Truly inspiring, as I love your whimsical layouts as they show so much imagination. This one is amazing as well. Please do not stop posting videos, they are not only encouraging, but heart warming as well. I live in the US and hope to start bring more British train operations to show the diversity of 19th Century steam in Great Britain.
Many thanks for your lovely words, they are very much appreciated, I have many FB railway friends in the US, they build some fantastic layouts, I will definitely start showing more of my normal ( if thats the correct term 😂) layouts on UA-cam as well, all the best Carl
Thanks Steve 👍looks like your checking them all out , i had better start adding some more 🙃seriously your input is very much appreciated , all the best Carl
Great work Carl, you have done a wonderful job in a very short time! I love Welsh railways, when I was over there in 2017 we had a wonderful time riding and photographing trains. One day I hope to build a Welsh slate layout as good as yours, thanks for the inspiration, but it will take me much longer than 3 weeks, still in the early stages building OO9 using the base plan you had on your On30 layout , plus a bit more. You have given me some ideas on the buildings you have used on this Micro Layout, very inspirational! Cheers keep up the great videos. Kind Regards Colin.
Hi Colin, good to hear from you and thank you for your kind words and encouragment, I have seen on FB you have started a new 009 layout (I saw a clip you did on the wiring, very impressed, its a skill I need to work on). The On30 plan you mentioned, I first saw way back, built in 009, it just worked so well, it was at an exhibition from memory in the 80's, I remember watching the reaction of the public they were just mezmerised, I thought I would like to build a layout like that one day, wish I still had that On30 layout, my problem is I keep running out of room, although I do have an idea for a small one as I still have some Bachmann bits in a box somewhere, I cant believe the price some of the bits are achieving on Ebay. Anyway all the best and please please put some clips on UA-cam of your new build if you get the chance. Happy modelling.
Been following your progress on Fb, its great to hear and see how/why its all come together. Amazing work Carl, all done in 3 wks, impressive. All the best. Brian @ The Angels
After visiting Wales and Ffestinog I built an OO9 self contained loop track but not with this skill and detail. It was my first layout and might show it just to meet and talk to folks. So this was perfect to see. It needs more shares and views,, Welsh narrow gauge is a great segment of the hobby and has my favorite people in it. 🧩🧩
I fell very lucky having been bought up in Borth just outside Porthmadog , no health and safety back then you could just walk into the engine sheds, that sealed my love for railways especially narrow gauge, I hope you show your layout and maybe even do a clip for UA-cam I for one would love to see it, Happy modelling and i wish you all the very best
Very nice. I missed this one somehow, needing a bit of visual encouragement to get on my O scale small layout, i really need something to run as the weather gets colder…
Hello David, and many thanks, yes, the buildings and figures are HO, I used 009 peco track, then mainly Bachman narrow gauge buildings and people are a mixture
Hello, yes it is, its from the Bachmann 009 Narrow gauge range , lovely models but rather on the expensive side,I was lucky to pick up a collection of second hand models on our local market stall, all the best Carl
Hi J, yes its all part of the same casting , Scenecraft 44-0102 slate water tower, no longer in production I believe , crazy really as they sold incredibly well they have produced another kit, but not quite so nice in my opinion , all the best

Thanks Tucky

Amazing
Many thanks, it was a fun build
Fantastic - what size building and figures do you use with 009, do you use N guage or HO guage buildings and people?
Hello David, and many thanks, yes, the buildings and figures are HO, I used 009 peco track, then mainly Bachman narrow gauge buildings and people are a mixture
At the 9:40 mark there’s a structure with a green “tank” on top in the video, is that a water tank for the loco? Cheers.
Hello, yes it is, its from the Bachmann 009 Narrow gauge range , lovely models but rather on the expensive side,I was lucky to pick up a collection of second hand models on our local market stall, all the best Carl
@@carlroberts2539 Carl, is that a staircase on its left side of the tank tower? Not part of original kit, but you added? Cheers, J
