Good morning Oscar it nice when you get a suprise like that very entertaining video
Thanks, Patrick. Glad you enjoyed that.

Taken as a whole, I think your layout is super. You are no doubt aware of the UA-cam posts by sewingman 1. He has a great collection of repainted and neverwazza 3-rail stock + some in original condition. Then again, I have followed the posts of Dublorunner since at least the 1990's, mostly on his own web sight. (He has at least one post on UA-cam - maybe more?). I am nearly 78. Who would have believed, in the early years of the 21st century I would still be running my model (toy?) trains. There's a War of the Worlds reference there! Kindesr regards Christopher.
Good evening Christopher thanks for looking in. Great to hear you've been enjoying seeing the railway in action. Dublorunner have some great information on the website.
All the best.

Excellent upgrade for the Hall and superb treasure in the box. Thank you for an interesting start to my Sunday. David.
Good morning David great to hear you enjoyed the video and the look through the box of terrific items.
Take care.
Oscar
That Hall looks great after your efforts! Don't think I will get one soon, as I have got about 35 locomotives, but only 17 coaches! One of your Hall loco bodies looks as though it has that slightly green waxy look, which appeared roughly late seventies to early eighties. I wish I had thought of combining 2 and 3 rail on a layout. It was because there was only one radius of turnout/points on the 3 rail that I changed to 2 rail about 20 years ago. Now I run locos from 1956 to 2008 vintage on modern Hornby track, with the aid of a bit of fettling of the flanges and frogs! Kindest regards Christopher, from currently sunny West Sussex.
Good morning Oscar, it's Martin from Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Hope you are well, I've just watched your excellent video with your Hall class body swap. That was an excellent job you did on changing the bodies over, well done Oscar. That was very kind of the gentleman to donate those items to you. As I always say, it's a great pleasure to watch your videos on a Sunday. Well it's that time again for my cup of tea and a toasted tea cake. A big thank you again for all your effort and time that you put into your railway and videos Oscar. And I shall be watching again your wonderful video. Keep safe Oscar and have a good week ahead. See you next Sunday. 👍🚂
Good evening Martin thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed seeing the body swap. It was a very generous donation of very useful parts, it's been a great week here, terrific weather for the Northeast.
All the best.

I'm glad the box of goodies is going to be useful. I had a choice, either the skip or donate it! The 'good' track was until 9 months ago set up as a layout and had been stored inside the house for 25 years unused with 'plans' to use it in the future. The future is so unpredictable so that plan never happened and a house move forced the slimming down of plans. The rusty track included track obtained off e-bay as part of those plans but was stored in the garage. Some of the items were originally purchased off e-bay with others being my original 'train set' from around 1960 to around 1970. The Kneller Hall was part of a job lot many years ago from e-bay. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you for helping Oscar out.. I can't think of a more deserving recipient for the box of goodies? We will all get to enjoy seeing them in action again, I'm sure?
Hi, Gamer Druid, thanks again for the very generous donation, it's very much appreciated, excellent bits and pieces which are going to be very useful and the track is terrific with an amazing number of very usable fish plates on some of that rusty track which will come in very handy.
Hope all goes well with the house move.
Take care.
Oscar
@@oscarpaisley You are very welcome. Now not only do the items help you but give enjoyment to myself and others in watching your videos.
Nice little hall of stuff and a great running session, Jersey Bill.
You really don’t need to worry about your videos being too long! Always enjoyable.
I was rather hoping Bristol Castle would get a run! Thanks.
Hi, thanks again for looking in. Great to hear you are enjoyed the videos and seeing the Bristol castle having a bit of a run.
All then best.

What a great video Oscar ,it’s like Christmas came early for you with the goodies in the box .Nice to see one of my favourite tender engines running being the Hall , a real gem .😊Suffolk .
Thanks, Steven. It's a terrific box of goodies and very useful? Great to hear you enjoyed seeing the hall in action.
Oscar
Good morning Oscar. A great video as always. What a great box of goodies to sort through. That new body for the Hall looks great. A very nice running session. Thanks for kicking off Sunday as usual. Roy.
Good morning Roy, thanks again for looking in this morning. Glad you enjoyed watching these locomotives having a run on the railway and the terrific box of goodies.
All the best.

Hi Oscar. I am commenting a little later than usual due to a busy family weekend .
Extremely gratifying for you to acknowledge my donation of the lighting kit ... happy to assist at any time and to see the item in action so as to speak.
Premi

Take care.

