Nice tribute.
Hi from where can I purchase this controller Sir.
cracking stream mate
Nice little video about Owencarrow Viaduct, very informative and RIPto the victims
Tragic. :(
Thanks Mark a lovely piece to remember that terrible tragedy
What a tragic accident. RIP everyone who lost their lives in 1925. You will never be forgotten.
They won't be forgotton.
tragic
Yes it was.
I visited the Donegal Railway Museum during a visit to Co Donegal. Its a comprehensive collection of fascinating items and displays about the narrow gauge railways which served the area in the past. Well worth a visit.
Thank you John
Hello Mark. That's really nice to see. So glad you're chuffed with it as much as all the visitors. Cheers!
Thanks Flymo.
Hi Mark. Museum looks brilliant. Lets hope the youngsters come and see it, get them involved in our hobby ay. Thanks Mark. Thumbs up thumped 👍 ....Pete....
Thanks Pete
thanks that was interesting buddy
Thanks Guys
I enjoy your channel. Where is museum located?
Thank you Peter. The muesum is in Donegal Town Ireland. donegalrailway.com/
Looks brilliant. Good work! Cheers, Andy
Many thanks! Andy
Lovely video and do recommend watching the livestreams... they can be quite a laugh with my awesome bad puns LOL.... No seriously it is a great laugh in general
Thanks Simon
Hi Mark, would love to visit the museum one day, you have created a wonderful display
Thank you Jon
Hi Mark🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤🚂🚃🚃🚃✅
Thank you Elizabeth
Hi Mark, thank you for providing an insight into the Museum, We found it really interesting. All the best, Jon & Hollie.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you Jon
1Great video, Mark! Nice update to show that those who donate do a great service, even if in a small way at times
Thank you Anthony
Wonderful Mark, fair play to you
Thanks Maura
Your a credit to the hobby, best wishes Chris
Thank you Chris very kind of you to say so.
That train in the footage at start of vid looks like what they have in the Ulster Transport Museum in Cultra Co.Down
The Donegal Railcar in Cutra is Railcar 10, I think the one in the footage is Railcar 12 which is in the Foyle Musem
Mark Stay safe, hope your surviving OK Regards Greg
Thank Greg no damage and the power is back.
Is there away to do this with a DC system?
Blocksignalling do one, it will aslo switch a point blocksignalling.co.uk/DC-Products/REV2
@ these are automatic no stoping the trains & hitting a switch?
Wonder if they ship to the US?
@@TheLlanoRider They probaly would but I am sure someone in the US would do something similar
@ not that I know of. I have looked & looked. However I did reach out to the company & they do ship to the US.
Hi Mark. Just checking in and hope all is well with you and your family during this storm. Take care, all the best Jon.
All good here, worst has passed. Waiting for the power to come back.
Glad to hear you're ok. Hope Maura is to as I know she was experiencing bad weather last night during the live.
@jonpinney8537 haven't heard from her yet probably sat in the dark like me.
Thanks
Thank you. Hope it was helpful.
hope you make it through okay
Worst is over now.
Hi Mark, don’t be taking any chances. Stay safe. The other side of Ireland in Bangor has it bad but they’re waiting for this. Everyone is warned to stay at home. We’ll have it tomorrow in Lorraine, NE France, tomorrow. Batten down! Ian
Don't worry I'm not going anywhere today. Sat in by the fire
Don't worry I'm not going anywhere today. Sat in by the fire
@@DonegalDadRail Best plan! I hope there’s not too much damage neither.
As you might know there has been a large storm pummeling the US and for the first time a massive snow storm hit northern Florida. I guess it will be heading your way soon. Stay safe and take cover. This was too early for me.
All good here now, no damage, but as you say, there are more storms on the way.
Wow, Mark! Hopefully the worst has passed, but that is still a danger time. Take care and hopefully no one suffers badly in this!
Thanks Anthony worst has passed. Power will be off for a while.
Hi Mark, stay safe, we will see what our weather is bringing🎉🎉🎉🚂..sorry cannot stay long on Thursday, I also work☕🥵👍🏼
Thanks Elizabeth
You stay safe Mark . Hope your Power comes back soon . it`s a bit rough over here in North Wales my roof tiles are not liking this wind . Then once this storm goes through there`s an other one comming .lol. All sent to try us .
You stay safe too. No idea when the power will be back, say it will be a while.
Howdy mark. Not too bad here in dublin.your power out long?
Power out since 8am will be a while before its back.
@DonegalDadRail I'm sure esb will be trying their best to get you back up
I know they will I can wait. As long as they keep safe
Seems like the worst has passed Kerry.
Still in the middle of it here.
Stay safe Mark 🙏
Thank you you too.
So we know what we've got to look forward to
It is rough.
