Rule No.1 - your layout, your rules!
Rule No.2 (Scottish edition) - £7.50 a coach is waaaay better than the thick end of £60! Carry on.
Second hand coaches from the 1970s, so no wonder they are so cheap compared to tge highly detailed coaches of today. You pays your money and takes your pick.
Exactly in agreement with you!
Haha Scottish edition!
Two things I learned:
1) Jago knows his audience very well, or at least the ones in the comments section.
2) He has more than one microphone.
I also noticed that the voice changed from time to time!
Model Railway Rule 1 : It's your train set, do as you will.
Indeed, model railways/railroads should be fun.
Yep. I'd totally go with that, as well.
Absolutely.
No, no, Jago, steam trains were never that small. They're enormous big things that would never fit in your loft. And they didn't run on electricity.
P.S. Do the Glasgow Subway.
🤣🤣🤣
May I please add...
"No no Jago, underground trains were maroon, originally intended for Poland,. ended up operated by the LMS and ran between the first ever deep level stations, James Street and Hamilton Square. Do Headbolt Lane."
Any more?
Well, you *could* have an electrically powered steam loco... 😂😂
@@alanclarke4646 Believe it or not, such a thing actually existed: ua-cam.com/video/pqsuBj40zw8/v-deo.htmlsi=BrTAe1kPrYrEvSjU
A subway in a loft, really?
Jago and the 'Map Men' are (personally) the smoothest UA-camrs at integrating their sponsors.
Jago saying "hekkin chonker" is joyful
"No, no Jago…."
Your plan is more convincing than mine in which the French Island of Noirmoutier was "liberated" by the Royal Navy during the French Revolution and Charette who was leading the Vendéen revolt was made Governor and the Island became British. In the 1840’s the GWR decided the island needed a railway system (there was passenger and goods - salt, potatoes and oysters - so they built a railway. Initially, Brunel sold them the atmospheric system and the line joined the mainland French network via a line laid over the tidal causeway "le Gois" to Fromentine. Obviously this was a maintenance and timetabling nightmare because trains to the mainland could only run at low tide, which was also the only "window" for maintenance. So they abandoned it pretty quickly and built a bridge from the southern tip of the island over to Beauvoir sur Mer. The line was taken over by the SNCF during German occupation in WW2 and returned to the GWR, together with a fair amount of SNCF and Deutsche Reichsbahn locomotives and rolling stock in 1945. Upon nationalization it became part of BR Western Region. Through trains run to the continent and even as far as London via the channel tunnel built by the Great Central in the early 20th century.
So there you have it, I can run what I like, even LNER, LMS, and SR holiday trafic 😂, and I have an excuse for a couple of Kreigsloks en salt, potato, oysters, fish and general goods traffic.
Just need to find a justification for one of those lovely Metropolitan tank engines now. Thinks……
Bursting out laughing over the reenactment of comments and the ‘P.S.’ bits have me WHEEZING 😂
Whoop Whoop! it’s a Friday Jago video!
We now need a second Jago channel tracking the model railway project 🙏🙏🙏
"Tracking": saw what you did there! But yes, I totally agree. May we please have regular update videos on your model railway. Jago?
You mean not to derail the main channel?
Thankyou for signaling that point
You're on the right track
It would be a fantastic place to let off some steam.
Great video, and a beautiful model. An interesting thing to note is that Met No.1/LT L.44 was not originally meant to be preserved. The goal of the Met Tank Appeal Fund was to preserve former Met F Class L.52, an 0-6-2. When the fund was ready to hand over the money to LT they were informed an inspection had revealed cracked frames so L.52 was to be scrapped. The fund was therefore offered L.44 instead. And the rest is history.
Thanks for the extra info. 😁
The LRPS now the Quainton Railway Society did want both if money could be raised but there was only funds for one so we ended up with Met 1 or at least thats what a number of the older volunteers have said in the past. I actively volunteer at the centre Met 1 lives at and we are currently doing a cosmetic overhaul on her :)
OMG, I think you've solved something that's been nagging me for years. I started commuting to school in 1966. Part of the journey from Wembley Park to Baker Street took me past Neasden depot and I remember seeing a very similar steam engine. It disappeared at some stage that I don't remember. This must be the one. Thank you
Ambitous plan - hope that you will post more about it, as you go along👍
Sounds a great model railway project. And Rapido's model is lovely. Remembering rule 1 I think you will really enjoy developing your fictional part of the Metropolitan Network.
