[@RedShedNick]

As good a layout as you will ever see! Outstanding fantastic viewing from beginning to end! Cheers Nick.

[@GowertonParkway]

Thanks very much, very kind of you to say so.

[@JohnPW22]

The concrete is brilliant - need loads for mine so looks perfect for the job. Great layout taking shape with great locos and sound too. Love it!

[@GowertonParkway]

Awesome - do it ! Thanks for the kind words :-)

[@richardbradley2335]

1 of 2 of the best layouts on YT.....love it

[@GowertonParkway]

Thank you ! I am glad you like it :-D

[@karlsage3064]

Great work. Looking very good. Thanks for catch-up!

[@GowertonParkway]

Karl Sage Thanks Karl ! I will try and keep things a bit more regular going forward !

[@paulb7200]

Really good layout, the road bridge and the way the lines nicely sweep under it looks highly realistic. Thanks for sharing, newly subscribed. All the best, Paul

[@davidedwards6811]

Fantastic update, thank you for posting. Looking forward to your live streaming if you do it, I hope so. The class 37 sounds absolutely fabulous, sounds as close to the real thing as I've heard.

[@GowertonParkway]

Thanks David. I am chuffed with how the 37 has come out !

[@Poler_epic]

@@GowertonParkway where do you get your stock from

[@dickiedollop]

You’ve done a really good job on the weathering - I work in the steelworks and the shunters/engines look just like yours the whole layout is a top job 👍🏻

[@nesr8786]

Great video Buddy, you have done a brilliant job, i love 37s they just look and sound so manly .look forward to your next adventure . Take care everyone . Mac

[@GowertonParkway]

Thansk Mac ! I think class 37s are definitley the daddy of the diesels !

[@sub39h]

The hard standing looks great. Best wishes to you and your family - I hope you are all keeping safe.

[@GowertonParkway]

Thanks mate, and to you !

[@poinchesterstation4514]

That idea of adding a wash to the hard standing, sanding and then doing it again is brilliant! Superb end result!

[@caseynightingalegoldsbury1599]

Looking brilliant good idea with the water sanding on the hard stand haven’t done that before on my concrete stands so will try it out keep up the great work

[@GowertonParkway]

casey nightingale goldsbury let us know how you get on !

[@onnomulder9775]

Great update and video!!! I enjoyed it very much. Your class 37 has an aweome sound. Cheers Onno.

[@GowertonParkway]

Thanks Onno !

[@TrentValleyRailway]

Excellent to see work is ongoing, thanks for sharing the layout update

[@GowertonParkway]

Plenty more to come I hope ! Thanks for watching :-)

[@dibley1973]

Followed you on Instagram for a while, but only just discovered you have a KZbin channel too. Glad I have!

[@GowertonParkway]

Glad you found the channel !

[@haydenphillips3283]

Love this layout. It’s amazingly realistic

[@GowertonParkway]

Thank you :-D

[@DugmerJunction]

Nice update mate :) looking forward to be able to get back on the layout.

[@CherrhamJunction]

Great update. Layout looks superb and has progressed massively since I last watched. Nice idea on how to make the roads, certainly does look better than the standard filler option.

[@GowertonParkway]

Cheers mate ! Yea , I have finally got back into the layout. I am loving it now. Need to get it up to scratch as Hornby Mag are coming back to photograph it at some point this year.

[@CherrhamJunction]

@@GowertonParkway Good to hear. Having a break does do you good actually. Congrats on the upcoming feature as well look forward to that. Rightfully deserved as well, yours is one of the best around :P

[@michaeledwards5981]

08 shots look and sound fab.👍

[@mikeuk4130]

Great sounds! Those 37s at the start are working really hard.

[@bhigdaddymark]

You beat me to it... Those diesels are like music to my ears!

[@GowertonParkway]

MIKE UK You can’t beat that noise can you Mike !?

[@mikeuk4130]

You can't beat it! If I shut my eyes, I'm transported back a year to the top 'n' tail 37s on the Norwich to Yarmouth/Lowestoft short set.

[@gavin37688]

Great update matey really enjoyed it, totally agree on those daylight tubes too... i bought them for my loft when i had Peakdale and they turned the setup an odd blue colour so took them straight out and leaned them all up in the corner there probably still up there now in that house lol hard standing looks great too, i optedfor plasti card on mine but it was straight sections were i covered the track so wasn't a difficult job, Cheers, Jon.

