I noticed more gauges appeared at Perth his year (not obvious in the video).

Yes, some new modelling clubs and themes at the show this year.

@@itloon ive missed your videos

Hi David. First week I've been home since August/September - doing a bit of Powerdirector catch up - back to my dad's tomorrow for a week to catch up, e.g. shopping. If I help, he can now get to loft, so looking forward to using layout, and make the first 2020 running session - I know you can't wait LOL. Alan.

@@itloon brum as in Birmingham

@@AdiPullen Lol Yes, I'll need to put road works there when it comes to Summer holiday traffic. :) Keep well. Alan.

Hi Fred. I should have a carboot sale with the excess stuff, trust my luck they're in lockdown............. My dad's well enough that I can have a week's stay at my house. I had some running sessions I never got the chance to edit last year, so what better to do in a lockdown? Keep clear, and keep well. Alan.

You're right, wind/rain, doom and gloom, you can always turn to the layout. Take care, Alan.

Hi Peter. Fully agree - can be a worthwhile distraction. Due to family illness, I've been away from modelling for over six months - this was the last session I got. However, things are improving, - I should have labelled this an old new session :). Keep well, Alan.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Alan.

Thanks Peter - using Premiere Pro video editor instead of PowerDirector. Clearer but more complicated, so it's learning and practice. One of these days I'll know what I'm doing....Alan.

Hi Dave. Premiere Pro is another Video Editor, like PowerDirector. Premier Pro is more exact, clearer. But, my using 3 different cameras, it adjusts fps and my crops deteriorate - PowerDirector is better - apart from 4K, Mobius is handled better. I'll keep experimenting. Powerdirector - you now have to renew every year now, so I am going back to PowerDirector 16, where the licence you bought was forever. These companies are chancers. (I think you are on PD14 - virtually as PD 16, which now takes in 3D - waste of time. Cropping is quicker in PD16 - not worth buying a new licence for though). Alan.

itloon Don’t think I shall go from 14 Alan , it’s all getting a bit pricey and complicated , but if you have to renew after 12 months with the new PD , no defiantly not for me .. I do use occasionally my movie maker on the iMac , it’s not bad , just not as good for editing out with sounds , that premier pro though is clear ... not bothered with 4 k these days 1080 is almost as good .. Dave

@@howarth004 I don't like this new forced renewal every year - Adobe did this 6 years ago with Premiere - my version is about 2012/2013 (before this forced annual payment version began), and like PD 14 - 16, does me fine. 1080/4K - until YT improve, unless you have 20/20 vision, no difference. That video was done at 4K, at 8am it was 2K - just now, it is 720p. Even at 720p it seems fine. (have never understood why YT changes). Alan.

@@itloon As bad as here , depends on the internet strength ...been crap lately , my mobile phone internet works better away from my modem , its nearly twice as fast as when using my internet ...

itloon 👍🏼got to try these things , wireless is a good move forward

Hi Peter. The wireless camera works (handy when out of sight in the loft). Fish-eye can be corrected with software but the sound of the wagon it is being transported on is overwhelming. Pleased overall. Alan.

Hi Dave. Previously, the wheels were Bachmann 12.6 - the Hornby 14 has made a difference to the articulated (had considered replacing the Poundstretcher with Howarthe transfers earlier, but you might claim copyright lol). There was a combined road rail system at the start of my Perth Model Display 2017 video. Its well done, and not a distraction from the trains, which our road is just now. Taken some of your tips, one being the Edding white line marker, (hope we can do as good a job) but I like that foliage fencing. (bit pricey at £10 for about 2-3 ft). More decisions to be made than Brexit lol.

Hi Fred. ????Yes, £1. I bought a Hornby 0-6-0 chassis, took out the innards of the Poundland truck. For the cab, I took off the Poundland plastic wheels, and put on 12.6mm Hornby. Not happy, so might try 14.1mm. Just mucking about. Alan.

itloon ....fun is what it’s all about Alan ..... 👌

Yes - new logistical system should solve a few - delivered 2 minutes after posting lol. Layout is like a bomb has hit it just now - bit depressing. 1st (2nd?) grass cut yesterday -then snow today - talk about weird weather. Alan.

@@itloon just had a snow flurry here at 1 pm .......should not cut grass this time of year Alan ..

@@howarth004 That warm weather had made it grow as much, I couldn't leave it. Normally May start. Maybe they're right - global warming.

@@itloon I blame Brexit !!

@@howarth004 LOL

Hi Mark. You're a mindreader :) - hoping to try this in future. Meantime, still experimenting on the £1 lorries. Alan.

That's a 10 4 Fred lol That track was from the 70's - (seemed natural to have a road at the time - no we were not smoking dope :) ) Hope you are well. Alan.

Thanks Laurie - It's a novelty just beginning, but will still try to make it respectable eventually. Distribution will not be ready for Brexit shortages some worry about lol.Alan.

Hi Adi. The fault is now on video, but they did ask me to put it on KZbin. I know the difference the turning makes when spreading the heat. I've checked the manufacturer - its not Hornby lol Alan.

Hi Dave. The heater is very simple to use - no menus etc. Contacted seller, they wanted video of Turn button. Then they wanted video of + button on KZbin. This video shows the lot. Have contacted Paypal. Was abou £70 - not just £20 as you might think. We'll see. Alan.

itloon want ya money back

That's what I expect, either voluntarily or imposed by Paypal.

Hi Fred. BR landrover driver - resident stuntman - had to cut his body off to get him in the car, but he's OK :) Backing track - glad you liked it - I hoped it wouldn't be too long. Thanks for your humouros comments again. Alan.

Hi Adi. Thought you'd find the short Land Rover scene at the middle and end interesting. (this was the progress from the small thing a few weeks ago). As ever, I'm grateful for your interest. Alan. (note : I know your opinion of sheds, so thanks for putting up with them :) )

Hi Peter. I should use the lighting more (excluding Xmas lighting) - I'd forgotten which buildings I'd lit lol Thanks for your comments again. Alan.

Hi Simon. Hope you, your family and of course your African Greys had a good Christmas with best wishes for the New Year. Alan.

Merry Xmas Dave and Deborah. That was a small motor bogey. That is a road going full circumference - originally (40 years ago), we thought about a road. I'm going to try and make a small, light lorry, maybe two, to go round. Pipe dream :) I suppose on a phone, it will look like a mouse whizzing round lol. Alan.
