Love it great session 👏

Hi Steven, cracking running session, thanks for sharing. Chris

An enjoyable running session...cheers James 🙂👍

Very enjoyable running session 😊 cheers Euan

That has to be the best n gauge layout I've seen I love everything about it absolutely amazing I love the station very elegant you have given me some ideas for how to build my n gauge layout thank you 😊😊

Nice little tour of your layout...cheers James 🙂👍

I really like your layout. Modern with enough historical things. Ian

Looking great, very typical of a main street today.

Excellent ! 😊

Awesome

Fabulous platforms!

Nice video... I've found that for the final finish on the surface if you remove all the filler from your scraper then clean it in water, then just let the filler dry a tad then dip your scraper in water then drag it over the filler at a low angle it will make a smoother surface, you just need to keep cleaning the scraper in water, a lot like how a plasterer plasters a wall. If you do it like you did i find that you keep pulling the filler up that you've just put down.

Looks fantastic

The new platform looks good!

Looks so much better. You must be pleased with the results. 👍🤗

Nice upgrade, well worth the effort. Chris

That's made a big improvement. The platforms are looking great now ... Cheers James 🙂👍

Excellent bit of platform renewal - they do look far superior to what you had before😊 cheers Euan

That's a very impressive layout 👏

Looks great, so much neater than before

Cool

That looks superb, fantastic slow running i like the lights which my class 14 DCC sound does not have.

Nice wee shunter 😊

Nice running session with plenty of action... Cheers James 🙂👍

Very enjoyable running session. 👍

Great video

kzbin.info/www/bejne/foSlfoiAaNOXbKMsi=Z9-2ihB78F-eRY92 Here’s an example of his work. Lots of inspiration and ideas 😊 Please don’t think I’m negative about your work!! It’s brilliant ! I need to knuckle down on mine ! Ian

Hi , nice video and great advice😊👍🏼 I’ve been builddioramzs for a number of years but I’m new to railway modelling. I was surprised to see how you clean the tracks after laying down the product. I’ve been racking my brain trying to come up with a solution so I’ve taken courage from you! I’m also an N Gauge modeller 😊 Can I give you some ideas? Any of these pre-prepared products need diluted. They say ready to use but every one of them that I’ve used need diluted. 90% of them just need water thankfully 😊 Secondly, I felt your pain sanding everything down. I had to do this on a diorama that I’d nearly finished for a museum. Nothing was taking it down. I was ready to start again when my father came to visit me (I live in France). He is a railway modeller of 70 years. He saw my struggle and said « Why not build the surface up with plaster of Paris with white glue and water mixed? ». It bloody worked! Weathering, I use artists chalks from the local pound shop or ‘The Works’ type of place, scrape them down with a knife and apply them with an old brush. Old charcoal powder from the BBQ is good too. I’ve even used the pure carbon toothpaste powder too 😁 Oil paints are great for eating shades but a little more complicated to explain but the principle can be quite easy. The one thing I suggest investing in is a battery operated airbrush. You can pick them up for around £30 on Amazon. Smashing for lightly shading larger ground space like your concrete 😊 I’ll try to link you to an Armour Modeller called Nightshift here on KZbin. He is really at the top of his trade, a true artist, but explains everything so well. You have a lovely layout and I wish my layout was as near to what you have! All the best, Ian

The space where you asked for suggestions? I can see and old dilapidated house or building with trees or bushes growing through it. With structural support and protective fencing? It’d be a project in its own right😊 You have a lovely layout 😊 Ian

Love this layout. Can I just ask what dimensions your layout is please. 😊

You could do an island with a vehicle under pass and 2 to 6 walking under passes, depending on how many roads you have going to the island. Think of the islands in Birmingham city centre and a like. If you do do the platforms, they look a bit high to me at the moment, but every person has a different idea, so don't take it as a criticism, please.

Hi Steven, we all have times when we can't get anything done and time passes by quicker than we realise. It was a nice running session, though ... Cheers James 🙂👍

Nice

Ahahaha typical

Cool stuff man! What camera are you using to film? I've never seen n gauge recorded as clear as you've captured it at 6:38

Hi Steven, have recently subscribed to your channel and think your layout and videos are really interesting to watch, have picked up many ideas from them. I am interested in the canal and surrounding area, and if you do not mind would you let me know where the lock was bought and what makes of tree you bought or did you make them? Have just recently finished laying track/wiring etc on my first layout, and am thinking of adding a canal/lock with some greenery to add some scenic interest, kind regards Joe

Hi Steven, thanks for the info will see how mine go. Its a shame we have to modify our wagons just to get them running on the curves.

Hi Steven, have recently subscribed to your channel, and do enjoy the way you show how you do what you do. Particularly like the canal and surrounding area, would you be able to let me know whose make of lock you use and where you purchased the trees around the lock. I have just completed my track laying on my first layout and looking to add some scenic interest. Kind regards Joe

Hi, it’s Ian from the forum 😊 Lovely layout there, I’m sure I’ll pick up tips and ideas from you. What paint did you use for the road surface? Nice colour. Ta 😊

Why not put a background of sidings then it would add to the layout?

They say that necessity is the mother of invention and once again you have risen to the challenge showing us how easy it is to fix the annoying item on our layouts. Thank you for showing us your growing layout and all the detail your adding.🌺🌺👍👍

I prefer mixed freight being pulled by a steamy, matching rake with a diesel. Something just looks a bit odd!

We had a good day at Doncaster. It looks like you've picked up a few nice little and detailing things. We also picked up a few bits and pieces from various traders to add more detail to Dylington. It's surprising what a different it makes to the overall look of the layout....cheers James 🙂👍

Glad to see that I am not on my own. Life is so busy that sometimes people forget the simplest things such as eating and food especially when they are engrossed in something they love or something that has a deadline that cannot be missed. Learn to slow down and enjoy yourself at your own pace and nobody else’s.🌺🤪🤪

Couldn't you have maybe used a packing washer between the body and bogie.

I like mixed freight , many businesses getting supplied , more freight on the rails . Good for the story of your railway

looking good

Hello, I'm very impressed with your layout, can you tell me please what pens you use for the road marking, many thanks George

I love this layout, nice running session, could I suggest that the running video length be 10 minutes and this video would create two videos for you. This will allow you greater content and keep viewers' attention better
