I GOT ANOTHER RUSTON at the National Festival of Railway Modelling.

[@sirmatsdubois2509]

You know you're a big name in The Railway World when your engine is turned into a miniature model. Twice.

[@lmm]

It's amazing to have it in Ready to Run form. It's really quite surreal

[@TheModelCentreTMC]

Thanks for your help with the packing away at the end of the show, Lawrie & team! H

[@lmm]

Thanks for everything guys. Was a pleasure to help

[@Taggart00]

Thanks for the cookies

[@ChrisHessert]

Despite living in America, and being a 3 rail 0 gauge guy (mainly pre-WWII American stuff), I enjoyed this almost as much as you did being there! Well done.

[@lmm]

I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@forrestrobin2712]

When I saw a pop up saying you'd bought another Ruston, I thought "OMG he's done it again" before realising it was another 7mm scale one 😂. Classic manic laugh from you there Lawrie. Well done mate! It'd be good to catch up again in 2025. I'll be back to blighty for another road trip to Wales in Ti'fourTwo. With son William and my brother in law we intend (among other things) to complete our exploration of the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland of 2023 with a trip from Porthmadog to Caernavon.

[@lmm]

Oh excellent - let me know!

[@forrestrobin2712]

@lmm indeed I will!!

[@bentullett6068]

It is incredible how shows are assembled and disassembled. Done various shows over the years from setting up stands for various companies I have worked at, to recently taking down model railway's at the end of shows and its always more interesting than the show itself.

[@lmm]

It's quite an amazing atmosphere isn't it

[@williamsantangelo]

Thank You Lawrie, what a splendid time indeed!

[@lmm]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@andrewthorpe2539]

Now that was NICE! TMC, great team there and your Ruston! Wow! Fantastic.

[@lmm]

Thank you very much!

[@QALibrary]

that 31 total breaks the laws of sound and physics due to being run just on DC

[@lmm]

Doesn't it just! Genuinely impressed with it

[@clockwork3494]

I love how you can just see Lawrie visibly admiring his model engine of his own real engine I can only imagine how exciting it must be for your very own engine to become an officially produced scale model by one of _the_ big model manufacturers, now it's been done _twice_ Now all we need is a picture of smol and baby Ruston with big Ruston

[@lmm]

It's a really surreal feeling. Very excited to have been part of it

[@BigRed-dr6we]

@20:13 been after these for a while. I have all my rolling stock in so called dust proof display cabinets. Nope. It still gets in. All of their boxes are in storage and covered so out of sunlight to stop them sun fading. But, it is the dust on my rolling stock that gets me. I use a Makita 18v DUB185Z small garden blower that has 3 settings that I use to keep all clean. It is great for doing buildings etc., on your layout too. Used on setting 1, maybe 2 but, *never setting 3* as you will damage stuff. You never see anyone running Bayer Garrets. I have Heljans 2-8-0+0-8-2 bought from now sadly gone Hattons. Oh it ran rough from the box from day one. I sent it to Olivia trains in Sheffield to have them swap out & upgrade the motors, gear boxes, fit sound & Seuthe smoke with engine box flicker with running lights & engine box flicker. Runs like a dream now and has phenomenal traction.

[@lmm]

Oh that's super cool! I have one, but have never had the chance to do anything with it

[@thetrainman2013]

Now you need a 7/14 Ruston and the Ruston army is complete!

[@conradharcourt8263]

Love the GT3; it won't be long before the model has covered more miles than the original did in its lifetime 😊

[@lmm]

Certainly the DHP1 will cover more on people's layouts than the real did!

[@IronHorseRailways]

I feel .. that I need a 48DS... OO of course, but yes they've been on my list for a while... Pretty tiny shunty!❤️❤️❤️

[@lmm]

On sale now at TMC if you want to get into the big scale! ... And some in oo too!

[@lostisleminstrel]

Love your newest Rushton. The manufacturer did a great job. Loved the sound module in the DC diesel locomotive. Hopefully they'll catch the hooligan going around and spray painting your model cars. I live in California and the train "art" is sometimes very good. Your modular layout is awesome and it looks to be a good design for setup and takedown. Loved all the good looking railroading going on in this video.

[@lmm]

Whilst I don't agree with graffiti you can't argue that some of the people behind it are extremely talented! Glad you liked the coaches though, we're really proud of them.

[@citricamoeba]

Loved seeing the show from an exhibitor's perspective. Great video as always!

[@lmm]

Thank you very much!

[@switchgeer6519]

my model of your ruston also just arrived. i don't have the track to run it, but it's a lovely little model all the same!

[@lmm]

Thanks for getting one! It's a really nice model!

