Unreal bargains and why didn’t I go to the NEC liberty Junction Ep52

[@melkitson]

The clarity of the video shots is superb. I like the idea of the waiting room as the shed and agree that you should show your mug. So far all we have seen is your hands and forearms which look younger than you sound.

[@doubleodave]

Cheers Mel yeah new phone has made a good difference - I do have beautiful forearms 🤣

[@Proper_Chuffed]

That layout looks like a dogs breakfast. And I am hungry. Mate, I am loving the change in approach here, it's great seeing you go through various options as you start seeing a need for various pieces on the layout. Great update and top notch commentary as always. I am so glad you bought me that Acccurascale 31, can't wait to get it!

[@doubleodave]

I forgot to mention new layout is back to 3m wide rather than 4.5 hence the required changes. Hope you don’t mind the copying/not copying done bone

[@Proper_Chuffed]

[@Andrew-mb8xp]

OOh Super, Smashing, Great. Nice one there Dave. I really am looking forward to seeing you build LJ2. It has some very interesting features. Aussie land is gone!!... (Sniff) will have to watch 37's to help heal the wounds...

[@doubleodave]

I released the animals but they’ve not gone far mate they’ve taken residence above the station line

[@stephendavies6949]

Hi Dave. Another excellent video. I snapped up one of those Kernow 47s (Greyfriers Bobby), although I was very tempted by Billingham Enterprise, too. Don't reveal yourself, Dave. You're the Kendo Nagasaki (are you too young to get that cultural reference? Wish I was!) of the model railway world.

[@doubleodave]

I was also tempted with Bellingham Enterprise too - it all gets crackers doesn’t it 👍💰💰💰

[@terenceburns4627]

Hi did just watched latest release great camera angles nice one mate I’m in process of building my first garden shed layout so I should be kept busy for a good while 👍

[@doubleodave]

Cheers pal 👍👍

[@darrelldeltic807]

Been eying up that 47 you’ve got but dwelling on the other ones at the bargain prices 🙈 great update with the LJ2 project mate! Cheers Darrell 😊👍

[@doubleodave]

Yeah I’d have gone for the tinsley one at kernow had I not pulled the trigger on that 31

[@steelbird1]

LJ2 looks like it will be epic. Im new to this and just starting to build my own modest layout. Binged all your videos mate, love em, this is my new fav channel, good humor and mad themes, keep them coming.

[@doubleodave]

Hey cheers pal, glad you like 👍 I just wish it was all 80s pricing though then I’d have loads!

[@JerseyBill-x9r]

Holy fecal matter Batman! The layout plan went off the rails comparing it to the last thing I seen. Well, I'll wait for the final iteration, lol. Sorry to hear about the boxing Kangaroo because we have a similar problem with a wrestling bear so good luck with that. The blue things are containers for shipping pool tables with the legs removed, lol. Knowing how you are you would show your face with a Santa beard and costume on so go on do it. Hylton said you look like Russel Raven I mean Crow. The TMC has ring problems because it is blowing allot of diesel out the stack. What size is the TV? Nice Video, Jersey Bill

[@Avondaleandhalshawmoor]

Ha same as you couldn't be arsed with trek and been a hermit all weekend watching vids on here......great vid pal

[@duncanrhodes4778]

Well thanks again OODave, that was a cracking start to my week. Plans for LJ2 coming along nicely. The introduction of phase 3 with the station looks interesting, but does it not mean that the entire side of four (actually 2) lines will be completely hidden? It seems like an awful lot of track to hide, unless I am missing something. Back to LJ1 and your locos, both weathered and unweathered, look fabulous. I could sit and watch them all day. In fact, some days I do. As for a Christmas Special featuring an actual appearance, I can’t make my mind up. You are virtually the only model rail You tuber who does not show his face and there is something cool about the mystery. Still no sign of your missus, either in a voice over or in picture. I guess we can’t have everything. 😊 Cheers, enjoy the new TV.

