- The New Sandling Junction Build - Episode 2 - That large incline, how did I get on with it?
Well with Julian now safely back in New Zealand, I am left to finish the table build for the new layout at Sandling Junction
So how did I get on with the upper levels, and moreover that very long incline?
Join me as we find out.

Great progress on your boards, Paul. It’s not easy doing this on your own. I’m very impressed that you managed to get a couple on locomotives running around to test it out. Thanks for sharing. Roy.
Thanks Roy, agreed no so easy, but then most things as they say that are worth doing are never so easy, cheers P
Well done Paul, it’s good to watch you doing some train work again, it’s been a while, I am enjoying this grow, as both yourself and Julian have worked hard on this and it’s great to see it come to life. Look forward to your next video 👌🏻
Thank you Paul that is very kind, more more to come, cheers P
Coming along nicely,can't wait for the finished article.👍
A way off yet Mick, but hey stick around, one day eh! cheers P
It must feel awesome to have the bench work going up and being able to run a few trains. Things are looking great! Cheers. 👍😁
Great work Paul, I'm sure Julian will be more than happy and as long as you are thats what matters. Susannah
Hi you, yes he was more than happy when I showed him, now for the fun bits, cheers P hope you are well.
Great progress. Older house walls can be a pain, I think they`d come back from the pub when they plastered mine
Well, they are only 1962 built, by a master bricklayer's own home, which begs the question eh? cheers P
Nicely finished off the boards, i would have done the same and re worked those last few boards. Can’t wait to see the next progress 👍
Thanks Lee, yes Julian would never have let it pass muster, so had to rework them, cheers P
You're doing a great job, stay positive and you'll achieve your aim... 🙂
I definitely will Collin, cheers P
Hi Paul! Looks like you've made a great start to your solo flying career on Sandling Junction Mk2! Keep up the good work! All the best, Ian.
Thanks, Ian, yes looking forward to getting track laid now, cheers P
You are making great progress Paul. I think Julian is a hard taskmaster, but we know how the superb the results look! Looking forward to the next instalment and I hope Julian stays up late one day to get the band back together for more comedy double act 😜
Hi Andy yes we may yet find a way to do that, cheers P
Impressive Paul. See.. you can do it and well. Really didnt expect to see trains running. Looking forward to developments now.
Thanks, John, well my bit is nearly perfect, just don't look to closely cheers P
Excellent progress Paul = I am the same see it , like it then buy it 😛😛
Cheers Kev
Hi Kev, yes addictive, buy trying to call a halt and thin out or not lol cheers P
Hi Paul, congrats with your progress todate. I'm in orr of Juliens ability in designing the track plan and the baseboards. Look forward to the next instalment take care.
Yes, he is a very competent and able guy in that way. He has made the difference between average and outstanding in the new layout, cheers P
a great foundation to build on
Thank you so much , onward and upward, I HOPE, CHEERS P
To avoid any track alignment problem you should use the Railtech track alignment joiners for module joints. It is conceived to ensure perfect alignment and a sturdy modular track joint. There are videos on RUclips about this tool.
Thank you I shall definitely look into them, cheers P
Hot tip, with the Model tech alignment plates, remove the sleepers, and solder the plates - secure the track before cutting the rails. Flexitrack will bite back if you try cutting it first!!! On any curve..
Looking good considering the shape of the room I think you have created a very nice layout with a large amount of features and a good run of track. Looking forward to seeing how you build each section. Great to see your enthusiasm back for this hobby of ours.
yes I agree, much to do, but the project is exciting as well, cheers P
Nicd work . Southeast rules! Hi from NZ
Thats neat cheers P
Well done Paul (and Julian) for getting all the tops in place. Great foundation to build on and good to see locos running under test conditions. Can't wait to see the first cock and track to be laid on New Sandling Junction, thanks for sharing regards Barry...👍
Thanks Barry,yes cork and track in the next video or few lol, cheers P
Julian has helped you no end, your skills have developed so much. Now the hard work is to start, I can't wait to see what a success you will make of it. So brave of you to put everything on video, even those small errors, I am amazed with the progress
Thank you so much, I have always believed in keeping the mess-ups in the video, after all, we are all simply doing our best, lol, cheers P
This is fascinating and very helpful as I’m in the middle of coming up with a design for my new layout. It’s really useful to see in detail how you’re executing this build.
Thanks Phil, much more of the same to follow cheers P
Hi Paul. Good for you, Julian was (and is always) right! The old adage: measure twice, cut once! Is your garage damp-proof?
The layout is in the bedroom, and the garage is also damp protected as best as one can, as it is my painting studio, cheers P
Paul, have a little look at some Feng Shui guidance online or in a book to help that awkward space and yourself. You might like to employ some strategically placed mirrors to improve things. I know this advice is a bit leftfield but it is offered with a good heart. When I first saw that room it was the first thing I thought of. Very Best Wishes, Nige (The layouts looking great btw).
I appreciate the thought Nigel, sadly the walls are difficult and was hard enough with those cabinets up, but will keep it in mind, cheers P
Dear Paul, for your board with the turntable; to permanently fix its risers steady, sturdy and plumb it may be helpful to form some triangular supports or braces, from the lower base board almost to the top of the risers. I humbly think that will do a better job for the strength of this board’s foundation than the extra cut and horizontal bracing you mentioned. Cheerio
Hi Vince yes it is a good idea, I have many upstands in place, but if movement is detected I will look at your suggestion, cheers P
Coming along nicely. I like the shelves but isn't the track supposed to be on the bottom of the shelf, not the top? ;)
If you are short of space you could make the shelves deeper to store the locos two deep since access is simplified by the trays you have your locos stored on.
I was just seeing if you were paying attention, lol I didn't like the track so turned shelves the other way easier and safer for locos on display
