Thanks to the algorithm, your video popped into my feed, and what a pleasure it was to watch. I'm going to complete and IKEA unit shelf build, all a bit daunting. 😮
Love this what a beautiful little layout for the shelf - very inspiring. Off to the hardware to buy a MDF panel for a new layout today in N scale thank you! (new sub today from AUS)
Hi , thanks for the videos, i enjoy the content, miraculously my attempt at the shuttle wiring worked first time! (that's all my luck used up.) I'm very inspired by your and your contemporaries micro / shelf layouts. If only because layouts this size stand a better chance of being finished by me! and as a new modeller i can practice different themes and techniques on each layout (rural / urban etc) i have a question about track i have urban layout in mind and planned with Kato track (your fav!?) but the cost difference between that and 3 lengths of flexitrack is considerable, its (and i have some experience of the joys of FT) but would appreciate your insight, thanks Mark.
Thanks very much for the kind words. Appreciated. Regards the track versus...Flexi track is considerably cheaper than Kato but is quite challenging to lay evenly and symetrically to ensure good running in a micro layout. I built a jig for 'Underwood Tunnel' for its flexi track (there's a video!) and that worked but weren't easy. It all comes down to patience and your enjoyment of different aspects of the hobby I think. Personally I'm not a fan of track laying so Kato really does do it for me. the current layout 'Musgrave Hill' and the ubiquitous 'next' one both utilise Kato track as it's easy, suitable and works well for me. But ALWAYS do you! After all 'RULE#1!' is a code to live by! Best wishes! Jules😁👍🌍🚂
Hi Jules didnt see your reply until i returned from the man cave on sunday (missing lumps of hair and in a bad mood for a sunday evening ) having spent most of the afternoon tinkering / struggling with FT; if i calculate my time at £15 per hour then FT is NOT the saving i smugly thought it would be on Sat morning!! still its all a learning game. i look forward to the next post.Cheers Mark@@smallworldlayouts
update.. after stressful Sunday i v nearly bought £80 of Kato track, i percevered with FT and finally got something sorted last night!! MAJOR success, one more piece to go then we are onto scenics (the joys of no points) Just thought id mention these two channels/videos in particular that use a folded fig 8 loop to create seemingly more than one line in a v small layout space, this way works and (not spam) schmuck804 (its an old vid 13yrs ago but worth scrolling) where are you exhibiting this year? Regards Mark
@@HeadstoneRailway-xs6zz Well what a saga! Look forward to seeing some photos and videos perhaps? As for exhibiting - full calendar here - www.ukulelerocks.co.uk/SWL3/exhibition.html#diary 😁👍🌍🚂
Great layout and use of space. The photo of your grandchild admiring the lit layout is precious. I've noticed that several of the UK people I follow always mention the health and safety gloves when they are using a potentially dangerous tool. Is this just a standing joke, or do you really have to point it out? Anyway, It all looks like it was most enjoyable to create.
@@jimmccorison Thank you for your kind comments. The GranDevil is definitely occasionally photo genic! 'Health and Safety Gloves' is just my own attempt at humour at the expense of the 'Nanny State' we seem to exist in these days. Best wishes, Jules. 😁👍🌍🚂
Always struggle to get the wiring on any layout right, if you could do a video on how to get things going that would be great…. Of if you can point me the right direction to a suitable UA-cam
Ah...right! Well funnily enough in the next week or so I'm about to complete the wiring on my new layout Dongé Farm. So I will be videoing that, but with a little more care in mind to share. That might be a start? Also I like 'layouts4you' (www.layouts4u.net/n-scale-lighting) as a source for good inexpensive lighting. Nano Led's are your friend!😁👍🌍🚂

Thank you very much for the comment! Glad you enjoyed it and good luck with your own endeavours!Jules 😁👍🌍🚂
Beautiful - shorter than The Deerhunter and stands up to re-watching. Really inspirational.
Your film noir segment reminded me of a typical opening scene from the “Inspector Morse” series. Perfect!
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed it! 😁👍🌍🚂

Geoff and Rebecca? Where are Paul and Vicky.
The unlikely pairing were named by the GranDevil who happened to be seeking inspiration from his Thomas collection...thus Rebecca!😂
