- Great Western Gala - Yorkshire Dales Model Railway
More intruders in the Dales this week, as four Great Western Railway locomotives venture north - making for quite a long video!
This week I’ve been weathering my Hornby Grange, which I’ll include in a future layout update, whilst making some more trees - a never ending task! I’ve also laid some extra track in the storage yard.
Locomotives featured include:
Hornby 6029 King Class ‘King Edward VIII’ 4-6-0
Hornby 6825 Grange Class ‘Llanvair Grange’ 4-6-0
Bachmann 6639 56xx Class 0-6-2T
Bachmann 3711 57xx Class Pannier Tank 0-6-0T
As always, thanks very much for watching.
VIVAT, BRAWO!!!
Piękne, żywe i prawdziwe. Ukazane z wielu perspektyw. Prawdziwe odgłosy i dźwięki, naturalny, żywy krajobraz. Zadziwiające i zachwycające.
Dziękuję i Proszę o więcej. Pozdrawiam. (h).
Dziękuję Ci. Cieszę się, że film Ci się podobał! będę ich dopuścić.
Sights and sounds and scenery so real i could imagine living there!
Thank you!
Great Western motive power in Yorkshire? Fantastic, absolutely fantastic :)
Thanks 😀
Excellent ! Tout le charme des réseaux britanniques dans un décor réaliste qui permet de se projeter dans un passe pas si lointain .
Merci, j'apprécie! 😀
@@MouldyRaspberry
Merci à vous , le plaisir est partagé .
Hi Lewis, another classic video. Very relaxing viewing. Cheers Greg
Thanks very much Greg 😀
Great filming on a great layout I’ll watch that again thanks 👍👍
Thanks Ken 👍🏻
I really like the stone farm buildings. Also the scenery is wonderful. The trains are nicely weathered. Great layout! Good video. I enjoyed it very much. 👍
Thanks William, appreciate it. 👍🏻 I’ll do a video on making those soon.
@@MouldyRaspberry Cool!
I want to be shrunk down to 00 gauge scale and live on your layout! Looks so picturesque, another great video thank you for uploading
Me too! Thanks very much Ryan, appreciate it.
@@MouldyRaspberry no worries, and a fantastic write up in the hornby magazine too. When I saw this months addition I was like I watch that layout on RUclips!
Hi Lewis, it was great to see the GWR take over the Yorkshire Dales..!!!! 😀😁👍
The double headed Kings looked awesome on the branchline.
It was a great article in Hornby Magazine and enjoyed watching the Hornby/New Junction visit on RUclips clip too. Regards Gary. 😃
Hi Gary. Pleased you liked the article and the interview with Richard, it was nice to do something a bit different 😀
Yes, another brilliant vid. From you I do appreciate the time you put in these productions to make them what they are.
I have a dedicated double header loco which I removed the motor!
Regards, Bryan
Thanks Bryan, appreciate it. I have the same, mines a old B17!
Glad to see you double -heading after the recent SLIP-up! 😂 A cinematic masterpiece as ever, Lewis 👍
Thanks Andrew 😀
Excellent Lewis .... (Yet Again) ...... would love to see a running session using the sidings shown at 11:50 in this video .... but heyyyy not complaining .... ready for next instalment 👍👏👏
Thanks Tom. Those sidings once served the mill I had at that end of the layout, but since making the line a full loop they’ve not been used much. Still undecided what to do with them!
Possibly my favourite video of yours to date.
I thought you’d enjoy this one!
Awesome layout & running session. I really enjoyed it😀
Thanks Martin!
Hi Martin, welcome to this channel! It´s one of the greatest on YT, that`s my opinion! "Mouldy Raspberry" should get an "OSCAR" for his awesome videos and his kind of modeling!!! Also kindly regards to you "Mouldy," from your german fan "DER Z-CRACK" Modelrailroadvideos in scale Z
Yes Olli, it's really awesome and a pleasure to see it. All the best, Martin@@derz-crackmodellbahnvideosinsp
Loved it! I’m so happy to see two freight trains. However the double header was just brilliant!
