One of the best, brief descriptions of Block Detection, Steve

[@modeloco]

🙏 That was the intention and coming from my own experience 👍

[@andybmodelrailways]

Great explanation of block detection some folk make it sound so difficult but good ole fashion Yorkshire straight to the point. Look forward to seeing some more on this as you progress.

[@modeloco]

Thanks Andy. It’s strange that when I put my modeling workman head on, the accent really comes out. It naturally links to common sense just like those amazing Yorkshire sayings. Interesting too, that common law, which is actually a natural law, coined also English law, which too, is straight to the point and simple to understand and yet, British Legalese law has basically snook in on us and led us up the garden path into a right pickle. Didn’t see that coming out but, back to block detection 👍

[@odenviking]

thanks for a intresting video on block detection. i liked your simpe and yet easy block plan. 👍👍👍👍🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

[@modeloco]

Thank you 🙏. My next step is in the pipeline

[@stephendehavilland5254]

Great video Andy! I don't have a Scooby - Doo (clue) what you you are talking about regarding the electronics but I appreciate all the work and the positive attitude towrards block- detection, HDMI, etc. Brilliant, keep the videos coming 🙂

[@modeloco]

Cheers Stephen. Lofthouse won't be going Block Detection but, the garden run I've always wanted to sit & just watch the trains go by.

Love the loco lift Andy!!! Love to build one for myself!!!!! Thanks for the videos!👏👏👏👏

[@modeloco]

Very kind of you to say. Go in bursts of wonder then wonder why. Maybe cos it’s such a Maaaaad World. Tears for fears. 😂

[@wamgoc]

@@modelocoA detailed video of what you used and how you made it, would be brilliant! I was thinking of building something similar!!! 😊

[@ianhughes-zf1ll]

Absolutely sound video you are so busy doing and thinking it’s brilliant great fun watching your videos cheers Andy

[@modeloco]

Hello again Ian. A bit of Serious fun if you can spare the resources 👍

[@philmarsden8932]

Belting video Andy. Wish i could get my wife let me install a similar system from the conservatory.

[@modeloco]

So on my video you’ll see one of two new and sliding patio windows. I paid in full and that kind of helped sway the deal 👍

[@paulmarmion358]

Brilliant video 👍

[@modeloco]

Thank you Paul. We gotta keep it fun I’d say. Happy Modelling 👍

[@stephenlockhart4422]

Enjoyed the video. Your loco lift is just brilliant. Regards…. Steve 👍

[@modeloco]

Thanking you Steve. Really appreciated 🙏

[@John_N_Quay_Harbour]

Love the train lift. Very clever. And your advice to clear some space is wise.

[@modeloco]

@@John_N_Quay_Harbour The space clearing cleared my head so thought it must help others. Another great tonic is actually taking a cold shower by just turning the hot water side off for as long as you can muster. I do my legs at first then brave it, always hate the idea but, always feel so much more with it afterwards. Obviously go at you’re own pace with it 😂. Clearing space is a bit less harsh!

The Last of the Summer Wine Reminds us of the summer time The grapes were ripe, and strong were vine And love was all of life... Nice video, you have the same style station sign as I do, even down to the colour.

[@modeloco]

Hi Tim, Yeah, a bit of fun to get me in the mood. Always look back and think, gosh I was full on there lol. Love the Wine Totems 👍

[@StevenTT120Layout]

Looks good

[@modeloco]

Thanks Steven. Hope your endeavours are going well!

Enjoying your videos, have subscribed...Mal

[@modeloco]

Hey Mal, Thank you 🙏 Appreciated here too 👍

[@artismuk5309]

Hi Andy. I have shown the guys at the railway club here at the gallery. Told them I want it going outside now. I will send you updates of the railway as It progresses. Bryn at aberffraw

[@modeloco]

Oh Bryn, that’s lovely to hear and even better to hear from you. I did send you an email, did you get it? You may star in my next video which was due to come out before this one but, a review I was doing had to go back for some TLC 👍

[@stuarthiggins9161]

Very interesting video Andy. You seem to have nearly all DCC systems going. There was a company making vertical fiddle yards called Nelevataion. Don't know if they still exist. Are you going to have vertical fiddle yards at both ends i.e. in the shed as well ? Will be great to see this working.

[@modeloco]

It feels quite a way off yet but, if I dig in then yeah. I do know of the Nelevator which was a single track carousel on like a double cam belt. Wanted one but, alas they vanished so thought, well I’ll have to do one mi sen. Only one end will have a Locolift but, would love a helix at times at that end 😂

[@yorkiepudd2]

I get it, but way too much for me to bother with😂😂 but at least I understood your explanation (probs cos I understand Yorkshirish 😂) Love the guide on the reels of wire and the 3m numbering reels as I'm just about ready for those (once payday arrives - Hornby sale destroyed my bank balance)

[@modeloco]

Yes, it’s a bit of a big leap but, very intriguing In Yorkshire…a lorra faff to end up not doin’ wot ya got it all foh int f’st place.

[@yorkiepudd2]

Btw any chance you could do a cover of "freight train" 😂😂 the skiffle version not the original tho👍

[@jameshardy4354]

Have you got the class 50 yet

[@modeloco]

Hello James, Was hoping to get a “Back In Stock” notification as a sound version one wasn’t on back order so no. There’s been a bit of a communication break down since Simon left. Have you?

[@jameshardy4354]

@@modeloco I dont model tt120 I was just seeing if you had one

@@jameshardy4354 oh I see. No it wasn’t to be. Some positive reviews though 👍
