Definitely! I'd recommend it as a great first layout for anyone looking to get in the hobby who wants to go beyond a train set type layout. Thanks for watching 😃
I'll be honest I've never heard of this puzzle before, but it does look like fun and would make for some good practice if you include shunting operations on your layout at exhibitions.
It is good fun and it doesn't even need to be an exhibition thing either. It's great to have a little puzzle to solve on a layout at home to give a running session a purpose. It tends to take about 10-15 minutes to solve, assuming you run at realistic speeds. Thanks for watching 😃
I've got an idea for a way to make it harder you add a break van to the train whilst shunting BUT you have to have the 5 trucks on the mainline as well but the sidings do not give you more space so you have a break van added that must be at the correct end but the only track that is extended is the main line from 5 to 6 trucks
I think that might have the potential to break the game slightly with the headshunt and wagons allowed in sidings. Probably an easier way would be to make one of the existing wagons be a brakevan and specify that it must always be at the end of the train... you know, once Accurascale make a brakevan of course. Thanks for watching
When i play the this i use a break van and pre determine the order i want the train to be in when completed , but i assign parking spots on the shunts, and then pick wagon 1 and random number generator to determine what spot on the track it occupies, and so on until all wagons are mixed and all spots are occupied, then have fun solving it
@@mario_master1 in my mind its like having a train you need to make in a specific order due to several real life factors, needing the break at the back, or the order of future drops or pick ups, i assume this is how it would be done in the real world, i was taught by my dad to number wagons 1-5, parking spots 1-5 put numbers of wagons in 1 bowl and numbers for parking spots in the other, and pull one from each bowl, and that wagon and spot go together, keep going until finished
I LOVE how you managed to do an Inglenook on your layout! Well done! We could say - for argument sake - that the excursion is coming to platform 1 and therefore we do not want to foul the main so to speak. Definitely one of my favourite Inglenook vids! EDIT: After watching fully, of course, the Sentinel and cauldron wagons were occupying the line, so we could not block them! :)
That's definitely one reason for the shunt! In the future I'd like to try a tuning fork type puzzle while passenger trains trundle past on the mainline. Thanks for watching 😃
It would be nice to see you do some videos on the Timesaver shunting puzzle as well. There doesn't seem to be any British model railway RUclipsrs that have done a video on it. It was devised by the same man who gave us the Inglenook puzzle as well.
The problem is you have to build a rather specific layout to play the Timesaver puzzle whereas the Inglenook puzzle can be done on pretty much any layout with a few sidings... that said I would love to do the Timesaver someday! Thanks for watching 😃
The rules are that can't have more than 3 wagons left in the siding....having four coupled to the loco is fine, as long as you don't uncouple the loco and leave all 4 in the siding.
As Matt has already pointed out, the rules relate to how many wagons you can leave in a siding. I did explain this during a similar manoeuvre at 09:25 Thanks for watching 😃
That's a shame. Obviously I can't speak for your own experience but generally if I have a problem I tend to talk to the manufacturer and see if they can offer a solution. Certainly it seems as if the derailing issue is easily fixed. Thanks for watching 😃
That’s a bit hard to say as obviously it fits together in lots of different ways and configurations that change the size. But a general circuit is about 14ftx7ft. Thanks for watching 😃
I do like the inglenook shunting puzzle. It's a great little shunting game to play. The hunslet was certainly the perfect loco for the job

Best Inglenook you have shown. Primrose looks terrific - you did a great job with the upgrade and customisation. Love the detail of the wagons too.
Thanks Nigel, I'm gradually getting better at them and of course it helps to have fantastic models to use too! Thanks for watching 🤩

@@kanehood3478i think i understand what you are saying and if i understand corctly it sounds intresting

Love to see the manor, I’ve decided I’m gonna get another one (Fringford manor) and I can’t wait!
Good choice, they are fabulous models! If it was a shunting engine I would have used it for this video too. Thanks for watching 😃
I tried this challenge on my HO American layout and its a lot of fun! I have a similar yard setup to yours and using the mainline as a 3rd siding.
It's good fun and there are so many combinations you're unlikely to get bored anytime soon. Thanks for watching 😃

I use the Inglenook rules for a shunting demonstration between passenger trains on Wellhouse Road, my fictional heritage railway layout.
Awesome that's cool! I did something similar on Pitley too when we exhibited it. Thanks for watching 😃
Enjoyed that, just ordered my first set of Acurascale wagons the PFA container wagons in -DRS LLNW-NUPAK PACK 3
Awesome, I'm sure you'll be very happy with them! Thanks for watching 😃
That backdrop looks really good on camera! Hope to see the layout in person one day.
Thanks, it does make a big difference to the layout! Thanks for watching 😃
Lots of fun to watch thanks.
GOD BLESS from America
🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😃
I like your layout, very realistic, and thanks for the link. 👍
My pleasure, as you can see it's come a long way since the last one of these videos! Thanks for watching 😃

Very nice! Did anyone notice the puzzled look on those two people on the platform?😂
Probably discussing how they could have done it in fewer movements 😅 Thanks for watching 👍
Don't you technically have 4 wagpns at one siding at 5:00 ?
The rules are that can't have more than 3 wagons left in the siding....having four coupled to the loco is fine, as long as you don't uncouple the loco and leave all 4 in the siding.

Never been so bored in my life watching this. 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴
Then why watch it... and even more bizarrely take the time to let everyone know how you felt. Some people are very strange 😂
That's a shame. Obviously I can't speak for your own experience but generally if I have a problem I tend to talk to the manufacturer and see if they can offer a solution. Certainly it seems as if the derailing issue is easily fixed. Thanks for watching 😃
Lovely video as always, one question. With all the modules together, whats the dimensions of the entire layout
That’s a bit hard to say as obviously it fits together in lots of different ways and configurations that change the size. But a general circuit is about 14ftx7ft. Thanks for watching 😃
Already got a mannor
Awesome! Thanks for watching 😃
You’ve made a mistake imho, you use a brown wagon and three grey wagons on one lead which is not allowed.
I would refer to what I said at 09:25 - the rules relate to how many wagons you leave in a siding. Thanks for watching 😃
