Look at Leighton'sLocos channel. He has G Scale steam engine models in his home. The G Scale engine videos he's uploaded will show you how much more space you need for G Scale. However, maybe you could construct a G Scale railway in your back garden if you have one. Bear in mind, G Scale model engines and rolling stock, because they are a lot bigger, will cost you nearly a fortune.

i really enjoy your videos and your collection is very impressive. also if you want to have both DCC and DC operation you should install a 3 position switch so the centre is your track wires / off and the two outer positions are the DCC and DC, so this means you can change between the two for DCC and DC operation very easily.

The Virgin HST should be on the main line so we can enjoy main line train spotting the way it once was. I don't approve of steam engines that have covered wheels, so get rid of it. Pacers are nice, but the more steam engines you run, the better your running sessions will be. If those Class 37s were in either Railfreight Grey or BR Blue, I'd tolerate them a titchy bit more.

@ to uncouple takes a very careful hand and lots of patience. Coupling 2 units up of the same class with same decoders I find isn’t too much of a problem in terms or running performance & speed.

Not enough snow, mate. The entire railway needs to be covered in model railway snow. The Sprinters can't move because their wheels are frozen solid. All the tank engines are hiding snug and warm inside their large engine shed, while Lydham Manor shares the Santa Special workload with Mr. DMU. Steam-hauled Christmas Special trains are also the order of main line timetables, since the diesels are all stuck fast in the sidings. Diesels aren't so reliable in freezing cold conditions. Steam engines manage a lot better, because they provide steam heating for the passengers. A magical atmospheric scene that truly shows Christmas has come along. Merry Christmas to you and all your steam engines who are better than stinky diesels.

@@northwesttrainsmodels Model Railway Snow never gets into gears and motors. My Cat Valley Steam Railway is covered in the stuff, and it's never given me any problems at all. All you have to do is take all your models off the track, and put them in their boxes. Scatter Model Railway Snow all over your railway, and then your model steamies are ready to run through a magical Winter Wonderland scene. The snow won't ever cause trouble with gears and motors, believe me.
