[@TrainTsarFun]

I liked the TARDIS sighting there. Very nice layout! I love seeing multiple trains running - especially passenger trains

[@howarth004]

+Train Tsar Fun That Tardis is the old Police Box ..LOL ...glad you enjoyed the video ...Cheers Dave

[@peterhiatt]

How people give this a thumbs down is beyond me, the time this guy has taken to produce such a marvel in miniature model railway is amazing. Brilliant, thank you.

[@howarth004]

HI Peter , well some seem to get enjoyment out of it , I just dont bother , could be jealousy and just Morons , but glad you enjoyed , been a few changes since this video , but all still running good ...cheers dave

[@CPSLondon]

As a young boy I could only dream of having such a great layout. As an adult in living in an apartment, I still dream of such a layout. It looks great and must be a real labour of love. Thanks for posting the video.

[@howarth004]

Thank you very much for your kind comment , as you say a labour of Love ...I started this 7 years ago , and like you could remember model railways as a boy , so when I retired decided to build a layout in my loft , kind of got carried away , but it helps pass the long winters we have , I can escape to my loft and use my imagination on how things used to be on the railways ....I am including a lead to the layout which is more or less as it is now ..>>>> kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKCuqatqg7trZrs ...Cheers Dave

[@IndianaRails]

Hi Dave! Your progress is amazing; the detail that you have included is beautiful!! I am impressed with the small vegetation growing from the cracks in the arched wall and from the various small landscape vignette’s you have included throughout. The over-all effect is wonderfully life-like. A job very, very well done sir!! Dave

[@howarth004]

Thank you dave for your kind comment , always liked doing the scenics , live in a dream world I suppose where all is green and good ...but its my little world up there and have enjoyed doing this layout .....Cheers Dave

[@TheZimma]

Thanks for the tour Dave all looking good, nice running session too,i like the pub scene,all the best Tony

[@howarth004]

Thanks Tony , got there in the end ...what next ?? shall have to get my thinking cap on...Cheers DAve

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

A journey of delight! It just goes to show what can be done with enough skill determination and enthusiasm! We are fortunate to be living at a time when building such a realistic and accurate model railway is possible!

[@howarth004]

Thank you Mike , and yes how the hobby has changed in the short time I have been in it 7 years now , dcc was just getting off the ground , and now well everything is there to help the modeller ...Cheers Dave

[@PineTreeJunction]

[@suzuki750stu]

Looks fantastic Dave and everything runs really smooth, cheers Stu

[@JR-SCOOT]

Dave your hard work is a credit to the railway modelling world. A superb layout I thoroughly enjoyed your tour and looking at the number of views the video has had so did a lot of other people. Thank you for sharing.

[@howarth004]

Thank you John R ..been a few changes since this done ..glad you enjoyed ...cheers dave

[@leeludlowart237]

+David Howarth I'm going to go through all your videos when the mrs is at work and relax with a cuppa so I'll see all the changes. Ie always wanted a layout like this so I think I will start small and as I learn get bigger and bigger. I don't know what it is but I watch this video and I feel like a kid at Christmas lol. Again thank you so much for sharing and so much pleasure to me :)

[@howarth004]

[@howarth004]

Paul Frazer Glad you enjoyed .. been a few changes since this ... Cheers Dave

[@EM-yk1dw]

Fantastic layout Dave, thanks for your advice re lighting. I have bought a regulated power supply and will wire my LED lights with 3 volt supply. I love the raised section of the line at the back too.

[@johnnyjohnson7435]

you a tarn lad dave sound alot like me anyway just like to say that's a proper awesome layout and everyone can see how much time you've put in to it amazing quality all round

[@davidpocknee5672]

Thanks for the info. Just after sending my question I found another video of yours giving the sizes - sorry to have troubled you. I also meant to say what a great layout - I’m very envious!

[@howarth004]

No problems ...Thanks ...Dave

[@greylocks3272]

You have done a marvellous job, David. Thanks for sharing your achievement.

