Pete Waterman's at Christmas 2015

[@100SteveB]

No matter how many times i watch videos of this layout, i always spot something that i had not seen before. So much hard work has been put into the models and layout, always a pleasure to watch.

[@DaveCooper36b]

+100SteveB : The guys are working on the layout almost every Sunday, they are all experts in different fields, so combined they can turn their hand to anything....I am in awe of them. All I do is go along and film them doing what they do, so if people (like you for instance) find the videos interesting, then that boosts my ego to carry on. So thank you very much for the comment.....appreciated.

[@SimonsShed]

An enjoyable watch as always, some fantastic locos on show!

[@DaveCooper36b]

+Simons Shed : Many thanks for the comment, and I agree with you regarding the locos....the quality of 7mm is outstanding.

[@brianparkes9749]

Another great video. They just get better and better!!

[@DaveCooper36b]

+Brian Parkes : Thank you so much for this brilliant comment, I really appreciate it.....many thanks indeed.

[@DD1942]

Nice video again Dave.... good to see Tudor Minstrel up running again. It is an amazing layout, every time is different. Great rake of old Gresley stock.. Haven't seen Prince Palatine since the late 50's. Thanks again... regards Dave.

[@DaveCooper36b]

+DD1942 Thank you 1942 (Dave), like you, I was pleased to see the A3. I used to sit on St. James's Bridge Doncaster, in the mid 50's to very early 1960's, watching all the pacifics on the East Coast Main Line, wonderful day's. Thank you for taking the time to comment.....cheers.

[@skoorbyrret4578]

Superb video, it gives me an inspiration to do more on my own layout, thanks for posting & a big thanks to Pete for allowing us to see his layout.

[@DaveCooper36b]

+skoorb yrret : This kind of comment pleases Pete Waterman and the guy's the most. If by allowing me to film the layout, inspires people like you (and others) to build your own layout....then this is what it all about. Thank you so much for your your comment.

[@glo41f]

Thank you so much for another great film. It just gets better! I always look for the new developments on the line and your films have shown over the years just how much has been accomplished. I know some of the chaps involved and they are some of the best in the hobby. Thank you Dave and thanks also to PW for letting you loose on his train set! Martin Long

[@DaveCooper36b]

+glo41f : I agree, they are all a really great bunch of guy's, and I am amazed in their knowledge....of both the railways, and the modelling. I feel very privileged to be involved. Thank you for this wonderful comment.

Watching trains run on Leamington is always an absolute pleasure. It is such a stunning layout with little details all over the place. Great video Dave and I loved the intro - pretty professional I think. Some of the angles - just outstanding. You could sell a calendar with the stills. Thanks for the share mate.

[@DaveCooper36b]

+André Walter : What can I say for a wonderful comment like this. Thank you so much for being so positive on your remarks regarding my photography......sincerely.....thank you. I can tell you I am not a professional, just someone who enjoys video editing, and taking photographs as a hobby. Comments like this just inspire me to try and continue to better than the last one.......

[@percomotion]

Great video Dave locos are superb mate credit to the builders,some wonderful shots at the end. Kev

[@DaveCooper36b]

+percomotion : Thank you Kev for the comment, the models are fantastic.

[@LettuceTrains]

Another great video! I am really glad that you are making videos of Pete Waterman's layout, its so fascinating watching it being built. -Lettuce :D

[@DaveCooper36b]

+Lettuce Trains : Thank you, and of course I am pleased you are enjoying the videos, and shall continue to film Pete's layout as long as he will let me.

[@matthewsnowdenshunterguy3352]

[@andybyrne50]

Very good,my father used to run the Dmu service between leamington spa and Stratford on Avon,which if I remember was a bubble car !

[@DaveCooper36b]

+andybyrne50 : Thank you, and I am pleased you enjoyed the video, and of course any memories it may have stirred.

[@GregPalmer1000]

As usual great video of an excellent layout, seemed to be a shortage of lmr pass stock at first 46201 with only 4 x lms coaches.

[@LeShark75]

Another cool update David, I could sit in that room all day. Re sharing the video, you can brand the video with a small thumbnail in the bottom corner. That also acts as a link to your KZbin page too. You can access that setting in the Branding settings, if you're interested. Thanks for another great vid.