Thanks, glad you liked it 😀😀
Very Nice layout and trains. I like 👍
Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Ah, the Great Western! Excellent video choice Lewis.
I love the weathering on the goods wagons, especially the faded wooden boards on the vans. Would love to see a tutorial on that.
Keep up the good work mate
Once again cheers from Canada
Bob
Thanks Bob. You’re right, I’m always in need of a couple more wagons so I’ll make sure I film painting then next time. Thanks again 😀
There is something about a curved station that I really like because it’s different and not seen a lot. Ponden looks super in them camera shots. The pannier at 2:40 would have to be my favourite view passing that signal box. Lovely video to watch. Clint
Thanks Clint. Agreed, it provides some great shots of the trains slowing round the curve. I found the idea constructing one really daunting, but after figuring out the trusty foamboard and plaster technique they’re arguably easy than the straight platforms! Have a good weekend mate.
This layout is really a movie stage .... made for filming train videos. I agree the curved platform is so much in place and different in an eye pleasing way .... it blends with the extensive scenery. I have never seen a layout with so much uncluttered rural space ...... it has a harmonious balance and ratio to see so much countryside in videos which is why it's a rare build .... restraining the urge to cram more in pays off.
I have also liked curved platforms and especially ones on reverse curves which must have been rare.
I agree to the two comments below.. I love the history lesson I'll it some more!
Thank you, glad you liked it 👍🏻
Hi Lewis as always a high quality video with great running shots - Cheers Kev
Thanks Kev 👍🏻
Hi Lewis. Excellent video as always. The gwr locomotives look great. In fact all the locomotives you run look right at home on your layout irrespective of what regions they are from. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Chris.
Thanks Chris. They do look at home, maybe with a stretch of the imagination it could be Dartmoor and not the Yorkshire Dales!
Simply wonderful!
Thanks! 👍🏻
excellent video and sound that's a excellent layout well done
Thanks Colin!
Reminds me of my first loco “Albert Hall” then I found the LNER 😀 Love the pannier section..
Haha! Me too, hard to find a more characterful loco. 😀
N2 (with condensing apparatus) must be the most characterful loco of all :-)
Oh I don’t know, a D49 is up there for me..🙂
Only the Hunts, with their Lentz valve gear :-)
Love you videos, absolut great!
Thanks!
mmm another fantastic vid every thing in sync absolutely perfect well done mate syd
Thanks Syd!
Great video Lewis.
Once again, a carefully applied sound application. 👍GWR
Thanks 😀
Man, what an awesome layout!
Thanks 😀
Really great to watch ..thanks
Thanks Brian 👍🏻
One of the best yet. Love it
Thanks 😀
You continue to amaze me Lewis. That was great. Thank you. David.
Thanks David, glad you liked it 😀
Excellent as always!
Thanks!
Superb video again the weathering on the locos and rolling stock is 'just right' Rgds Mike
Thanks Mike 👍🏻
Nice another gwr tender engine.
Good evening great western railway engine. GWR
Thanks Julián!
Lewis,
Thank you for this treat!
You understand my interest in GWR, so this latest, wonderful, atmospheric storyline, accompanied by the setting of your Yorkshire Dales railway with the detail and soundtrack, conjures a convincing return to an era so powerful I can almost touch it.
Another sign of your skill? I also notice that you have been busy adding passengers to some of your coach stock. Well done, again.
Thanks Peter. I thought you’d enjoy this one! So many great GW engines available at the minute. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Yes, I’ve only populated the Hornby coaches at the minute, the Bachmann ones are a bit more tricky to get apart. Thanks again!
Absolutely awesome oh famous bloke lol 😝 love GW
Thanks Steve 😀
Bloody love it. 👍👍
Thanks Jack!
