New Build Part 1 - The week that was with Paul and Julian - A celebration of a great new friend.

[@graham33freeland59]

Great to see two modellers from different part's of the world become good friends and look forward to seeing the layout develop.

[@Sandlingjunction]

Thank you, Graham, watch this space as they say, cheers P

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid on the new build on the layout looks good keep up the good vid thanks lee

[@Sandlingjunction]

Very Kind Lee thanks, and I will, cheers P

[@JumbleLane]

What a brilliant colaboration between two great modellers. It really is a shame that there is so much distance between the two of you. The video was entertaining and extremely educational. I have thought many times of using the open frame method if I do a re-build. Really looking forward to the next episode. Great meeting the both of you at GETS. Regards, Geoff.

[@Sandlingjunction]

Hi Geoff likewise, and yes I would love to figure a way to continue the banter between us in future episodes, cheers P

[@alanwagstaff16]

Well that was interesting as I'm about to build a layout myself it's give me some ideas. Also I think you 2 guys worked great together. A new comedy double act maybe .😂

[@Sandlingjunction]

Hi Alan, I'd surely love to develop that idea with Julian, it would be fun if possible, cheers P

[@lancastergreyayre7954]

Didn't realise that Statler and Waldorf had entered the world of baseboard construction.

[@Sandlingjunction]

Well, just goes to show lol, cheers P

[@andydavidson9440]

Couldn’t have put it better myself! The grumpy comedy double act of all time!

[@Teesbrough]

Great video and congratulations to you both on your progress and achievements. Julian’s sense of humour is superb and I look forward to seeing more of it in his own Station Road videos. What I now want to know is whether you’ll be repaying the favour? How good are you at painting tailor-made backscenes?

[@Sandlingjunction]

Yes anything is possible for sure, cheers P

[@Pixie586]

Grand job guys. Lovely seeing you both and good wishes on your ongoing build.. Susannah

[@Sandlingjunction]

HI susannah, yes greta to finally meet, onwards and upwards as they say, cheers P

[@johnstephens649]

As an extra thought, thinking back to days in the Print Industry, you may find that the sort of card you are using is known by generic names like White Lined Chip (NOT as in chipboard before anyone says it) or Folding Box Board.

[@Sandlingjunction]

I must get its name and list it , but thank you for that info, cheers P

[@barryturner2916]

Great to see two modellers becoming great friends. It may have been an hour long but it flue by in what seamed a couple of minutes. Many thanks for sharing the start of the build of New Sandling Junction, watching your closing clips and coming from Dover I could easily relate to them can't wait for episode two, take care (hope Julian had a safe trip back home) regards Barry.. 👍

[@Sandlingjunction]

Hi Barry, yes Julian got back very tired but safe and sound. we just clicked and the layout grew as a result. cheers P

[@delphjunction1168]

🇺🇦 Hi Paul and Julian. Morecombe and Wise was one of my favourite comedy shows.😂 Fantastic bit of work, well thought out. Love the incline wish I could have something like that on my layout. We aim to be hospitable as possible in this country Julian, not only do you get a cuppa but a cold as well. Great vlog guys. Thank you. Stay safe. DELPH JUNCTION (Pete)

[@Sandlingjunction]

Hi Peter, well I hope we can figure to deliver more, cheers P

[@TimberSurf]

Great collaboration, bet you had a blast, the progress has been good, nice design with good transitions. Great meeting the both of you at GETS, Timber.

[@Sandlingjunction]

Cheers Timber, it was a great week lots done and heaps of fun, cheers P

[@Finnertoncentralmodelrailway]

Don't know about Smith and Jones but it was more like the two Ronnie's lol ,I got my picnic out no I didn't gate crash anyone else's and watched the pair of you creat a marvel in such a short amount of time well done to the both of you , Now Paul don't cock it up lol . Look forward to the next one . Brian

[@Sandlingjunction]

Thanks Brian, glad you enjoyed it chum, we had a blast, cheers P. PS I hope I do not lol.

[@ColwynJunction]

Great video, gave me lots of ideas for my new layout, looking forward to seeing how it develops.

[@Sandlingjunction]

Thank you and glad it has helped out, cheers P

[@ianjeffery4773]

Lovely video. It's obvious you two get along really well. Tow old blokes taking the piss for a week. Great stuff.

[@Sandlingjunction]

thank you Ian , and I could not have put it better, cheers P

[@arthurthorpe5445]

Two old men working in a shed absolutely brilliant reminds me of a few old comedy films (The Plank springs to mind) but seriously awesome and Paul you are going to end up with a very neat layout.

[@Sandlingjunction]

I agree with you totally and yes the layout will be stunning, a lovely journey to come, cheers P

[@mgzt1]

I’ve been looking forward to this video - oh my it was entertaining - you both make me laugh. Wonderful work from you both. Great sketch with Smith n Jones. 😂 Looking forward to the next video. Thank you Julian. Can you pop over and look at my new build? Cheerio. Rob 🚂👍

[@Sandlingjunction]

Thank you Rob, I am sure Julian will take a look. Not sure how good my own opinion might be, lol. Cheers P

[@HighburyModelRailway]

Great video and entertaining, cheered me up after a long night at work

[@Sandlingjunction]

That's just the ticket, cheers P

[@edwardbarnes2702]

The New ‘Chuckle’ brothers LOL! 😄😂

[@Sandlingjunction]

glad you liked it Ed, cheers P

[@andydavidson9440]

You two are the comedy double act of railway modelling and you must find a way to minimise the distance and maximise the camaraderie and fun going forwards. Virtual vids or something? Perhaps Paul could help Julian with the parts of his layout that look tooooo precise! Good to meet you both at GETS and I couple see the fun you were having already. Thanks Andy😂

[@Sandlingjunction]

Thank you Andy and I share your sentiment totally and hope that we can find a way to push this more in our collaborations, cheers P

[@colinmeredith7114]

Three of my favourites...you two and especially the GSD ;-) A few years ago we had a litter of ten of those beautiful animals; 5 x of each. What an 8hr day that was!