[@howarth004]

Grey Locks Thank you , this is my old layout , just about completed my last new one .. cheers Dave

[@donaldkoenig3880]

Hi Dave: I am an 80 year young and just starting in Model RR.Have N gauge 30" x 59" lay out and I give you the credit for getting me started you do an awsome job with the video' s, keep up the great work. Don Koenig

[@howarth004]

Hi Donald , sorry I gave wrong measurements there ...should have been just 5"from lower to upper level , have just been and done a full measurement check so will post on this next video ..but they are here for you to see ....30 ft. Long ....7ft. wide, H.from floor to first level 3ft.6"....and 2ft.10 " right had side to center with 2ft.11" on the other side and the lower to upper level is 5"..so as I say sorry for giving you wrong dimensions ...And well at 80 to start is never too late , I know N gauge will be more difficult to model , but all the very best to you with this project .....Dave

[@TardisMarch]

looks like your actually there :) awesome my friend take care David ;)

[@fiferjohnston]

Why would 59 people dislike this?? It's a great layout. Probably jealousy.

[@howarth004]

Hi Laurie ..well could be ..but some jokers seem to like doing that ..thanks for commenting ..cheers dAve

[@tsrail9244]

Theres always haters...

[@mcspikes1]

It's total ignorance. They have no idea what goes into a layout like this and therefore don't appreciate it.

[@leeludlowart237]

I'm jealous too but so greatful that people like this upload cos I can't afford anything like this so I'd never get the pleasure of looking at it. It's incredible

[@petermcgilvray6615]

Hy i`m 57 and i love it am into model railways myself it`s the fascination for trains from being a kid.

[@CavanRail001]

That's something to be very proud of. It has everything you need, and will go on for years giving enjoyment. Very good video and a fantastic layout Dave.. Daz

[@howarth004]

***** Thank you very much Daz, kind of you to comment ...cheers Dave

[@Image_72]

Excellent Dave. Not what I was expecting after listening to your plans when you first started the changes last year. This is by far much better than what I thought you were gonna do. A tremndous transformation. Very well done.

[@howarth004]

Thank you Dave , I was not too sure myself when I started and of course no plan to work from , so was pleased myself how it turned out , did make the odd change here and there , and suppose will do more , but well pleased now so maybe keep it till next winter ...Cheers Dave

[@malcolmfisher3539]

Fantastic, me and my grandson have a 16ft x 4ft layout boxed up in the garage since we downsized, and having seen your layout you have rekindled our enthusiasm and we are making plans for the loft. Thanks malc bb68252

[@howarth004]

Thank you very much Malcolm , hope you and your Grandson get plenty of joy out of building a new layout in the loft , keeps me occupied especially in the winter months ...Cheers dave

[@CassioSerra]

Great, great, great.

[@howarth004]

Thank you very much ...Dave

[@coachnut1]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this! Fantastic attention to detail. The lights and sounds complement a magnificent display.

[@howarth004]

Glad you enjoyed it! Bit since i completed this , the layout has changed a few times since , thank you for the kind comment ..cheers Dave

[@BoyzInTheHoo]

"...my wife Deb, also known as The Stig...for her gentle driving shall we say..." had me in stitches. Creative skills and a Sense of humour!! Brilliant

[@howarth004]

WEll I think that most Debs must have a desire for fast driving , mine certainly has ....just starting to slow down now as we get older .....glad you found the video entertaining ..cheers Dave

[@rayevans688]

wow what a great layout

[@howarth004]

Thank you very much ....some good ones out there these days ..cheers Dave

[@DundeeRoad]

Nice Layout David

[@howarth004]

Thank you very much , one or two changes since this was taken.....cheers Dave

[@DundeeRoad]

Cool, just watching your videos getting ideas to add to my small layout. I wish I had the space that you and some of the other guys have. I have also decided to document it on here.

[@howarth004]

Sometimes its a lot better to have a small layout , a lot of maintenance to do with a big one ...Cheers Dave

[@DundeeRoad]

Well I'm just starting the journey so will see where it takes me.

[@howarth004]

Enjoy as I am sure you will ...Dave

[@SDJR7F88]

Super tour of the layout Dave! You certainly have put a lot of work into it! Loving all the signals and lights! Very clever tip for log loads! Was wondering how you made them! All your building look amazing with all the lights and people in side! They guy keeps on popping up every where! LOL! Super running clips! Tried to filmed the weathering commissions I did in action today, but all did not go well so I might give it a miss sadly. Keep up the great work as always!

