Well, old faithful looks wonderful, good job!
Thanks! It’s a lovely engine, and the SR livery is brilliant
Worth the wait! What a lovely interpretation of SR No. 1... and now I'm even more tempted to get on with my own attempt. I think my favorite part is how you removed the splashers from the footplate. I tried to do the same but my clumsiness caused the entire runningboard to come in two... lessons learned!
Excited to see the completed diorama plus potential future SR flights of fancy. It's always great to see a down-to-earth, grounded Sodor brought to life and I'm sure the Rev. Awdry would be proud. Keep up the fantastic work!
That’s brilliant to hear, and best of luck with your model!
So the footplate took a bit of time to figure out, as too much and the model might not have much structural stability, so slow me steady with the dremel on that one!
That’s an honour to read, always been a fan of the SR, and it’s been super fun modelling it like this, and certainly won’t be the last!
These small models look so cute I LOVE THEM you clearly seem you like you know what your doing and your work emphasises that
Thanks! Yes they are lovely little models, big models are great aswell, but you say, these have cute factor
@@GWilliamsonModels yeah with how small they are in their story book world
I love the models! The music is far too loud though. At times I could hardly hear the voiceover.
Yea it’s not the music, but the microphone which is far too quiet, it’s a new one and I need to turn it up even more for the next ones, sorry!
@GWilliamsonModels Hi George, yes I have been revising on your videos as I've only just discovered you and also thought you are a tad quiet. Still a great watch though !!!
@@gs425 hopefully you’re finding the newer videos ok?
You’re definitely going to win. This is way too amazing.
Thankyou, I don’t think there is a ‘winner’, on this challenge, I think it’s more for fun!
@@GWilliamsonModels ohhhhhh
Incredible video love to try and turn a skarloey into an early Talyllyn to suit my Dolgoch Midlander and soon to be Douglas and Alf
Give it a go, it’s not too difficult, and very rewarding when you’ve done it yourself
“that would never suit His Grace.”

Classic Duke
fascinating video I'm kind of sad I cannot make the event this year, the background music was too high in your mix and I struggled to hear you at times
Yes it’s the microphone sorry, this will be fixed for the next one
I found that too.
@@vikingofengland sorry about that
No need to say sorry, just don't do it again 🥰 Great videos as always.
@@vikingofengland sir, no sir!
Stressful isn’t the word! That black gunk wash is too much for me. Haven’t summoned up the courage to try it yet!
Cheers
As long as it’s kept out of mechs and moving bits, it’s not an issue, so far (touch wood) I haven’t had a problem, and I’ve been doing it for years..still time though!
Impressive transformation! How did you get the two black rail guides/side rod guards off? Do they just lift out or do you need to take the body shell off first to do that?
Thanks, I dismantled the body, and it’ll just come away
Fantastic as always!!! Wht kits were the wagons? Particularly the brake please
Thanks! They we made by Dundas Models, and I buy mine through the Corris Railway website to support them
May I recommend raising the audio levels of your videos a bit? It comes out a bit quiet, even at full volume.
Yea sorry about that, I noticed after the upload. It’s a new microphone and appears you need to turn it up more than you think!
Nice although I am more of a scenery/diorama guy but I do like steam trains. Maybe because I am old enough to have seen them running. ( BTW, small gripe, music is much louder than your voice).
Yes, unfortunately you’ve found the video when the mic was playing up, sorry about that! Strange thing was that it didn’t show up as an issue in editing.
I’m not usually into dioramas myself, but I couldn’t turn this one down
congratulations on 1000 subscribers, time for that sweet sweet youtube ad revenue!
Thanks mate!
Okay, Across the pond here, and in Tennessee, whats more. Can you give the name of the stripper you used on the plastic parts, as I didn't catch the name? Thanks, and I am throroughtly enjoying your work.
Hi there! Yes, it’s called ‘dettol’, it’s actually antiseptic liquid, so you may need to check if you get it over there, I’ve looked it up and apparently you ive something called ‘Lysol’? Might be worth experimenting with that
@@GWilliamsonModels Thanks!!
once i was weathering a coach and i did the covering it with black paint method it was so scary so i promised myself never to do it again even though it came out really good
It’s a tricky technique, but if it’s acrylic, you can adjust it with water at any point
Skarloey
The very same
Excellent job, George! The diorama is coming along nicely and looking awesome! On average, how long does it take you to fully paint a model?
Thanks Tony, do you mean a locomotive? From priming to weathering, it takes a couple of days, the van or wagon take about a day. It all depends on how long the coats take to dry. The lining on skarloey took a few hours aswell
@@GWilliamsonModelsmy apologies…should have been more specific. But yes, I was talking about a loco! You make it look so easy! 😂
@@TonysNWR no problem, it depends on the loco, because it’s one doesn’t have lining or borders, it wasn’t so bad
Amazing videos but just one thing are they supposed to be 720p?