Top clip well edited and again some nice camera angles ....love the sounds of the trains ...and the pannier is jut lovely
Thanks Paul. Can’t beat a pannier 😀
Great stuff really enjoyed this one all the best pete
Thanks Pete!
Thanks great vid very good sounds
Thanks 👍🏻
Great vid
Thanks Alex!
Excellent running session, as always the layout looks awesome. Thanks for sharing. Ken
Thanks Ken! 😀
Yeah, great show ! Special mention on the double heading, something not so easy to do on an analogue layout like yours. And two of my favorites with your performers : the Pannier and the 0-6-2. Keep 'em running gentleman, you've got an audience !
Thanks Olivier. That’s true, there are some pairings that work and some that definitely don’t with the engines running at completely different speeds. Glad you liked it, I love the GW tanks as well.
Another well done and fantastic video, what a pleasure to watch first thing in the morning. Glynn
Thanks Glynn! 👍🏻
Some lovely locomotives that would have been from my local patch. Great stuff 👍.
Thanks Rob, glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Lewis
Great video with some lovely running shots, great angles.
The Pannier looked superb on the mixed freight.
Cheers Paul 👍
Thanks Paul 😀😀
Must say its always a pleasure to watch these.... recently saw your interview and a agree less is definitely more! Though I think a peckett or two might go nicely on your layout
Thanks! I love the pecketts. I’ve always wondered if they’d be okay over my insulated points though. What do you reckon?
@@MouldyRaspberry you probably better to get the b2 peckett like the westminster which would look great weathered up plus they are slightly bigger instead of the smaller 040 wheels
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll get doing some research 😀
Great sound and close up views. I guess the fat controller had something to say about the delay caused by the heavy train last time. Hence the double header this time.
Yes that won’t be happening again! Thanks matey 😀
Sehr schön
Danke!
Absolutely brilliant as always Lewis, and seemingly far more realistic the more you do, with some great shots to boot. Really enjoyed seeing the double header !! Keep up the great work. Kind regards, Greg, NZ
Thanks Greg, glad you liked the double header - I don’t often run them I must admit!
I love the gwr locomotives especially the models too
Thanks Connor, me too.
Superbe 🥰🥰
Thanks!
Great video. The Pannier pulling that goods train does look really good and the weathering of your stock is really good. The real Betton Grange should running this year.
Thanks John. I can’t wait to see it!!
Another excellent vid Lewis, the detail is really top draw. I watched your tree making tutorial & tried it out - really good results, I won't be buying any trees in the future !
All the best, Andy
Thanks Andy. It’s definitely a good way so save some dosh, big trees are so expensive to buy pre made!
Fantastic, Lew! My kind of locomotives this time lol 👌😆. Western steam at its finest! I do love the weathering on your locos and stock. I’m learning slowly but surely how to weather engines and stock by a friend of mine who does it as good as you. The camera doesn’t do it justice though. Love the double header combo though, that was (insert Darth Vader quote here) most impressive 😉. Nice work and thanks for sharing. Cheers Caleb
Thanks Caleb. You’re right, sometimes it’s hard to capture on film. Are you using an airbrush? *Darth Vader voice* You don’t know the power, of the double header!
Poor Buckdale , the tracks are looking more and overgrown! I say 6 months and one track will be almost gone ❤🤔
I’ll have to get the lawnmower out....
@@MouldyRaspberry Ha ha ha
Really like that giant looming water tower at Ponden Station, im going to have to find one of them. Beautifully produced video, it must take a lot of working out all the views you want and then putting it together with sound. Thanks for posting :0)
Thanks Carl, the water tower is a Dapol kit, which you can build and paint. 😀
Once again a stunning video. I really love the way you integrate real sounds in it, and also how the different "cuts" are joint flawlessly together into a whole. It reminds me of many documentary videos I have seen about the BR in Wales and Cornwall. Also, the fact I'm a huge GWR fan makes it even more interresting to me... By the way, the kits (platform, cable rolls & advertising billboards) should leave early next week (I was unable to do it earlier as my back has caused me problems and I was unable to go to the DPD centre to deliver the package). It should take about two to five days to arrive then, and trackig info will be available (I'll send it by mail). Again congrats on the wonderfull layout and thanks for the inspiration it gives me to build my own 1940's GWR one once I have my new workshop & layout room built this spring in my garden (with a layout room about 5.50 m by 3.50 m where I plan to build a layout in U shape with lower level staging and upper level visible section with two stations and connecting helixes (all in single track line of course), loosely based on the GWR in Devon (between Exeter and Plymouth).
