UPDATE No21 END TO END LAYOUT

[@malcolmpayne754]

Glad to learn that the operation went very well and hope you recover soon! I like the work you have done to the platforms and the methods you used to solve these difficult clearance problems. Cheers for now! Malcolm

[@robertstrainset6556]

Top Man on getting the op done and all go to plan. Great job on the platform build Robert. Worked out well.

[@robertstrainset6556]

Hi Allan, Thank you my Lord for watching and your very nice comments, the face is looking now so much better than in this video so very happy its gone so well as for the layout its coming along well so all thats needed now is for it to get cooler and then all will be right with the world. Cheers Robert.

[@paulvozman842]

Hi Robert, good to see your op went ok and all will be well. Great progress on the end to end layout, the Jinty was going through the points quite well at crawling speeds. The noise from your Manor is baffling to say the least. Nice work on the platform, making the templates and testing the coaches worked perfectly. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

[@robertstrainset6556]

Hi Paul, Yes the op went very well and its now looking a lot better than in this video so cheers for watching and your very nice comments. The Manor is indeed strange but she does work well all the time so maybe a call to Accurascale to see what they say is on the cards. I hope you are ok and its nice to see you running your trains keep it up. Cheers Robert.

[@collinsngauge5493]

Hi Robert so glad the op went well and it sounds like your going to get the wright results back from the test. The platform looked really smart, I'm really enjoying seeing you build this. Colin

[@robertstrainset6556]

Hi again Colin, Thanks for catching up with all my videos and yes the station is working out ok and just now doing the station building part which will be in the next video, so cheers for watching and your very nice and kind comments and the face is healing great so no warning will be required when I next show my face. Cheers Robert.

[@ModelRailwayShed]

[@roystrains]

Glad to hear your on the mend. The station is looking good and film shots showing the train pulling into the station look very realistic.

[@robertstrainset6556]

Hi Roy, I just need to sort out that station building and then get on with all the other parts to be done but I am pleased how its going and I thank you for watching and your very nice comments as for the op its healing very fast and looks so much better now than in this video. Hope you are both keeping well and the heat is not getting to you as it does me. Cheers Robert.

[@medwaypeninsulaMR]

[@robertstrainset6556]

[@robertstrainset6556]

Hi Adi, Thanks for watching and your very nice comments and the face is healing very well and looks a lot better now than in this video. Any news on Jerry yet can we expect a video from him soon? Cheers Robert.

[@piccadillymodelrailways]

Blimey didnt realise you were due an operation, and what a relief nothing to worry about. Great job on platform, I would have done exactly the same on the edging. May I suggest matt varnishing the plaform all over to help prevent warping.

[@robertstrainset6556]

Hi John, Yes I have had the knife but now it has healed so well it bears no resemblence to what is in this video so very happy indeed and yes I will matte varnish the platform as I did the bridge so thanks as always for watching and your very nice and helpful comments hope you are keeping well and looking forward to the summer hols. Cheers Robert.

[@piccadillymodelrailways]

@@robertstrainset6556 I cant even begin to say how much I need to stop for the summer. Still 3 weeks and 2days or... 17 working days

[@robertstrainset6556]

@@piccadillymodelrailways It will soon go after all its less than 3 weeks.

[@TRENINI-AEREI-AUTOMODELLI]

Dear Robert, The video is very nice. Spend the 6 weeks quietly because you will see that as your surgeon says it is certainly benign. A friend of mine operated on him but how cancerous he is they warn after a few days, so the more time passes the more you are calm. A big hug from your friend in Italy Alberto 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@robertstrainset6556]

Hi Albert, Thanks for you very kind words and for taking the time to watch as for the face its healing so well and looks nothing like it is in this video so very happy and as I said whatever comes my way I will deal with it I have had my 3 score years and 10 so any more is a bonus and worry does us no good. Cheers Robert.

[@nigelnicholson7439]

Good luck with the head issue. I hope all goes really well.

[@robertstrainset6556]

Hi, Thank you so much for watching and your very nice and kind comments and yes its healing very fast so I am happy. Cheers Robert.

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

Don't send Cookham Manor back to where she came from. When she runs at normal speed, the noise is hardly heard at all. I'd be devastated if she never ran on your railway again, please give her the benefit of the doubt. I love her with all my heart and soul. Glad to see Jimmy the Jinty and the Large Prairie Tank Engine running, but Cookham Manor is the one I love most of all. Glad your head op went well, I'm glad my appointment has been rearranged for Wed. 17th July, 1pm. I didn't fancy attending three days before my 42nd birthday, Sat. 6th July. Lots of love and kisses from me to Cookham Manor. You've no idea what seeing her run on your railway means to me.

[@robertstrainset6556]

Hi Kelly, I do not think that the noise the Manor makes is a problem but if it is she will be repaired under Accurascale's lifetime warranty so do not worry and yes unlike the smelly class 60 the noise goes as speed rises unlike the 60 we will see what the manufactorers say. Thank you for watching and your very nice comments and my wound is healing very well and looks a lot better now than in this video also it nice you can have your appointment changed as you can just enjoy your birthday with time to spare before it. Cheers Robert.

[@martinpattison1567]

Robert, what about cutting an angle on the new piece platform to match the angle of the station platform? Martin. (Thailand)

[@robertstrainset6556]

Hi Martin, Cheers for watching and your very nice comments but I am not sure what you mean about the angle as all I need to do is take the base of the platform back so it lines up with the new one thats the next job to do but first I hope to go to another show on Sunday if the weather is ok. Cheers Robert.

[@SheltonDCruz]

what camera do you use to shoot from the platform Robert?

[@robertstrainset6556]

Hi, Thanks for watching and your very nice comments and the camera I use is a Polaroid Cube + which is only 35mm square so fits almost anywhere. Cheers Robert.

[@hotdogpilot6319]

Hi Robert, was it done under a local anesthetic? Looks ok though and hope it isn't too painful. Layout is coming along very well.

[@robertstrainset6556]

Hi Andy, Yes a local anesthetic as if not you have to spend upto 2 days in hospital to recover as for now the wound looks so much better than in this video and only hurt for that couple of days so all good very happy. I as always thank you very much for watching and your very nice comments and I am hoping to go to another train show on Sunday so I will miss your stream sorry. Cheers Robert.

[@hotdogpilot6319]

@@robertstrainset6556 Keep a lookout for the Hornby HST power cars for your cross country coaches.

[@gordonhanning476]

I would send the Manor back as it has a lifetime warranty

[@robertstrainset6556]

Hi, Thanks for watching and your very nice comments and yes it maybe worth having a word with Accurascale about the Manor to see what they say and if it needs to be repaired then back it will go but except for the noise at very low speeds she works well!!!!. Cheers Robert.

[@overdenestation]

Robert you need some stay alives fitting to your trains mate

[@robertstrainset6556]

Hi Alan, Thanks for watching and your very nice and helpful comments and yes stay alives or electro frog points would sort it but how often do you run a loco this slow for a lot of time and just going a couple of MPH faster will sort it so I was happy with how the Jinty did and a bit more work to find the problem going backwards and I will be happy. How are you doing with yours and can we expecrt another video from you soon? Hope you are keeping well and enjoying sorting out your railway which does run well indeed. Cheers Robert.
