I've literally just started building my own OO9 layout, mostly using leftovers from my main layout. What a coincidence!

[@richardswiderski4985]

Very interesting video Jen.Shame thought you were going to leave the hole in the middle you could pop your head through and see the layout from a completely different perspective .Looking forward to the next video.👍

[@GameHammerCG]

Don’t give her ideas or we’ll see some weird necklace layout or a cosplay of one of the animated segments from the Sledge Hammer video!

[@CM-ARM]

Jenny I think you are on to something here. I'm looking forward to watching your build. Have fun, Chris

[@Bigboy4018]

Very bold building over a carpet!! I'd have glue all over it if I tried that.

[@GameHammerCG]

Who says she didn’t as well? ;)

[@2010ditta]

More power to your elbow Jenny...I enjoyed that, here's tp part 2.

[@simontrainsmodelrailway]

Looking forward to the update on this OO9 Layout but this was a lovely start to the new layout.

[@richardashby5644]

Hi Jenny. I bought a Heljan L&B loco quite some time ago when they first came out because I thought they were so lovely. I don’t have immediate plans for a layout but seeing your loco on a well wagon has shown me how I might display it and enjoy on my OO layout. Thanks.

[@richardashby5644]

Hi Jenny. I’ve been looking for a suitable well wagon. Which model are you using and does the deck come as part of the model? Thanks.

[@disguisedprepper]

Great idea to use that off cut. I'm looking forward to seeing you progress with this build . All the best.

[@patrickwebb7311]

Thanks for the series Jenny, I'm going to save these videos for later reference.

[@tjfSIM]

Really enjoyed this first episode Jenny, and looking forward to watching this take shape! I have to say the camera work and editing on your videos is outstanding as well - it’s always been good but I’ve noticed it’s really gone up a level in the last few months - i think you’re quickly becoming one of the most popular British model railway channels on KZbin, and deservedly so.

[@GameHammerCG]

Thank you for the kind words about the editing. I’m always aiming to improve the visuals in the show. :)

[@tjfSIM]

@@GameHammerCG No worries Zoe, credit where credit's due - you're both doing a smashing job, always enjoy your videos :)

[@lifestyleunleashed8046]

I'm looking forward to following this build. I'm just starting a new build as well , so it will be interesting to see how you get on as mine progresses too

[@mattymattman2296]

nice one jenney and zoe

[@michaeldavies9600]

An interesting looking project i will look forward to further updates Jenny.

[@gbjanuary]

I’m just starting in the hobby so this is going to be useful 👍🏻😁

[@PhilPage227]

Very interesting Jenny.

[@shanghai264359]

Great start to the new build Jenny! I'll be following your progress with great interest as I have a 'paper plan' to insert a small 009 layout into my existing 00/H0 layout in the form of a separate module. I currently have an 'industrial' module and plan others so I can swap them round for a bit of variety. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the next one.

[@michaeldavies9600]

I was thinking the same sort of thing maybe going over bridges etc,on a stop start system from one end of my layout to the other.

[@shanghai264359]

@@michaeldavies9600 That sounds excellent! I think I'd have room for a circle of track much like Jenny with the emphasis on scenery.

[@fredtedstedman]

you are amazing - very professional job .

[@martinpattison4018]

A very nice idea, I shall watch with interest. I am at the planning stage of my baseboards and as I will be using underboard mounted servo point control motors I need to plan carefully where I will put the battens across the boards to avoid the point motors. I am only going to use DC with some electronic controls. Martin. (Thailand)

[@mikeyandwho]

Excited for this build I'm really loving the channel at the mo good luck with the project 😊

[@SolarRailway]

Interesting to hear different views on baseboard methods

[@modelrailwaynoob]

Looking forward to seeing the scenics

[@glowskulls100]

Thank you I am also about to start making my own first layout using 009 plus a bit of 00/H0 as well.

[@brianmorrison9168]

Just a simple question As a child I had a simple oval shaped train set .. didn’t every wee boy ? A simple Tri-ang transformer controlled the train .. clockwise for forward and anticlockwise for reverse .. easy, but that’s all it needed to do Now you see layouts with multiple interconnected tracks, sidings and of course numerous trains. How does the user control each separate train?

[@johnslade3104]

Very interesting looking project. Will you at sometime be showing at shows?

[@JenniferEKirk]

It is something I will certainly consider.

[@Warbler-Productions]

Jenny, have you seen the pictures of Welsh Pony that were released today in the new lined out livery, Glenn and his oldest did the work and it is fantastic. I can send you images via messenger if you’ve not seen them yet, show them on the Monday Club next week.

[@JenniferEKirk]

Yes they look very good!

[@JohnJohnson-cn9fh]

great concept jenny,ilooking forward to further video,s and the finished project i have built a micro 009 layout 20inches square a loop of n gauge track which i had left over,its worked pretty well.jpj

[@cj-gw5vt]

im so looking forward to this. i building a 009 gauge layout on a 10ft / 2ft board and have no clue on what to do. any ideas ?

[@JenniferEKirk]

That’s a lot of space! I’d say look to the Ffestiniog or one of the other Welsh narrow gauge lines for inspiration.

[@cj-gw5vt]

@@JenniferEKirk Thank you for the reply i was just thinking about the corris or talyllyn railways.

[@campbell166]

Do you use normal N gauge track for 009 locos ?

[@JenniferEKirk]

No it is OO9 track which means the sleepers are set up differently.

[@JenniferEKirk]

First!