Thanks Eric, appreciate it. There are a few of those documentaries and some archive footage on RUclips as well luckily.
No problem, looking forward seeing them. Hope you’re on the mend soon.
Your layout sounds great Eric, sounds like you’ve got a great space to create it in. Can’t wait to see some photos. Thanks again!
Hi Lewis
Great camera angles and sound effects of your layout, always great to watch. And your driver is toned down a bit too "yeah".
It would be amazing to actually meet up with you at some point in time.
Many thanks from your good Scottish friend and massive hi 🖐 Brian 👍🤩
Thanks Brian. They’re getting there - harder to do when they are in the cabs! That would be fab, I need to get myself to some exhibitions so i can meet a few people. All the best mate 😀
Gwr engines look good on the Yorkshire Dales.
I noticed when researching for my new layout that a 43xx and a 74xx where allocated to Yorkshire (Sowerby Bridge and Bradford hammerton street), be interesting to know why they were allocated so far away.
Thanks, I agree they do look at home. That’s interesting, I never know that! I’ll have to look into it. Sometimes it seems can almost always find an excuse to run anything anywhere if you look hard enough!
Nice timing it's raining outside so no work today (Yesterday it was 44C so too hot - Melbourne weather!)
Great to be able to see trains running on your terrific layout as I can't even start building mine for a few months yet.
I'm limited to servicing locos and adding chips to a few, and painting/repairing some of my dodgier rolling stock.
Great video, when will the L&YR trains visit? 😊
44C!!!! Hopefully I can tide you over until you’re able to make a start. That’s good that you can get all the maintenance done though, as I’m sure you won’t want to be doing that when you’re able to start the layout. Other the the radial tank, I’ve not got any more L&Y engines. There don’t seem to be very many produced ready to run.
Interesting to see a Grange and a King allowed to work through the Yorkshire section of an inter-regional express. Evidence that Swindon locos got much further than Nottingham (via the GC) is quite hard to find and then only Halls. Here's the proof!
I can imagine there would probably be a few cracks starting to appear in the bridges after having these ‘red route’ heavy locos thundering over! Glad you liked the video Stephen 😀
Kings were 'Double Red' - even worse!!! And, with the added width of GW locos, I'm surprised your platform edgings haven't been ripped off! Brilliant show though :-)
@@paulcaswell2813 probably the toughest firing turn was Paddington-Shrewsbury and return on a King! How did they cope?!
From a firing point of view, Castles were a fireman's friend. Kings were just overdoing it. Reminds me of a quote from a King's Cross driver regarding the Pep A1s: 'I could kill any fireman with one of these...'!
@@paulcaswell2813 Firemen always have my admiration ... a lot of skill and a lot of grunt (and I have neither!). There's a lovely book called Behind The Steam in which a former driver describes collapsing from exhaustion firing up the Sugarloaf in Camarthenshire during WW2 as a sixteen year old. Now that's what I call 'work'... (or was it Breckonshire?)
