Your modelling is first class Garry! It’ll be an exciting challenge for you to build a new layout. Im looking forward to see what you do with this space😊
Many thanks budd, Your too kind... 🍻 It will be a challenge with what I have in hand, but I am looking forward to being locked in the house then stuck in the cold dark shed 😂 Look after yourself and all the best Garry.
Great to see you back Gary! Family always comes first so no apologies needed mate, looking forward to seeing the new layout develop. Take care, cheers Steve
LOL Thanks Davie that made me chuckle.. yeah haha big scare as my oldest daughter had Heart surgery but has only just had it so its been a long hard year of 2022.. Phew... Yeap and now a refocus onto a new challenging build but with great expectation - I HOPE 😂 All the best buddy and look after yourself 👍 🍻 Garry
Hi Garry great to see you back on the channel hope you and your family are okay nice to see you’re getting your mojo back and focused on your new project which sounds great and after watching your new video it’s really nice to see your excitement in your new project for Old Oak Common layout in its new railway room your modelling how to videos are really great as you show other people in our great hobby how to scratch build items as it gives a great feeling to put things on our layouts that have been hand made Take care Garry all the best to you and your family Kevin Beighton Parkway Sheffield
HI Kevin , Apologies for the delayed response and thank you for the warming comment ( this is very endearing )- Life has been a struggle over the recent years and hence this has compromised my abilities in the hobby due mental health and working double jobs to survive alone. The hobby and the people in it have been my savour through this time, Of which I am humble thankful of.. I am now starting to get back bit by bit. The new layout has already thrown challenges, but its the one thing I love solving and proving me even more scratch builds and projects that I will share when I can. Again look after yourself too buddy, wishing all the best as always.. Cheers for now.. Garry.
@@cheekytek so nice to hear from you Garry so nice to hear you are getting there abit at a time as long as you have got friends around you to support you it doesn’t matter how long it takes this is a caring hobby and it’s nice to know that you’re friends are there for you .Take care mate it’s so nice to hear from you good 👍🏻 luck with your new project Best wishes Kev Beighton Parkway Sheffield
Hi Gary, sounds exciting................I liked your conversion of the Farish Mk1's..................Look forward to seeing the new "warm" room develop...............All the best Dave.
Good to see you back here. It's horses for courses, but personally I agree with you about watching trains go by. Your idea of taking trains "off-stage" and down into a sidings lower down before they reappear is a great one: I've done that in the past: years ago (in the DC days) we had a set of sidings under one part of the layout, and they were connected up with a diode matrix that I found described in an ancient Railway Modeller. Can't say I understood it, but it allowed one train to come into the sidings and another to depart, with the result that it could be 5 or 10 minutes before a train you saw go past reappeared.
Nice to you are back garry most of us have all missed you. I m looking forward to seeing the big change. Take care, my friend kind regards Gary @Leicester Station and T.M.D
Thanks Gary.. sorry its been a while think I lost all faith in life at one point I've been finding it hard to be back in the light.. CERTAINLY some big changes are on the way very soon, so will get back and get an update up asap.. Take care too. THANKS.. Garry
Great to see you back Garry. Always the right decision, to step away and look after the family mate. Shame the shed isn't working out, but the new layout sounds brilliant and your going to be so much more comfortable in the house. Hopefully see you at a show soon. Alex
Thanks Alex, Think The damp would eventually make me I’ll and Neighbors don’t help- but yeah nice to be indoors tinkering again on the new room. Kids are back on track so this has taken pressure of me so all is good 😊 Cheers as always and again look after yourself buddy Garry
Hi Gary, Nice to see you're looking well and back with new enthusiasm. Personal life always comes first, goes without saying. No pressure from me, just good to see you're doing OK mate. All the best Graham 👍
Welcome back Garry, missed you but didn't worry about you. So glad to hear that you got your priorities right and looked after the family needs first. I aways thought your layout was in the attic. The dampness of the UK is one thing I do not miss. The new plans/vision sounds great and you have a goal to work towards but of course we all have to make compromises so it will be with great interest that I shall watch it all unfold. Kind regards, David.
