Hi, greetings from Birmingham. I've, subbed to see how this goes on. As a matter of interest, back in the 80s I was a member of Shildon/Hackworth MRC. I was involved with Sodom Hall, Phoenix Rd, and Shildon. We got around a little as well as orginising our own annual exhibitions. Sadly life moved on and I quickly lost touch. But I did see the Shildon layout once on RUclips a couple of years ago. Not had the circumstances to continue modelling either, though I have kept the interest.
Hello. Just found your channel and subscribed. You're doing a brilliant job. You have vlogs from the start which I didn't do. Only been vlogging for a few months. Love to see you're progress as time goes on. Well done buddy. DELPH JUNCTION (Pete)
FLATBOTTOM CONTINENTAL "HO" versus BULLHEAD RAIL BRITISH "OO" !!! I guess by the style of the layout it was supposed to be "Steam era". But maybe the seller sold the layout because its using Peco "HO" scale flat bottom track. Not the new Peco Bullhead rail (British style) track with correct OO scale sleeper spacing ??? Flatbottom Rail became the norm in Europe before WW2. But Britain resisted this type of rail for very good safety reasons, until the 1950's. So until that time Britain stuck with Bullhead shaped rail (which is shaped with a double head top & bottom) which requires "chairs & keys" to hold the rail vertically, and you can still find quite a lot of Bullhead track in Britain on secondary routes. British Model track producers for commercial reasons have always been obliged to make track to HO 1:87 scale. Not true British OO scale at 1:76 or they wouldn't be able to export the product. But a couple of years ago Peco finally introduced a track type more suited to British OO scale (a sort of halfway house), using British type Bullhead shaped rail & correct British OO scale sleeper spacing to 1:76 scale. Obviously they can't use "OO" spacing between the rails as that is in reality 18.83mm, not the "HO" 16.5mm still used. As you would have to rebuild all your rolling stock to either "EM" (18.2mm between rails) or Super Finescale P4 standards at 18.83mm between rails!!!
This is such a great layout! Subscribed ❤🚂
Thanks so much! 😊
Amazing value! It looks great now, but will be awesome when finished! Liked and Subbed! Cheers, Andy

Nice looking layout and a really great bargain! Shame about those missing buildings.. Cheers Joachim
Thank you and I know it’s a shame about the buildings but hopefully I can find something similar or better and put my own stamp on the layout.

Thanks so much! 😊
Those bungalows at the right hand end look like the old Airfix trackside range.
Great video!
Thanks!
£200.00😮 Absolute bargain. That's a lovely little layout, I especially like the station building, like to know what make that is.
Hi Tony, il do some digging and try to find out what building it is. A lot of the buildings are wills kits but il have a look
@@Northernlinejunction Thanks. You don't usually see single storey station buildings that large, looks like it might be two joined together.
@@tonypetts6663hi Tony so I think it’s a Wills Kits SS67 Wayside Station kit bashed with either something else or two kits together
@@Northernlinejunction Thank you.

Maybe quite possibly. My eyes have adjusted to the incorrect sleeper spacing over the years so it doesn’t bother me too much but thanks for info 😊
