Cracking work I wish I could nail those scenes on my channel and those trees where did you nab them from. Cheers. Keep it coming and stay safe.
Fantastic video mate
Great update Nicholas. love those wagons. i was just going to say that they have just come out of the factory. and you said that you are going to weather them. you took the words right out of the comment. great stuff cheer's Tony.
great vid on channel keep up the great vids great update vid thanks for share
Great video Nicholas, fantastic job on your passenger carriages.
Great stuff, keep up the fantastic work!
Are You going to try and get a SDS k class?
Probably not at this stage. I will be getting the new SDS T class when that comes out.
Nice work Nicholas, looking good! 👍
Thanks Richard. Not long to go now before it's finished.
Great video, think I saw myself!
Nice coloring of the steam locomotive. I thought they'd be red, but the blue color is good. I love the speeds and video.
It's the PRINCE'S freeway, no princess is involved! Why does this misnaming always happen?
Well done. Thanks for sharing. I have HO Marklin railway. Got some good ideas from the displays. Thanks Nicholas. Philip in New Zealand.
Fantastic video
great vid thanks lee
Nice production, Thanks Nicholas.
great vlog thanks lee
Thanks Lee.
Hi Nicholas awesome video I have one of the new T classes from powerline as well, the reason why the T struggles to run properly when cold is because the pick ups on the bogies are not touching the wheels they are just floating so if you use a couple of flat head precision screwdrivers on the pick ups bending them down to then touch the wheels you will find that the T class will run perfectly with no issue.
Thanks Corey glad you enjoyed the review. I'll have to give your idea a go. Thanks for the suggestion.
Awesome video as always mate. I was going to go but stuff got in the way at the last minute. I also like the VR T class you got. I am looking forward to seeing it run. Oh, and i was going to ask. Is the AMRA open tomorrow? I was planning on coming to your club.
Thanks Jai. It was a great little exhibition. I have run the new T class on my layout and it runs very good and I'll also be taking it to the club as well. And yes AMRA club rooms are open tomorrow for the Australian DCC session from 1pm to 5pm. I'll be there as well.
Ok great i might bring a couple of my DCC locos and some wagons. Thanks man I'll see you there (:
@@jaistorey6839 no worries. I’m guessing you have now become a member? And also bring $4 in cash to pay for your session.
@@NicholassTrainChannel No I'm not a member yet. but I'm working on it and thanks for letting me know. I'll bring $4 to (:
@@jaistorey6839 Normally members can’t run trains but just check with whoever’s running the session if it’s ok for you to run trains and provided you have $4 it should be okay. But just tell the person running the session your working on your membership and if you bring $4 it should be ok. Or just finish your membership application before you go.
Absolutely fantastic video mate well done
Thanks James. Glad you enjoyed it.
great vid on train show thanks four share thanks lee
Glad you enjoyed it Lee. Cheers for watching.
I loved 7 and 11, so inventive, authentic, and detailed. Little slice of middle England and Wales.
Thanks mate. The UK themed layouts at the exhibition were fantastic especially the Genesis layout had to be my favourite out of the entire show.
Second time I see Genesis and it still facinates me. An amazing layout. The G scale by AMRA-VIC is also very nicely put together showing how a garden scale layout can be cobbled up together is a small space and provide s lot of fun with shunting and changing running trains. Fern is a fun switching layout and so much fun in a small space .Slate Valley, Cinnamon Port, Whitefish Bay are all showing fantastic modelling skill. Y Slobs Braster Rheilfford Gul , I can even pronounce the name - I don't speak Welsh, is beautiful and being modular will probably be expanded in the coming years. had an enjoyable afternoon.
Thankyou Genesis was by far my favourite from the show the amount of detail put into that layout is just fantastic. Layouts like Slate Valley, Cinnamon port and White fish bay are great as they show what can be done in a small space. I can't wait to see more modules added to the Y Slobs Braster Rheilfford Gul layout as it shows that the FreeM009 concept works well. This is an exhibition I'll be attending more often I recon.
