@@mauracurran6500 it certainly is the right decision. Just need to sort out my craft / model railway room so I can get started on some new projects.

It’s ok thanks Craig. Just got lots of ideas on a smaller scale that I can work on. Will you be at Doncaster with any layouts or trade stands so I can locate you?

@CarolFlavinlocoladies Sawyer Models,.Dccconcepts :)

@@IronHorseRailways I’ll come and find you especially on dcc concepts as I will definitely visit them.

Thank you. I am excited to get started - once my model railway room starts taking shape 🙂

Onwards and upwards!!

@@Ye_Old_Bats_Craft_Cave next weeks video!!

@@johnmartin4650 it has been really helpful to hear from other people about this. I feel a bit lost without my railway modelling to focus on but also too busy with builders etc to have time to concentrate on anything. Currently having a new boiler fitted as the old one was too unreliable- and it snowed this morning!

@@espenbgh2540 not exactly knitting no. I specialise in making scenery for model railways!!!

@@bruceyoung1343 thinking of a smaller project that I can finish!!

@ sounds like a plan for success 🙏👍

@@wolfrobots118 thank you 🙂

Front and back doors being replaced at the moment so you are right - a lot going on! May well make a micro diorama to get my creative enthusiasm going!

@@johnodonoghue7381 more info next week on my decisions in the next video.

Absolutely. See you in Doncaster. I am now more confident that the doldrums will pass as it seems to have happened to so many people as well!!!

@@MaboPete that is a really miserable place to be after all that effort. Sorry to hear it! I put this video on Facebook as well and have had such a lot of helpful responses. Having l read the comments I have decided to go to some more local exhibitions (there are quite a lot up here in Yorkshire) and make a micro layout / diorama to start getting my creative ideas going. Good luck. You probably need a bit of time away and some sunshine! (If you are in the uk that is!)

@@AndyHudson-ModelRailwayBuilds thanks Andy. Happy New year to you and yes. So many people have suggested building small and I am already thinking what I could start to do. It is interesting how often this happens to people!!!

@modeloco thank you. You are right and I shouldn’t beat myself up and need to work out exactly what will suit me next. Thank you.

@@smallworldlayouts thanks Jules. You are right. I have usually built big layouts apart from my Winter Magnorail Village and I am starting to change my thought processes. Micro layouts and dioramas look right for me for the way forward!!

@@CarolFlavinlocoladies Well you know a 'man who just about can' if I can help in any way! Best wishes.

@@smallworldlayouts thanks for the offer Jules. Just getting some new workbenches and shelves installed in about 10 days and then I will get my head round what I am gong to make. Are you doing any exhibitions this year?

@@les-halestation thank you. I really do love the hobby probably just haven’t had enough energy left over after the builders and the actual move to get on with something. Beginning to realise planning a small micro layout or diorama is the way forward for the time being.!

@@Ye_Old_Bats_Craft_Cave i’ve had a lot of very helpful replies, specially on Facebook, and I’m beginning to think that a micro layout or diorama is the way forward. It’s helped me understand that it’s the creative process I like best so watch this space. I’ll put another video up next week of what I’m actually going to do! As for decluttering.- I’m heartily sick of that now!!

@@carlteacherman194 i’m beginning to realise this is the way forward. To complete a smaller microwave and diorama will be something that I could enjoy and we’ll get my creative processes going again. So thank you.

@@Aviarius that’s a really good idea, and I’m beginning to build up a small community that I regularly communicate with. I am beginning to realise though, that a smaller project or micro layout is the way forward for the time being.. Starts my creative off and it’s something I can finish.

@@TXM thank you. You’re right - moving is an exhausting process! I’m beginning to feel more interested and inspired from all the nice comments I’ve had on UA-cam and also Facebook. Going to go to a couple of exhibitions soon and possibly make a micro layout or diorama to get the creative process is going again.

@CarolFlavinlocoladies I have a baseboard for a 009 layout, some track, a few points, two locos and one coach. I can't decide if to start with something simple and be frustrated that I should have done more or build something complicated and get frustrated building it 🤣

@@TXM I was ambitious - partly because I had a number of commissioned articles for magazines before I started it. They still want more articles but watch this space. They may end up being all about taking it to pieces. Good luck though as clearly I didn’t properly finish my ambitious layout!!

@@Watermillfilms I’ll search out that video, thank you for that. Thank you for the comment about the videos. I think I may well do a micro layout or diorama to get me going again.