[@rkay0516]

That's a great model railroad you've got there. I love the long runs you've got and especially like your scenery and villages.

[@howarth004]

Thank you very much Rick ........Dave

[@howarth004]

[@andylampmann4570]

The Layout is looking and sounding Fantastic

[@howarth004]

Thank you Andy ...all done now ??

[@WalterO1959]

Thumbs up again Dave beautiful job. So whats next for Dangerous Dave?????

[@howarth004]

Thanks Walter ..think dangerous dave may have to take a break ..? get the wife to take me off to some warm climate (I wish) ...think the garden will be taking priority soon Walter , but will keep adding the odd railway video ..Cheers Dave

[@lisaclarke9714]

David Howarth

[@bikerides]

Excellent re-use of your existing scenic items and buildings. It is all those little details that help. I like the fire station as an excuse to display some engines. Looking forward to the track view.

[@howarth004]

Thanks John , will upload one short;y with the track view and no doubt then find all the faulty bits ...Dave

[@BigPete7407]

Hello, I just came upon your channel and your layout is very impressive, a fine piece of work. I particularly like the rows of houses and other buildings with the brick facades and the scratchbuilt bridge. I look forward to seeing the rest of your videos as inspiration as I begin my own railroad long overdue. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful layout!

[@howarth004]

Hi Peter , thank you very much for your comment , good luck with building your railroad , its a great hobby and something that I have enjoyed now for the last 10 years , few changes have happened along the way ...but keeps the old grey matter going ..Thanks again and here is my latest showing how I have overcome a problem getting under my layout ...as now getting very arthritic and finding a problem using the access kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGmll6SCotp7iZo Cheers Dave

[@harrycday6528]

David I did watch earlier tv of your layout which I was amazed with it. I just could not think that it could be improved upon, but you have proved me wrong. What an amazing man you are, thank you very much. Harry Day, Edinburgh.

[@howarth004]

Harry C Day Thank you very much Harry for your kind Comment , been a few changes since this video was made , still a great hobby .... Cheers Dave

[@bobnweaver]

What a superb model railway Dave, it just oozes atmosphere. Great idea with the logs and a great effort overall and with the videoing of it. Cheers, Jeff.

[@howarth004]

Thank you very much Jeff , its turned out not too bad even without a track plan , few probs along the way , but nothing serious ...Cheers Dave

[@robertparkes4982]

I'm really envious !!! Great work, I love it to bits.............

[@MrBrockberg]

amazing stuff Dave Love the Steam Train layouts just makes me remember being a kid sitting on the swing with my pap at 4 looking at the model train magazines. Man i wish i could get into this

[@howarth004]

Thank you Brett , it was only 7 years ago that I first took an interest in this Hobby and now I am 71 , so you got chance to start yet ....thanks for commenting ...Cheers Dave

[@brandyboy65]

I can't add any more to what everyone else has said. Amazing,amazing layout. I was an avid model railway fan when I was younger but having lots of marriages and kids put paid to that. But I can relive my childhood through people like you Dave. Bless you.

[@howarth004]

+John McCann Thank you very much John , glad you enjoyed an d brought back memories , you could do like me wait till you retire and start again , its only then that I got time to do this ...cheers Dave

[@brandyboy65]

+David Howarth I am retired Dave. I`m 70 and have lived in Spain for 16 years. Bit late now mate. ;-)

[@howarth004]

+John McCann Well never too late to start , this last layout I stared back in 2013 and I was 70 then ...problem in Spain is getting a supply of Stock ...but a few on here live in Spain and show there layouts regular ....hope its warmer (which of course it will be ) very cold here again ....Cheers dave

[@brandyboy65]

+David Howarth. No space here mate. When I lived in Northampton my loft was kitted out for my layout., plus I`m a musician so any spare space is taken up by my instruments,and I have loads of pet cockatiels to look after. And yes it was 23c today. John .

[@howarth004]

+John McCann 23 d. phew ..it was +2d . this morning ...felt colder ....O well I shall have to wait for holidays to get to that temp , we went to Tenerife in early November and it got to 27d ..that sure felt warm for us living up here in the North of the UK ....enjoy you retirement in the sun ...Dave

[@johnp9235]

This Sir is a damn fine work of art. I've come here because me and my Dad have decided to join forces and build a model railway. He's been in and out for years n' years and as a child it obviously rubbed off on me. I'm 32 now and I can't wait to get started.

