Hi Mick. I wanted to comment on your new video to say thank you for another brilliant one and to say how amazing the 17’ train looks. But comments are turned off. Anyway, hope you’re well and always enjoy your videos. Take care.
Yet another fantastic video I’m amazed how much stock you keep buying. I cannot keep up with you but I did give you a shout out on my live stream on Monday night and told everybody they should watch your videos very impressive. I have lots of stock, but you have more than me ATB Bernie
Thanks for the update excellent video a joy to watch pond scene is very realistic Accurascale products are top quality dapol foster yeoman freight train is superb great running session
@@michaelsmith-hn1cnMichael our welcome and thanks very much for replying to my comment. I enjoy watching other people's work to get idea to improve my Channel. Take care DD
Hi Mick, I’ve been a subscriber for a while …. Lovely layout you have and good variety of stock …. Really good details and ideas as well …. And congrats on completing the upgrade projects …. Looks really good …. And the Bachmann Class 90s are lovely loco’s 👍
Hi Mick Excellent job on both the new area and the re livery too. I missed Ally Pally due to a holiday booking cock up other wise I would have said hello. Cheers Kev
I did not go but I have heard that Ally Pally had something missing, not just some decent food!. I heard that there were a lot of blank spaces that people were standing in and causing issues for the people that were there. Anyway bloody good to have you back and all the best with getting to 5k.
Yes your correct, what was there was good but you could see there was less than usual. Hornby were not there neither was Hornby magazine to name 2. Thanks for your comment and watching this video. You take care. Mick
I joked before the exhibition that Hornby would not be there because they would need security. However it turned out not to be a joke. I do not care what their reason is. I think we all know that they were worried about the amount of abuse they would get.
@@maringarvanovic8011 Your bang on Marin about that. Whilst I was on the Accurascale a Bachmann rep turned up to have a look at their products, I said to him you can take a leaf out of their book. If Accurascale and sell at a reasonable price why can't Hornby and Bachmann, there taking the P---. Bye for now
Thumbs up and I've not watched the video yet! I know it will be a good one. Now I've watched it, love the crows it just gives it that added touch of realism, love the lights on the Royal Mail wagons for the same reason. Superb layout update.
Hi Mick another great video showing off your excellent craftsmanship...I’m simply amazed how you get the inspiration to do the add ons like the crows in the trees and re do the track ...simply the best mate...sorry I couldn’t make AP...regards Chris
Thanks Chris. More crows on the way plus more. The track looks and works better now. May be we will meet up at The Great Electric Trian show in October. Thanks again for the support. Mick
I am only 5 minutes in to the video but already i feel I just have to comment. Your track work is simply amazing! The weathering, and subtle changes in the ballast colour just looks so realistic! Even the rust on the sides of the rails is done in a way to make it look so realistic. It really sets your layout apart from many others. The shots of those sweeping curves just look so good, I have to admit I am sad to think I am about to watch you lift them. But I am sure the newly laid section will look just as good. Like i say, i am only 5 minutes in, but just could not stop myself from commenting. Right, back to the video! Edit: The new section looks fantastic, the curves look even better! And the class 90 looks superb in the livery you have given it, will be great to see a pair double heading in the future. A wonderful layout, and always a joy to watch.
Crikey Mick, that was a long video. Very good though. It was great to see how you lay your track and ballast it. At first I thought there was nothing wrong with the way it looked but it certainly looks better in the finished version. Loved the crows. Great running session too. Roy didn't make it to Ally-Pally. Regards, David.
Hello David. Sorry to hear Roy was not at the show hope he's ok. Hope your keeping both well and thanks for the comment. I just had to make a change it just needed it and very pleased with the result. Thanks again for watching. Keep them Canadian loco's coming. You stay safe. Mick
Hi mick great video layout looks great now them 90s do look great in freightliner keep up the ace work I finally got my colas 68 back and it’s going great need to finish mine off next it’s people like yourself that makes me want todo more to my layouts the stobart containers look great cheers paul
Thank you very much for your comment, appreciated. I'm glad what I do gives help and idea's to others, that's what this hobby is about. All the best. Mick
@@michaelsmith-hn1cn yes it does Mick I want To go into the man cave today but my kids are off school Easter holidays and they make me very nervous when they move everything lol 😂😂 cheers Paul
Wow wow wow wow, mick what’s update that is, fantastic mick, less is more they say and with the flow of the curves just awesome, great job, repaint on the 90 looks mint too look forward to the double header sometime soon, Well you were right about the parking at ally pally it was the same for us on the Sunday, we didn’t pay, a good show but a lot of hype but venue is stunning, food as you say shocking zero really, What’s the next show you’re at ???? We’ll take care mick and hope you & family are good sir 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hello Mark. What a comment EXCELLENT. It could be Kettering but will for sure be at the Great Electric Train show in October. I will be going on the Saturday. Thanks again for your continued support. You and your other half stay safe. We are doing ok. Mick
Hi Mick, absolutely love your scenery. Very realistic. Can I ask do you have a method for sealing layers of scenery? Everyone seems to spray with scenic cement but I have found this method lends itself to the scenic cement ending up on parts of the scenery you don't want it on.
No I not going to pay Hornby prices, I'm happy to run the bachmann Pullman. Thanks for asking hope you and your family are well. May soon you at some point. Take care.
Hi Michael great track update, can you put me down for the new centre build please, how much? Tesco delivery taking it to another level with "Less CO2" wagons straight pass the door, every little helps (lol). Good tip about couplings and wheel cleaning, many thanks for sharing can't wait for the next one please take care and remain safe..
Great work again Mick. The resprayed 90 looks fantastic. Also the new housing estate looks very convincing.
Thank you very much for your comment and for your support. Take care. Mick
Yes, love the network southeast thanks for running it out. How to video was very interesting this time!! Amazing trackwork and general detail
Thanks Dan for the comment. Take care. Mick
Lovely layout, just weird seeing the log train at 57.00 plus propelling back across a line showing a green aspect ! Great work.
Yes that's my thought I should have changed the signal. Thanks for watching and the comment. All the best. Mick
Love the new sweeping curves. As you say, looks more realistic. Even the overgrown grass area (where the building estate was) looks great. Well done.
A big thanks for the comment and your support. Take care. Mick
