It's the little details that make a railway come to life

[@KandWRailroader]

I agree!

[@stephendavies6949]

Well, well. The YT algorithm suggested your channel. Glad it did. I've subscribed!

[@railway187]

Great little details 🤩👍🙋‍♂️

[@scottrixon5312]

Really enjoyed that, it's the small jobs that you put off that sometimes make the biggest difference..

[@Finnertoncentralmodelrailway]

Just stumbled across your channel what a cracking layout . Brian

[@liondecka9062]

Details, I love details. I‘m obsessed in details. Subscription is out 🎉

[@robot7759]

Enough details make a grand project as well.

[@Shauniboy1984]

Brill little video sir - still one of my fav channels on youtube 👌😎

[@C-MAGs]

Great update. Love these kind of updates. :)

[@westhavengwr4613]

Nice video. I’m working on detailing bits on Westhaven now. Will appear on the layout in due course.

[@dannyvanstraelen3273]

sometimes the devil sits in the details they say. About two years ago I bought a 3D printer, and it was worth every Penney, although today I would rather go for a resin type of printer instead of working with PLA filament, the difference sits in better detailing on small scale.. But it's still up to the task, like at the moment I'm building a layout and decided that beehives would look great, so I printed a few. Very fine detailing makes your layout more interesting to look at, even with dead moments when nothing is running, it still gives the viewer entertainment in discovering. I'd like to build in recognizable stories that are recognizable to a lot of people. This could be fictional stories like senes from dad's army for instance, or historical facts, a paper boy announcing the sinking of the Titanic. It all ads up to an interesting layout that's fun to look at……

Really really do like the great western pug loco gwt green suits it 😀😀😀❤

[@NathanielKempson]

Still got the speed bump in the station trackwork then XD We all have at least one eh

[@rocknroll527]

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

Concerning small details - bottled milk was introduced after the 1st world war, so if it is a 1930s layout, there should be milk crates and not milk churns on the platform! Thanks for uploading.

[@thecheez3418]

Not exactly right. I grew up on a dairy farm, milk churns were still in use well into the 1960s until the local milk board stopped collecting them and tankers were used instead. Milk was then dispensed into bottles locally and delivered to properties.

[@AllensTrains]

@@thecheez3418According to someone who worked on the railways, refrigerated bottled milk came in after the First World War. but churns might have continued to be used in some areas. It strikes me there would be no refrigeration on a station platform! You could research this. There might be photographic evidence.

Assuming that you measured and marked the lamp positions first, if not that was some accurate drilling skills 👍

[@FrontingtonandBackwoodsRailway]

I had marked out the positions first, yes! Don't want to go drilling into things without a plan... A rough plan at least.

[@_RandomPea]

I have no option as I can't actually get a drill into the space where I'm at 😂 what distance apart did you land on? 🤔

[@FrontingtonandBackwoodsRailway]

15cm apart. But to be honest that wasn't based on anything. The important thing is consistency. If it looks deliberate, no one will question it!

[@_RandomPea]

@@FrontingtonandBackwoodsRailway that's exactly the distance I had decided on. Only as my craft ruler is that long. 😂 I think in the real world they are like a carriage length apart but that would look silly in scale imo