Nice to see some model railways back on the channel Jago
At 1 minute 32 I love how the photo is framed .The clouds make it appear that the engine is actually in steam
Love the way you draw the ‘rivet counters’ in with the:
“…but I’m just gonna use these….look fine from a distance…”
And just when they’re about to do the -
typingreallyreallyfasttogetinbeforeanybodyelsecan
-bit.
You pull the pin on the “itsmylayoutandi’lldowhatiwant” -grenade and booom!! Melt - Down.😂😂😂😂
Thanks Jago, excellent to have news of your model railway ! Wishing you all the best for that very enjoyable pursuit ! 😊
Aw in 61, my late father would have been working the next signalbox up at North Kent East Junc... awesome.
Your so-called steam train has a hidden electric motor 🤪. PS, do Acton Main Line.
It's your layout, and hell to anyone who doesn't like it.
You can get blank transfer sheets for use in inkjet printers.
PS do Snaresbrook.
When you're the CEO of the railway, your word is gold. Thank you for more steam ideas for the underground in OO scale. I always looked up at the open air stations and thought of steam. We needed more than powered 1939 units, as beautiful as they are.
When you are your railway's Edward Watkin, George Hudson, or, indeed, Charles Tyson Yerkes Jr., you mean? ;-)
Model train? I bet it doesn't get out of a railyard for less than 10,000 passengers a day. (If you get this, Jago, you're more niche and worldly than I imagined.) 😄
I hope this is a compliment. This is about the only channel whose commercials I watch.
Good choice in locomotive, Sir.
All stations to Verney Junction, please close the doors, thank you. Peep, peep, peep!!!
Now we can look forward to Jago telling us all the history of the different stops on his little railway, the ouroboros line
0:28 Oh this is beautiful! Imagine if you recreated the whole thing at the London Transport Museum
Love this fictional world Jago. Go for it.
In the attic???? Surely it should be in the cellar - or under the floorboards of the lounge at the very least :-)
But seriously, I think youve done a good job with the coaches. They look the part even if they arent historically accurate. Good job.
Somebody did model the tube line that in the 1980s.
@@neiloflongbeck5705
I think I saw an article in a magazine about that years ago.
@@grahvis I saw it in the Railway Modeller, but it may have been published elsewhere.
Beautiful,and as a model bus collector ( have been nearly 30 years) I built a rather large collection of London/London country buses.
Owning a model railway allows us to not only have a scale world where life can be simpler and less stressful but the rules are our own making
Genius, recreate the entire London rail network in your loft, that way you can illustrate all your videos without the need to leave the house!! PS, do Dalston Junction!! 😊
Well done Jago!
I suspect we are all fellow travellers to some degree!
I am modelling in N Gauge, (right little buggers to maintain!) and the only restriction I place upon myself is all my loco's are era specific around the mid to late 1960's, so I can just about squeeze in steam with diesels and a very rare BR blue DMU. But as another person commented, Rule Number One is it's your layout, you run what pleases you!
I have a 1938 stock train on order and I'm going to build a layout model of Archway Station to run it!
Hi Jago, Now that is a Beautiful small engine and a great buy for your future model railway. Enjoy the hobby and like to see more video’s about the Metropolitan line on this channel. Thanks and best regards, Dennis. 👍🏻
Your layout, do what you want to
The only thing I can agree with from your fictional comments section : "Do Croxley Green!"
Sounds like a plan. A chap called Richard (I think...) from Everard Junction may (just may, mind) be able to give you a few useful pointers about model railways...😉 Max
Hello Jago, that is a very nice loco (L44), I’m envious. I too have been spending a bit of the pocket money only mine is on N gauge and German, K Bay Sts Bahn (Royal Bavarian State Rly). A small but beautifully marked 0-8-0 GtL 4/4 tank engine Nr. 2557 in lined (white) and green (Fleishmann 7160012) DC control. It was a bit of a shock how small it is being 2mm/ft as I have been recently getting live steam 7/8”/ft narrow gauge 610mm (2ft) gauge) running 45mm track (LGB). Jago, it’s your railway and the general rule is “ if you like it then that’s ok.” Hopefully we will get to see the Hazzard’s Alternative History of the East London Line. Best wishes from the little Bavarian State in Oxfordshire. 🇩🇪🇬🇧
No, you can never have too many vans!
