Excellent Brian. Thanks. I was expecting to see ZZ Tops playing at the end there... and those couplings aren't a patch on yours mate 👍

it sounds like an actual diesel engine maybe you could get a patent 🤔

15:48 guard with the flag. May i enquire where abouts you got that one. One of the best posed guards I may have ever seen. I always feel living in Australia and modelling UK rail is not quite as easy as it would be if we were in merry ol England but like they say the juice is worth the squeeze and it all does pay off. So back to happy wife happy life and maybe I will get another hour before Christmas to noodle with the trains in the meantime you are a welcome refreshment.

Imsulfrog points?

Great way to make trees for any diorama 😊

Great stuff Gormo. 😀😀

Great video Gormo. Really enjoyed the views of rock faces

Thanks for posting that Gormo! 👍 Was it a hot day as it sounded like it from all the noisy bugs 😅

Gormo. Thanks for sharing. What a beautifully preserved locomotive. Pete.

👌👍👍👍

Good stuff. Thanks.

Amazing video and railway Gormo👍😊

Wonderful video. Kept loosing track which end was what. I shall just have to watch it again. Such scenery.

great share thanks for the great vlogs keep up the great vlogs thanks lee

Seeing the Blue Mountains brought out some good memories. I remember shortly after my divorce, doing a bit of a travel around and hiking in them, up to the Three Sister's?, if my memory serves me right. I didn't get to go on the Zig Zag that time, but if I ever get the chance again, I'll do so, Ineed to save up some money has it's a long way from England. It was interesting to see the two tank locomotives and the Bayer Peacock in the yard, are they going to restore them? One railway I did visit was the old Gang before it was recommissioned. Thanks for sharing Gormo.

Thanks for sharing. Cheers 👍🤓

Has anyone done the a frayed knot joke yet?

Hey Gormo. Would it be much of a ball ache to pop a small motor in the windmill? 🤔 Great video as per usual mate 👍

Great video and thanks Gormo. I have already made mine from brass knowing full well at some time they will be knocked. Your idea is actually brilliant to have a " bendy" signal post. The attaching of the leds to the lolipop stick was also very cool. I am off to Spotlight in a mo to get all the bits. Bin the brass ones. I have had a lot of bother with them.

Excellent work. I’m thinking, can I adapt your brainwave couplings to n gauge. 🤔

Love my Limas.

Looks good. Those magnetics make it simple.

Great design seems to emerge from clarity of thought, i get that impression from much of your ideas and solutions you have brought to you tube over the years, you always seem to inspire some new thinking on how to solve many common problems that us modellers come up against on a regular basis but may i add in my view i you are consistantly practical in with your ideas. Which provides a lot of food for thought which i find is qiute a challenge to improve or rather in my case tweek this or that a little to own my personal taste, but all the hard work was quite rightly down to your sound and well thought design. Thank you Gormo once again for your wonderful ideas inspirational designs.

¡Hola buenas tardes Gormo! I’ve been anxious to see the shunter’s pole and, armed with this video, I’m going to attempt a 3D printed version. Credit will of course be given when I eventually feature it in any of my own layout update videos. Un saludo. Gary

Very clever stuff. Well done Gormo.

Every system has it's pro and con's. And this is my personal opinion, but if it work for you, that's what matters in the end. The pro's here: -cheap way to make your own coupling system -so much better than chain fishing to couple or uncouple -always works where ever you wish to use it on your layout -you can create a universal coupling system The con: -my main issue is don't like the hand of God, as they say, interfering on my layout -a lot of work fitting these coupling if you have a big fleet. -don't like the look of these couplings (again a subjective personal view) There are so many ways to make couplings, but in the end it's a personal choice. But it's good you share your system, there are always people who find this useful. Personally my favorite system is a few magnets in between the sleepers and a staple attached to your Bachmann/Dapol type coupling hook. But also here are pro's and con's Unfortunately all the manufactures have there own system and there is no unified system, and I don't see they ever will come to a uniform solution, even with NEM there is no real strict uniform placement… Anyway as always a great video to look at.

