Hi Eric,really enjoyed your layout. Me being a total Saddo and someone who drives through the real Harefield every weekend to visit relatives I am trying in my mind to place your station. In my mind it's between the recently renamed pub by the canal and the shops by the roundabout.Such a station would make L B Hillingdon sort out the dodgy parking along that piece of road. HS 2 traffic lights get on your nerves.No one works weekends and shut down for Christmas.Still have the lights at weekends.

A convincing representation of an LTU station. The Train-Tech indicator board is used to good effect. Moving the camera further away from the subject and zooming in will increase the depth of field, bringing subjects such as the information displayed on the Train-Tech indicator into focus!

Hi Eric. I've just discovered your channel and I must say I'm so impressed with your great selection of locos and rolling stock. I'm also impressed with the scenery and the track layout itself. I know it's slightly out of place, but I was surprised to see the Isle of Wight's 'Island Line' tube stock. Would love to own a rake myself but I feel it's something you have converted from standard EFE stock. Also love the 2 LT Underground diesels, something that I would love to acquire if my layout wasn't GWR period (pre-nationalisation) as I fear there would be no way to run them without looking out of place. Maybe it's time I started creating a 'London' layout. It must have have taken you a long time to put together and build everything, but I suspect you had much fun with the process of designing and construction, along with the satisfaction of its completion and general all round look; I know I would be. Do keep it going as there are very few layouts on YT that depict the London Underground scene. Much appreciated. Paul. 👍👍👍
@UndergroundEric2 жыл бұрын
Thanks paul, sorry i took a while to reply, i often miss comments. Yeah the 483 is a converted EFE, motorised, with dcc sound and my own file. The 484 is a metromodels bodyshell ect. Out of place is up to you, its your layout at the end of the day, pretend its a preserved line! It does take a long time, the trouble is i get bored and only half finish stuff! The 484 is proof of that 😂

That was excellent. Good variety of unusual, interesting stock and great use of a vast array of sounds, including many that a lot of modellers don't bother to use. The LT bias makes this quite a "niche" layout and that's what I enjoy about it. No offence to your 66s but we've all seen plenty of them. Not so many battery locos running around, either models or 1:1 scale. Will we see one of the big manufacturers release something with working doors one day, or will you beat them to it?😁
