Fabulous show thank you

[@hornbymag]

You're very welcome Robert

[@andrewquirey7364]

That's a very sharp and tidy well thought out layout with a lot of imagination.

[@johntait491]

The filming, the sounds and the attention to detail are simply superb..!! Well done. 👍

[@hornbymag]

Thanks John!

[@modelrailwaynoob]

Very nice. I'm just about to start the Melbourne Military Railway exhibition layout WWII

[@dansmodelrailways7886]

The Flying Dustbin! 😂😂 that did make me smile, I don’t know if it was deliberate or not but it was funny. Topley dale never ceases to impress. 👍🏻

[@hornbymag]

A slip up there ;-)

[@catinarage5538]

11 o'clock start here in Saudi. Looks like I'll have to get a pot of strong coffee in. :-)

[@johntait491]

What no blackmarket Scotch..? 🤔

[@hornbymag]

Enjoy!

[@matthew_thefallen]

love these little commercials for the stores! I live in Italy and i've never been in any of these places, and these little shops look beautiful and full of stuff! One day i'll come visit :)

[@hornbymag]

Yes you must when we can travel again

[@petercomb8635]

Absolotly fantastic description on the sceany building work thank you

[@hornbymag]

Our pleasure

[@kymnorley8657]

What a fantastic video. Not just a description of what to but actually doing it. Thank you.

[@hornbymag]

Really glad you enjoyed it!

[@richieburrelltractionengin7801]

Layout looks fantastic 😍❤️

[@alantoms3263]

Great information and entertainment, with some lovely models and detailed modelling. Thanks for sharing. Always highly informative. Al.

[@hornbymag]

Thanks Al

[@donniblanco5239]

Well done lads 👍🏻

[@hamishbarry1273]

Another banger, keep up the good work! This made a crap day a LOT better :)

[@hornbymag]

Thanks, really pleased you enjoyed it!

[@UndergroundEric]

Another great vid - well done chaps. Topley dale is really looking great now, credit where its due. All the best Eric

[@hornbymag]

Thanks Eric!

[@peterreber7671]

It is so rare to see such realistic start and stop behaviour as well as speeds in model trains. I always wondered why it is so difficult to emulate that and now I know it is possible.

[@andrewackerley9985]

What a great piece of cinematic creation. Fabulous use of locations, props, sound effects & even Delboy the train engineer!!! Excellent stuff. Please keep up the good work SDJR. The use of 'extreme' weathering on your brand new Hornby lookalike coaches, made the production into an absolute masterpiece. There's a job for you in Hollywood, methinks!?!? Cheers. Andrew

[@Madonsteamrailways]

The test layout looks marvellous!!

[@hornbymag]

Thanks!

[@mickboakes7023]

Brilliant. Really enjoyable and informative. Look forward to the next issue. Stay well. Mick

[@hornbymag]

Thanks Mick 😊

[@carlettbrook9809]

Another great update, Mike, Richard and team. The whole area by the quarry looks fantastic and yet again is highly inspirational. The entrance to the filed looks especially good. The whole effect is great, and yet again love the out takes. Keep them coming guys and thank you :) Rob

[@hornbymag]

Thanks Rob, glad you enjoyed it!

[@roberttemple8462]

Great show guys, thanks. Toppsy is coming on fab. I really like the idea of the by-pass route hiding the storage yard. Makes a change from having a layout with only one side scenic and the other storage. Mike also shows just how nicely scenery comes together and totally changes the layout. Hope lockdown ends soon or Richard won't be able to get his skid lid on lol. Stay safe and well all, regards Bobby 'T'.

[@Knappist]

Great job guys I have learned so much watching this edition many thanks

[@hornbymag]

Great to hear!

[@christopherbarton6770]

I am so pleased to find that the videos of Topley Dale in particular and from Hornby Magazine in general are still with us. It seems ages since I saw the last one. Watching Mike working on the layout is far more instructive than show demonstrations and most videos available. I have been modelling railways since my father bought me my first train set in about 1956, yet I am still learning from Hornby Magazine videos. Incidentally I do not do metric, nor DCC and have a strong preference for steam. Because of Mike's comments I have subscribed to Hornby Magazine and am very glad that I did. Watching the Mad Hatter is very enjoyable but whatever happened to Tweedledum and Tweedledee? I enjoy their input as well but it was somewhat limited this time. Chris Barton

[@hornbymag]

Sadly due to lockdown restrictions we can't be together, safety first and all that!

[@richardandrews6754]

fantastic, great to how its done looks amassing.

[@hornbymag]

Its easy really!

[@CymruJedi]

Been waiting for this! I’m so excited

[@hornbymag]

Woop woop

[@redversb2347]

The additions to the layout are looking fantastic. Very inspiring and giving me some ideas for my own planned loft layout.

[@hornbymag]

have fun giving it ago!

[@williamkolina3988]

I love this. A NYyankee enjoying European railroad

[@dcb_trains]

Stunning, brilliant video as always.

[@hornbymag]

Many thanks!