@@IronHorseRailways I’ve had a lot of very positive replies from people, and I’m beginning to realise that exhibitions are the way forward as are micro layouts or dioramas. I’m planning on Doncaster although not sure which day at the moment. Certainly looking forward to settle. Someone’s also mentioned Narrow Gauge North which I think I shall try and go too. See you at Doncaster hopefully.

@CarolFlavinlocoladies you shall do, I'll be with Sawyer Models and mooching about :)

@@BerlinCardYard thank you. You are completely right. I am seriously thinking about starting again and I can take most of the scenery off and use it for other things. However, I may start with a small micro layout or diorama to get the creative processes going again. Good luck with your layouts it sounds like you’ve got lots of good ideas.

@@hazy0077 I think you are probably right. Moving house is really hard work!

@andyhames517 good idea I lost momentum completely.

@@smallworldlayouts thanks Jules. Over the next few weeks I will be detailing changes I am making (some rather destructive🙁) but they should allow me to get back to what I love dong - my railway modelling! Hope you are well. Carol

Thank you.

@@simplesimon2802 good idea. I am making some new longer shelving soon and you’ve given me a good idea!!

@@Ye_Old_Bats_Craft_Cave just in the process of dismantling my 009 The Harland Light Railway to free up space. I will be doing some videos over the next 3 weeks on what has been going on. But after that there may be a bit of time to do a couple of practical videos. Good idea.

@@alyciamarrison2916 I was fortunate to be able to buy this house 8 months ago knowing I would eventually be able to have a model railway room / crafrtoom. But it has involve making a lot of decisions about what I’m keeping and what’s going. So watch this space. Over the next three weeks I will be making some drastic choices!! Videos will document it!

@@simplesimon2802 thank you. And yes the thought of flying like that would be fun. Happy Christmas. Carol

@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY many thanks and happy Christmas to you and yours too. Lots of fun to be had on your Christmas special too. 🎄🎄

@@brianholmes6574 thank you for your comments. I was really pleased with the way the water came out and the kids and I had fun sourcing items for the harbour. This was an enjoyable build for me as well as for them.

@@Blast2015 ok. I have a selection of buildings on this layout. Some are card kits such as Metcalfe and Superquick, others are repurposed Scaledale Buildings and the rest are scratch built. So no single place. Maybe start looking at second hand buildings on eBay?

@@peternorris6438 many thanks. I really enjoyed making this harbour.

@@Ethenheim thanks Thomas. I’m really pleased with how the water came out.

@@Ye_Old_Bats_Craft_Cave thank you. Definitely one of my favourite areas of my layout.

@@apathtrampledbydeer8446 thank you. The kids grow up but still like to come and use my model railways when they call round!

@@peternorris6438 thank you. This was a favourite build of mine.

@@ReddwarfIV that’s a unique response! Pleased it made you smile!

@CarolFlavinlocoladies Thanks! Funny thing is, I'd considered using the ornament for my model railway (its what made me consider looking). But I chose to send it back for a refund, the resin cast had a lot of problems.

@ I haunted a couple of aquarium shops before jumping in and choosing an eBay one. I’ve used 4 now on different layouts.

I made a snow castle from another aquarium castle. Link here. ua-cam.com/video/_nKBHh4KeL8/v-deo.htmlsi=Q7bqQkaO6uYFFZpB

@CarolFlavinlocoladies Nice! Your snow castle is the same ornament I had. Yours is a better quality casting, it actually has crenellations instead of a melted mess. Mine also came badly painted, but red instead of yellow. On the plus side, a different ornament I bought was the same as the first you showed in this video, and I very much liked that one. It's in my 125l tank.

@@Edlinghamjunction22 thank you. I made it for my grandchildren so it was a very enjoyable activity.

It really is a cheap alternative as the look is created underneath with acrylic paint and I like the control of brushing and applying with spatulas. I’ve had a bad experience with pouring before. And it can be very messy!

@@Ethenheim thank you and I’m pleased you are finding the videos useful. The next one will be on making a harbour.and the one after that on making a white water river.

@@Ye_Old_Bats_Craft_Cave thank you. So much less messy than pouring water which has the potential for leaking!

@@apathtrampledbydeer8446 thank you. It was made for my grandchildren which is different - meant to be more fun than serious. Probably why it has been in so many articles and even on the television!

@@simplesimon2802 thank you. Modelling water can be fun so long as it looks real!!

@@attuslebeard5133 yes that sounds ideal. Cotton wool is just a bit too fluffy and isn’t quite robust enough.

@@CarolFlavinlocoladies That's great thanks for your reply - I'll keep that in mind

@@Ye_Old_Bats_Craft_Cave thank you. You are very kind!

@@mauraking7620 thank you. I really enjoy the scenery side of my railway modelling.
