Beechcroft Model Railway - #46. Shall We Begin?!?

#hornbyrailways , #modelrailways , #bachmann , #modeltrains , #oogauge
So….here we are. Finally time to start laying some track for the Goods yard! I’ve got all the track I need to create the basic design so no holding back now.
I know this could be an expensive project with all the buildings and additions needed so I might not get everything done as quickly as I would like but I can certainly get the track down and wired in. I guess then we’ll take it from there and see how far I can get.
I have ordered some low relief buildings which I’m looking forward to arriving - not used this style before but they do look good (well, I think so!). Hopefully I’ll be able to show these next week.
As always, Thanks for watching.

Who knew so much thought has to go into something a non railway modeller thinks how hard can it be? 😂 great progress 👏 👍

[@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt]

Ha. Thank you 😊

[@NewModelRailway1]

Very successful first trial I would say. Can't beat a busy goods yard. It looks great.

[@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt]

Thank you. Trying to work out what buildings to put in there now which is always good fun!! 👍

[@NewModelRailway1]

@@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt Your back scene screams agriculture so could I offer a suggestion of a creamery with milk vans and milk tankers in the sidings or maybe a few cattle pens with cattle wagons in the sidings.

[@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt]

Thanks. I did think about a cattle pen. Not considered a creamery/dairy but that could be interesting! 👍

[@johnstephens649]

Got to building the goods yard at last! Looks great progress.

[@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt]

At last!! Thank you 👍

[@jamesmackinlay2500]

I think you did very well with all the wiring. Well done you. Looking forward to seeing your next video.👍👍👍👍

[@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt]

Thank you very much 😊

[@rocknroll527]

Neat job, very nice.

[@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt]

Cheers! 👍

[@mels1811]

Excellent video

[@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt]

Thank you 👍

[@georgethomas7814]

Well done. Thats a really complicated 'little switch yard" It should make for some interesting train movements.

[@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt]

Thanks. I’m hoping so! 👍

[@delphjunction1168]

Hi Andy Fantastic job buddy. Love the way you did the track plan. Points working brilliantly. You have done the same as myself with the point switches, toggle switches work well for me. Great vlog buddy. ....Pete....

[@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt]

Cheers Pete. I like the toggle switches. Nice and simple - and that 8 bank of switches doesn’t need any soldering so a bonus!! Take care mate.

[@Amberlea-Model-Railway]

Some nice progress there Andy, look forward to the next installment. Chris

[@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt]

Thanks Chris. 👍

[@ianhughes-zf1ll]

Great video done brilliantly there I think you did a great job with the wiring I’m about to start some wiring on my first layout you made it look so easy

[@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt]

Thank you. I’m not very confident with soldering so try to find ways to avoid it if I can! 👍

[@kelvinVAUGHAN]

Yeah my nearest model shop is 40 miles away so order most of my stuff of Amazon. Even if i pay over the odds still cheaper than the fuel to go to the shop.

[@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt]

I’m with you on that👍

[@lms_steve6693]

Enjoyed that Andy as a fellow grandad (72) I need videos like this to keep me going at the hobby. all my boards are fixed down so you can imagine the problems with wiring on my back! BTW what point motors are you using?

[@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt]

That’s not fun! They are the basic gauge master seep motors 👍

[@CockneyRooster]

Done well mate looking really good enjoyed the video

[@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt]

Cheers matey! 👍
