Autumn Rail Report at Wood Hill Park.58

Just a quick autumn update to show the progress on the layout.
The billboards are by an online supplier calling themselves Buntersyard which can quite easily by found on that online auction site.
Don't forget, if you want to see what I'm currently working on and stay up to date with the channel you can follow me on my Facebook page below.

Your welcome Graham@@WHP1980s

[@dinmorejunctionmodelrailway]

I like the new start to your videos.

[@WHP1980s]

Thanks, I did wonder whether it would be OK as a repetitive begin to my channel. Seems to have gone down well so far. You have added to my confidence that it suits the channel opening. Cheers 👍 🍻

[@stephenb9400]

❤ love to see you again miss your work mate looking forward to seeing more great 👍 stuff.

[@WHP1980s]

Thanks for watching, very glad you're enjoying the channel. Cheers Graham 👍

[@stephenb9400]

Enough about me.. your somebody I would have liked to know. Good God I would and still like to know you in person. Because you think like I do as far as ( modeling railways ) is concerned for it to be true to life in scale ) which is what the motivation is to continue with the hobby making it closest to the real thing.

[@Mapplewell_Park]

Great update. I have the same billboards which I also got from Bunters Yard. It’s a great site for line side details and the like. The little things make such a difference 👍

[@WHP1980s]

Totally agree a great source of detailing at a fair price. And they're not paying me to say anything. I just thought I would give them a plug because of the good service. Cheers Graham 👍

[@stewartframpton716]

Great work on the detailing Graham. Good idea to take out that inner siding and point. Regards Stewart

[@WHP1980s]

Cheers Stewart👍

Great video as usual Graham. Get well soon!

[@darrelldeltic807]

Excellent update Graham, the little details just make all the difference, I’ve got some of those billboards from Bunters Yard and I thought they came with the fencing too but never mind 😆 I’ve had a few bits from him like the plate girder bridge I’ve just been working on , hope you’re feeling better by now , cheers Darrell

[@WHP1980s]

Yep I'm doing a lot better thanks, looking forward to GETS next Sunday. Many thanks Graham 👍 😊

[@stephenb9400]

Your great keep going 💪 strong like all you've done so far 🎉

[@WHP1980s]

Cheers 👍

[@ClydebridgeStation]

A little suggestion for you Graham, for the road on the other side of the level crossing; use a google streetview image, to extend the road further. But a great update, great to see another layout set in the same era as mine!

[@WHP1980s]

Not thought of that one, an interesting idea. Will look into that. Cheers 👍

[@warwickroadmodelrailway]

A great update as always Graham. Going to go back through your previous videos about the new Hornby sounds as new sound decoders pretty expensive. Like the look of the advertising signs, just ordered one for my layout. ATB David

[@WHP1980s]

Thanks for watching David. The billboards are well worth the money IMO.atb mate🙂

[@tonycarrington1]

Great video once again graham its all in the detail as they say.... great work pity i wont get to meet you at GETS as i'm going on the saturday it would of been great to of met you in the flesh hopefully get to see you another time all the best kind regards Tony

[@WHP1980s]

Same here Tony. Would of loved to meet you mate. Wanted to do the weekend but had to choose in the end. Hopefully our paths will cross again in the not to distant future. Thanks for all your welcome comments. Atb Graham 👍

[@stephenb9400]

By the way YOU INSPIRE ME FOR MY OWN LAYOUT. TRULY AMAZING THANK YOU.... sorry about that shouldn't shout but so happy for you I'm looking forward to seeing you again please. By the way your voice is great.

[@WHP1980s]

Voice sounds like it's coming out my boots at the moment.😁 glad I can inspire, that is the main reason for me doing this channel. Cheers 👍

[@ginskimpivot753]

Top-notch entertainment, as usual. Nice job. Be nice if you could fit in a train-cam sequence at some point, Graham. It's awesome to feel like you're inside a layout like this, with so much detail.