Looking forward to following your model project. Incidentally, Fyffes banana vans were all destined to Lingfield, where the UK distribution went out from. Regards
Hello again, Mr H. I recall your early work, so I'm well aware of your love of model railways (and craft beer). I'm glad to see you're still a fan.
Hope that you manage to build your dream loft layout and share it with us. And I encourage you to exercise your consitutional right to use Rule 1 as much as you like.
This Rapido model - and your coaches - looks wonderful.
I loved the B0-B0 (Metrovicks) and the brown T-stock with rounded top doors. I always looked out for the Pannier tanks and their small shed at Neasden with the tall chimney of the power house behind.
More for Rule No. 1 -- Have fun.
I had an extensive N-scale model railway but I no longer have the space or budget for it. I am now modeling virtually. This has its advantages and disadvantages but it's still a way to escape from the real world and do as I wish. One of the virtual model railway content-creators made some beautiful models of the metropolitan stock and locomotives. That alone makes it worth the virtual modeling world. Ps. I'm in the US and run them on my US type railways because I can.
Yes, a wonderful gem of a model she is too. I've got mine shuttling up and down my test track pulling a rake of the new Dapol toplights.
Mine does the same with Maroon top lights, close enough when moving!
@@TimHall42 They're a good match. ?Query? Prototypically correct? These coaches worked over Metro U/G lines and I've seen footage showing them hauled by a GW Metro tank outside what I assume is Paddington. Is it possible the loco was substitutes en-route. Well in my version of history that will be the case!
For me 1971 was the year, not only did I see the last working steam train run through platform 3 at London Bridge to run into Cannon St then run out again and after seeing her run down again having been turned on the Borough Market triangle, my father took me into Tooley St signalbox for a tea mumping special as he wasn't paying Traveller's Fare prices even with "SP" or staff prices when over the footbridge was a nirvana to free endless teas and me father was buttering his bread a little because he was hoping for a chair at Tooley St signalbox but alas didn't get one with the closure after the big power box was built. The second event of the year was standing Baker St with the old man to watch LT's Pannier tank run some coaching round and about the place but those were two very iconic memories few would remember today, the London Bridge run was the last time a steam loco could run because of the insane tight pathing that made even more insanely tight in the later 70's to give the Charing Cross side of things more space and capacity as Cannon St side was seen as "second class" in that regard lol
Love this video, thanks Jago. Please please can you have a little model figure Charles Yerkes in one of the carriages plotting to take over the Coldhaven line
If you are happy with it, frankly, who cares what perfectionists think? It's your layout, and you choose the back story for the layout.
I look forward to seeing your layout develop.
Have fun man! I wish I had the space and time to make a model layout. (P.s. don't worry about what other people think. It's your layout- it's a freelance layout- and it should be fun!) I wish you the best on your endeavors and I'll be looking forward to any progress in the future. Cheers man!
Very impressive cab details in your locomotive!!😯
Absolutely incredible video. Growing up my father was really into model railways and we'd go to exhibitions to see them. The concept of the fiddle yard always amused me, or at least, the name did. It's fascinating to see the stories behind these trains' real life counterparts. P.S. do Turnham Green.
The fiddle yard, AKA the rest of the world.
Good shout on the Graham Farish coaches. I also did the same, with their teak versions, replicating earlier Met line (albeit shorter) stock. I made some transfers for them which I printed onto decal paper, happy to share if useful...
Many decades since I had a model railway, it was loosely based on a Great Western branch line, since that was all the rage in 'Railway Modeller' at the time and probably still is, but the beauty of your own railway is that you get to choose how it looks and what runs on it.
