Quite simply..... WOW!!!!! It don't get much better than this. Fantastic work.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you!

[@cedarcam]

Great views and sounds again. The 9f my favourite, brought back memories of long trains of bolster wagons.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[@garryturland7254]

This is modelling artistry at its finest. Just brilliant, I admire the brilliant craftsmanship and eye for the finest details 😊👍

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Garry 👍🏻

[@stevenkarnisky411]

Big steam doing hard work. The same the world over, Lewis. Thanks for another look at the Yorkshire Dales. I am glad it is you cantilevering yourself above the hills for the long shot of Missellthwaite, and not me!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Ha thanks Steven, glad you enjoyed it!

[@oesypum]

I am truly amazed at the lengths you have gone to improve the details on this layout. Thank you for uploading.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks 😀

[@graham5710]

I love your sets the sound the dirt the weathering it looks so real

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@ModelTrainOutsider]

Brilliant video and mix of the freight rolling stock and passengers! Well done as always, Lewis. This looks so amazing on the big TV here.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Anthony 😀

[@tonyslight826]

Hi Lewis. I must say Lewis the atmosphere you create and put into your videos are second to none along with your camera shots is just the sound affects of slamming doors and the hustle and bustle of passenger voices etc, etc, all add to my / our enjoyment of your layout, well done Lewis and thank you.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you Tony, appreciate it!

@@MouldyRaspberry A very nice video indeed Right down to the gradient boards outstanding

[@Bruno.Trains]

Very accurate and unique you did a fantastic job making the layout.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you very much!

[@akrills]

The over-the-hill shot of 92 Squadron as it enters Misselthwaite (@ 6'51") is stunning. How lovely to see our very own 'local' engine steaming into the station, Lewis, although it's a fair way from the NVR to the Yorkshire Dales! Also, to pick up on a previous post about weathering, the front end of the 9F looks superb and is beautifully re-created. Thanks again, my friend, on sharing your layout with us.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks very much - glad you liked it. I’d like to get a very of 34081 in Malachite Green at some point.

[@tomward3656]

Brilliant video as usual. Atmosphere, scenery, locomotives, rolling stock. Perfect. Thanks Lewis.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Tom 👍🏻

[@pressstart1490]

I haven't watched your videos in a while. It's always great to come back and enjoy some great model railways once in a while. Great job mate

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks👍🏻

[@OlivierGabin]

Superb ! Nice appetizer with your Mogul, then a great lady, the 9F, a real beauty. And a BoB Class at the end, nice surprise ! As always, a superb show, thanks !

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Olivier!

[@FLRailroaddog]

Hello, the scenery on your layout always amazes me, so darn realistic. That view from the mountain top looks super nice, looks so real. 😊

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 😀

[@Yet1moreUtuber]

There is just something I love about a steam era layout.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

[@stretchedits]

Hi Lewis, I had the headphones on tonight, wow they really brought out the best in the sound clips you used in the video, thoroughly enjoyed your video. Thank you so much, all the best Dave.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Dave!

[@jamestailyour7348]

Having read the comment about streaming KZbin to his television I decided to do the same and after a great deal of difficulty I finally managed to upload KZbin onto my (not nearly so large) television. Oh my God! It’s absolutely stunning in large format and the quality of sound is extraordinarily good. The beauty of your photography is so much more exciting. Needless to say I very much enjoyed your video.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks very much James, glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Cameron!

[@ricktownend9144]

Such beautiful weathering on your rolling stock ... and the scenery (grass, trees etc.). Some of the vignettes are tremendously atmospheric; have you though of putting out a range of YDMR jigsaw puzzles?

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 👍🏻 ha good idea!

Excellent recording ! WIsh I had some similar sounds for my layout too.....

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@1977ajax]

Lovely stuff there! A couple of your sheep looks as though they've had a few, but otherwise quite fantastic. Sound track an excellent addition and well worth the effort, IMO.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you!

[@phil36310]

Beautiful Lewis ! I ran out of superlatives to express the joy of watching your video's in wonderful settings. I love the 'Battle of Britain' Class. Superb weathering. It's just perfection ! Thanks for sharing your labor of love for this fine hobby ! Greetings, Filip ps. I have a photo on the Hornby 'Top Shot of the year 2022' contest. "The night shift" If you like it please give a like vote on the social media. Thanks !

Thank you Filip - if you can still vote, I’ll give it a like! Best of luck with it.

Wonderful!

Thanks Gary 👍🏻

[@petergrossett6763]

Great choice of loco’s. I think post war was a golden age. Ivatt 4mt was a worthy forerunner to many Standard designs. 9f’s, their beauty when new or clean was breathtaking.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Peter - agreed!

