Excellent. ✔️😀

Great video. I invested in a antax iron with a silicone flex its a godsend compared to my old stiff cabled iron .

good helpful vid must get some of those crocidile clips

Please do not buy lead free solder, because you will struggle. Buy leaded solder, and cored with flux so you dont need external caustic flux. This from an elecreonixs engineer od 40 tears experience

Great video and very easy to understand.

“Knackered” 😂

You need an iron with a temp of 400deg to use lead free solder. Antex iron will not be hot enough. So use lead solder much better.

The picture at 3:28 is gorgeous!!!! 😍

I just came across this video ... Subscribed!!! 👍

There is something very aesthetically pleasing about that junction and watching the trains...

Here's a question... At 3:13 we see a lovely shot of D16/3 E2524 hauling a horse box train, complete with accommodation on the rear. While I consider myself very knowledgeable on the diesel-era I am a novice really with steam and I'm wondering about the E number. I originally thought numbers like that were reserved for departmental locos used as train heating boilers and the like, but apparently not as I can find comments of locos working passenger trains, etc. Did it just mean 'Eastern Region' in a time before renumbering, when I presume the GWR probably had a loco with the same number?

This will be a good watch. Looking forward to it. I'm sure there'd not be too many - it any - objections to you monetising the channel. Why not start with Kofi? People can choose to support you as they see fit.

I like the names of your towns. Sometimes you just gotta get creative.

An excellent study of "proper modelling". Here's a question, which has always left me pondering: I 100% agree with the "if it looks right, then it is right" philosophy. But, many scratchbuilt rolling stock items (there's not a problem with buildings etc) don't "look right" to me. What's your take on this? Thanks

I'm not one for 100% authenticity. In fact, if Rule 1 did not exist, then I would invent it. But it is worth applauding people when they make an effort to be prototypical (as opposed to being critical when they aren't), and getting lamp codes right is great to see. I read somewhere that back in the days of private owner wagons, freight trains didnwell to average 15 mph, excluding the time when they had to stop in order to adjust the manual brakes in order to safely descend a steep gradient. Regarding your class 4 at 8:30, are you running it with no brake van at the rear, as the scenario is the last few white tankers have been picked up en route?

You are creating a world which does not exist any more in so many ways.

Tanks for the lesson, pun intended. Very informative, and appreciated.

Super layout and great scenery.....excellent stuff. Keep up your progress. I'm enjoying your channel. Many thanks.

Hi Barry, I am surprised that it took the magazine so long to find you, they should have done it years ago. I am disappointed the bloke from Hornby is Jonathan - I was flattering myself that it was me and was wondering how you had managed to get your subscribers names edited into the video as it was played! I love the way all the little cameo scenes are coming together. I think there is still more to do in PWay yard - yours is the tidiest I have seen. You also had some very nice distressed looking ex PO wagons in the coal train. I would love to know how you did this Those still running at the end of the 50's had not been repainted for at least 20 years and were pretty tatty by then. Cheers Jonathan

New viewer here - an excellent layout, is there a video of it shown in full? If so, please may I have a link. One thing that really stood out for me is this: 8:50 BR Stations in Colour - that looks remarkably like the approach to Lincoln Central Station as seen from the other side of the High Street level crossing. Is that correct? I think your layout is very interesting with lots to see, well done! Regards, Eric. (I subscribed btw.)

Many thanks for the video, your method of fitting SEEP points is the best yet and I will try and follow it.

My first look at Yarslow! A few things stood out: Most extensive rodding work I think I've seen FPL Rodding - FPL Rodding is essential in mechanical points of course, don't think I've seen another layout with Mechanical FPLs fitted, let alone rodding added! Multiple Signal Boxes - that's one of my big tips for any layout, never seen so many on one layout! There was a Red coloured item in the 4ft near the branch up the incline, was that a Depression Bar? Lovely Ground frame - again more layouts should have them Different Bells for the Signal Boxes 😍😍😍 I can only describe the Signalling in this layout as EXQUISITE!

Very informative video, so much it didn't know about tank wagons every day is a school day as they say, This is one of the things I love about model railway community and UA-cam in general the wealth of knowledge Thank you for sharing keep up the great work Cheers Pete

Really coming together very nicely now. Trinity Square is looking great.

I love it when you come up with these sort of updates, I just find it very interesting and of course will use it on my layout, one day.

