All great tips ! It's these little, helpful tips, gained thru experience, that make this hobby more enjoyable. Thank you sir !

Good tips, some locomotives have plastic wheels, and some operating wagons have special wheels made specifically for them that are plastic.

An idea might be to get a photo from a book or some source that shows a type of train like a goods or mixed goods train or passenger type train to model that train to show the significance of what it was and the area it served. Even the railway yards to make trains could be interesting. Using the loco depot to turn engine and service before going back on another train. If you have a coal stage show how it was built or used to fuel the engines. Example of the past process of the railway industry steam and diesel.

Nice 👍

Any tip's a good tip. Thanks heaps.

I use the electronic cleaner in green can from Jaycar . Spray on cotton cloth and wipe track. Great for wheels as well. I also have a can of air I picked up from Office Works.

Love nsw steam looks very realistic

Nicely detailed locomotive. Excellent low-speed performance! Great looking scenery, as well. Thanks for sharing.

I must say I do like Australian steam even though I’m Canadian you have some very unique classes of steam

Autosol is good for polishing metals if anyone is worried about scratches.

Nice work 👍

Great content. Up here in QLD I have my own challenges and covered this in the first ten of my vids to date since commencing the layout some ….3-4 years ago I have not had to clean it at all even the tracks have only had one clean in the initial run as the top part nears completion and the final drilling goes into place for fiddle years the room will get one more solid clean since construction but for me it’s a biannual tickle with the brush attachment on the Hoover which of course us it’s exhaust sent some 25 m outside to ensure I’m not recycling the same dust particles. It was the plan from the get go sure I could have had a dream three level 20x10m layout in the shed or 35x20m in the attic but the cost and cleaning ensure just build a small room I can control and seal it up never looked back for me the biggest thing is forcing myself to run all locos every 12months to keep them operational hopefully when that fiddle yard is completed, and I can get a bit more of a routine on running the trains on a more bi monthly basis. It should create a bit more usage and enjoyment, and everything should be ticketee-boo. I take my hat off to those people running museum, layouts, and that where the trains just run nonstop every single day I’d love to get one of those digital odometers being pulled behind one of the locomotives on the Whyalla museum layout in SA. Stay safe see you in the next one.

What an excellent video full of great tips and I toyally endorse everything you have said. Cheers Greg

Great tips some I already use . Thanks great video

A good collection of tips there.. cheers from Melb.

I’ve heard bay leaves are excellent for pest control… there’s a few YT videos on formulas, and so many comments saying it works. Worth a try I suppose

The last "surviving" stream locomotive built in NSW, that is ... oddly 5812 the last Eveleigh built engine was also last into service rather than the last Cardiff built locomotive 5813

Are your 38 models from ARM? I purchased one still in the box and saw a review from Sam’s Trains and it was not very good unfortunately… yours look and perform amazingly

The sound file on the 38's seems to be only giving one beat per wheel revolution, also the whistle file sounds very "tinny', this could be caused be 2 things, the quality of the speaker and the volume of the speaker enclosure. Kind Regards. K.B.

Drone like 😮

Ive only just found your chanel!😮 Some of us take a bit longer!! I would like to see how you run your trains. Do you use a timetable or some such to run? Thanks for showing us your set up.😊

Excellent! A very busy yard full of wonderful machines. 👍 Happy modelling

😮

Enjoying all Your content; reviews of books, locos etc. specially liked your DCC knowledge sharing of the 82 class. Little more of that stuff be grate!

I genuinely love the last video you posted. The black and white 1960s double header tour. It was very well put together and didn’t feel like a forceful watch it was actully really relaxing and felt like I had taken a step back in time. But you do what you do best mate and have fun.

A very iteresting chat, just keep doing what you do. I have to say I have a preference for steam. Thanks Greg

I prefer Steam locomotives. I like watching your trains run around. Please don't overlay music tracks! A history of each of your locomotives would be interesting. You could also do more reviews.

Seeing the roundhouse and turntable in action would be nice

Very interesting journey, totally agree with your comments, I had a 40 year break and then found myself living in Perth WA before taking up the hobby again. All the best and keep enjoying.

Congratulations.... and it is great to see another Aussie model train UA-camr doing well. I can only hope to get that far with my channel.

Congratulations guys, you deserve it

I would like to see quad 48's pulling coal or grain trains.

Loved the Garratt model!

A Black & White video is certainly different, but nevertheles still very enjoyable. Cheers Greg

It looked like your right hand on the video. I may be wrong. However I’m sure your Derm would have checked both hands. Good luck. I just had one cut off the back of my hand. 😮

As always - great to see your layout again but it wasn't easy to adjust to the up & down bobbing of your camera at the 2 min mark , otherwise , good attempt at trying to do the "old fashioned" Black & White video effect that I can still recall being the "normal" way that we were in the early 70's , well done.

Loved every minute.

I've enjoyed watching many of videos over the last couple of year's. You have a wonderful layout. Thanks for sharing your model railway.

That brought back memories for me too, only further south in Victoria in the 60s.

Hi Dallas, great videos of the review and running of the Flying Scotsman. As a side note my father drove it twice when it was in Victoria for the bicentennial. We chased and photographed that day. One to remember. On a personal note, having worked in dermatology for many years it looks like you have a squamous cell carcinoma on the back of your right hand. I hope you are having it looked at by a specialist ( Mohs surgeon) we need you guys to be around 😊 for the long term. I just ordered the Trix FS for my layout. Pity it’s not the Gresley A1 version 4472 that toured Australia. But it’s still a mighty fine model. Next, Bernhard.

It will be good when Auscision releases their 90 class, have both running coal trains on a layout

I just bought the same 3813 but it says 3830 and it’s darker and on the front it has a sign that says spirit of progress

You said score of 9 out 10. What was the issue for it not to score 10 out of 10?

Great work Greg love your videos on NSW locomotives. And rolling stock.😊

A very interesting and informative video, and what a great locomotive. Cheers Greg

Good video. Hi from NZ, regards Bernie

Well done Mister Fix it.. Cheers Greg

Thanks, Interesting video. I have the same type of locomotive and yes it has had similar problems. The fitting of the wire on the draw bar was a big step forward but the grease looks interesting. Most of my focus for shorts has been on the front pony truck. I'll have to look at the rear brake as well. cheers Phil

What I do for the joining to the tender is extend that red wire onto the cross member of each bogie this eliminates any problems with contact with the tender to bogie joints. It also solves the problem with some tenders where the bogies can swing 180 after derailing. The other trick I use is, after joining loco and tender, put a small blob of solder on the tender pin so that the tender doesn't disconnect when you rerail the locomotive
