Liberty Junction EP46 damaged loco changes of plan and chaos over new accurascale 31 😆

[@raynorton5920]

Great video, new layout plans look class mate!

[@doubleodave]

Cheers Ray, kept me busy through a few rainy days at least 👍

[@FredWilbury]

Just wing it Dave it’ll all be good when you done the layout 😊

[@bramelsheretan]

I spent 8 months with anyrail, and my final plan came down to a simple two station single track design with my must have shunting options. You did a lot more with it than I did. What I would suggest is that you turn part of your fiddle-yard into part scenic, where you have the through lines make them a cutting with retaining walls facing, and then have the front of these a marshalling-yard which you can then make scenic. On top of the hidden tracks create a lift-out scenic board and I'd suggest a small village/town scene

[@doubleodave]

Some good suggestions there mate, am tweaking around at the plan as we speak 👍👍

[@kevinhickson8099]

Hi Dave followed you for a good while.I’ve just pulled my layout down it was 12x10.now extending it to 18ft x8.so far I’ve spent 6 months planning it. As winter is only a few weeks away.i may have to leave construction of my new room until spring.

[@Andrew-mb8xp]

Ayup. Tis lookinglike a real project. Looking forward to coming along for the ride.. Oooh you do know how to tickle,, Starts off with a few 37's IN A ROW!! I mean who could resist. will power were gone from then on.

[@doubleodave]

Yeah should be good mate, certainly will keep me busy for a bit 👍 I’ll chuck in the odd 37 when I can 😇

[@rdrhouse]

it may be a good idea to do a search on walk in fridges. I had one many years ago and it was the cheapest portable building i ever bought. Amazing level of insulation, ridiculously quiet and stable for temperature. When the compressor part fails and they get a bit old they are basically condemned and being expanded foam they cost a fortune to get rid of. They make incredible rooms and the only downside is they don't come with a floor, so you'll have to put a concrete slab down to plonk it on.

[@doubleodave]

I’ve seen the cold room panels before I’ll research them good suggestion, concrete slab won’t be an issue 👍

[@AshWeir]

Liking the look of Liberty 2, looking forward to seeing it develop 👍🏻

[@doubleodave]

Cheers pal 👍

[@ChobertonJunction]

New layout will look awesome with those long lengths of track opening up great sweeping shots. I have reached the same point where I realised as I always knew I would, that my present 3 metre end to end layout is to small. But I have nowhere to go at present. So very excited about your project and to see how you get on.

[@Ross-FNL]

Get the shed built Dave and then you’ll have your floor space to work off. I would definitely keep your bridge over your two main lines, really impressed with your anyrail skills. Great video!

[@doubleodave]

I’ve come up with a plan for that mate your comment inspired me, wait for the update in the next video 👍👍

[@duncanrhodes4778]

Another belter. Liberty 2 looking very exciting. Planning time well spent. Crack on Dave.

[@doubleodave]

Cheers Duncan, hoping to get the regular bits and bobs out too, just had a funny few weeks with work and stuff 👍

[@ArthurMewlen]

Belting video. It's good to see all the plans and hear your musings. All good ideas, too. Definitely don't get too hung up on the dimensions side of things. You'll make things fit with an open room to plan around. If you spend too long, you'll be against your own ideas and do nothing. I've been there, pal, and probably still am. All the best. Cheers for another video.

[@doubleodave]

Cheers, good advice I was done with that last plan but then I had a brainwave so might have tweaked it but I’m gonna leave it. Soon 😄

[@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY]

Looks like a mammoth plan you're formulating there, Dave. We're looking forward to seeing it progress...cheers James 🙂👍

[@doubleodave]

Don’t tell anyone james but that big factory is actually a custard plant 😐

[@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY]

@doubleodave mum's the word Dave, I know nothing. But if I did, I'd say it was a good plan. Oh, if my grandson's next video goes to plan, I'm sure you'll like it 😁👍

[@FredWilbury]

Just wing it Dave it’ll all be good when you done the layout 😊ps I’m envious of size of shed

[@doubleodave]

That’s the plan mate, my mrs keeps asking too many details about it so I’ll just have to blast it up as fast as I can before she can say “you’re not doing that!”