Hello David, Many thanks for you message and very appreciated indeed.. Yeap I am all okays and looking after myself thanks and whilst keeping an eye on my little ones, which is the hardest being so far from me.. Looking forward to getting stuck in as I currently am doing on the new build. I think I have now got used to dealing with compromises so this will be a blast Lol.. Take care and wishing you all the very best. Garry
Many thanks Chris. Very appreciated and apologies for dropping out - just had to be,- but I am on a new mission picking up where I left off ( including the N gauge ) take care and look after yourself 👍 All the best Garry
Hi Garry - great to see you back on RUclips and I hope you and yours will be doing good in the future. Really like the concept of your new layout and can't wait to see you build it. Have fun and happy modelling! Enjoy ;-)
I genuinely cannot tell you how happy i was when i saw a new video from you pop up Garry! I shall be following with interest and am looking forward to seeing how 'New Oak Common' develops! 🤣
Hi Mike thanks for watching and keeping with my journey I did love the old layout but it was just dioramas not practical, but definitely on the go with the new one - LOL New Oak Common 😂😂😂 love that lol
Nice one Garry, really great to see you back, looking forward to seeing your updates on the new layout and your comfy new train room, family and well being 1st mate, all the best Darrell
Thanks Darrell, thats very appreciated.. Yeap that's the order and it just had to be.. things are a lot better with the kids, so can't complain. And this gives me a new focus at home in the warm doing what I love... The shed was really there during when I had the family at home to give extra space, but its silly heating two ares and one being empty at these current times.. I'm excited and living the now in life so all is good.. thanks.. Anyways back to the build.. lol All the best Garry 👍
Sounds exciting Gary, lots of creative juices being summoned. Years ago I had a layout in England in the loft, it was either freezing cold or boiling hot and damp as well. Your Dioramas are exceptional so the new layout will be superb no doubt. All the best
Hi Garry. Great to see you back and looking as young & handsome as ever 😄. Hope all your recent trials and tribulations are behind you now leaving you with a clear enough head to continue with your new project. It's most frustrating and annoying when dampness creeps in to a shed layout. Fortunately, you have a spare room, whereas a lot of enthusiasts are restricted in that respect. All you have to be mindful of now is that you leave enough space in between rail joins to avoid buckling in the upcoming hot weather as heat often becomes trapped in spare rooms due to their infrequent use. As for your old layout, what a shame it is to see Baker Street ripped out of its location. I really hope you find a good place for it on your new project as for me, it was my favourite construction, especially that novel idea of creating electrical flashes on the track using LEDs. I do hope it is used again on the new layout. Finally, great job you've done on the 'Dreadnoughts'. When you first mentioned the name, I immediately thought you were referring to the Dreadnought carriages that were constructed on the old GWR and were used on the Paddington to Penzance line as part of the Cornish Riviera express. Looking forward to your next upload so do take care Garry, Paul. 👍
Hello Paul. Many thanks for your kind message, I all okays and have been looking after myself well for a while sadly its my younger generation thats struggling where I needed to put them first.. 2022 was very kind to me but it had some last minute spins.. As for the new space I dont think the door will be closed as im always in there - luckily my house is 75% cooler in hot summers than the shed so everything will be great on either side of weathers.. I intend to use the flash effects more so and may incorporate BAKER STREET its a plan to replicate the hole layout but with a new dimension. Nothing will go to waste or just disappear as they are great modelling memories from that layout.. I guess time will tell the new story.. I finally finished them underground dreadnoughts and yes when searching details I found the GWR ones too / a wee bit different to say the least. Well im cracking on with the build so I will catch you soon my friend. Take care and look after yourself / Wise words coming from me I know lol.. All the best Garry.
Hi Garry, I had missed this video and was puzzled by the one posted yesterday until you explained what happened. So I watched this video first. I wish you a successful and joyful restart in the new model railway room! It has always been a pleasure to see what you have built and designed, and little will change about that. 🙂👍 Greetings from Düsseldorf/ Germany, Dirk
Great to see you back, your videos gave me alot of inspiration. I've used your London Backscene painting method on my Stewarts Lane & Kings Cross modules.
Mark, Its you that has inspired me lol.. But thats the great thing from this hobby. Think I may be doing a bit more of that too on this one.. I do love all your modelling though so so detailed.. just Love it.....Really I do.. Cheers anyways. Garry
Hi Garry - glad you're doing ok. It's good to see you back but family and you always come first! Looking forward to seeing the new build. Take care mate.