Cool. Now do an Eastern region gala ;)
It’s on the way Matty 😀
@@MouldyRaspberry hell yeah! Get a Horny D16/3, I'd love to see my favourite class of loco running on your layout
Hi Lewis, Again a nice most enjoyable well produced video! I'm not a purist regarding rolling stock being 'prototypical' or not. It all blends nicely on your Yorkshire Dales RW. I do not have GWR engines on my AnneliesVille so what 'GWR machine' would you recommend ? I finally received the Hornby Mag ( two weeks by 'Airmail' !!) and find the reading most interesting. I am rather curious about your tree making. Maybe I overlooked one of your video's on the subject ? ... If not - maybe next time you make one please let us follow along ? And, If you plan a holiday in France this year please be my guest for a couple of days. I'll be happy to arrange this. Let me know. Happy model railway-ing & greetings, Filip
Thanks Filip. Me neither, it’s a fictional setting, so I can’t see any issue with fictional rolling stock! Glad you got the magazine in the end and you enjoyed the article! Yes there is a video on the tree making, I’ll send you a link later on if you haven’t managed to find it. That’s very kind of you indeed, I’ll let you know. 😀
Anothet great video & of course those sound effects, but alas still a lot of thirsty & hungry psssengers lol
Thanks Greg! This line will be facing the Beeching axe before long, we can’t afford to be providing gourmet grub!
@@MouldyRaspberry oh no not another Dr Beeching cut! lol
They'd look more at home if they weren't so grimy. But what's not to love about God's Wonderful Railway? Resolven Grange, new in my collection, is weathered yet she's nowhere near as grimy as Llanvair Grange. Lightly weathered engines are more welcome on the Cat Valley Steam Railway. Anything grimier than that for me is a no-go.
13:07
Is the King even on the rails, or was that some DCC black magic?
Also how do your engines take that left curving point so effortlessly? Mine won't even take a Y crossing without acting up.
It’s off the rails - Analogue black magic baby! I relaid that section when I rebuilt the station, so I tested it and tested it and adjusted it until I was SURE they’d run fine. They can be a nightmare can’t they!
top marks for annoying the purists. with gwr engines in the dales and a grange heading an express with the wrong head code ( brilliant double header ). however as great western engines were often revolutionary in design and produced to a high standard I think their quite at home on this layout.
I don’t even have a good excuse for not having correct head codes anymore, I’ve got the headlamps I just forget to change them when filming! Glad you liked it, I think they look at home as well.
Cracking low level shots Lewis - best way to view a model. And yes - I too was wondering 'has he gone DCC?' Nope, analogue magic- nice one! Oh, has the farmer got a military Land Rover or are the army on 'manurevers'? As ever, thanks for sharing. Teresa Findhorn Light
Thanks Teresa, agreed. Just the classic derail and rerail technique, nothing fancy! Maybe he’s just painted it as such as an impersonator! Thanks again 😀
Another brilliant piece can I ask will you be doing anymore weathering videos
Thanks! Yes, I certainly will be doing some more 😀
Mouldy Raspberry Great
¡Hola buenas noches Lewis! Great session, as always. Where do you source your very authentic train audio tracks please?
Thanks 😀 some are things that I’ve recorded at heritage railways, most are the audio from video clips that friends have let me use.
Lewis, you have absolutely nailed the narrative in this video; a superb piece of work. How are you managing to cope with all this fame you have acquired? As ever, Henry.
Thanks, Henry. All this media attention had me considering abandoning my official railway duties and titles, and splitting my time between the UK and North America... I’ve heard Vancouver Island is nice?
Another brilliant production 👍👍. Thanks! A question, did you scratch build the footbridge at Ponden?
Thanks David. It’s the green Hornby footbridge. I trimmed it down and repainted it maroon, then added the smoke deflectors. Pretty sure it’s in a video, one of the Station rebuild series.
Hi Lewis did you make the wooden fences your self the one's that run up and down dale as i notice the that the top bar is set at an angle as it should be,excellent video again. thank you.
Thanks Tony. That’s Peco flexible fencing I think, it’s good stuff as can be made to rise and fall with the landscape.
Subject for a new video ..... the making of Brexit Halt. Have you considered street signs .... there aren't many streets in the layout but it could be an opportunity for humor. Leading away from Brexit Halt could be Farage Lane.
