richard w Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 New vid is ready. Took a long time to put this one together . Focuses mostly on how I laid the track and includes a 10 min running session at the end. In the running session you'll notice some bits and pieces could do with being a bit smoother. I've rectified most of those over the last week. Still have a few more to solve but most of the collection is running quite happily now. The adjustments made will be covered in a future video. Cheers 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard w Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) Not a huge amount of progress on the layout since the last video due to it just being far too hot in the loft. I was impressed how well the insulation kept the heat out for the first few days but obviously it did eventually warm the loft up. Luckily no damage has occurred to the layout and everything including the back scenes is holding up well. I've managed to film a review of Dapol class 121 for those who are interested. Hopefully the temperatures will stay cooler for the rest of the summer. Should allow me to get cracking on the roads and base level scenery.

D9JEF Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Richard, The DMU coming through the super-elevated reverse curves at 37:25 is tremendous. Can't wait to see this same view when ballasted and scenery added. Thanks for sharing. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacathedrale Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Hi Richard, Eagerly awaiting whatever next installment comes. I'm really impressed with your videography too - I don't know if it's the combination of lenses, filters, equipment or technique but you do really well to make the miniatures look lifesize. Any tips?

richard w Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 Been a bit delayed on the layout recently. The last few months at work have been especially busy, but more importantly I've been having trouble getting the last few bits to complete the road system ordered. The manufacturers website has been down for maintenance for some time and I've been unable to find a UK stockist or over seas seller who has stock. Luckily today I've found one of the Dutch stockists has some so I've placed an order. I wont go into detail about what it is yet as I'd like to save that for the video concerning it. However I have included a shot of it working in the running video so you'll probably be able to work out what it is anyway! 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongRail Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Richard moving cars are the one thing I would have liked to include on my layout but didn't allow for vehicles turning around when I built it what sort of radius do they need to turn? Are they HO vehicles or have you motorised 00 gauge models Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackB95 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Always nice to see a video of yours Richard. Been following your videos for a while now. Glad you've managed to get hold of someone and put an order in. Very much looking forward to the next major update. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew-1986 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Richard, Great content as always. After your trip to Hattons and seeing their new Class 66, have your thoughts on DCC sound change at all seeing potentially where the market might be going? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard w Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 My main issue with dcc sound was how tinny many of them sounded. Things have improved a lot over the last few years and I was particularly impressed with the quality of the sound on the Hattons 66. Personally I still prefer just to have the odd one or two sound locos as running multiple sound locos together doesn't really do anything for me. For those who haven't seen the latest video here it is. I had a really enjoyable week at Hattons and Warley. Also took delivery of some long awaited Mk2fs. Very pleased with them and even more pleased to finally have a rake for the swallow 47 which was bought specifically to haul this train. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMcKenzie Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Hi Richard, Great layout. The picture of 47474 at speed is brilliant and the new intercity rake looks like a great new addition. Thanks for all the posts and videos, it's a great layout to follow. All the best Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