Thanks Darryl 👍 Very appreciated buddy. All is good and its all about getting this new beast on track lol.. Keep safe and look after yourself too.. Garry
Hi Gary. i was beginning to wonder when you would be back on You Tube, and here you are. New beginnings my friend. which is great to see. i might see you at the Ali Pali. if you are going. catch up soon. Tony
Hi Tony. JUST thinking about you as I open a beer ( just the one mind 😂 ) Thanks buddy yeah I have made the jump into the better environment, seeing that I have half an empty house 😂 then why am I shivering in the little shed.. Yes its taken me that long to realise this.. 🙈 Loving your builds as always Tony and you are the biggest inspiration in this hobby for me and many others, this only makes me realise that I love this hobby and its pushed me to new areas of modelling. I am truly thankful for who you are.. Really I am.. Missing the giggles and beer times but I know I will see you soon. 😁 PS.. I did not Go to ally pally as trains were on strike and did not fancy the drive over there. Again thanks Tony 👍 All the best and catch up with you very soon Garry
Welcome back Garry! Totally understand the move into a spare room. Warm, dry, comfortable and close to the kettle. Looking forward to seeing your progress and hope your family are safe and healthy. Steve
Thanks Steve 👍 certainly enjoying the new build in the new space.. Family are okay just keeping an eye on my older daughter as needs heart surgery - been waiting just under a year, hence the disappearance last year from me.. Keep safe and well and all the best Garry
Glad to see your well You have a positive energy again and great glow👍🏻😁 Family first always Great to see your building in the house save on energy costs etc plus less distance for tea and cakes 😉😊 slow and steady wins the race as they say and as I said a long time ago if you need a listening ear look me up 😊👍🏻 take care 😊😁
OMG JASON YOUR BACK TOO...... Many thanks for your comment. It was your layout and Channel that inspired me to dive back into model railways a good 8yrs ago. You know you are a big inspiration to many modellers.. So great to hear from you and thanks for subscribing. Think I was subscribed but under a different user to your channel back then but anyway I will jump over and Re-Sub ASAP 👍 Look after yourself buddy All the best Garry
Thanks Barry 👍 Apologies for being absent, Just one of those things we face sadly and it had to be, BUT here I am giving it all I can.. Thanks as always Garry
Thanks you.. Err yes and No. its been 7yrs battle of depression sadly from where my wife took my family and left so things have been empty at home which compromised myself to move forward or to be me... Im doing me and learning to have fun as hard as that is and yeah I am now through the other side. So all is good thanks.. The new layout will help me unlock me.. CHEERS..
Thanks Eric 👍 Wasn't sure about the dreadnoughts at first but not bad for a first attempt. Have got 3 Harrow models dreadnoughts but scared to make them 😂
Great to see you back Garry, we've missed you! Looking forward to watch the new layout build. Love your idea to include Old Oak Common. Pleased that you will be transferring some of your great scenes from the current layout to the new one!
Hi Garry, now I see what you mean about us being in the same position and having to start over. Looking forward to watching this layout come to life. Stay safe
Great to see you again garry.. glad all your issues are in a positive place... So looking forward to watching the rebuild in the spare room.. so much more comfortable there than the shed... All the best for the future and if you need a m8 there are plenty of us on here to call upon take care buddy 👍
Hi Tony I really appreciate this a lot thanks, and yes we are lucky to have many around us in this hobby and this goes for everyone who needs support. 😉 🍻 As for the new space, well this is already very accommodating and bringing much joy playing trains already. AND WARM lol So the new build is on as we speak 🤪 and hopefully with a new dimension to the old layout. Take care of yourself too buddy.. As you have said like wise there are many here to chat.. All the very best as always Garry.
