Magnorail Update & Running Session
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 дек 2018
- I've been slowly making some changes and adjustments to the magnorail system since the last video. I run through those and also address some of the comments from the previous video. Most of the video focuses on the running session which was a lot of fun to film.

A super and well presented video. Your layout could become a magical spectacle, with the ability to run very many trains and your intended road layout and the cars you run, are super. I do hope you go on building as you have started. Very well done.
This is absolutely great!
And to those that criticise, do better and post a video!
Looking good....nice to see the HST's running at scale speed,it looks much more realistic.
I may have accidentally forgotten to tell you how much I learned and indeed how much I enjoyed these videos.
I hope for more videos featuring Dean and Barry in the future.
James Petts lol
Dean Park and "Scrapyard" Barry
Never thought I'd hear the sentence "swop the Volvo out for a more reliable...Morris Marina".
Will you be fitting a first floor into the WH Smith's?
Cant wait to see all the scenery finished
Those cars bring back memories of roof racks, rep mobiles and those rubber strips hung from the back bumpers that were meant to stop you getting electric shocks.
I can’t believe anyone could criticise what you’ve achieved...it’s amazing 😉
Great to see another update and running session so soon after the last one. I really enjoy every minute of these videos and how you're developing everything. Thanks very much, look forward to the next installment
The piece starting at 5:50 made me guffaw in the middle of the staffroom, and made everyone else stare at me oddly.
Great stuff - keep up the good work.
Your new layout is looking, and running, superbly well, thanks for posting your efforts!
Really exceptional work so far and is really coming together now, could just hear the cars over the trains but only just. Keep up the excellent work and can't wait for the next update
Hold on a minute! At 09m18s you said the crash was caused by the Volvo. It is at a junction and I would say it was the fault of Dean (in the Capri and probably on his CB) being too close to Grandad and shunting him up the backside. Let's have little less it was Grandad's error - thankyou.
It is sad during the summer when you are not posting videos. It keeps us Grandads informed and entertained.
Hi Richard
Great video, enjoyed the magnorail update but particularly liked seeing some long trains running on the layout.
Wishing you a happy new year.
Looking forward to see next years updates.
All the best Paul
Happy Christmas 🎄 Richard. Fantastic update on Everard junction Looking forward to 2019 progress Thanks Stevie 😄
I don't collect trains or have a clue what I'm watching, but it's 11pm Boxing Day and this video is amazing. The cars moving are great! Fascinating
Absolutely brilliant as all ways ! Looking forward to the next 1 .... All the very best to you and your family ( Joe Walker ) 👍👍
another impartial review on your new system . always a pleasure to watch
Another great video, really impressed with the Magnorail system, and the work you’ve done. 👍
The road system is getting there! Great to see a lorry on it.
Lovely to see the whole layout in motion.
Noticed you're slowly making the adjustments on the cant on the curves! I discovered if you make the transition a minimum of 2 coaches long you loose all the wobble as the trains enter and exit.
Awesome running session!! The Magnorail is running very smooth now! Love it!! Cheers Onno.
A happy Newyear to you too ! As always you descripe things in an understable manner 👍👍🌲🌲🍾
From my comments on some of your videos you already know how much I like your layout. Now I have to congratulate you for your work on the Magnorail...and for those very well weathered tank cars. I really like them.
The tilting effect you added with slightly higher rails on one side is hypnotic as a train goes round a bend. I'll keep that into mind when I'll be designing a layout :)
@Walter Sobchak Thanks walter :)
I'm starting to get really excited about your layout Richard!
Sounds good to me and adds so much more intrest as you have said. And the odd pile up adds to the fun!!
Dear Richard,
I’m not a modeller myself, but I enjoy watching the progress of Everard Junction immensely. I’ve been thinking about the difficulties you have been having with some of your heavier vehicles - the magnorail road itself seems perfectly okay.
One difficulty is that, because there is no real steering on the vehicles, they are essentially dragged sideways around sharp corners, so that the front tyres generate a lot of friction. (Geometry means that friction is much less for the back wheels.) A solution might be to add weight to the extreme rear of the vehicle (behind its back axle, which will act as a pivot), so as to reduce the load, and hence the friction, on the front wheels.
If this does not work, you might additionally glue the front wheels so that they cannot rotate, and mount small coasters at the very bottom of the front tyres: these will enable the front wheels to move with equal ease in any direction. To make the coasters you might buy map pins having heads that are black, 1/8 inch diameter beads. A pin would be mounted inside the very bottom of a front tyre, with only a small portion of the bead protruding.
A lesser factor causing friction is that, in turning, an outside wheel wants to move faster than the corresponding inside wheel. For this reason, widen each wheel’s central hole slightly so that it can rotate freely on its axle, independently of all others. (Of course, this suggestion does not apply to any fixed wheels with coasters.)
Enough from me for now, I look forward to seeing you beginning work on your station; and how the novel ‘sweeping’ corners of your new layout will be landscaped.
Regards, Peter.
Spot on mate, attention to detail is unbelievable in your commentary. All the best
Really enjoyed that! I'm a big fan of the working road system!
