Brooklyn Park Layout build update Number 21

[@DrDinnerTable]

Sophie at Anoraks is amazing, she always has great deals and great stock. Glad you enjoyed Port Washington Terminal, I’ll be sure to pass it on to the club your kind words.

[@thebritishrailroader]

She is lovely and remembered me on the second day, though I did keep buying from her😆. Port Washington is amazing so please do let the club know 👍

Think Ahead, think Southern,,,,

[@thebritishrailroader]

I will 😀

...and yes, the PW 4005 has flashing ditch lights. Sorry!

[@EmperorsPath]

lovely haul from the show dude, the providence and Worchester loco looks lovely!

[@thebritishrailroader]

Not bad eh! I didn't expect to find so much to be honest. The P&W loco is very nice indeed

Great video as always. My recommendation for the backdrop building with the fire escape that you think looks out of place is to place some smaller buildings around it. You could essentially have buildings that look very far away behind that blue building. Takes a lot of playing around to get it to look right. I printed buildings of varying sizes and then used scotch tape to play around with how they look. I went to Google earth and looked around Brookyn for MY Brooklyn layout. This process took me weeks to finally settle on what I think looked OK. Keep up the great work

[@thebritishrailroader]

Thanks. I was thinking that but will give it a try this weekend. Watch this space 👍

[@AroundTheLayout]

It's awesome that you have the PW 4005 on your layout. One of my favorites!

[@thebritishrailroader]

Amazing that I managed to get your favourite locomotive. I love the colours. I think I saw it had not long been repainted into the awful G&W orange unless I am mistaken. Thanks for the info about the ditch lights. Once I get a decent decoder fitted I will set that up 👍

An enjoyable update, Steve. Looks like that loco was a real bargain. It's good to see it running. My grandson is up tomorrow, so who knows? He might make a start on a new Dylington video, and I'm sure he'll film the Dylington Custard Billboard sign that Scale Model Scenery has made based on our layout. We just had to have one on our layout. We're looking forward to your next update and seeing how you're getting on ... Cheers, James 🙂👍

[@thebritishrailroader]

Thanks mate. I forgot to give him a shout out on the channel. Will try and remember for next time

[@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY]

@thebritishrailroader no worries. Hopefully, he'll get a new video sorted soon 😁👍

[@Benjamintrains]

Very nice update once again! Your sticker is on the Perri Central Railroad Bulletin here in Phoenix Arizona!

[@thebritishrailroader]

Thanks

[@MichaelThornton13]

Awesome video Steve 🎉

[@thebritishrailroader]

Cheers mate

[@ThePWMRR]

Nice P&W locomotive

[@thebritishrailroader]

Thanks 👍

[@csxrensville5105]

Nice loco. You can give it spin on Rensville. I've been invited to Southend show next August (2025). Keep the date clear cause your on operating duties. 😃

[@thebritishrailroader]

Oh fantastic. I will definitely take you up on that. Looking forward to seeing you

[@SouthBrooklynRR]

Looking really great, where did you get the background buildings?

[@thebritishrailroader]

Thanks. I am assuming you mean the blue one? These are 2 low relief kits by Walthers. One is Lauston Shipping and the other Buds Trucking. I have adapted them a bit to fit my space.

[@clivewilkinson6076]

Hi Steve. That white truck sitting behind your loco and also in shot at 7.00 min in. who makes that? I have spent ages looking for an HO logging truck, sort of 40s to 60s era. No luck whatsoever so far.

[@thebritishrailroader]

Hi Clive. It is a Walthers Scenecraft HO International 4900 dual axle semi tractor. They are quite modern era so won't really fit into your time era
