Hello Richard. I was thinking of having a model railway in my bedroom using a full 9 coach set Azuma. Using these illl have to save up for two sets. And the front coaches as well! I’m using a pool table so it’s not too big. And it fits in my bedroom. I’ll probably get a NR Test Train and a shunter so I can drag this around.

[@NewJunction]

Sounds good

[@MrTransportAddict]

@@NewJunction yeah. But it will take a while to save up. I’m thinking about buying the track first. Then the trains

[@jonathanroberts1328]

Hi Richard , great video , thank you for sharing , a few questions if I may please, one is how or where did you get the station sounds and ambiance, at the moment I use a Google home to play railway station ' ambience ' but yours had actual station announcements about your Azuma , so is this some sort of pc software please? I really would like to know especially as it had the sound of the MTU diesel powering up as your set departed , or is it one of those sound cubes ?. Another question I'm new to the hobby I have a GWR green version of this and it looks great but some of the bogies catch on the bodies and I'm not sure what the fix is, I'd thought of small plastic washers ? And , one thing I'm not sure how to remove the coach bodies two I don't know but would appreciate advice on how to open the ' power cars ' as I have some DCC chips to fit , and annoyingly these things need two, for the direction lights to work) ( ps I loved seeing the proper IET/HST in Lner livery sat at your station, I also liked the , highly detailed, not sure of the manufacturer I can't think the - northern coloured 156, although I'm.a 158 fan , I didnt know they did it in northern livery or was it hand painted ?, Either way nice touch on your layout !🙂). Also I note you have what looks like the peco OHLE electrification masts , my question with this, is having got a class 91 ( old tooling ) and a 90 ' ditto', both have a switch on top to make the pantograph draw power , I did call one model shop in the south , the guy seemed very short , curt and unhelpful , kinda rubbished my wanting to use the overhead wires for power , he said they are only for decoration only , yet the pack says different, so how does one , get power to the contact wire, given how thin the masts are, secondly how would you get ' live and neutral ' ? This may sound like a silly question, but I'm rather new to the hobby , as I got in memory of the last thing my dad and I did together before he was killed , which was setup a then small model railway , so now much older ' 40's', I'm back in the hobby , my layout is loosely based on the borders railway set around my version of Hawick , only this Hawick has two main stations on the Hawick side the middle a full sized airport , realworld details and 1/100.scale that is a match for 00 gauge ( the people that you have on the layout , match the size of the aircraft doors on the aircraft models ) the trains run full length under the runway , i made it into a tunnel , the airport building modeled on Doncaster Airport, with its own station to fit upto a four car voyager . But anwyay I really love your layout , I also need help with point motors , I made an error in building the layout and buildings before doing the motors , I've also done a fair amount of ballsting, but any help or advice I'd be greatful, as I say your layout looks amazing I did wonder if you'd painted the 156? , Or is it Adam at Electra graphics who does the amazing vinyls for various trains , not sure yet if he's done the 800, but if he has I'd bet the 800 would look nice in Transpennine , I have a class 350 in that scheme it looks great . Once again great video on this train, I do hope you may be able to help, I have a disability so sometimes things are more difficult to do, and i have to get help with stuff, but that's like sending away faulty trains , eg the new tooling bachman class 158 has two flaws one out of five bought all had one or more wheel sets at an angle bit in the bogie frame , the other is some after a while just stop running , the lights are on but no action , that's DC and DCC so hence they got sent away . Well good luck with the layout , I look forward to seeing more reviews, especially if you should get the upcoming ' class 745 or 755 four car bi mode flirt train sets that run in Anglia, they are from Hornby and are due very soon .

[@cjstacey1412]

That Test 800 looks absolutely fabulous, definitely want one now! It looks so good sweeping along the shallow curves under the wires - can I ask about that concrete-sleeper track, looks awesome, is that Peco flexi track in code 100 or 75? Thanks, awesome video across all three layouts, look forward to more!

[@stmichaelsjunction]

Brilliant take it you be putting people inside the Coaches?

[@NewJunction]

After watching the other Richard do that, I'm not sure I have the patience

[@stretchedits]

Nice new train, good to see another video from you Richard. So let me see if I get this right, you buy the two end units as a set, then wait two years for the coaches, which are then released as a limited set of 500 and you have to hope you can get them............Wow that's risky...................Anyway, stay safe, and thanks.

[@NewJunction]

Hiya chap, your not wrong!

[@poinchesterstation4514]

Great to see another video for new junction! I’m currently trying to add coach lighting to all my fleet during covid 19 and wondered how Hornby have added lighting to these coaches and how it works. Of course you don’t work for Hornby but do you have any ideas of what sort of leds they have used and how the lights operate? Secondly are the lights that yellowish in real life or is it just the camera. Was expecting a new model to have a much more pure/ bright white as per modern stock? All the best Matt

[@NewJunction]

They are yellow which may be the light or the 'glass', it's more realistic in my mind. No idea what LEDs they use. 😆
