The blue tarp really worked nicely. The color is a nice contrast to the weathered tender body, and the sheen evokes that kind of plasticized all-weather material, which again helps fix the module on a point of time
Yeah what started out as a convenient way to cover the coal load has actually brought that whole little scene together really nicely! Thanks for watching 😃
Fantastic video, I really liked the siding, you always see those sidings with scrap locos and wagons on them, and the scrap loco you done was brilliant, and it makes it a bit more special that you grandfather built it, and being on the layout now, your grandfather is part of pitley 😀
A really great video and so interesting to see it coming together; am sure this will be a great addition to the railway. These areas on a preservation railway always have a feeling of great character which you have brought out so well. Your Grandad would be pleased that you a contribution on the layout in his memory - nice touch. So good to have early access to the content thanks. Would be great to see how you make the tarpaulin, thanks.
It's certainly made shunting on the layout much more interesting, moving wagons between this siding and the two on the yard module while not getting in the way of the passenger trains. Yeah it's great to have one of his models on the layout, a really great reminder of where it all began. And I suspect the tarpaulin will get it's own stand alone video in the near future once I've completed the layout. Thanks for watching 🤩
23:20 I’m sure he’d be happy to know you’re using it now. Also, I know that by this point, Pitley is completed, or as completed as any layout can ever be, but a minor suggestion, maybe put some chains or rope holding the locomotive to the trailer, just for an added touch of realism.
I think he'd love the channel overall to be honest... I'm gutted he never got to see any of this. Oh definitely, the focus was definitely on getting the overall scenics passable for the exhibition but I'll have plenty of time in the future to go back in and add little details like that. Thanks for watching 🤩
Great video keep up the great work 👍👍 Also please could you do a video on how to make the tarpaulin as I would really like to incorporate into my railway👍
I enjoyed the vlog, but on the loco on the trailer, remender the the loco sits on temporary rails on the trailer + also timbers and packing is stored on the trailer for off loading!
This is just a temporary scene at the moment as I was under a tight deadline for the exhibition. I've got years ahead of me to tinker with the layout add extra details like that. The lorry/trailer themselves are also far too shiny at the moment and need some light weathering too. Thanks for watching 😃
Love watching vids like this now I've got a bit past all this new fangled stuff!!!! That shiny low loader needs a touch off weathering and a little blue bath hat over the funnel would finish it off?? Great vid, thanks👍👍👍
Yes the low loader is very much a temporary measure for while I'm working to a strict deadline. Once the exhibition is over I'll have plenty of time to go back and weather things like this, sort out the point rodding and add extra detail across the entire layout. Thanks for watching 👍
It's definitely a common sight at heritage lines so I really needed to recreate it somehow. I think the loco is actually a 4MT... at least that's what it said on the box. Thanks for watching 😃
I love your videos so much you make it easy to try I have now decided to enter a layout in next years main show so ill be re watching these a lots cheers Alan from Australia
Hi mate! Excellent content as ever, and I am so glad to see that the siding that you told me to patiently wait for has materialised finally! 😅 Looks really good and the access road and walls make it look convincing 😎 Nice to see your Grandad’s old Mogul on the layout. I actually bought one as well years ago with the idea of creating a cameo in the engine shed I eventually hope to build with the mogul in the process of being lifted off its wheels or even to place stock under the front with the pony truck disassembled or undergoing emergency repair or something close by 🤓 My dad built one when I was about 5 so I promised myself I’d build one as well…and one day I shall…eventually 🤣😂😅 Cheers matey, have a fantastic Christmas 💚👍🍻🎄🍀
It definitely adds a lot more interest to layout, both from a visual point of view but for operations as well it's great fun to be able to shunt this siding between passenger trains on the mainline. Thanks for watching 😃
Great scene, makes me want to get working on my own 6x4 layout which just needs ballasting removed to fix up again and done properly, another addition could be a few people in orange jackets around the truck as welll
Awesome, sounds like a good project for the New Year! Yes a few people in Hi-Vis could look good. I've got a few of those around the shed area so perhaps I can repurpose a few of those. Thanks for watching 😃
Given the amount of request I've had for it, I think it'll definitely be happening in the New Year once I get round to filming it. Thanks for watching 😃
I do it on all my layouts now. It's so much easier this way and has the advantage of soldering to the underside too so that the droppers are even less noticeable. Thanks for watching 😃
It won't be news for you to learn that your uploads are GREAT! They're so enjoyable to watch and are genuinely informative. I've learnt loads, having been away from the model rail scene for a long time. I think many of the viewers will agree that you've got a likeable way of explaining things, in an understandable manner that is so timely you answer our questions even as we're thinking them! ** BRAVO!! ** Also your editing & choice of background music is perfect as it seems to convey a thoughtful optimism before evolving into an up-tempo groove (?) when the work really begins to take shape! Watching these has inspired me to begin work on a 009 layout in the style of one of Rev. W. Awdry's railways (Duck Gordon & Edward are the best!) Thank you for doing a great job!
