[@paulmcmanus9408]

Your trackwork and signalling is superb. Very nice layout indeed.

[@davidl1232002]

I love these films. Brilliant

[@lnwrcrookstreet9954]

Thanks David

[@galahadthreepwood9394]

I like the speed you run your engines, much more realistic than others I have seen.

[@lnwrcrookstreet9954]

Thanks Galahad (wonderful name!), yeah it's something I'm keen on.

You’re attention to detail is a amazing loved the nighttime scenes inside the shed and the shining rails looking towards the station I have no railway but build models of LNWR prototypes this must be one of the most accurate reproductions i have ever seen absolutely superb model thanks Les

[@1BCamden]

Love prototypical movements, thanks for sharing

[@lnwrcrookstreet9954]

Thanks 1b...

[@amraceway]

I have thought for those close up cab shots a bit of movement from the cab crew would look good. This could be achieved by mounting the crew on some thin sponge rubber or dry mounting the figures by drilling a hole in one leg and supergluing a smaller diameter piece of piano wire in the cab floor so the figures can wobble.Just a thought. A truly magnificent and evocative layout you have constructed. Your weathering is peerless.

[@lnwrcrookstreet9954]

Thanks Bill, yeah the eye overlooks model figure frozen motion in real life but it sticks out like a sore thumb in a movie.

Been a while but worth the wait.

[@lnwrcrookstreet9954]

Cheers Widey!

Make a brew get some biscuits ,and spend some time transporting at Crook St ...magic !

[@lnwrcrookstreet9954]

Nice! That's what I do too!

[@michealmatthews9377]

love to her you mention all the places connected with the railway, i walk the route going up to plodder lane nearly every day, its a footpath now of course.

[@lnwrcrookstreet9954]

It would be good but it would probably fill a video all of its own and I'd need to learn a lot more about local history. Fascinating though. ATB

There is nothing nicer than settling down with a cup of tea and watching the trains come and go at Crook Street. Was the 0-6-0 tender engine at the beginning a Ramsbottom DX? I do like the Deansgate yard and I hope we shall see more of it. I love all the North Western rolling stock, and I particularly like the Cheshire Lines coaches. Your films are beautifully put together, and I look forward to the next one.

[@lnwrcrookstreet9954]

Thanks Roderic, the 0-6-0 is a Webb Coal Engine, his first design independent of Ramsbottom, the DXs had larger wheels 5'2". ATB

I saw a video,very current,and it seems that the CLC,is very much alive,in some out of the way areas! George Dow,would be proud,that there are still places,where the old MS&L/GCR are still operating! Mr. Dow,wrote a 3 volume history of the GCR,and its worth reading,as that company had more joint operations with practically everybody that you could think of,including the LNWR,MR,GNR,GWR,L&Y,and even were involved with the Channel Tunnel! Ah,history,and Crook Street,just barely touches on the outer fringes! Thank you for your attention ☺️! Thank you 😇 😊!!

[@lnwrcrookstreet9954]

Hi Robert, yeah the CLC was fascinating. From a modelling perspective, it provides an excuse to run all sorts of different trains.

[@peterwhyte-zl1kv]

The people are really lifelike!

[@lnwrcrookstreet9954]

They're Modelu figures, they're scans of real people so they're really good, bit pricey though.

The Wigan Coal and Iron Company: an industrial giant, in its day. The fused slag from its blast furnaces still lies on the reclaimed site of the works.

[@lnwrcrookstreet9954]

Thanks Coniston, I guess that would be Ince Iron Works? Fine hill in your channel name!

[@peterjackson6547]

Remarkable

[@lnwrcrookstreet9954]

Thanks Peter
