YDMR Engine Shed Tour - Part 1 - BR Standard Locomotives

[@AnthonyFincham-ij4cp]

Really enjoyed your video. A very realistic railway. I'm just starting out building my railway at the age of 74. I hope it's as good as yours. 👍

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you! Best of luck to you!

[@gregoryhale2202]

Hi Lewis, thanks for an interesting insight to those BR Standard Locomotives. Cheers Greg

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Greg 👍🏻

[@Bruno.Trains]

Excellent workmanship, fantastic layout. Love all those beautiful STEAM LOCOMOTIVES

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 😀

[@johnbrown9092]

Hi Mr Mouldy. Around 5 years ago I travelled on the footplate of the WD the full length of the KWVRailway. I knew the driver! Great locos. Cheers John

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Wow, I’d love to do that! Very lucky John!

[@johnbrown9092]

@@MouldyRaspberry On a high for around 6 months! It rained all the way and I was black as coal when I got off!

[@jamestailyour7348]

Yes I’d love all the background details to your layouts. Your passion is amazing.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks James 👍🏻

[@rhiwderinraytube]

Thanks for your great informative video. Its good to look behind the scenes. It does go to show how different a video is with added real sound. Looking forward to seeing more!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Ray!

[@paulisnotonfire]

This made me get my Austerity out after a long time in its box, just needs a good service. I do really like the 4MT and that's something I would like to get to add to my own fleet in the future. Cheers.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Cheers Paul - I agree, the Austerity is a good ‘un.

[@ModelMinutes]

your attention to detail is very impressive. Not only is the scenery incredibly well done, but all that extra effort you put into those locos is amazing too!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 👍🏻 The close ups when filming can be a bit unforgiving, I think that’s what motivate me to put in some extra effort 🤣

[@ModelMinutes]

@@MouldyRaspberry yeah, I have the same problem. Build a model, looks good by eye, then I edit the video and spot loads of rough areas 😂

[@wamgoc]

Love this video Lewis! Great weathering on your Locos! So realistic! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks! 😀

[@EITURKEY1]

Excellent video, the weathering is brilliant!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks!

[@chrisclark6192]

Hi Lewis. Superb stuff. All your locomotives look a lot better than the straight out of the box items. Towards the end of steam a lot of the steam locomotives were in a poor and neglected state and just the essential maintenance being carried out. Even the gwr were not often cleaned, which on express locomotives was rare. I can remember seeing lots of poor condition engines at New England shed and around the peterborough East Station. I can't even remember seeing a clean WD loco. Again great video. Cheers Chris.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Chris, good points. I used to live not far from where Peterborough East station once was. Some of the old sheds have been incorporated into a new development there which is good to see.

[@stevenkarnisky411]

I had raspberry pie today; not mouldy, however. Your painting and weathering efforts are consistent across your fleet. They all look as though they have seen the same sort of maintenance and worked in the same places and conditions over time. For one reason, or another, a couple locos received a bit of cosmetic help to look a litttle shinier. You are correct in that a number of this fleet could almost pass for American. Remove the buffers, add a headlight and "cowcatcher" and no one the wiser! Of course, for Americans, part of the charm of British railways are the "exotic" appearing steamers we do not see over here. And some of our common locomotives will appear "exotic" to GB eyes! As long as they run upon rails, we all like them! -Steve

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you Steve, appreciate it! I completely agree!

[@phil36310]

Hi Lewis, enjoyed the engine shed tour. I have the new Hornby Standard Class 2MT on my wish list. The MT's look very smart indeed - like the design. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Filip

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Philip - agreed!

Thanks Tony 👍🏻

[@chootube3364]

Amazing video really interesting to see your fleet. Looking forward to seeing the standard 2 on the layout it's one of my favourites of the BR range

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you - me too!

[@SC68]

Hi Lewis, A Very enjoyable and informative review of your BR standard loco fleet with lots of interesting details even for an N gauge modeller! Really now Looking forward to seeing your LMS fleet! Cheers Gary

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Gary! 👍🏻

[@mattyrallye]

My only comments would be you should add vacuum pipes to the front buffer beams along with a centre coupling hook for 75053. Saying that your weathering is top notch.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Matt. I noticed that too, I must have knocked it off! I’m sure I have some spares somewhere.

[@stretchedits]

Hi Lewis, an interesting look at your BR Standard Loco's there. I love the way you personalised them all, some lovely detail, and great weathering.................Looking forwards to seeing the LMS collection next. All the best, stay safe, Dave.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Dave, glad you liked it!

[@Guitar6ty]

Standard class 4s look just right on your layout. Maybe do a show on how you did the dry stone walls and what you use for crossovers. You have the model railway that is truly inspirational.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Paul. On the new layout I used foam walls - you can get them from Osbourne Models.

[@thetrainspotters502]

A great first part! Loved them all but my favourite was the Standard 4T, Standard 5 and Standard 7. What an awesome collection, think a 9f would suite this layout. Really enjoyed it! cheers, Joe

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Joe! I did have a Bachmann 9F, but was never that keen on it - slowed down on corners and the valve gear went a bit dodgy. I’ve got the new Hornby one on preorder though, can’t wait for that 😀

[@thetrainspotters502]

@@MouldyRaspberry Very good 😊

[@michaeltrufitt5477]

[@goathlandstation-oogauge-e.l.r]

A good video there Lewis. I love my standard 4’s. I have the tank and tender version too. Thought the etched name plates with your late grandfather was a nice touch. Looking forward to the next videos. Really intrigued about the carriage one.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Jon. I thought the coach one might be worth doing as I’ve tried so many different couplings and made so many modifications to them!