Ha! Some street signs are a great idea, you could have some great names. You’re right though other than a few lanes there aren’t too many streets.
Very pleasant watch Lewis.
The 56xx on the coal train was very reminiscent of the welsh coal traffic they were used on along side the 42/72xx 2-8-0/2-8-2 tanks
The grange and king double header was also nice to see. All you were missing was a castle and a manor or hall. Any plans on getting these classes or not really?
As always lovely layout mate.
Ross
Thanks Ross. I like the 42xx/72xx, certainly tempted to get one at some point, although I know the early releases has a few quality issues. I was torn between the grange and a manor/hall, but the grange seems to be a bit more high spec than the Bachmann Hall though, with the tender pick ups etc. I’m sure I will do at some point, you can’t beat a Castle! Would you recommend?
Thanks again 😀
Mouldy Raspberry
Depending on the tooling I would recommend the castle I have the Barry J freeman pack ‘A date with the dutchy’ and that sped of castle is brilliant. So I would say it’s worth spending the extra money on a newer castle as it’s a better tooling.
I also have the older tooling one and it’s not a very smooth runner but I could be possibly down to requiring a service.
Hope this helps,
Ross
hi mouldy rasberry love watching your videos you have a really nice model railway you should be pround of what you have done.
im thinking of starting my own model railway soon what advice would yiu give me to get the ball moving?
Thanks Daniel, appreciate it. I’d say, make sure you do your research, take your time with the baseboards to make sure they don’t warp and hold up well, avoid sharp track curves (go for the widest you can get away with), and just have fun with it! Best of luck 😀
Great as always nice to see the hoppers on the back of the mixed goods what make are they? I have been looking at the dapol unpainted ones and what ever happen to the class 27?
Thanks Ian! These are the dapol unpainted ones, they are great. The Class 27 is still kicking around!
@@MouldyRaspberry yes they look to run fairly smooth, hell of a job at painting them up 👍
Out of curiosity, how do you remove and/or keep the dust to a minimum? I remember as a teenager playing around with this stuff, but after a while, dust would make everything look terrible.
To he honest I don’t really have any issues with dust, no idea why. I give the track a quick vacuum every now though.
Where is the Brexit Express ?
It’s due by at 11:00pm tonight!
How do you get the sounds for this?
Some are things I’ve recorded myself, some are other people recording they’ve kindly let me use.
For the sake of videos you could add temporary scenes such as a ball on the track and a group of distressed looking children standing peering over the platform edge waiting anxiously for station assistant Mouldy to retrieve it. Just a one off placement for one amusing video with a few trains passing on the other track and one stopping with screeching brakes on the line where the ball lies. You built a stage ... use it to make films.
That’s a good idea! I’ll have to see if you can get an OO scale football!
@@MouldyRaspberry Maybe a dried pea can be painted.
may i know what scale is this?
OO gauge, so 4mm scale 😀
@@MouldyRaspberry thank you. Its stunning.
Very nice! Good to see some proper engines ;)
Like the shiny but weathered look on the Grange. How much was she, if you don't mind me asking? Some interesting different shots too. Recently I've been trying out a mixed train - a passenger coach or two and a small freight train on the back. Really like the idea, it was used a lot on branchlines to save having two trains. Might be an idea for you.
I think I paid about £7 for it! I traded in my West Country for it. I think they go for about £115 in online, it was £130 on my local model shop though.
Yeah I’m sure they were very common, especially a short passenger train with a couple of vans of a milk wagon tacked on. Good suggestion!
great video of the Great Westerns , where did you get your crew from ?
Thanks! They are from Bachmann, you get 5 in a pack.
I just love watching you videos. They are so professionally filmed and capture the period so well. How do you produce those wonderful sound. Are they added and what software do you use?
Thanks! Yes I add the sounds when editing, it’s mainly things I’ve recorded at heritage railways. I use iMovie on my phone, so pretty basic.