This this like two episodes in one week, don’t spoil us, it might be addictive 😂 Absolutely loved this episode, and I’m going to have to look this one up, or find the answer below. Thanks so much for sharing

This is a very interesting subject that caused me to recall the Tianjin explosion in China in 2015. That disaster was partly a result of inadvertently mixing water and calcium carbide. It makes me wonder if even a milk tanker could've been a questionable barrier wagon.

A most informative video covering so much - thank you! 👍 Joseph Crossfield started out as a soap manufacturer and Crosfield Chemicals (Joseph Crosfield & Sons Ltd) invested in the railways. My understanding is these tank wagons carried sodium hydroxide with the livery appearing changing from green to blue in the fifties after which the 'Crosfield' brand ceased to be used by ICI. The RCH specification for volatile Class A liquid tanks was (from 1907 to 1939) a stone body colour with a 6" red band extending right round the body about halfway up the tank. From 1939 aluminim was permiited as a colour although during the war matt grey was accepted. The original 1907 RCH specification for Class B liquids was red oxide. As far as I can ascertain the six-pointed star was introduced in 1913. Not featured are the 'Ronuk' wagons which carried white spirit from Esso at Southampton to their premises at Portslade. Their name still exists as a product brand. Hope this is of interest! 🙂

Hi Barry, Informative and thought provoking as usual. I think the Shell Motor Spirit and the khaki National Benzole (I have similar ones branded Shell BP made by Mainline) wagons are earlier versions of the red solebar highly inflammable type as they both have a red band around the centre of the tank and end stanchions. I am guessing that this red band migrated to the solebar later (in the 50's perhaps). I also vaguely remember reading that the khaki livery dates from Ministry of Defence wagons from WW2 and so could still have running like this in the 50's and early 60's in a highly weathered state. Unfortunately I cannot substantiate these theories. I hope someone else can. Do you know if loaded coal wagons were acceptable as barrier wagons or do the barrier wagons, if loaded, have to be loaded with something inert like stone? Sorry that is more questions than answers, but there must be an expert out there somewhere. Cheers Jon

Love your work.

As always very informative. When did the practice of barrier wagons stop? I have a nice rake of ESSO TTA tankers (in TT:120) they are fitted so I will run them directly behind a loco and no brake van. Layout is set roughly mid 60’s in NE England. 😁

Now that was very interesting, every day is a school day, Thanks

Could you do a bite size bit about headcodes

good stuff

Interesting information. Thanks for sharing.

Disappointed you didn't go for the cheap joke - an MOD low loader with a Sherman Tank on it... most definitely something that goes bang!!

I'm no expert. But I would have thought a benign tank could act as a barrier wagon to a dangerous one. As for National Benzole, that was the company name,and didn't always carry benzole spirit, which was phased out in light of added lead. That's partly why they were renamed National from the early 60s..remember the smurfs!!! The milk tank incidentally tended to always be fully fitted so they could run with passenger trains to get the milk to its destination faster. You wouldn't normally see them amongst 40mph limited un fitted open wagons

Straight in to 'save for later'. Very informative, thank you.

Not what I thought from a first glance at the title 😂 Great video as always, these videos have helped a great deal with sorting out my trains

Lovely layout. Well done for being featured in Hornby magazine.

trinity square starting to ozzze that late 50s early 60s look i hope the quest is not one of dr beeching men in disquise

Great stuff!

Stunning little details. A truly great layout.

Hi, I like how you commented on trying to get that run down terminus feel. Yeah I think your getting there. I especially liked the iron fencing at the platform ends, now that added atmosphere. Your comment about only having 40 odd figures, I can go with, as I think layouts look much better with fewer figures. I mean you have all these trains running round, maybe even moving road vehicles but the people don't move, they never will either, so no point including them, to me. I do like seeing your layout, and hope you do get a piece in the magazine too..............Lovely work, all the very best Dave.

Scenery too clean? I’m afraid I don’t have that problem. Lots of work ahead of me! Excellent video.

You deserved to be recognised thank you for the running session.

Looking very good, lots of detail, even down to the water tap. Though I think you could use some rubbish bins, and maybe fire hydrant marker or two?

Interesting point about “Just looks better” at the engine yard, in that it looks more organised, less busy with the partition wall. I wondered how you were going to mount those bicycle bells, very novel solution. Very exciting news too !!!

Nice work. Great looking layout and trains. Happy Modelling

" I like what I've got" probably the most important thing you said, 😊
