A steel cooking skew would strong than the wood version.

Ive two of these wee locos may borrow some of your detailing ideas

Thank you, excellent video

I have a DSLR and experienced all the same issues that you mentioned. Yes, I can get great photos with it, especially when I use image stacking software. But getting good video is a PITA. My camera has tracking focus which allows me to "point" at a moving object (say, a loco) to set the focus, and the camera will in theory stay focused on it. But even when that works, pretty much everything else is out of focus. And of course, getting the best results always required a lot of time consuming fiddling with settings, etc. I have a mid-range Oppo camera that takes good photos, but its video is pretty ordinary. So I bought a (then) top of the range Samung S22 phone specifically for its camera qualities. To say that it has changed my model railroad photography would be a massive understatement. I carry in my back pocket whenever I'm running trains or visiting layouts, and it takes me just a few seconds to pull it out and take great photos or shoot excellent video. Its native small aperture provides excellent depth of field and it has multiple lenses which allow me to zoom without software interpolation. The best feature (IMO) is that it has image stabilisation in video mode, so I can walk along with trains as they run around a layout and get video that is sharp and steady. I still use my DSLR when I have the time to fiddle with the settings, etc. and add extra lighting. But for convenience, the S22 is far better. ua-cam.com/video/VHR7N17p5zE/v-deo.html

I think that camera has tracking focus. It memorize an image and try to focus on it while it is moving.

Oh...sold my camera ages back 😂 Doh!

Nice video showing the pros and cons of both. DSLR needs lots of practice just to take photos, pick it up everyday and practice.

I have a Sony dslr too and makes my railway look so much better than my phone.

Great little details 🤩👍🙋‍♂️

the best of a S'L'R camera you can change lenses 24 to 109 or a wide angle lens that is all I use with a canon camera that I have had for 20 years

I like the quality of your Oppo camera. It's quite impressive how it makes great recordings without having to fiddle around with settings A, B and C. Personally, I have been filming my layout on a very good camera but it also needed to retake, experiment etc and honestly, that expensive piece of kit came less and less out of the cupboard... Especially since I have a new lower midrange smartphone (A25) now that can do everything just as good (or even better) without needing an extra me to operate it 😊 I might now just as well sell the camera...

The fact a mid range phone camera can look good, even next to a professional camera is impressive. I suppose learning a camera is just another possible avenue for model railway enthusiasts to explore these days. And if you enjoy it, then more power to you.

Thanks I found that interesting though I’m not techie enough to give any advice!

I used a Canon 200D for years, and now I use a mad exspensive Sony 4K camcorder XD DSLRs are infinatly better than phone cameras though. If you practice with the DSLR, you will find that its far better in general than a phone camera. The auto focus should be far better on the DSLR aswell. Practice makes perfect. Screw about with it in your time off, its great fun! Also I would advice that you absolutley CRANK the video bitrate as high as you possibly can, UA-cam really suffers with low bitrate at 1080p. Which is why I upscaled all my videos to 4K a few years ago, to overcome the god awful compression that youtube puts on everything. Your video editing software should have the option for bitrate or something with a similar name, in the export settings. Crank that number as high as it will go before exporting the video, it will help ENOURMOUSLY!! Have fun!!

Well, well. The YT algorithm suggested your channel. Glad it did. I've subscribed!

Just stumbled across your channel what a cracking layout . Brian

Interesting and creative technique, along with a great not-so-serious attitude! Thanks!

Assuming that you measured and marked the lamp positions first, if not that was some accurate drilling skills 👍

These little locos can be found pre owned So Cheaply that they are Ideal for learning & practicing weathering & detailing - Trojan 1340 is A GWR Saddle Tank on the Avon Railway Near Bristol, and the Model Pug in GWR livery on my Railway Looks Near enough the same imo - I have around 20 Pugs & Holdens in some Very Awesome Liveries amongst my hundred plus Locos all with detailed cabs and crew, and they are Great Fun to Operate with 4 wheel Coaches (which are also detailed), on a compact size layout which is an ideal way for anyone young or old to get into this Fab Hobby.

Details, I love details. I‘m obsessed in details. Subscription is out 🎉

Really enjoyed that, it's the small jobs that you put off that sometimes make the biggest difference..

Nice video. I’m working on detailing bits on Westhaven now. Will appear on the layout in due course.

Enough details make a grand project as well.

sometimes the devil sits in the details they say. About two years ago I bought a 3D printer, and it was worth every Penney, although today I would rather go for a resin type of printer instead of working with PLA filament, the difference sits in better detailing on small scale.. But it's still up to the task, like at the moment I'm building a layout and decided that beehives would look great, so I printed a few. Very fine detailing makes your layout more interesting to look at, even with dead moments when nothing is running, it still gives the viewer entertainment in discovering. I'd like to build in recognizable stories that are recognizable to a lot of people. This could be fictional stories like senes from dad's army for instance, or historical facts, a paper boy announcing the sinking of the Titanic. It all ads up to an interesting layout that's fun to look at……

Really really do like the great western pug loco gwt green suits it 😀😀😀❤

❤

Concerning small details - bottled milk was introduced after the 1st world war, so if it is a 1930s layout, there should be milk crates and not milk churns on the platform! Thanks for uploading.

It's the little details that make a railway come to life

Great update. Love these kind of updates. :)

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

Brill little video sir - still one of my fav channels on youtube 👌😎

Still got the speed bump in the station trackwork then XD We all have at least one eh

It's a delicious locomotive now, well done 👍 I see you are painting with brushes not with airbrush - so am I 😊

Thank you for this fantastic video! I got one of these recently for cheap that wasn't running well. Using your guide I easily got it apart, cleaned and serviced it all up nicely and (minus one issue when I put the little arm/contact things on the springs the wrong way around) its now running beautifully! There's something to be said about how easy these old models are to work on. I wouldn't dare trying to do some of this stuff with the overly complex modern models!

Super stuff man! I love the back story- one of my favourite bits of the hobby

Found your channel by accident, so glad I did, great videos and good to get some tips without costing a fortune on bits and bobs 😁👍

I've watched all of your rebuild videos over the past 2 or 3 days and have thoroughly enjoyed and learnt from them 👍 They've been particularly inspiring, especially your style and warts-n-all presentation. Thank you.

Great video 👍 very interesting and entertaining! New subscriber 🙋‍♂️

Looking forward to the junction of the logging line vering off your back woods branch line.

That banana got you a like

5:21 "If you're struggling to grasp the scale of these mixed measurements that's okay, here's a banana." Me: That bananas not to Scale! 😁

Entertaining and informative, could watch your vids all day 👍

Great Banana!

Do hope you have a proper banan van. Love the railway.

Nice looking layout. The banana helped to clear up any confusion about layout dimensions. Subbed.

Nice work. It all blends in well. Happy Modelling

Really cool. 🌳

Making some great progress

Since we model in 4mm = 1ft, 2mm static grass is 6" tall, so not really a nicely manicured lawn!!

Great job!!!!!!
