👍brilliant, as john Lennon once said "just watching the wheels go round" that'll do for me👍👍👍
Hi John, nice to see the trains running around the layout, Piccadilly station looks great as back drop as the trains run by, cheers John, John
Very enjoyable, John. Regards Stephen.
Some great shots John , I do like the ones past the country back scene .
Cheers Kev
Great to see the trains running John. Very satisfying on this Tuesday morning. You don’t have any trouble with missing employees on your railway today. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing. Roy.
Ahh thanks Roy, glad you enjoyed it. Ive told the lil plastic people they HAVE TO WORK, there is no choice. As they are lumps of plastic. I’m in charge, lol
It’s always enjoyable watching trains running around your layout. It’s fun picking out areas that you remember being built or rebuilt. Lol. I’m still waiting for that roof to go on. Just teasing John. No pressure. Take care of yourself. See ya next time.
Oh Norman, if you saw the layout, you’d see how much is simply not done. Itll take years to complete. My aim this year is to complete Piccadilly station, anything else is a bonus.
Hiya John,
Hope your well. What a really great little running session that was . The azuma runs well doesn't it . And the Pendolinos look really ace in avanti livery. Must get round to putting up a few more videos of my layout . You could do with a few more electric locos like a pair of 86's on a liner or a class 92 . Stay safe 🙏 and look forward to next week
Hi Andrew, glad you liked it, struggling for time to do more.
Really sorry to disagree the azumas constantly pulsing, you can hear it on the video, had to run it slow to lessen the problem. Ill give Gaugemaster a ring see they know. Something about back EMF Im sure. The pendlinos run better than 800s now, bizzare isnt it? Especially after all those years of constant derailing. That’s fantastic now, how it should have been when delivered now I made my own couplings.
I did have / have got an 86, but diodes went on the board, got new board and it was a absolute nightmare. Its sitting in bits now. Most of the dapol locos (I have) have same issue, bar 68s, even HSTs they start slowing down and pulsing just like azumas. I had to buy a whole new motorised chassis on one HST ( shouldnt be). Graham farish totally the best, for most locos.
I cant justify a 92 Im afraid, especially as many have reported what poor runners they are too. I do wish farish would update 90s, then I might be tempted.
Great running session, really enjoyed it.
Hi John,
Very nice to see trains running after all is that not why we do all this work for. Well done.
Cheers Robert.
Absolutely Robert, I do enjoy running the trains and it does make a change from building.
So good to see trains running after all that is what its all about. They look brilliant going in and out of Manchester, and at least on this Monday morning yours are running. Have a good week. Eddy xx
Thanks Eddie, glad you enjoyed it.
Were you referring to the forecoming rail strikes or that your own trains were not running?
Nice to have a running session John cheers Al
Nice running session john
John, thanks for taking the time to post this video. I hope you're all right - I could he faint strains of resignation in your voice. Maybe it's the dark amorphous creature sliding down from the shelf to consume the line to New Mills. Or was it just a bag, a piece of clothing, or something equally less sinister! Take care of yourself, John. Dave
Oh Dave, what a very sinister thought, lol. I do suffer a bit from hay fever at this time of year and have been very tired of late. Otherwise Im fine, honestly, worry not.
@@piccadillymodelrailways Have you tried aromatherapy? Someone from my Doctor Who fandom days said it worked for him.
Im fine Dave, honestly. So glad to see David Tennant returning as the doctor though
Hello John, excellent running video. I understand we're both in the education system so I do empathise... All the best, Andy.
Hi, thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. I love working in school, it’s very satisfying working with kids
@@piccadillymodelrailways Ha ha, for me it's more fixing what they break or wear out, including pairs of glasses, snapped guitar necks, shoes, footballs on the roof if you get my drift...Andy.
Lol
Nice to see a good, solid running session. G'wan...do another 😎
Lol, what you like? We’ll see.
Do you have or sell your stl files I want to build a small terminal on my tail chaser stain set?
Hi,
I do create most of my own files, but they are very bespoke to my build. I don’t have anything that you could say is a small terminal I’m afraid, sorry. I’m reluctant to start selling files as the tax bit soon get complicated and I then have a business, which something I’m avoiding. Thingiverse may have something or Scalescenes down load kits. You buy, download it print and mount to card, they are very good, can be fiddly, but worth it. Just remember to varnish with acrylic Matt varnish to seal it, Probably your best bet if I’m honest.

Great to see some train action John. quick question if you added 2 carriages to your virgin class 43 would it still fit on the platform and if yes what length is your platform you have? Stay safe.
Hi Mike, I decided on max of 7 coaches on the HSTs because they will easily fit on the train lift, which is 1400mm long, any longer they wont fit. The pendolinos are longer but they stay on top all the time now and never go to the fiddle yard below.
@@piccadillymodelrailways Thanks for the info looking at 9 car plus power cars seen your 7 plus2 with spare length so had to ask. Stay safe
Ahhhh I see, just measured it. 7 + 2 is 1320mm plus two coaches (310mm), approximately 1630mm for the nine coach HST. Hope that helps.
@@piccadillymodelrailways Thanks John very handy. Stay safe
Nice running session John. Always good to see your trains whizzing around the layout. Cheers Euan
Very nice running session John!!! Love it!! Thanks for sharing! Cheers Onno.
Would love to see a intercity 225 on this layout
Hi Liam, if you send it over I’ll run it.
Sadly I have 00 guage so wouldn’t be any good to you, still an amazing layout with great amount of stock. Love the northern rail fleet
Oh I thought you were referring to the OO gauge as the N gauge version is pre DCC and definitely not something I’d even attempt these days.
There are are a few good quality OO gauge electric locos appearing now. The ECML / WCML are great modelling choices now
Hi John, it's good to see that Piccadilly is looking at beautiful as ever. It's been a while since I've been able to catch up with developments and I can see that I've got some catching up to do. All looking absolutely brilliant John but then it always has. Very best wishes to you, Ian
Thanks Ian, very kind of you. Still masses to do, but I aim to complete Piccadilly this year
Where do you get your trains from
Hi it depends on what you are after…?
The n gauge trains you have
Well… that’s a fair few. You can buy new at HATTONS, Rails of Sheffield and many model shops and eBay ofc.
Sorry it’s very vague but it’s hard to suggest without being specific.
@@piccadillymodelrailways thanks
