build, is filming in vertical at the end, I work in media and it breaks my heart when people don’t film in landscape. But great all the same.

That’s pretty good the baseboards are really well constructed.

Hi there won't that track bed foam brake down and disintegrated after 10 years ? Spoiling your track work? I've seen that happen with peco foam

Brilliant 🔥🍻

Absolutely love your work, so inspiring. Thank you

Very well done, excellent task!!

May I ask where this ballast your using is from? Looks great and really want to try out my new airbrush with some basic weathering on a small board ive got.

Some great modelling on show and nice to see another young face in the hobby. Subbed 👍🏼

Having worked with wiring all my life I used to leave a small maintenance loop in the cables I ran.

Hi Lee Whall suggested I take a look at your channel so the tour was very useful . It is a great layout and I have subbed and will be looking forward to following the progress. Cheers Kev

Could you mention the manufacturer of the boards in the description please? I missed where you spoke their name!

There is some lovely scenery here.

Hey David, brilliant update, nice to see the behind the scenes views. If it makes you feel better compared to me that was very tidy 😂 those trees are great, i looked at getting a few but will probably do it once ive got most my own attempts in, id love to know how they make them look so good. The layout looks great as usual and that was a good watch. Ps. £270 for a loco that doesnt run on your well laid layout... Hmmmm id expect more to be honest for that price. Your a better man than me, or deeper pockets 😂😂 All the best, look forward to seeing more in 2025 🎉

Thanks David, great video. Congratulations on getting 5K subscribers.

Great update, your work for me is something to aspire to. Always look forward to your videos. Congratulations on the well deserved 5K subscribers!

Hi, that was a very interesting video...............Even though your sound wasn't what you wanted, it was fine in the end. Great stuff. All the very best Dave.

The painted background is very nice. You did a really good job of layering depth.

Great work some really nice touches. I do like the added detail i 3d print but mainly for the little extra like the chimney pots and stuff that's generally hard to get a hold of. Good work, The branch line will look great once it's finished.

I'm watching these videos in the wrong order but yes would highly support your idea of making part of the layout exhibitable. This will allow you to engage with your subs in person and also spreads the word of your channel. Plus its always good to have another layout on the circuit and gives me another to film! :) Regarding the module idea, i've got something along a similar path planned myself. My thinking behind it is that it ensures I will keep having content to put out that is fairly quick to turn around and isn't that expensive. I'd recommend getting a load of wood laser cut to the dimensions you need (that's what i'm doing via a Mens Shed), rather than keep buying G&H modules, or see if they'd do you a deal based on your channel stats.

Congrats on reaching 5k, great progress on the layout too. It's a shame its not designed for exhibitions as would love to have seen it in the flesh

You can be proud of it, that's really impressive! 👍😉

Great update for 2025. Some really nice loco's and the scenery as always looks just amazing. Nice one.

Nice one. David

Hi David, Your modelling skills are amazing and very inspiring. If my layout is half as good as yours I will be happy. I'm new back to the hobby. Electrical complication and technology baffles me, so I have a "keep it simple " strategy. As you I've built up a collection of locos, most sound fitted. Mainly Bachmann class 37's. Which need there speakers upgraded/replaced. I am very reluctant to post them, as Richard from Roads and Rails supply the speakers, and can fit. Just wandering if you would be able as a commission to fit them for me. As I live very close to your parents/grand parents. When you're in the area at a time that suits you. I appreciate your busy with life,work and obviously building your new project, so understand if your unable. Perhaps you may know somebody else who could help. Many thanks Mike.

Awesome layout new sub and bell Frank from Canada😊😊👍👍.

Some inspirational scenic work, brilliant! I must admit to pinching a few ideas and I’m just starting my own branch line. Look forward to the progress, another viewer from Thailand!

That was a great update, and the layouts look very nice. I am not a weathering person, but I do like what you have done. Martin. (Thailand)

I’ve built a helix as part of my layout and I used my Accurascale ‘37 and ‘55 engines to tune it after Charlie (Chadwick MR) mentioned he’d had issues. I love your attention to detail btw, I aspire to a layout that looks anything remotely as well presented as yours.

Watching you talk over yourself saying something possibly completely different is quite amusing 😁