Absolutely fantastic video mate well done
The theming on this club layout is great. Nice and diverse. I can see English and American things there in addition to Australian. Australia, America and England all in one that's exactly what I want to do with my home layout as far as theming. Looks like Auscision will be releasing a model next month that I've been eagerly anticipating. Their CL Class models. I would've started on that home layout project already if I hadn't been driven out of my home by the latest round of California wildfires a month ago. Heck I was literally going to start laying down the track the day that the fire was started (intentionally started by a crazy arsonist, that's what really gets under my skin), so instead I ended up boxing up my trains, among other things and monitoring the situation, so when I ended up leaving, I brought all my trains with me so they're safe.
In the southern NSW town of Griffith there's a old plane mounted on a high support in the main street. The propeller even rotates when the wind blows.
You could watch thunder mesa rail road for inspiration
Absolutely fantastic video
Thanks James glad you enjoyed it.
Great to see Nicholas, the bug has certainly taken hold! Well done 👍
Thanks Richard. I don't think I'll ever stop doing model railways.
great vid running trains thanks for the share on channel thanks lee
Glad you enjoyed the running session. I hope to do more running session videos.
great vlog on channel thanks for the share on channel
Thanks Lee. Glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome video Nicholas. It was nice talking to you there. It was a lot of fun there and great purchases too. But i was shocked when i saw the price on one of the wagons. But as you sed it was brass and rare. But i don't think i still would pay that much for a wagon. But it does looks nice.
Thanks Jai it was nice to catch up with you again. I will be honest I was kind of 50/50 as to if I should buy the wagon or not but I'm glad I did now that I know how difficult they are to get a hold of.
Nice production Nicholas.
Thankyou glad you enjoyed the video. I had a great time at the open day.
Fantastic video mate well done and well presented
Thanks James Glad you enjoyed it. I certainly enjoyed going out and filming it all.
Great work, scenery works take time to complete. Mike HO from Bairnsdale.
Thanks Mike. Scenery definitely does take time to get looking good. Thanks for watching.
Neat work Nicholas, going to look great. Funny, I thinking when you originally mentioned a retaining wall, that concrete was another option! Plenty of examples around the burbs for you to study 🙂
Thanks Richard. I'm looking forward to completing the hillside. I have had a think about the retaining wall lately and I decided I will go with a concrete one as I have never done a concrete retaining wall before on the layout even on previous layouts. I'll no doubt do some research to see what style I like the best.
Great video on channel keep up the great work nice hill side thanks for the share on channel concrete is cool look forward to the next video on channel
Thanks Lee. I'm looking forward to getting the hillside complete which will be in another video.
I'm curious how'd you get the Kadee Knuckle Couplers on it? I'm looking at my Lima B-Class and the default coupler looks completely foreign to me.
Look great Nicholas!
Thanks Richard.
that looks nice keep up the great vlogs and wor thanks for share thanks lee
Thanks Lee. Oscar did an amazing job weathering these for me.
They do look neat Nicholas, very realistic. thank you for sharing. all the best Tony.
Cheers Tony. The person who weathered these for me did an awesome job.
Nice video mate
Thanks Nicholas, just like being there.
Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks For showing video of our layout Cheakamus Canyon.
No worries at all Roger it was great to see it again.
Great video of train show nice though things you for the shareing your videos you do thanks lee
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks as always for watching.
Fantastic video Nicholas. It was a great train show. My favorite layout was the Dungog layout.
Thanks Jai. This was a great exhibition to attend. I agree Dungog was a very nice layout.
I really do want to get down to Australia to visit one of these exhibitions at some point in future. Because I live in the USA I’m concerned about international shipping costs when it comes to buying authentic Australian model railway stuff. Just as my grandfather personally hand carried authentic German model train stuff back to America long ago I’d be more than willing to do it with Australian stuff. AU is already in my top 3 of countries overseas I want to see as it is.
Thanks mate. there are quite a lot of exhibitions that happen in Australia each year. I have only been to exhibitions in Melbourne but I would love to attend some in other states as well. I would love to see what exhibitions in the USA are like. As for importing things it would be the same for me if I was to import a model from the USA to AUS.
Great video of you at the train show nice layout and things you got keep up the great vlogs you do on channel thanks lee
Thanks Lee. It was a great exhibition to attend and there was some great stuff for sale too.