[@WHP1980s]

Thanks, I have done train cam footage in the past, but maybe it's time to do a bit more in a future update. Thanks for watching and commenting, cheers 👍

[@dragon-junction-MK2]

So pleased your on the mend and sounding better Graham. And what a lovely update Graham. Them bill boards look great.

[@WHP1980s]

Many thanks Al, hopefully I'll shake your hand next weekend. Might sanitise it for you first though. 😉 Feeling 90% OK now, atb Graham 👍

[@martynbuzzing3327]

The detailing is amazing, Graham. Very realistic and so much to see.

[@WHP1980s]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the update. Cheers Graham 👍

[@barryturner2916]

Hi Graham its the little details that make all the difference. Billboards look great and like the stand you have made for them to seat on your platforms. Have a wonderful time at GETS I'm going to my local (Folkestone) exhibition this weekend so can't afford two on the bounce, take care cheers for now Barry...

[@WHP1980s]

Cheers Barry, I'm at Sudbury model railway exitbition right now. Enjoying the sun outside the event with a bacon roll. Railways and bacon rolls heaven eh. Cheers Graham 👍

[@stephenb9400]

Last bit I'm a person who is friends less in my ideas of fun for example model railway i wish I had people with your compassion for the modeling experience near me.

[@WHP1980s]

The online community is certainly a place to start. I'm not a member of any club myself. That may change when I retire if I can find a club that's not stuffy if you no what I mean.

[@stephenb9400]

@@WHP1980s yeah I know. I'm in Southport Merseyside. Not much here

[@theeventhorizon-valebridge9512]

With a bit of adaptation Graham, you can extend the gantry's width by splicing two lengths together (well, 2x2 lengths joined as each cross-member is made of two sections). I did this on my layout when I needed to span 5 or 6 tracks. I've taken the plunge with HM7000 sound decoders too now, having gained the knowledge and confidence from your previous video. As you've discovered, they do only work properly with the power banks, otherwise they keep cutting out, try to restart and do strange things! I must say, apart from the setting up glitches sometimes, they are super decoders for the price. I do the setting up without the power bank attached to the decoder initially, and then plug it in when the decoder is sound programmed and ready. This makes it easy because during the sound downloads you have to un-power it a couple of times, which is really awkward with the stay alive fitted.The Hornby speaker does sound good once sealed in the supplied holder/enclosure, mainly the biggest one.. Just make sure it's fitted airtight in the enclosure. Roads and Rails do some mega bass mini speakers 20x20x7mm which fit in the Bachmann 37s and 47s and sound pretty good too, not pricey either! Anyway Graham, I hope you fully recover soon and thank you for this episode update, great stuff. Regards Julian

[@WHP1980s]

Thanks for all that feedback Julian, great to hear you're getting on well will the hm7000 system. Do often source speakers from roads and rails. Got all different speakers in my loco's, usually the biggest I can fit in. Only stuck with one large Hornby speaker in my A1 Pacific. Doesn't sound great but not much room for anything else. The best speaker I've found so far is a mega bass, but it is too big for most loco's. Atb Graham 👍

[@theeventhorizon-valebridge9512]

@@WHP1980s I tend to only use the HM7000 locos set to DCC once programmed as the appt seems to be a bit glitchy at times with multiple locos operating. Yes indeed, I know the large megabass one you mean, square with the metal shiny cone. I managed to get one in a Heljan class 47, with some server sanding off along the edges, rounding them to fit against the body shell's roof. I fitted it together with a Hornby TTS and believe it or not it is the best sounding loco I have, it sounds incredible! You'd never know a class 47 could sound so good with a deep rumbling bass undertone. It truly transforms it. Cheers matey.

[@stephenb9400]

Just had to add a possible idea about rubbish.. rubbish isn't all fresh some are decomposing so as to look like they are older than the rest of the rubbish which means the council is not doing their job properly.

[@WHP1980s]

Certainly worth taking on board. Cheers👍