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

Great video on train thanks for the vlog thanks lee

[@lmm]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@GreatNW]

I model u.s. but almost all DCC equipment here can run on dc. It's and sound impeticular is controlled by monitoring voltage applied. I don't know all the EU decoder manufacturers, but I believe all esu decoders have this feature.

[@lmm]

There's a lot of fear around running dcc on dc and blowing the chip

[@brillbusbootcamp2320]

Very valid fear! The most common DC train controllers in the US absolutely WILL fry decoders. Pulse DC power is unfortunately common…

[@michaelhayes1678]

Loved the video! Thank you

[@lmm]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sambowz9077]

You are really having fun when they have to run you out after close. 🤣👍

[@lmm]

Oh it was amazing fun

[@jappedut9009]

Very fine boxes they have for the locomotives in my youth it was just polystyrene and cardboard

[@lmm]

Modern boxes are quite fiddly

[@EMEME27655]

Great model of your loco Lawrie

[@lmm]

Thank you!

[@richardsweeney197]

Great video, your clubs layout looked great! Great Ruston!! Loved all the things TMC gave your club. Congrats on the new Adam's Radial, I want one some day too. Where do you get your storage boxes and how much do they run. We have a similar product here in the U. S. Bou they are heavy Duty cardboard and too expensive your look great and far more durable.

[@lmm]

They're from a company called trainsporters - find them here trainsporters.com

[@Hmt-oly]

Nice video!

[@lmm]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@harrisonallen651]

That’s a good model

[@lmm]

I'm so pleased with it!

[@Taggart00]

Oh you can see my car in the background

[@lmm]

Regular feature on the channel

[@Infinitybal1233]

Now you need the Barrett Steam Models 1:32 48DS >:D

[@lmm]

In all the scales

[@paulhorn2665]

I do not know Graffiti on model trains. I see this sh*t all the time in the real world.

[@HowardLeVert]

?

[@lmm]

That's what most of their normal graffiti things are. We didn't think modern stock fitted in with our fictional heritage railway. We think they're really cool

[@carolinecleaveley-q1r]

Hi Lawrie. i too use track magic and it works well. caroline

[@lmm]

We were really impressed! There we no issues with running

[@carolinecleaveley-q1r]

Will get one at Donny in February. Caroline

[@RG-Models86]

I need to save up and get my little O gauge Sir William.

[@lmm]

It's a lovely thing - and on sale at TMC!

[@adriannash2705]

I like those boxes you guys were using to store the engines and rolling stock, I’ve been using fishing tackle boxes for most of my N scale stuff though I need to get some foam for the sections so the stuff I have in them don’t lose any couplers

[@lmm]

They're super boxes!

[@adriannash2705]

@ do you have a link in the video so I can check them out?

[@brillbusbootcamp2320]

“Give it the beans!” Wait, which one of the twin long-haired rail nerds’ channels am I watching again? Edit: “No, that’s a nice speed.” OK, that confirms it, NOT Hyce!

[@lmm]

I think we get confused to which one we are too

[@Ashtonsvintageandclassic]

Are they going to make a OO gauge version of it?

[@lmm]

No, Hornby does a 48ds, but so far hasn't done either of mine

[@ThomasTenma]

So, will you ever or have you done a model vehicle show bingo?

[@lmm]

I did see a bingo card doing the rounds on social media a while ago

[@notmuch_23]

*seeing Lawrie's Ruston 48 is a railroad model * Oh that's nice. *seeing that it's made by Heljan * Uh, hate to break it to you Mr. Rose, but from what I've seen on Sam's Trains... ...Heljan makes complete, uh, how do I put this nicely... ...very _low quality_ models... ...and if you don't understand that, Heljan makes complete shit.

[@lmm]

Heljan O guage is generally pretty decent.

[@notmuch_23]

@@lmm then why are their OO offerings so bad?

[@lmm]

@@notmuch_23 they're not. I've got a few of their models, as have other club members.

[@notmuch_23]

@@lmm I wonder how Sam keeps getting bad Heljan locos then...

[@lmm]

Can't speak for whatever he does, but we've had some running in previous videos. They've given no issues after a proper run at a show. I've got several other models which have run on my old layout without issue. I think that generally the diesels are OK - I hear people have had problems with steam, but I've personally not had any issues.

[@PeterJewell2]

Lawrie, why do you end up with huge piles of nuts, bolts, and washers as you dismantle the Modular? Surely there is a better way to assemble your legs and struts so you can avoid the trail of discarded ironmongery? (Secondly, why don't you dismantle the bits into a tub??)

[@lmm]

Tubs would be a good idea!

[@callumhudson802]

[@lmm]

Good work!
