Budget model railways AND model minutes in the same video?!? What a crossover!

[@ModelMinutes]

Haha! Small World :P

[@NixTrains]

BMR is making wonderful kits for those on budget. Must appreciate them...

[@ModelMinutes]

Yes, i've certainly enjoyed these ones

[@NixTrains]

@@ModelMinutes I am wondering if they cld come up with some thing like the Rosebud/ Kitmaster/ Dapol non motorized kits. As the Kitmaster sterling single is beautiful but too old for its age to run on tracks smoothly...

[@ModelMinutes]

@@NixTrains You mean with wheels that rotate? I think they looked at it but it was deemed too complicated for the printer they have, and would not give you a smooth rolling product

[@NixTrains]

@@ModelMinutes yes wld have been nice if 3D wld allow this. (Wasn't aware of the difficulty untill u pointed this out). Then maybe other than the wheels- wld be nice to build a BMR sterling loco shell & chassis...

[@MOS6510Models]

its amazing how far these 3d printed models have come..

[@ModelMinutes]

Oh yes, I'm tempted to get a 3d printer myself :P

[@MOS6510Models]

@@ModelMinutes i just havent seen one cheap enough that produces quality pieces... but im am looking myself

[@marsbar7099]

@@ModelMinutes great idea lol!

[@kevinhale9400]

Very striking colour scheme, classy. All in all a nice model. I'm a fan of Budget Model Railways and it's nice to see an alternative view of their models.

[@ModelMinutes]

Glad you like it!

I got one of these about a year ago, really simple model to put together but like you said, takes ages for polycement to bond with it... I ended up putting a load of filler in the gaps & trimming off some bits, added some others. Tried to make it look like a LNER Y6. Their kits are really good for the price, I've recently got some oo9 rolling stock which I've got no real complaints with, the gaps are less noticeable/ non-existent with their oo9 (& I presume N gauge) stuff. Really do recommend their stuff, excited to see where they go in the future; they are cornering a section of the model railway market that isn't catered for, people who want to do it on a budget & not spend £100 a pop on a new loco...

[@ModelMinutes]

I agree! I might get some of their stuff for my own personal use as time progresses :D

[@johnkelley9877]

Great finish on the model Matt! The kit looks good and it has nice detailing too. Thanks for sharing this.

[@ModelMinutes]

Thanks for watching!

[@andrewoconnor5108]

Really interesting build Matt. Might give one of these a go. Thanks.

[@ModelMinutes]

Go for it!

[@pietersnackaert]

Well done painting!

[@ModelMinutes]

Thanks!

[@JPoulAndersson]

Nice paint job with the gloss varnish and everything, looks great! I have the Rapido J70 which is lovely but of course manyfold more expensive. Rgds, Joachim

[@ModelMinutes]

Thanks for watching!

[@wwkdiecastmore5647]

Great looking tram, well done!....Bill

[@ModelMinutes]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jackiehankin3859]

Mine went together well and looks great runs lovely as well

[@ModelMinutes]

Fantastic!

[@patrickwebb7311]

That looks really nice, good job with the paint scheme. I hope to get one at some point in the future.

[@ModelMinutes]

Go for it!

[@itsowen2113]

Hi Matt can I just ask what shop you got the cheap spray paint from?

[@ModelMinutes]

it was something like poundland . . .

[@itsowen2113]

Model Minutes thanks. I’ll have to have a look when it is open 😀

[@jacobswrld8251]

Hey, I was wondering if you could help me out. I currently building a Type 90 tank and where the bottom half and the top half of the Tank are joined there is a large gap, what do you recommend I do

[@ModelMinutes]

You can use some model filler to hide the gap

[@Smk_spotting]

Noice

[@ModelMinutes]

:D

[@marsbar7099]

Nice painting! Wish I got free kits too :(

[@ModelMinutes]

I do get some occasionally from various manufacturers for the purpose of review. I did have to send these ones back to BMR when they are done though so that they can use/display them however they want. If you develop your channel a bit more i'm sure some companies might be willing to send you some review samples. I don't make a habit of asking for free stuff, more often than not the companies approach me (which I think is the right way to go)

[@paulbolton1071]

Hi Matt I’m a beginner to model railways and I watch budget model railways quite often and have learned from doing so ? It’s my intentions to build my first layout in N gauge please can you tel me will there be buildings such as churches , stations etc in N gauge 🤔. Paul

[@ModelMinutes]

Sadly I don't know about that - would be worth asking BMR directly

[@alanrobertson7217]

It looks as though more work was needed on the parts to get a better fit, especially the roof. For the money, probably not bad.

[@ModelMinutes]

It does need a little work, but if you put some time into it you'll get a nice loco :)

[@yemmel9761]

Is this a j70?

[@ModelMinutes]

I think it's based on one, but it's effectively its own design

[@SOUFoamer1307]

You should do the dapol British railways mogel model

[@ModelMinutes]

Thanks for the suggestion! I've already built the Pug and the Schools locos, i've got the Rocket in the stash too

[@ModelMinutes]

Yup!

[@sglenny001]

Matt can I ask you to or give idea and do a QnA

[@ModelMinutes]

Thanks! I was thinking of doing a Q&A for 10K subs

[@DarksouIjah]

I love that idea.

[@lifestyleunleashed8046]

I sent you a message on your Facebook page. I would love you to try one of our Enwin's 3d Models 3d printed loco builds

[@ModelMinutes]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@ImmortalAbsol]

Toby what happened.

[@ModelMinutes]

:P

[@paulnicoll7431]

That's not a tram. A tram is a vehicle designed to carry passengers ie, horse,steam, electric or even internal combustion. The model is a tram locomotive

[@ModelMinutes]

That's interesting, thanks for sharing. It's still a pretty neat little train though
