Mick, I watched this chuckling to myself over what delight and amazement my departed father would have had with this wonderful layout, the detail, the engineering, the realism. Brilliant!
Very impressive. I also enjoyed your camera work on adjacent track around layout. This is the first time I have seen this technique. Also noticed the Normandy DC3. I enjoy the airplane models also.
Brilliant class 68. modelling skills absolutely top marks, love the freightliner fleet. Layout not bad either good video. Ace modeller i wish he lived next door to me.
Well done one of the best layouts i have come across and full of detail couldn't have done it better if i did it myself i think it is absolutely fantastic
Hi Scott. Thanks for watching and your comment. It's on one of the video's how i do it. I mostly use a Hornby 67 pulling or pushing a 1 plank wagon with the GOPRO on it. Good luck with your layout in in for some exciting times. Mick
I'm not into the modern scene myself but have to say your layout is lovely and the work you've done on the Freightliner is very nice indeed! Rgds, Joachim
Hi Mick great remake of the 68...love the sound profile looks brilliant...I think the bridge upgrade looks far better ...all in another fantastic video....regards Chris
Wow, that is SOME layout! I'm lucky to have a large loft room however before I got the model railway bug most of it was given over to become a cinema room. But if the timing had been right ....
Very interesting layout you have . I do like the slow running of the locomotive of which I think looks excellent in that livery . Going around the layout I noticed you have a fair mixture of different traction on display and some very nice vehicles. Top stuff Andy b
Seriously fantastic layout you have. Looks so good. I had oo gauges layout when I was growing up. The tech on signals and engine sounds has come so much these days. 😃👍👍👍👍
Hello Michael it's Thomas Mcilroy from Chelmsford model railway club hear you have a fantastic layout I love the 68 in freightliner livery it's fantastic I have heard from Hornby is that they are bringing out some new BR class 47 in GBRF livery and much more Take care from Thomas Mcilroy Chelmsford district model railway club member
Congratulations on the subscribers views and comments, Its well deserved, I for one wait in anticipation of each new video.... lost track of all the cups of tea and pieces of cake I've consumed whilst watching your layout. .. Keep em coming they are well appreciated.....Stay safe...
Fabulous running session Mick. Perhaps someone at Freightliner will see that gorgeous 68 and decide they should have some. I don't think my double stacked container trains would make it under your new bridge lol. but it sure looks good. Stay safe. Regards, David.
Hi Mick, hope you’re both well, wow what a video, yet again so glad the views and subs are going up for you mick, love it, liking the 68 respray too looks awesome job, take care mr, and hopefully see you at warley in November if not before, keep safe too
Hello Mark. Yes the channel gone berserk since video76 and the subs well pleased. We are both doing well hope that go's for your family as well. Yes hope to see you at Warley. All the best. Mick
@@michaelsmith-hn1cn hi Mick I keep coming back to this video and want to do my 68 but was thinking in colas rail colours to keep up with the excellent work on this layout cheers Paul
Amazing Video. I enjoyed every minute of it. To modern for me as I am old school, but It is still nice to see what other peoples layout are like. If mind turns out 1/2 as nice as yours I will be pleased. Martin. (Thailand)
Racking my brain as to who you sound like then it came to me Harry rednapp that aside My favourite livery is freightliner and the 68 looks great excellent paint job Hoping to get a class 70 soon in freightliner powerhaul livery off course Enjoyed the video great camera shorts 👍 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃
Hello Tony. Great to see and hear from you. Thanks for the sub I have also subbed to you. You look very well and it looks fantastic where you are. I will keep in touch you and family stay safe. All the best. Mick
Really wish freightliner kept the green and yellow the new livery in orange is absolutely awful. Must say you have done an absolutely amazing job on the 68.
@@michaelsmith-hn1cn Subbed and hit bell, will watch for sure. Incidentally, circumstances and budget mean I just can't get one of these, maybe I could get something a few metres long, but that wouldn't be worth it, so I can enjoy yours until any such time I can join in the fun myself.
Amazing layout. Hate to think what you have spent on it ! Great video. Oh just say you have a steam roundhouse depot. Can you show that sometime please.
Hi Michael well what can I say another cracking video from your layout like your locos not a fan of the freightliner colour but it's your choice of what u like I quite like the class 66 I'll be looking forward to watching this video I sincerely hope your well and keeping safe take care
Hi Paul. I did a overview of the whole layout a short while ago also all of the wagons sorry for being negative.at the moment. I will do another but not just yet. Mick
Michael great lay out. I see you have a Blue Pullman in your stock. Ironic I was watching a UA-cam vid on its history the other night. The changes it went through. I'm from Ireland and have admired more of U.K trains than our own here in this country. I'm a new subscriber and I have noticed your trains are all immaculate. Do you weather any or prefer the prestige look. I can't wait for your next vid. Oh last question. How many trains have you. Rolling stock etc. I wish I was young again. I should have kept up the hobby when I was a kid...best of luck. Stay safe....an Irish fan...
Great comment Dave. I have 2 Pullmans one with the yellow ends, I do have some weathered ie the diesel roofs and a bit of track dirt on under frames. Loco's I have to run is about 260, wagon's 800 and coaches 200 ish. Thanks again. Mick
@@duncanhamilton7919 There is another out there call a Kodak cube, I have not used this but if you go on to Chadwick model railway Charlie has a video of him using this. I hope this helps. Mick
I honestly have to say that this is the most impressive layout I have ever seen. Truly something incredible.

Great layout and locos but its a shame Freightliner has/are changing the livery from green to orange.... get the paint out 😁
Your dead right I don't like the new livery at all. Mick
I wish Freightliner has 68’s.
Hi Harrison. I liked the class 90 in freightliner and thought the 68 would look good to, so I did one. Mick

Will do on the next video but I don't know how well it will come out but we will see.Take care Chris
Love it
Thank you. Mick

@@michaelsmith-hn1cn no worrys mick - all good things come to those that wait - happy modeling
