[@simontrainsmodelrailway]

Bradwell Point, did enjoyed watching this exhibition layout.

[@HaroldRoad]

Thanks for the mention and for Junction Road TMD..so proud on how far you have come, superb modelling skills

[@GowertonParkway]

Thanks matey 💙

[@robertsleighton]

I love that back scene from Margam.... I live the other side of those shots.... looks great!!

[@ewoodrailway]

Very realistic looking layout and great commentary.

[@darrelldeltic807]

Brilliant Marcus! You’ve done a fantastic job there, will try and get to see it in Bognor Regis when it’s down our way, hope you enjoy showing off your creation for everyone to marvel at, cheers Dazza

[@RailwayModellerBen]

Bloody excellent Marcus, very enjoyable watch as per usual. Bradwell Point is simply one of the best or if not the best exhibition layout I’ve seen in a long while.. your scenery is very realistic - right colours of grass and bushes ect. I can’t say anything but it’s bloody amazing! Great to see a unique build of a Nuc Flask Terminal. Keep up the incredible work and look forward to seeing more on Bradwell Point and The Main Layout. - Ben

Railway Modeller Ben Cheers Ben 👍

[@DugmerJunction]

Nice update, that coupling info is very helpful, love the sound of the 20's! any chance they can visit Dugmer Junction one day :P

[@GowertonParkway]

The couplings are really cool. I will have to do a proper tutorial on them. I'm sure we can arrange a visit one day !

[@stmichaelshill7421]

I've been looking forward to this for a very long time! The pictures of the layout are stunning and it's great to see a video! Really nice to see it in lots of detail and I can't wait to see it in Swansea later in the year! Will be good to meet you too Marcus

[@GowertonParkway]

Look forward to meeting you in Swansea and thanks or being patient awaiting the update .

@@GowertonParkway I might actually be coming to Penarth now as well, so might see it even sooner! The video was worth the wait!

[@gazclass58]

Brilliant video love the exhibition layout 👍

[@JPoulAndersson]

Great to see Marcus, I was rather longing for another update ;-) Cheers, Joachim

[@leonbrown7107]

Will pop along to Penarth In July and have a look. Need to get on with my South Wales Freight Layout. Is this one now in rmweb?

[@GowertonParkway]

Leon Brown Hi Leon, I’ve kind of given up with RMWEB. I tend to use Facebook, Instagram & KZbin now.

[@geraldeade391]

Excellent model railway, I like it a lot

[@caseynightingalegoldsbury1599]

Absouletky superb exhibition layout got so many ideas from it and can’t wait for more main layout updates and looks if yo can do a superb exhibition layout you can do your main one like it keep up the great work

[@GowertonParkway]

casey nightingale goldsbury Cheers Casey. The loft needs bringing up to a similar standard .

[@CherrhamJunction]

Fantastic layout. Simple and effective. Nuclear sidings arent often modelled so its good to see something different as well.

[@AmazeTase]

Great work there fella. May I ask what brand and colour of grass you have used on siding please? They look spot on for a project Im doing! Cheers.

[@BrockwellLanemodelrailway]

I remember this as a favourite from the Quorn show but I didn't know it was owned by a fellow KZbinr. Its a work of art. Excellent modelling Cheers James

[@GowertonParkway]

Thanks James ! Yea - I meant to get this video out prior to the quorn show , but didn’t quite manage!!

[@robhorne3048]

Great work. I like the back scene.

[@ericshaw4018]

Nice little layout. Nuclear flasks run past where I live on their way to Sellafield. Usually in the charge of 68s and 88s.

[@ironknobsteelworks4063]

Love the back scene. That is the CAPL line at port Talbot steelworks. At break time I used to spent many hours on the high level balcony looking out at the class 66,s pulling the steel coil carriers.

[@GowertonParkway]

Iron knob Steelworks yea - I’m local so it made sense to go and create my own back scene !

[@tomroland2315]

Enjoyed seeing this layout. I'd have loved to have built something similar. Interestingly I have the PECO Setrack Planbook which features a nuclear flask siding however you could only obtain the flask wagon in kit form back then. They show the crane at the Trawsfynydd railhead and suggest modifying the Ratio kit to suit. However, cranes at other locations could well be different. Good tip about the Portakabins, they do look superb as does the backscene.

