Have followed you for a while now, enjoy your videos, am still working up the courage to post my layout, keep up with the good work

The work bench may be a mess but if your like me you can put you hand out and grab what you need. If not a little tidy maybe in order. HAHAHA

Great size room nice layout

Hi ya Andy. Hey same here Andy. Not been vlogging long, just doing my own thing and hope people get some pleasure from my vlogs. You're layout is fantastic don't put yourself down. Always enjoy listening to you and seeing your skills. Wish my layout was as nice as yours. Stay safe buddy. ....Pete....

Hello how do you weather your track please

Hello new train friend here excellent layout its superb

I remember when you asked our opinion on your narration & I said that I’d years in the recording industry and you have a great voice and I’ve followed your progress & enjoyed every upload

I haven't been watching you for a full year, but what I've seen has been amazing. Your eye for detail is great. I'm looking forward to the next year. 😊

It’s been a genuine pleasure to see this railway grow and to be a part of your journey. The best way I can sum it up is “the world is a bit brighter with Beechroft Model Railway in it” Long may it continue.

You are an inspiration to all us railway modellers. Keep it up I enjoy every video. Thank you. 👍👍👍

Wonderful Layout and a year that has been very successful. It can be just fine to take a break. Spend some time in the garden and do those odd jobs around the house. i am sure your grand-daughter is proud of the progress this year. You have five running lines, all a good length, and they have cross overs if I remember rightly. I can't say enough in this short note and you can't show enough of your great work in a short video.

what is the actual size of your layout

You could try playground sand for a sub ballast and then finish it off with the pricier stuff. can save a few Quid that way. and maybe add a few industry infrastructure to the buildings like some pipes and maybe a small electricity transfer station. Everything is looking great. congratulations on your channels first birthday. Your channel is good and its growth is proof.

An untidy work bench is the sign of a genius.

I for one watch your channel because they are shorter than most but have good honest content, less is more as they say…congratulations on the first 12 months, looking forward to seeing your vlogs, weekly or fortnightly I will still be a follower…..

With the quality of your countryside modelling I’d be inclined to have more, with less railway infrastructure. Just my personal choice, not a moan. 👍🏼

You have a beautiful layout , I am on my seventh attempt as not happy with my current layout. You have done an amazing job. 👍

Hi Have a look at chadwick model railway no 190 He tries tiny friends farm Bathing sand Each to their own but a good alternative

A year and what a year. Amazingly well done every sub well deserved. I returned to the hobby about a year ago after a 40+ year tea brake and I agree that without the help and advice of the people out there in YT land, I to would be lost so much having changed in the last years since last ran a train. Just keep doing what you do.

The goods building is missing a loading platform. It should go where the double doors are on the side of the building.

Well maybe I don't comment every time you put up a video but. I do enjoy watching them . And it's a dam nice layout. Happy modelling Alan 😀

Thanks for that Andy, always inspiring. How do you manage to crawl into that far space? You must be a fit lad! 😊

Think you are being very modest about you abilities and what you have achieved. It is because you ask for opinions and ideas and then use the contributions from viewers rather than just activity which makes the channel look busy that makes your channel approachable and popular. Turning the tables and asking you a question for once! As Mr Princess/Duchess/Coronation if I may. Sadly lost an old and treasured Hornby Dublo City of London when clearing my late parents house. Looking to replace her with maybe another Dublo or Wrenn but maybe a new Hornby as they look lovely models. What is your view of these or what you feel to be the best more recent model to go for? Must admit I’m not keen on the fixed pony truck but could be persuaded…

Congrats on your year milestone Andy and thanks for the information and inspiration you provide. Not long before I reach the year point too, can't help thinking with only 120-odd subscribers what I'm doing wrong.............🤔😪😝

I dont mind a bit of repetition and slower progress. You are always iterating and improving your technique and its nice to see the change of style and the improvements.

Really love your layout, you have given me so many ideas on what and how to do different things. I enjoy watching your videos very much. Keep up the good work, and look forward to seeing how the layout progresses in the future. Thank you for keeping me motivated.