Good Morning to you Oscar from Glasgow another great video from you Sir and I've got Albert Hall in BR Green
Good morning Cameron thanks again for looking in great to hear you have the Albert Hall in BR Green in your collection.
Take care.
Oscar
Good video this morning Oscar, always good when you can swap a poor body for a good one, for me personally I dint do many body swaps as it would just make me gather bodies that are likely to not be doing anything, for me if I have a body that isn’t in great condition I will fix it up as best I can, if the paint job isn’t great I would probably either do a full repaint or try to touch up the areas that are not in good condition.
Thanks, David. Glad glad you enjoyed that. it’s always good to be able to re-purpose bits and pieces as you go along.
All the best.
Oscar
Good video on channel thanks for the share of your layout with lots nice locos running on nice track plan lots going on
Hi, thanks for looking in. Great to hear enjoyed seeing railway in action.
Take care.
Oscar
Another great video Oscar good idea on salvaging the fishplates from old track.
Hi, thank you again for looking in. I think those fish plates are gonna be very useful as time moves on.
Take care.
Oscar
Love your videos Oscar regards from Wagga Wagga Australia
Thanks Anthony glad you're enjoying the videos.
Take care.
Oscar
I had Albert Hall and one like the Harry Potter red, but long before, called Lord Westwood both again with the chuff chuff tender.
Look Oscar, I have found the comments down under the previews?
Great video running session at the start...
What a great donation... I'm sure that we will see a lot of that get 'resurrected' onto the layout in the future? little ever stays in the scrap box for long when you have old Tri-ang? It is great that they just "updated" so many items without actually changing some of the parts.. It make repair work much simpler? The R 42 controller was a very essential part of sets in the past? Before the Clippers and transistor controllers came along, one would often see a number of them lined up at the front of a layout? We actually still use some of them.. The refurbished "Kneller Hall" looks good? Great to see a nice nameplate on the replacement body? Your kind donor sounds a bit like me? With items from his original set as well as plans for the future... Sadly for many of us the plans take a long tome to become possible, while we keep going in a smaller fashion?
Hi Robin, great to hear you got access to the comments again, it was a very generous donation to the channel with some really excellent bits and pieces. It's been very fiddly removing the fish plates of the rusty rails but I think they will be very useful.. I think half the fun with the railways is that coming up the plans of what we want to do, very often we don't get around to doing them. But there's a great deal of fun thinking things through just like looking through the old catalogues, which can be a very absorbing pass time, But never thought I'd have two and three Rail running together! anticipated a series 3 railway only after the system 6 was put away.
All the best.
Oscar
Gods Wonderful Railway 😉 Castles & Kings, Brown & Cream Livery, made in Heaven😄 A Lovely Box of Swag and Great Example of Never Chucking anything out, as invariably you need it the day or a week after it went in The Bin. Lovely Machines and Smooth Running. Many Thanks O.P. 👍🏻
Good morning Donni, thanks again for looking in. It's amazing how useful boxes of items like this are, as you point out you never know when you're going to need a bit here and there.
Al the best.
Oscar
Hi Oscar,
As always, nice intro footage with just the right amount of chuff chuff 😀
Great find and refurb on the Kneller Hall. Apart from the usable items, which are a bonus, the spares department has been significantly boosted.
All good stuff 👍👏
Good afternoon Gordon great to hear you enjoyed the footage and it’s always great to have a few more items in the spare box. Thanks for looking in. Hope you’re enjoying the sunshine.
Oscar
The good shed needs some stuff inside and some people woriking inside, to add some life to it.
"Body swap"😰 harvesting parts😱 It's all a bit Freaky Friday Dr Frankenstein😏😁🤣🤣👍👍
There's one type of Great Western engine I don't see on your railway: the GWR Manor Class. Show me a GWR Manor hard at work, and I'll show you how much I truly love her. Looks like Kneller Hall and the Castle engine were having fun, racing against each other. What's not to love about God's Wonderful Railway?
Hello Oscar - @ 3:29 - yep I have the very same Loco as yours - Loco No. 5934 but mine seems to be a bit darker green than yours & has orange stripes over the Boiler body!!! Yep that's a good idea to swap the body's over - that spare body that you got given - is the same condition as mine!!! @ 10:22 I have a similar Carriage but my Carriage no. is M24001!!! Oh that is the same number as the 2nd carriage that you pulled out!!! Also @ 10:41 - I have the same Loco by the looks of it - on your looks like the De-cals are missing - On Mine the Loco No. is 47458 & it is a British Railways with a Red Lion holding a White Wheel surrounded with a White & Red Border - Hope that helps in some way!!! Oh I've just notice - the cog on mine is between the 2 front wheels on mine but is between the 2 middle wheels on yours, & the Motor you can see in your cab but not in mine!!! I hope that I haven't said to much here Oscar!!! 😉😊🚂🚂🚂
Good evening Jimyjames thanks for looking taking the time to watch and comment. Sounds like you locomotive maybe a slightly newer version than the one pictured in the video.
All te best.
Oscar
Hi Oscar, if you keen on selling those Zero 1 chips, I'd been very keen. I got my hands on a brand new Zero 1 controller bought in the 1980s and never used with a hand full of decoders. On the hunt for more.
Hi, thanks for looking in, Great to hear you thinking I'm having a go with a Zero 1, you can contact me at the email address included below.
Take care.

Hello again Oscar, knowing what you know now, which Triang track system would you pick? You have a lot of series three which is very robust, but would you use the later track systems, like System 6?
Hi, thanks again for taking the time to look in, and an interesting question I would have to say Super 4 for me would be the best choice for my collection excluding the Hornby Dublo 3-rail
Take care.
Oscar