[@GowertonParkway]

Tom Roland I’ve not seen a plan for one in a peco book - would be interesting to see their interpretation. I used to have one of the genesis kits - in fact it was the first kit I ever built !!

[@tomroland2315]

@@GowertonParkway The PECO plans are for a twin loop layout with the siding as a feature rather than the main subject of interest. As a result it doesn't incorporate the detail your layout does.

[@mrhaggit]

Looking very nice! Had an idea that you could also run low level waste flasks on PFA containers too :)

[@GowertonParkway]

Kent Rail Fan oh yes ! Eagerly awaiting the accurascale release 😄

[@mrhaggit]

@@GowertonParkway indeed, i have made an attempt at a low level flask carrier by using bits and pieces such as freightliner containers and tta bases , looks ok with details on now :)

[@grays257]

A truley great layout, everything looks so natural, you've acheived just the right blend of colours everywhere. May I ask what brand and colours of matchpots you have used to acheive your concrete colour it looks so naturally weathered and not just grey, which it never is. Good luck in your new career. If you approach it like your modeling I don't really think you need any luck though. ......Graham

[@leonbrown7107]

Brilliant !

[@nigelcarter9503]

Nice update.

[@greghale9972]

Great layout, very enjoyable to watch. Cheers Greg

[@GowertonParkway]

Greg Hale Thanks Greg !

[@bigfella1952]

Great looking layout, good detail on how you built it in this and the previous video. Well detailed, weathered and sounding locoes. Another great video in your series. x The Bigfella x ps. On this type of flask wagons, are the complete flasks lifted onto road transport, Have you any plans to model unloaded flask wagons and loaded lorry transport. ?

[@GowertonParkway]

Hi there , so this particular flask point depicts a nuclear flask loading point . Prototypically , the flask containers which sit within the wagon are loaded via a crane onto the lorry . My plan is to model a lorry but I’m struggling to find the correct lorry cab .

[@onnomulder9775]

Awesome!!!! Cheers Onno.

[@SB-hg5sq]

Fantastic layout, watched it at the great electric train show and was really impressed. Didn't get a chance to ask any questions though. I love the track plan, it looks very prototypical, do you ever use it as a run round loop or is the siding with the vans in purely a headshunt, also what size is the layout? is the 6ft the total length? Many thanks. Steve

[@GowertonParkway]

It’s only ever used as a headshunt . There’s no facility to run round . Layout it 9*1.5 ( 6*1.5 scenic)

[@Jozda]

Great layout, looks brilliant. Most of if not all of the nuclear traffic now is all done by class 68, with the occasional 88. I think 37’s aren’t used at all unless they have no other traction

[@GowertonParkway]

Josh White Thanks josh . Shame it’s all 68s now !

[@Jozda]

Gowerton Parkway definitely is, I miss seeing the 37’s and 20’s on the flasks. DRS don’t even have any 20’s now which is a shame but times change

[@eddiebcfc1140]

What is the dimensions of the layout (scenic section)

[@GowertonParkway]

HO scale Miami Switching layout 6ft x 1.5ft

[@declanelsholtz9673]

How do people do wiring like this? I'm always restricted by patience, experience and no money to do DCC

[@GowertonParkway]

DCC doesn't have to be expensive or complicated.

[@declanelsholtz9673]

@@GowertonParkway I'm sure, but on a student budget it somehow seems to be. Especially when 2 of my locos are not DCC ready

[@jgilder436]

Hi Marcus. What size and colour ballast did you use?

[@GowertonParkway]

Woodland Scenics medium buff

[@alexhill9169]

Excellent layout, I cannot wait to see it at an exhibition. You said the layout is 6ft long is that 6ft scenic or including fiddle yard? And how wide? It's inspiring to see how quickly you've got this all together and at an exhibition, makes me want to do one, I love the idea of nuclear flask depots.

[@GowertonParkway]

Alex Hill Hi Alex . 6ft scenic , 1.5ft wide.

[@alexhill9169]

@@GowertonParkway thanks, it's an excellent layout. Hope to see it one day in person.