[@doubleodave]

The shelf will sit above the scenic section about 18” above and I’d put lights under it to light the below. The computer program makes it look like it blocks it but that’s just how it works. The Christmas special may or may not have a twist of course 😆

[@morganmarty]

Hi Dave, as a subscriber to your great channel, yes I think you should show your mug, maybe just once, I also love your Idea for the new shed, I like the old fashioned waiting room plan, thank you for sharing, stay safe buddy

[@doubleodave]

Yeah I’m swaying towards the old waiting room too - in fact in the colours of that coach 👍👍

[@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY]

I think you could build your shed to represent a Dylington Custard tanker 😁. Get yourself over here for a free planning and design clinic, Dave. You won't regret it. Get booked in for a double session ( one hour). Thinking about it, if we see you on the Christmas special, we could look out for you at the Doncaster show 😁 ....cheers James 🙂👍

[@andydavidson9440]

James are you Paul Lunn’s promotions man? Seriously DOD, he is absolutely right to make the suggestion about the design clinic. LJ2 is looking good and Paul will be a great sounding board to refine your plan. 👌👍

[@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY]

@andydavidson9440 Hi Andy, I'm sure Paul would really help DOD, realise his vision for LJ2. We're booked in for the next one... Cheers James 🙂👍

[@andydavidson9440]

Hi James, next one I can make is 18 Jan and maybe we will find time to catch up and meet DOD as I am sure Chesterfield is not far from him (vs NEC!). Andy

[@doubleodave]

To be fair I’ll see what’s what when I get the shed built as that’s gonna be a mammoth task in itself. The circular design of a custard tank could be beyond my abilities! PS I’ve never been to Chezzy

[@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY]

@doubleodave well nows you're chance Dave, seriously though Paul really would help you iron out any potential problems and look at how to get the best from the space you have. He specialises in track plans and does the PECO track plan books. I'm looking forward to seeing the yellow tanker shaped train room 😁👍

[@medwaypeninsulaMR]

Hi OO - Yes lets see the face of Liberty Junction on the Xmas special as it will be much easier for stalking purposes !! The new train shed needs to be train related . Cheers Kev

[@doubleodave]

Cheers Kev 😃👍 I’ve had a rate old festive idea 🤩

[@DaventryParkway]

Massive project Dave, really look forward to seeing your new shed. Don't worry, I didn't make it to Birmingham either!

[@doubleodave]

Yeah no doubt will take some time before any rails even go in, but it will be worth it to save the yearly conifer trim 🤣

[@LanchomeJunction]

Wow Dave, that "shed" will be brilliant, and of course, eventually, you could implement phase 4 - the garden railway! forget NEC mate, you'll be able to stage your own exhibitions there, put me down for a ticket- you know I'm good for it!

[@doubleodave]

Rate idea I’ll contact Liberty office for ticket pricing 😆😆 It’s gonna be a decent projects but will keep me out of trouble 😆

[@TheWoodlandhoBo]

Christmas special with your mug in the shot would be sweet. Other than your voice we wouldn’t know how to notice you at shows. Nice one Dave you crease me up.

[@doubleodave]

Leave it with me 😊👍

[@andydavidson9440]

Dave, we might regret it, but yes let’s see what you look like. You must have seen the stardom that NJ Richard and IHR Craig get from their viewers at the shows! 😂

[@doubleodave]

I’ll see what I can do 🤣

[@PeckhamHall]

Your plan for your new layout is looking alright, don't forget if your going to want roads and moving vehicles on them to put that in your plans before you start. I went and got that machine, if you want any brick walling/retaining walls that's all still way off, work in progress, it's going to take a few weeks even to get the machine going as a couple of clips shook loose in transit and two ceramic elements dropped down and ripped the wires out. If you want anything making quick you could send me something that you get from someplace else and some plastic sheets in the material and thickness you want it in and I could duplicate the one you send me from a cast mould of it, other than that I'm looking on get an 18,5kw inverter and possibly an old Hass mini mill to do some different brick and retaining walls moulds but I'll be on a learning curve with all that and I need to sell a few things first but I'll be trying to nock something up with my mates 3D printer possibly in the meantime.

[@doubleodave]

Yeah there’s still loads of planning to do I’ll not forget 👍 That’s a shame that the machine sustained some damage hopefully fixes up ok. Exciting times, at some point I need to go down the 3D printing wormhole

[@PeckhamHall]

@doubleodave It a vacuum former Dave remember not a 3D printer.

[@going2thedogs]

Hey Dave, that new Bachmann class 47 you have in Freightliner livery looks fantastic. A great price too!

