Un très beau diesel britannique. Superbe. 👍😉

I always look out for the Caledonian Sleeper carriages when we pass these on the Acle straight.

Parabéns pelo belo vídeo . Brinquedo de gente grande.

I really want to know where this Gauge 1 Model Railway is I really want to see it in person

Hi, I see you have a Youchoos speaker in there, can you recall the size of the speaker height wise please.

The best grandfather 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Great stuff just building the brick style one.

Totalt lækkert 🏁❤️🏁❤️🇩🇰

A family sharing a hobby. I commend you all for setting a great example as to how things should go. Thank you..

Magnificent diesel report Simon and you too Micheal. One of the class 20 diesels had an interesting number, 20 007. The numbers at the end represents the same number that famous British agent James Bond carries. The combination of HST power cars was interesting to see because it's rare to see them coupled together like this. It's amazing that one distraction can take the attention away from the trains so easily, it seems that the artwork in the station was too much to resist, and the class 57 diesel caught you unawares! Whoops! Ah well, at least you got to see the same train the next day. Also, the class 66 diesels top and tailing on a freight train, that was awesome, and the horn shows that some of the drivers gave you was wonderful to listen to. It's my birthday on Thursday and to celebrate, I'll be going to Tasmania which is Australia's only Island state and I'm going to the Don River Railway near Devonport to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its establishment, there is going to be a selection of guest locomotives going to visit and it is one of the biggest railway gatherings in Tasmanian history, I'm really excited! Anyway, how are things getting on? Keep up the great diesel updates, because it's always absolutely brilliant especially with the excitement of seeing them pass. Take care Simon and Micheal keep your steam up Kevig

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉

Another brilliant diesel report. Thanks Simon.

You’ve seen some beautiful diesels

Beatiuful video diésel trains. Suscribe to channel ,greetings from Asturias 👍🛤️🚂

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Guten Morgen aus Deutschland. Eine tolle Bahn habt Ihr - echt schön !!! Und Nachwuchs - Lokführer habt Ihr auch ( die Zukunft ist gesichert) 👍🏻🙂😃. Eine Gartenanlage ist genial. Weiterhin viel Spaß und viele Grüße aus Lübeck, Germany , Torsten

Thanks Simon for the information

Hi Simon could you please let me know where you got the motor from thanks Mick

Train-tastic video of the Marlowe, Maidenhead and district model railway club winter exhibition Simon. I especially loved the upside-down model railway, that made me laugh because it is a very funny concept. How did the people making that layout manage to keep the trains in one place without falling down? All the other layouts were great to see, the Whitmoor layout in N scale was particularly interesting because they had Tomix Thomas and Friends models which is pretty hard to find in Australian model railway shops. Which layout did you enjoy the most? Keep your steam up Simon and you too Micheal. take care. Kevig

Great work looks spot on

Hi, A nice loco that. I keep looking at getting one of those class 17's myself............I did like the sounds very much, especially when the loco pulls away from a stop....................Going to look at your video of the real thing now to compare the sounds...............Thanks for a great video, all the very best Dave.

Lovely job :-)

I like that train set I got Hornby train set but your set is better than mine

You might want to file down the ends of the stationary rails to give smoother transition from it to them, as they're a tad taller rail, as I'm sure you know...Your weathering technique is very good.. Don't know if ya need the 'bricks' as it could all just be 'concrete'..But maybe it's a common British look..I'm a Yank. You've got some beautiful locos and a very nice looking layout.. Don't mess it up with those paper backgrounds where the 2D building pic's vanishing points on it don't move as we move past them..That's a pet peeve of mine that I see on too many otherwise excellent MRRs. I did inquire about 'indexing'/lining up the TT. But I deleted that part of this post due to seeing your answer to @flashpoint8909, below.

Beatties glue !! Cripes !

had an N gauge one of these, and will be getting an OO one, that motor kit looks perfect. the only comment to add is when you put the well into the layout keep in mind where the deck crosses the slight dead space on the split ring, make sure thats at an angle you will never want track on as it creates a small dead spot and can potentially short out on the N gauge one looks lovely installed and shows you don't need a fancy indexing disc etc, just drive manually

Nicely done. May I ask, is your Locomotech motor the standard or deluxe version as I believe they have different gearboxes?

