thank you :)

Thank you my good friend, I am very lucky to be able to have these items, I have embarked on a journey of Japanese myths etc this year with an audiobook about the Yokai and most recently one that started at the beginning with the Elder Kami and their creations Izanami and Izanagi who created (birthed) Japan and the elements etc - I want to understand more culturally about the country and not learn about it purely 1936-45 and through Anime. I feel I can show it the proper respect when running my trains and eventually when I step onto Japanese soil for the very first time :)

It wasn't too bad thank you :) Going to trial a Monday one tonight :)

Yes it was! A lovely sound to hear!

Thank you Pete, sorry I took so long to respond - you are very right of course!

@@ModelTrainOutsider thank you my friend I will never achieve the level of some of the ones I saw!

@@JakeJowett-me8eg no I mentioned in yesterday’s video and the mail call one 🙂

@sakuradensha any I'm yet to watch it lol

well indeed lol :P

it has been a firm favourite to operate since I was a child!

It was a bit like that :) thank you Anthony! Yes the 2 passenger sets are very much the cream of the crop and the one having interior lighting was totally unexpected! :)

😅

@@sakuradensha going on from something today was it the g2 or g2a thats got the wrong fittings for lnwr? (the bachmann model)

@@JakeJowett-me8eg BTW your first message could be more right than you think lol The L&NWR 0-8-0 right All of the ones Bachmann do are incorrect for L&NWR condition non of them had a Belpaire fire box in that era and the chimney and buffers are of an LMS pattern. The easy way if you ignore the lack of round top firebox is to get the chimney and buffers and replace them then just enjoy as a "as close as you can get" or there is the option to cut the firebox out too and replace with a round top along with the correct safety valves etc :)

Thanks Brian very happy with them, it does get a bit crazy these days doesn't it?

Hello good sir, thank you yes, I hope it made some sort of sense! You are very correct in that our toys and that is how I see them alongside models can become very special to us, as you know these represent so much more than just a taste of Japan to me and I guess in a way I have allowed that to influence me more than I perhaps should've but it is also why I understand the importance of keeping somewhere to run them in mind moving forwards :)

Thank you Anthony, I would be if my artistry was up to the task :) Thank you - you too :)

@@JakeJowett-me8eg cool! No doubt something you can use in 009 lol

@@sakuradensha if I change the coupling but I probably wouldn't would look funny behind my quarry hunslets (I've got a model of dorthea now)

@@JakeJowett-me8eg you got the Lancaster wagon?

@@JakeJowett-me8eg thank you

Go on then I have been persuaded!

never failed to excite me this!

very cool!

@@ModelTrainOutsider Yep it was nice to see them run again, I am still just not feeling it in practice but that is all part of finding the next thing that properly resonates with me 🙂 Also one day maybe lol but I feel Major Lennox should answer for that

@@ModelTrainOutsider I did have you in mind for that shot I must admit lol I even had a play with that Lumo, they had a tablet set up with a sign on it saying have a go, so I did! That’s my style sir! I am in total love with that Chinese layout it is amazing! But yes the early American layout was amazing too especially all the different bridge construction styles!

@@ModelRailwayShed thank you I am getting better I think (hope!) hope you are well too Deano! The locos on that layout do look very similar to Japanese steamers but it is actually Northern China (unsurprisingly I am sure another interest of mine lol) and is a joy to behold with big freight trains and banking operations

@@JakeJowett-me8eg tonight old chap 2100z

@@sakuradensha yep sorry auto correct ive got something to say that u missed out on lol

Thank you sir, sorry it took me too long to respond here! Yeah it does and to think I was supposed to start it in 3 days time too. Coal has to feature somewhere and thank you my fine chum for your support and offer of help :) it is super appreciated good sir! I am currently looking at some diesels actually :S LOL

@@JakeJowett-me8eg staying with the current one yes lol now they aren’t that bad lol one loco gets very warm and another doesn’t like more than 2 coaches lol the rest be fine - we will see what happens and where they end up. Don’t worry, you didn’t seem pushy at all 🙂 Actually the Mosquito came home but never left the car and ended up surprise surprise being damaged. I am just pleased to have a gauge now at least TT was a good option of course but OO is just so much safer for me

@@ModelTrainOutsider sorry to hear that the cold still has you, O and UK N yes indeed they are problematic and I cannot honestly say whether I feel that I have post show blues or not, I have been reflecting on it and the catalyst for the crash still comes back to the poor quality of UK N Gauge Steam. lol yes I shall hopefully break the siege of this without needing a no step back lol Thank you sir for your continued friendship and support 🙂

@@JakeJowett-me8eg I will drop a list over if you could be so kind as to let me know where I am sending it? 🙂

@@sakuradensha I would recommend the club sectary you can find his email on the website

@@JakeJowett-me8eg cheers

@@JakeJowett-me8eg very cool!

@@hotdogpilot6319 I felt it important to be as honest as I was so that I can document my ups and downs and hopefully if someone else is in the same situation they can know they are not alone, thank you for watching good sir - the people like yourself are the best part of the hobby 🙂🫡

@@JakeJowett-me8eg it has to be cut off hard, if I was into diesels enough on their own then maybe it would be ok but I am as I know we have spoken about a steam person, it is what I grew up with thanks to our amazing Heritage Railways

I've never heard of the axles melting

@@JakeJowett-me8eg yes half a grand before it has been painted is silly money in my book

@@JakeJowett-me8eg yes very strange - only car in the consist it happened to as well

It is all on the download station I searched JNR and JR, there is a bit to filter through but it is there :) infact this layout is on there too 🙂

@@ModelTrainOutsider thank you Anthony

not the first currently I am afraid, I was warned about this when I had it tested by the N gauge Society so it is a known issue with them - great to find out after you have bought it! lol

Farish do 2 locos one in a set that I have and the other is pending another run 🙂

it is by a reasonably new company Sonic models, the guy who started it though is ex-Graham Farish which makes this issue rather odd