Hi Garry, great see you back and very pleased to hear that your life is now more settled. Looking forward to seeing you create your new layout. Best regards Greg
Awww Greg, My buddy from the land of sunshine. It's just been one of those things that I had to balance but feeling a lot more "LocoMojo Good" now 😁 Hopefully I will do some justice on the newer build. At least its a more relaxing environment in the spare room now for me to get to grips with.. Take Care and I mean that. All the very Best Garry... 🍺
Welcome back Garry, Sympathise with you 100% mate, been in the same boat myself 2022 is a year I definitely want to forget but like yourself finding a way and through building a model railway will help. For the record I don't do social media, FB a deffo no no but You Tube yes as it's an interesting place to be... besides gotta blame something to reignite my interest in model railways :)
I'm Absolutely with you there. 👍 Hate Hate - Facebook with passion as soon as you like something your phone rings / nightmare or maybe I am looking at the wrong pages LOL My younger generation needed my focus of recent as its been hard on them all with the family break up and my older daughter had heart surgery recently so social media had to DO one in my opinion LOL.. YEAH love RUclips but I was struggling with the idiot that lives aside to me by creating outrageous noise and other things that mentally got me down..and has before, hence the loosing the shed now.. I have now discovered help with my modelling via SPEC SAVERS. I can see better and it helps with the videoing too LOL I now love being in the house making models and tinkering with trains etc.. The break and the relocating has certainly been a great process for me to travel further in to the future.. Thanks again and look after yourself. All the best Garry
Great video Garry and good to see you back! Hope your are ok and keeping well. Hope to catch up with you and Tony North Eastern at the Great Electric Train Show and hopefully have a couple of pints as well! Many thanks Steve.
STEVE only a couple 🍻 - 😂 Well I think thats all Tony and I had 😆 Most definitely and looking forward to GETS as always so hope to catch you there too buddy 👍 Thanks for the comment as it's very appreciated. Cheers Garry..
Hi Gary, nice to see your back and well. Sometimes you have to take a step back and look after number one, good luck with moving everything from the shed. Looking forward to seeing the new layout come together.
Thanks Paul 👍 Well its a hobby at the end of the day, so I am sure I will still have just as much fun double handling this layout again LOL.. I loved the shed but sadly the neighbours have not helped in that environment as well as damp from not being used for a while.. But Looking forward to getting this new one into action.. Thanks as always and all the best Garry.
Nice to see you back Gary, your modelling skills are great, and the shed layout was superb but as you say dampness is the elephant in the room. So looking forward to the new build in drier climes ,the old layout was very atmospheric, onwards and upwards
Absolutely and thats so true.. With the cost of heating two areas going forward when I have half an empty house is just bizzar realistically - so its a no brainer at this point - The old layout is small enough to relocate some of those scenes so it going to be an exciting journey. I think 😂 All the best Garry
Welcome back, Garry! Job one is take care of family and yourself, so no apologies needed for getting things right and away from the distractions. Like many, it is sad to see such great work go, but greater work is to come. Plus, you are happier with it, so it is a win all around. (I have dealt with mental health all my life and work with folks struggling). Just focus on you and family and post as desired. With all your talents, it shall be very cool to see how you bridge your two worlds of model train (diorama style vs. end chaser). Best wishes to you and yours. Take care!
Thank You Anthony for your inspirational words, that means a lot. It's been a hard long journey but I have been focusing on positivity to breathe, and it's been working for a couple years despite family throws. But thats life as we know it.. And Im doing great.. Look after yourself too as your one of life's great mentor's as well as an amazing modeller that I aspire to.. 👍 All the best as always Garry 🍻
Great to see you back on here Garry. Wow, things are certainly changing! You must be very excited about the new build, sounds great, and certainly much better being indoors. Of course it will be sad to see the old layout go, it really was a master piece, the area and era it represented brought back so many memories for me, such a wonderful bit of modelling. I cannot even imagine what the new one will turn out like, I am just really looking forward to see how it comes along. Good luck with it, and enjoy your modelling in a much nicer environment.
