I love the layout and how you tell the stories. Nice to hear about you playing the organ at home and in the churches, before I retired I worked for a company that produce the electronics for pipe organs. Great vidoes so keep them coming.

[@melchestermodelrailway]

Interesting to hear that, thanks very much.

Hi Chris. Your talent is absolutely superb. Wish I had a 1/4 of it. About the only thing I have the same as you are the surface point motors. Seen a lot of your videos alway leave me spell bound. Thanks Chris. Thumbs up thumped 👍 .... Pete....

[@melchestermodelrailway]

Thank-you Pete, that's very kind of you to say.

That 'not a Southern' signal box looks grand. Being an American who has long had a an interest, though something of a low key interest, in UK trains it is only within the past several years, and through the Trainz railroad simulator that I've even begun to be aware of the differences between signal box styling.

Melchester.....Oh Wow!!!!! Do Roy and Blackie and the lads, still trot out on the pitch come Saturday?

[@melchestermodelrailway]

That would be great, I really need a pitch!

Fantastic video matey was wondering when you were going to post again. Just some issues with very quiet audio at times during the video. Cheers Shaun

[@melchestermodelrailway]

Thanks Shaun, yes I had some problems with my mic so the narration was a bit quiet at times.

Hello, it's a very nice layout 👍, I have a question why did you choose switching motors on the table and not under the running surface?

[@melchestermodelrailway]

Thanks. It was my first layout using point motors so I wasn't too sure if everything would work, so I used surface motors in case I had to move the location of points and track. Also the layout is only 9 inches above the floor so access underneath is not the easiest although not impossible.

@@melchestermodelrailway ok i understand. It’s realy a nice layout and i like it very well. Thank you very much. 👍😃