[@doubleodave]

I’m gonna detail up the front end when I get five minutes and some new glue 😀

[@paulmarmion358]

Another great video 👍

[@doubleodave]

Cheers Paul 👍

[@AshWeir]

You didn’t miss anything at the NEC to be honest Dave, it was much smaller than Warley used to be, ended up being a little meh. However it seemed well supported, so all being well, it will improve as time goes on. Thankfully managed to get some cheap train tickets from Preston, so not too much cost. Good fun video as usual 👍🏻

[@doubleodave]

I’ll go to one at some point - I’ll work on my motivation levels 🤩

[@colwichjunction3366]

Proper good episode that DOD…. I do like the silliness, but it’s nice to see what you’ve got planned for LJ2. Should be epic, but blimey you’re gonna need some serious amount of track! I’m liking the new 47 you got quite a few now, I haven’t even got one…. can’t quite believe that, seeing as no layout should be without at least one 47. There’s a dilemma brewing here at Colwich…. Dr Beeching is about to come back from the dead & cut back & close the layout😢 we’re going to move house & i’m not sure where we will end up??? My ideas are, focus on a small O gauge shunting layout or go for a OO TMD either way a new “watch trains go by” layout seems a long way off at the moment. What do you reckon? It’s all pants 😕 Cheers 🥸John b *The NEC would have been smelly anyway!

[@doubleodave]

Ah mate that poor lovely layout!!! I mean O is lovely but ain’t cheap is it and you already have the OO stuff. Plus £600 a loco is eye watering 🤣🤣 I try ell you what though I absolutely love that fountainhall tmd that does the shows haven’t even seen it in person but something like that would be decent. You need Ladderman and his mates to help you clear out? 🥹

[@NewModelRailway1]

I'm cool with you showing your face; I have a robust constitution. Just promise me you won't use your happy voice at the same time. Moving on, I can't say I'm a big fan of kangaroo boxing, but I am partial to a bit of penguin cage fighting. 🐧🐧🐧 With regard to that bomber guy getting off scot free, I reckon if you tell the police guy that bomber guy also said some hurty words about someone with ginger hair, then bomber guy will get his just deserts.

[@doubleodave]

Happy voice it is then 🤩😇😇

[@WayneAtkinson89]

Glad my financial advice has been heeded, invoice is in the post pal 👍👍 I don’t think theres poor people need to see your mug, I’d save it for LJ2 then you know your viewers are truly hardcore if they are still here by then 😂😂😂 Top vid as allways pal 👍👍👍

[@doubleodave]

Wrap the invoice around a loco before you past it pal 😆

[@ModelRailwayShed]

Dave! Be great to see you on an Xmas special maybe even a live stream? However you will no longer be the international man of mystery Ps any postcards from Ladder man All the best DEANO

[@doubleodave]

Top man Deano 👍👍👍

[@tonyrobinson362]

Remember Dave the Accurascale 31 has all the door handles in the open position check actual photos out, The Bachmann 31s door handles are correct.

[@doubleodave]

That’s perfect as my house door handles are all the wrong way too 🙃

[@tonyrobinson362]

​@@doubleodaveI knew they would be! Take care.

[@Steve-tr1qh]

Updated layout looks the business mate, and I really liked version 1! Clearly a lot of thought going into the project. As for revealing your identity........NO NO NO NO NO, HELL NO. PLEASE NO. JUST NO. LIKE NOT EVER. AT ALL. PLEASE NO

[@doubleodave]

I need some pulling tackle for the conifers 😇

[@Steve-tr1qh]

@doubleodave I'll bring it round on Friday.

[@hotdogpilot6319]

Like the waiting room idea and yeah show your face by all means. I guess we all have an idea what you look like, let's see if it matches up to our imagination lol.

[@doubleodave]

Yeah I was impressed with myself thinking to do that 😆

[@tonyrobinson362]

Hey up have you won the lottery hope you've costed it out? Looks impressive.

[@karlwalker6118]

Hi Dave, have you had disconnecting issue with your 66? i only ask as i have had loads with mine and with LJ2 you have a similar loop back and just wanted to say it would need to be at least 4th radius on the inner line ... not sure about seeing your Face might be a bit too scary that

[@doubleodave]

I think they’re minimum fourth from memory. No mate no disconnect issues but it’s only ever ran that train it’s got now to be fair. I can’t remember if it’s standard connector, Kadee or hornby magnetic though I’ll check when I get chance and get back to you 👍👍

[@AshWeir]

Could show your face as a one off mate, so would say hi at a show sometime!

[@doubleodave]

I did have a funny little plan in place for the NEC but my lack of motivation ruined it 😂

[@AshWeir]

@@doubleodave wouldn’t have expected anything less 😉

[@MarkTheVicar]

Maybe all your followers could send you a picture of themselves and if you spot one at the show you can decide if you want to reveal who you are to them....just an idea

Forgot to mention, with all that ballasting coming up, save loads of money by using sand. Sieve out the dolphins and submarines and your ready to go! Needs to be beach sand though, don’t nick it off a building site 😉

I can’t even think about ballasting it fills me with fear!