[@GowertonParkway]

Cheers mate , glad you enjoyed it ! I’m happy with the lighting now . Hard standing has turned out well - I’ve seen peakdale in the flesh a few times, Dan is a good mate of mine so I normally go and say hello when he’s down in Bristol and run some stuff !

[@gavin37688]

@@GowertonParkway Evening mucka yes indeed chap always like your vids and updates dude :) an yeh Dan said glad you've seen it and really happy Dan took it and re built it when i had to sell up... i miss having my own place and a setup but mnodellers keep me happy building and spraying stuff for now, Cheers, Jon.

[@GowertonParkway]

Peakdaleworks 37686 good stuff mate ! Dan has shown me the stuff he’s had back from you recently - it’s quality. I do the odd respray but it takes me hours , and they don’t get close to yours !

[@gunlokman]

Fantastic layout - particularly the 'weathering'. Also the sad accuracy of the Boris 'plank' reference. Well done on all counts!

[@GowertonParkway]

Thanks John ! I must say though, Boris is doing a good job of steering us through this awful time, even if he is a bit daft !

[@C-MAGs]

Concrete is looking great! BTW, for months now, I've thought your station reminds me very much of High Street station in Glasgow. It gives me the "feeling" of that every time I see your videos. High Street is a very 70's type of station. You should have a look at it. I think it fits your criteria quite well. Great job. Be lucky! All the best. :)

[@GowertonParkway]

Rolica I’ve just had a look some Pictures of it . I can definitely see why it would remind you of that station ! It’s surprisingly similar !! Really funny coincidence!

[@Bowyerable]

Nice dark lines at the base of buildings, not good enough

[@andrewbailey399]

That 37 sounds fabulous.

[@GowertonParkway]

Thanks ! I’m really pleased with it

[@medwaypeninsulaMR]

Hi Marcus - It was good to see the update and what you have been doing. I agree 3D printing corner products are excellent I am delighted with what I got from them. And the same with Accurascale I got a Blue Circle Cement wagon and was so impressed I got a pack of 3 . And have pre ordered a Class 37 from them plus other wagons. I like their buffer stops too. And a great sound from your 37 there !!. I too would be interested in how you do the hard standing should you be doing a demo . Cheers Kev

[@GowertonParkway]

You definitely can’t complain at what accurascale are doing . It’s on another level . The PFA wagons are quite simply the best piece of rolling stock on the layout now !

[@NewJunction]

Really enjoyed that, can't wait to.come and see it!

[@GowertonParkway]

New Junction look forward to having you round to play trains mate :-)

[@markmillins5621]

The hard standing looks amazing a tutorial would be really helpful as I'm looking to do something like this on my layout.

[@markwilson8002]

Top quality sir..

[@GowertonParkway]

Thanks you !

[@peter7452]

Hi, great video, I also had a wheel set missing from my PFA wagons one of the British fuels one. Peter

[@GowertonParkway]

Did Accurascale send you another set ? They did for me after I showed them that they were missing !

[@hctreintje]

Good video, keep on for de next. HC Treintje Belgium.

[@AmazeTase]

Quick q re the wet mix concrete....did you put it straight down onto the baseboard or did you have to seal the baseboard first mate? I’d be interested in the how to for the hand standing please. As for the livestream....Wednesday or Thursday evenings are good! 🙂

[@GowertonParkway]

Tase It is straight onto the baseboards . Worth noting though the boards have been up 7 years , so I know how they behave . Sealing the wood certainly would be good practice though.

[@AmazeTase]

Gowerton Parkway cheers bud. I’m gonna do a test patch before attacking the layout proper. Thanks for the reply.

[@westcoastmodels]

Great video Marcus - Stay safe sir 😎

[@GowertonParkway]

Cheers mate :-)

[@darrelldeltic807]

Great update Marcus, you’ve done a cracking job on the hard standing ! Did you put anything in to create the gap for the wheel flange? Class 37 sounds incredible, must really vibrate as the pipe partly fell off at the front 😁cheers Dazza

[@GowertonParkway]

Hi mate - nope. I will re-do the fuel point and create a video so you can see exactly what to do mate 👍🏻

[@darrelldeltic807]

Gowerton Parkway brilliant mate, look forward to seeing that, I’ve tried plasticard etc but I’m no good at getting it right, I think I’d be happier trying it your way as it looks so good , cheers

[@toki_-_wartooth]

Any chance of a "how to" video for that hardstanding area it looks incredible!

