There's a strong yearning to turn back the clock of time to a simpler and slower world with many of these model railways. The model detailing and photography here is stunning, and I don't how to describe the work you must have put in!
This video begs the question why buy sound fitted steam locos when the compressed sound they give out is a world away from what they really sounded like this? You and Neville Grove show this expertly with perfect synching. Scenery, weathering and attention to detail is truly mesmerising. Manufactures should let you use their new releases free to demo them. Well done keep it up.
Agreed John - I saw a full size one derail on Wednesday at my local heritage line! A class 37 had a rescue the train whilst they craned the tender back onto the tracks!
Looking at the weather here and comparing it to your dales reminds me that before ‘designer’ cagoules we had canvas type material that we had to treat to make them waterproof. So I think that aboard your trains, the visitors would have these old cagoules with old thermos flasks of tea so they had no need for buffet cars. Once again a great video that rattled the old grey cells. Thank you.
Love your model railway, it has a more realistic feel than many others especially the audio. Great job on a fantastic look back at a great time for English rail.
I’ve been lucky enough to work on one of these locomotives in real life. I did an experience day at spa Valley Railway where I got to drive, fire and guard for a day. You really understand how big these engines are when you’re underneath it, coupling up to a carriage.
Mighty Pacifics, that really was the title. Tranquil countryside with birds singing hikers walking perfect next to the canal, and then what's that noise coming from the tunnel?? I'm sure I could feel the ground shaking and the noise building, they really were monsters plying there trade. Wonderful story line yet again Lewis, the goods train was full moving its load around the countryside. Wonderful filming, brilliant sound effects, and a fantastic turn around. Thanks Lewis, Eddy xx
Aaah😅 the delightful english countryside layout is here again to make our day. Lovely introductory stills, the guys on the barge, is new, or was it there😊 i really didnt see that before, lol also a high up angle downwrds on train as it moves away into tunnel. The isolated lady at Ponden must have been peeved off, she iswondering if she missed her train to home/ work?😂 seeing the goods consist rumbling through. Otherwise a great delivery as usual. Also loved that eerie silence in beginning just before the passenger service came into view from tunnel at Mistlewaith' signalbox
The word is Wow! Lovely layout and beautifully captured on the video. Love that the interior of the tunnel is truly dark too. Far too often you can through into a fiddle yard or non-scenic area through a tunnel mouth which is a real spoiler.
Splendid ! Two of the finest Pacifics of BR : the Bob/West Country class and the Britannia ! I would also have added a Clan Class, but you might not have one on hand...
Great video, and I haven’t even seen the engine pop out the tunnel yet!! Beauty of an engine, as well….thanks always for your videos, Steve in Minneapolis,Minnesota
Creative filming and excellent use of sound. I can admit that I would like to see some of your people move from time to time. The man on the coal shovel looks like he may have a sore back, and the man on the switch building may need a bathroom break :) Thanks for your fine efforts. Ronn
Very nice Lewis. I really like the rebuilt Bulleid Pacifics, but that original one you have does look the part, and I can see why people like them so much, they might grow on me I think. I admit I thought all their querky features were something brilliant for the time. Your van train Brittania looks wonderful and so well weathered, it really is a lovely model. Did I spot one of your Accurascale Siphon G vehicles now weathered in the middle of the train. Anyway, such a great pleasure to watch your layout still, even after so much time has passed, always one of the best on here. All the best and happy modelling Dave.
Thanks Dave, always appreciate it. I like the rebuilt versions as well, I remember reading that a lot of drivers thought them the best of the best in BR days. Yes well spotted!
A really enjoyable video ,Lewis .Especially the line side shots ,takes me back to my train spotting days ,in Mill Hill London ,that was mainly diesels but still enjoyable .Thankyou keep up the good work .😊
Even with their sad neutral low-key BR livery, those Merchant Navy units look mightily impressive - all the more on these local sinuous Yorkshire country tracks!❤
The goods train may be the longest I have seen you run, Lewis. Mighty Pacifics, indeed! Did you suspend yourself from the rafters to get those overhead shots? Hope there is someone else there to get you down if you get stuck!
Stunning lay-out, always a pleasure to watch, can i just note that 4.52 when the engine is running around, your shunt disc should be yellow and black, not the white and red, sorry dont mean tobe a critic, cant fault your workmanship, keep the vids coming, 👍👍
Lewis, still waiting for your modelling school to open so i can sign up and learn your weathering wizardry ... Hint hint 😂 great video as usual, nice to see both layouts in use, that camera pan over the farm track bridge never gets old
Just wondering Lewis when the green locomotive at the 5 min 42 sec of the video reverses away from the station should the lamp at the front of the locomotive be moved to the rear of the tender. Enjoyable video. Cheers Greg
Only two Pacific steamies running? Very nice, but what about Mallard? She's an LNER A4 Pacific, so she should have been running as well. Please give Mallard a run next time, I'll bet she's crying for another run on your railway.
@@MouldyRaspberry And give the engines faces by buying more some Hornby and Bachmann Thomas train sets, accessories, engines, coaches, freight cars, and cabooses, and Harry Potter's Hogwarts Express to recreate scenes of the movies and cartoons and films.
Lovely loco’s Lewis looking grand
Thanks David 👍🏻
lovely pair of trains...
Thanks 👍🏻
Thanks again Lewis nice set of sequences again, great atmosphere as usual.
Thanks Brian 👍🏻
Dear Mouldy, thank you for catching the Pacific visitors on your beautiful layout - great sounds and action always much appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed it Martin!
Very nice running session as usual Lewis!!! Thanks for sharing this video! Cheers Onno.
Cheers Onno!
Magnificent sight on the layout. Cheers
Thanks Davie 👍🏻

