Great stuff! I'm an Ex-Melburnian living in the US and have a massive collection of 1980s V/Line HO Scale equipment here. Dad works on the Puffing Billy. Will have to try and visit this place when back home again.
Thank you Phil! Oh awesome, Ive been getting more and more folks who live in the US who have Aussie models and it's very interesting to me to hear about it from an overseas perspective on what's available and how many people model it.
Very good! Thank you for the message and watching the video!
i remember riding on the puffing billy when i was just a little kid, maybe 2007 - 2009
It's stunning the amount of high quality Australian models that is available now. I remember the old 1983 Lima catalogue where a few very crude models of some locomotives and wagons, some not even based on real Australian prototypes but rather on European ones.
But now it's very comparable with what we have on offer here in Europe, I have a Belgian themed layout and almost all of the diesel and electric classes have been covered in HO.
As someone who just finished working on the Great Southern, your locos are cleaner than ours!!! Kind of sacrilege having two IP locos pulling a goodsie!!! You coaches are so realistic, there was one or two moments when I could almost imagine watching the real train(s) go past the viewpoint... :-) This is brilliant. You need more footage of this layout, and those amazing GSR trains!
What a great layout.. I have SCT Laverton just over the rail line from my house and can hear them shunting and making up trains in the evenings before they set off.
Yeah we’re very lucky to have it! Ah nice! A greatxspit
Hello from Boston, Massachusetts, USA! Excellent video, equipment, and layout! Thanks for sharing to those of us who unfortunately cannot stop be in person.
Thank you very much Carl! I hope to keep making more like this! Thank you so much for the message!
Love it! Only thing missing though is my fav (CountryLink XPT
Ah a classic! I'd love to have one in my collection! Lets hope Ausicision Re Run it!
Love the pacific national container train at 15:40min mark!
I've been to the Amra club rooms at Glen Iris a few times and it was amazing however I wish I could visit when they are running Australian or even Victorian trains
Nice, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully once restrictions come down... again. We can have visitors back to the club!
One of the best Aussie layouts if seen!😃
Wow Thank you
Thanks!
Very enjoyable production, mate.
Sensible scale speeds from operators complement your creative video graphic skills.
Great effort.
Thank you very much Stewart!
Fantastic work Will, never fail to amaze with the new creative shots around the layout, could not stop rewatching the vid. The Armstrong Grade shot was a favourite 👍👍
Thank you very much Malcolm! Really appreciate that!
Nice running session. CHEERS FROM OVER SEAS UNITED STATES
Happy Railroading
Thanks mate!
@@WillJamesRailways Your welcome Mate
Fantastic layout and models 😊
Thank you!
Great video and showcase. 👍
Thank you very much! Lots more to come!
I wish the people could gather and talk else where ... if i was there and seen someone recording some scale video id elbow me crew and quietly say ... "his videong, lets go chat outside" Still was an awesome video ... thank you very much for sharing! :)
Thanks for watching!
Great session
Absolutely! More to come!
Thanks Will James
I see an R class in the background, hoping you’ll do a review one day ;) great video, I’ve gotta go down to the AMRA one day!
There sure is! I was actually planning on doing a long term review on it! So keep an eye out for that one!
Absolutely, hopefully the open day gets to go ahead this year!
it is quite a nice layout, i am a member there so i use it a fair bit.
You model railway people get every detail on trains as accurate as possible by the looks of it so well done to you all, But I notice some of the smaller things don’t represent a normal everyday theme you would expect such as the “Split window” Volkswagen Beetle illegally parked at the flashing lights, now keep in mind these split window Vee Dubs were manufactured between 1939 and ended in 1952 which would make them anywhere between 83 to 70 years old at least, let alone the rarity factor surely youse can update your motor vehicle fleets lol!
Hey James! Thanks for watching the video!
This is at a model railway club in Melbourne, that isn’t era specific and the layout has a mix of Australian, American and European buildings on it.
Like the video very much.Take care
Thank you very much! I’ll certainly have more like it coming soon!
I dig the locos with rails along their sides. also chains. get me a set 1 day.