Steve Many Thanks buddy.. 👍 Exactly as you have said, Yeap I love the old layout and its just one of those sacrifices - my neighbour is part if the hassle and has caused many issues that I wont share lol, hence the damp.. Looking forward to now... This will be great for me as already I have found a happy zest in rebuilding with a lot of what I have learned from the old build so feeling positive on this one... Thanks as always Garry 🍻
Hi Garry, Great to see you back! I don't blame you moving inside! It's a much nicer environment to work on and play with a model railway. At least you can harvest loads of parts on the new layout so that will save you alot of money in the long run. Cheers, Michael
Thanks Michael. Absolutely warm and many parts to transfer over and this is why I have bit the bullet to make this decision now rather than a few years up the road when its all too - too late.. Cheers as always and LOOK AFTER yourself too 😉 Garry
Exciting to be building a new/updated layout indoor! My layout is in our garage so can really understand why there are many periods of time when you just don’t want to be out there. A move planned and an internal room or integral insulated garage are musts! Will watch your progress with great interest as my turn soon…
Being inside certainly been a great move out the garden, sadly my neighbour has been the demise of the old layout and I got fed up of the torment in the garden so loving being in the house at the mo.. thanks again and wish you well on your upcoming build.. Cheers Garry 👍
Welcome back Gary Mate. Family always comes first, Always! Strange I have also not been as regular uploading videos as my younger daughter out of the blue had a baby at 19. Huge shock and terrified us at first but would not swap him for the world. He has just turned 1 and Daughter and boyfriend have just got a lovely place together. She has really grown up with this and things are actually working out really well. As for the layout I think because this Winter has been colder. More condensation and moisture. Had the same problem. Richard
Hi Richard, you have had a busy year too, yeah our kids somehow have this knack to terrify us, but we always put them first.. thats what dads doo.. Glad things are leveing out with your family and I wish them all the best on their little journeys..💕 My oldest daughter needed heart surgery just recently we have been waiting most of 2022 to get life on track for her as its been so hard on her and the gran kids to deal with.. Its been many sleepless nights but we are almost there with one more operation if needed soon - my fingers are firmly crossed... With not being in the shed last year and with the constant noise pollution in the garden from Idiots shouting its been a horrible environment to do any kind of modelling of late. And yes its has been colder than previous times over winter so I am not surprised that I have damp out there. I am more me of lately and doing what us humans are supposed to do - Enjoy life as much as I can 🤪 Take care of yourself Richard and many thanks for your message, it means a lot.. 👍 ALL THE BEST Garry
Bless you mate. Really hope your daughter makes a speedy recovery. Say hello if you are at the Ally Palley Model Railway show on Sunday by any chance. All the best Richard
You and me both! 😂🙈 LOL. I have a plan and now know where I am going and what I must to build so its going to be a great adventure.. 👍 ALL THE BEST Garry
Well its only scenery end of the day, so it will be good revisiting old works on a fresh layout with new ideas.. Thanks as always.. All the Best Garry 🍻
Thanks a ton! I wasn't sure at first as sadly not many pictures of train insides were taken back late 70's, only because no one knew us train guys may need them in our future lol Thanks that means a deal with hope they look sort of correct 👍 All the best Garry 😉
Hi Gary great to see you again, and that you got your mo Jo back looking forward to seeing you in future videos as you modelling is excellent I have put a couple of my first videos on RUclips please take a look "Smallwood Junction " hope to see on the circuit sometime all the best Paris & Paul
Oh brilliant I will most definitely check them out, and about time 😉 lol Great stuff.... I will grab a beer and watch this evening 👍👍 Thanks as always for all you doo and catching up etc.., really appreciate you both ☺️ All the very best as always Garry 🍻🥂

Hi Gary, sounds exciting................I liked your conversion of the Farish Mk1's..................Look forward to seeing the new "warm" room develop...............All the best Dave.
Thanks Dave
Certainly warmer and relaxing 😂 👍
Cheers
Garry
Sounds like a good plan and your diorama skills will bring the space to life. Good luck mate.
Good to see you back here. It's horses for courses, but personally I agree with you about watching trains go by. Your idea of taking trains "off-stage" and down into a sidings lower down before they reappear is a great one: I've done that in the past: years ago (in the DC days) we had a set of sidings under one part of the layout, and they were connected up with a diode matrix that I found described in an ancient Railway Modeller. Can't say I understood it, but it allowed one train to come into the sidings and another to depart, with the result that it could be 5 or 10 minutes before a train you saw go past reappeared.
Thanks. Very interesting as you have mentioned and what I am trying to get the feel of. But I do like your comment. that actually sounded very cool. 👍
Glad you're back! Can't wait to see the new layout develop.

Hi Garry.

I really hope you find a good place for it on your new project as for me, it was my favourite construction, especially that novel idea of creating electrical flashes on the track using LEDs. I do hope it is used again on the new layout.
Finally, great job you've done on the 'Dreadnoughts'. When you first mentioned the name, I immediately thought you were referring to the Dreadnought carriages that were constructed on the old GWR and were used on the Paddington to Penzance line as part of the Cornish Riviera express.
