These are nice little models! I keep meaning to get started in OO9 but I’ve been sidetracked with all my OO projects… 😭

[@macnavi]

If you want to avoid visible paint leaks, when masking, use the base colour again once you’ve finished masking. This will then protect the base layer. Also, you can make your own width of masking tape by putting wider masking tape on a glass plate, using a metal ruler and a sharp knife to cut.

[@GWilliamsonModels]

Good tip with spraying the base layer, cheers

[@OwainsTrains]

These are one of my favourite diesels as the depot they came from is a couple of miles from where I live! Models look fantastic

[@GWilliamsonModels]

That’s a great connection, cheers!

[@RRspartan24]

Brooks makes lovely models.. i have one of his Gardsvans with the opening doors to put together.

[@GWilliamsonModels]

He has a very nice way to putting them together, well thought out

[@kathleengriffith923]

I have built a few Nigel Brooks models, they are awesome

[@GWilliamsonModels]

They are, I’ll be trying a few more products from his collection

[@Mike_Wahousekey]

Love when you post, for me, it’s very late and these serve as a great last video for the night. Love the models.😊

[@GWilliamsonModels]

Glad you enjoy them mate

[@Andrew-iq8zf]

A very timely video as I'm about to complete my own diesel shunter and was interested in how you do the wasp stripes. Very instructive. I too have purchased kits from Nigel Brooks and am very impressed with the quality. His contractors loco "Tiny" was really good and a real challenge to paint.

[@GWilliamsonModels]

Well this is my technique for wasp stripes, and it works for me. I know some use transfers, but I can see that being super fiddly around details etc

[@thetrainspotters502]

Another fantastic video George, I love these two as they feel different to the likes of Midlander and Alf. These models are fantastic and I’ve had the pleasure of seeing them in real life.

[@GWilliamsonModels]

They do, it’s nice to have different diesels running on the layout

[@bdlii]

I aspire to be like you one day. Thank you for the video.

[@GWilliamsonModels]

Cheers mate, I appreciate that

[@TheHoveHeretic]

Super clip George. Many thanks! 👍 I'm not currently modelling in 009, but this 'ere kit is going on my 'to get' list .... there are so many small but crucial innovations on this print that I REALLY need to rethink my own ambitions. If doors can open on 4mm NG, ain't no excuse for not including them on SG kit! Enjoy your holiday George! All the best ... Howard

[@GWilliamsonModels]

Yes quite right, sometimes it’s good to go out of your modelling comfort zone and learn new skills, Cheers!

[@michaelwhiles5282]

Smooth ! Thanks for posting.

[@GWilliamsonModels]

Cheers mate

Bachmann Narrow Gauge had already released their own Baguley-Drewry Diesels in their 009 Range.

[@GWilliamsonModels]

It’s not the correct version for the TR diesels. That’s a 90hp, these are 99hp, and much larger

[@NewController11Productions]

@@GWilliamsonModels 1 green Baguley-Drewry Diesel had 70hp and not either 90hp or 99hp just got preserved.

Splendid work as always George, certainly makes me want to have a go! carry on sir!

[@GWilliamsonModels]

Cheers, yes give it a go!

[@T0blerone1a]

Thanks George, saved money by building the 'right' Baguley, and not buying the Bachmann one, I can now buy more train stuff

[@GWilliamsonModels]

Absolutely, Bachmann one is a nice model, but the incorrect loco for the TR

[@MicroModelRailwayDispatch]

More nice work. I was happy when the primer coat went on and I could see all the details in the print. The original white appeared to make that almost impossible, it was overexposing so easily.

[@GWilliamsonModels]

Yes the white doesn’t help checking it out, maybe in the future I’ll primer it before showing the model

[@macnavi]

To get the airbrushed paint in gaps, lower the pressure. Like 1 bar.

[@GWilliamsonModels]

Yeah I need to do that, cheers

[@mrrail99]

A fantastic video as always. I know the almighty algorithm doesn't like the long videos these days but I say make them as long as you want, you can throw in a little phonebook reading in the middle but if you like. Your videos have gotten me really interested in these narrow gauge slate railways. Can you recommend a good resource for more research especially into the time prior to their preservation? So many curiosities, like why so many slate wagons have the number 700. Can't wait for next week.

