How did you go about the planning process? Did you use a computer program to model it? If so which one… If not, what sources did you learn on, or whose ear did you bend?

Nice video I have a dcc concepts Circuit Breaker and it is fantastic . Dcc Concepts make great products Happy New Year

I like the wiring setup . Im planning my railway and i planning a stationary layout but Im using hings to gett acess to the wiring.

so the controller is also the power supply or do I need a separate supply

Great video Mark. Thank you

Hi mark , been trying to find this exact solder , were did you get it from ? Great video as normal best wishes Chris

I only got my first dcc controller before xmas.im really clueless about the wiring.very informative and answered alot of questions

Fantastic Mark you make it seem so easy, it’s going to be fantastic

We are thinking calling up to visit, is there any day or time in particular you would like us to call. We will be coming on the bus to the Abbey Hotel.

Mark, Happy New Year, thankyou for your channel update, and for the overall look at your layout which is really going to be impressive with the different levels etc.

£26 for three led’s ? That’s a horrific price, you must be loaded Mark🤣

Looks great Mark, love the different levels. All the best for 2025 from Jon.

I’ve just spent £109 on points 😮

Hi Mark, great video as usual. Sorry, I'm late to this one, as I'm going through all your videseo one by one!! Would you by any chance have a link to the items you used? Especially the pin hole light. Thanks.

Hi Mark. Thanks for the general update. It was good to see a quick overview of the layout as well. All the best. Mark.

Exciting developments! Happy New Year!

To the new people if you see someone on Donegal Dad Rail Livestream making bad puns.... that would be me lol Seriously great update and looking forward to the progress of the layout. Also didn't knew that GNRI served County Donegal

Nice overview Mark. Hope you had a good Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and the Donegal family cheers Andy

Hello Mark I hope you had a great Christmas. Great progress layout looking good. Happy New Year Deano

Wish I had the space! Any tips for a compact oo layout?

This is the most useful explanation of DCC on the internet! Thank you so much for this!

I found the evidence. U broke Gordon. Saw his body underneath the main line. Tsk tsk. Lol. Anyway great video and update. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Happy new year to you and yours👍🏻👍🏻

I hope that the wild weather so far this winter has done no damage to the Heritage Centre. Interesting to watch the money being spent on the railway to Foynes and at the same time on the Adare ByPass. It looks as though the preserved railway movement in the UK has passed its zenith. Thanks for the Christmas Greetings.TC

Brilliant

A great view of the layout in toto and grand update! Nice to see it is progressing with so much going on over there!

As said previously, that is going to be some build Mark, looking forward to watching the progress

Cracking layout, can't wait to see it develop

Very nice, you must be excited to start a significantly larger layout in your home! Looking forward to following your progress!

That really is an impressive layout Mark. I hope you had a nice Christmas with the family. Ian

Is the museum far from the bus stop at the Abbey Hotel ?

Nice to see someone else servicing this historical brand's locomotives, hope to see them running too. The Deltic has a Ringfield motor, the first ever incarnation as designed by electrical engineer Ronald Wyburn of Meccano Ltd. There is a top bearing oiling point on the motor unit and I also apply a tiny amount oil the bottom of the armature. Sometimes the magnet itself can depolarise and the armature itself can fail due to being wound around a plastic core which can break down, but yours sounds fine.

Hi Mark. Nice one anything to get the youngsters involved with the hobby. Have a fantastic new year 🍾🍾 Thumbs up thumped 👍 ....Pete...

Im planning to start a new 009 layout shortly. Ive been watching your electrofrog points focused videos religously for days bc you have the clearest tutorials. Thanks a bunch!

You missed a glue spot, left hand front of screen.

Enjoyable video, always good, sound advice that's delivered well, thank you.

Thanks for your great videos.

What a great video to help take those first steps when getting a train set for Christmas. Merry Xmas :)

Merry Christmas, Mark to you and your family 🎅🌲🎁

Merry Christmas Mark to you and your family

Happy Christmas Mark. All the best, Jon.

Wet water? What happens if you use dry water 🤔
