@ThatModelRailwayGuy Жыл бұрын
Thanks Sam! I decided to run the green Fairlie this time since it hasn't appeared much on the channel - if at all actually! As for track maintenance, I could try and do a video on that but honestly my maintenance goes as far as running a track rubber over it every once in a while so it might not be a very long video. I generally tend to focus on getting the track as good as possible when first laying and ballasting it so that any maintenance down the road is minimal. Thanks for watching 😃

The suitcase housing was an ingenious idea and you have certainly fulfilled your original build brief. As a OO scale scratch-builder, my hat goes off to you for your patience with such small building parts and materials and, finally, it should never matter what anyone else thinks of the end result, as long as you reap the pleasure of your work.

I'd love to get some of the Skarloey range but I think the fixed wheelbase might be too long for the curves on this layout.

Reactions, in order of appearance: Great colour on the shed. Like the old wheelset sitting in front. Ooh, a Fairlie! People on the station! Track seems a bit uneven on the far left of the station. Was that intentional? I do like all the various drivers. I like the slate wagons. Fairlie seems to have its couplings on very long poles. Is the guy in red with the camera a 3d print of you? People in carriages :) Colours are so vibrant. Planter boxes with their purple flowers really stand out. Green side-board backgrounds look good. Join baseboard decor almost seamlessly. Amazing work. Looks fantastic and runs really well.
@ThatModelRailwayGuy Жыл бұрын
Great reactions and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! The uneven track definitely wasn't intentional but if you saw the series where I built this layout you'll know I had a bit of trouble with getting glue in the points and so it's a bit of a hangover from that 😅 I added PECO couplings to the Double Fairlie when I took this layout to an exhibition recently which is why they're a bit longer. The Bachmann ones aren't as reliable for some reason but that's about my only gripe with those wonderful engines. And yes the figure on the platform is indeed a 3D print of yours truly done by Modelu! Thanks for watching 👍

Sounds awesome! 009 is great for packing a decent sized layout into a small space - obviously I've taken it to the extreme here by putting it in a suitcase but I've seen really brilliant and fun narrow gauge layouts to operate that aren't much bigger. There are some cheap options for getting started in 009 too - the best in my opinion are the little KATO 0-4-0 motor chassis then getting a 3D printed body to fit on top. Could be fun little project to work on in the meantime. Thanks for watching 😃

Hi Nick, the back of the hill and backscene are open so you can see through to the hidden loop if needed. More often though you just get a sense of where the train is. If I'm intending to hide something there I just make sure it's short enough to fit inside the points easily. Thanks for watching 😃

Depends how long the train is really. For the shorter trains, it tends to be fine. There's actually a second run round loop in the hidden fiddle yard which is longer so I tend to use that. The one in the station is mainly used for running round trains. Thanks for watching 😃
