Extended Running Session on the Modular Model Railway!

[@h_draw]

Pitley certainly has come a long way from the start of this series, hasn’t it

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

It really has! I was looking back at an early running session video from ages ago before the layout really had any scenery at all and the difference is staggering. Thanks for watching 🤩

[@hantercans]

Wonderful! so relaxing....thank you👍

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 😃

[@JamesParsons-bz4cy]

its crazy how this layout has developed.. it makes a nice change to see a nice slow paced run on a layout like this.. should be proud mate well done

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks, there's something nice about being able to see it go from bare bones to much more complete. Having spent several videos really working hard on getting this section up to scratch it was a welcome reward to finally do a more realistic running session on it. Thanks for watching 😃

[@loispadgett6306]

What a enjoyable running session. The modules look great. To see everything come to gether as it has has been great fun. Can't wait to see whats next. That was very relaxing to watch. Thanks for sharing. GOD BLESS from America. 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it! There’s still plenty to do with a few more modules needing work to get the full loop finished from a scenic point of view. Thanks for watching 😃

[@tomward3656]

That session was very good. I could watch your layout for hours. Thank you.

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks Tom! This is just a small taste of what's to come really as once the whole layout is complete I'd love to do more involved and longer running sessions for various different scenarios. Thanks for watching 😃

[@wallsknob]

This video is soothing and calming and relaxing, and it's what I needed. Life has been very stressful lately. I thank thee!

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

@@wallsknob I’m really glad to hear that, there is definitely something relaxing about just watching trains run. Thanks for watching 😃

[@davidsheriff8989]

Realistic running, the final concept works better than expected....fantastic and yet so simple...

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

I definitely feel like I'm only scratching the surface with possible operations here too. Not forgetting that it can easily be converted into a continuous run loop for filming reviews or livestreams as well. Thanks for watching 😃

[@benstrainsandthings]

This layout has come a long way since it was started and it looks awsome!

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Yes it's staggering to look back at previous running session videos and see what it looked like. I can't believe how well it's turned out! Thanks for watching 😃

[@benstrainsandthings]

@@ThatModelRailwayGuy meant to put an exclamation mark not a quedtion mark

[@petertate8366]

Brilliant photography, brilliant layout and perfect background music...Superb 😊

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks Peter, really glad you enjoyed the video and the music! Thanks for watching 😃

[@S69modelrailways]

Great trains man

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks!

[@davidcutts2650]

Having followed your build from the bare first modular baseboard to this Excellent running session at Pitley station has been an inspirational experience. Thanks & a job well done. 👍👍

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks David! It's been a journey and it's not over yet but we're certainly getting there. Thanks for watching 😃

[@adam_fordham]

Excellent running session on pitley. With the scenics finished, it really makes the railway stand out more, love yhe running sessions 😀

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Yes the scenics do make a huge difference! I really just need to get the backscene done but that will be a job for once the whole layout is complete. Thanks for watching 😃

[@nigelcole1936]

Very enjoyable thank you

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it Nigel, it's always nice to just kick back and run some trains. Thanks for watching 🤩

[@tagsdm]

Beautiful, That Model Railway Guy. Locos seem to run really well, even the big 9F on those tight turns. Drystone wall looks just fine, too!

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

It does all run very nicely, luckily the curves look a lot worse on camera than they are in reality due to the lens compression. With the drystone walls, these are the sections that I was able to salvage from the dodgy packs I got but I am working on a solution for the rest of the layout 😅 Thanks for watching 👍

[@Nederlansetrein]

I have Seen the whole serie and it is crazy to see how far this has come from a bare base board. You were my inspiration to start building my own layout. Big respect.

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks! It's always nice to know that people have followed the construction of the layout right from the beginning - and even better when it's inspired them to have a go themselves! Best of luck with your own layout and thanks for watching 😃

[@gazbaz9345]

Watching poetry in motion. Im a huge fan of the series and looking forward to more moduls for inspiration on my own layout.

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks glad you've been enjoying it! More modules are under construction as we speak in preparation for it's upcoming exhibition appearance so hopefully more videos will be along very soon. Thanks for watching 😃

[@Preussenzug]

Very nice, Uwe.

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😃

[@ianroper1960]

Really enjoyable video. The layout is coming together really nicely. Thanks for sharing

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

My pleasure! Yeah it's really starting to look more like a proper model railway now. Just a few more modules to go before it's all exhibition ready. Thanks for watching 🤩

[@PaulinesPastimes]

Loved it. 😊

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😃

[@ChobertonJunction]

Really enjoyed that very relaxing and a feast for the eyes. Nice one.

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks, it's always nice to just see some trains running on the layout, especially now that it's more finished from a scenic perspective. Thanks for watching 😃

[@NicholassTrainChannel]

Nice running session mate. Really good to see trains running around the layout. The layout has come a long way. - Nicholas.