Joe
Fantastic update and running session, really enjoyed that , thanks for sharing, cheers Dazza
Merry Christmas to you and yours. Never mind the nay-sayers. You are the guy in the ring, doing the work. Your layout - you make the rules. Thank you for taking the time over the holidays to give us all another Everard Junction video. Much appreciated
Thank you for the update and keep up the good work looking forward to seeing the next update..👍
Hi Richard seeing the cars moving takes your eye off the trains momentarily, then you will look back to the trains, at first it's very strange and cool at the same time, but then gives an overall great affect, lovely running shots, my favourite model rail you tube channel, brilliant thanks darryl
Layout is looking great! I especially love the coil and girder steel train with that beautifully weathered pair of Class 37's up front. Very nice!
Another update and all looking good. Keep it going cheers Matt
Looking amazing Richard loving the road system the running session was brilliant to looking forward to the next update have a great New year and see you again in 2019 ps your layout is one of the best I seen cheers Anthony
Hi rich hope you had a good Christmas 🎄. It’s coming along nicely love the HST’s all running at a nice speed 👍
Looking good... don't forget a replacement bus service !!
Love the road. Happy New Year!
I think this is wonderful. You’ve done such a great job! The Magnorail looks awesome 👍
As always, great job it’s coming along nicely!
These trains bring me back to Manchester, in 1987. Good old times.
What a fantastic addition to your layout....Congratulations Cheers Greg
Really enjoyed that. Some of the weathering is outstanding, those 37's and the oil tankers deserve particular mention. Well done sir. Amazing how evocative seeing period vehicles running alongside the track is. As for the marks on any road surface it is hardly going to look like British tarmac if is it pristine. We'll leave that to the Germans in HO!
Cars in your neighbourhood have the wonkiest wheels I've ever seen... :-)
Nice intro to Magnorail though; moving cars are a real step towards more realism.
Hm, looks pretty accurate for British Leyland product...
Magnificent, Richard!
Remarkable how much bigger the Pukka Pies' vans are these days.
Not the pies themselves, perhaps . . .
Very bext wishes and thanks,
John in Littlehampton.
Great video. Nice to see trains and cars running. And then there is the Volvo 760 as beautifully insulted 😒😃. I had a 760 Turbo at that time my 4th Volvo and for what it was it was incredibly fast. Since then I have had 7 V70s including the limited edition 300bhp version as supplied to motorway patrol, Rica tuned to 380bhp. Still drive one today...16 years old and still going strong with 200k miles on the clock. Don't underestimate a Volvo!! 😃
Cheers, Bob
Really coming together well now, wait till you start using DDC Sound , you'll need a Ear defender warning before the video starts haha
Thanks for the link pal! :-D
Hello! :D
I think that close tailgating unnerved the old boy into veering off the road....great update and work on the road vehicles, the wheels have made a great deal of difference in the smooth running.....great running session👌
Nice video I’ve bought it now too. The magnorail
Looking good dude. Trust you and yours had a great Christmas.
Very Very good, in fact i think its bloody brilliant and i love the use of the old 70s and 80s cars. Well done sir.
Your hard work really shows!
excellent video of the trains running great selection and happy new year to you and your family great update as well :)
Impressive as always! Happy New Year.
As always, brilliant. I find it silly for people to complain or negatively comment on something before it is done- or at all, just don't click "like" if you have a problem.. Asking questions is great, expressing concerns is great. Complaints... meh. … Anyhow, pricing Magnorail compared to the Faller Car System (which my wife is asking me whether I am planning to use), it is much less expensive in the long run. As someone who has made other videos over the years (not train related)- video cameras do pick things up differently, so your new Demo is Spot On and shows the magnorail properly. Enough so that I am considering it heavily on my coming layout, whereas Faller was price-prohibitive. Obviously, everyone will react differently, and we have to make our own choices, but people like you do an excellent job of bringing ideas and other things to the attention of many of us who normally might not have had a chance to know about it. (I know, sound like a crawler, but screw it, it's sincere). There's a reason you are one of the tops!
My singular question, which I am not finding, is can it be sub-level? In other words, mount it flush or semi-flush to the table to account for the levelling of roads and buildings in the middle of a layout.
I think it's very important to say if people don't like something. It's how we all improve. Believe it or not, Richard is not the 'God' of modelling.
@@brokeastronomer If he is drawing a paycheck from it, certainly. If sharing a hobby and people complain, especially without understanding, then no. There is a difference between making a suggestion or seeing things differently and just complaining or whining that you don't like something. You don't like something, move on. Have a suggestion, make it in a proper manner. It's not about anyone being "god," it's about being human.
Anthony Dodge The Model Train Outsider of course he's drawing a paycheck from these videos. Have you seen the number of views? I should think it goes some way to paying for the layout & good luck to him for that. I agree that politeness costs nothing but it is important to be able to criticise. Richard is a fine modeller but that doesn't mean that he is always right.
"...I find it silly for people to complain or negatively comment on something before it is done- or at all, just don't click "like" if you have a problem..."
