Thanks so much for the comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, the storage tracks might as well be on view and form part of the layout, it seems a pointless waste not to! Regards Julian

Thanks ....?... matey! I don't know your name! Regards Julian

@@theeventhorizon-valebridge9512 it’s Andy. Thanks for asking 🙏

Thank you for your kind comments Stuart, much appreciated. Regards Julian.

Who said I can actually afford them! I picked them up secondhand in various batches of a few at a time generally. It's a stupidly expensive hobby, but I don't waste money on other vices which many do! Hopefully they'll keep their value as the RRPs increase.

Hi, thank you. it's 33' and 10'6" at its widest. There is some details in the description. Regards Julian

Thank you very much, Steve I presume, much appreciated. The layout has a long way to go as it's in mid build, but it's getting there slowly. Lots of detail and rollingstock weathering to do too! Regards Julian

Thanks Darrell, glad you enjoyed it.Those Revolution TEAs, although weighty, they are really free running and have metal axle hub inserts/bearings so they can be pulled by anything really. Yes, all the best, regards Julian

Thank you Robert, good to have you onboard. The layout is evolving and nearer a reasonably completed state now so there should more time to video the trains, rather than just building the layout all the time. Regards Julian

@@theeventhorizon-valebridge9512 Thank you, I shall have fun trying to catch up I think 😊😊

Cheers Chris. Yes, it's been a while but I'm getting there ....On with the never ending task that is a model railway! Hopefully more videos very soon too. My two laptop computers have been playing silly buggers so editing has been rather challenging! I've got more footage to release, it's just whether I can get the technology to run without seizing mid edit! My old laptops are showing their age..🤔...Just like I am! Regards Julian

Thank you. There's some chance of an overhead tour in the future....I'm currently making some scenic changes so not quite yet, it will be after they're done.

Thanks Darrell. Yes, it' sure is a flaming great monster! Bleedin' humongous! I'm currently making some scenic changes so there'll be a closer-look update video in the future...Hope you're having a great festive break too. Regards Julian

@@theeventhorizon-valebridge9512 nice one will look forward to seeing your progress 👍

It came with the loco when I pre-ordered it direct from Dapol as none of the retailer's pre-order options came sound fitted. Regards Julian

Ah ok, thanks for letting me know

Indeed. The layout is still under construction. If you look at more recent episodes you'll see that there are gantries all around the top level now. I won't be installing any power cables as it makes track maintenance too tricky. All the footage taken is just of testing things out on the layout as I go, rather than anywhere near a finished and representative view. Regards Julian

Many thanks for your comments Dave, that's very kind of you to say, much appreciated. I'll try and do another episode soon! Regards Julian

I'm afraid I have no detailed knowledge of the specifics of real life rakes. I just run the trains for fun and know very little about the facts as to what's prototypical, sorry! Regards Julian

Thank you. It would be much harder to surface jumper the tracks together without it showing if I was using cork underlay or no underlay at all. The foam underlay allows you to easily hide the wiring in it by cutting a slit, it's very concealing and forgiving! As you see, once the ballasting is done it disappears, buried underneath. The track rails are a ready made busbar so a separate bus wire circuit underneath the base board isn't necessary. Regards, Julian

Thank you Susannah, it seems to have worked well, no derailments at all so I'm glad I made the trackwork changes. Regards Julian

Lol...No, I'm the amateur and just bumbling along with my layout build. These Bachmann HHAs are occasionally popping up on eBay at more sensible prices now! Keep your eyes peeled! Regards, Julian

@@theeventhorizon-valebridge9512 yeah I got them between £30 and £35, I’ll add another six a later date but layout won’t have your expect Scale for few years yet. I do like how you run your loco’s at relative speed it gives an element of realism. You see many videos and it’s just someone playing with Hornby yours show a lot of thought has gone into it. I’ve subscribed and with follow, it made me chuckle because the last two freight loco’s I bought where class 66 and class 90 in Freightliner livery as you have. Keep up the good work.

@@frank27a Cheers Frank and welcome to the channel.

Yes indeed. "Well done Wilson, I was waiting to see who'd be the first one to spot that". As with the entire UK since 2010, we're living in the land of confusion, illusion and delusion. A "post reality" society that's resembling the twilight zone! These are all just random trains and rollingstock which are scattered around in boxes hither and thither, or on the layout at any particular time. Like with the Bishop of Bath and Wells, "No form of railway depravity is too low for me. Animal, vegetable or mineral - I'll couple them up and do anything to anything!" when testing. (I may have altered the original quote content somewhat to fit my agenda here!) Nothing I post is meant to be serious, accurate or prototypical. The signalling isn't yet set up, just plugged in mainly....Once the layout's in a mostly completed state.... ("They mostly come at night, mostly".) ... I will try and run more sensible combinations and correct signals! ....but don't count on it! :) I just can't help but not conform! I really don't do "normal" ever! Kind regards, Julian

@@theeventhorizon-valebridge9512 Thou owns it, thou shalt do what one likes with it! lol

Thank you very much, I appreciate the comments. Regards Julian

Thank you very much for watching and your commenting on both of these Traincam videos Deano. Regards Julian

Thank you Dave, appreciated. Welcome to the channel. Regards Julian

Well, I can only recommend the ones that work reliably, if indeed there are any! Unfortunately all 3 of mine developed running issues (faulty motors I think) within a couple of hours and were returned. I've now kind of lost faith in them!...The retailer was worryingly cagey about the issue and in denial of the facts of my experience and in spite of many reports of problems across social media platforms!

@@theeventhorizon-valebridge9512 Oh dear thats a real pity. Maybe another reason to wait a while until they've sorted whetever the issues are! I hope they are able to come up with a solution as visually they are nice models.

@@soundseeker63 Not everyone seems to have had a problem but many people buy them and store them rather than run them. I am guessing the problems I experienced probably come down to component batches bought in at the Chinese factories which have been affected with poor quality control during manufacture. Maybe Covid affected supplies too, who knows!

Thank you. I've posted other videos with train-cam footage. Over time there will be many more videos of different types including rolling stock, cab rides, scenic, layout tours, updates, track plans, loco comparisons, wagons and anything else! Just concentrating on building the layout at the moment. I've a mountain of locos, coaches and many huge rakes of wagons too, all to come in the future!

Thank you Jonathan, most kind, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Regards Julian

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Regards Julian

They are great locos Paul and I'm sure you'll love it. Regards Julian

Hello Ian. When the whole layout is nearer to a basic level of scenic completion I will endeavour to post a layout overview video. Yes, there are 2 interconnecting lines between the two levels. The track plan isn't the best though as the layout has been adapted and changed during its evolution! In hindsight an initial master track plan would have been advisable! Regards Julian

Not any more! They all developed running issues after an just an hour or two of intermittent use and have been sent back! There seems to be a general fault with either a circuit board component or the motor failing. Who knows how many of this batch have this problem.

@@theeventhorizon-valebridge9512 Awwwww no .. do you post on rmweb ?

@@johnson_street_IEMD I don't but you are welcome to share my experience if you post there. Regards Julian

@The Event Horizon - Valebridge Model Railway it's quite an indepth forum and a lot of folk have just got their 92s, I am not an expert modeller despite having a growing electric traction fleet, so would only ever publish such things should I be knowledgeable to deal with the responses. I'm sure folk would be curious about your experiences

@@johnson_street_IEMD I will check out the forum later, thank you. I am no expert either but I know when something is wrong. If you would like to point people on the forum towards my RUclips video and the associated description I've posted, along with the responses of viewers, please be my guest. Regards Julian