[@howarth004]

Glad you found this and its given you inspiration to get started with your Dad , its a hobby you will enjoy , and helps pass the time especailly in winter time ..cheers dave

[@davidwinslow9206]

What an inspirational layout, fun to watch, beautiful trains, scenery and backdrop. I truly enjoyed watching your video. Such a nice job!

[@howarth004]

Thank you very much for your kind comment, glad you enjoyed ......Cheers Dave

[@kensmithmail]

This is a complete work of art, I have never seen anything as brilliant before, this should be on show to the public every day, a video is not enough.

[@howarth004]

kensmithmail Thank you very much Ken , I have done quite a lot of changes and improvements since this was made , all great fun , and a lot of good ones out there these days ... Cheers Dave

[@MrG0vii]

Excellent work Dave.Making a start on a layout in the garage for my set. Cheers for now.

[@austinyingst5902]

Looks great. Smooth running as usual. Glad to see the duplicate suspension bridge. And so quickly, it seems. Thanks.

[@howarth004]

You found the completed one , yes and few changes been made since this was done....Cheers dave

[@yojimbo999]

WOW! I'm not into trains but happened to stumble on your video. To say I'm impressed is an understatement. I admire people who can build what you have achieved. Well done!

[@howarth004]

Thank you very much Christopher for your kind comment , its a hobby I started 7 years ago when I retired and it sort of overtook me I got carried away but enjoyed doing this .....Cheers Dave

[@TheDiomedef16]

A master-class in modelling. Thanks for sharing Dave. Ian

[@howarth004]

Thank you very much for your kind comment ...Cheers dave

[@Colin21454]

Spectacular guided tour, and plenty of your stock having a running session, nice touch old ginger bread man pops up again, cheers thanks for sharing

[@howarth004]

Colin Prosser Hi Colin , few changes since this was taken , but it’s a great hobby .. Cheers Dave

[@Castlebridge-00]

Dave, you give so much inspiration. Been following you for quite a while and can't wait to get mine started. I was just thinking whilst watching , that a track level trip round the layout would be good and at the end, you mentioned it. It's a big thank you from me and a very well done. Barry.

[@howarth004]

Thats a kind thing to say Barry , and glad it has helped to get you in the mood to get stuck in , yes I shall try and get a video out soon with a track level video , got to find that minicam and make sure it still works ...Cheers Dave

[@pwalpar]

You have done a great job on it Dave you time this winter was well spent

[@howarth004]

Thanks Walter ,it has kept me busy during the colder months ...gardening time soon ...Cheers dave

[@FrankELembo]

Really nice layout, two buildings, the Pub & the Church, remind me of my Mom's hometown Gowerton, South Wales. (near Swansea). Thanks !

[@Geoffmay33]

An awesome layout Dave. I particularly like your illuminated advertising hoardings. An incredible effort in such a comparably short time. Well done.

[@howarth004]

Thank you very much Geoff , those advertising Hoardings do add that bit , when I first saw them I thought must put a few on my layout .....Cheers Dave

[@duncan1945]

just spotted this video david, your a bloody genius . Ive not seen as good at many public displays. I just love it. Makes me want to start all over again. Regards Duncan.

[@howarth004]

Hi Duncan , well thank you very much for your very kind comment , been loads of changes since this , and just doing a big re design just now , be brave an start over again , I do it regularly ...Cheers Dave

[@petercook9947]

Well done Dave. A really great layout and you can be very proud and satisfied with all the hard work you have done to make this a remarkable piece of [engineering]. There really is something very magical about steam and displays such as your are the only way of showing the younger generation what they have missed.Once again Dave Well Done

[@howarth004]

Thank you very much Peter , there has been a few heartaches doing this one , but got there in the end , maybe it will help a few would be modellers realise what can be achieved with a layout ..and no need to get carried away like I did LOL ..but even a few changes have been made since this was taken , just uploaded a xmas video showing the layout as it is now kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKKmeJuHjcufjJI hope you can enjoy this one ...Cheers dave