Looking forward to your next upload so do take care Garry,
Paul. 👍
Hello Paul.
Many thanks for your kind message, I all okays and have been looking after myself well for a while sadly its my younger generation thats struggling where I needed to put them first.. 2022 was very kind to me but it had some last minute spins..
As for the new space I dont think the door will be closed as im always in there - luckily my house is 75% cooler in hot summers than the shed so everything will be great on either side of weathers..
I intend to use the flash effects more so and may incorporate BAKER STREET its a plan to replicate the hole layout but with a new dimension. Nothing will go to waste or just disappear as they are great modelling memories from that layout..
I guess time will tell the new story..
I finally finished them underground dreadnoughts and yes when searching details I found the GWR ones too / a wee bit different to say the least.
Well im cracking on with the build so I will catch you soon my friend. Take care and look after yourself / Wise words coming from me I know lol..
All the best Garry.
Hi Garry, I had missed this video and was puzzled by the one posted yesterday until you explained what happened. So I watched this video first. I wish you a successful and joyful restart in the new model railway room! It has always been a pleasure to see what you have built and designed, and little will change about that. 🙂👍 Greetings from Düsseldorf/ Germany, Dirk
Thanks buddy - more will follow shortly 👍
Great to see u back. I look forward to seeing the new layout. . 🙂
Thank you very much!
Cheers 👍
It's good to see you back. Good luck with moving items from the old layout to the new one. Really curious to see what you end up building.
Thanks - you and me both.. lol No all is going to plan.. So far..
Great to see you back, your videos gave me alot of inspiration.
I've used your London Backscene painting method on my Stewarts Lane & Kings Cross modules.
Mark, Its you that has inspired me lol..
But thats the great thing from this hobby.
Think I may be doing a bit more of that too on this one..
I do love all your modelling though so so detailed..
just Love it.....Really I do..
Cheers anyways.

Many thanks for your comment.
It was your layout and Channel that inspired me to dive back into model railways a good 8yrs ago.
You know you are a big inspiration to many modellers..
So great to hear from you and thanks for subscribing. Think I was subscribed but under a different user to your channel back then but anyway I will jump over and Re-Sub ASAP 👍
Look after yourself buddy
All the best Garry

Garry
Sounds like you have been through a tough year. Glad you seem to be coming through the other side.
Thanks you.. Err yes and No. its been 7yrs battle of depression sadly from where my wife took my family and left so things have been empty at home which compromised myself to move forward or to be me...
Im doing me and learning to have fun as hard as that is and yeah I am now through the other side. So all is good thanks..
The new layout will help me unlock me..
CHEERS..
The dreadnought coaches came out well. Nice job.
Good luck on the new setup!
Thanks Eric 👍
Wasn't sure about the dreadnoughts at first but not bad for a first attempt.
Have got 3 Harrow models dreadnoughts but scared to make them 😂
@@cheekytek the harrow ones are ok but they are super heavy and the white metal always ends up bending/going out of shape over time its awful stuff
Hi Garry GREAT TO SEE YOU ARE OK I HAVE ALSO HAD TIME OUT BUT NOW I AM BACK AT IT AGAIN KEEP SAFE AND WELL MARTIN
Thanks Martin look after yourself too..
Nice to see you back Garry
Great to see you back Garry, we've missed you! Looking forward to watch the new layout build. Love your idea to include Old Oak Common. Pleased that you will be transferring some of your great scenes from the current layout to the new one!
Thanks Karl 👍
yeah hopefully a little more than before if I can pull it off.. 😁
Cheers as always 🍻
Garry
Great to see you back Gary! I am sure that the new layout would be Great as the old one and I'm too excited to watch your progress in the build! 😀👍

Cheers buddy
Garry

Hi Tony
I really appreciate this a lot thanks, and yes we are lucky to have many around us in this hobby and this goes for everyone who needs support. 😉 🍻
As for the new space, well this is already very accommodating and bringing much joy playing trains already. AND WARM lol
So the new build is on as we speak 🤪 and hopefully with a new dimension to the old layout.
Take care of yourself too buddy..
As you have said like wise there are many here to chat..
All the very best as always
Garry.
Hi Garry, great see you back and very pleased to hear that your life is now more settled. Looking forward to seeing you create your new layout. Best regards Greg
Awww Greg, My buddy from the land of sunshine.
