Very interesting, you inspired me to add to my 009 loco collection and also get one of those brake vans

[@Elvinley]

Excellent!

[@farmerdave7965]

Beautiful layout !

[@Elvinley]

Thank you!

[@mussersail]

Enjoy the smaller stuff as much as the 7.25”. I’ve used the Kato 109s on my HO scale steel mill themed railroad Intra mill narrow gauge (HOn30) Nice little mechanisms.

[@Elvinley]

Excellent! Yes they are brilliant and always work well. Not had a bad one yet.

Nice video, enjoyed it very much. Love what you showed of your layout

[@Elvinley]

Thanks a lot Ian! Really glad you enjoyed it.

The Billard T75G Locotracteur is a cool locomotive. I based one of My Thomas & Friends OC's off of it. It's the first locomotive showcased in the video, and I like it.

[@Elvinley]

Yes I'm fond of that one!

[@StanFerris]

Charming little locos! Nice job with them!

[@Elvinley]

Thanks Stan!

[@larsheydecke887]

I realy love that 009 layout its superb 👍👍

[@Elvinley]

Thank you Lars!

[@LeoStarrenburg]

Very nice loco's and vans ! Could you give us a few tips on how you treated the 3D surface, I tend to end up with rather coarse surfaces on my On30 shells from Shapeways. I've done a bit of 7¼" work in the past, must be over 40 years ago when I collected my set of Tinkerbell castings from Roger Marsh in Hinckley. Nowadays On30 is big enough for me.

[@Elvinley]

To be honest I don't do much. With resin prints there is very little left to do if they are good quality. Sometimes a bit of light sanding on the roof to get rid of steps and that's about it. Thanks for your comments!

[@attuslebeard5133]

Thanks for sharing this - I'd been wondering how good these kits were and it's prompted me to get a few.

[@Elvinley]

Oh that's great! They are so easy to use and need little to no prep.

Great Video Ian , Were do you buy the Kato 109 chassis from.

Thanks David! I get them from Plaza Japan.

The Camp Coffee sign reminded me of my Grandad as he used to drink it. You don’t sound great at all, I hope you get better soon.

[@Elvinley]

Thanks mate! Apparently Camp was an acquired taste.

[@gordanmilne7034]

It's still out there, quite an interesting history to it. Great video.
