Thanks Darrell, I was about to text you. Yes took nearly a week to produce this! Much easier to work with someone else at the controls as regards filming. He has got the hang of this! Did you see the outtakes at the end. A huge spider is visiting regularly!
@@CHESEABUN yes mate, he’s a biggun! Just really enjoyed looking from the drivers perspective of the extra details you’ve put into your layout especially through the cuttings and embankments with the foliage
Thank you for the kind comments and thanks for watching. The sound file for the Class 47 is from South West Digital SWD. The model is a Bachmann one I bought around 3/4 years ago. 47 001.
Many thanks for sharing this wonderful cab ride through your cement works. Looking forward to the next one, garden section looks good despite the shorter journey. Take care ..
Thanks, Wanted to go for the dirty worn industrial look on the walls. The class 14 has gone through some modifications recently. It used to run really poor which is an issue with this model apparently looking at forums. I had the sound decoder changed to You choos, pick ups on all six wheels and of course flashing amber lights installed on the roof for industrial use. Many thanks Richard.
Thank you. I got Liam my daughters other half to operate not just the trains but points and signals as well. It’s a lot easier to film whilst someone else is controlling. Obviously we worked to a scheduled script. Cheers Richard.
Fantastic Richard. I love to see a model railway that actually has a purpose and particularly when it involves shunting. I have just retired 3 weeks ago after 42 years in rail mostly as a shunter and this was just brilliant. I would be interested in a video of the wagons being placed in the siding on the outside siding. Love the work you have done and you may be interested to know that in Queensland, Australia we use the same types of signals as our system came from Britain. Even down to the 3 aspect Position Light signals, 4 aspect signals on the quadrupled sections and multi position Route indicators (lunar lights) and also some Theatre Boxes. I really like your layout and hope you will do more of these videos. Would have been nice if you could have re-built the outside section but I guess you need the budget to do it. Keep up the great videos.
Many thanks from watching from Aus! The outside section of the layout was damaged during a storm early this year. As well as that the fence it was attached to was rotten and had to be replaced. So I had to dismantle the rest of the outside section. To be honest it’s not the budget but the maintenance of the outside section. Can take hours before running one single train! Cheers Richard.
@@CHESEABUN Hi Richard, yes I knew about the storm and fence needing to be replaced from a previous video. I think I have watched all of your Ballan Parkway videos. I have heard that outside layouts require a lot of maintenance before a session. But I also think your inside running is good as well. Just a question about your main station; is there no way to actually run around a train via the other platforms? I must admit I have not seen any cross-overs so I guess the answer will be no. But the interesting thing about you running around a circle is that in Brisbane we actually have a circle that goes through 5 stations and when I shunted at Roma Street Station which was the main station on the circle we had to sometimes send trains right around the circle to access a different part of the yard. On occasion the signalman would forget to set up the route for a train to come into the yard and the train would have go around the circle. So there is at least one prototypical situation you have covered. Looking forward to the next video.
It is indeed a working semaphore signal. I am having problems with the infrared train detector for its operation.it does not seem to detect a passing train anymore. I need to clean or replace the sensor. The actual signal is fine.
Thank you 🙏. I do need to fit led lights at sometime above the layout for More realistic lighting. After phase four extension is completed. Cheers Richard.
@@johnhopkinson695 Similar move. I came down with my Parents .At first took me a couple of years to adjust and didn’t feel at home but after a few years eventually felt home. North and South culture changes I think? It takes time to establish new friends etc. And of course met my wife down here two years after moving. I used to work at Kitchen creation in Sheepbridge not far from Unstone. I believe the company folded eventually? I do visit Derbyshire from time to time but not as much now. I think it’s due another visit soon and there is talk of a few of us going to Barrow Hill next year? Where abouts in Kent are you? Have a couple of customers for the work I do over there.
Love the Cement works ... Good job!
Always a good way to see a layout from the cab ...and nice to see the size of your layout
Thanks David. If you are ever down this way pop in.
Absolutely brilliant mate! Really enjoyed the journey, must have taken you ages to put that together, excellent bit of driving by Liam 👍 nice one
thanks

Lovely shun!ting session, I do love the realistic speed restrictions, and the track & stock weathering!
What? sound file & model 47 is that Richard.

Thankyou. The garden section goes on a little bit more to the end of the fence where the station now is. Thanks for watching. Richard
Really enjoyed watching this video totally different way of seeing your layout 😀👍
Thank you for the kind comments.
Absolutely wonderful! Outstanding detail and realism!
Thank you!
I do like the level of weathering on your layout. A most suitable level of grime and undergrowth for a British 80s railway scene.
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Brilliant, I love those dark grey retaining walls and the class 14 in the works.

Brilliant video! Really enjoyed it. Good driving and scale speeds. Great view "from the cab".

Good start to my tuesday morning 👍 Cheers
Excellent! .. enjoyed it all the way :)
Thank you!

Excellent video. I love how you have the operating Shunt Signals. Is that a working semaphore at Tackley End? It always is in the off position (Go)
It is indeed a working semaphore signal. I am having problems with the infrared train detector for its operation.it does not seem to detect a passing train anymore. I need to clean or replace the sensor. The actual signal is fine.
an enjoyable 30 minutes, thank you
Thank you for watching.
Did you get a job lot of 'limited clearance' signs by any chance ?
No. They are from Eagle one models off e bay. Really good value.
At 5:55, the signal clears BEFORE the points change! I've never seen that before.
Amazing quarry!
Thanks!
Which type of camera are you using? It gives an an excellent picture.
I am using a Mobius Dashcam. Ta Richard.
@@CHESEABUN Thank you, it is very impressive, sound is good as well, will have to investigate this!!
Loving the great siding on the left @12:10
Thanks. Before the Cement works was built I was thinking of having a scrap/ metal yard. Then I came across The Walthers Cement works kit.
@@CHESEABUN I must say, it is superb!
A cab ride in a Duff around a very nice layout….what’s not to like?👍
Thank you 🙏. I do need to fit led lights at sometime above the layout for More realistic lighting. After phase four extension is completed. Cheers Richard.
Sulzer sounds great 👍
1.14 Hailsham Road bridge. I live in Hailsham, any chance you are local?
Yes.
Awesome.
Most enjoyable. Calleywhite and Gosforth - Dronfield connections? I used to live in Unstone.
Hi John, yes I used to live at Dronfield. It’s really where I had grown up. Left to move to Sussex in 1988 at the young age of 23. Cheers Richard.
@@CHESEABUN I moved to Kent in 1990.

32.2ft x 10ft Cheers Richard.

Wonderful ... but could have done without the enormous Wolf Spider spoiling the fun.