This, like all YT vids, is put out for comment. As such, you have to expect some will be negative. You may find it agree with those, but others may well.
@@brokeastronomer If someone dont like something then they should just move onto another video. Why the negative comments? Using your own words... Do the negative commentators make them "Gods" of modeling? I see vids that I dont like everyday but I dont feel the need to go any further than hitting the thumbs down button, but then again "I aint GOD"...
A dirty mark on the road surface simulates the oil stains running down the middle of real-life road lanes.
Nice video Richard. I notice though that Southern Water have already been in and had the MagnoRail road up!
Thanks as always for your tutorials. They are a godsend to modellers really they are.
That Intercity racing by around 23 minutes in the video, just like in real life 😄
Great video. Looking awesome.
Looks great with the cars and trains running together.
Great to get all these tips for magnorail, I have a couple of sets waiting to be fitted to a new layout in the final stages of planning. Couldn't resist getting a couple of cyclists as well even though they are HO, should be OK in the background as I intend to use them. Will be using some Oxford models but also have stashed several plastic kit vehicles to save weight. Many thanks for the clips - really useful.
I love how the trains curve along that particular area
Excellent so many trains running very enjoyable
Nice one Richard my cat loves watching the magnorrail in your video.
Love this, please keep them coming
Great work welldone . All the best for 2019
Love the way you deal with the nah sayers and I knew it, there is some more track work and a bridge in the works. Im sure i saw part of the old engine shed. Regardless im intrigued as always to see where you take us.
I could watch those cars go around that corner all day ❤️
Great vid, Happy New Year!
All the best wishes to you and yours too. Looking forward to the next update. Pity the frontwheels in these cars don’t turn. Will safe a lot of friction too. All the best, Jaap from Singapore
Another brilliant video - thanks
Hello great video well done with the magnorail it is fantastic thanks for sharing cheers.
Those operating cars on the road really are next level great.
The 2nd half of this video is so calming and relaxing I'm going to use it to fall asleep better hah
Hi Richard great vid as always. Long time viewer, first time commenter from Australia. Loving the new magnorail, i think this is something I will definitely develop into my layout which is still at wiring stages. Are the buildings I'm seeing along side the road from your old layout? Or are these new ones?
The cars emphasize the scale of the locomotives coaches and wagons
Making them look prototypicaly large , it just adds movement and perspective , i think it looks ace
Looking good !
Absolute quality. Some guy crashed into my mum's Corolla when I was about 12, driving a red 1275 GT!
Probably said it before. You and Dave class 47 have got same Locos and rolling stock as me. Nice to see Just got the new Heljan NSE class 33. Very nice. Merry Christmas
Great job and looks amazing really enjoying your videos very inspiring. In regards to the road marks really you see this on all roads. With lubeing the chain your spot on certain oils and spray lubes can be detrimental to plastics including loco gears. Looking forward as always to your next video.
An excellent video as always! Couldn’t help notice at about 13.30, where you’ve got the sidings on the branch line, you’ve got a set of trap points, but they throw off towards the branch line. The more realistic approach would be to have them throw off to the left, away from the branch, in order to protect the flanks of any train running on the branch.
You've been doing quite well on making videos a lot lately
Great update I want to try that magnorail stuff one day
Great model Richard,its an insparation to others to get on with theres big or small,the HST needs a splash of dirt on the bogies as even new they were never squeeky clean,keep it up.
I CANNOT wait any longer for the damn scenery
Great vid as always - you need an Arthur and Terry vignette with Arthur selling him the Capri!! Try it - "It could be so good for you!" drumroll, cymbal crash
With the lorry tractor unit, you could put a sign on the side "HGV Driver Training School", which would explain why it is tooling around without a trailer attached. :)
Sueberb work ...realistic speeds...nice camera panning.
I would love to see a truck or two on the road but I bet you have that in mind...😊
I do love the cant on your curves.
It very effective.
So many negative comments. Yes, recorders amplify some sounds. Personally I like what you’ve done. Magnarail is a Farley new product. I’m sure they will upgrade it down the line. People like you work out the little problems and that helps everyone. I started a new layout after a 20 year absence and went with foam board hoping that would be quieter. Not much improvement. But I’ve noticed when the trains run over my trestle bridge they are very quiet. Something to think about. I enjoy your videos. Looking forward to the next one.
your hst's look absolutely brilliant on the banked curves at YT 2x speed :D
Great video loved it
Thanks for all the excellent videos, I'm thoroughly enjoying them. I wondered if there might be some hot wheels that would perform well with this system. Perhaps you could incorporate their friction free axle and hubs into a trailer for the tractor. Just a thought. Great work as always.
Great work. I'm really curious to know how you're going to lay down ballast on some of those inclined curves. It looks like you have a challenge on your hands. Looking forward to see the decorative work commence. :)
Darker center stripes develop on real roads too, from vehicles dripping fluids.
Great video Thanks! All the best in 2019!
Looking good 👍
Happy Boxing Day! Great work!
I'm building my first layout. Is this a little too much work for the first time?