[@stephenmadden5739]

Great work on the scenery, I like the live video shots of locos and stations. Keep up the good work.

[@hornbymag]

Thanks Stephen!

[@going2thedogs]

Great video Gents. Enjoyed the practical parts & seeing Richard dog! Keep up the good work.

[@hornbymag]

Lulu isn't the only pet that may feature

[@steveluckhurst2350]

Fantastic attention to detail on that opening shot! 😊

[@hornbymag]

Its almost real!

[@johanjacobssonfranzen]

Another wonderful video! Keep up the excellent work, guys.

[@hornbymag]

Many thanks!

[@MrHz2921]

Can't wait for this!, fantastic layout by the team!

[@hornbymag]

Thanks, hope you enjoyed it

[@robnyas]

loved the layout build amazes me what a tidy worker you are - liking the static grass and water feature - learnt a bit more about rocks too - less is more i tend to put too much colour on . thanks ! do me a favour though, please put a tree or bush in front of that back scene join/ gap by the tunnel entrance - driving me mad LOL (ocd) really great stuff enjoyed.

[@hornbymag]

Haha thanks, its on the list of jobs

[@trw1089]

Great work guys, really enjoyed all of it!

[@hornbymag]

Thanks!

[@GlasshouseandGarden]

I enjoyed watching this series but gutted we didn't get to see how the moving roadway worked.

[@James-Akers]

Great video as ever gents. Really like the finished scene on the diversion route mike, looks just right and reminds me of all the times I went train spotting in Derbyshire when I was younger. Really like the feature of locomotive features, one on the GER locos would be nice. Keep up the good work and stay safe James

[@hornbymag]

Many thanks James!

[@AmeryJunction]

Great video loverly layout

[@hornbymag]

Thanks Nathan!

[@stevesjagcetera]

As always enjoyed watching. Some great pointers in this edition. Completed my rock face and river over the weekend so this was pretty timely!

[@Coling92]

Great video 👍👍

[@hornbymag]

Thanks!

[@rachelwalker4171]

The dog should always be a part of the show - deserves more than the bloopers - just bought my boyfriend a subscription to the magazine - shame it doesn't come with a Jess update 🙈🤣🐕

[@hornbymag]

We're spoilt for choice here with 'Lulu' the cocker and 'Luna' the husky cross.

[@MrScottmac99]

Yes, the couplings are horrible, but one thing I LOVE about your videos is that everything runs as close to scale speed as you can get it to :-)

[@Finnertoncentralmodelrailway]

Liking the new feature

[@hornbymag]

Thanks Brian!

[@bulleidboy1]

Brilliant - if you ever need inspiration - watch Mike at work. Roll on the next edition.

[@hornbymag]

Its coming 🙌

[@uttum87]

That is fantastic. Laying grass is so much more sophisticated than when I was a lad. But then what can you do when you lived in a brown paper bag? The most we had was coloured woodflocks ;)

[@hornbymag]

Which still has a place nowadays 😀

[@scalesmodellingmagic5883]

Crikey 7 am hopefully I’ll be there mates

[@hornbymag]

Hehe

[@Railway.Enthusiast.1989]

I love the Intercity Swallow livery on that class 50.

[@hornbymag]

Its nice!

[@billmoore1936]

Yes I am having a little bit of trouble with a point motor on my is Peco one which goes under the broads is got a extended rod the hole in the broad should this be 12mm in Diameter

[@hellothere6023]

Great video as always lads and congrats finishing Totley Dale, but a layout is never finished is it. Fun fact, I saw the Class 20 HNRail 20311 at Sheffield train station 2 years ago working the treatment train

[@hornbymag]

Thanks! And good spot

[@andrewdking]

What's that nice little 1930s looking black car please ? Its lower gloss finish really looks right in the video anyway.

[@lornaelliott6670]

Loved seeing Topley Dale develop over the months. Hope it's not the end of layout building tips and techniques. What is the brand of static grass that is used. The colours are very realistic.

[@hornbymag]

Hi Lorna, fear not Topley Dale will return for bigger and better Improvements (which may have already started 😉). In the mean time Richard is building a layout for the next couple of Shows. The first of which airs on Friday at 8pm.

[@colinmorrisondavies3709]

Love the modelling and the content. However I’m not sure if it’s my setup or if there’s a problem with the camera frame rate but for me the locos and trains are very jumpy in my picture.

[@steveluckhurst2350]

must be a problem at your end. No problem here.

[@hornbymag]

Hmmm there can be frame drops in places, will explore our options

[@438fpv]

i noticed that too, amazing work as always from you guys but it was distracting at times

[@Hanzo.Azmodan]

I have the same problem that anything moving across the screen looks like stop-motion video. I was wondering if it may be the result of me watching on a 4k screen at 144hz whilst the camera used may be somewhat lower in resolution? Either way its very distracting and spoils the good camera work. This is the only model website that shows this problem. @Wratting Road, I have a 600Mb internet so no no problem with the internet. @Steve Luckhurst, Just because you don't have a problem doesn't mean, "must be a problem at your end" which is a very unhelpful remark.

