Hornby Magazine Layout Update 6: May 2020 | News, Reviews, 'OO9' and more!

[@leilacentral1883]

Love these layout updates! Great job on the platforms and they look very nice. Like the workers putting in the water tower while you wait for the replacement. The 009 layout I had forgotten about so was thrilled to see it. Awesome video guys, Clint

[@hornbymag]

Thanks Clint, loads more coming soon. 👍🏻

[@harrytaylor7944]

Great video guys! Just wondered if you could tell me how you built your platforms? I’ve been using metcalfe kits but found it quite difficult to shape it how I want it, especially on the curved sections!

[@Mattslade6024]

fab update with so much going on. The 2 layouts are look good and with all the new locos running as well

[@ryang6813]

Great video as always. Looking forward to seeing Eden Road TMD in print (especially as it’s my layout😊)

[@hornbymag]

Really pleased to have it in the Magazine! Thanks Ryan 😆

Hi guys. Mike, you're braver than me, something would have ended up on the floor if I was working on a layout while things were running! Toppsy is looking great. Richard mentioned Twelve Trees, has it been retired? Keep safe guys, catch you latter, regards Bobby 'T'.

Very good layout wish it was mine 🤩🤩 I am just starting out in the hobby when painting the platform you dipped brush in water or paint thinner? Workman area was nice idea.

[@hornbymag]

The paint we used here is acrylic so we used water as a thinner when required.

[@bentullett6068]

That grey paint really looks great. I am currently in the process of making my own station platform and updating existing hornby station platform and I will require some paint for the platform surfaces.

[@vanceelliott2704]

@Randall Sonny i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@vanceelliott2704]

@Randall Sonny it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my ass !

[@randallsonny1503]

@Vance Elliott you are welcome xD

[@hornbymag]

[@turbulanceism]

[@johnott1603]

Does anyone have any advice or tips for a new Hornby collector? I’ve always been a fan but have only decided to start collecting recently and making my own layouts and things so any advice would be greatly appreciated

[@D5300noah]

What is the date that the drs coaches come out because they will fit great with my drs 57 and drs 68

[@peterbradford5987]

What material is the Platform made from? Great video.

[@TrentValleyRailway]

Nicely done, thanks for sharing

[@hornbymag]

Thanks chap

[@James-Akers]

Great video as always. I'm really interested to see your feature on the French layout (I've forgotten the name sorry). With the platform, how did you make them and what products did you use to make them? Hope the whole team are staying safe Regards James

[@hornbymag]

Cheers James, I'll find out for you. Regards Richard

[@Derbys65]

What height is the layout , seems really higher than normal viewing height

[@garylewis1422]

Great update as always. The platforms look great with such a simple change. I'll keep my eyes peeled for the upcoming videos on key model world especially for the A3. I've seen tonight that KR models has a video coming out about the production sample of the GT3. Will you guys be having a look at it aswell and giving it a turn on topley dale? take care Gary

[@hornbymag]

Oh yes, we did a video on the first EP too.

[@garylewis1422]

@@hornbymag indeed you did. Just saw the KR models vid and it looks impressive. Hopefully you guys can put it through it's paces

[@alanturner2804]

Thanks for the video update guys. By way of feedback, can't always hear what Mike is saying. Needs a clip on mic and perhaps slow down a little. Thanks

[@AmeryJunction]

Great stuff

[@edwardallen4051]

What is the paint you are using please ?

[@hornbymag]

Grey? I'll find out 😅

Good video 😃👍

[@Zebrails]

Please... please put a driver in the cabs. It's a ghost train without drivers. Please, that one more step. John BC, Canada

[@PuuberZ]

Definitely interested in more N gauge news and any news on the upcomming Railroad Class 20.

[@djbruzer12]

Quite surprised to see you running a loco whilst you refurbished the platform, wouldn’t the dust possibly cause problems ?

[@hornbymag]

It didn't, always have trains running while working 👍🏻

[@AllensTrains]

The general idea of the layout is quite good with the bridge and the station on the curve. However, I think the area in the middle is wasted space. Perhaps include a drop-in hatch with a hillside with a church or something? From the point of view of photographing and videoing the layout this would be better!

[@martinpattison1567]

Viewers or Richard, can we organise a whip round so that Hornby Magazine can buy some new bigger paint brushes. If Mike had not of fast forwarded the video of him painting the Platform I would still be watching it now. Great news and good luck to all at Hornby Magazine. Martin. (Thailand)

[@hornbymag]

Haha keeps him busy 😅

[@crompton33022]

Great content but sound quality narrating improvement required. This can be easily overcome with some better Mic usage.

[@hornbymag]

Thanks for the feedback

[@rodneybates2135]

Could you guys get together and work out if it’s pronounced ‘hell Jan’ or ‘ hell e anne’?

[@hornbymag]

It's pronounced 'Hell-Yan' 👍🏻

[@dilwich]

It's actually ''Hell Yan'' . . .After the makers kids Helen & Jan . . .