Well my phone isn’t exactly the latest model that I film on, so I first assumed not, but I’ve checked, and apparently it can be watched in 720p, but you need to manually select that in the options
@@GWilliamsonModels AHH Okey u film all on your phone looks great, would be good to see if you have the option for 1080p would make the veiwing even better, but I truly appreciate you taking your time to provide and product truly top quality content, that's ACTUALLY USEFUL
@@g.r.railway7302 thanks, im hoping to up grade my phone in the near future, it’s long overdue, and has many issues now, so the quality will improve then I guess!
let me guess, the old boat you use in the lighting sequence is the next restoration project.
I can’t remember that, so it’ll be a surprise for both of us
@@GWilliamsonModels well, its funny, but I posted that commentary for a restoration video of a youtuber nicknamed , I'm really wondering how on earth did it end here.
@@arnaudlandry7370 I still didn’t say it was a definite ‘no’ though 😂
Great transformation,but the background music is too loud and I can't hear you talking
Yes unfortunately the audio was an issue during this build, but hopefully you’ll find the newer videos to be less of an issue
As it's a diorama I assume it's not working?
I now live in a small flat and I have built the entire Isle of Mann railway fleet, locos, coaches and wagons in 1/285 scale, and some of the stations to the same scale
Correct, it’s a static model. I will be building another small layout soon, but that will be a working model, so keep an eye out for that one
Hey, i have a question about weathering. How long do you wait between applying the black paint and washing it off?
Hi there! So I literally start applying water as soon as I’ve finished adding the black, just because you don’t need to scrub at the model to get the black running, but I have gone back to a model days later and altered the finish by applying water again, being acrylic, it’ll always be affected by water, but might need some encouragement!
@@GWilliamsonModels thanks for replying! I'm working on my own models, and this will be most helpful!
@@musclecat1005 anything else, just ask!
rip skarloeys face 2023 - 2023
Had to be done unfortunately!
George, will you make a Rheneas Model to go along with Skarloey?
Probably not for this diorama, but if the Talyllyn do another challenge, I might well do
Will you be reading the number 1 plates to his coal bunkers as per the books?
Yes, but unfortunately etched plates take months to have made, so they would have never been done in time for the video, I’ll add them on at some point
Why did you remove the number on is Skarloey is already the number one
Because I’ll be adding etched number plates instead
What black wash did you use on skarloey?
Typically I use a standard acrylic black heavily watered down
I good video, however I found the commentary very difficult to listen to, due to the high volume of the background music.
Yes, unfortunately there was a technical fault during this video, which has ruined the audio, hopefully you find the later videos easier to hear
I'm confused with this scale is it N or HO ?
Is 00 scale, so 1/76, but the track gauge is 009, or ‘n gauge’, as in 9mm. As it’s modelling a narrow gauge not standard gauge, it requires smaller track gauge
What was it you said?
There were audio issues with this video, sorry about that
@@GWilliamsonModels Sorry to be so grumpy. Love your videos. I have binge watched them. Reminds me of my vacation in Aberystwyth, enjoying two narrow gauge rides. Merry Christmas. Greetings from Norway.
The music made your narration hard to hear.
Yes sorry there was an issue on this one, my apologies
The (unnecessary) music is much too loud. Why you just don’t get rid of it, it is not a benefit? It is the content that makes a video professional. Not being able to add background music. I stopped the video after a minute because of this. Hopefully you will do a new upload without the background music.
Thank you for commenting, unfortunately I have had teething issues with the new microphone, the music is not loud, the voice audio is too quiet. I’m sorry to hear that you chose to not continue the video, perhaps just watch it with subtitles (with are available) and the sound off, if you deem the content good enough.
@@GWilliamsonModels Can I ask why you deem the background noise essential? Btw, you should be able to increase the recorded audio in your video editing software (gain). Alternative to a new microphone, you can also just record into your phone and hold the mic about 10 cm away. That's how I record voices for sound project, no fancy microphone needed.
@@macnavi yes of course: I watch a lot of RUclips videos, and feel the music adds to it. Videos with no music are susceptible dead air, especially in ‘how to’ videos such as mine, when I wouldn’t be constantly talking. The music has been too loud by error, as stated, but I would never remove music from my videos, as I hardly ever finish watching a video with no music. It’s boring, irrelevant of the quality of the content. also, my phone microphones are broken, it’s necessary to use an external mic.
Hope this answers your questions, anything else, please fire away
@@GWilliamsonModels Thanks for your explanation. OK, it's your choice. Again, you can raise the gain in your editing software. Something for next time, then.
@@macnavi I’ve recorded the audio for this weeks Friday, and it’s how it should be, hopefully you’ll stick around to have a look
