Beasts from the East - The Yorkshire Dales Model Railway

[@PaulSmith-fl3sk]

I never get bored with that opening shot looking toward the tunnel as the train approaches the station. Awesome mate.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Paul 😀

[@stephenmcdonald7908]

Another wonderful video, I can almost smell the steam and soot.👍

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@euanjt30]

Point rodding adds extra realism - superb layout !

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@ModelTrainOutsider]

And still a wonder and joy to behold on the 4K TV!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

That’s the way to watch! 👍🏻

[@davemitchell9941]

Watching these I keep finding myself still taking in the scenery. Obviously creating at atmospheric railway was not restricted to ol Brunel. Good vid as ever, thankyou.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Dave!

[@colwichjunction3366]

Lovely stuff, I feel like I’ve been transported to a better time & place… Cheers John b😎

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks John 👍🏻

[@stephendavies6949]

Yes, I feel the same.

[@johnlunnun9769]

Thank you Lewis, I’m watching a real railway again! Transporting stuff in every sense of the word!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks John!

[@stevenperry7493]

Another great video Lewis ,as always interesting with beautiful eye level shots ,& seeing your older locos working just made it that bit more interesting .Big thankyou .😊

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Steven

[@dave1966red]

Truly Awesome in EVERY way ...... Incredible layout with attention to detail that is second to none !!! Your videography is excellent with choice of locations from which its shot making it even more special. This is then further enhanced with top class professional editing. With a sound track that pops the "cherry 🍒 on top" - the result is one of the very best and truly atmospheric model railway videos I've seen in a very long time. I have to close by applauding you for your scenery, landscaping and scale modelling of your buildings, structures, locomotives and rolling stock. Many years of love and affection have clearly been dedicated to creating this outstanding layout. A true masterpiece 👌🏻

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks very much Dave 😀

[@tonyslight826]

Hi Lewis Great to see tank loco's and smaller O.6.O locos in action with goods wagons great stuff Lewis well done and thank you.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Cheers Tony 👍🏻

[@BrianTuckerRailvideos]

Very enjoyable all….Lewis ,unfortunately you have a certain person who continues to add rivet counting rubbish after your hard work in the comments,won’t mention any names.Carry on what your doing 😊

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Ha thanks Brian, always appreciate it 👍🏻

[@jacqueso8424]

Who's the rivet counter😮 Anyway lovely and delightful video as usual. Unexpected turn of events i anticipated the goods consist to de drawn away after the run around, you had the mail train hooked up instead😂. This is what makes it worthwhile to watch and also actually make the content and post it. Forget i asked about the rivet counter no one to worry about😂😂

[@BrianTuckerRailvideos]

@@jacqueso8424 somebody on here who likes the video and yet criticises the way it’s filmed and the sequences,Lewis works hard to create these clips and well deserved acclaim,just enjoy the video,after checking out the individual I see where it’s coming from.

[@frankfeely9235]

i like all the different angle shots of the departures and arrivals, nice to see the different perspectives.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you very much!

[@alexmorgan2296]

Stunning, as always. And I’m still in awe of the scenery too!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Alex 👍🏻

[@michaelkoppen3263]

Another brilliant video Lewis,well done.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@micksavage]

Excellent video, many thanks again for showing operations on the layout. i know how much editing these videos take!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@TERRYBARTLETTRAILMAN28]

Brilliant I guess it won't be long before we see an A4 in BR Green or blue plus an A3 as well hauling expresses

[@hollybushrailway]

Great work as always! This channel and your beautiful layout was one of the things that got me wanting to get back into model railways as a hobby, so thank you for all the inspiration!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks! That’s great to hear, glad you enjoy the videos.

[@ChobertonJunction]

Great to see the loco's running. Amazing work all round.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank You 👍🏻

[@ralphdavey7303]

Another enjoyable video. Thank you. Always relaxing to watch your videos.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Ralph 👍🏻

[@Lilbro28]

Absolutely love this channel and the layout, I inspire to have one like that, however don't have the space so either run on carpet or wood usually. Would love to see some of the rest of the line because it's amazing

[@mauracurran6500]

I love your videos, so relaxing and your scenery is fantastic.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks, glad you like them!