What an amazing achievement, you have created a wonderful layout, your grand Daughter must be very proud of you!

Great great great I don’t know about you learning from others but I have certainly learnt from you Your wet up is fantastic and in such a short time I hear people saying it taken six years to get to your standard Fantastic yet again a real credit to you Well done granddaughter is all I can say

Happy birthday. 🎉 You should congratulate yourself on what you’ve accomplished. Not only creating a great layout but sharing your progress, the good, the bad and the ugly. Not many people are able to show others their mistakes as openly as you do in these videos. Well done and great respect. Keep up the great work because you have a following of like minded individuals that actually rely on people like yourself to enable and encourage us to do the same. Thank you for sharing. Paul Cooper. Fellow amateur model railway builder. 👍👍

Absolutely brilliant

Another great video, thanks for always brightening my day and keeping me motivated to do more at my own layout. I missed who made the warehouse fronts, can you confirm where you purchased them please. Cheers Steve.

Happy Anniversary! Thank you for all the updates, sharing if thoughts and ideas. Your updates are one of the few I look forward to receiving the notifications. Another great update this week, the yard is coming along great

Thanks for taking the time to share your amazing layout with us. Your videos always give an enjoyable and honest view of building a layout. It’s great that you show the journey you’re on, including both the challenges you face and the rewards that come from all the hard work. Look forward to the next year!

Hi. Really enjoyed your video. Love those self adhesive factory pictures. Could you let me know where you downloaded them from. Many thanks

Congratulations on your 1st birthday. The reason I subscribe and thoroughly enjoy watching your progress is because you are an ordinary guy enjoying railway modelling in your retirement. Its also because you are open and honest about your skills and limitations. It's your railway and your pleasure. 😊

I think Peter Waterman was be proud of your layout. Looks great. Happy first birthday to your layout. 👍👍👍👍

Friday mornings here in the antipodes means the Beechcroft update - something I have come to look forward to. Great work, keep it up.

This layout is really fantastic for someone starting with little knowledge you have created a Model Railway which is superb have you got the dimensions please, length and width cannot wait for further updates, Colin.

Looking good Grandad, always enjoy tuning in. Keep up the good work cheers Peter from downunder.

I like the way you modestly state you're no expert whilst the likes of me look on in awe at what you have created. So many points of interest and all of it detailed to a level that makes me envious of your ability to envisage and create something special. As I near retirement myself, it inspires me to think that the oldies can still cut it. I guess a happy birthday might be in order and also a thank you to your grand daughter for encouraging you to share your layout with us as it has progressed over the last year. With that said, it is very important not to become a slave to KZbin. We're just passengers who are along for the ride, enjoying the scenery. You're the driver, map reader, mechanic, destiny setter and pace setter. If you get enjoyment from our enjoyment then that's great, but we should never be the priority so your pace is our pace.

Really enjoy your videos mate picked up a lot of ideas from your layout ...and love your locos as well ..keep going ...Dan

Gday Grandad, Can't believe it's been a year .Excellent work and enjoying your progress. Here's to another year.Regards Tony 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺😁

Another great video really informative you done a first class job cheers for sharing

excellent progress, and a nice layout, I know I asked before but I’ll ask again as I forgot, how big is your layout again as I’m trying to plan my own layout, and I’m just looking for inspiration etc, I’ll be building mine in a room that’s just under 10ft long by 8ft deep but I’ll have to have some space for my desk and chair still so I’m hoping that’s enough for a layout. Hope that’s understandable. Look forward to seeing more progress on yours - Callum.

Considering you've only been at the video's for one year, one would think you've been at it longer, I'm a professional trainer by trade and I think these video's are great!, very engaging and informative, you've certainly inspired me with ideas and to basically get cracking... a true ambassador for the hobby.... well done and keep up the good work. Pizza and BBQ, what time do you want us round? have a good one.

Brilliant progress.... looking forward to seeing the 2nd birthday update and how much further you got

👍

Good job❤❤

Do you have any track plans for your layout
