    Thanks for the video.
    Think you mentioned in another video about replacing the left hand point on the new scrap yard sidings with a right hand - I think it will look so much better if you did that.

    Regarding the previous update, the algorithm was really pushing it. Your videos have popped up on my feed every now and then, but this particular one was persistent! Got yourself a new subscriber because of it. Enjoying the videos :)

    My current layout is Walmington-on-Sea - a Dad’s Army layout. My collection of locomotives are Southern Railway steam locomotives and my son has just completed turning it into the Dad’s Army layout it is.

    Gee, that last build update video is doing well. Most people can't work out why 1 video does 10 times better than the last.
    Maybe it's a good sign for this video. 😊
    You're right though, that bloke doing the ballasting made a terrible mess. you should have a word with him.
    Nice update mate.👍

    • @UndergroundEric

      Yeah it seemed to be quite a hit! I didnt really do anything different though i dont think?

    Brilliant video, as always, Eric. Great weathering on the yellow wagons. Dirtier the better !! Heljan dogfish I find a pain. Nice wagons though. I have a rake of 10 and the couplings are cr@p. Don't get de-railing problems though (apart from when pushed !). Waiting to see how you're going to do your canal water. Great idea on the exhibition layout.

    • @UndergroundEric
      @UndergroundEric  Год назад

      Gotta be filthed up!!
      The dogfish i will need to sort out soonish, theyll go nicely with a pannier tank.
      Im still too scared to do the canal 😂😂😂

    Always a pleasure when a new video drops! I watch it at least twice over picking up all the details - my only request is to see at least one train running each video - that's just me :) Keep up the great work 😎😎

    Great to hear the locomotives as well as seeing them move!! Three of my locomotives have DCC Sound fitted to them!! They’re the Wainwright C Class, the Southern T9 greyhound and the little M7 tank locomotive.

    Wow!….youve made some good progress Eric! A bit of feedback though…the virtual quarry track would not be weathered like that irl as there arent trains running. Would it not be more clean and dusty? Just a thought not a criticism by any means mate.

    Great video dude. The layout and mancave are really looking good. @39.26 Have you tried using paintbrushes rather than your fingers to apply paint? 😉 It's not quite as fun, but its more accurate 😊