[@alastairwilson457]

Lovely stuff as ever Lewis, thanks!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

[@onnomulder9775]

Another great video Lewis!! Thanks for sharing. Cheers Onno.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Onno 👍🏻

[@antmerritt]

Ey up! What a great day out! Big surprise to see so many eastern region locos at work today! 😁 Bit concerned though, it looks like that L1 at the beginning had an issue with the trailing bogie. Could develop into a hot box and putting her out of service! 😮 I do hope the driver has spotted it and taken care of it! 🫤 Those old open back cabs! The crew must have been “reet nithered “ going in reverse on some of those Pennine routes! Lovely day lad, thanks for bringing us along. 😁👍👊😎

[@chrisbradshaw1144]

Love the camerawork. Very atmospheric and realistic. Beautiful layout Spotted the tardis too 😉

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks!

[@cameronpatterson1045]

Hi Lewis from Glasgow thanks for the great video 📹 and keep up the good work you do enjoy your Hobby and thanks again for the video

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Cameron!

[@railwaymechanicalengineer4587]

Time 67722 had a "Light Intermediate". Either that or it was a very frosty morning !! As the rear trailing bogie wheels were definitely in "Skid mode" running into the station. Happy modelling🤥

[@ComengProductions]

Great video mate! Wonderful to see the K1 locomotive, one I own and can say is a great model. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks! Yes one of my favourites as well!

[@sydwoods.woodsendjunction9492]

Superb video Lewis great sounds from those magnificent engines on your super amazing layout luved it thanks for posting a t b syd👍

My Friday night is always improved by a visit to Missel Thwaite.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Cheers Mark 👍🏻

[@ianroper1960]

Nice video, brilliant scenic work. Hope you can get that back wheel sorted.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks! That loco has pick ups on the rear ponie truck which makes them a bit stiff

[@phil36310]

A great video and nicely edited Lewis ! Love the choice of engines - especially the J15. A lovely little 'beast' and superb runner from Hornby as is the K1. I have several of each on my roster (sitting in boxes for the moment ). Some of Hornby's best. Thanks for sharing & happy model railroading ! Cheers, Filip

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Filip 😀

[@johnbrown9092]

Nice video Mr Mouldy. Every now and then the rear wheels of my 56XX decide to stop. I just give the maintenance fitter a good talking to! Cheers John. 😊

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks John!

[@jappedut9009]

A steam engine arriving tender first that is new and I love it ❤❤❤

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Glad you liked it 😀

[@modelrailwaybackshop]

So one thing I've noticed is that the trailing truck has a wheelset that sticks, might need a stiffer spring to put more weight on it to get it to roll better or need to lubricate it heavier with some Oil.

[@_RandomPea]

Still dont know how you cut those wills sheets so well for the platforms 😂 that baffles me... I'm using the brick one and its so brittle! Never tire of watching these Lewis great to see. The sounds always make them even better aswell. Must take ages to pull them together. Quite fun when ive done a few shorts but to do a whole running sessions really impressive. Keep mouldy 🎉

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks mate - always appreciate it 😀

[@stephendavies6949]

Being a resident of "the East" (ie, living 8 miles from Lowestoft, the most easterly town in the country) I was very curious to see what locos you'd selected, and was not disappointed, especially by the ex-GER J15: you couldn't get more "Eastern" than that! J15s used to ply their trade through my town (Bungay) until the line closed in the 1960s. A very enjoyable video. Thanks.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you enjoyed it - thanks!

[@stevenkarnisky411]

Well, I was going to mention the difficulty with your trailing truck, but many commenters already have pointed it out, so I will not mention it. The weathering on your locomotives gives them the "look" of reality. Our mind sees a leviathan dragging many tons along the rails, rather than a fist size contraption af plastic and metal! As always, excellent content, Lewis.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Steven - appreciate it!

[@LyntreeTown20132]

brilliant layout - I also noticed the rear wheel on the first engine clip wasnt rotating properly especially in reverse

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks 👍🏻 Yeah that loco has pick ups on those wheels so they’re a bit stiff

[@johnkerr1953]

When l saw this video at the start, l thought it was real then as video started l noticed there was no smoke from the engine, also the cows weren't moving, but for all that it was an excellent video.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

cool vid

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@OlivierGabin]

As a fan of the LNER, I'm extremely happy by your pick : the L1, my favorite overall British tank engine, a superb J15 in action, the branchline queen for me... And if you ends with a K1, that's the complete package ! A great moment with ex-LNER engines, and the best ones ! Just missing a B1 to be nitpicky, but why not as a star in a 4-6-0 special ?

