Truly an outstanding masterpiece of a layout. Wow!
Certainly is!
That’s ok, love your work! I agree with your previous news updates. it’s time more companies update the way they deal with preordering! It’s hard not to feel like you may be missed for a big cash outlay. 😮
Might need to get a GM or two for my rail train I'm making
Excellent to hear Rob!
Great video and what a stellar layout by Bob. Should be more than proud
Absolutely!
Sds T class? Any news when they will release? I have a preorder and have tried to contact them. No response?
I reach out to them twice a month, and never get a response. I can usually get some information at exhibitions (one of the reasons I go to so many) But like many others they don’t reply to correspondence for the news! Sorry I can’t be more help!
Hey guys where is the best and most affordable website to buy train sets from..? Please Help me out
I would suggest shopping in store to support local business and it means getting help is easier! If you’re in Melbourne Trainworld or Branchline. Somerset, Orient Express or Junction Models in Adelaide, Woodpecker in Sydney was excellent
What a great layout. Much more interesting than the usual Swiss chocolate box scenery.
It really is!
What chassis is required for the E class body shell, assuming none is included.
Best to get in contact with them! I don’t manufacture it!
Where can I get a R class in HO scale
Trainbuilder have put out expressions of interest for another run of R’s! Best to contact them! Also this was announced in last months news, so be sure to be subscribed so you don’t miss out!
Nice to meet you Will at the show and Uley Junction modeled on Bodmin which is now a preserved railway in real life. At one time the preserved railway served a local industry Fitzgerald Lighting who preferred to ship their products by rail rather than road as they found one good pothole and half the load in a truck was smashed. The preserved line runs from Bodmin General to turn left and run down to Bodmin Parkway station on the west of England mainline or turns right out of Bodmin and runs down to Boscarne Junction the return runs are up steep 1 in 35-40 gradients which is most unusual for a British preserved railway. A stalwart of the line is EX GWR pannier tank 4612. Tim's video channel has a cab ride on both lines.
When are harris sets due does anyone know?
It was announced last month, they have in this half of 2024. Although I have asked Auscision, regularly for any updates but they don’t communicate them with the news. Sorry I can’t be any help!
Thanks for the updates! Any idea when the Auscision CLF / CLP class locos are being released? Its Q3 of 2024 now and still no sign of them!
Thanks Tim! Unfortunately Auscision will not communicate with the channel although they are contacted frequently, to no avail! Sorry I can’t be any help
Amazing model and modelling!! Can’t possibly have been built in 4 years though? Ernie
Bob does some amazing work!
Excellent video Will James
Thank you!
Thank you for another brilliant video Will James
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!

Finally, the S Class is coming!
Certainly an exciting time Stuart!
Very excited for the N scale announcements, especially the RTR stuff from Gopher.
Can't wait!
I visited Korong Vale in 1981, the yard was full of condemmned rolling stock. One boxcar tore in two during a shunting movement. The overbridge from the platform to Scully’s Hotel was demolished before I visited. The staff had moved out of the station building and into the goods shed. When I walked the town, I thought I saw a few twitching curtains. I did ride on wheat trains on both lines but never rode the DERMS, I had also rode on various specials in the early eighties. There were three stations that had two gate wheels in the signal box, they were Korong Vale A East Ballarat and Mordialloc.
Thanks for sharing that Daryl!
When I watched the first episode of model railway news I had my doubts and thought "this is fools errand, there isn't enough going on in the Australian model railway scene to have enough content and you would run out if things within 2 months. And besides who would even want to watch?" But wow do I stand corrected! I look forward to each months edition and they get better each time. N scale SAR redhens and 700 class steamer? Never thought i would see the day, amazing stuff! The hobby is supposed to be dead right?
Thanks for that! Yeah we have a healthy and thriving hobby and I’m glad I can do my bit to boost the community!
@@WillJamesRailways You certainly have. Inspiration leads to motivation!