[@natbug3891]

1:24 I recently purchased 10 Cavalex TEA wagons from Unlimited Models, and unfortunately, every single one of them had issues. All of the wagons I purchased had visible glue marks, with several detail pieces either broken or detached. The customer service team was very helpful I recently purchased 10 Cavalex TEA wagons from Unlimited Models, and unfortunately, every single one of them had issues. All of the wagons I purchased had visible glue marks, with several detail pieces either broken or detached. The customer service team at Unlimited Models was very helpful and sent a replacement, but sadly, the new wagons had the same issues. I eventually gave up and decided to return them all, which was unfortunate. I also emailed Cavalex directly, but they didn’t seem particularly concerned about the problem.

[@doubleodave]

When stuff is premium money it has to be perfect doesn’t it - no excuses!

[@DavidPeacock1972]

You should Paint a light blue stripe to replace the red stripe on the NSE coach. Recreate the 90s Regional Railways North Wales and North West loco hauled services when they acquired a few NSE coaches. You already have the 47s and 37s, so it will not look out of place.

[@doubleodave]

I’ll look into that matey cheers

[@HighFell]

Well done for cracking on with plan, I can’t get away with computer planning things. Paper, pencil, rubber I can manage 🤣 Doing shed next is probably a good thing, the plan will be going round in your head while you build shed and you might have some more ideas, but looks like you have broken back of it anyway. I was always after long straights through a rural scene, it’s just nice to watch trains pass through. Tiny dab of superglue on a pin and Lady Di will be good as new 👍 Oh the track cleaning thing on a stick thing has a a proper name. ‘Track cleaner on end of a stick’ I can sell you a stick, but as it’s a proper model railway stick it’s overpriced, ordinary sticks don’t work. 👍

[@doubleodave]

I’ll take four sticks please. Yeah I’m looking forward to getting into it

[@ModelRailwayShed]

Hello Dave Shame you didn't make it to GETs be great to meet you. New plans looking good 👍👍

[@doubleodave]

I’ll be honest I’m so bad at planning stuff I really need to look at when the next decent show is and plan for it then I can make excuses and stay at home sitting on the sofa supping mugs of tea and playing on anyrail!

[@Proper_Chuffed]

A real shame about that Lady Spencer mate, honestly would see if Bachmann would send you a replacement part, or even body for it? Loving the new plan, definitely think your yard on ground level is the way to go. Also, super clever use of your programming track on the top there 👊 great update Davey

[@doubleodave]

Problem is mate I can’t even be arsed contacting them about it, Ken Bachmann’s got a massive temper and I don’t want to get on his bad side! I’ll glue it one day 👍

[@IronHorseRailways]

Tbh it was a cracking show, and the 31 is also ace mate - get yourself one!❤

[@doubleodave]

It’s the 50s I want 😉

[@melkitson]

You should convert to n gauge. You can get some really long runs going and so much more in the available space.

[@doubleodave]

I’m too much invested into the OO game now mate, plus I couldn’t do N it’s just too small for me to work with, TT more realistic but I like the OO I like big if I had the space and funds I’d go O 😃

[@GarthDavies-cd5oh]

I had a buffer missing from one of the 3 Accurascale class 37s I bought from TMC.. It wasnt easy trying to source a replacement buffer from Accurascale, having to scan receipts ( i had to do that at work) and then having to wait nearly 2 weeks until they got one in and had to glue it myself. Not great in my opinion.

[@doubleodave]

No it’s not great is it for such a cheap part

[@PeckhamHall]

Looks good 👍

[@doubleodave]

Cheers pal, tweaked it again but gonna start leaving it alone now

[@PeckhamHall]

@@doubleodave At the end of the day you've got to be pleased with the build plans otherwise what's the point 😁. I ordered some more little things that have been turning up for mine, got about 15 point and 55 yards of track (I thought more) a bridge etc. I'm going to make a little drs yard more of a diorama (as I've gone off the era already, need 60s to 70s) with automated locomotives leaving sheds and stopping for diesel and going back with a shed at each end just to iron out the pit falls in my handy work first. There's no one doing really anything interesting with DC powered locomotives and automation on KZbin like 1950's technology, it's a good job I'm a robot technician well programmer there's a lot of wiring on the robot heads, anyway I don't want to give the game away incase I do a video on it. If I do fancy operating them by hand I'm thinking I'll just get a HM7000 (mainly for sound) and a WiFi relay board x16, both should run the hole layout with my phone with DC locos but that will probably be for a larger layout, if you've got any suggestions let me know. Just need to find my soldering iron and I'm off to the races mate.

