Goodford Model Railway
United Kingdom
Приєднався 3 лис 2020
A return to the hobby of Railway modelling after around 20 years has invoked the creation of a fictitious location on the GWR, namely - Goodford. These OO gauge modern image model railway videos feature diesel locomotives and rolling stock mainly from around the year 2020.
After a house move and a dedicated model railway room measuring 20’ x 12' was commandeered in late 2020, Goodford MK3 was created. This was my first experience of a layout this size and many mistakes were realised so in 2023 Goodford MK4 took it’s place and whilst this overcame some of the issues, after 6 months it was clear the operational scope was too limited so in 2024 Goodford MK5 was created. The aim is to “finish” this layout in 1 year! The layouts are all DCC, operated with a Roco Z21 via an iPad with all locos being with DCC sound fitted.
This is purely a hobby and for fun, hope you enjoy the channel!

Goodford Model Railway MK5 - 6. Running Session 1
Переглядів 3,3 тис.4 місяці тому
After spending the first 5 months of 2024 building Goodford MK5, i have managed to get the layout to a stage where producing a running session will hopefully offer viewers some interest and background to watching the trains running by. The layout is a roundy roundy with 4 main lines, a large station with junction, a sweeping curve and around 25 track fiddle yard. The layout is approx 20ftx12ft ...

Further progress update on the model railway build. Since the last video I have ballasted and started doing some of the scenery including the majority of the first scenic break. Although this is a traditional road bridge surrounded by trees, it makes for a good scenic break on this layout, covering all 4 main line tracks. Other progress includes the addition of a cement works and retaining wall...

Goodford Model Railway MK5 - 3. Tracks laid
Переглядів 4,1 тис.7 місяців тому
All the main lower level lines have now been laid and are up and running. The track is all Peco code 75 with electrofrog points and is laid on a 3mm cork bed. The point motors are yet to be installed on the lines outside of the fiddle yard but all tracks are now live and 4 trains can run simultaneously on various routes. The layout looks very plain so it’s hard to see the vision for the final p...

Goodford Model Railway MK4 - 1

The first and only update of this project - Goodford MK4. After much deliberation and pontification i decided to retire Goodford MK3. This layout kept me out of trouble for a couple of years and got close to completion but was never quite right. The dynamics of what it was designed around wasn't in sync with what i get from the model railway hobby. I made several shnages over the period of a ye...
Goodford Model Railway MK3 - 23. Layout Update - Feb 23
Переглядів 4 тис.Рік тому
Big changes at Goodford Model Railway including entirely removing the Depot plus the drop down road which had the faller road system installed. There are times where I regret this decision however I was never happy with what was there so overall it is for the best. There is now more scope for running through the station as well as stopping and leaving passenger services stopped at the station f...

Managed to put all my intermodal wagons behind one Bachmann class 66, specifically GBRF 66783 in Biffa livery. It pulled a total of 22 wagons which made up a reasonable prototypical length rake. Shame it doesn’t fit in my fiddle yard though! Enjoy…

I filmed this a while ago so thought I’d share. A few clips of the Hornby Class 60, specifically 60066, in DB Cargo “Drax Powering Tomorrow” livery pulling 18 TEA tank wagons. The wagons are a mixture of the 100T TEA tanks from Cavalex and Revolution trains. The loco is fitted with an ESU LokSound V5 DCC Sound Decoder with sounds from LegoManBiffo. There was some need to modify the Class 60 cou...

Goodford Model Railway MK3 - 19. Running Session 11
Переглядів 23 тис.2 роки тому
Most of the rolling stock I have collected is centered around what may be seen on the GWR line in South Devon, specifically Dawlish. Whilst Goodford is a fictitious location I thought it would be nice to have a running session with just this stock. There is a couple of twists and unlikely trains to appear however with a little poetic license, most I believe would be seen around the Dawlish area...
