A Full Line Trip - The Yorkshire Dales Model Railway

A Full Line Trip - The Yorkshire Dales Model Railway
This week I give the B1 and Class 33 a run up and down the full length of both layouts. I also gave the new Accurascale Siphon G van a run in my parcels train. This was my first experience of an Accurascale product and it easily lived up to my expectations. I'll show how I weathered this up next week.

My favourite layout absolutely beautiful.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@roberthayter157]

A truly magnificent model railway. Additionally, all the effort that must have gone into filming and editing. Thank you!!!!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Robert!

[@user-hp7pr1xp6h]

As a life long railwayman (footplate grades) I can honestly say this is one of the most evocative and enjoyable model railway layouts I’ve seen. Absolutely wonderful. Takes me back to much happier times when Britains railways were much more appealing! Some of the lineside footage reminded me of the old Ivo Peter’s films of the S&D. Many thanks 👍

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you - glad you liked it!

[@ChobertonJunction]

What a set of journey's around your layout amazing to see. Love the low angled shots.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

Hi Lewis, fantastic running session, beautifully filmed and edited. Even some directional sound 🤩👍 Big like 👍

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you so much 😀

[@user-pv1jm1rg1k]

Stunning layout sounds fantastic 👍👍👍👍

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@christofsmanlib1385]

Wooooo! Fantastic to have the classic Yorkshire dales layout back, my wish from a few weeks ago came true 😃 Absolute love your original layout, the whole scene is just outstanding, and a real pleasure to watch. Thanks for your efforts sharing with us all 👍😊

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks very much 😀😀😀

[@jacqueso8424]

Another wait certainly worth the while, especially to be enlightened by a full distance with all the stations and a lovely crossing with your mailtrain and a passenger service. I never cease to be amazed as to how many possible and lovely camera angles and options for positions your layout have. Simply delightful. Hope to see more crossings like these. Thanx for another delightful video on YDMR

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it 😀

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Very nice indeed. Great to see Eastleigh, she was my favourite and I worked on her many times. Happy memories. Your layout is beyond compare,

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Ah that’s cool! Thank you 👍🏻

[@stephendavies6949]

I read your comment before I noticed who'd wrote it and thought, "That sounds like...." and then I saw the alias! Not that I'm stalking you, you understand!

[@cedarcam]

Good to see the full line again and the new 33 running.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

[@robertbate5790]

Fantastic feat of editing. Just love this railway. 👍👍👍👍

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it

[@stevenkarnisky411]

Another end to end tour, but, by far the longest stretch is the part we cannot see! As always, nicely and realisticly done, Lewis. Been missing your podcasts!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tom201090]

Impressive Layout.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@ronnronn55]

I see our man is back at his post on the switching building after his "incident". Nice individual shots of scenery and train positions. The layout looks much larger with these techniques. Thanks, Ronn

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Ronn!

[@modelrailroader5619]

Watched this with headphones on and volume up…WOW! Great editing, and really great camera angles. I love to visit the Yorkshire Dales vicariously through your videos. Thanks for the update!🇨🇦

[@nickrails]

Nice to see the large stone slates on the small derelict barn, quite common in Lancashire and Yorkshire but not often modelled. Really adds to the sense of place

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 👍🏻

Excellent stuff, loved the Class 33.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kieroncraig3594]

i love this layout so much that it's the main inspiration for one i'm making in a video game called "Rolling Line" where you can make pretty much any model railway layout you want

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 😀

[@greghale9972]

Hi Lewis, Very enjoyable running session with a nice blend of steam and diesel and realistic sound. Cheers Greg

This simply is perfection Lewis and always most enjoyable. I love the B1. Thanks for sharing & kind regards from France. Cheers, filip

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Filip!

[@muir8009]

Gosh your filming is getting top notch. Much as I love the sounds of a crompton type 3 8lda (suspiciously sounding like 6 cyls, not 8), for me the sound effect that really makes it is the quiet pastoral birdsong. So enjoyable, really good, almost soothing viewing this one. Takes one to a nice place...

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you, appreciate it!

What is going on? Diesels, where have all the steamers gone? I know that the border between Yorkshire and Lancashire is being eroded, but Diesels, be warned the next thing is decimalisation and cooking with gas. Thank heavens the of old chuffers are still going strong. 😂😂😂😂😂

An absolutely wonderful layout. Been watching for years. It never fails to put a smile on my face. You need to call out the GPO and get some of those Telegraph poles straightened before they derail a train. 😊

