Great Deltan N Gauge-January 2023 Layout Update+Running Session

With the completion of the Mega stock upgrade project which has take up the last 6 months, I thought it be best to put an update out regarding other work thats taken place on the layout before the next stage begins.

Those super elevated curves are fantastic! Love the weathering on the stock too, really makes a difference 👍

[@greatdeltan6556]

Cheers, much appreciated:)

[@stecosgrove3779]

That really is looking good. Love the reverse curves. Well done!

[@greatdeltan6556]

Cheers!

[@capitallines]

The motorway bridge looks impressive👍🏻

[@greatdeltan6556]

Thanks!

[@mikeuk1954]

Great layout. That derailing coach was doing my OCD!! 🤣

[@greatdeltan6556]

Didn't notice that until after I'd started editing typical

[@philipbryant6275]

I cannot wait to see the M1 completed.. well done so far..😊

[@greatdeltan6556]

Me too, I'm very much looking forward to doing that small scene

[@marklittlejohn1457]

Good to see you have been busy excellent running session thankyou for the video

[@greatdeltan6556]

Thank you very much

[@markanderson9995]

Superb update !!!!!. LOVE the bridge and the fact that most of your units and coaches are now "occupied".... Don't really see that much in N gauge !!!!. Highlights for me were seeing that 68 with the Stobart/Tesco containers, Britannia with that Gresley coach rake, the DB Schenker 66 with MMA's and look at the length of that Caledonian sleeper rake !!!!. Seriously long in N gauge too !!!!.Loving the prototypical lengths..... Very much looking forward to the next video. !!! ( PS. all that's missing is a Freightliner 66 with HIA's !!!)

[@greatdeltan6556]

Thank you for the lovely comment:)

Thank you :)

[@mikeatpudhamjunction2323]

Lot's and lot's done even if it looks like not a lot. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

[@greatdeltan6556]

Just the bridge and lighting but yes does make a difference, I hope to have a more noticeable difference when the next video is finished

[@paultaylor9652]

You've come along way again since the last video, I can't imagine anyone not being envious of this layout and rolling stock.

[@greatdeltan6556]

Thank you very much

[@staffordstationngauge8359]

Glad you got your lighting sorted, some decent train weathering, will have to visit one day cheers

[@greatdeltan6556]

Thank you:) when I'm a bit further a long by all means

[@ChapelEndJunctionUK]

Great layout to run your long trains , they do look so good .

[@greatdeltan6556]

I agree, thanks!

[@St-lb8yy]

Recently found your channel, very impressed and very much looking forward to seeing the next instalment

[@greatdeltan6556]

Thank you!

[@jmaccsarmiesofArda]

The layout is looking incredible. Loving seeing the progres.

[@greatdeltan6556]

Thank you

[@mikebuick2332]

Glad you like the Piko handset, I sold one for James at the Doncaster show at the weekend. I use one on my N Gauge layout too, and also have the 55017 command station which is useful for programming or testing things without having to climb up in the loft! You're making a nice job of the layout and those curves with the super elevation add a different dimension to the view - something very lacking on Market Lavington. The bridge is also an attention grabber and I'm looking forward to seeing the scenery take shape around it. Great work on the NGS JJAs too....I'll be building some HQAs when they get the wheels back in stock.

[@greatdeltan6556]

Yes one thing that is annoying is setting up the DR5000 everytime I need to programme, cheers for the comment, I do love superelevated tracks, like you say brings something different about it, I'm sure you'll make a better job of the Autoballasters than I've done!

[@GWRailFan]

So impressive how much has been done and seeing more off it behind the scenes aswell haha, love how you go. I've done the other side and hiden it so you can't see it. im really looking forward to the station build once. it's started. Who pulled the emergency stop on the sleeper set then 🤣

[@greatdeltan6556]

Yes I think the station build will be quite fun to do, I did suffer a few hiccups during running glad you noticed!

[@michaelwhitham4501]

Superb mate,where do you get the cab drivers from

[@greatdeltan6556]

They're Graham Farish scenecraft figures without legs

[@jasperjenkin6645]

How do you feel about hornby tt120, more specifically thier marketing strategy, cutting out the retailers?

[@St-lb8yy]

Personally very interested but won't buy without seeing it first. Enjoy the browsing as much as the buying

[@greatdeltan6556]

I don't have too much knowledge regarding the products or how they've gone about it

[@CallumClass450]

You even put the “10 foot” graffiti I see everywhere (even on the Hounslow Loop) get use of detail

[@greatdeltan6556]

Thank you! Thought I needed some reference to the M1

[@MTM2711]

Good update. Really like your storage trays for your stock. How did you make them? Also - what spec of plasticard did you use to make your bridge? Looks amazing

[@greatdeltan6556]

Storage trays are made from small softwood planks and glued to an MDF base, the plastic card used for the bridge was .75m plasticard, brick sheets for the supports and plain for the girders made into that shape

[@MTM2711]

@@greatdeltan6556 super job. I’d really like to have seen the making of that

[@thegrowler-blackwoodngauge]

Hi Dan - You've certainly been busy 😀. How did you make your stock boxes - it's something I need to do myself. Great running session - really enjoyed it. Cheers Euan

[@greatdeltan6556]

The base is 3mm MDF and the sides are just some softwood planks cut to length from B&Q, whole thing is measured and glued with gorilla glue

[@kite7214]

Who makes the catenary gantries? Great running session. Keith

[@greatdeltan6556]

They are from N brass, come as etched brass sprews and you build them using solder and bending

[@thatquail]
