richard w Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Just spent this afternoon and evening on my back sorting out a warped baseboard! It wasn't very serious, but it had created two small humps in the track. Everything is nice and level now... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryMeerkat Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Hi Richard, Just a quick note to say thanks for making the videos on youtube. It was watching some of your earlier vids that made me decide I wanted a model railway again after over a decade away, and I still use your channel as a reference point when I'm planning something. Great work on the layout, it looks fantastic and is a real inspiration for many people. Thanks, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted August 11, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 11, 2014 Yes I have to say your instructional youtube videos are very good Richard, particularly the one on ballasting. But I also just love watching the trains go by on your videos, particularly the HST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard w Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Thanks for all the kind comments guys! It really is appreciated. I uploaded another layout update last night. Most of it is about the leveling of the baseboard and some future plans. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted August 15, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 15, 2014 Thanks Richard . Another great update told in a very easy manner. Great layout and some really smooth running trains. Must get some Goo Gone. Looking forward to seeing what you going to do with the Woodland Scenics stuff. Just one query on the river scene. Where does the river go? It goes under the bridge, but the other side seems to have your newly constructed embankment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes under the bridge, but the other side seems to have your newly constructed embankment. I'm still playing with ideas at the moment. The river may actually be a canal, bog or outlet pipe coming from a tunnel that goes under the running lines and background scenery. If I do decide to go for a river the background scenery will be changed to justify its existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manc_tech Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Another great update, Richard. :thumbup: Been an avid fan of your videos on YT for some time now, and having spotted your thread here have signed up to ask a couple of questions. What are the approximate dimensions of your layout? I'm looking to do my first layout, and your double-deck, twin-helix idea seems ideal, but I can never work out how much space yours is taking up in total! And have you considered/do you plan to wire up your signals to allow realistic block separation? Being in the industry it's something I'd want and I see Lenz do modules that allow it.

P.C.M Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Hi Richard, The latest vid showing your class 56s is great, they are a top model. I am glad you managed to sort out the warped boards too it would certainly give me the sh1ts. Just a thought on the river section and what legend mentioned. It might look better if the new bit of enbankment was removed and some more bridge sections added say 10mm in from the backscene. Cheers Peter.

Jintyman Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Great video Richard, as are all of them. As for the river scene, you could just have a stream, a trickle, from a couple of outlet pipes the other side of the bridge, plenty of greenery in the basin, but the basin being there for a purpose, that is, to accommodate any heavy discharge of water, ie: from a lake/power station further up the mountain, etc. Just an idea!!! Keep up the great work, and easy listening commentary. Jinty ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
