Hi - love the layout and your attention to detail. Could you tell me where you get the 4 bar wooden fencing from? Thanks

It’s looking fantastic. Can I ask in a previous video where you created the yard road with foam underlay, what underlay did you use and what thickness is it? Cheers Ian.

Hi, love the railway and the trains you run. A couple of thoughts for you. The headshunt in the goods yard would be perfect for an engine shed, as the main shed is not close. Also, the goods shed seems a bit small relative to the other buildings and the colour is very different. I would have thought a bigger shed would give the space more gravitas! 4:35

Anything that is turned on i.e. Pullman coaches will definitely pull current. As for longevity, if the lights are the traditional incandescent globes then isolating the track to prolong the life of globes would be a good idea! if they're LED then I wouldn't worry!

If the lights in the carriages are LEDs it's not a problem as the current drain is very small. If they are some sort of incandescent bulb the heat buildup around them might be a fire hazard.

Excellent Andy. All coming along nicely, superb detail 👌 ATB to you.Stuart

Its really good watching you and your work,i seem to spend a long time looking at what i want to do then when im up to starting it i change my mind lol.

This layout is FANTASTIC! First rate modelling imo. 👍🙂

The ol ?of peace of mind. POM. I shunt the coaches into a dead siding as in reality when stabled the lights would be off, except say when cleaning/ maintenance being carried out. Brewery, I’d say less is more & open areas like you have were a reality. Uncluttered. Freedom of movement saved time & £. Despite the staith a lorry can be backed straight up to a wagon. Uncoupling & shunting made easier. Perhaps just stick a beware of trains sign on adjacent wall. After all you are modelling the era where common sense reigned. Layout is looking really good in 1D, must be a real delight in 3D. Thanks for sharing.

It’s looking great, giving me som great ideas. Out of curiosity what is the rural photo backdrop you’ve got for the brewery & goods shed sidings area?

Do the carriages not have a decoder board of any kind? If so, you could switch them off using that. LEDs use very, very little electricity, so I don't think they will impact your quarterly bill, they also last a very long time. It is the OCD in you that wants them off, I know how you feel.

Every time you post a new video it looks better and better 😊😊😊😊

Great progress Andy, yes extend the fencing in the brewery yard and don't forget some 'Beware of Trains' signs at the access points.

Great progress Andy. Fence - No Fence? I am in the pro-fence lobby with the gaps like you said and perhaps some of those sleeper paths from one gap to another.... I cannot think of any reason other than it would look nice maybe and offer areas for little cameos like two shunters having a yarn, the brewery apprentice tasked with painting it etc. I also thought the other suggestion below to have a cameo of the security fence was a great idea too. Keep the videos coming they will be so useful for me when I finally get the chance to build Grandad's Train Room 2.0

Great wee video, i think fencing adds definition to a layout, and a brewery would either be surrounded by a wall or fencing.

i subscribed u channal i am building an english modelrailway here in netherlands and have also 5 of those coaches so far i dont notice much of huge power drain so far but thads maybe caused by i have only 2 trains so far in my colecktion and running although both has sounds on

To give that wall a bit of height, why not put some shrubbery/trees behind it. It'll also help the backdrop to blend in. I really enjoy your channel, your layout looks amazing.

Hi. As for the coach lighting or anything else on the layout I use a 13a socket adapter. Remote Control Plug Socket,13A/3120W Wireless Light Switch 30M/100ft Operating Range for Household Appliances, 5 Pack Sockets and 2 Remotes. If you do need a 5 pack there are smaller packs available.

Coming along nicely Andy, looks great. Byvthe tunnel mouths, id be tempted to put a wing wall in then meet the fencing to that. With brewey, i dont think you'll need to fence it all in, the whole yard is gated, and you already walled the front of the brewery

The railway looks GREAT. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Looking great, pullmans are a disease, ask me how i know...😊 isolating tracks are a good thought. They don't draw much, but it may save you from needing an extra booster

Great update all looking good, I think a small (see through) fence between the brewery and rails would look ok. Attention to detail is second to none, keep it up as for the coach lights I'm still `old school` DC so its not an issue for me as such but I have isolated sections with plastic fishplates so I can run serval trains on the same track (although wiring is a nightmare lol) so if you have storage sidings I would just isolate with plastic fishplate on one rail with a switch. Many thanks for sharing regards Barry.👍

Ahhh, more of those Pullman coaches that look like they have a giant penguin at each window looking out 😃

Great video. It caming along great. Its your layout. You please yourself. To me it all looks great. I did have a layout in our loft but cold and drafty in the winter 🥶❄️ and to 🥵 in the summer. Then son number 2 came along. I did try to make my layout so a oil turmoil. As i did work for many happy years at ici north tees works up here in Cleveland Cleveland Cleveland

Hi, I'm not whizz on electrics but I would isolate a siding to store your coaches. Regards John

Brilliant update As for the fencing by in the yard All depends what years your modelling Health and safety was non existent till about the 50s lol ATB Sion

Just remember that variety is the spice of life!

Good to see another video. Run the fence to the tunnel mouth it will be fine. No fence behind the Colliery The layout is looking great. I know nothing about lights in carriages. But lights in coaches are often left on during the day and if they have to be on all the time because of power going to the track so be it.

With trains sitting in sidings for hours its a good idea to isolate them. more to protect the decoders rather than the lights, the led lights have a much better lifespan than the old globes and dont really draw much power, regards

Another interesting video good to see other parts of your layout with trains running a good question about the lights on all the time I to would like to know the answer to that too cheers

Good see you put vid out on channel keep up the good video thanks lee

Hi I have many sidings with an isolation switch so that my locos are not powered when not in use. I haven’t any lit carriages (yet) but I would set them up in a siding I can shut down when not in use. Cheers Peter from downunder.

The layout is looking pretty good. As an alternative to installing the security fencing around the brewery. you could have a lorry with fencing on it and a crew of guys installing the fence posts for the fence. It tells a story and saves a little work. plus if you don't like it, later you can change it around by adding the fence in spots to show progress.

Having trouble sleeping Andy 😊.

Great job Andy, can I ask where you got that foam board at all? Thinking about using it for a few projects myself. Please let me know kind regards Callum.

Well, that's me subscribed 🙂Love the idea with the foam sheet cobbles. I wish I'd seen this technique when I'd started my harbour scene! Great stuff.

As always, a great job 👍👍 Such talent and skill 😍😍

I was hoping for the streamlined version! 😢

I used hedging along my back edge from K and M trees.

I think what you have done with the foam board looks superb. I understand it will take longer to produce but, think of it as an ‘investment’ as you will be looking at it for any years to come. Ultimately the choice of course is yours.

Could the security fence posts be shortened and attached to the top of the wall?

Don't stress about the brewery yard 'security'. The wall is fine with no fencing or interpretation of higher security. GW

Pop to a DIY shop & look at textured wall paper. There are a few that make very good cobbles.

The more I see of it the better it looks keep up the good work 😊😊

Great video it's changing all the time and progress is amazing great ideas looks so good maybe the back wall needs to be a bit higher to identify the change to goods yard to break the back scene slightly or even add some of the security fencing to it

Model U sells guttering and down pipes, which you might be interested in

Really enjoying your posts 😊 Great to other folks techniques and thought processes. Regarding the wall height, had you considered some spiked-top railings mounted on top? Might be a bit more inkeeping with the brewery style?

Fantastic update mate so like thr brewery makes me really want a bigger shed can't wait to see more 😀 👍🏼

Hi regardless of security guards overnight or not your fencing tops with barbed wire must face inwards and not outward. Hope this is of some guidance. Regards John

good update on layout keep up the cool work