I love getting comments like this, not because of the compliments but it's so great to hear how my silly little videos have inspired others to go out and give it a go themselves. I do work hard to make everything as easy to digest as possible and that includes the editing and music. But certainly with the information there's nothing that annoys me more than gatekeeping in a hobby. 😅 Best of luck with your 009 layout and thanks for watching 😃
Was wondering why you had scrap engines on a preservation railway, but it makes sense they would want to restore these scrap locomotives eventually! Great video as always!
Take a look round any heritage railway and they all have a siding like this holding various rusting hulks that may (or may not) steam again one day. It's one of the things I knew I wanted to include when I set out to model a heritage railway semi-realistically as it's such a common sight. Thanks for watching 😃
Yeah it's great to have something he made on the layout. Ah brilliant, I have a lot of my Grandad's old locos as well, it's nice to keep them running if just for sentimental reasons alone. Thanks for watching 😃
Another incredible video - we salute you! Am I dreaming or did you decide to do a black wash on your ballast in one the videos to make it all look a bit less clean? Been hunting high and low but can't find it?!
Really glad you enjoyed it! No you're not dreaming, Episode 20 I believe... it wasn't a black wash, it's was the grime solution from Geoscenics that comes in their track weathering kit. The rest of the layout actually needs this adding too as currently it's only the station and yard modules that have it. Thanks for watching 🤩
I must say that I look forward to seeing everyone of your posts, you make it look so easy, possibly some people will not know it actually takes ages please keep up the good work
Thanks Graham! I will say that nothing I do is particularly difficult but you're right in that it does take a lot of time, especially when you have to film everything too. Thanks for watching 😃
Love the scap siding and the rusty locos with the tarp. Clever use of the low loader as well, I think to finish it off you should do some weathering of the low loader lorry as it looks a bit new and shinny against the rusty loco. Thanks for showing us how you make it. All the best Mark
Yes the low loader is definitely just a temporary measure at the moment for the exhibition. There will be plenty of time in the future to weather things down and add more detail across the entire layout once I'm not working to a looming deadline. Thanks for watching 😃
Preservation sidings like that are severely underrepresented in model railways, and yours looks brilliant! I’d love a tutorial on the tarp, since it looks almost exactly like the real thing
And that's exactly why I wanted to include something like this on the layout. Preservation layouts often just end up being a label to be able to run whatever you want (which is absolutely fine!). For me though, I really wanted to capture the difference between the nicely presented areas around the station for the public, and the dirty/grimy areas where the preservation society do all their work. Thanks for watching 😃
Great video Mate. I like the addition of the siding to the Module it just adds some interest to the scene along with the rusty loco and tender. Looking forward to the next one. - Nicholas.
Yeah, definitely one of my new favourite modules... just being able to shunt stuff between this siding and the two up by the station has added a whole new aspect to the layout. Thanks for watching 😃
I’ve done the same truck loco combo myself. Only thing I did was to add rails to the trailer bed. As this is how I’ve seen locos delivered before. I think it was at the bluebell line. The tank engine was on rails that were lined up with the siding rails and a class 08 shunter was used to remove it. It was an awesome sight.
Yeah this is just a temporary measure for the moment while I was working to a tight deadline for the exhibition. There's lots of things on the layout that I'd like to improve when I have more time in the future. Thanks for watching 😃
Love your videos and seeing this layout develop. Can I suggest to you one of the best investment for me was a tub of flux (solder with flux coating is rubbish) the flux helps dispatch the heat and make the solder flow and fix so much better. Honestly it'll make a big difference if you try it 😀 Cant wait for the next video.