[@DaveCooper36b]

+LeShark75 : That is very interesting information, and I shall have a look at that....thank you. Of course, thank you also for taking the time to comment.

[@LeShark75]

+Dave Cooper No problem David. No doubt, along with the rest of the viewer's, I always look forward to the updates.

[@kevintregunna]

Well Dave a superb video some nice shots of the Westerns must get on and do a bit more to mine but got the scenery bug at the minute not enough hours in the day !! Like the Deltic on the teaks Cheers Kevin

[@DaveCooper36b]

+kevintregunna : You are doing a fantastic job with your own layout Kevin, to say you have to do everything all on your own.....you have got my respect. You are a very busy man, but still take time to watch and comment on my videos, so I thank you very much for that.

[@davegower6919]

What a cracking way to spend Christmas and I wasn't invited because??????? Some lovely locos there. The Black 5's were excellent though I think they could pull more than 4 coaches even double headed. LOL. It was good to see a Western steamer pulling a Western diesel, very prototypical. Was the Duchess loco your one? Does all that DCC sound drive you mad after a while? It must get quite noisy there. As always a great video and thanks for sharing.

[@DaveCooper36b]

+Dave Gower : Yes the sound chips do drive you mad after a while, which of course they are then turned off. The Duchess is not mine, the A2 is mine. Sorry about your invite going missing !!!!! But thank you for your comment.

[@trainmanbob]

A very good new year to all the folk. Another superb video, David. Although never complete, how close is this now to completion? Cheers, Bob

[@DaveCooper36b]

+trainmanbob : thank you for that, and in answer to your question.....it will never be completed. What would everyone do on a Sunday !!!

[@trainmanbob]

+Dave Cooper You could offer your services going around filming other folks layouts lol. Cheers, Bob

[@DaveCooper36b]

+trainmanbob : Maybe if I was younger, but not at my age now.

[@duckman5642]

that blue little car looked good, who made it? great vid, thankyou.

[@DaveCooper36b]

+Duck Man : I think you are able to buy it "off the shelf" so to speak. It is modeled on Ivo Peters Bentley.

[@clivehill2095]

Keep them coming! Any likelihood of an 'open day'?

[@DaveCooper36b]

+Clive Hill : I doubt it......sorry, as it is on his personal property.

[@FeckHallBahn]

Great video of a model to aspire to, big time, although I only have room for N. Apologies if this question has been asked before, but is that Ivo Peters' Bentley I spotted??

[@DaveCooper36b]

+Nigel Braithwaite :You are quite right, it is Ivo Peters Bentley....well done. Thank you for your comment, it is appreciated.

[@GrahamDay]

A great film on a lovely layout. What editing software do you use Dave?

[@DaveCooper36b]

+Graham Day : Cheers for the comment. The editing software I use is Corel VideoStudio Ultimate X7.....and it is fantastic. I don't get any rewards for recommending this product, but it really is the best as I have tried several.

[@christopherdavey3246]

Dave Cooper Hi Dave, Pete and guys must be very happy with their progress. I have been working on ballesting my layout of thr narrow gauge Lynton and Barnstaple. Every day I have something to do.Waiting for engines to arrive,bit of a delay as they are coming from China and there is great demand for them.Thanks for the videos I am watching them often. Chris.

[@DaveCooper36b]

Thank you Graham, the software I use is the best on the market (in my opinion of course), and that is Coral VideoStudio X10 Ultimate. It looks as if I have already answered this question, and had X7 at the time.

[@DaveCooper36b]

Pete WEaterman's layout ih around 15 years in the making now.....and still not finished, and that is with lots of help. So plod on Chris, and enjoy what you do.

[@MotoCrazy66]

Redemption, after all that terrible music in the late 80s!

[@GregPalmer1000]

As usual great video of an excellent layout, seemed to be a shortage of lmr pass stock at first 46201 with only 4 x lms coaches.

[@DaveCooper36b]

+Greg Palmer : Yes there was a shortage of stock, as you say 46201 is quite capable of pulling much more than that. Still nice to watch though......lovely model.