Will another informative video yet again, full of great info about this wonderful hobby. Kept up the great work
More to come!
nice vid of trains and roll stock train things thanks for the share on channel thanks
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for another very interesting and informative video presentation.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great update especially about the Australian animals been looking for these. Track side models do great quality work I have bought a few items from them buildings, cattle holding pens through to fences worth the money the finished product is excellent
Excellent to hear! Thanks for watching!
Nice news update Will. I recently picked up the new Paul's 3D Prints N class from the Glen Waverley exhibition. Still yet to put it together but will do soon. See you at the showgrounds exhibition.
Sounds great!
THANK YOU BEAUTY DETAIL VIDEO AND SHARE WITH OTHER
You are so welcome!
No motter how detailed we make our layouts we all end up with using those old atlas/tyco telegraph poles :-p
Thanks for watching all the same!
Well i have to get the XPT, the HST was a nice look a like, but have to have the genuine Aussie version
Which one?! Auscision or Gopher models?
@WillJamesRailways I only have a graham farish hst i repainted to xpt red/ black, didn't know there was any others available, but I took along break from the hobby until recently
Nice Video Will, Thanyou for all the infornation. Much Appreciated. Respectfulky ...
My pleasure!
XPT models will be very popular. I'm whispering in the ear of a O Scale modeler I know to do O Scale Red Rattlers. He knows they are hugely popular in HO. The IDR Hopper cars look awesome. Your lucky to do giveaway and have a website away from this nightmare site to pull it off.
I reckon so Leo! Ohh now that would be a sight to see! IDR certainly does some beautiful work!
Hey Will, Did you take note of the locos BEHIND the N scale XPT? Some lovely aboriginal paint schemes perhaps? Do tell mate!
Yeah they’re N scale versions of the NR’s they did last year, however (this has been coved in older editions) they won’t be producing them!
@@WillJamesRailways Oh. Pity that. They looked good. Ida bought a couple. I'm late to the party, as it were. Ta very much mate
well done
Thanks!
I think I’ll keep my eyes out for those Victorian Rail streamliners. Likely to to get hit hard on shipping costs, because USA, but if I had to pick one Australia engine Victoria Streamliner would be it.
Hopefully soon John! Yeah post is only going up here which is disappointing to see!
@@WillJamesRailways Prices over all have gone up here in the USA, that's why my model railway project has been in limbo since 2020, I normally buy model train stuff from Amazon using my Amazon Employee benefit to reduce the price almost 50% but so far on Amazon I'm only seeing USA brands like Bachmann, Lionel and Athearn, and the main UK brand Hornby, but absolutely nothing from Auscision or SDS. Originally I was going to do just a USA themed setup, inspired by the mountainous region of California I live in but I decided later on that doing something multinational could open more creativity.
Brings back some good old day memorys them were the days. Keep up the good works Will.
Thanks, will do!
Just dribbling the same bullshit as the manufacturer
Thanks for your feedback Doug, really helpful and well thought out! Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great day!
Thanks Will, great video and what an inspiration that layout is.
Glad you enjoyed it!
They should do the QR 2470 loco wall art
Certainly send them a message Leo!
Superb! A big thank you.
Glad you liked it!
I sort of fell into the layout. Wonderful achievement and great skill, really enjoyable. Nice music choice too. 😊👍
Thank you very much!
A wonderful video Will! I really like this documentary format and look forward to others. Bob’s work is incredible. I can really see this is a layout you can truly get lost in, looking for hours at the beautiful detail.
Awesome, thank you!
Rippa !
Wonderful layout and excellent video Will.
Many thanks Robert!
cool layout lots of good cam angels keep up the vid you do on channel thanks four the share the vids on your channel
Glad you like them!
Outstanding layout Bob, thanks Will.
Many thanks!
You had me at the thumbnail! But then it went beyond there as the video progressed. This by far has been your best and most enjoyable video to watch, and I hope it does well with views. Thanks Bob as well for opening up your layout to us all, and to Will, good use of the DJI Pocket 3 😜
Thank you mate!