To be honest I don't really do enough soldering to warrant it. For me, the more bits and pieces I have to assemble to do something the less likely I am to do it. It's the same reason why I tend to prefer manual brushing over an airbrush 😅 Thanks for watching 👍
The layout is coming together nicely. I feel it's a great example of 'less is more'. There's enough detail without going too overboard. I'm not overly convinced by the Pug in the yard though as a loco wouldn't really come apart like that but I guess it was easier as it's the way the model comes apart. In answer to your question, a tutorial on how to do the tarpaulin would be great. It's something I've wanted to try in the past
Thanks Nick, that's definitely what I had in mind throughout the build. I didn't want to cram too much in but still wanted it to have some interest. The pug is very much a piece of modellers licence. As I said in the video, it was left over from another project and I couldn't bring myself to just throw the rest of the body away so this seemed like a good solution. Thanks for watching 😃
I use tea leaves instead of soil and after looking at it, I think it would make some good bark if you ever thought about adding a playground to a future layout.
Hi Barry, the exhibition was earlier this year. The series was filmed over the Summer which is how I'm able to release all the episodes close together. I'll be sure to let everyone know if the layout does anymore shows in the future and of course the Spa Valley exhibition happens every September. Thanks for watching 😃
This one turned out beautiful. The hay bales just add to this modual. Thanks for sharing. Your Grandfather would be prode of being add to your layout. You should get a figure made of him and stick it on there too. GOD BLESS from America 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖
It's definitely great to have some of his work find a place on the layout... whose to say he isn't already present on the layout 😉 Thanks for watching 👍
He's definitely honoured around the layout in lots of different little ways... although I would say the entire thing is really a testament to the enthusiasm he inspired within me. Thanks for watching 😃
Some of the rods are off on one side already. But this loco hasn't necessarily been to a scrap yard, it may have just sat around doing nothing at various heritage railways for several years. Thanks for watching 😃
Thanks, yeah it's nice to change things up a bit... I might even go back a redo a few other sections on the layout this way. The tarp has been really popular so it's definitely getting it's own video! Thanks for watching 😃
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy no problems, thanks for your help and guidance buddy, and please carry on making great videos and being g so approachable with your subscribers
Hi Jim, we haven't shipped the first batch yet so there won't be any news on a second lot before that. Realistic I'd expect it to be sometime early next year. Thanks for watching 🤩
As I said in response to other comments, this is just a temporary measure while I'm getting the layout ready for the exhibition. I'll have plenty of time in the future to add more detail like this across the whole layout. Thanks for watching 👍
I have tried it in the past... the GoPros I have are all too big for the loading gauge so they hit the tunnel, platform, bridges, etc. I'd probably need one of the small session cameras to be able to get it round the layout. It's something I would like to be able to in the future though. Thanks for watching 😃
I've also learned that a really good way to get a bunch of old decay-able rolling stock is to go get super cheap models off of eBay or something. That's what I've done, along with yard sales and even the occasional abandoned scrap or garbage. I recommend one abandoned around the 1980s at latest, 1950s by earliest.
A point of pedantry (and model railroaders tend to be pretty pedantic), I think the gate should be open if the lorry (it's a UK railroad so it's a lorry, not a truck) and low-loader are there, because how did the lorry get in the yard in the first place? Otherwise, i really like the scene!
It can take quite a while for locos and rolling stock to be loaded/unloaded - especially if you have to wait for passenger services to end for the day... that's my excuse anyway. Thanks for watching 😃
Well, I reckon you're an Englisher with a 00 railroad. I paint my cork roadbed grey with my airbrush to look like ballast before laying track. Are you using 00 or HO track? When using natural dirt it's best to put it in the oven for 30 or so minutes @ 350 to kill anything that may be residing in the dirt. I have a ton of lichen growing out back on a hill that I'm soon gonna gather and preserve for future use. I use real bituminous coal for my steam tenders. I got a big chunk of bituminous coal I went after with a hammer and smashed it to small bits about HO gauge. Cheers & Merry Christmas from eastern TN
Hi there, yes this layout is 00 gauge. I do indeed put the dirt in the oven to kill off any bacteria - I think it mentioned this in a previous video as I've used the technique a lot throughout the layout. Thanks for watching 😃
when I build my scrap yard, its not going to big, but crammed with junk car bodies and little bits and pieces. auto, but mostly train cars, 2 tracks into it but one line will be for deadline locomotives, and cars that will be on deadline, and RIP track for cars and locomotives that can be repaired. I dont have alot of room but enough to make working dioramas. I will post a video when I get done. I cant wait!!