[@alastairwilson457]

Love it Lewis, especially camera angle at 6:50

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Alastair 👍🏻

[@arunajay9250]

A real train experience

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@stephensmith799]

Despite being a single track railway, the YDR always ran a surprisingly intensive service. This was due to the retention of nearly all its passing loops, very snappy operation by its signallers and the ability of crew to catch tablet hoops at forty miles an hour. This skill was taught to footplate crew by drivers and firemen based at Machynlleth on the former Cambrian system. Some could exchange tablets at even higher speeds risking getting swiped over the back of the head as the hoop swung round, obeying Newton’s ‘Three Laws of Motion’ only too closely! The timetable could fall apart on high days and holidays with visiting crew from beyond the YDR. They couldn’t manage to exchange tablets at 40mph and were given the nickname ‘Lancashire Fielders’, a reference to Yorkshire’s fierce cricketing rivals. YDR signallers had a curious habit of applauding every visiting crew who dropped the tablet. This didn’t go down well with ‘foreign’ crew.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Ha thanks Stephen - I’d love to watch those tablet exchanges, especially the ones that went a bit wrong! 🤣

[@stephensmith799]

@@MouldyRaspberry Brakes hard on. Expletives on the footplate. Reverser wound right back and Regulator as wide as adhesion would go. Fireman set to grope in the undergrowth up and down an embankment if he was unlucky. Signalman either laughing his head off or shouting at the Fireman as much as the Driver. No in between! A Please Explain form to fill in at the end of the trip and jeers from everybody… except those who had dropped a tablet themselves. Traffic delays….

[@stevenperry7493]

Another brilliant video ,,the only thing missing is the loco exhaust ..looking forward to looking at your back catalogue

Beautiful mate I watch your stuff on Instagram as well, would be cool if we could have the same train go from one layout to the next unless you've already done that but I didn't watch the video.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks! I have, but the next video I’ve filmed will involve the same trains running from one layout to the next.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@canuckprogressive.3435]

Have you ever considered adding a reverse loop to your storage yard? I mean on your new layout.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Yes, but decided against it as the siding would be too short for the trains I like to run and it's a bit tricky to access.

[@canuckprogressive.3435]

@@MouldyRaspberry I have yet to start my model railroad adventures but I do see that is largely about making compromises. Money and space drive those compromises.

@@MouldyRaspberry I've always enjoyed how different your videos are! Look forward to seeing what you do over time! It'll be a time to enjoy it for sure. One day hoping to do something similar myself in my loft after my Kingscross layout is further along, always loved the country scene a lot!

[@theretrocrowe]

I've recently discovered your channel and I am absolutely blown away by how beautiful this layout is, you've inspired me to try to make a "proper" layout instead of just a loop of track. I'm thinking of making something inspired by the Heart of Wales Line, so I'm wondering, what have you used to make the track look really overgrown at 6:21, and can Locomotives actually run over it without the foliage getting stuck to the wheels?

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 😀 yes as long as it’s glued down and the locos don’t catch on it 👍🏻

[@richardfischervc]

Really great lay, wonderful videography, and fantastic sounds ! Where can I get these super realistic sounds, would you care to share? Thanks in advance

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you! They are things I’ve recorded at my local heritage railway 👍🏻

[@treforestestaterailway7634]

Hi, i just want to ask What dcc sound do you use on your locos, and the sound on the rolling stock?

[@MouldyRaspberry]

My layout is DC, I just edit real sounds over the videos.

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

How do you get the shots on top of the footbridge? I have one on my railway, and I'd like to try it myself. Any tips on how I can get top-of-the-footbridge shots? I'd be glad of a tutorial on it.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

I just hold my phone above it Kelly, it’s hard to keep it steady though!

[@canuckprogressive.3435]

This video has the same jerky motion I got when making a video of real trains. It looked fine on my camcorder, but when it got to KZbin, since deleted, it was all jerky.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Hmm I wonder what that could be

10 to 15 minutes of excellent content that’s well filmed and edited is spot on. This guy’s videos are the very best on KZbin. The way he synchronises the sound with the film still amazes me.

[@KJames2345]

@@peterrobinson903 Oh so those sounds are fake? I thought it was dcc, so dcc isn't that good when it comes to sounds, so the only thing dcc is good for is being over priced because a train has a de-coder inside.

[@peterrobinson903]

@@KJames2345 I wouldn't call them fake Kevin because they are actual recordings of trains so I was told . Yes if dcc was that good that it could replicate train wheels going over rail joints it maybe worth the money.
