- New content continues into 2022 - this video is a 1st January 2022 Model Railway Build Update. A New Year's special edition featuring Track Enhancements, on the Escarpment.
There is a special announcement later in the video that will please a number of viewers and is well worth sticking around for!
This video covers a number of track enhancements being made on the Escarpment. We cover the following:
- Replacing a curved set of points for a larger radius one
- Re-designing the way Coal Trains come from the Coal un-loading loop and crosses over to the main yard lead track. This enables these Coal Trains to now reverse into Port Kembla North yard
- A number of re-configurations to free up major sidings at Port Kembla
This video catches up on all the Track news and so much more!

All the build and track planning has been undertaken in Anyrail 6, for the Escarpment construction. This is an HO Australian model train layout build.

Hi Jason. Happy new year from the UK. Small changes can make a big difference when operating the layout. Stay safe and let’s hope for a better 2022. Steve
Hi Steve, yes indeed and there are a few more tweaks required as I work my wY around the industries that will be present on the layout..cheers
Hi ya Jason. That was a very detailed and succinct explanation of your track enhancements. It’s a good thing I wasn’t drinking anything when you showed the insert film, after your steam loco announcement. It would have been all over my iPad screen. Lol. Happy New Year, Jason, to you and your family and friends. Thanks for all the great videos. Take care. See ya next time.
Hi Norman, thanks for the feedback. Yeah, that was my favourite scene lol. Same to you and will catch you on the next video..regards
Happy New Year Jason. Enjoyed the track video update.
Thanks Jim, happy new year to you..cheers
thank you for the great detailed video
look at steel coil operation out port Kembla going to South Australia
Thanks Robert, thanks for the tip
Happy New Year from the UK Jason. Good to see 2022 carries on from where you finished off in the 2021 December update. The layout continues to develop and you are right not to start scenery until you are happy with the track configuration and taking time to think things through is definately the correct course of action. Shame you have succumbed to buying a kettle LOL but I was PMSL at the guy with the firework. Great work. All the best.
Lol at the kettle Scott. Thanks for the feedback. As I work through the types of industry there will be more tweaks to the track, as only yesterday I have made more minor changes. Just finished the level 3 new siding, so no rest for the wicked, so to speak..regards
Great update Jason and wishing you the best for 2022. Take care - Kevin.
Thanks Kevin, same to you..cheers
Ideas for industrial sidings….
Acid (Port Network)
Bitumen (Cringila)
Coil loading (Lysaghts)
Slab loading (Cringila)
Wagon Repair siding (Port Nth)
Fuel (Port Nth)
Thanks Gary, have noted them down and have started thinking through this more of late. Already planning more track tweaks lol..cheers
Nice video you done.Hope to see you in 2022.Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Medway, happy new year! Cheers
@@JasonWood_Escarpment Thanks very much for replying to my comment. More uploads in 2022 to look out for and supporting my channel..Take Care & Stay Safe.
Happy New Year Jason, steam yes please , that branch line ,I remember on the Carlton city line , there's a train cleaning and service center if I remember correctly, work well in that spot 😊😊😊😊😊
Hey Aussie, shouldn't be too far away. Hope to get a sound chip into her in the next few days and see how she runs. Yes, planning to have those types of facilities on the level 3 coach depot area..cheers
Happy New Year Jason. The enhancements are awesome. Looking forward to the new year and what happens on the layout. Thanks for sharing, stay safe. Ken
Thanks for the feedback Ken. Hope all is good in your neck of the woods..cheers
Thank You for posting. Happy New Year!
You're welcome and same to you..cheers
Ah steam at last Jason, looking forward to that mate. I’ve only used large radius points on my layout and have tried to keep everything fairly simple in terms of junctions and things. Even so when I come to lay the track permanently I will make some changes. But what you’ve done looks good to me Jason, great work as usual.
Happy New Year, cheers John
Hi John, yeah it will be the one and only, bit of a special touring ride for the layout. The funny thing is now that I'm sorting through industries for running sessions, I have more tweaks..regards
Great video Jason. I think the track enhancement was worth it as it allows for more realistic running of trains. Happy new year. - Nicholas.
Thanks Nicholas, appreciate the feedback. There are already more tweaks for level one lol..happy new year to you as well.. regards
Happy New Year. Be safe. Loved the fireworks part 👍👍
Cheers Fred, yeah when I came across that, I just had to fine a fitting place for it lol..regards
Happy New Year Jason i hope your doing good see you next year
Hi Dwight. Wait, it is already next year..or did you mean 2023 🤣😂. Hopefully it will not be one of the years we would rather skip entirely..regards
Jason Wood feliz año mucha salud prosperidad y que cumplas todas tus metas asi como la maravillosa construccion de tu maqueta pues es un excelente ejemplo para todos los que queremos construir algo similar. Desde San Luis Potosi, Mexico un fuerte abrazo bye
Hi Roberto, thanks for watching and happy new year..regards
Happy New Year Jason.
Same to you! Regards
Very interesting fro see the enhancement. Of course you need a Steam Engine to grace your layout (yippee). Look forward to seeing that in due course. Happy New Year Stephen
Thanks Stephen. Yes will put a DCC sound chip in her tomorrow, so I can test her out..cheers
Great video, a sub from me look forward to following your channel in 2022 all the best -Mark
Hi Mark, thanks for being part of the journey..lots happening and lots to come this year..regards
Hi Jason, Thanks again for all the hours of pleasure your videos have given in 2021. Not to mention a really good laugh every now and again. Wishing You and Yours a healthy, happy and perhaps even prosperous 2022. With very best wishes from Northern Scotland.
Hi John, my pleasure and glad you enjoy them. Same to you and family..regards
I’ve watched several of your videos and subscribed and in the videos I see you sitting in front of the 3 labels of track plans hanging on the wall behind you but I haven’t found a video that shows them. Can you direct me to the video with the track diagrams or post them in your next video? Thank you. I’m enjoying your channel and layout build.
Hi Derek, welcome to the channel, hope you get some inspiration from it. That is a bloody good question! Those videos were probably from my original channel a few years ago. I don't know whether I went through those on a video. I did do a virtual tour using Anyrail 6. But I probably only shared those on my Facebook group. I will need to have a look..will get back to you..cheers
Yes, I saw the virtual tour and it was amazing. I understood that it was done with the mouse and I’m sure everyone would love to see a video on how to do that on anyrail6 as well as a video containing the layout diagrams whether on anyrail6 or from the sheets on the wall. Thank you.
Unfortunately Derek, those are from a few years ago and there has been a number of track changes since. I haven't kept them up to date. If you have messenger, send me a PM and I can send you the plans..cheers
Happy new year Jason, do you ever get any distortion from the rail cutters? In N gauge I found the Xuron did not give a clean cut so i got a dremel and using the 25mm discs got a good cut. Not sure if the 25mm discs would work on the HO track ? I use the PSX and have pizo's on all, amazing. Anyway great video as usual and great work.
Happy new year to you as well! I usually just have to file the ends at 90 degrees and under the rail to get the distortion out and then have no trouble with the rail joiners. I power every piece of track so don't rely on joiners for conductivity. The dremel will work just fine on HO, as I have done in the past. Yeah the pizo are my insurance policy lol..regards
Happy new year Jason! The new track arrangements look good. I always think the best track planning happens after you've laid track and run trains. You soon realize what works and what doesn't lol As you model the Illawarra, have you considered putting a milk depot in that space?
Hi Neale, happy new year to you too! That is an industry I will look into..cheers