Loved it, even as a stand alone diorama it looks great. But, should the siding have a catch point?Also, any signals? (even if modelled in a disused state)
Yes in reality the siding would need a catch point but it would take up too much space on an already short siding if I included it. This is something I've standardised upon across the layout. No signals though as this is a heritage line so it's all controlled by the ground frame which would only be unlocked by permission of the signaller further up the line. Thanks for watching 😃
Hi Colin, the layout was exhibited earlier this year at the Spa Valley Railway, that's the exhibition I'm talking about in the videos. (This series was filmed over the Summer and edited during the Autumn) There's no more exhibitions currently in the diary but if I am able to attend anymore I'dd be sure to let everyone know. Thanks for watching 😃
I've always liked scrapped sidings or scrap dressing in general. I don't know why but much like the over grown siding you did prior, I think it has something to do with it adding detail or something.
I think a big part of modelling stuff realistically is not having everything look perfect. So by modelling more dilapidated areas and stock we perceive it as more detailed and less toy like... that's my theory anyway. Thanks for watching 😃
I was working on the logic that a siding like this wouldn't probably have a catch point in reality. So release, catch and point levers. But don't draw too much attention to it or everyone will notice there's nothing connecting the frame to the point! 😅 Thanks for watching 👍
Our point to the siding at Priors Lane only has 2 levers....the fpl and the point lever....same with the point at the Embsay end of the Bow Bridge loop. The fpl lever is released by an annetts key on the section staff
Quick question about the video editing: What music do you use during your videos and where do you find it? There's a song that plays in this video and I swear I heard it in one of The Sims games, would love to know where it actually comes from.
Hiya, I write all the music heard on the channel specially for the videos. I've never played The Sims so I'm afraid I don't know what piece you're referring too but yeah, all the music on here is my own to get around copyright issues. Thanks for watching 😃
Hi there, those are the Chaldron wagons from Accurascale: www.accurascale.com/collections/chaldron?sca_ref=3910801.DlQ0S2Kwhm (affiliate) Thanks for watching 😃
Hiya, there's all the obvious things like making sure you've got fresh batteries in the applicator and making sure the ground wire is touching near where you're applying the grass. Something else I do after applying the grass is run the mesh back over the surface without the hopper attached. You should be able to see the grass fibres moving around with the current and this can help a few more to stand up in the glue. With the first shorter layer it's really difficult to see if it's standing up at all, it's really only when you get to the 4mm and 6mm fibres you can start to see the height. Thanks for watching 😃
I really like how that new corner module lines up nicely with the Station Mate! Spot on! And I'm sure your'e grandfather would've been proud of what you did to his BR Standard 4MT Kit: ruclips.net/video/exYq9wSsA30/видео.html
Hiya, we're still shipping out the first run at the moment. Once that's done we'll look into making future batches but obviosuly that's unlikely to happen until next year at the earliest. When it's available again Channel Members will get first dibs on placing orders before it's open to everyone else. Hope that helps and thanks for watching 😃
They're roughly the same general size but not to the point where you could do a body or chassis swap. I'd say the L&Y pug is a bit more squat than the Peckett too. Thanks for watching 😃
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy no I wasn’t doing a body swap I already made a peckett out of Lego and I’m going to make a pug out of Lego but I’m not sure if they’re the same size or not
Hi can you help me out with this? what is space between two pieces of parallel track as you have shown on your making platforms video in mm OO gauge as I cant find out it would be of great help to me as I think I have got it wrong in the pass thank you.
Hiya, I believe it's 34mm from rail to rail - PECO actually make a track spacer tool designed exactly for this purpose if you're having trouble with it. Thanks for watching 😃
Yes the low loader is very much a temporary measure for while I'm working to a strict deadline.

