4F Struggles Through Neville Grove With Unfitted Goods

- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Many locos that pass through the weathering workshop are glamorous express locomotives that receive a nice shiny polish. But I'm delighted to show here one of my favourites - the humble Midland 4F. This is the excellent Bachmann model and has been given generous lashings of soot, ash, coal dust and road dirt to really make her look the part on a typically slow unfitted goods train.
For those of you that demand a little more glamour then keep watching as the goods is looped to allow an express to overtake. Another express storms through the lower level station for good measure.
The Neville Grove workshop transforms ready to run model trains with various weathering effects and techniques. Both the distressed appearance of an old 4F workhorse, as well as the 'oily-rag' sheen of a gleaming express locomotive can be recreated to bespoke specifications. Filmed on the in house model railway, the video footage is then carefully synchronised with sound of the real locomotives, using original "Transacord" recordings taken in the 1950s and 1960s by Peter Handford.
More details of Neville Groves's bespoke weathering service can be found here: neville-grove....
Many more of Peter Handford's excellent archive recordings of steam trains are currently available through Old Thundridge Records.
This superb, absorbing video demonstrates a step change in an approach to railway modelling. Amazing realism with the weathering, and then real sound of the actual prototype locomotive has been carefully synced to the model. Love the realistic sheen on the express engine boilers, not like the dusty matt brown offered by other weathering studios. It's just astonishing! Love the layout design - a service offered by Neville Grove - I'm planning to ask them to create one for me.
Thanks for your insights and extremely kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I would be delighted to work on a layout design with you one day.
This is not just a video. This is visual poetry.
Hahaha thanks! I have some great Peter Handford recordings of Midland 0-6-0’s - they really make this video.
Thanks, must go and wash my hands now, that loco was lopped.
What an evocative video, perfectly orchestrated with the sound recording. Great job!
Thank you very much!
A recent life changing stay in Hospital. As made me want to. Start a new layout after many years. This video brings back memories of my 4F that I have stored. This video just reinforces building a new layout. An excellent weathered model and layout. Keep the videos coming.
Please do start the layout and good luck with it! Thanks for the kind words, there are plenty more to come in the pipeline 👍
Excellent
Many thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Nice lighting through the trees on this one and more superb sound sync.
Thanks Mike! It’s on a tight bend through those trees so that view is reserved for slow trains with short wheel base vehicles 😂
Congratulations on a brilliant series of videos. The wonderfully detailed layout , the loco and rolling stock finishes, combined with the "live" recordings make for transporting some of us back in time. Thank you. Have subscribed for more!!
Hi Bob, thanks so much for the awesome comment, for watching and for subscribing. Plenty more videos to come - welcome aboard!
Love the 4f. I have the same loco!
Lovely machines, ubiquitous and full of character - great for the railway modeller.
Loving the weathering on the rolling stock.
Very impressive overall, trees and grass look well blended and the fences must’ve taken ages, but worth it!
Thanks and thanks very much for watching. Indeed, I still have quite a bit more fence work to do 😅
Just how I remember the 4Fs
Hi, Impressive realism. Great work ! Any chance to do a review on your layout? The track plan seems interesting. Thanks for sharing & greetings.
Hi! Glad you enjoyed the video, yeah sure - the layout is still very much a work in progress though!
@@NEVILLEGROVE Thanks for your reply. Looking forward to see. Success with the build !
@@phil36310 I should have sent you a link to my website that shows the track plan, so here you go now:

Enjoy the video will watch again
That’s great! Thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoy it as much next time!
@@NEVILLEGROVE Your welcome. Doing a oo gauge layout to.take care

What an excellent video. You have a lot of beautiful locomotives. Do you have any diesels.
For that first cut of wagons, are those knuckle couplers? I did not know the UK models had knuckle couplers.
The year is 1993 a little girl name Abby is sitting on a bench at the park with daddy reading a story book and you know who's on the cover why it's James and this is the story of James and his mixed traffic goods form day's gone by on the other railway
Another cracking video, I'd be very interested to learn about your lighting set up, looks like the background is separately illuminated?
Hi, thank you very much. There is nothing particularly special about my lighting - in fact I am looking to improve on it further. At the moment there are recessed spotlights which have had very bright 10W LED lamps fitted. They are wide angle with a 120° beam but of note is that they have a very high colour temperature of 6000K (daylight bulbs). These are far better at replicating natural light and showing the actual colours of objects compared to a "soft white" or "warm white". The Backscene is not separately illuminated, but the wide angle beams of the spotlights wash down them.
@@NEVILLEGROVE Many thanks, wow very impressive then, what camera may I ask?
Would it be possible to use the sound you’ve used in a video. I’ll be sure to credit you
Umm it would usually be fine with me, but I am only allowed to use these sounds because I’ve got permission from the copyright owner - Old Thundridge Records. You would need to get permission from them rather than me I think. They own a large collection of the recordings made by Peter Handford in the 1950’s / 60’s. I bought them on CD, and they are available online if you Google Old Thundridge Records / Peter Handford.
