    Hi HH. Interesting technique in painting the model. I noticed with the "container" (as you mentioned in the video) that the first coat of paint didn't want to "stick". Was this down to the choice of paint (Citadel vs Vallejo due to cost) or that you didn't lightly "sand" the surface to create a key? Are the wheels plastic or metal?

  • @peterhiggins3329
    @peterhiggins3329 3 месяца назад

    Noting you are coming from miniature painting I am surprised you left all the mould lines in the buffer stops but the paint job on the sleepers and rail is great. You've done a great job with the Metcalfe tunnel (that comes from your scale modelling experience). Magnetic coupling and uncoupling will improve with experience. Its more difficult in N scale simply because you are dealing with physics: the locos and rolling stock are so much lighter and you don't have the same level of motion control you would have at a larger scale. You would have benefited by using tape to limit ballast where the tunnel was going then fit the tunnel but hey hindsight is a wonderful thing.

    • @hedgehoghobbies2836
      @hedgehoghobbies2836 20 дней назад

      There are lots of things not perfect on the layout, but I am pleased with where it is. I definitely would have done a lot differently with the tunnel if I were to do it again.

    I also have an Inglenook layout. Microtrains (US) makes an axle drag spring. This goes on one of your axle points. Gives just enough drag to help. I put one on each car on the layout. Nice layout, and nice realization of what is really required to operate a session on it.

    sorely tempted to get a router after watching this you _could_ get almost as good a result using something with a 90° inside angle to guide the router - cut each corner separately and the corners will be radiused by the router bit. not as nice as the tic-tac shaped cutout though

    • @hedgehoghobbies2836
      @hedgehoghobbies2836 20 дней назад

      I'd recommend one if you think it is useful. Mines probably a bit big for what I need. You can get smaller ones which would be a bit easier to handle.

  • @RoamingAdhocrat

    I got a bit irritated with two-axle wagons Inglenooking in N gauge - the tolerances are loose enough the whole wagon can rotate while staying on the rails and put the couplings out of alignment! I'm receiving a pile of 2mm finescale track components and some DG couplings soonish. Will have N-gauge and 2mm finescale Inglenooks side by side on the same board and am hoping to see what difference it makes. Thinking I won't attempt uncoupling magnets though - happy enough with "Hand of God" shunting pole to lift loops and act as an impromptu handbrake for loose wagons!

    • @hedgehoghobbies2836
      @hedgehoghobbies2836 20 дней назад

      Yea it does feel like N is really pushing the limits of what works in terms of coupling. Somethings I have to manually re-jig the wagons to get them to line up too. I'd be interested if you found finescale any better...

    • @RoamingAdhocrat
      @RoamingAdhocrat 19 дней назад

      @hedgehoghobbies2836 I got distracted and have yet to install DG couplings on more than one item of stock or finescale track anywhere... I'm working on it but there's so much yak-shaving required for everything...

    Good to have another video from you man. I love these Peco kits. They’re so satisfying to build and paint. I think they’re great value although a fiver? Wow good work. I’m like you and paint things separately for the most part. I tend to use a light grey primer spray can to kick things off, just to save me having to put too many top coats on! Enjoyed the video and watching your process

    • @hedgehoghobbies2836
      @hedgehoghobbies2836 6 месяцев назад

      Thanks Johnny that's very kind. It is nice to hear you enjoyed watching. I think next time I would consider a spray primer, as it took an insane number of coats to cover the parts properly with a brush, although part of the appeal of this little build was being able to sit down at my desk and build something from start to finish. Sometimes it is nice to keep things super simple...
