It sucks when you go to the bog and sound like a Class 37 starting up

Great tutorial. Thank-you...

Great video thanks for sharing, John

Good to see a video from you again. Look forward to the continued 31 saga in due course! Best wishes from a retired S&T man.

You make a good point regarding stay alive! 🤔 Perhaps there’s an automated gizmo that tells the engine to stop, rather than cutting power to make it do so? The technology certainly exists within those shuttle units you see used on end to ends… I think Everard Junction did a video on one?

You need your own Regional Control, with AOMs to keep that all moving! Top stuff!

Good to see you back, this was interesting 👍 explanation vid 👍

absolutely amazing.... I am in awe...

Enjoyed watching this, as I do with all of your videos. Your storage sidings are really well thought out, and love the control panel. Looking forward for more, take care. Caz

While watching this great episode I realised a shortcoming in my layout control plan, specifically that a "stay-a-live" powered engine will not recognise a dead section of track, which was intended to act as a fail safe against a detection error. Well back to the drawing board. Best regards

Good evening Mr train man 😃 Really enjoyed the technical aspects of the dead sections in the (fiddle yard) storage sidings 👍🏻

Wow, nigel, those storage sidings are so complicated. Ive modified mine since the hornby mag article. I now have 10 but ive added crossovers so trains can now reverse in them

A daytime journey is more interesting or at least it was 30 odd years ago - the last time I did it!

Just starting to design my first layout. Learned heaps. Thank you

Brilliant!

Amazing video mate! Was lovely to meet you at King’s Cross yesterday!

Hello Mate, I love your honest how-to videos, you give me belief when I build my own! The decapod might look good in improved engine green!

Mowing the Lawn With a circular saw,,,,,, Kinky!

that chassis looks like an ideal candidate for 3D printing

Thanks so much for sharing your weathering techniques with us.

Thanks for sharing this video, great J

Great video thanks for sharing it.

Great upgrade 👍

Out of interest, what are the measurements? I feel my one was in the wrong bag, it seems tiny, like N gauge size? Any pointers on doing the lighting? Thought that looked great 👍 shame they don't have any moulds for different types, missing a trick if you ask me.

Amazing ! Thanks !!

You will now have to weather that class 56 like your class 31 shown on your display. Excellent looking model.

Sounded like a hard working steam loco' on the way back.

Your video was very inspiring and informative.

Most model train manufacturers should wise up start and making model train chassis from plastic.

The Ex Yugoslavian company MEHANO was on to something when they made their model train chassis from plastic instead of Zinc which is prone to ''Zinc pest'' or ''Zinc rot'' They were doing it right, Those chassis you made for your own trains look so professionally made as though it came from the factory.

Great ride. Now back to modelling. 🤓👍🚂🚃🚃

Sounds like there's a flat tyre on your unit

Great vid! Say, hate to nag but will there be a new part for the Decapod series anytime soon? Your build videos are incredibly entertaining and relaxing, I love the process and commentary spliced with the small bits of history - coupling that with something unusual like the Decapod loco just makes it even better, keep up the great videos - Cheers.

Thanks for the ride Mr train Man 👍🏻

Great train ride, awesome video! Thumbs Up All the best from Romania Andrew

Great video of a very nice train, such a shame that the Network Rail livery Dapol model is an exclusive model via Olivia Trains, the amount of negative reviews of the class 73 have put me off buying one, I wish another manufacturer would take it on and do it some justice, thanks for sharing.

There are some lovely kinks on the real railway. I spotted some on the platforms facing Scarborough at York.

David Jenkinson, in a Railway Modeller from the late 1980s/early 1990s, but it simply. If a vehicle derails anywhere, check the vehicle. If vehicles derail at a specific location, check the track. If rando, check everything. Badly painted track can cause gauge narrowing. Been there, done that. Fortunately, it wasn't close to the outside edge and easy to remedy.

Brilliant, I love your videos. Where do you get you lead weights?

Very nice job I got a dapol br Lowmac wagon kits what bearings size do I need? And when where I can’t get them from?

I wish my hands were that steady… cracking job! Thank you!

Thanks for sharing this video, J

Interesting👍

Interesting that you recommend 2mm cork with track code 100. I think the 2mm available is in sheets rather than cork strips of 3mm found in model shops.

Not x kitmaster aAirfix😊

Loving these videos. Have a few 31's myself that need the chassis rebuild. Do you cover adding the lighting?

How many, if any of the class 31's made it into large logo blue livery?

Nothing beats subject knowledge, something often overlooked these days. Great episode, thanks for sharing

I look forward to you doing a Heljan vs EFE comparison of these, as I'm undecided which to go for ATM!

I'd say you should drop your laptop more often but once is probably enough. Keep up the good work.
