Maybe you could create a little tunnel to access the castle

not seen you for a while , all ok ?

Great video

Thanks for the nice pictures of the great model railways. I think the recordings of the complete systems are really good. Greetings from Bavaria

A great wee exhibition. I got loads of ideas from those layouts. Thanks.

great exhibition , interesting and well laid out show

Thank you for the sub , have sub'd you back and looking forward to following your progress . You have a great layout with long runs on so will be very good with long rakes of coaches ........Peter

What a good size layout and certainly looking good. Glynn

Hello there, I detest traction tyres and after much experimenting i have removed all of them from my locos (steam and diesel) and added the weights you are using to the tenders in particular and the locos if required. Yes they run and pull much better without those rubber objects, proving that weight improves traction much better. Best regards and i love your layout, Alan (Dorset steamer)

I to have a homemade static applicator and I had to get the tea strainer quite close to the grass to get it up. Love the progress. Barry.Devon.

great update :)

look for wheel weights on ebay layout coming on nicely now

Great work, coming along nicely

some very nice layouts there think my favorite is definatly millfield yard and also love the bear creek junction layout, thanks for sharing

Great update. Could tell your were happier and healthier as it showed in the video. It's great to hear and see! The bat mobile is a nice touch in the town. It's all coming long well. Clint

nice to see you again , and nice to see the progress being made

Looking great

A great New Year 2019 to you too. A really wonderful video report. Very impressive the Liverpool Lime Street layout.

Some very nice layouts on show. Some good inspiration seen. Thanks for filming and uploading Clint

hi there , have not seen any new vids for a while

Nice sized layout with plenty of potential..please feel free to sub my channel

Nice video

great progress

Great report thank you very much !

Hi, great update looks like you have been busy building you town scene I am building low relief kits myself at the moment , so I am really interested in how you are doing tour pavements I thought I heard you say with matchsticks I am same opinion I don't want to uses the Metcalfe card ones because I have see them on other layouts and they all start coming up so if you don't mind I would like to know your method. Your layout is really starting to take shape and is looking good. Regards George...

Nice update, great job on the buildings and wall. Cheers Paul

Great updates some nice progress keep looking forward cheers Pete

Starting to look good you’ve done well,when you’ve done most of it you can always go back and alter any areas your not happy with it looking good.

Kevin just catching up on your videos - great update BTW and love the low relief building, very smart.. Yeah As a community just shout buddy as we’re are all here to reach out to and support - don’t ever feel alone as easy as that sounds. Take care buddy Garry 😉👍

enjoyed watching that , quality layouts so realistic, well done all. Wish I could incorporate a locomotive into my industrial set ups but at 1/12th scale it would be difficult

A very nice video report.

thanks for showing loved watching it

I can't criticise the body of work that you've put in here, but to me it's an exhibition of people playing with trian sets.

was that all the layouts there ?

Great video. Some good looking layouts and scenery ideas. Thanks for filming and uploading, Clint

Here's an example if how it should be dne: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnbEoniOqqeHbZI

Great update!!! I am curious about the future videos!! Regards from Holland, Onno.

I'm the one who made the original 'babble' comment. I'm 83 and paraplegic following three strokes. I went through a bad mental health patch 40 yeats ago and appreciate what you;'re going through. After years in therapy I realised that the only person who can help you is yourself. As a competitive aeromodeller my final cure was to go back to winning contests. Nowadays I find that I spend all my time planning how I am going to do things and very little time actually doing. I build rolling stock and plan a layout that will never get builr. Take a look at my KZbin channel.

I would be very disappointed with some of the layouts. I know they have to be transported from show to show but you can see some of them falling apart. Back drops are falling off platform edges are lifting and separating. Where roads and kerbs come together they are just stuck down with no care or defined lines and lifting. Buildings are leaning over and split. If my layout was like that and i was going to show it at a public event i would feel very guilty and ashamed. Some of it just takes a little PVA glue or wall paper paste some of it requires a bit more remedial work. Operation of Locos is poor as well that also needs to be addressed and perfected for these shows. Yes plenty of cats and bikes. Any way thats my observations.

Taking shape

Personally if a video has music I usually turn it off as I think it distracts from what you are trying to show, same if the "babble" is too loud so just carry on doing what you do and get what you want out of it. People should (and I think most do) understand that you are sharing your hobby with them, you're not making theirs for them. All the best :)

getting there

I tried the music background on two of my vids, ok I guess but don't think I will do it again. I just do the vids as a record of my builds and the rarer bits on my plants, also it is easier to see my own mistakes when I play them back. I think it was a brave thing to do to speak of your ill health and perhaps a big step in getting better

enjoyed that , railways not really my thing , I do live steam industrial set ups in 1/12 scale, but I enjoy all models and yours looks so promising

can you imagine how good that lay out would be with live steam

Hi, great to see you back. Sorry to hear about your situation, hope things improve for you. Just remember to keep talking to people, especially those close to you. Ive been there so I have some idea where you are coming from. You asked about background noise at exhibitions, you are bound to get conflicting opinions on noise/music. Personally I cannot stand videos with music, but I am one person in hundreds who watch your videos.

Hi Kelvin. great to see you back and well done for 'coming out' regarding your health :). Mental health is a killer. I am a stress sufferer and have been close to breakdown. I don't think that anyone who has not been there can fully understand. I have also been away from railway modelling for much of this year but I am starting to get back into it now. This year has been a pig with family bereavements etc and my mum finally going into a home for the bewildered. I found an outlet by getting an ebike and riding down the canal towpath over the glorious summer we just had. I found that quite cathartic and I am starting to be in a better place now, getting back to my hobbies again. The buildings look great and I have quite a few Smart Models kits but have not started building them yet as I REALLY need to get the track down first! I found a corner that was simply too tight on the inner loop and so I have had to rip up tat section and make changes, sigh! I look forward to seeing your progress soon :). Ian

Good to see you back. Seriously hope you get better. Mental Health is an important factor in life. Your subscribers will be here when your ready to get back in to the hobby. Like you, I find model railroading a way to escape"reality" as I put it and i get some relaxation from it. The Metcalfe department store looks good. Very nice kit. Smart models is something I will have to check out. Clint

Once again ruined by the babble in the background.

Well captured. Thanks for sharing, cheers Matt