[@438fpv]

@@Hanzo.Azmodan I'm assuming it's potentially a codec issue? I was only watching 1080p and still had the issue. Think it is something on the KZbin side of things.

[@paulpilkington1797]

Like how the scenery has come together. Looks good. An improvement in my humble opinion would be to weather the front of the viaduct it looks far too uniform and bright and it would be good to see a way of masking those obvious vertical joints. Excellent running session

[@hornbymag]

Its on the list Paul, many thanks!

[@mauricepoole3644]

Could we be told please what the music was to accompany this video? Appreciate the video too.

[@rhiwderinraytube]

Lovely work. I just think the viaduct stonework is too clean?? I bought the Magnorail system because I found the Faller road system too restrictive for Older British vehicles, will be interesting to see how you convert some. However, it all adds to the expense...!!

[@hornbymag]

Keeps us busy too Ray haha

[@Rosegrove8f]

What is the beautiful piano music that accompanies the video?

[@josefbuckland]

Hey umm this layout are the points/turnouts Manual or are there motors underneath? I never actually noticed til today but look just to be stock but correct me if im worng lol Im really thinking my next layout will be wire in tube seems so much more hands on and engaging automation is not for me sitting down and watchin it all go round is not as fun as driiving and playing then again I never did grow up. Always a good watch another fan from Australia

[@hornbymag]

Hiya, most have point motors while others are still manual

[@tomriches7114]

Another Great show :), what colour/type of paints do you use to paint the tunnel portals?

[@WillBowenclassiccars]

Wish my layout was like this!

[@hornbymag]

Slowly but surely

[@jonathanbrown8923]

Hi was the build of the mine building covered in one of the monthly magazines, if so what issue was it in?

[@Ti_Daley]

speaking of signal boxes, or rather, signals. shouldn't there be another signal to control trains stopping for the quarry track. my guess would be it sharing the same post as the yellow distant

[@silkytrack8091]

Brilliant video - well done chaps. What were you using to create the hedges/bushes above the new rocks?

[@hornbymag]

We use Woodland scenics fine leaf foliage. :)

[@eottoe2001]

Could you tell me how high above the floor is the layout? Thank you.

[@hornbymag]

140cm :)

[@derricksmiles6624]

Love the modelling and content, however is the link for your website broken, keep getting connection refused?

[@hornbymag]

Working for us Derrick, www.keymodelworld.com/

[@peterfowler7189]

Is oo gauge the same as ho gauge

[@steveluckhurst2350]

Great content as always, but may I respectfully make the following observations: When filming a model train the more acute the camera angle, the less obvious the lack of corridor connections is! Although it is quite common practice to hide the corner of a layout under a scenic hill, it is best to allow one car length between the end of a curve and the tunnel portal. That way the line will look straight. To my mind, seeing a train exiting a tight radius tunnel just looks wrong. As you can tell, this is a particular annoyance of mine! 😊

[@hornbymag]

Everything's a compromise in this hobby haha

[@SteveS3667]

If Topley Dale was N Gauge what size would it be be please?

[@hornbymag]

8ft x 5ft :)

Ouch - that Bachmann 20 has a heck of a wobble!

Its proberbly out rolling road

[@whistlingspy]

What are the dimensions of Topley Dale?

[@hornbymag]

16x 10

[@tonyblackie3277]

Love the content, but why at 27:32ff are you advertising the competition?? Pretty sure Bachmann wouldn't be advertising Hornby in their content. Hornby may soon be coming back into profit but surely it would need to be clear about it's competition. A own goal :/

[@hornbymag]

Hornby Magazine isn't the same company as Hornby Hobbies. It allows our editorial team to be non bias 😊

Hi, favourite er all of them lol Steve

[@hornbymag]

Thanks

[@migranthawker2952]

What is Topley Dale based on?

[@hornbymag]

The Peak District

[@decidedly_retro]

The lights on the Bachmann Peak were *FAR* too bright. The originals had something like a 60 watt bulb in the sealed beam lights.

[@gerardburton3741]

What will happen to Topley Dale when you have finished it.

[@hornbymag]

Itll get bigger! Oops did I say that outloud!

I had ordered a lot of other items from Hornby; however, I cancelled the rest, I also cancelled my subscription to the Hornby Magazine. Something rotten in the state of Demark

[@hornbymag]

Thats a shame David, Hornby Magazine is a separate company to Hornby Hobbies. :-)

[@paulpaxtop1580]

I wonder if you are going to do a little more work on the road. Roads aren’t uniform light grey, road markings aren’t pristine white. Roads are often patched and the edges darker , they often have wear lines where traffic runs, they include drains and other bits of metal work which are set into the road and attract dirt and weeds, roads attract litter and are often randomly stained. Roads are almost never flat they have a camber and slope especially round corners. In urban areas the curbs and pavements are also really complicated. Roads to often look like yours even on the best layouts, they should be a real challenge to model.

[@hornbymag]

Its on the ever growing list. 😀