[@davecarter4015]

Your not helping with my “I’m not going to buy anymore Standards” 😂 Brilliant layout too!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Haha thanks 😅

[@CM-ARM]

You have some very beautiful steamers

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Chris. 👍🏻

[@conrailfan6277]

Looks like your Steam runs good Lewis, the problem with our models at slow speed is driver quartering, if it's off slightly it will bind and jerk!! Luckily Micro Mark and North West Short line makes quartering jigs and tools to remove drivers and fix them!!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 👍🏻 Ah, that’s very handy. It’s frustrating that’s not one of, if not THE top priority for manufacturers when it comes to getting the performance right!

[@alastairwilson457]

nice to see 73050... Nene Valley railway just down the road from me

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Alastair, hopefully it won’t be too long before it’s back in action again.

[@alantoms3263]

Don't know why, but my favourites are all of the 4MT's - 2-6-0, 4-6-0 and 2-6-4 included. Al.

Hi Lewis another great video on how you improve your locos etc all the best for Christmas and the new Year Kind Regards Martin

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Martin! You as well.

[@garyjust.johnson1436]

What could be better on Thanksgiving Day 2021 than dinner with family and a side of mouldy raspberry! Train videos that is, not an actual dish. We had mouldy cranberry sauce.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Gary, Happy Thanksgiving!

[@MrDavil43]

The weathering is beautifully done. A minor point, though, the lamps look very stark white in comparison. I paint mine a light grey, any route discs similarly, as pure white was very rare around the railways in steam days so my (failing) memory tells me! And once on the loco they still look white.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you - good suggestion, I’ll try that!

[@petergrossett6763]

I have a standard 5 and a standard 4 tank. More a GWR fan. Bought a Hornby N15 weathered great model. I can’t fault it. Great video thanks.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Cheers Peter - good choice 👍🏻

[@GalgormHall]

Hey Lewis, been a few weeks since I tuned in and was surprised to hear your voice. 😆 must catch up on the layout tour videos now. Nice coverage of your loco stock by the way. Paul

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Paul, appreciate it! 😀

[@hermitageroad4713]

always wanted to see your stock great

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Cheers, glad you liked it!

[@OlivierGabin]

I'm hesitating about buying a WD austerity. I'm really in for its look, but I'm reluctant because I have some doubts about the mechanism. Seems your own does the job neatly, I will reconsider my position, and find some money for a forthcoming purchase.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Olivier - yeah not a great mechanism like most Bachmann locos from those years. If you can get one cheap second hand though, probably worth it.

[@cedarcam]

The standards are my favourites the 4MT and 75XXX the most. I am waiting for the 2MT to complete the collection. I think Hornby are the best ones they have great detail and ones I have have run well. Your 75XXX looks to have a wobble on the rear wheel. I have noticed on some videos which probably makes it rock. I notice you do not fit the brake rigging It does not really show but I wonder if there is a reason for that. This will make a good series and it will be good to see how you get the sound recorded and the editing done.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Me too 👍🏻 I’ve never noticed the 4MT wobbling, only the 5MT! I sometimes fit it, but find it a bit annoying to remove when it comes to servicing the locos as it can block screws. I’ve got them all in a tub somewhere, I’ll get round to it one day!

[@davidsheriff8989]

Well presented as usual....I assume the track is level...like the close ups...

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks David. I think it is!

[@tico360]

I guess you barely ever have to dust off your models since the dust will make them look more weathered

[@MouldyRaspberry]

That’s true! I do give them a quick dust every now and then though.

[@lachd2261]

Nice! I wish I had a big enough layout for any of these, tight corners all over mine sadly. Love all the class 4's.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks! wonder if you could get away with the new 2MT?

[@lachd2261]

@@MouldyRaspberry Yeah I've been eyeing them off. Pricey though!

[@PaulSmith-pl7fo]

Enjoyed the tour, but what happened to the sound? I had it turned right up, but still struggled to hear your commentary.

[@SHGPMedia]

They do look great and your upgrades really add to them. Your audio levels in this were very varied. Your voice was very low compared to your steam sound effects which were very loud. I had to turn up the volume quite a lot to hear you and then got blasted when the adverts interrupted

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks. I just record these on my phone so doubt the audio will be very good 👍🏻

[@SHGPMedia]

@@MouldyRaspberry what do you use to do your editing as there should be volume sliders for each clip?

[@Cairol58]

Once again a great video and an all very interesting one regarding your locos. Did I understand correctly the layout is run totally in analog mode just like let’s say some 50 years ago and so no digital components involved? I have a couple of N gauge Graham Farish steam locos and stuff; wanting to build a small layout situated in the British country side but never got round to do it yet, sigh! 😔. Greeting from Germany.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you, appreciate it! 👍🏻 ah, easily done! Yes it’s all analogue.

[@wellingtonnorthjunction3911]

Do you record the sounds or use the ones on KZbin

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Record them 👍🏻

[@stephensmith799]

BR Standards and rebuilt Bulleids are my favourites… I just wish someone would manufacture RTR BR Standard Class 3MT 2-6-0s. They are like Starlings: almost beautiful but not really😉 Not to worry about locos that rock under load. The real ones do, because they ‘stand’ on their connecting rods with each ‘downward’ directed power stroke think

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Stephen - I completely agree. I think the 5MT is due a modern retool as well, but probably best to fill in the blanks first! That’s a very good point about the rocking!

[@minihaletrains9188]

did you not have a 9f at some stage?

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Yes I sold that on a year or so ago 👍🏻

[@minihaletrains9188]

@@MouldyRaspberry oh right? Gotta love a 9f surely

[@GWRFan281]

Great idea for a series of videos.... my only criticism is the sound. I had to turn my TV up to hear you only to get blasted out of the armchair when the adverts interrupted the video so I couldn't watch the whole thing.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks 👍🏻 Maybe I need to invest in a megaphone!