@@ThatModelRailwayGuy that’s the beauty of premieres, I can still watch them anytime after they well premiere, but there’s something so special about watching them live

In answer to your question, a tutorial on how to do the tarpaulin would be great. It's something I've wanted to try in the past
Thanks Nick, that's definitely what I had in mind throughout the build. I didn't want to cram too much in but still wanted it to have some interest.
The pug is very much a piece of modellers licence. As I said in the video, it was left over from another project and I couldn't bring myself to just throw the rest of the body away so this seemed like a good solution. Thanks for watching 😃
I use tea leaves instead of soil and after looking at it, I think it would make some good bark if you ever thought about adding a playground to a future layout.
Good to know if I ever take up drinking tea. Thanks for watching 😃
Great video, you make it look so easy. When is the date for Spa valley exhibition, we can come along and see you.
Hi Barry, the exhibition was earlier this year. The series was filmed over the Summer which is how I'm able to release all the episodes close together. I'll be sure to let everyone know if the layout does anymore shows in the future and of course the Spa Valley exhibition happens every September. Thanks for watching 😃
This one turned out beautiful. The hay bales just add to this modual. Thanks for sharing.
Your Grandfather would be prode of being add to your layout. You should get a figure made of him and stick it on there too.
GOD BLESS from America

It's definitely great to have some of his work find a place on the layout... whose to say he isn't already present on the layout 😉 Thanks for watching 👍
Your grandad would be proud and maybe in his honour you could name a loco or station after him
He's definitely honoured around the layout in lots of different little ways... although I would say the entire thing is really a testament to the enthusiasm he inspired within me. Thanks for watching 😃
You should take the rods off on one side as they were one of the first things to be taken off at scrapyards
Some of the rods are off on one side already. But this loco hasn't necessarily been to a scrap yard, it may have just sat around doing nothing at various heritage railways for several years. Thanks for watching 😃
if you wouldn't mind could you show how to make the tarpaulin over the tender?
I've had several requests already so I think it's safe to say that will be getting it's own video in the new year. Thanks for watching 😃
As usual mate, you’ve done a cracking job on this module, and the change in the scatter is brilliant, and yes please, do a video on the tarp please 🙏
Thanks, yeah it's nice to change things up a bit... I might even go back a redo a few other sections on the layout this way. The tarp has been really popular so it's definitely getting it's own video! Thanks for watching 😃
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy no problems, thanks for your help and guidance buddy, and please carry on making great videos and being g so approachable with your subscribers
Any word on more of the flexible drystone walls being made?
Hi Jim, we haven't shipped the first batch yet so there won't be any news on a second lot before that. Realistic I'd expect it to be sometime early next year. Thanks for watching 🤩
@ThatModelRailwayGuy
Nae budder, just wondering.
If you do another batch, I'll try and be quicker off the mark.
They do look very impressive 👏 😀 👍
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy
Can you let me know when you're going to have more, then I'll order a couple. Thanks 😊.
Verzendt u ook buiten de UK? Naar Nederland?
Think the loco on the lorry would look better if placed on rails and blocks and chains
As I said in response to other comments, this is just a temporary measure while I'm getting the layout ready for the exhibition. I'll have plenty of time in the future to add more detail like this across the whole layout. Thanks for watching 👍
I would like to see a tutorial on how you make that tarpaulin on the tender.
Yeah there's been several requests already so looks like I'll definitely be doing that in the new year! Thanks for watching 😃
You should put a GoPro on a flatbed
I have tried it in the past... the GoPros I have are all too big for the loading gauge so they hit the tunnel, platform, bridges, etc. I'd probably need one of the small session cameras to be able to get it round the layout. It's something I would like to be able to in the future though. Thanks for watching 😃
Wonderful and patience pays off
Yep all worth it in the end! Thanks for watching 😃
Rusted things are so fun to make ngl
Yeah it was definitely good fun having a go at these and fits into the heritage railway theme I'm going for perfectly! Thanks for watching 😃
I'm doing almost the same for my railway, but American. It's very fun to just do all that decay in an afternoon
I've also learned that a really good way to get a bunch of old decay-able rolling stock is to go get super cheap models off of eBay or something.
That's what I've done, along with yard sales and even the occasional abandoned scrap or garbage. I recommend one abandoned around the 1980s at latest, 1950s by earliest.