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Olivier, glad you liked it!

[@charliegould5865]

In some angles of the video apart from no smoke and steam you could be looking at the real thing, ok sometimes the camera movement gave it away as well. But what detail, great looking model.

[@Guitar6ty]

Had a 00 gauge layout in the loft in the 1980s but this one is miles ahead of that.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Maybe time to start a new one 😉

[@paulbache3940]

67722 has stiff pony truck wheels !😉

[@MouldyRaspberry]

It does! It’s those pesky pick ups on the ponie truck

[@TiasVsEverything]

Love your work. May I request you consider putting the names/numbers/classes of your locos in the description? Would help a lot not having to look stuff up during the vids. :)

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks! Yes, I will do 👍🏻

[@TiasVsEverything]

@@MouldyRaspberry marvellous. Thank you. Love your content. I look forward to learning slightly more through them. :)

[@balforitown4274]

Love this layout, Detail is fantastic, Can I ask just how big this layout is ?regards Drew 👍

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks 👍🏻 The scenic section is 12 feet.

[@RobA500]

Had some sticky rear wheels at the beginning mr mouldy, but great stuff as usual 👍

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Rob 👍🏻 Yeah the L1 has pick ups on the rear ponie truck which makes them a bit stiff - not the best design

[@955trainboy]

Fantastic. You make railway modelling fun and look easy. How old were you when you built your very first layout?.

[@athonysmith56]

Where do you get your stem sounds from they are very good

[@gabbarrf1745]

How many locomotive do you currently own and are they all steam?

[@MouldyRaspberry]

I think about 25 steam and two deisels

[@Madonsteamrailways]

Gorgeous layout!! Where do you keep it? In the loft or in a shed in the garden?

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks! In my converted loft 👍🏻

[@Madonsteamrailways]

@@MouldyRaspberry Lovely!! I’m trying to get my loft converted into my layout room!! It’s a great thing to have!!

[@Railway-Junction29]

Just wondering where did you buy those station platforms from

[@MouldyRaspberry]

I made the out of foam board, plaster and Wills plastic stone sheets.

[@Railway-Junction29]

Cheers

[@Madonsteamrailways]

And what makes those locomotives the Beasts from the East? Are they LNER locomotives on an LMS line?

[@MouldyRaspberry]

They are indeed 👍🏻

[@caryhocker]

Hey, I'm a Yank who wants to learn more about British Railways. The last train, that picked up - what I think may have been livestock wagons - but which also included a couple of coaches on the end, and third from end - what type of train was this? Did British Railways run mixed goods/passenger local trains the way some American railroads did? I appreciate any information you can give me on this.

[@lukewolsey]

That was a parcels train by the looks of it. The coaches were full brakes, so they don't have any seats in, just luggage space.

[@TallboyDave]

@@lukewolseyAnd space for the guard too, of course; that'd be the 'conductor' in American parlance.

[@Tinhat47]

Certain types of perishable items, like milk, were classed as express goods and were allowed to be attached (first as wagons hauling milk churns and later milk tanker wagons in the 1930s) at the end of passenger trains.

[@lukewolsey]

​@@TallboyDave oh yes and the symphony orchestra that was standard in BR MK1 full brakes. As everyone knows, the brake second opens were equipped with a string quartet due to the reduce space for the guard/conductor! 😂

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Yes as others have said, it’s meant to be a parcels train.

[@robertbate5790]

👍👍👍👍

[@MouldyRaspberry]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

Too many departure shots with the third engine, mate. Two would have been enough. The rear bogie on the tank engine's chassis needs some oil, it looks like. The back pair of trailing wheels isn't turning properly, I noticed. Otherwise, music to my ears.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Kelly 👍🏻

[@grumpyoldpianistplus]

A pity the 67 'hunted' and the rear pony wheel did not rotate: I presume it's another rubbish Hornby!?!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Yeah the Hornby L1s are a weird design, they have picked ups on the bogie which stiffens them a bit, but you can remove them easily if preferred. Personally I think Hornby’s B1, K1, Britannia, 2MT, 9F etc are some of the best steam models around 👍🏻

[@grumpyoldpianistplus]

@@MouldyRaspberry Thank you for the information.

[@johncarnex3087]

Is that a TARDIS at 1:45?

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Yes!
