Think you should put your hand up for the chancellor's job given your clear grasp of fiscal policy. In your spare time you could wallpaper the PM's flat at #10...Nice job Michael thanks
That entrance looks suspiciously like the dismal b&b my parents used to take me. Needs a dinner bell on the table! I’ve seen O gauge layouts with less detail. Stunning.
As someone that's currently renovating an old victorian house, multiple layers of wallpaper will make it all the more genuine! Absolutely incredible work as always!
You are right - it would look great. I have some LEDs in the drawer but I was finding lighting buildings tedious and I realised I don’t actually enjoy the electrical side of building. I’ve therefore decided to leave this street unlit.
Fantastic as usual. For those that do not model in N Gauge, it's difficult to realise just how tiny this all is and what an achievement your town scene is, the camera does it no justice. Keep it up, this for me is one of those rare channels on RUclips that you just can't wait for the next instalment. I have 200 plus white plastic N Gauge people and cows etc to paint. Not looking forward to it, but very inspired by your work.
Hi Michael - as always your attention to detail is to be commended ! Great advert for N gauge and shows the possibilities that can be achieved with a little bit of time and patience. Cheers Euan
Loving that flock wallpaper and stairs. I’m getting the impression that the owners know the place has gone way past it’s best but are trying desperately to cling onto some semblance of being a high brow hotel. Great addition.
"That looks about right", says Michael, then works with mullions 1/2 mm wide!! Not only looks right, it looks fantastic. Top quality, and you only need a seedy receptionist to complete the look. This is compulsive viewing, even for non railway modellers like myself. Great stuff, Sir. George
Thank you Bob. No light on this one. All my earlier buildings had light but I was finding it tedious and I realised I don’t actually enjoy the electrical side of building. I’ve therefore decided to leave this street unlit.
Awesome...before you see the stairs in the jig all looks good.....then you see how small each part is.....wow! Will you be making brass beds for each room?! Lol
I like to have doors ajar where I can too, but I usually position someone coming in or out so you can't see the complete lack of interior! ;-) Saves me looking for period correct hideous wallpaper.
That's a lot of work, but as always, the results are spectacular! And with finding out (too late) that you put the wallpaper on upside down -- I feel your pain. However...I've been scratch-building a couple of HO-scale haunted Victorian-era house dioramas, and the torn wallpaper is EXACTLY the type of effect I've been trying to go for. I also shrank down several of those creepy Victorian-era type portraits and put them on the walls, where you could see them through the windows...along with some unidentified entities staring out the windows. The first haunted house took about 35 hours over twelve days, and I'm still working on the second, which is thankfully a lot smaller and less involved.
I did wonder about lighting it like I did the Weir and station buildings but I’ve decided not to light this building. The street will have 20 or so properties on it and I don’t enjoy wiring up lighting very much, so I’m leaving it in darkness. 🤔😲
A great little Easter egg. I appreciate this detail!
It was good fun!
Stunning
Thank you!
Love the interior...and that wallpaper; wow!😎
Oh yes. It’s lovely isn’t it!?

Hahaha! I may even last longer than the last one!
As always, BRILLIANT!
Working in HO I often need to add some hint of interior detail and am doubly encouraged by your excellent entry foyer
Thank you
Brilliant! Thank you.

N gauge dinner bell made from a folded piece of paper perhaps!!?

Brilliant work Michael. Also a very clear and concise video. Thanks for sharing. Roy.
Thank you Roy!
That was amazing Michael, thoroughly enjoyable.

Thank you Chris. Hope all is well with you.

Haha thank you Mac. Good luck with your renovations!
A warm white micro LED (36 cents each for a pack of 25) would add a nice illumination to the lobby!

Thank you… that’s very kind to say. Good luck with all that painting!!
Astounding as always
Thank you!
good build on the layout thanks lee
Thanks Lee

Thank you Euan!!
I love how you keep track of the costs for your builds! even a few pence for the sellotape.. haha. Another interesting video. Craig.
Hhaah - I will start to do the same again when I start making Station Road.

That’s exactly it Stu! I’m looking forward to writing the Index entry on this one!

Oh yes! I should have put someone inside! :)
@Chandwell Oh no, the receptionist will be out the back having a crafty fag & will amble in 5 minutes after the bell is rung.
I approve of faded glory.
Thank you James!
Wonderful Michael. Very impressive. I was wondering if you might be adding a touch of light inside?
Cheers, Bob

Hahah. Maybe not! 😂😂😂
Excellent details. Great job. Thanks for sharing. Dave
Glad you liked it
Hi Michael. All you entrance needs now is a dusty old attendant. Lol. Thanks. See ya.
Ah yes. What would he/she be called?

That’s because you are a genius!
Well done Mike brilliant work as always attention to detail is amazing looks really nice even if it is old the whole layout is really nice
Thanks Steven!
@@Chandwell your welcome Mike keep up the good work
The lobby turned out great! I love things like that!
It was good fun to make Mark! (And congratulations on your member's badge turning magenta - one year!! Thank you!)
I really appreciate the internal detail, too many scale modellers seem to neglect it.
It was good fun to make. Probably won’t ever really see it.

That sounds wonderful! What a fun project!
If the hotel is open, have you thought about lighting the interior, at least at the entrance?
I did wonder about lighting it like I did the Weir and station buildings but I’ve decided not to light this building. The street will have 20 or so properties on it and I don’t enjoy wiring up lighting very much, so I’m leaving it in darkness. 🤔😲