Hello
Hi did you enjoy the stream?
hahahahaha... very good
The sofa was comfy 🤣
Hi Mark, How do I get on your podcast? I don't own a computer. I just watch all your videos on my phone? I'm really learning a great deal about watching your entire library. I just hope I don't screw it up and get distracted and discouraged. Thank you for your time Sincerely Allan
Here is a link to tonights stream ua-cam.com/users/livefJrIs2iH9vg?feature=share
Mark, Do I need to place any kind of insulation around the switch machine so it can run quietly? and can the switch machine be controlled to move slow to be prototypical? Thank you for your time Sincerely Allan
The motors I use don't need insulation. If you want a slow action lookup tortoise point motors
Hi Mark, You mentioned in this video that you went up seven inches to the next level. How much higher do you think I should go as to going higher than seven inches so if I need to reach the back of the table I shouldn't have to almost crawl to get a car out or worse change a damaged piece of track? Thank you for your time Sincerely Allan
Its really upto you nand the space you have available.
Mark, On 9:12 did you just bent half the nail into the wood so it could hold down the track? You would have to look very carefully right after you ran the ruler on the track and you were about to strike the nail with the bolt. I could be wrong and so I went back several times and sure enough you did. I'm just wondering why you did that? Thank you for your time Sincerely Allan
It does look like that but I think there is a bit of debris there.
Hi Mark, Why don't you use sound board to make the train even quieter? I would say after watching over a thousand videos on How-to build a layout I would say about 95% have used some kind of deadening item to make the layout quieter. Thank you for your time Sincerely Allan
I didn't on this level as it is a storage yard. On the main layout I use 2mm cork.
Hi Mark, When you're countersinking a hole in the wood , would it be a good idea to counersink the wood underneath and match-up the two holes to drive in the nails without splitting the bottom part of the wood? Let me know what you think. Thank you for your time Sincerely Allan
Its counter sinked to fit the head of the screw.
Hi Mark, You know I like very much your intro to the video. Is there a video on UA-cam about the town talking about the train in your town?
Have a look at this one I give a talk at the museum on the history it starts about 15mins in. ua-cam.com/users/livet1_msozG_tY?si=aWuskpSIZwNWF48e
Mark, I've been watching in order but I noticed in your Playlist it looks like you skipped a few times. Did you miss a few episodes or is it just me.
It might have been the videos are not relevant to that playlist.
Hi Mark, I don't know how it looks in your area but as far as I can remember all curb stones at the end of the platform to keep people from standing to close to the end of the platform. In my aera the edge of the platform is painted in yellow for safety reasons. Thank you for your time Sincerely Allan
Usually the edge is white or contrasting paving stone colour. With a yellow safety line back from the edge.
Hi Mark, Nobody but you from all the videos I have seen about lighting have mentioned anything about adding a resistor to protect the LED lights. Now should every LED light weather it's going on a building or street light post have a resistor? Thank you for your time Sincerely Allan
Resistor is adding the reduce the voltage from 12v to 3v, also can be used to reduce the brightness can be wireed in series. Every LED should have its own resitor
Hello Mark, Do you mind if I call you Mark? I'm so glad I saw this video on fencing now I hope I can transfer this information into O-Gauge measurements so I can build my fences. I am so glad I've been watching your videos because it seems to me that so far I'm learning more from your How-to segments of your videos than anybody else and Mark THAT'S THE TRUTH I'm not sugar coating it. I meant what I said. I have a question about the metal fence. Have you thought about using aluminum tubing to make the fence? I just wonder if it would be easier or a little more challenging than the other fences you've built. Well thank you again for the fence videos I Love it. Thank you for your time Sincerely Allan
No problem you can call me Mark, thanks for the kind comments. Might try the aluminium tubing in the future. I do a livestream most Thursdays at 7.30pm UK/Irish time. So if you need a demo of anything pop into the stream.
Hello Sir, I Love this technique I've never seen this before in any other How-to Videos in any scale. Thank you I'm very lousy with math and I no absolutely nothing at all about the metric system so could you at least tell me how I can do this for my layout which is done in O-Gauge? Have you ever built a chain link fence? If so do you have a video of the project? What is the best option of thread I can use to make the fence? I'm loving your videos it's very informative. Thank you for your time Sincerely Allan
Hi Allan O gauge is 7mm to the foot, so for ever 7mm on the layout equals 1 foot on the real thing. The best way to help you model is get a scale ruler www.scalerulers.com/product/300mm-rulex-british-model-railway-scale-ruler/ should be able to get it in most model shops. I have used car body repair mesh for fencing heres a video on it ua-cam.com/video/VtcW2n_uP9k/v-deo.html may not be the right size for your scale. I use normal sewing cotton or fine wire used by florists
