47606odin Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Well, as I have completed my Z scale Christmas layout, and still mulling things over on my Hither Green O gauge layout, I bought a floating shelf from my local hardware superstore I thought I’d use it to make a OO layout. now I’m a bit of a special type of person who looks through 1000’s of photos of prototype things and see detail that looks wrong in OO, mainly due to the track gauge. And for this reason, as well as issues with coupler droop etc meant I threw in the towel and left OO. however, being a shopaholic, and keep looking at stuff I like, I sort of went a bit nostalgic. From my youth I have the first loco I ever purchased new. A GWR pannier from Hornby in Gloss black. This was before I saw sense and went southern lol, anyway, with this, and a Percy I thought well, I could build something to play with, old school, so DC a few sidings, and with good old fashioned couplings which don’t droop and will line up. So I have bought 10 old mainline wagons for my locos to play with. so here is the plan, a DC powered Inglenook layout, with a GWR pannier, or Percy, and some good old code 100 track, manually operated points so the thing will all be robust and pretty much indestructible, and some nice scenic detail, so even if the track isn’t finescale, at least it’ll look nice. i will be videoing the build for YouTube as well as adding photos, all of which will be linked here. so here we go…..let’s play trains rather than be a modeller 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

47606odin Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 I will say, the little clip I’ve been working on today has come out well. I can now get on with the video. It’s been a productive day I”m not sure how much time people realise it takes to create and edit a video. Possibly longer than to build the actual layout, but I enjoy it, to a point. I try not to let it take over, but I hope the end result is worth it 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try not to let it take over, but I hope the end result is worth it I was once asked to film myself creating of various parts for a song backing, so that a short documentary could be made of the process, from the perspectives of those taking part... The song was 3:40 long... my edited footage for the documentary was nearly 2 hours (so much for "short"). And yes - the filming and editing takes way longer than the actual doing! 😉 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first time I’ve created a short animation to include in the video. It’ll all become clear hopefully in the video Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
