Omg! This is just brilliant 🤗. My logo is a birthday present this year, arriving in April 2024. I simply can't wait! You have really inspired me. Your layout and detailing are fantastic. Thank You so very much for taking the time to put this content out.
Nice update! loved all the new details. Great tip about gluing and filing the wheels on the vehicles. The weathering looked nicely done and not to over powering. I am now at this stage with my layout so this is a very timely find which I found useful, All the best Tony.
Weathering!! For many years I have thought yes but never got round to it. Now it's not just the exhibition layout but over 1000 pieces of rolling stock. Too old and shaky to do it all now. However looking at this video really makes me want to have a go. When the layout was at shows I never ever had any comments about lack of weathering to my stock, but I did put some paint on my 200 mineral coal wagons which came up rather well, more by chance than design. Thanks for the video, really enjoyed it and I have subscribed. Cheers, Bob
Thanks Bob! For me, weathering has made all the difference and makes the whole thing look more 'real' to me. But everyone has their preferences... if you're happy with your wagons and layout as-is then it's all good!
Really enjoyed watching your video. amazing how the finishing touches add up. Time to binge watch the rest of your series. I enjoyed it that much. Ive subbed.
For large cable spools, you could use a sewing bobbin. These are plastic and about 20mm overall diameter withan 8mm external diameter shaft. You just need disguise the ends to make them look wooden.
Hi there... it is interesting you say that as I originally looked at bobbins. However, for N gauge they are all way too big. The little pieces I made are about 5mm in overall diameter, they're tiny!
Wonderful layout. Do you think you could do a wagon weathering video? Nearly every other video on RUclips used an airbrush and I know you said you don't currently.
Hi Oscar, thank you for the positive words! Yes I would certainly like to build a much larger layout, either in N gauge or OO. I just don't have the space for it right now unfortunately.
I think no driver would want to take out a lorry onto the road with that much dirt on the windscreen. I think you need to remove a lot more of weathering to look realistic.
Hi Tim, the magnets are for the couplers. If you stop over them (in theory), then you can uncouple wagons without having to touch them. If you watch my video here you can see them in action: ruclips.net/video/d4ckcj0yck0/видео.html

@@hedgehoghobbies2836 I'm looking forward to your next video. Are you going to the NEC Warley model railway event at the end of November

Thanks Tony, glad it is of some use to you. When it comes to weathering I find it hard to judge when enough is enough... Sometimes less is more!
Looking really good. 🙂
Thanks very much for your comment.

Thanks Lewis! Yea the finishing touches make all the difference. Glad you are enjoying it and hope you like the other videos.
Hi Nice little layout, its the details that take thinking about to make it look how you want it, great work!
Yes very much agreed - they seem to take more time than anything else!
Exactly
Outstanding!
Thanks very much!

For painting PLA, a quick dusting with halfords plastic primer spray allows your paint to stick really well. Your layout looks tremendous by the way
Thanks for your kind comment David, that's a good tip for the PLA. I have a whole bunch of Halfords primer in the garage!
😍
Super nice !!
Thanks very much for your kind comment!

Hi there! Thanks for your comment... I am currently working on a weathering video as per your suggestion! Thanks.
That looks really amazing well done! Are you ever going to build another n gauge layout?
Hi Oscar, thank you for the positive words! Yes I would certainly like to build a much larger layout, either in N gauge or OO. I just don't have the space for it right now unfortunately.
What time do we clock on ? great stuff, so well done, admire your patience and skill
Nine o'clock on the dot Mr Sheriff!
Thanks for your kind words.
micro magnets

You'll have to take it up with the driver... I am afraid he is a notorious slob.
what is the magnet on the track for?
Hi Tim, the magnets are for the couplers. If you stop over them (in theory), then you can uncouple wagons without having to touch them. If you watch my video here you can see them in action:

Why have you used N gauge vehicles with what is clearly OO guage trains?
If they're oo gauge trains then I got ripped off - they're tiny!
i'd ACTUALLY like to hear what you're saying. please ditch the dreadful lift moozak..................
