Nicely weathered, looks very realistic. Not long found your videos,I like the look of your layout and scenery. Looking forward to seeing more. All the best for the new year.
PART FITTED OR UNFITTED - THE RULES OF FREIGHT ! Very nice scene, can't say I've seen anyone model water troughs before ! One little criticism. BR era & owned wagons were painted red oxide (brown) to indicate they were Vacuum brake fitted. And Pale Grey to indicate they had nothing more than a Handbrake. As a result all the "Brown" wagons had to be marshalled behind the loco, and any pale grey ones had to be marshalled behind the brown ones. The brown wagons therefore having vacuum brakes, connected up to the locomotive, ensured the locomotive could control at least part of the train. The Grey ones not having train brakes, simply ensured the train would have a restricted maximum speed of 30 or 40mph dependent on the proportion of braked and unbraked wagons. Such trains were known as "Part fitted freight" (Brown with grey behind). "Express freight" all brown wagons. And "Unfitted Freight" all pale grey wagons & limited to 30mph. All of which explains why in the Steam era they seemed to be shunting wagons about, in every stations goods yard ! There being literally thousands of 0-6-0 Tank engines for this sole purpose alone ! Further brown wagons marked XP (Express Passenger) could be marshalled behind the loco of a passenger train, to a maximum of 5 wagons. And any wagons included meant the train was limited to 60mph. So weren't normally seen in passenger express trains, only locals or branch passenger trains. The Freight train "Rule book" was very large & complex. The above info, is just the most visual and important for model railways. There were other complex rules about the positioning of wagons in trains according to what they were carrying. For example you couldn't put a wagon of "Explosives" next to a tank wagon full of "Petroleum Spirit" for obvious reasons !!! One other note. Water troughs were on obviously dead level track. Not the sort of place "Banking engines" would be allowed ! Happy Modelling 😀
@@railwaymechanicalengineer4587 Wow…thanks for the details….noted! Re the troughs I’ve used Dillicar as my inspiration and bankers did (I understand) occasionally run from Oxenholme, up to Greyrigg, through Tebay and up Shap so that’s my get out of jail card!!
@@Tonytrainset Well done, few modellers today seem to have a "Modelling Scenario" for their layout. More need to take a leaf out of your book, by doing a little research, on exactly how "Railways" function OPERATIONALLY. 👍
To be honest (and maybe a bit controversial!!!) I don’t really see the point of the new one? With a bit of work I think the old model still stands up well! That and I’ve got 4 of them!!!
@@Tonytrainset I agree with you, the old version was great, I have 3. The new "ultimate' black 5 is nice looking but they have ruined it with all the junk they added to it. We just need good base models we can detail to suit our own requirements ( that's my controversial view)
Lovely model and nicely filmed. Enjoyed seeing a 'banker' at work; strange thing is I just uploaded a 'banking' video of my model too! ua-cam.com/video/gCZi9U9idQU/v-deo.html
Runs nicely

Got it now!!!!
😁
Trees and weathering look great. What did you use to do these?
@@_RandomPea sea foam and scatter trees and good old powders and dry brushing/ airbrushed weathering!!
@Tonytrainset very nice skills 👍
@@_RandomPea Ta!!
The model looks great.
Did you remove the stupid lamp from the tender or was it just we,l hidden?
@@chrisbaines6931 Nope! this is an old gen black 5 so no lamps!!