Think that Merchant Navy gave the train a bit of a rough shunt Mr Mouldy. The guard spilt his tea in the end coach! Nice vid. 😊
Agreed John - I saw a full size one derail on Wednesday at my local heritage line! A class 37 had a rescue the train whilst they craned the tender back onto the tracks!
@@MouldyRaspberry Blimey. Bet that caused some confusion.

That’s the life! I still bring my trusty flask of tea on trains now!
Love your model railway, it has a more realistic feel than many others especially the audio.
Great job on a fantastic look back at a great time for English rail.

Beautifully filmed . Very atmospheric .Well done
Thanks David!

Ah that’s great! I’d love to do one of those.
I'm in the US, but follow NYMR closely.
You have it right!
Sound sync is great!
Thanks for posting!!!
Thanks very much!
What an awesome diorama associated with a nice train operation presented to us in this video. Great! Greetings from Germany
Thank you very much!

Hi from Glasgow Scotland 🏴 Another great video 📹 from you young man I've got a older Honbay Spam can Thanks again for the video 📹
Thanks very much Cameron, always appreciate it!
Thanks for the video. Enjoyed it.

Another great one Lewis 😊 👌😎☕️ just makes me smell the coffee 👍🏻
Thanks mate!
I really enjoy your uploads and appreciate all the time and dedication spent constructing your layout.
Thanks Mark 👍🏻
Fabulous Layout Lewis!!! Always love watching your videos!!!!👏👏👏👏
Thanks mate!
Lovely running session. Just looks so great on your layout. Nice one.
Thanks very much!
Love your layout, it’s amazing how big you make it look. I find it so relaxing to watch 👌👍
Thanks, glad you enjoy it!
I love your nostalgic world of steam in miniature. Wonderful sound effects too.
Thank you 😀
Great to see the Pacific’s in action👍🏻.
Glad you enjoyed it Rob 👍🏻
Stunning! Beautiful video my friend!
Thank you 👍🏻
Hi Lewis always good to see a new vid still think yours is the best layout on RUclips hope you never tire of doing more
Thanks Denis!!
You never cease to amaze me with how long a video, you can make on that relatively short lay out 😮😮😮
Haha thanks!
Splendid ! Two of the finest Pacifics of BR : the Bob/West Country class and the Britannia ! I would also have added a Clan Class, but you might not have one on hand...
Thanks Olivier. Ah I don’t have a clan, but my other pick would be a duchess or A4 I think!
Super! Widziane z każdej perspektywy 👍
Jedyne takie miejsce z trakcją parową które nieustannie tętni życiem. 🚂🚃🚃🚃. (h).
Thank you 😀
Great video, and I haven’t even seen the engine pop out the tunnel yet!! Beauty of an engine, as well….thanks always for your videos, Steve in Minneapolis,Minnesota
Thanks Steve!
Love your layout, amazing how you have created a wonderful part replicating the glory days of steam
Thank you 👍🏻
Seeing your formations is really helpful since if just taken over a exhibition layout very helpful
Glad you found the video useful! 😀
Creative filming and excellent use of sound. I can admit that I would like to see some of your people move from time to time. The man on the coal shovel looks like he may have a sore back, and the man on the switch building may need a bathroom break :) Thanks for your fine efforts. Ronn
Thanks Ronn. That’s a good idea, I should give all the people a shuffle.
@@MouldyRaspberry I think they would enjoy that! :) Ronn
" Nothing for dieters".😊..Kindly regards and THANS again Lewis!!! CHEERS my dear friend "🍻"..."👍👍👍!!!" Crazy Olli 💤💯🪛🔩⚙️
Thanks Olli!!
Great looking coaches and nice photography :)