Some great stuff out there now days!
cool thanks mate
Thanks for watching!
Nice layout, I live in Melbourne but still modelling the Yorkshire railway. I will build Flinders street station eventually, especially as I work in the building
Nice! That’s a huge undertaking! I’m HO or something a bit smaller like N?
@@WillJamesRailways i started adding videos to my youtube channel for my model railroad hobby. subscribe if you want, the flinders building i sat eating dinner at midnight last week and its very simple to CAD draw for a 3d printer, the building is rectangle, the small domes are connected by rectangles (stair wells). Next time i get a week free i will start drawing it.
@@WillJamesRailways OO / HO is my model layout.
I'd love to see the Flinders Street project once its finished but you know what, I'd love to see it incorporating the old Princes Bridge station......platforms 12, 13 & 14. I used to love jumping on a Hurstbridge or Eltham train from there back in the mid 80s.
@@jackbeltaneNothing beats it for detail. N scale is too difficult to work with.
Not bad, pity about the loud voices in background.
Something I’ll certainly pay more attention to next time! Thanks for watching and leaving the comment,
Nice video Will which trains were yours that were running on the layout. i also revieved my first Australian loco too i have done a review on it as well. - Nicholas.
Thank you! The VR/Vline grain is mine and the 80’ on the intermodal jet that I think appears in this.
Nice I’ll check it out!
Will are these run as a DCC coupled - as in all powered/controlled locos in one DCC "Set" or are they run as one powered with additional dummies? thanks
Most of these MU's are all powered, and yeah you just consist them in the remote, assuming they're all speed matched!
Cool layout, but why do the trains seem to stutter along the tracks ?
Not sure, they run pretty smoothly normally! Might be something to do with screen refresh rate?
Lovely video Will, I’m gonna have to dcc my stock to come have a play, also just wondering are those ‘h sets’ kits and if so where can you find them????
Thank you! Absolutely you should.
I actually don’t fully know, I know they’re resin kits but I have no idea where they come from, but sometimes they pop up on FB marketplace. I believe trainbuilder has also done them!
I take it that NR’s are very popular at your club!
I think they had just come out at the time!
At 4k a ticket, Can't believe how cashed up these people living in this layout must be. Indian Pacific seems to be running 3 or 4 trains a day..
I agree! Although their are a few cheaper options, I'd love to be able to do it one day!
Hey Will, do you know what dcc chip is in that Great Southern I think that is what it is called lol (The Orange one)
Hey mate, unfortunately I'm really not sure!
@@WillJamesRailways Ok no problem
I love the horn in it!
5:00 who makes the mk3 liveried H Sets?
Hey! I believe they're are Paul Sutton 3D Print!
@@WillJamesRailways Thank you!
Beautiful Layout but it's a bit dark, could be lit up a bit more.
Yeah hopefully it’s something the club can work on down the line. I guess next time I’ll push the camera a little harder on the iso!
@@WillJamesRailways Still a great layout though, a lot of work went into that.
I know its just me but those trains are funning way to slow..... Music or commentary is much better than background chat.
It's Australian railways, they certainly don't move quick!
I can absolutely take that on board for future videos, thank you for the comment!
Nice. Also why do the NRs have the horn sound file from the C44acis?
Hey thank you! I honestly hadn’t noticed! I have absolutely no idea!
@@WillJamesRailways I mean it can't be too difficult to get an NR class horn recording especially in Vic/NSW, after all, there's 119 of them
@@aydoyt absolutely! Something that can be easily fixed… if you’ve got a programmer, unfortunately I as yet do not.
@@WillJamesRailways I don't even have anything model train related lol 😛
@@aydoyt I mean you say that now! Give it time haha
i want one great work
can you do a xpt and a horshem train model set
Thank you!
I do want to get an XPT hopefully Auscision do a re release in the future!
Can you get 3801
Australian Railway Models does 3801 at a good price, you can get second hand brass and eureka models ones as well!
Brilliant detail to this layout but does anyone know where this is based on? The underground system looks like western melbourne around dynon.
It’s not based on anywhere! It’s all freelance
@@WillJamesRailways oh...................ok then.
