I'm loving this ... really appreciate all the trouble you have gone through to document the modelling..I'm up for a 009 build have done a table top model for my grand children, which I've uploaded to you tube ."Miniature model railway portable on antique" I've room in the spare bedroom, so natural light a radiator..easy access.. I'm rubbish at electrics but I'm going to do a DCC as I think train sounds bring it alive.. background country bird song also would be great with a blue tooth speaker...Love the look of your slate rock and the tunnel mouth in slate..very clever...thank you..look forward to the next..
sounds great, DCC is certainly the way forward, I've built this layout with isolated sections, but if do another OO9 (and as I have one in mind already there's a good chance I will) I'm also going to go DCC I think. I think Gaugemaster do some sort of sound box for background noises, I'm certain that's what was on the layout Little Burford when I saw it at a model show and it was really effective.
@@WesternSignalman Thank you for your reply, there are some wonderful sounds of the countryside on you tube, that can be played on a hidden blue tooth speaker.." without adverts". I'm s complete novice regarding DCC ..but can see grand children and myself would love it..Having had a railway with my brother some 50 years ago it's always been a huge attractive to me. . Especially as s winter hobby.. 009 is an excellent medium for a circular layout and not taking up to much room..my late brother and I had a circular layout, and were mesmerised..Love your design offers a great deal of interest for a smaller size..However it's all a little like gardening a small garden with a lot of interest is far better than a acre field
@@muddymarvellous I think that is the advantage of OO9 it can be built in a similar size to N gauge layout but still modelling in OO. I think your spot on in regards to size I've been able to keep my interest up on this layout as I can keep moving onto something new, which is why my larger layout has probably ground to a halt as after a couple of months of track laying and wiring I got a bit bored and took a break from it.
Hi just found your channel and subscribed. Really enjoyed this and your 3 other videos on the 009 build. Really nice compact layout and interesting to see some of your techniques of which I am building similar on my N gauge layout. Looking forward to episode 5! Cheers Gary
Just reread my comment that should have said interesting and informative. I found your channel the other week and subscribed, there’s some great videos there.
Hello from Melbourne, Australia. I have just found your channel and am really enjoying the OO9 layout build. Starting my own OO9 layout so will be making good use of all the techniques you have shown. Your videos are also very well done. Looking forward to the next episode.
Maybe the bachmann scenecraft tabernacle might of suited the landscape better, also stood out as it's green, but well done. I found your channel by chance on episode 4 so went to the first, & it been great, especially seeing all the problems you've had, well done.
Thank you very much. I must admit I’m a sucker for kit building rather than ready to plant but I see your point. When some scatters are on I think the church will stand out a little better. I had researched churches around north Wales and found an article about one of the oldest in the country which I used as a basis for adapting my church.
This is currently my favourite layout building series. I’m planning on building a modular layout of the Ashover Light Railway using an end-to-end format. What controller would you recommend for a layout like mine?
Thank you very much I’m glad your enjoying the build. Will your layout be DCC or analogue? I’m currently using a standard fleishmann analogue controller for this layout which has the advantage of a 14v output for the point motors. My larger layout is DCC and I’m currently using a Bachmann dynamos ultima which I would throughly recommend not to buy it’s a terrible price of kit, so I’m still trying to find the ideal controller for that layout myself.
@@WesternSignalman I’m thinking analogue, as I doubt many of my locos are DCC compatible. Does the Fleischmann controller have multiple panels, so I can operate sections of my layout separately? I know gaugemaster controllers come in varying sizes which may be useful.
@@Living_Life_RN no the controller is just a bog standard from a train set. I have built 4 isolating sections into the layout to control the trains off one controller. I do have a dual gauge master controller and it is a very good controller, something like that would be perfect for you I’d imagine.
Thanks Steve, it all depends on your budget for this layout i used standard peco solenoid point motors. But if your going dcc I would suggest the cobalt digital IP point motors I used these on my OO gauge layout, they are very easy to instal and program . If you look for underground Eric he did a really informative video on installing these points ua-cam.com/video/4hpMVFynnfI/v-deo.html
Enjoying you video, but maybe you could attenuate the music a bit as I have to keep turning the TV up to hear what you are saying and then down when the music plays. Rocks look awesome though!
Ta very much. I’ve had this issue with the music before, on the computer the levels are fine but when I post something it seems to put it out of balance. I probably need to look into different editing software.
@@WesternSignalman Thinking about it, it may be how UA-cam normalises the audio after you upload. I have noticed it with a few accounts I follow. So it may be out of your control?
Nice upload today. Thanks for sharing.
No problem
@@WesternSignalman Thanks very much for replying to my comment.Have a Great Christmas see you in the New year. Take Care & Stay Safe.
@@medwaymodelrailway7129no worries, have a great Christmas too.
Really enjoyed this, keep up the great work! regards Richard
Thanks Richard glad you’ve enjoyed the video, I’m taking a Christmas break but hoping to get back in the layout next week. James
The slate cliff face is really really good. Glad the golden arches stirer came to the rescue. Back tomorrow for the next instalment. Can't wait
Thank you glad your enjoying the series
Would have never thought of seeing a Deftones shirt in a model railway tutorial!😂 you're doing an excellent job there wow!!
Thank you, nicely spotted, although I have been avoiding my slipknot shirts when filming I think that might put people off the channel 😂
Happy New Year. Just found your channel. Nice work on the tunnel portals.
And too you Mike, thanks for the comment 😃
Great commitment to the modeling cause, eating all those Roses just so you could use sculptamould. 😉 The slate has come out great by the look of it. 👍
you know me mate don't want to see good chocolate go to waste.

Awsum video 🚂❤️👍👍👍👍
Thanks very much
Hi the layout is really progressing well now, where would us modellers be without Mac's coffe stirrers.
cheers Steve, they are a godsend aren't they

Great work ! I have just started my first dcc 009 layout. What point motors do you suggest using for peco code 80 points and a y switch?

What is the size of the base board please?
1 metre by 75cm
What’s the name of that moulding mixture?
In the riverbed I just used sculptamold