Thanks Dave, always appreciate it. I like the rebuilt versions as well, I remember reading that a lot of drivers thought them the best of the best in BR days. Yes well spotted!
The close couplings and corridor connections make a huge difference, just needs one of those new smoke effect units to complete the illusion.
Yep that make a really big difference. That’s true!
Nice video there Lewis. The Pacific loco is one on my list to eventually get. Lovely loco.
Thanks mate!
A really enjoyable video ,Lewis .Especially the line side shots ,takes me back to my train spotting days ,in Mill Hill London ,that was mainly diesels but still enjoyable .Thankyou keep up the good work .😊
Thanks Steven, appreciate it!
Beautiful.
Thanks
Even with their sad neutral low-key BR livery, those Merchant Navy units look mightily impressive - all the more on these local sinuous Yorkshire country tracks!❤
Yes you can’t beat the original livery with the bright green with yellow stripes!
Always sensational!! My kids always ask "is that real?"
Thanks Paul!
As always excellent to watch progress
Thank you 👍🏻
The goods train may be the longest I have seen you run, Lewis. Mighty Pacifics, indeed!
Did you suspend yourself from the rafters to get those overhead shots? Hope there is someone else there to get you down if you get stuck!
Haha I need to instal a zip line above the track so I can fly along horizontally whilst filming 🤣
Hi Lewis, top video as usual. I just love the detail.
Thanks Barry 👍🏻
nice vid on the channel thanks lee
Thanks Lee 👍🏻
Good to see the Britannia out again and on a long train.
One of Hornby’s best models I reckon 👍🏻
@@MouldyRaspberry Yes it really is a good one. Even has a tiny arrow for steam / water direction flow on one of the firebox side pipes.
Hi Lewis poetry in motion smashing thank you.
Thanks Tony!
Lovely video, great work!
Thanks Mark!
Spam- tastic, a pleasure to watch as always 👍 👍
Thanks Martin!
Hi Lewis great video as always
Thanks Mark!
As ever top quality 👌
Thanks!
Excellent, as always 😊
Thanks!
Stunning lay-out, always a pleasure to watch, can i just note that 4.52 when the engine is running around, your shunt disc should be yellow and black, not the white and red, sorry dont mean tobe a critic, cant fault your workmanship, keep the vids coming, 👍👍
Thank you! Ah that’s interesting, I didn’t know that!
Excellent sound effects, the bird song at the beginning and was there a dog barking in the distance?
Thank you 👍🏻
Lewis, still waiting for your modelling school to open so i can sign up and learn your weathering wizardry ... Hint hint 😂 great video as usual, nice to see both layouts in use, that camera pan over the farm track bridge never gets old
Thanks Ande - Glad you liked it!
Nice video, Like !🤩!
Thanks 😀
Beautiful! How do you hold the camera?
Thanks Greg - it’s my iPhone, just lean over and hold it really, nothing high tech!
Is this 00 and what are the couplings? Looks great
Yes, and the couplings are Kaddees 👍🏻
Just wondering Lewis when the green locomotive at the 5 min 42 sec of the video reverses away from the station should the lamp at the front of the locomotive be moved to the rear of the tender. Enjoyable video. Cheers Greg
Thanks Greg - yes you’re right I always forget to move them!
Eeks a spam can in the dales lol & still no buffet car for those hungry & thirsty travellers
Packed lunch only!
Only two Pacific steamies running? Very nice, but what about Mallard? She's an LNER A4 Pacific, so she should have been running as well. Please give Mallard a run next time, I'll bet she's crying for another run on your railway.
I’ll have to do a part 2 with Mallard and my Duchess!
Perhaps you can do some Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends' Days Out events on the Yorkshire Dales Model Railway, my friend.
I’ll try!