No, no, Jago. That was delightful. Do Coulsdon North
Excellent choice Jago! Beautiful loco. I have one myself and she really looks the part. I built a rake of Radley’s dreadnoughts a few years back, which turned out reasonably acceptable, so should look great behind Met 1. I think it is great that some model companies have taken the plunge and made some Underground/London Transport models. The number of people I’ve heard of buying Heljan’s “Sarah Siddons” style electric locos and saying, “well it doesn’t go with anything I’ve got but it looks beautiful” illustrates the point that if you really like a model - get it! It’s your little world that you’re creating and why should someone else’s opinion about the “wrong roof vents” matter? Enjoy! The great thing about the Met 1 model, particularly in the current livery she’s in is that you could literally put anything behind her; BR mk1s, Bulleid because the real loco could end up on a rail tour or heritage railway with anything behind her! Let your imagination and artistic skill run wild. Which I guess is kind of the point! 🤣
Really like your model railway idea, sounds like a great reason to get yourself some industrial tank engines and a J69 on preorder!
If you need Metropolitan/East London Line oddity you need a model of the F stock trains with the oval drivers windows to run on your model railway
Thanks for sharing! One of the best things about creating your own model railway is creating your own lore.
Looking forward to seeing future updates!
My model railway (a Southern Region branch line of the 1950's/60's) has been a great way of de-stressing over the last 6 years. Having a little world of your own is so calming and when you can share it with others a brilliant conversation piece.
Some time in the late 80s there was a Steam on the Met day where they ran a train from Chesham, around the North Curve to Watford and back. One way was hauled by Met 1, the other by Sarah Siddons. So many grabs in one day 🙂
with a model railway you can be Yerkes
Really good to hear about YOUR model railway. Esp the thinking behind your decisions. Carry on...
Good on you. Your layout, your rules!
I seem to have far fewer Middleton Press books than you Jago. I will nod my head to Calbourne tomorrow though, as it shares the same wheel formation as Number 1.
Jago as more than me, but I am always on the look out for a title I don't have from the "London" series of books.
I love this concept! and to echo the comments, your layout, your rules! Model railways are all about the impression of the real thing, much more important than any "realism" - To be artsy, its your interpretation - Your other video's show you know your history which I feel has better helped you to make the choices you have.. makes it more personal to you!
idk if you have one but bachmann did a LT pannier tank from the great western too.. an course you have the electrics co co's from Heljan.. jus ideas to push that London 50's/60's feel!
Hope to see more updates from your layout as you progress!
Bending the rules and warping time is called modellers' licence. My licence is broad enough to explain the presence of all 3 generations of Met electric locos (the one you show at 2.32 is 3rd generation), District box cabs, Southern and LNER electric locos at the same time, in the same place by imagining a direct connection between the East London Line and the Mtropolitan Widened Lines. BTW if you get an attack of the rivet counters, they can be fended off by whispering MFR at them.
You had me at "secret tube line".
No no no, Jago Hazzard (real name or not). This won't do!
You just can't whet our appetites without annoucing you're on a multi episode modelling Quest!
Don't leave us hanging! (please do Peterborough).
Very happy with your model railway plans and quirks! It's very similar to my model railway plan. 😊
@1:31 The well-positioned grey cloud convinced me for a second that his was a photo of a moving train… until the actually moving cars became apparent
Dreadnoughts make me wonder whether I’m listening to Drachinfel videos rather than Jago Hazzard. Maybe a crossover video would be possible? Any Tube lines with a strong connection with naval history?
Funny enough, one of the "Orion"-class battleships, HMS Thunderer, was built in Poplar in 1913; it was the last battleship, and one of the last major warships, to be built on the Thames.
Portsmouth Dockyard once had its own railway with a connection onto the main line at Portsmouth & Southsea, Alas, no underground though!
Your layout, your rules! P.s make a 3D print of Yerkes twiddling his moustache, at Quainton Road..
Fantastic video Jago. Knowledgeable and also had me in stitches. Your layout plan sounds brilliant. 👍🏻
I gotta say, Jago emulating Miles in Transit’s bit of predicting the comments from pedantic train enthusiasts is highly amusing! 🤣
Although I build models of aircraft and some military vehicles . I still appreciate looking at a nice railway layout
Yes, yes, Jago. It's your layout to do with as you wish. P.S. Do Northolt Park!
No no no Jago, Coldhaven's that creepy place on the coast of the back end of nowhere that no one ever seems to come back from.
Distressingly wonderful. Thank you.
I just loved this and want to see more of your railway modeling!
