[@A-Lovely-Bit-of-Kit]

The quality of the catenary is beyond words. Just stunning.

[@tompetty1880]

Absolutely stunning ‘fly on the wall’ documentaries. Thanks for posting such an intriguing insight into the continuing development of this amazing model railroad.

[@pitchforkcustom]

impressive stuff and great teamwork. 👍

[@Cookie2k]

Great video Dave - very much appreciate you taking the time to film it. Looking forward to the bookazine and seeing the layout at Milton Keynes!

[@nigelericogden3200]

You guys are amazing. Period. 👍👍👍

[@banksroadmodernimage7358]

Great work as always guys,im back onto making scratch build uk pylons and yard lighting towers..

[@chrisbailey9331]

I love watching these videos, I almost feel that I know all the lads. Great ‘workmate banter’, as always. Continued good luck with the project gentlemen!

[@davidstokes8441]

Your comment at 4:56 Pete is valid for all things - I say to my critics "I don't care what you say or think about me - frankly it's none of my business". It shuts criticism down immediately because the critic realises that I don't care what they think. It is a very liberating feeling.

[@petercoleman8870]

Again you guys have raised the bar,brilliant

[@CanleyCentral]

Excited to be able to view the train movements on Rail Cam / KZbin before visiting Chester the layout in August!

[@LiveSteamNick]

[@richardswiderski4985]

Great video Dave love the banter thst goes on.Fantastic layout it looks stunning cannot wait yo see it at Chester soon. Will it be all put together elsewhere after Milton Keynes?You guys have done a fantastic job.

[@Krislights1]

See you in Chester. Might bring a big camera.. and a proper gas soldering iron and a jeweller's reamer. K.👍🚂🚂🚂

[@Hascienda27]

What id give to be there

[@fatwalletboy2]

Surprised given the space that the crossovers werent hand built for longer high speed operstion....i feel the rtr points should have been option B. The layout is that long I cant see longer turnouts would have affected the operation. Other than that its come on great. Be good to see it all illuminated.

[@djburland]

It is a model. so compromise is essentail

[@Cookie2k]

A 90 minute preview Dave? Lol

[@DaveFenton]

Fixed :)

[@modelrailwaynoob]

I enjoy these videos but I have not been tempted to go and see the layout so far. These people would benefit from some proper programme management. They bicker far too much because of the lack of programme management.

[@DaveFenton]

I can understand why a casual observer might mistake bickering within the videos. What you are actually observing is creativity in the raw, without which this or the previous two stunning layouts quite possibly would not exist. Apart from the great insights we choose to expose, everyone contributes somewhere. It may be noticeable, or hidden, but anyone involved can and does have their say. All of the team are volunteers who give their time, creativity and ideas freely. If you know of anyone who can offer programme management, then please come and see us, state your case and “we’ll let you know”. I suspect that the first thing a programme manager might be looking for are a new batch of volunteers with ideas to manage?

[@modelrailwaynoob]

@DaveFenton A bit sensitive aren't you? I think you misunderstand programme management. It has nothing to do with changing people or preventing the flow of ideas. Quite the opposite In fact. If you don't like comments unless they praise you, disable them.

[@Colt-bd2mv]

@@modelrailwaynoobthe jealousy emanating from this comment is incredible.

[@modelrailwaynoob]

​@Colt-bd2mv You need help. Jealous only what exactly? Their modelling skills, woodwork, biscuits? Be specific because you look silly.