A point of pedantry (and model railroaders tend to be pretty pedantic), I think the gate should be open if the lorry (it's a UK railroad so it's a lorry, not a truck) and low-loader are there, because how did the lorry get in the yard in the first place? Otherwise, i really like the scene!
It can take quite a while for locos and rolling stock to be loaded/unloaded - especially if you have to wait for passenger services to end for the day... that's my excuse anyway. Thanks for watching 😃
Well, I reckon you're an Englisher with a 00 railroad. I paint my cork roadbed grey with my airbrush to look like ballast before laying track. Are you using 00 or HO track? When using natural dirt it's best to put it in the oven for 30 or so minutes @ 350 to kill anything that may be residing in the dirt. I have a ton of lichen growing out back on a hill that I'm soon gonna gather and preserve for future use. I use real bituminous coal for my steam tenders. I got a big chunk of bituminous coal I went after with a hammer and smashed it to small bits about HO gauge. Cheers & Merry Christmas from eastern TN
Hi there, yes this layout is 00 gauge. I do indeed put the dirt in the oven to kill off any bacteria - I think it mentioned this in a previous video as I've used the technique a lot throughout the layout. Thanks for watching 😃
when I build my scrap yard, its not going to big, but crammed with junk car bodies and little bits and pieces. auto, but mostly train cars, 2 tracks into it but one line will be for deadline locomotives, and cars that will be on deadline, and RIP track for cars and locomotives that can be repaired. I dont have alot of room but enough to make working dioramas. I will post a video when I get done.
I cant wait!!
Awesome, sounds like a fun project. Thanks for watching 😃
Thanks
Thank you so much for supporting the channel Carl! It really is appreciated 🤩
Loved it, even as a stand alone diorama it looks great. But, should the siding have a catch point?Also, any signals? (even if modelled in a disused state)
Yes in reality the siding would need a catch point but it would take up too much space on an already short siding if I included it. This is something I've standardised upon across the layout.
No signals though as this is a heritage line so it's all controlled by the ground frame which would only be unlocked by permission of the signaller further up the line. Thanks for watching 😃
Would like to see how you make the tarp.
It's been very highly requested so a video is on the way! Thanks for watching 😃
I just love Train scrap yards, got a broken model or building? Just put it there!
Definitely a handy way of reusing older models, especially with a bit of weathering. Thanks for watching 😃
Great video keep it up love the layout
I'll certainly try too! Lots more videos on this layout coming really soon. Thanks for watching 😃
Have Ho N Loinle and Marx O Amcsr Flyer
Excellent module, quick question ,when and where will you be exhibiting the layout ??
Hi Colin, the layout was exhibited earlier this year at the Spa Valley Railway, that's the exhibition I'm talking about in the videos. (This series was filmed over the Summer and edited during the Autumn) There's no more exhibitions currently in the diary but if I am able to attend anymore I'dd be sure to let everyone know. Thanks for watching 😃
Make the killdane experiment
I don't know what that is I'm afraid. Thanks for watching 😃
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy it's this locomotive that is the body of an A3 on a 9f chassis
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy its a fanmade thomas thing made from scrap
Please do a vid of the tarpaulin it looks really good
It's been very highly requested so a video is on the way! Thanks for watching 😃
@@ThatModelRailwayGuylooking forward to it keep up the good work👍
I've always liked scrapped sidings or scrap dressing in general. I don't know why but much like the over grown siding you did prior, I think it has something to do with it adding detail or something.
I think a big part of modelling stuff realistically is not having everything look perfect. So by modelling more dilapidated areas and stock we perceive it as more detailed and less toy like... that's my theory anyway. Thanks for watching 😃
3 levers needed on the ground frame? You could have only 2.... Padlocked or annetts locked point lock lever and then the point lever itself?
I was working on the logic that a siding like this wouldn't probably have a catch point in reality. So release, catch and point levers. But don't draw too much attention to it or everyone will notice there's nothing connecting the frame to the point! 😅 Thanks for watching 👍
Our point to the siding at Priors Lane only has 2 levers....the fpl and the point lever....same with the point at the Embsay end of the Bow Bridge loop. The fpl lever is released by an annetts key on the section staff
Quick question about the video editing: What music do you use during your videos and where do you find it? There's a song that plays in this video and I swear I heard it in one of The Sims games, would love to know where it actually comes from.