[@GWilliamsonModels]

Thanks, I try to keep videos around the 10-12 minute mark, mostly because it takes so long to edit them, but really the videos tend to be as long as they need to be to show what I’m making. That’s great if you’ve got a new interest, there’s so many books around. I think I’d start by deciding if there are any railways in particular you’d like to learn about, and go from there!

[@darthknuxward3220]

Lovely work as always. Any plans to model the former stock such as Merseysider or Bryn Eglwys?

[@GWilliamsonModels]

I am indeed, and more..

[@darthknuxward3220]

@@GWilliamsonModels that is great to hear. I also was wondering, have you done Numbers one and four yet?

[@ExpressRhubarb]

lovely work on these! they look so good i can't wait to do a pair of them in 7mm!

[@GWilliamsonModels]

Cheers, they’d look good in 7mm, should look really heavy

[@SteeltheSteamsheild]

Really nicely done. How much are they. And where can I get them from out of curiosity. Along with that. Has the 5.5 layout of pendry left the space for good now.

[@GWilliamsonModels]

Not much at all, I believe this one is about £20 for the body!

[@hoxfoxyt]

nice job and did you hear that we might have an update on the bachmann sir handel next month on thomas tusday

I did indeed, not sure how much they’ll show us..but it’s just nice to know it’s still happening

[@MaxwellTheTrainFan]

Nice models . Tho Bachman I do believe makes them already . However I was going to use one of them chassis for one of my own projects but … think you need it more

[@GWilliamsonModels]

Bachmann make the 90hp version, which is quite short compared to this 99hp version, so isn’t actually any good for the talyllyn diesels

[@MaxwellTheTrainFan]

Oh . I see

[@MaxwellTheTrainFan]

Well maybe try making the faces for the extravaganzas perhaps to number 4 number 6 and number 5 . Like at the extravaganzas perhaps . The only reason is because it’s cool

[@GWilliamsonModels]

@@MaxwellTheTrainFan I want to do that, and have been offered the files for those faces, so maybe next year!

[@MaxwellTheTrainFan]

@@GWilliamsonModels . And if you ever do them faces and a blue talylln . I am wanting you to make the i colas cage face he had at this years event .

[@OfficiallyOliverWalker]

I’m always so inspired by your model work, they always look so amazing!! How long does it usually take you to make a model from start to finish?

[@GWilliamsonModels]

Cheers mate. It takes a good few hours, these took about 10 hours I’d say

[@MSR_Studios]

Do you feel the need to add weight to your locos? Just wondering to see if thats just a preference or what. Great models btw!

[@kathleengriffith923]

I add a couple of small lead fishing sinkers....helps with traction and longer rakes of wagons

[@GWilliamsonModels]

I personally haven’t been adding weight, but it wouldn’t hurt to do that. I might do it in the near future if they struggle to pull trains

[@TheFirstConcorde]

Hopefuuly he does NH7 prints 👀

[@GWilliamsonModels]

I’m sure he will

[@Jude-72]

I'm conflicted about these. They look really good, but feel just a bit shirt on the bonnet section.

[@GWilliamsonModels]

Not sure what you mean there? The bonnet is to scale

[@Jude-72]

May just be me. They feel just slightly awkward.

[@T3DSK1]

Hi George please do me a favour when cutting on your models cut away please I don`t like the sight of claret 😵‍💫

[@TheHoveHeretic]

If you'd like to innoculate youself against the heebie-jeebies from (highly skilled and experienced modeller) George's activities, might I recommend Dan Preston's 'Escape to Rural France' channel on this platform, which details his ongoing efforts to restore a French chateau ruined by a calamitous fire around 40 years ago. Believe me, nothing you see here will concern you again!! 🙂

[@GWilliamsonModels]

If it helps, I’ve never cut myself doing this, and I’ve been a regular modeller for about 20 years now…if I do, I’ll try and get it on camera for you 😂