great vid thanks four the vid on channel and keep upo the vlogs thanks lee

Great stuff, good to watch, very de-stressing. 👍

great vlog on channel thanks lee

¡Hola buenas tardes Gormo! What a great way to start a Sunday morning. Watching a lesson in wagon shunting and, sipping coffee - the sun is up and, last night’s welcome downpour has all but dried up! Thanks for posting Gormo. Stay safe and well. Un saludo. Gary

You've got to love that Lima pancake growl 😎

D C and older rolling stock and a wonderful layout 😊 just my thing , All the best Colin from Mossend railway oo.

Sorry i forgot to say among many complimentry things i think your class 03 diesel shunter looks fantastic, you know i think that shunter more impressive that a more powerful 08 diesel shunter personally, i get my hands on one to add to my collection, or is that drewery shunter as they look so close in apperance, never i think yours looks awesome. take care Gormo bye for now. Sorry if i am wrong but i always thought that the name growler belonged to the class diesel ?? but sorry anyway if i have put my foot in it, appologies if i have all the best Gormo.

Looks like your magnetic coulplings work trouble free with the miniumum of fuss, and i think you have achieved that very well indeed, but i suppose thier will always be some purists out there who would like it to be more prototypical in opertaion like wagons, buffering back and forth between actual sprung buffers whilst being pulled along, but i think it must work very well with your rolling stock given the size of your layout and different types of stock. i would guess that you very happy with the way it works for you and it looks great too with too many hands of god hovering over your lovely layout . thank you for your your wonderful ideas and solutions that you have shown us i am very impressed with the looks and opertional challenges, with the work load kept to the minium with a great autocoupling system thats is very practical and satisfying. Thank you Gormo you for all your great ideas and running sessions.

Very therapeutic and picturesque Gormo. Thanks for sharing. Its a marvelous layout youve created👍💜😊 Will you be adding signals to this area eventually 🤔 Also have you a video on your stock and locos and what your favourites are in terms of Eg. prototype, or a detailed or smooth running model? What is your main preferred era etc🤔 Thanks again, M👍😊

Certainly don’t need DCC sound for those locos. I do like the positive connection you get with your magnet couplers. 😂 cheers Peter

Playing with trains is so much fun! Plus, we get to see more of your amazing layout. 😊 Very enjoyable video.

Good video

Brilliant idea and very clear video. Thank you very much for sharing 🙂

can you post the couplings working

Wonderful 🤩👍

Superb!❤. Pete

Very attractive 😊😂🤓

Super update: exactly the reason for sprung buffers on models and hydraulic buffers on the real thing. Lovin’ this idea Gormo. Thanks for explaining!

👌😎☕️ cracking idea Gormo 😊

More excellent work Gormo👍😊 As I wrote in a previous video, Ive gone back to a magnetised shunters pole/torch for now. Ill still experiment with magnets on the stock and Dinghams but Ive trialed so many variants its become a chore. Then there's my small narrow gauge section which is similar 🙄🙄💔🙄🙄 A couple of questions if I may; the areas before and after the road over bridge? Will the matt black area be developed scenically or is it merely a lift out section that's been ballasted? Also the point work just after the bridge looks to have a check rail or extended switch blade, that intrigues me too🤔🤔🤔 Oh and if you know any admin from Platform 1 I cant get into my account, and no one has gotten back to me, any help or advice gratefully received 👍✌️🤞💜 Thanks in advance 👍😊

Hey; not so fast. How is it that the drivers on that four-trillion XX sidetanker rotate when the model is pushed? Possibly it is an old Lima? Incidentally, forcing drivers is a good way to upset the quartering - they do it all the time with Wrenn. Was wondering what turnouts you are using? Thanks

great vlog thanks four the share on channel keep up the great vlog on channel thanks lee

Looks great, Gormo. I use the phone exclusively and find it very good. youtube.com/@irishmodelrailway?si=KC4AmPvNDrI614Js

Nice job. Excellent coupling. 👍
