Opening up and examining the Scotsman TT train set from Hornby. First impressions....Nice looking set and locomotive, good quality packaging but a shame about the clear defect observes on the model. 'Missing'acceasory bag mentioned in the review was later found loose in the main cardboard packaging tray so that problem was solved.

    How do fix the Kato track to the board? I know each section has two holes underneath to screw it down from under the board but getting the holes in the board accurate enough seems near impossible.

    I have made many Metcalfe card kits for my N scale layout, but first time I have seen these Scalescenes kits where you have to buy your own card and print them out yourself. Not sure if I like that idea but there are a couple of kits that I like that Metcalfe don't have.

    I am also impressed with the Kato products. I am looking at setting up an N gauge layout & purchased the Gaugemaster BR Industrial Freight Starter Train Set GM2000105 for about £110. In that you get the same package but with the addition of a basic small loco & 2 wagons which was great value. I have since got some extra Kato track & a second hand TOMIX JR 98363 4 car powered set. The Tomix loco does the most amazing crawl using the Kato controller & track. Note, the Kato & Tomix couplers are not compatible.

      1mm card is great for the bits you want to be steong enough not to bed. Cereal card is good for medium thickness card. It's worth buying a pack of 1mm greycard to get going with.

    • @gordonwhitlock9697
      @gordonwhitlock9697 4 місяці тому

      Use whatever you can get that is low cost to you. You might have access to some blocks of wood or off cuts, you might have found some thin sheets of ply in a skip, or from a parcel. Machinery shops often buy new machines that come in a ply box. Old realestate signs-they are generally made of Flute-board -waterproof and sturdy. Small sheets of MDF (medium density fibre board) are quite inexpensive from a hardware store. 3mm sheet (1/8 ") is best. Flute board and plywood generally has a texture to the surface, so that will show through paper, if you don't want the texture showing through, use printed card rather than paper-don't use a lot of glue because that softens the card. Corrugated cardboard boxes are not a good idea-they aren't made to last, they have texture and tend to go out of shape after a few months. The best card is used in the art world-backing from framed art work is thick acid free card-buy them for cheap at a second hand store. Of-course you probably know to reuse clear display windows in many products, but also consider using waterproof printer paper-that's plasticky and semi transparent-then you can print the frames on the sheet and light the inside and it will give a pleasing muted internal glow.

    I just love the sloping roof line of the front factory, it really is a great representation of the way buildings were constructed many years ago. Please give yourself a big pat on the back and a nice cup of tea.Well done a fine example of what can be achieved in a small area.

    Hi, just viewed this episode and was wondering if the Mallard running has improved over time, also was Flying Scotsman repaired, and does this run ok, or in a similar manner to the Mallard? regards joe

    • @NgaugeShelfLayouts
      @NgaugeShelfLayouts 8 місяців тому

      I got it repaired fine via the retailer. I ended up selling both of them.....they never did run as smoothly as any of my other locomotives (a mix ofFarish and dapol). For that reason I decided to sell them. I guess the motor areangwment of an axle in the tender driving the locomotive wheels is just not that great and I certainly would not buy another one in that configuration again.

    Paper buildings are a great way to avoid the high cost of most plastic kits, especially those from Walthers. I have the low relief warehouse from Scale Scenes on my backdrop where there wasn't much room next to a siding. Luckily it isn't too European looking (unlike their other buildings) since I'm in Canada and model North American trains. I did add a background image so the warehouse looks like it goes much further back and added interior LEDs and an LED over the door.

    Strongly suggest you look at / try out the polystyrene cutters that look like a soldering iron with a wire tip ( various lengths availability) they are fairly cheap, and no more little white balls all over the place ! Also makes cutting out tunnels etc easy.

    It reminds me of my first Triang set I was given in the 1950s. So nothing new under the sun. Started building an n gauge Although severely site imparted I can heatedly agree Peco track in N gauge is a nightmare. I nearly came to binning the whole thing.

    In N the windows are a nightmare. It seems impossible to me at first but practice means I can now cut them pretty perfectly. A sharp scalpel is required. One of my older videos shows my technique for cutting the windows.