It's just been one of those things that I had to balance but feeling a lot more "LocoMojo Good" now 😁
Hopefully I will do some justice on the newer build.
At least its a more relaxing environment in the spare room now for me to get to grips with..
Take Care and I mean that.
All the very Best
Garry... 🍺
Hi Garry, great to see you back, looking forward to watching the new layout grow. All the best David
Thanks David 👍
😉
All the best Garry
Welcome back Garry, Sympathise with you 100% mate, been in the same boat myself 2022 is a year I definitely want to forget but like yourself finding a way and through building a model railway will help. For the record I don't do social media, FB a deffo no no but You Tube yes as it's an interesting place to be... besides gotta blame something to reignite my interest in model railways :)
I'm Absolutely with you there. 👍
Hate Hate - Facebook with passion as soon as you like something your phone rings / nightmare or maybe I am looking at the wrong pages LOL
My younger generation needed my focus of recent as its been hard on them all with the family break up and my older daughter had heart surgery recently so social media had to DO one in my opinion LOL..
YEAH love RUclips but I was struggling with the idiot that lives aside to me by creating outrageous noise and other things that mentally got me down..and has before, hence the loosing the shed now..
I have now discovered help with my modelling via SPEC SAVERS.
I can see better and it helps with the videoing too LOL
I now love being in the house making models and tinkering with trains etc..
The break and the relocating has certainly been a great process for me to travel further in to the future..
Thanks again and look after yourself.
All the best
Garry
Best of luck with all your new ideas! 😊
Thanks Buddy ☺️
Been a long journey but chuffed to be on track now 🤪
Cheers 🍻
Great video Garry and good to see you back! Hope your are ok and keeping well. Hope to catch up with you and Tony North Eastern at the Great Electric Train Show and hopefully have a couple of pints as well! Many thanks Steve.
STEVE only a couple 🍻 - 😂
Well I think thats all Tony and I had 😆
Most definitely and looking forward to GETS as always so hope to catch you there too buddy 👍
Thanks for the comment as it's very appreciated.
Cheers Garry..
Good luck with your new build pal 👍
Thanks buddy 👍
Hi Gary, nice to see your back and well. Sometimes you have to take a step back and look after number one, good luck with moving everything from the shed. Looking forward to seeing the new layout come together.
Thanks Paul 👍
Well its a hobby at the end of the day, so I am sure I will still have just as much fun double handling this layout again LOL..
I loved the shed but sadly the neighbours have not helped in that environment as well as damp from not being used for a while..
But Looking forward to getting this new one into action..
Thanks as always and all the best Garry.
Great to see you back Gary !!! looking forward to the next stage of the journey .
Thank you Merv
Certainly will be a different journey but in relaxing environment 👍
Cheers.. 🍻
Nice to see you back Gary, your modelling skills are great, and the shed layout was superb but as you say dampness is the elephant in the room. So looking forward to the new build in drier climes ,the old layout was very atmospheric, onwards and upwards
Absolutely and thats so true..
With the cost of heating two areas going forward when I have half an empty house is just bizzar realistically - so its a no brainer at this point - The old layout is small enough to relocate some of those scenes so it going to be an exciting journey.
I think 😂
All the best Garry
Welcome back, Garry! Job one is take care of family and yourself, so no apologies needed for getting things right and away from the distractions. Like many, it is sad to see such great work go, but greater work is to come. Plus, you are happier with it, so it is a win all around. (I have dealt with mental health all my life and work with folks struggling). Just focus on you and family and post as desired. With all your talents, it shall be very cool to see how you bridge your two worlds of model train (diorama style vs. end chaser). Best wishes to you and yours. Take care!
Thank You Anthony for your inspirational words, that means a lot.
It's been a hard long journey but I have been focusing on positivity to breathe, and it's been working for a couple years despite family throws. But thats life as we know it.. And Im doing great..
Look after yourself too as your one of life's great mentor's as well as an amazing modeller that I aspire to.. 👍
All the best as always
Garry 🍻
Great to see you back Gary, looking forward to following you’re build.
Thanks 👍
Think we all are 😂 lol
THANKS and its great being me again doing what I love..
Cheers Garry.