Hiya, I write all the music heard on the channel specially for the videos. I've never played The Sims so I'm afraid I don't know what piece you're referring too but yeah, all the music on here is my own to get around copyright issues. Thanks for watching 😃
Given the amount of requests I've had already I think it's a definitely happening 😅 Thanks for watching 👍
Can I ask what sort of vacuum you use to mop up excess static grass etc
Hiya, just a little handheld one. There's a link to it in the description. Thanks for watching 👍
Is there a particular reason you used yacht varnish rather than the usual static grass layering spray for the grass scatter?
It was cheaper! 😅 My original plan was just to use hairspray but I wanted something that would hold a bit stronger. Thanks for watching 👍
@@ThatModelRailwayGuyHaha, perfect answer! Thank you and well done on another great video, and Happy Christmas
At the end of your video what type of wagons is the 48DS PULLING
Hi there, those are the Chaldron wagons from Accurascale: www.accurascale.com/collections/chaldron?sca_ref=3910801.DlQ0S2Kwhm (affiliate) Thanks for watching 😃
Hello! I use the same static grass applicator as you, but my grass work doesn’t stand up as effectively- do you have any tips on how to improve?
Hiya, there's all the obvious things like making sure you've got fresh batteries in the applicator and making sure the ground wire is touching near where you're applying the grass.
Something else I do after applying the grass is run the mesh back over the surface without the hopper attached. You should be able to see the grass fibres moving around with the current and this can help a few more to stand up in the glue.
With the first shorter layer it's really difficult to see if it's standing up at all, it's really only when you get to the 4mm and 6mm fibres you can start to see the height. Thanks for watching 😃
I really like how that new corner module lines up nicely with the Station Mate! Spot on! And I'm sure your'e grandfather would've been proud of what you did to his BR Standard 4MT Kit: ruclips.net/video/exYq9wSsA30/видео.html
Yeah it is nice to have this as a little extension to the station. Thanks for watching 😃
Any idea when the multi pack wall will be in stock?
Hiya, we're still shipping out the first run at the moment. Once that's done we'll look into making future batches but obviosuly that's unlikely to happen until next year at the earliest. When it's available again Channel Members will get first dibs on placing orders before it's open to everyone else. Hope that helps and thanks for watching 😃
Is the hornby pug the same length and height as a peckett or is it shorter in length and height cause to me they look about the same size
They're roughly the same general size but not to the point where you could do a body or chassis swap. I'd say the L&Y pug is a bit more squat than the Peckett too. Thanks for watching 😃
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy no I wasn’t doing a body swap I already made a peckett out of Lego and I’m going to make a pug out of Lego but I’m not sure if they’re the same size or not
Hi can you help me out with this? what is space between two pieces of parallel track as you have shown on your making platforms video in mm OO gauge as I cant find out it would be of great help to me as I think I have got it wrong in the pass thank you.
Hiya, I believe it's 34mm from rail to rail - PECO actually make a track spacer tool designed exactly for this purpose if you're having trouble with it. Thanks for watching 😃
Thank you
The lorry looks a bit clean and almost a bit small
Yes the low loader is very much a temporary measure for while I'm working to a strict deadline. Once the exhibition is out of the way I'll have plenty of time to go back and weather things like this as well as sort out the point rodding and add extra detail across the entire layout. Thanks for watching 👍
Hi
Hello there 👋
So sad I missed the premiere, but hey, what can you do?
No problem, the video is available to watch anytime you like. Thanks for watching 😃
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy that’s the beauty of premieres, I can still watch them anytime after they well premiere, but there’s something so special about watching them live
No no no no no no no no no steam train 😢😢😢😢😢😢
To quote Monty Python: "It's only a model" 😅 Thanks for watching 👍
I used to watch your show but will no longer.becausse I don't want to hear comercials!
That seems a bit short-sighted considering that the sponsors for this channel are generally model railway related (so might actually be of use) but also that you can easily skip through them. I have to keep the lights on somehow, otherwise there wouldn't be any videos at all 🤷🏻♂️
Il parle tout le temps c'est gonflant
That's the point of the video, to explain what I'm doing so others can follow along.
Thanks
