Oh yes, the gates look quite realistic! Great job. Who makes the actual gates and signals you used?

Good show on the gates, Steve! They look fantastic. It's very common for the gates to lower and raise at slightly different times from each other. There is a major road crossing near where I live that has 6 gates - four street and two pedestrian - on each side of the street, for a total of 12 gates at the crossing. All 12 seem to open/close at slightly different rate of speed.

Thanks for the video. Very interesting!

An interesting video, Steve. All above my pay grade, though 😁...cheers James 🙂👍

Great video, Steve. I think you've sold me on at least trying this system out. I have a few locos that I'd like to have as DCC eventually, so when I can afford it, I'll give one a go, probably my GP15-1.

I like the sound of this system. Programming a loco looks a breeze. I'm tempted to get one of these. The only thing I find with using a Pad/Mobile is there is no "feel" when controlling the loco. I have to keep looking at the mobile when operating. I find this awkward, especially when switching. I would use the Tablet to programme the loco, then use my Wifi throttle as normal. I am very impressed with it though.

Nothing is ever straightforward. 😀 The amount of hassle I had trying to fit a PNP Tsunami decoder into a GP40 got me to thinking I should take up Stamp collecting. These decoders seem to fit the bill in terms of wireless remote, without the expense of buying a WiFi control system.

Well done. That speaker looks like they gave you no room for soldering -ugh. I fully anticipate that you will soon be doing human heart transplants.

So I assume it was you that bagged that Union Railroad MP15 off eBay. There were 3 MP15's from the same seller, Conrail (which I got), a Union Railroad and an LTEX. Someone had the LTX while I was thinking about it. He who hesitates looses out on the loco.

Great stuff, cheers Steve. I like the idea of the Blunami decoders - I presume from what you just showed that they will work using conventional DCC control as well. That does look like a fiendishly small space to pack it all in!

Steve, great idea on where to locate the current keeper. Nice job!

Great video! Thanks for the info on these 👍

another corker Steve, great job!

Hi Steve, that looked like a great exhibition with some lovely layouts. I do like Dawn's monochrome, Breif Encounters layout, and I'm sure I spotted a Dylington Custard Company sign on a low relief warehouse on Elbow Lane top left-handcorner at around 21:20..cheers James 👍

A real pleasure to meet you Steve and a massive thankyou for the shout out. If Saturday is anything to go by Sunday will be another amazing day. Amazing videos and amazing layout project on your hands so keep up the great work. 👍👍Martin B

Nice layouts. I'll be subscribing to Geeksville.

Very nice my Friend new sub and Bell looking Forward to More. Frank From Canada.😊👍👍

Hi Steve, we've enjoyed that little bit of fun with the LEGO train. Hopefully, Dylan has a new video coming soon. Enjoy your day out at the exhibition....cheers James 🙂👍

That's a hard couple at 4:40, mate...you'll have some explaining to do to the road foreman!

Nothing more relaxing than watching trains run!

80's.......1880's? 😂😂

Nice music as well.

Much much better 😊

It amazes me how stay alives had kind of become the next "big" thing. Whats more amazing are the comments people make about them "not lasting and my lico wont move very far when taken off the track" Your right, they are only meant to keep power for a few seconds. People don't seem to understand that.

Well done! You know your way around a soldering iron.

Interesting video, Steve. It's all a little bit too technical for us guys in Dylington, though ...cheers James 🙂👍

Excellent description of the 3 types.!

Very helpful Steve, and the first one I’ve viewed to include the William Tell Overture! 😂

Thanks for the Advert Steve, Appriciated

Say hello to Dan, Barry and Martin of Royston Club who are exhibiting Geeksville, a UP layout at Shoeburyness show. Barry is the 3D printing man who has done a lot of trash cans etc for our layout.

Excellent Steve from Virginia USA

Having built a small N GAUGE Inglenook layout (3' x 6") for an exhibtion I found that my class 08 shunter was forever stalling on the unifrog turnouts. Having watched your video I had that eureka moment. Bought three Gaugemaster frog juicers and now all I have to do is fit them. Simples!! Well I hope so!!!! Thanks for the tutorial.

a lovely wholesome video Steve! My memories are of the Woolworths Night Mail set they did with Hornby and still invokes those memories now, and although the loco has been upgraded to a Bachmann version, the coaches have been toached up, painted a bit and weathered and still invokes that memory now!

Next year! 😃

I hope you enjoy the show, Steve. It's a little bit too far for us, but hopefully, you'll get some footage to share... Cheers James 🙂👍

Simple pleasures. My first train set was the Triang Freight master set. A Class 31, although I didn't know that at the time, two container flats and a working overhead crane. My Dad put it on a board for me. Plated with it for hours! 😃

Steve.......if you send me your address I'll send you a frame to put your wedding photo on the shelf in lol. But I do like your forward thinking in that the dining room walls are already painted sky blue 😂

For Christmas one year in the very early 1960s my father built me a 4'x8' Lionel layout complete with postwar rolling stock and locomotives, Plasticville buildings, a passing siding and one industry siding. Ran the wheels off those trains as my father was building a larger HO scale layout from a Model Railroader plan right next to mine. The Lionel set was replaced by HO scale racing cars and by now most of it has been sold off. But I do have my two favorite boxcars from my Dad's original 1962 Athearn HO scale set on my current in-progress switching layout. Thanks for igniting the memories.

Well, that was a surprisingly enjoyable video, Steve. In fact, believe it or not, that's probably a similar size to Dylington, and we always just play trains ... Cheers James 🙂👍

It's nice to just run trains at times, isn't it? After ordering it three years ago, Atlas is finally shipping it's new RS-1 in LIRR livery.

I still have my original Hornby train set, one of the early two rail, I think it was Christmas 1962. The loco still runs but tends to waddle along. It gave me a passion for the hobby early on, and I started buying my own locos and stuff in my teens, after we moved to the US (1963-1973). Had a Tyco (red box) NYC GP20. Tyco made good detailed models then, before they got bought out by some toy company. The GP20 still runs, and can pull an awesome number of freight cars. a bit noisy, but I think it always was. Now back in the hobby after several decades hiatus. Still modelling NYC but now also NYOW and CP.

Interesting video, and thanks for the shoutout. To me there is no greater compliment to a prototype model railroader than to see a scene and say “I know where that is.”

Nicely explained, Steve, and I think that you know which area Dylington falls into 😁 ... Cheers James 🙂👍

Great video, Steve. Prototype modelling may be the easiest to explain, but in my opinion, it is the HARDEST to model. I model closer to prototype because my railroads, my operations and my locations all follow the prototype. But I found it much easier to not try and match every structure (key street overpass and a few key structures notwithstanding). But I'd consider myself a proto freelancer based on this. I think there is a lot of gray area in between. It will be a debate here in the states for years to come.

So basically, Recall is like the memory setting for radio stations on your car's sound system 👍

Great update. That is going to be a nice scene.

Looking good! Thanks for the update!

The school looks good. Blends in very well.

20 pounds? The book isn't that heavy! :)~

Great update Steve.The school is looking great, we're looking forward to seeing your progress with it. The diner will make a great feature once you've added the interior and lights...cheers James 🙂👍