[@doubleodave]

That sounds great, only advice I can give is don’t forget what happened in that will smith film when all the robots turned into baddies! 😱 On a more serious note you should film it and get it on KZbin 👍

[@PeckhamHall]

@@doubleodave I did work at a place where a guy on the opposite shift got his back broke or badly injured around 20+ years ago, so you do have to be careful I suppose if you go near them when on auto. Anyway something bugging me (whilst on fish plate salvage) that locomotive of yours with the broke hand rail, it looked on camera the left side window was broken closest to the broken hand rail, is it just the camera or is it broke to, either way just saying case you missed it.

[@hotdogpilot6319]

Cheers Dave, great entertainment, shame you didn't make GETS... then there would have been 51 YT'ers lol.

[@doubleodave]

Haha I don’t really consider myself a KZbinr mate just a semi clueless bloke that happens to put a few vids online 😁

[@LaurenceHoward-f4h]

Yes just build the shed, sort out the rest once you’ve finished it. Will we still get the nonsense at liberty junction 2 or will that be on original liberty only?. It’s part of your repertoire now, so you can’t drop it or the rivet counters will start to multiply like cockroaches under your rolling stock. Worth waiting 2 weeks…. I wait 2 weeks for a dose of Charlie 😂

[@doubleodave]

To be honest mate - it’s no act I don’t take anything very serious so can guarantee it’s going to be nonsense all away 😆

[@NewModelRailway1]

You best get familiar with exhibitions coz I reckon at next year's GETS you'll get voted Hornby Magazine Railway Modelling KZbinr of the Year.

[@doubleodave]

Haha! Not sure about that one pal but cheers all the same 👍👍😇

[@medwaypeninsulaMR]

Hi Dave -I did not make GETS either ...................... Cheers Kev

[@doubleodave]

Cheers Kev, you going next year? 👍

[@medwaypeninsulaMR]

Hi Dave I think I will this year I was doing a charity walk . I went last year and it was crazy rammed but I think it was down to Pete Waterman’s extra big layout this year seemed quieter.

[@StormmyStormmy]

Hi, great video catch up, Bachmann’s packaging is very poor compared to other manufacturers, Heljans puts Bachmann’s to shame and with the price Bachmann want for their items is not good at all, bits and pieces fall off unfortunately but it’s up to you what you do about it, fix or send back? I’ve never had any issues with bits falling of my Bachmann purchases to date, I’ve picked up my Accurascale class 37 and broke a bit off, Accurascale sent me a new bit within a few days, great running session Dave, unfortunately I’m not into weathered models but hey if it floats your boat then fair play, if your interested there’s a set of 8 Bachmann unweathered auto ballaster flat top wagons on DreamBay for £700! Some sellers are smoking some serious stuff to put those kind of prices on items like that, a set of 3 of the same wagons went for £180 a few days before, all 00 gauge, thanks for sharing.

[@doubleodave]

Ah man I was wanting 8 autoballasters for £1500 so they’re no good at that comedy price 🤭 I’ve never had issue before - it was £140 in the sale so possibly was broke in the shop hence the price - not that they said that. I’ll glue it one day

[@StormmyStormmy]

Sorry they were curved top models.

[@Wayne56089]

I’d try and glue that front handrail pal, they are fragile at best of times and trying to remove it will probably destroy it 😂 Looking forward to you eventually starting the new layout 👍

[@doubleodave]

Technically cutting those branches off that tree is starting it - I need some glue as I’ve ran out but yeah I’ll sort it. There’s no decoder in it at the minute so it’s not going anywhere 🙃