You do the lining up of the rails by sight ?

Good stuff. I've got one of these in stock and this is the pointed stick to prod me into action. Could do without the music though...

How do you manage to stop it precisely lined up? great job

Nice work…….glad to see I’m not the only one still using Beaties poly cement, Can’t see there modern stuff still being useable 30 plus years down the line

I have a Peco Turntable which will go in front of a 6-bay roundhouse with 15-degree spacing controlled by an Arduino with Uno 3 Boards. The only thing is I have not made the baseboard yet. I will only have DC control. Thanks for sharing this video. Martin. (Thailand)

As far as your brick seam, you may not like this but, lay your strips end to end and cut out every other brick so they interlock as actual bricks. Remembering that your last strip has to interlock with your first strip. Great work from USA. Ralph

Ive done one of these and would recommend boring out the centre spindle and fitting a metal one with a t top, id also say its well worth buying sealed roller bearings and boring out and fitting them- mooves freer and will probably never wear out then.

WEATHERING POWDERS: How do you hold it in place, do you spray it with a matt varnish?

Can you supply the code numbers for each of the Vallejo paints you have used

Nice exolanation, and good job. It just needs a few weeds and puddles!

Great installation! A few years ago I used the EXPO motorising kit for the Peco turntable that came with no support structure for the motor and gearbox underneath the well which the user has to create. It is also quite noisy in operation. Your Locomotech system seems like a better option.

Train-tastic progress on the turntable Simon and you too Michael. It's interesting how you used gorilla super glue to stick the pieces together. It was pretty funny how the hammer 🔨 came onto the scene. It must've been very tricky putting the motor into place. But in the end you made it! Now your train shed has a working turntable for the tender engines to turn round because as we've seen through Thomas the tank engine it is dangerous for tender engines to run fast tender first whereas tank engines don't need them as they can go in both directions without derailing. At the Newport railway workshops which is the headquarters of Steamrail Victoria they have a hand operated turntable and it requires a team of volunteers to turn the engine round, I've seen this practice demonstrated during their biannual open day. Very cool operation. How are things getting on by the way? Did you hear about rail200? Take care Simon and you too Michael. Keep your steam up. Kevig

अच्छा दीखाया भाई धन्यवाद जी 🙏🇮🇳🙏🌹👌

Absolutely your grandpa has to be like him.

Train tastic gala Simon, when there is a steam gala in town everyone comes to see them. What a start to 2025! Even though this video was made last year. A pity that on the first day that Dinmore Mannor derailed. This incident reminds me of when 46521 derailed on trap points at a gala on the great central railway in Loughborough. But at least the team managed to make the best of their situation and they were able to put it back on the rails in no time. You were a very lucky duck when the driver put his driving hat on your head and went into the cab of the class 03 diesel shunter and toot the horn. I heard recently that the rail 200 celebrations have started with a bang with engines from all over the UK blowing their whistles and horns to begin the celebration. And by crikey what a show they put on. I also heard some sad news recently, because Britt Allcroft the woman who brought Thomas and Friends to life on the small screen, has passed away. Though it is upsetting, we wouldn't be the people who we are today if it wasn't for Britt's efforts to bring the Rev W Awdry's creations to the world. I'm looking forward to seeing your review on the gwr Mannor class in oo scale. Take care Simon and Michael Keep your steam up Kevig

Hi, what a nice place! What scale of train is that? I want to buy one of that size. Thanks for the video.

Merry Christmas. Best wishes and may you both enjoy your modelling for many years to come.

Merry Christmas Simon, What a lovely present, a class 47 diesel in intercity livery, now you have a complete intercity train from the 1990s with mark 3 coaches and all. For changing from DC to DCC, I saw that it's actually pretty easy with a newer locomotive but for older locomotives it's a lot harder! But I will learn. I hope you enjoy running this beautiful locomotive on your model railway and cherish it for many years to come. Merry Christmas everyone, and I wish you a happy new year. Keep your steam up. Kevig

Nice to see kids not playing with a game on tv or smartphone . Very nice trains and track . A lot of time and effort spend on the layout . But nothing tops the teaching and learning for both young and old . Well done Mr Grandad

Cool video!

Cool!

Now that traverser is one idea that I am going to steal lol... well done chaps