[@Sandlingjunction]

Hi Colin yup Lobo stole the show again as he does on my painting channels. cheers P

[@glenatkin4972]

That’s who l was watching when I watched them at gets😂 cheers Glen

[@Sandlingjunction]

OOOOH yeah!, cheers P

[@peterbradford5987]

Great video. Loved it.

[@Sandlingjunction]

Thank you Peter, cheers P

[@iansngauge]

Hi Paul! What an entertaining video! Was it really nearly an hour long? Great to see the collaboration between you guys start to take shape! I'm looking forward to how you get on flying solo on the next level! :) All the best, Ian.

[@Sandlingjunction]

Hi Ian , that makes two o us lol, cheers P

[@leewall8230]

Cracking video! Loved the banter between you both. You prove that spending the time and effort planning not only the track layout but baseboards & inclines can really pay off. Impressive wood work, attention to detail is second to none 👍.

[@Sandlingjunction]

Thanks, Lee, it is a project hat has great potential and foundations, cheers P

[@2CraftySeniors]

That was fun. You two sound like you've been friends "forever". Two old guys having fun in the "man cave". LOL Also... loved the dog getting pets and spreading love (and hair) around the work room. All-in-all, it was a good hour spent.

[@Sandlingjunction]

Much appreciate your comment thank you, cheers P

[@MichaelHenfrey]

Nice to see New Sandling starting to come together. Such a fantastic help Julian has been with your build. Nice to see a train run on it briefly too. Cheers, Michael

[@Sandlingjunction]

Thank you Michael and yes he surely was, more trains to come very soon, cheers P

[@mikewillis9708]

This is brilliant - Waldorf & Statler don't have a patch on you guys. Thank you for providing such great entertainment! When is Julian coming back? 🍿😄

[@Sandlingjunction]

Not soon enough Mik to keep me out of trouble, cheers P

[@roystudds1944]

A great video of the marvellous progress you made between you,in such a short space of time. Well done. It was good to see you, albeit briefly at GETS on Sunday. Thanks for sharing. Roy.

[@Sandlingjunction]

Many many thanks Roy and likewise, hope to catch you again one day, cheers P

[@bionicgeekgrrl]

Great progress. You make a good comedy duo 🤣 look forward to the next update. Did you resolve your coach problem you had a while back to do with the little spring?

[@Sandlingjunction]

Thank you, as for the coach no not yet, still springless, and a 3 car cep instead of a 4 car lol, cheers P

[@edfannon1119]

KZbin has a new "Waldorf and Statler" great work and a very entertaining video .

[@Sandlingjunction]

Lol thank you Ed very kind, cheers P

[@johnstephens649]

Great progress and seems like you had a lot of fun through the hard work! So often we build our layouts on our own so must have been fun working together. Proves the old saying of the five “P’s.” Planning and preparation prevents pathetic performance! Look forward to the next progress…

[@Sandlingjunction]

Thanks John and yes it was a heap of fun, working in this way, cheers P

[@thelibrarian46]

An excellent collaboration. This just shows how well people can work together in a team, to create a workable structure and bounce ideas off each other, as well as receive constructive feedback. It was also nice to see someone offering a paw. I look forward to the evolution of the new layout.

[@Sandlingjunction]

Yes it came together so well, and will I hope continue in the same way, cheers P

[@Zebrails]

Charlie can be proud of y'all. Wonderful video. Animals are a "Plus" and supplement the ratings. The friendship between the both of you is the catalyst of a joyful recording. Cheers! John BC, Canada

[@supercharger1958]

hornby track rails are all made from styrene way suoperior to peco flex trach whiich is made from carrier bag/milkbottle ethyline and flexes and twists when you put it where as hornby track is rigid and doesnt twist or flex . peco points are graet there styrene ...all my track is hornby semi flexi (rigid styrene) and is just great for running

[@marknicholson2281]

I’m on catch up so a bit late to this. Great video and great to see the banter. I did find the metric yard ruler funny (I’m odd like that. Right on to the next one.

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Pure magic Paul......best wishes Tony.

[@Sandlingjunction]

Jolly kind Tony, mny thanks, cheers P

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Your welcome.

[@vincenthuying98]

Dear Paul and Julian, great to see your combined effort come together in an excellent example of plywood central layout design. Awesome to see the grades develop into a smooth playing field for Paul’s trains. Curious for your next episodes Paul! Cheerio

[@andrewstevenson5449]

Great video chaps. Good progress too.

[@piccadillymodelrailways]

Absolutely brilliant, its just a shame you both couldnt continue as a duo. You work so well together, along with all the banter its been a joy to watch. Great job on the build and so nice to see the trains running too. Bonus! Please dont change your mind Paul, lol.

[@Sandlingjunction]

ALl good John , no worries it will move ahead as hoped, cheers P
