This video includes the following:
- updates on Level 1 track enhancements/new sidings
- updates on Level 2 Locomotive Depot and newly installed check rails on the Stanwell Park Viaduct
- updates on Level 3 consisting of a new short coal line and the newly design plans of the Coach Yard upn on Level 3 branch line
- A quick look at the projects on the workbench
- and looking at where the Control Panels will be installed on the Escarpment
This video catches up on all the build news and so much more!

Clearly a lot of hard thought & work has gone into this.
Thanks Henry, yes indeed..cheers
Looking fantastic Jason.
Thanks Scott
Man, that is a ridiculous amount of work. Nicely done.
Thanks for watching Pendulum! Yeah, interesting external observation..sometimes I wonder what I have done half the time. It usually doesn't hit me until I'm going over what the video updates will include..cheers
I wish I had the room and the money. Magnificent
Thanks for the comments John. Yes, I definitely know how lucky I am..but did have to wait later in life for this opportunity..regards
@@JasonWood_Escarpment my dad and I had layouts like that for O scale but that went kind of the way side when he passed on 3 years go.
@@johncipolla8335 Im sorry to hear that, my condolences
@@JasonWood_Escarpment no worries. I am not totally out of it since I have a set for around my tree at Christmas time. Best I can do
Wow that is an amazing setup.. Very tidy work areas .Jim
Hi Jim, thanks for the feedback. It has been 4 years in the making and the 2 years prior to that it was planning and building the train shed..cheers
@@JasonWood_Escarpment Nice work, it took me 10 years to build my layout, its finished now until the next one maybe...
@@hovermotion any plans for a future one?
Don’t worry about coasting for a bit mate….. sometimes that’s good for you 😉
Yeah..that was a little tongue in cheek..but was a strange month for me in many other ways. But I am going to slow down a little and allow time to smell the track 😁
awesome update love your layout
Thanks Dwight, appreciate your comment..cheers
Great video update Jason, your progress has been remarkable! I will be very interested to see how you get on with your control panels in time.
Thanks Lee, yes they are making their way up on the 'to do' list. I'm looking forward with getting that first one in to set the scene for the others..sometimes I can get really fussy with design and style 🤓..regards
You have been busy Jason. It is all looking good and you can really see what you have in mind for each part of the layout. It is going to be great fun to work with lots of potential for operating locos. Stephen
Hi Stephen, thanks for that. The key there is opening up potential for the future ..cheers
Hi Jason, fantastic! Could you tell me the heights to and between your 3 levels? Many thanks
Hi Scott, the bottom level sits 600mm off thr ground. The middle level sits 1100mm off the ground and the top level sits 1600mm off the ground. If you work in inches that would be 24", 44" and 64"..regards
@@JasonWood_Escarpment thanks Jason. Planning something similar but in a much smaller space
@@UpTheWHL not a problem, best of luck with your build
Wow great layout progress Jason. I really like that 3D printed coal tower really looks the part. - Nicholas.
Thanks Nicholas, loving how that one is coming together..cheers
Wow a lot of work done. Great update Jason - Take care - Kevin
Thanks Kevin, more than I realised! Regards
Phew! For someone that has taken their foot off the accelerator it’s worn me out the amount of work you’ve done Jason, lol! Great update, thoroughly enjoyed it as usual.
Following progress to on your Facebook page but I’m not so into Facebook so it is an occasional look.
Looking forward to more progress in the next few weeks, cheers for now Jason, John
Hi John..it has been a very strange last month for me. Felt like I was a little casual and took time off 🤷♂️. Anyway, onward and upwards as they say. Look forward to your helix adventures..regards
Why don’t you add short dummy rails all around the rim of the turntable to maintain 360 electrical contact ??
Hi Sid, not sure what you mean by placing dummy rails around the rim. This is the full electronic version and the issue is how they have wired it internally..cheers
Hi Jason - I noticed that as long as the turntable girder made contact with the tracks it had power - so, if it was setup so that there were tracks all around it I assume there would be no loss of power - so i was thinking if you could just have rails without ties (similar to the genuine tracks) along the turntable rim you could maintain that 360 contact - just a thought 🙂
Unfortunately that is not how this kit works. It doesn't have a true auto-reverser, so it cuts power (very short break) to switch polarity. But when it does this my DCC loco loses it's sound. I have a solution and will share when I implement it
Got it - so the problem lies even with the existing tracks 😐
@@sid21177 yeah it is internal as the rails don't make contact with those rails on the outside. I do have a solution and will share in a future video
Hey Jason looking great, just my two cents on your control panels, might be hand to not have the coach yard panel directly above the loco terminal panel, as for operations you might have a different person working each one? Hope that makes sense.
Thanks Mully, good point. It might be a tight squeeze in that space for 2 people, but they will be two good size yards..hmm
Yep, more space between operators/control panels the better! Stacking them vertically not recommended.
But I have very high expectation of my future operators..there will be tests with operation multiple control panels 🤣😂🤣..only joking..
Hello Jason. As always, a fascinating update of what you have been up to. I think the whole world is waiting on “ things “ from China. I live in Southern California. Where the big port of Long Beach is located. The dock workers have recently whittled down a backlog of 130 container ships to a mere 30. But……now they are threatening a work stoppage. We’ll see how that works out. Thanks for the update. See ya next time. Take care.
😯 that stinks
Hey Norman, I think you have a good point there, normally I give myself a good leadway to order so I'm not waiting..but I did drop the ball this time round lol..take care..cheers
