SIX STEAM SPECTACULAR: With Banking, Clanking and Synchronised Sound!

[@normanyates6735]

By far and away the very best model railway video ever, so realistic and matching sound,

[@NEVILLEGROVE]

Thanks Norman for such a nice comment! 🙌 Glad you enjoyed it!

[@fiachra4266]

Rarely do I watch a layout video all the way through but this was a joy to watch. The eye level views shifting from side to side, the sweeping aerial views, the authentic weathering, (that 2-8-0) , the background and foreground soundtracks and the rare as hens's teeth scale speeds of the trains themselves... Absolutely love it.

[@stevbrkr]

This is the best model railway action with sound ever, without a doubt.

[@NEVILLEGROVE]

Wow thanks Steven! I’ve always loved the sound of the railway as much as the sights. Thanks for watching and merry Christmas 🎄

[@pierre214]

Magnifique matériel roulant à des vitesses très réalistes. La sonorisation synchrone des locomotives est remarquable . Bravo , bravissimo!

[@NEVILLEGROVE]

Merci Beaucoup Pierre!

American here. Steam and aircraft enthusiast. Grew up around Union Pacific. Cousin was a fireman on UP's 844 back in the 80's Very realistic work. Took me a few seconds to realize this was not 1:1 scale.😄

[@NEVILLEGROVE]

Great to hear and glad you enjoyed - welcome aboard. I’d love to see & hear 844 working hard one day - or the Challenger if it ever runs again - definitely on my bucket list!

[@davemiller6893]

....I can almost smell the smoke and steam. The skylark singing in the back ground just captured those long lost summer days. Absolutely amazing modelling and production.

[@NEVILLEGROVE]

Thanks dude, this was good fun to produce but not without its challenges 😅 A window into the past - that’s exactly how I feel about Peter Handford recordings. He captured workings in audio such as this that can never be properly recreated, despite having a truly wonderful preservation movement hear in the UK. I’m looking forward to seeing more on your new channel - keep up the great work! 👍

[@robindeer-park5755]

Just How I Remember Those 8fs Outstanding Realism

[@NEVILLEGROVE]

@@NEVILLEGROVE there’s certainly other layouts out there that I enjoy watching, but nothing comes close to your weathering, sound sync and smooth running ! Love the glossy finish on the Loco paintwork, how do you achieve it ? Cheers

[@NEVILLEGROVE]

@@TheGarageRailway thanks again! Super kind words. To get the polished effect I usually use a gloss varnish in conjunction with some light weathering. I have also used TCut which can also yield nice results and you don’t need an airbrush to use.

[@Weesel71]

Good show. The sound is superb.

[@NEVILLEGROVE]

Thank you! In case you missed the caption the Jubilee working hard was taken from video footage made a couple of weeks ago of Leander, (link in caption) but all other sounds are archive recordings made by the late, great Peter Handford back in the 1950 & 60’s. They are brilliant 👌

Who exactly would dislike this video..?? KZbin should make people give reasons... Anyway this is one of the most realistic layouts I've seen... 👍

[@NEVILLEGROVE]

Thank you Andy very kind! I don’t know I’ve never “disliked” anything on KZbin either, but it might be because it unexpectedly came up on “watch next” and was watched by someone that has no interest in trains at all. I think if you dislike something, the KZbin algorithm tries to make sure you don’t get similar videos suggested again - a bit like on Netflix 🤔

Fantastic video, but both 8f locos seem to have the same number 48045!! 🤔 Love the loco weathering and scenery. Perfect.

Thank you very much! You’re eyes are not deceiving you - the banking 8F with the Stanier tender is mine and I renumbered it from LMS 8042 a while back, whereas the train engine was only visiting my weathering studio from my customer @blufferstobuffers Considering I had hundreds of 8F's to renumber mine to, it was just an extraordinary coincidence. For what it’s worth, 48045 did run with both types of tender in the late crest period.

Dziękuję! Nie ma lepszego dźwięku niż ciężko pracująca lokomotywa parowa.

[@briancooper562]

Very, very good. Have always thought con rod clank should feature on sound equipped locos. Make rail clack a feature generated at or by the trackworks. As a ,trackside' 'spectator' all wheels of a train crossing a joint should audible, so the sound or a generated 'sound bite' should be the result detecting the wheels (or axle) as they pass a 'joint'. The other way is to build track above a sound box which amplifies the track sounds. (a feature of Millers Dale O gauge Layout). The feature which is impractical to generate is the clash of buffers when a freight stops (unless the brake van is perfectly matched) or reverses. Possibly needs an audio track from a real train matched to train control. Drop in voltage triggers sound track.

[@NEVILLEGROVE]

A lot to consider there for the manufacturers but your right, the railway is (was) so rich with various sounds. The potential for DCC to develop further seems limitless.

Hi Ron thanks for watching again! Haha yes I wondered how many would notice that. By pure coincidence I renumbered mine to 48045 (could have chosen any other BR 8F), and then a few months later my customer sent his in for weathering with exactly the same number. What are the chances? 1 in 624? You couldn’t make it up, but it did run with both tender styles in the late crest era - not that you can see it on either model…