Great to see you back on here Garry. Wow, things are certainly changing! You must be very excited about the new build, sounds great, and certainly much better being indoors. Of course it will be sad to see the old layout go, it really was a master piece, the area and era it represented brought back so many memories for me, such a wonderful bit of modelling. I cannot even imagine what the new one will turn out like, I am just really looking forward to see how it comes along. Good luck with it, and enjoy your modelling in a much nicer environment.
Steve Many Thanks buddy.. 👍
Exactly as you have said, Yeap I love the old layout and its just one of those sacrifices - my neighbour is part if the hassle and has caused many issues that I wont share lol, hence the damp..
Looking forward to now...
This will be great for me as already I have found a happy zest in rebuilding with a lot of what I have learned from the old build so feeling positive on this one...
Thanks as always
Garry 🍻
Hi Garry, Great to see you back! I don't blame you moving inside! It's a much nicer environment to work on and play with a model railway. At least you can harvest loads of parts on the new layout so that will save you alot of money in the long run. Cheers, Michael
Thanks Michael.
Absolutely warm and many parts to transfer over and this is why I have bit the bullet to make this decision now rather than a few years up the road when its all too - too late..
Cheers as always and LOOK AFTER yourself too 😉
Garry
Exciting to be building a new/updated layout indoor! My layout is in our garage so can really understand why there are many periods of time when you just don’t want to be out there. A move planned and an internal room or integral insulated garage are musts! Will watch your progress with great interest as my turn soon…
Being inside certainly been a great move out the garden, sadly my neighbour has been the demise of the old layout and I got fed up of the torment in the garden so loving being in the house at the mo.. thanks again and wish you well on your upcoming build.. Cheers Garry 👍
Great to see you buddy 😊 mate I’m excited for you
Thanks Fred.
You and me both!
LOL
Good to see ya back. New modelling room looks great, can't wait to see what you do
Nor can I 😂 lol
Cheers as always buddy as I really appreciate your support.
All the best Garry
Welcome back Gary Mate. Family always comes first, Always! Strange I have also not been as regular uploading videos as my younger daughter out of the blue had a baby at 19. Huge shock and terrified us at first but would not swap him for the world. He has just turned 1 and Daughter and boyfriend have just got a lovely place together. She has really grown up with this and things are actually working out really well. As for the layout I think because this Winter has been colder. More condensation and moisture. Had the same problem.
Richard
Hi Richard,
you have had a busy year too, yeah our kids somehow have this knack to terrify us, but we always put them first.. thats what dads doo..
Glad things are leveing out with your family and I wish them all the best on their little journeys..💕
My oldest daughter needed heart surgery just recently we have been waiting most of 2022 to get life on track for her as its been so hard on her and the gran kids to deal with.. Its been many sleepless nights but we are almost there with one more operation if needed soon - my fingers are firmly crossed...
With not being in the shed last year and with the constant noise pollution in the garden from Idiots shouting its been a horrible environment to do any kind of modelling of late. And yes its has been colder than previous times over winter so I am not surprised that I have damp out there.
I am more me of lately and doing what us humans are supposed to do - Enjoy life as much as I can 🤪
Take care of yourself Richard and many thanks for your message, it means a lot.. 👍
ALL THE BEST
Garry
Bless you mate. Really hope your daughter makes a speedy recovery. Say hello if you are at the Ally Palley Model Railway show on Sunday by any chance.
All the best Richard
Great to see you back again! Really looking forward to seeing this layout build from the beginning.
You and me both! 😂🙈
LOL. I have a plan and now know where I am going and what I must to build so its going to be a great adventure.. 👍
ALL THE BEST
Garry
Don’t envy your task of moving it all, but all the best mate and looking forward to the layouts new home 👍🙂
Well its only scenery end of the day, so it will be good revisiting old works on a fresh layout with new ideas..
Thanks as always..
All the Best Garry 🍻
Nice to see you back
Many Thanks Andrew..
Cheers Garry..

Garry 🍻
I love your MK3 interiors mate. They look absolutely gorgeous. Great work. 👍
Thanks a ton!
I wasn't sure at first as sadly not many pictures of train insides were taken back late 70's, only because no one knew us train guys may need them in our future lol
Thanks that means a deal with hope they look sort of correct 👍
All the best Garry 😉
Nice interesting video. Please post more. Thankyou