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks, it's been really great to be able to film another running session with some scenery on the main part of the layout at last! It's amazing how far it's come in just the last few months alone. Thanks for watching 😃

[@gazzasal9724]

It's amazing to have seen your layout go from bare wood to what it is now. Looks great 👍

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks, it's great to be able to look back at the progress myself and see how far it's come! Thanks for watching 😃

[@clivengauge]

Great running session i have watched you from the start and the layout is looking great i have just started a n gauge layout and watching you has given me lots of ideas thanks for sharing 👍

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Amazing, it's always nice when people have followed the construction of the layout from the beginning and I'm really glad it's given you some ideas for your own layout! Best of luck and thanks for watching 😃

[@theenigmaticgamer]

Superb job on the layout and nice to see a relaxing running session too.👍

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks, definitely more work to do to get the rest of the layout to this standard but it's coming along nicely. Hopefully then I'll be able to do some running sessions along the length of the whole layout. Thanks for watching 😃

[@ModelRailwayShed]

Amazing to watch this layout go from a bare baseboard to sonething wonderful.

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

It's been great to have so many of you following along from day one! Still a bit more to do before the exhibition but we're getting there. Thanks for watching 😃

[@michaelemery5219]

Love the old wooden bodied coaching stock not allowed in the mainline today

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Luckily for me they still run on heritage railways which is what this layout is trying to recreate. Thanks for watching 😃

[@DJE2025]

👍👍very nice Great way to start my day 🚂🚂

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it! It's certainly nice to have trains out on the layout again now that more scenic work has been completed. Thanks for watching 🤩

[@fredtedstedman]

Smooooooooooooothe !

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

I'm actually impressed at how well the layout runs considering everything I've put it through! 😅 Thanks for watching 👍

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid on channel thanks lee

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it Lee, thanks for watching 😃

[@chrissouthgate4554]

Light leakage on the Engine Shed roof/wall joins (see the start of the video). Would a strip of Black Polythene stuck to the join help cure this? I suggest Polythene because it should be flexible enough to easily go into corners & bends & a strip would not need as much retouching of your paintwork as a larger sheet would.

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

The shed isn't finished yet and the roof is just resting on top currently as I have more plans for this model, so no need to worry. Once the work is complete I'll fix the roof in position to stop the light bleed. It used to be a lot worse - before I added the interior the whole shed used to glow! 😅 Thanks for watching 👍

[@ModelRailroadWorldwide]

looks good! Great video and amazing layout best regards from Germany !! :)

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks, it's been a lot of work but all worth it! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 😃

[@darknut9696]

Will there be a certain former LBSC E2 and their twin coaches be visiting Pitley for any steam gala's? I Enjoyed watching your progress over the years on the modular railway now Pitley

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Since Pitley is a heritage railway and no E2s were preserved I'd say that would be unlikely... however, I dare say that an industrial loco of some sort, rebuilt to resemble something like an E2, in an eye catching blue livery could definitely be a possibility for a special event in the future 😉 Thanks for watching 👍

[@LetsGo_41]

Nice running session. Wish you had the Bachmann Class 47 running :D. Q&A question I guess. Are you going to be getting one of the Accurascale Class 37s in BR green to go on your heritage line?

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

The Bachmann 47 will definitely be making an appearance at some point! I haven't decided on the Accurascale 37 yet. Having reviewed one earlier this year it's a brilliant model but I'm really trying to be good at the moment and finish the layout rather than spending money on models I don't need.... plus I already have several other Accurascale models on pre-order already! 😁 Thanks for watching 👍

[@michaelemery5219]

The cure song close to me ,reminds me of these old coaches

[@Evan.harrison]

This is great and you need to show us your whole module put together ❤

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it. I’ll definitely be showing off the whole layout in full once I’ve finished the rest of the modules. Thanks for watching 😃

[@Evan.harrison]

@@ThatModelRailwayGuy can't wait 😁

[@BrecknockValley]

Very nice short running session! The Genesis coaches really look the part don’t they?

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

They do! Really reminds me of the vintage carriages they used to run at Embsay for the Stately Trains, so that's what I was trying to recreate. Just need to add capacitors to stop the lights flickering now. Thanks for watching 😃

[@michaelemery5219]

Now we have a 9f with MK1 steel boded coaching stock

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Yep, an even more common sight on heritage railways... well at least those that have a 9F lying around 😅

[@dcb_trains]

Do you uncouple manually or you got a system in place of some sort when you get the loco to run around its stock?

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

For the moment I uncouple manually between takes on this layout. I have plans to install an automatic uncoupling function soon though - I just need to get the rest of the layout finished first. Thanks for watching 😃

[@dcb_trains]

@@ThatModelRailwayGuy sounds promising, look forward to the video on that at some point

[@pooletrainboy]

No buffer stops at the headshunt at Pitley?

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Not currently. The bufferstop module is missing several details at the moment since it won't be used for the exhibition. But I'll get round to it one day 😅 Thanks for watching 👍

[@tico360]

How do you decide what locos you’re going to run? Sometimes the only drawbacks to having a lot of locomotives is choosing which ones to run. And possibly being financially irresponsible.

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

For a more casual video like this it was really a case of what did I have to hand that I knew would run well on camera and fitted with the rolling stock I had out too. In the future though, I do plan to establish a fictional "home fleet" for Pitley as I build out the world for the layout. Thanks for watching 😃

[@Daniel-c9x4z]

Just asking in your intos were did you get your railway lamp from because I need one ? 😂

[@Alfredbushell]

Does anyone know the music in this video?

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Hi there, all the music on the channel is stuff I compose myself. Thanks for watching 😃

[@S69modelrailways]

They are almost as good as s69s

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Who knows, maybe a S69/B12 will visit Pitley in the future. Thanks for watching 😃
