Australian Model Railway News - May 2024

[@Skasaha_]

Gopher's announcement is pretty huge for me. I don't really do NSW but a 38 in N is the kind of model I can easily go out of my wheelhouse for. Also congrats on the 10k!

[@michaelimpey1407]

Will, congrats on hitting 10,000 subscribers, You have a great channel, and you should be at 100,000 subscribers (next month). Great news report as always, there are now certainly a large number of suppliers into the 3D Printed models. The quality is certainly improving, and great to see. Thank you for sharing, and cheers, stay safe, Michael

[@matthewkrahe1988]

I love your channel bringing all of the latest train news from all around Australia thanks again.

Congratulations on hitting the big 10K Will! It's a testament to all your hard work and dedication to promoting this great hobby!

Will I can tell you personally how amazing Scale Model Co is at Thornleigh Sydney, it's just 10 mins drive from where I live. It's a absolutely incredible model shop. It's very focused on O scale, and of course all the other popular scales are there. I did a Google review there to show Glen the owner that I have magical powers in making shops look amazing. I also know Ian from IDR, we have been friends for many years now and I got to know him when he owned the now defunct Hobbyland at Hornsby. Sadly Hobbyland turned into a train wreck after Ian sold the business. But the good news is that Scale Model Co becomes the best Hobby shop on the North Shore of Sydney. I'm trying to get Glen interested in making a O Scale Sydney Red Rattler. Considering how popular the HO version is I think it would work scaled up. Sadly there's now a massive gap to the next 'Great Train Show'. Not sure why they moved to Spring, I felt the late Autumn weather was more attractive to luring in joe public to look at model trains. In Spring there are far too many other distractions.

Well done Will, and 10k, woohoo.

Congratulations on 10k Will! As always, another great video. Here is my question Will, what is your favorite Victorian Railways steam locomotive? Mine is either the K class or the J class. cheers!

[@leonkernan]

Gopher has shown off their own N scale XPT samples at the convention according to a Facebook post.

[@WillJamesRailways]

That they have! They had told me I couldn’t share it unfortunately!

[@SootMan72]

Congrats on 10,000 subs!! Always looking forward to your videos.😁 And for a question. When and how did you get a liking for trains and model trains? 🚂🚂 Have a great day. 👍

[@FogartyAvenue]

This video is absolutely incredible! 👏

[@VictorianRailwaysPhotography]

Cheers!

[@SteamRailPatreonR761VR]

cheers will I went to the Bendigo Model Railway expo in April it was well worth the time the amount of time people spend on their layouts are insane also I have also wanted to become a patron of steamrail (it's a bit hard since Ballarat and Melbourne are the only options that are close to me since I live in bendigo) but it's something I would love to do and I was wondering what can I get out of it?

[@MrMontrose1967]

I hope you can make it over to the Adelaide show this year

[@WillJamesRailways]

I’ll be there!

[@james-vt7cl]

🥰

[@ianwilson1276]

Great stuff as usual Will James, at least you cover the smaller manufacturers that a certain magazine overlooks every edition.

[@SharkytheGunzel]

Can you tell us more about our lord and saviour FreemOO9 in you 10,000 sub special? Can I ask more than 1 question?

[@roberthamilton1959]

Well done on 10k!

[@SharkytheGunzel]

@@roberthamilton1959 thanks!

[@forthbrdge6162]

Paul’s 3D thank you for the DRC! Now I just need to get a couple shipped to the States.

[@Victorian_steam]

Thanks for the news as always will! Question for the QNA- will we see any layout updates or building this coming year or in future! Congrats on the 10k subs again!

[@NicholassTrainChannel]

Nice news update Will. Congrats on 10,000 subscribers! It's onwards and upwards from here! I'm looking forward to the Pauls 3D prints N class loco kit. I'll be at the Glen Waverley exhibition this month. As for a question for the 10,000 subs special my question is what is the best loco and rolling stock purchase you have made?

[@Cale_Seamer]

Congratulations on 10K subscribers and well done on all your videos so far. Keep up the great work.

[@andrewsgarage796]

Awesome Will, was great to meet you at Rosehill, please keep up the great content Best Regards Andrew

[@stewartclark1847]

Always enjoy watching your videos while having a coffee. Nice to have meet you at the Sydney show last month too.

[@railroadsdownunder8200]

Congrats on 10,000 will!

[@G516R700]

Great stuff as always mate, thanks for all the updates. Looks like lots of great stuff coming soon and over the next couple of years. I am really looking forward to the Overland sets and carriages and PCJ/O vans they will be great, luckily have already paid and ordered most of the ones i want to get. Also lots of other great stuff coming out

[@chuckmaddison2924]

One thing that is annoying with model rail in Australia is that Perth is bloody useless. I can't just walk in to look. Have to rely on the phone screen. May as well live in Mundrabilla. Now I'm going to rewind for the date on Claremont show. Took screen shot $ 20 or $ 45 family is pretty reasonable.

[@CalebsCrossings]

Hello! I do have a question for your Q & A Video, this is. What’s your favourite steam loco OF ALL TIME.

[@johnwoodall3791]

Nice Video Will, Thanyou for all the infornation. Much Appreciated. Respectfulky ...

[@WillJamesRailways]

My pleasure!

[@TewksburyGlisaReginaK]

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the kislux leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.

[@WillJamesRailways]

Well clearly this spammer didn’t watch the video

[@mels1811]

Excellent video Will James

[@chrisj6321]

Saw someone at the footy last night wearing one of your beanies. Where are my powerline vline coaches :(

[@WillJamesRailways]

How good! A lot of people would like to know I think!

[@jimmeyscool]

Good video!

[@PlatformONE]

As for the racks, similar items are a lot cheaper elsewhere.