[@AllSortsOfStuff58]

You put a lot of work into your layout Dave and it has definitely been worth every bead of sweat. I wish I had your skills and the time to exercise them, but nevertheless it's been fascinating watching you. What on earth are you going to do now? Do you enjoy operating as much as building? I get the impression that many modellers don't really want their layout ever to be finished. I wouldn't be surprised if I feel that way when get that far, if I ever do!! Even now I'm thinking of starting again and I haven't even finalised the track plan!!..................David

[@howarth004]

Hi David , thank you for your kind comment , and yes a layout is never done , but I do get a lot of enjoyment out of building the layouts , its like painting a picture though , when its done you are ready to start again , but think this time I shall give it a rest for the rest of this year , my other Hobby starts shortly .gardening and keeping my Koi Carp ...Cheers dave

[@elizabethchamney2495]

[@STEVEHARLEY1956]

Great video Dave....you should be justifiably proud of what you've created once again. Brilliant !!! well done....Steve.

[@howarth004]

Tha k you very much Steve , it has helped the winter pass , and with having everything at hand it was easier this time to get the layout up and running ..garden and fish time soon and not forgetting NYMR ...cheers dave

[@Celtic2Realms]

Very well done Dave = enjoyed it and near fell off the chair with laughter at the pop-up at 7.30 and enjoyed the layout even more.

[@howarth004]

Thank you glad you enjoyed it , ginger bread man seems to have made a new home in my loft these days lol....Cheers Dave

[@steburge1]

Absolutely fantastic Dave, you must be very pleased and proud it's a credit to you,I look forward to more videos Best wishes Steve

[@howarth004]

Thank you very much Steve , it did come out not too bad to say no plan as such , kept me busy during the winter , looking forward to work on the garden and my fish now ....cheers dave

[@MrFogmang27]

I have been away from the computer for a bit. I have to say you have done an amazing job. The layout is fantastic. The lighting looks great. You have been a very busy man, my friend. You also managed to fit in a few weekends and side trips. Your weekend getaway looked like a perfect spot. You can't beat the old time rock and roll. There must have been a heck of a storm for the water to be that rough. The break water was taking a good beating. Your little buddy must of got his butt kicked. I can see why there was nobody there at that time. Your visit to Scarborough looked like it was a pleasant time. It looks like a nice place. I liked the little protected harbor. I have to get caught up on all my mails and messages. Sorry it took so long to respond. As always it's always a visit to pay a visit to you and Deb.

[@howarth004]

Hi Bob , welcome back ..thanks for the compliment ... that weekend away at Harrogate was great , nice Hotel and food with great entertainment it was my birthday so had to celebrate (and I did ) the layout if I dare say it is now done ?but as you know I shall be no doubt changing somethings but yes fairly pleased with how it came out myself ...Think now its time took me off on one of those coach tours to give the railway a rest !! ....Cheers Dave

[@SofiiaMs]

Brilliant - great use of loft space. We're just starting ours as a retirement project, but I can't see it ever growing to the scale of yours. Some nice ideas there - well done and thanks for sharing it!

[@howarth004]

Thank you very much , and best of luck for building your layout ...I did start small 6 years ago , sort of got carried away though ...Cheers Dave

[@samraedeker8002]

I enjoyed all of the sites today, I just saw the video and this is the first time I watched it. Have a nice weekend.

[@howarth004]

Hi David and darlene , yes this was when I said completed ?? never completed though ...thanks and you both have a great weekend ...cheers Dave

[@StontonGrangeRailway]

Looking good Dave, excellent layout of a fair size aswell. Hopefully this one will be many years of happy modelling.

[@howarth004]

Tha nk you very much , not sure about lasting many years , this is the third in 6 years , so anything can happen ...Cheers dave

[@alanlogan5254]

Absolutely fantastic!. I am new to modelling and can't even begin to imagine how you started to put all this together. Ah well a step at a time I guess! Al

[@howarth004]

Thank you Alan , all started very small about 10 years ago now ..then sort of got carried away ...great Hobby though ...cheers Dave

[@andycummingswithTheMLMCLUB]

Unbelieveable achievement Dave you are a star just watched all the video your attention to detail is amazing..