I may have been on a metropolitan coach last weekend. It was running on the Keighley and worth valley railway and had a map of metroland in it (I know very little about old rolling stock so I may be totally wrong)
You are correct
Wait, Coldhaven? As in Michael Spicer's Coldhaven?
Anyway, I've always liked your model railway stuff almost as much as your 1:1 scale real train stuff. I'd love to see more of the layout, and I'm glad you don't take realism super seriously. Personally, I think that takes a good bit of the fun out.
PS. Do Little Upper Chipping Stortford on the Mimms.
Ive got 4 harrow model company dreadnought carriages, but because they are mostly white metal, my L44 won't pull them! I might experiment with more weight in the boiler if there's room!
Best of luck with the Layout!
Your Farish coaches are honestly your best option at the moment. CDC design coaches are good structurally, but the paint jobs are absolutely awful and not worth the high prices. One can only hope someone like Rapido can make us some nice coaches to go with No.1
Funnily enough it was your videos on 009 that first got me to watch your channel.
One always has licence with a model railway layout, I had SR electric suburban stock and The Brighton Belle Pullman running alongside LMR steam hauled. Became a dab hand at making buildings from cornflake packets and Balsa wood along with spraying course sand a dirty grey as ballast adding the odd brown and white streaks. Dad told everyone it was his, they knew he was lying as only on leave about once every 9 to 15 months.
now we need a video about the hidden underground briefly mentioned. Use whatever cover needed to get there.
"Coldhaven?"
Jago, you just invented a _setting._ It sounds like Dracula is back in London during the Interwar period, up to his usual nonsense. An elderly Seward is in no condition to fight him anymore, but another team of international heroes is convened: I'm picturing a beautiful, buxom Scandanavian rural girl who's astonishingly well-read for a farm girl who can bench-press an ox, a young Tommy home on leave, an older German Jewish former army officer now ex-pat who prefers a monarchy to what's going on in Germany, a Brazilian merchant of furs and animals used to long and arduous hunts, an American doctor on the run from the Pinkertons because he had an affair with a wealthy heiress, and the daughter of a lifelong railway engineer who knows more about the rails than _Bradshaw's_ and yearns to work on the railways herself in an age when that's essentially an utter impossibility.
Bonus antagonists: the Pinkerton Agency! Turns out they'll work for anyone, even literal Dracula, if their money is good.
Yoooooo. He's back with the model railway videos.
I just laughed so hard I snortled. 😆
And oh, to have a loft big enough to hold a train layout. *sigh*
I also love models, mainly model buses!
Jago Hazzard model content? Yes please!
As a resident of the afore mentioned Coldhaven, I wish to complain about the rail service I am recieving. The carriages are all wrong, too many wagons, a constant diet of bananas ... (fades off into the distance). Great video, made me laugh.🤣
I look forward to more model railway videos. PS do what the hell you like.
it's nice to what jago is doing when he isent' making video's!
PS love you'r choo choos! 🚂🚃🚃☺👍
Nice one Jago, I too like models, I've been working on mine recently, but mines more engineering based, I've even been working on an idea I've had since a small child (exciting stuff)
One of the nicest aspects of railway modelling is that, within the limits of products available, everyone can do whatever they want (your own talent for kitbashing plays a major role in this).
Well Done Jago - Thank you for sharing your Model Railway 😊 I would be interested to see more of your Model Railway please as your progress your Layout - I do hope it goes well for you 😉🚂🚂🚂
Go for it Jack. It’s a lovely loco and run it with whatever you like. Have fun
Corpsed at PS do Croxley Green. Guess where I live. Great video.
The benefit of having a model train layout is that you CAN do whatever you want, and if someone doesn't like it, well, they can build their own layout. When I was about 10 yo, I had an HO layout with an auto racetrack inside it. My friends and I had a great time racing our sports cars while the trains went by.
Incredible video of your model of the Metropolitan E Class loco Jago 👍👍 I’m hoping to buy one soon and when I do so I’m running the loco with Gresley suburban coaches on my train set layout.
Where is Hobbs End station in relation to Coldhaven?
Jago... your a star 🤣🤣🤣 that comments bit made me spit out my Rosie lea in laughter. Spot on my friend.... now do Croxley Green, Pinner.... and Blake Hall, indeed !! 😂😂😂
I have a friend who is a designer for Rapido. I tell you, they do good work.