[@GowertonParkway]

Hi Jon . There’s already a tutorial up . It was released just after this video . If you browse the channel videos you should find it .

[@01276]

Brilliant update, which sound clip did you use in the 37? I have also gone with the PM10D as they are more budget friendly than some other brands - are you using them via DCC or manual switches?

[@GowertonParkway]

01276 it’s a legomanbiffo west highland chip on a V5 decoder

[@GowertonParkway]

I use DCC to switch the points

[@martinpattison4018]

I would also be interested in how you made the Hard Standing. My layout is in an earlier era to yours, but I don't think anybody would notice it anyway. Martin. (Thailand.)

[@GowertonParkway]

Hi Martin, I post a video on it last night. Tune in !

[@TheFccboy]

Fantastic layout mate can you tell me the length of the layout and how wide is it as in the separate sides of the layout looks around 3 feet but my measurements is usually well out 😂

[@GowertonParkway]

The over all layout is 26ft long by 8ft wide, and the scenic boards are 2ft wide.

[@bhigdaddymark]

Hello, great video and superb layout! Could you please tell me where I can purchase those red buffer stops and who makes them? Hopefully, I can order them online. Thanks!

[@GowertonParkway]

Mark Ferguson, Amateur Organist : accurascale.co.uk/products/rawie-friction-bufferstop-coupler-pocket?_pos=4&_sid=563613c7c&_ss=r They are by accurascale. They are superb !

[@leonbrown7107]

Brilliant mate 👍

[@GowertonParkway]

Leon Brown Cheers mate

[@ianryan5727]

Class layout, love the concrete patch repair tip... wagons .... mmmm ... 5 plank ... 7 plank or boris plank? :) cheers. Stay safe.

[@GowertonParkway]

Hahahahaha 😂

[@dickiedollop]

Can you do this for real in Neath please as it sounds better than the current arrangement 😁

[@mikeuk4130]

See RailView's "Last week of the Greater Anglia Class 37 Short Set" for some memories of the reality.

[@marktownsend1403]

Would like to see how you did hard standing

[@GowertonParkway]

I will get a video published very soon !

[@jasoncarter4004]

Excellent layout update, sad your ripping up the awesome modern station building. You've given me inspiration on modern station buildings. Have you still got the building in good condition?? 😉

[@GowertonParkway]

The station building has just been taken apart, the canopy and lift towers are still intact.

[@dibley1973]

@31:15 - very realistic embankment foliage.

[@GowertonParkway]

Thank you :-)

[@markjobypaintin5222]

Yes I would like to see you do hard standing

[@GowertonParkway]

Ive done it ! Video is up now

[@danielbrooks3452]

Hi please can you give me the product codes for all the Bachmann Rail Express Systems coaches please that you have

[@GowertonParkway]

Hi , sorry all the boxes are in storage so I won't be able too.

[@djburland]

Fab modelling

[@GowertonParkway]

Thanks David, much appreciated.

[@garethw8884]

I do have to agree the station isn't the best but easy as you go fella not so harsh please. Great update though layout is looking great

[@GowertonParkway]

Yea I don't like the station building. Looking forward to getting rid of it to be honest.

[@garethw8884]

@@GowertonParkway brilliant stuff can't wait to see what you put in it's place. It's a pity you can't do the gnoll park instead it's lovely up there

[@simoncummings3792]

Great video however not too impressed that my local station got ripped in to 😂 there are plenty of worse off station's in South/West Wales.

[@GowertonParkway]

Hahahaha 😂😂

[@theeventhorizon-valebridge9512]

Excellent modelling and layout, really superb, an inspiration. ( I'm not sure why you feel so compelled to display your tribalistic psychological tendency with those football flags pinned prominently above the layout!)

[@trainmanbob]

Wow!! Some real changes Marcus, all of which look excellent. Although Boris may be a plank to some, at least he is not doing a Corbin and trying to nationalise Corona virus which no doubt he would.. 😒😊 Cheers, Bob

[@GowertonParkway]

Hahaha ! Boris is a plank but I really admire what he's doing at the moment and he's really gone up in my estimations.

[@simonbaker6962]

Very disappointing and totally unacceptable...............................................remove the Chelsea flags immediately, almost threw up.