[@SolarRailway]

[@howarth004]

Thank you very much Matt, I shall keep the vids rolling for a bit yet with this layout ...Cheers dAve

[@MrHarrisTrains]

[@howarth004]

Glad you enjoyed ..hope you don't get indigestion afterwards .....I have made a few changes since this video ...Cheers dave

[@virgocomputing]

Great upload Dave, Well worth watching. I love seeing an overview of everything in one video, Really shows how much hard work goes into a railway :) I do love your pair of class 20's - They really sound nice! So... the end????? I don't think so- You'll always think of something to add to your layout! Best wishes to Yourself and Deb Steve

[@howarth004]

Thank you Steve , taking a bit to get there , but all done for now (dare I say) thanks for watching this new rebuild , it has been enjoyable to do ....Thanks again Dave

[@WoelkerVideo]

Hi Dave, I think you have the best model railway layout of UK. Excellent Video from the model scenery. Here everything is just right down to the smallest detail. My congratulations on this successful model railway layout. Greetings Günter

[@howarth004]

That is a very kind comment from you Gunter ..there are a lot of good ones though ..but we do have a bit of fun with this hobby ....Thanks again ..and Greetings Dave

[@craiggybear1807]

Seriously, I'd need to set alarms to remember to eat! I could sit in there for a week. Brilliant. Love it. Thanks for sharing. :D

[@howarth004]

Well I do the Same ..my wife just shouts up ...YOUR DINNER IS READY ...Cheers Dave

[@mabarbe9545]

Great job, you're in my favorite inspiration now ^^ I'll look again your video before starting my layout. And no, your video is not to long, just enought to enjoy the ride and wanted to see more. Good luck for next layout and trains

[@howarth004]

Thank you kindly ...hope your layout comes along smoothly...as for mke starting again ???? one never knows ...Cheers Dave

[@Arrivatrainswalesfan]

Excellent Tour. Most enjoyed. I think a layout tour lets the viewer see all aspects of a layout which is good because in a normal update people will only see the changes. Thanks for the upload. Great Work

[@howarth004]

Thank you for commenting , yes I thought it would show better having a all round picture of the layout ....its just a problem trying to hold the camera and turn at the same time , should get a good tripod I know ..thanks again ..Dave

[@mattbov14]

Hi dave.. great looking new layout. .well done its a big achievement. . Love the suspension bridge with the lake underneath. Cheers Matt

[@howarth004]

Thank you Matt , as you say that suspension bridge adds a bit of something to the layout ...Cheers dave

[@eottoe2001]

In someways this reminds me of Pennsylvania. A couple CSX SD-40 engines would fit right in particularly at the town scene. This is such a nice sharing. Thank you.

[@howarth004]

eottoe2001 Glad you enjoyed , this is a old one , I have just downloaded my latest layout which is nearly completed ... have a good Christmas ... cheers Dave

Thanks Keith , just wondered if I had put too much on there , but it is about right , trouble is I had twice as much from the last layout and trying to place it was a problem , so some have been binned solved that problem .. my little helper still hanging in there , keep threatening him when I get a pot of tea ..make a nice dunk in the tea ......Cheers Dave

Brilliant. Always wanted to do this, just started looking into this 'model' railway world - another sharp learning curve (going to do a 1944 theme). Yours is fantastic. The background is particularly good.

Hello there,great video! Congratulations for your excellent model railway! :D But l have a problem and l need your help...l am a beginner and l have no idea how on earth l am going to make it,but l'd really love to make a diorama of a ruined city.So, l have some questions: 1) l would like to put some lights and glowing signs,but l want them to flash and look broken.ls there a way to make a model lamp post that will look like that? 2) l really wanna add sound effects to my diorama.How can l achieve that? 3) l am going to build a church in the centre of my diorama.l want it to have stained glass windows.What material should l use to make it look as realistic as possible (bear in mind l want it to be paintable)? 4)Any ways for adding movement to my diorama? What kind of motors should l use and how can l install them and then hide them? Sorry for all these questions,but l really need some serious help from a professional,and you definitely look like one! :D Take your time,l know they are way too many to ask in a comment,but l really need them answered! P.M. me if you want! Thanks in advance! Liked and subscribed! :D :)