BUFFERING UP IN THE YORKSHIRE DALES !!! Another great video - finally sussed out your track plan - perfect for a "preserved line" !!! A TIP FOR MODELLERS. GWR & LMS coaching stock used a different type of gangway connection (BSS), a different coupling (Screw link) & a different type of buffer (non retractable), from those items fitted to Southern Railway, LNER & BR coaching stock, from around 1923 onwards. SR/LNER/BR stock were fitted with semi rigid Pullman gangways, Buckeye rigid auto couplers & retractable buffers. On these types when coupled, the buffers HAD to be retracted out of use, as the Buckeye coupling being a rigid design ensured exact spacing between the vehicles. The Pullman gangways only rubbed against each other & were NOT physically connected, unlike the BSS flexible type which had to be physically connected to its couterpart, and supported from brackets above, or it sagged out of line ! It was only possible to couple coaches using the two systems if the LMS or GWR coach had been fitted with "Adapter plates" to its floppy BSS gangway end, so that this could be clamped to a Pullman corridor connection on a SR/LNER/BR type. The Buckeye had to be dropped on the BR/SR/LNER vehicle (on its hinge) to reveal a hook for the LMS/GWR screw link coupling. And the BR/SR/LNER buffers had to be extended, with "cuffs" fitted to the buffer shanks, so the buffers could now reach those on the GWR/LMS coach. Failure to couple in this way would result in derailments in sharp curves including points. Indeed there were even restrictions on certain coaches (such as the long six wheel bogie Pullmans, because they were Buckeye fitted) from entering certain platforms at Waterloo & elsewhere, or they would derail ! ON THE MODEL: It will be clearly seen on your model coaches that the GWR/LMS type coaches have a narrower round topped gangway connection each end, that appears to stick out more than on the BR/SR/LNER types which clearly have shorter wider squarer shaped gangway connections. Hornby at least often provide an alternative "BSS gangway" in the retracted (shortened) position, for LMS/GWR models which is ONLY USED on the outer end coaches of a train. Because BSS gangways being flexible & floppy had to be pushed back into their retracted position, and chained in this position to stop them flopping about and getting damaged when the train was in motion. Conversely Hornby have very kindly added actual sprung buffers to many SR/LNER/BR coach models !!! But these buffers when inbetween vehicles with Buckeye couplings should be in the retracted out of use position, and not allowed to touch each other. Removing the spring and adding a drop of UHU tacky glue (which can be removed if needed) to keep the buffer in its retracted position, also has the advantage of allowing closer more realistic coupling of your BR/SR/LNER type models !!! For the Record: I'm a qualified Railway Mechanical Engineer, who also happens to be a professional modeller. So I've dealt with real coaching stock, as well as models on my many exhibition layouts down the years. Indeed I have worked for many railways around the World, & was until last December the CME for a European Railway Museum.

Hi Lewis. Blooming great, it must take ages to sort out the sound files and editing stuff absolutely lovely and the new loco looks great after your weathering.did you manage to sort out that non runner you bought the other week I think it was a HST ? Thanks again Lewis for a great video.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Tony! Yes I got that one running again 👍🏻

[@lowerquadrant4647]

A stunningly beautiful layout. Are we going to see more diesel in the future? 🤩

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Yes I’ve got one of the Accurascale BR Green class 37s ordered 😀

[@barrypick5361]

Thanks for filming, it's very encouraging for a newbie. Can I ask which camera you're using.

[@stretchedits]

Hi Lewis, nice video. I thought your weathering on the Class 33 really brought out the chassis detail well, that's a great model. Where your Siphon G's the new one from Accurascale? I'm going to guess not, but they still look really good on the parcel train. Nice stuff, thanks and all the best Dave.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Dave. The crimson one is the Accurascale version, the maroon one a really old Dapol or mainline one I think.

[@Shelfandtabletoplayouts00gauge]

Just drifting away here…..more medicine please 👋

[@MouldyRaspberry]

More to come!😀

[@OlivierGabin]

Great idea to add a diesel and make a complete tour of the layout. I'm expecting two Siphon G from Accurascale this week (one GWR brown and one BR red) and I'm impatient to run them. By the way, what happened to your station signs ? Seems someone stick a red translucent label on all of them.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Olivier. They’re great models. The crazy cold weather this past winter caused quite a bit of condensation in the loft which made the colours on the run

[@jcmgt]

That's some serious syncing. :-)

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks!

[@bobhastings6464]

I enjoyed the video Lewis. In the first minute of the video, what was the foliage you used along side the tracks. I don’t mean the static grass but it seems like some kind of fine leaf foliage . It didn’t look just like Woodland Scenics clump foliage. Cheers from Canada Bob

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Bob. It’s woodland Scenics polyfibre, with some of their light green coarse turf sprinkled on after spraying it with hairspray.

[@dinmorejunctionmodelrailway]

Eastleigh looks lovely in green. When I searched for this locomotive, the boges are unpainted, unlike yours. Did you do it yourself, Lewis?

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks! I think mine were painted because they had the yellow axle boxes and red springs.

[@dinmorejunctionmodelrailway]

@Mouldy Raspberry I have Eastleigh in Post Office Red. A loco I've been after for a while. I've even asked Heljan to produce it in the new 21-pin versions, so let's see

[@stephendavies6949]

Diesel looks great but the steam engine is better!

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

From what I've seen in real life, a parcels train only consists of two or three Siphons and a brake coach. Yes, steam engines do haul them. Loved the B1, and wish you'd swapped the stinky box on wheels for another steamy. Then again, one steamy running is better than none.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Don’t worry, back to all steam next video 😀 I’ve seen some photos of some really long parcels trains like this photo below: www.steve-banks.org/images/historical/parcels/45135_1960s_brm2153_swb_1200_800_72usa.jpg

Is this O gauge or OO

[@MouldyRaspberry]

OO gauge

[@brianthecanmm6637]

Stunning detail and camera work

[@meruliouslacrimens5154]

Same old story here, though. Models very good,but that very first train had No Driver evident through the clear windows in the cab and No passengers in any of the coaches. Spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar, again. Why bother to populate everywhere else, yet do not bother to put either train crew or passengers into any trains ? Disgruntled retired train driver.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Wow I didn’t realise people took these videos so seriously - It’s only a train set! Most of the coaches have passengers fitted, although the video doesn’t really pick it up. Out of 35 locos, I’ve got one without a driver which I only got a week ago - give me a break 🤣
