A lot of very skilful carpentry involved; but a good temporary location. Great design; will be very effective. Thanks for sharing.

[@davestrains]

Fabulous job!!!!!!!!!!!!!😊

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Thanks!

[@jonathanchester5916]

It's very relaxing and useful format of video making - and a welcome sight to see someone else doing the hard work to make the magic happen. Very nicely done, keep up the good efforts!

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Cheers, I try my best to make videos I myself would enjoy.

[@dibsyardshuntinglayout]

Great to see! An immense amount of work and some great intermediate solutions to give you all round running.

[@_RandomPea]

Watched in full this morning 🌅 really like the layout, i think the attic is fine mate, plenty of people do it for it not too be that much a concern. Look forward to seeing your scenics on the other modules, very talented modeller. P.s. managed to get the clear PVA glue to do my river in the end 👍

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Cheers, my only concern real concern was the temperature extremes but I'm sure all will be fine, as you say loads of people use attics and lofts. Nice one with the pva. I've used it in the past but struggled to get it to dry clear but sounds like you've managed okay.

[@_RandomPea]

I need to think about how to do my control panel soon, what will you be doing for that? DCC aren't you?

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

@@_RandomPea going to be building some panels using MERG electronics. But also going to try and do the branchline entirely with cobalt point Motors and cobalt lever switches

[@charlie1872]

Great intro 👍

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Thanks

[@peteknight3687]

1st time viewer. I really enjoyed watching the video, and loved your choice of music.

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Thank you very much

[@MattyP62618]

Really great looking layout & utilisation of the space! Looking forward to seeing the progress! Have to admit as well, having lived in Norfolk for basically all my live, I've never heard of Parrs! I'll have to take a trip there next time I'm in Lowie!!

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Thanks! Parrs is a great little shop, becoming more and more of model shop rather than just for track and rolling stock. Plenty of scenic items and materials now.

[@user-hc7nj5yt8t]

I’ve lived in north Norfolk all my life and I haven’t even heard of it, is it in east or west Norfolk?

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

@@user-hc7nj5yt8t lowestoft mate, it's only a small shop but well worth a visit

[@MattyP62618]

​@HorsehayRailwayModeller good to know! Will absolutely be taking a trip that way then at some point!!

[@standclear502]

Ive been following your build from conception and love how your progessing, i like the period music as it really helps invoke nostalgia of yesteryear 😍

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

As one of my other hobbies is music I do love selecting the backing music for my videos.

[@alyro-ls1dv]

yeah, this was showing not at least that railway modellers do need some kind of a loop not to loose interest. Thanks for the video and it makes me thinking how i might start, when i find the place. no loft or basement free or there at all with the flattop on my house. but someway it shall be kind of a circle to get trains which pile up next door running and not to loose mojo. Big thanks again and all the best for the future development, model and personal wise. albrecht

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

I'm still an advocate for small end to end layouts and diorama, but there's just something about watching trains run round with a pint that you can't beat

[@unreasonable4rce]

Well done. You’re definitely a high achiever.

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Thank you very much

[@_RandomPea]

Cool, something to watch later. Cheers 🍾

[@_RandomPea]

Ps. Intro is brilliant 👏

[@tomtative]

A lovely video from start to finish! You have a great layout and I look forward to the next videos :)

[@tomtative]

Did you build your viaduct? That section is fantastic! Saved for inspo later

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Tha k you very much

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

@@tomtative thanks mate, it's just a wills kit. Full video on the channel called " the viaduct" if you want more!

[@brucemacklin2969]

Good stuff mate..!

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Thanks!

[@dinmorejunctionmodelrailway]

What a result David. I can see a lot of hardwork has gone into achieving your goal. I use 64 itre Really Useful Boxes for all my empty loco and rolling stock. Accurascale will not fit width way only using the length of the box. I also use tge sane box with the addition of mdf trays made by a Welsh company who's name fails me right now. What I like about these boxes is they stack really well.

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

I'll have to look into that. Boxes have never been a problem for me before as I've but never had enough stock but now I have boxes coming out of my ears!

[@dinmorejunctionmodelrailway]

@HorsehayRailwayModeller e-bay 124276919920 4x trays with 64 litre box. Or the same supplier lists build your own trays from a kit of parts and buy your own 64 litre boxes locally.

[@davidorf3921]

Nicely done, but can I ask where your street lights are from that we see around 2:40 ?

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Cheers, they're from viessmann (purchased from gaugemasters website). Believe I show the product code in the shop diorama video.

[@davidorf3921]

@@HorsehayRailwayModeller Thnks, yup found them they might be perfect for my Swiss village street lights

[@TonySmith-cd7jo]

😅How have you strengthened the ceiling joists to take all the extra weight ?

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

I'm hoping all is fine as its an old house and we'll built. I counter battoned the extra floor for storage with 2x3 and the heavy scenic boards are mounted between the rafters and a very large beam. 👍

[@LetsGo_41]

Hello. I am intrigued by your point setup. I was wondering if you could advise what points you used to create that? I've tried to recreate it on AnyRail but have failed so far.

[@LetsGo_41]

Don't worry. I have found what you used. Tim

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

@@LetsGo_41 sle92 and sle91 with a double slip and diamond crossing. Had to significantly cut them up with a dremel to make them fit and then solder them together.

[@glynrowe2518]

I hate this new scourge of KZbin posting videos as upcoming, You think there a new video to watch and when you goto the channel you can not watch it

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Sorry mate, thought I'd give it a go and see what people think. If the overall opinion is negative then I won't do again in future.

[@glynrowe2518]

@@HorsehayRailwayModeller Thank's. I think it's great for something really big like the start of a brand new project, but it is getting so over used.

[@prettyaveragegamers]

Completely understand where you're coming from, but I only think it's overused when it's big-time content creators with millions of subscribers. I think when it's used like this, it's a really nice addition. Plus, it gives you a sweet lil video to look forward to 😊
