September 2018 Layout Update

[@NewJunction]

Congratulations both! Won't be long before Ezra is climbing up the ladder to come and see your hard work!

[@GowertonParkway]

There will be a lock on the loft hatch before he can start climbing !

[@stephenriley9084]

I was reminded of the ICI hopper trains that used to rumble past our house in Stockport when I saw the wagons in this video. Thanks for a 50 year flash back! Regards Stephen.

[@GowertonParkway]

Glad I could evoke some memories Stephen :-)

[@kevinjones5800]

Congratulations on the safe arrival of the baby, and the layout is looking fantastic, great detailing there, I’ll be at the Swansea show so will be calling to see Talbot Lane and pick your brains a little on the Z21 system, cheers

[@GowertonParkway]

Thank you :-)

[@GalgormHall]

Congratulations on the birth of little Ezra, he’s going to love that layout when he’s old enough to get up there for a look. If he’s anything like my boys it won’t be enough to see the trains run by, he will be wanting to drive those trucks all round the roads! You may not have had a lot of time but you’ve packed plenty in and things are looking superb. The dirtying down of the TMD is looking really well and blends in well with the older parts of the layout. Keep up the great work. Paul

[@GowertonParkway]

Thanks Paul. I do look forward to when he can come up into the loft :-D .

[@jamfieldcentral372]

[@DeanPark]

Hi, I actually have no excuse as to why I have missed this channel. Thanks for the link. I love the opening sequence as that 37 sounds marvellous. Few sound decoders sound as good as a 37. The TMD theme is right up my street. You've lots of little detail too...signage, traffic cones, pallets. Good hard standing too. Will I now be watching this channel....100% definitely. Congrats on becoming a dad.....be warned, it will slow your layout progress lol. But it is so rewarding. Cheers. Dave

[@GowertonParkway]

Cheers Dave ! Pleantly of people miss the channel . Thanks for the comments ! The layout is scenically on the verge of a complete overhaul as I have found that my skills are improving drastically meaning I really need to update this layout . Interestingly one of the things that will be going is the hard standing 😂

[@nigelcarter9503]

Congratulations on your new arrival. The TMD area looks good.

[@GowertonParkway]

Congratulations on your baby boy, layouts coming along nicely with the track plan you have, i havent started on mine due to working to much and not being able to use my days off for the layout so just sat watching everyone else layout progress and just waiting to get my teeth into mine. Look forward to seeing the naxt layout update cheers Beeton Hough Junction (Dave C)

[@GowertonParkway]

[@TheDaf95xf]

Congratulations on your new addition 👍🏻 Looking good ........ 😊 Better leaving the sand drag as a head shunt but wouldn’t it be better making it for two locos? Well done Stevie 👍🏻

[@GowertonParkway]

I have decided to go for one as I want to run the embankment up to end of it. If I take it any further, I won't be able too unfortunately.

[@jerryallen34]

Very nice and one that is inspirational for myself and my layout. Look forward to see how you do a consist on the Z21. My young son loves trains as I'm sure yours will, next Spring!!! Cheers Jerry

[@GowertonParkway]

Hi Paul, they are just wire bent to the right shape. I drill a couple of small holes and push the wires into it.

[@ewanperridge3387]

Congratulations on your boy that class 20 looks really good how much did it cost to get the lights fitted

[@GowertonParkway]

It was about £45

[@Derbys65]

[@GowertonParkway]

If you search stickswipe on eBay under sellers, that will take you there

[@NGaugeVideo]

Congratulations on your new edition👍 hope you and family are well. Quick question: on your Nuke depot, where you have the head shunt you have a yellow crash barrier. Where did you get this from? I need some for my new layout.👍 All the best and I hope mum and baby are doing ok👍👍
