Good morning Colin! Ah, the joys of multiple monitors! You're going to have a fantastic control system to go with your fantastic layout! Talking of fantastic, wow, the trestle bridge is in! You must be so pleased! Cheers, Ian.

Hi Ian yes so pleased it's in. Now to get the rest of the wood on. No to get the big tv screen in. Colin

Extreme high tech going in there Colin! Epic work on the trestle bridge and all the scenics behind it. Don't envy you the work in in hand rails section! As you rightly say it's going to look spectacular when the loco's run around! Regards Steve

@@lynganddistrict Hi Steve hope your well. I made a little jig to help stick the post on and when there on I cut them with the same jig to the height. I do hope it's all worth it and it does look good. Colin

Hey, Colin! What a brilliant video system you have installed. I guess an epic layout needs an epic video and control system! Very nice work on the trestle bridge... truly great!

@@ModelTrainOutsider Hi Anthony, Hope your daughter had a great birthday, all these thoughts in my head up to now are working, can I keep it up, that's a big can I. My goal is to live long enough to finish it, and the other is it to go into one of the model railway magazines.

Hello Colin! I hope you're well Wow the video system and the control is amazing. Great to see the bridge in place with the rocks now coloured. Absolutely amazing work 👏

@@ModelRailwayShed Very well thank you, tierd at the moment doing a big job for a customer. And trying to do stuff on the layout. Thank you for your kind comment I'm so glad the bridge is in for good. Colin

Great work Collin, amazing what a "wash" brings to the picture.

Hi Andy sorry that I've missed about 3 weeks of your Sunday live. I think KZbin was doing funny stuff and not telling me you we on. This week it did but my sister is in hospital and I'm running round after her. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to watch the video and commenting. Colin

Greetings Woodthorp International and hello Colin 👋 The rock face 🗿 looks fantastic behind the trestle bridge 🤩 well, you've always been the King of Rock 😉 Meticulous planning on the ITrain front 👀 especially when it comes to monitor's and camera's 😇 they could also come in handy for watching the football ⚽️ 🤭 It might be worth looking at British Finescale for code 40 flexible track for the check rails 🤔 as Peco Code 55 rails are the same depth as code 80, just buried in the sleepers 🔍 Best wishes from the Emerald Isle ☘️

@@Wickford_N_Gauge Hi Paul and hello from Woodthorp International. Sorry were about 3 weeks behind watching your fantastic running, I've got a big job on. And my sister isn't very well at the moment and is in hospital. I have been told that code 55 is a little small and even if it's the same size it shouldn't matter. Slowly the plans at coming together. Colin

Just got a small Lodi system myself for testing, I think your not far from aswell

[@collinsngauge5493]

@@Llamberg.Railway Hi the first part of the layout is going to be America there are about 104 blocks. Japan will have less blocks but I hate to think how many England and Europe will have and so far I have 3 units to do 24 blocks. I think I will be buying them into the next decade 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@collinsngauge5493 I’ve been a long term Digitrax user but have found issues with loconet due to the fact my layout was rather large 240 points and 860 detection sections. I’m doing a major rebuild now so felt time to address the issues, I’ve been using train controller but am transitioning to ITrain because Lodi has full support for it were Tc does not.
