Pick Up Goods on the Yorkshire Dales Model Railway

[@prsearls]

That is some of the best model scenery I've seen. Lots of trees, shrubs and weeds. A good variation in textures and realistic colors show a dedication to good observation and modeling. The dubbed-in sound added a lot to the video, too. While I model American railroading, this is a very good model of English practices, judging from the many British steam era videos I've watched. I envy the British for their mainline steam tourist operations, something that has become rare in America.

Thank you, that’s very kind of you! 😀

[@dougalexander5871]

I love how you take real railway sounds and synchronize them to your videos. If only DCC decoders could make chuffs like that!

This is one of the most convincing model railways I have ever seen - and I've seen a lot over 50 yrs of interest in model railways. It is like a 3D painting of the dales. Exquisite. You sir are an artist, but you probably know that already don't you?

Thanks Lewis, always enjoy these running sessions must take ages to film and add sound, brilliant bit of thoughtful shunting.

Nice video. A cabotage train, the staple of railway traffic before the 1970's, great historical reminder ! And a 0-6-0, a staple of british railways nearly from the beginning to the end of steam. Great idea to put both of them in the same episode. Especially the 4F, a nice little boxy kettle, one of my favorite 0-6-0.

Hi Lewis, another nice video, of a long forgotten railway activity. Did I see the headcode change half way through, I wouldn't know right or wrong. I remember once thinking how cool it would be to have poseable loco lights, but then never went ahead to try it. Anyway great video, thanks and all the best Dave.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Dave. Yes that was unintentional! I think the new Hornby Black Five coming out this year has lamps the light up, I’m not sure how that will work though and whether you can move them around.

[@akrills]

I never tire watching your videos, Lewis, especially the 'out of the ordinary' scenarios involving parts of the track we don't normally see (the goods yards, for example). I'd love to see an end of day (when it's darker than normal) video and the 'smoke' idea mentioned by Steve J below would also be worth a visit methinks. I also can't wait for the new extension you've been toying with recently! Great stuff, Eric.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you, glad you like them! I’d like to fit some lighting in the coaches, so that would be a good opportunity to film an evening/nighttime video!

[@akrills]

@@MouldyRaspberry That would be a very good start!

fabulous to see some action on the y.dales again. just one question, in beginning you have departed the goods consist from the new addition, mistlewaite onto the current buckdale/pondon line. wasnt sure if the new extension was separate or part of it. anyways, very delightful to have a video again of this great model branchline again😃

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Jacques! It’s separate, so I just transfer the train from one layout to the other 👍🏻

[@stevejohnston2138]

Brilliant as always... What is your views on the locos that produce "smoke etc ", would you incorpirate any of these on your layout; or do you consider them a bit of a gimmick..?

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Steve. I never thought too much of them, until Richard from New Junction showed me a GW Grange fitted with one at the Hornby show in Milton Keynes a few months ago. Then I was sold 🤣 It was very impressive with the chuffs synced up to the exhaust beat.

¡Hola buenas tardes Lewis! I never get tired of watching your videos. To be honest, this has to be the best, technically, you've shown to date. The sound dubbing was extremely accurate and, as always the camera angles are wonderful. I'm sure, as we all do, you get great pleasure from simply 'playing trains' however, you have the upper hand when it comes to recording your sessions on the layout - keep up the great work. As always, stay safe and well. Un saludo. Gary. PS: Please get the permanent way gang to sort out those dodgy telegraph poles (timeline 1:58)

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Gary, always appreciate it. Every time they fix them, a giant elbow comes down from the sky and knocks them wonky again!!! It must be a very frustrating job.

[@peterpocock9062]

Another very convincing production Lewis, well done. And, don't the Kadees make shunting a pleasure? Providing you follow their (Kadee) installation instructions carefully. Don't ask me how I know that is important!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Haha thanks Peter. Yep I love the Kadees, I’m so pleased I switched to them.

[@arndbaggen3011]

As I once wrote , my model railway is all about goods and shunting. So that was a special one for me . But I have one question as a continental railway fan . Why are the British goods wagons are so small in seize in relation to the ones used in mainland Europe . Looking forward to the next one . Maybe a future point . Yorkshire was coal country as the Ruhrgebiet in Germany , where I have placed my model railway . One big part of it is a complete coalmine with big loading area for trains . Would like to see how you would build one on a maybe expansion. Have a good time . Greetings from Germany

[@MouldyRaspberry]

That’s a good question, I’m not really sure to be honest. That’s a great idea for a future project and would be very fitting for Yorkshire!

[@Trainlover1995]

As an American, I immediately noticed you put knuckle couplers on all of your trains. I assume these are Bachmann E-Z Mates, since there’s a variant compatible with NEM coupler sockets.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

They are Kadees, which I think might also be an American company right? The standard couplings on British trains are so ugly and annoying, I’m glad I switched over to knuckle couplers

[@44662dc]

The filming was stunning Lewis. I think the Derby 4 is the epitome of a branch pick up train. Is that a Bachmann loco I prefer their version to Hornby's as it doesn't have tender drive and those terrible traction tyres

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Denis, I agree! Yes mine is the Bachmann version, it’s a good ‘un.

@@MouldyRaspberry Some whistles sound wrong for the loco eg LNER B1s which make the loco sound ‘nervous’! A BR Standard whistle on a Derby 4 would definitely be an improvement!

[@ibnrawandi2713]

sorry to appear ignorant on KZbin but is this amazing videoa real thing (of a model railway) or an edited video?

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Yes it’s a model railway I built in my house. But I edit real sounds over the top!

[@TallboyDave]

I'm curious; have you considered the means by which 'in-universe' locomotives are able to change direction once they get to Misslethwaite?

[@MouldyRaspberry]

I’m not 100% sure what you mean, but at Misselthwaite you view the train from the other side - so a train leaving travels left to right. On the main layout the viewer is on the other side of the tracks, so the train leaving Misselthwaite and coming out the tunnel travels right to left. That doesn’t mean it’s changed direction, you’ve just cross the line and are viewing it from the other side!

[@TallboyDave]

@@MouldyRaspberry Not quite what I meant; a while back, you had a vid where a passenger train came into Misselthwaite, hauled by.... I think it was something like a Patriot, or maybe a Coronation; it ran around the train and back through the tunnel, before coming back, having been turned around in the interim on either a triangle or a turntable.
