Your artistic skills are excellent. Colour selection is one of the hardest parts of any artwork and you create so much realism with the colours you chose. Brilliant. I could watch your videos all day. 👍👍
Really like watching your updates, along with Everard Junction it's tempting me to go clear my loft out to make room for a layout. I really like the Class 20.
Great video That's a good idea having a mock up, will save a bit of grief getting it the way you want it to look. I had doubts too regarding acrylic paint, but bought some at Model Rail to try out and after using it earlier tonight, I'm quite happy with the results.
Great video Dave, really enjoyable. Like everyone else i can't wait to see when the TMD is finished. It certainly sounds like you have a really good plan for it. I look forward to your next video. Be well and keep safe, regards Gary.
Great start to the depot build. Looking forward to this series! Those blinds are really nice, I'll have to find a place on my layout for some. Best, John
Dave greetings, tmd is looking really good. Have also been catching up on a few I've missed as ever thanks for sharing, Good to catch up and enjoyed the live chat earlier … cheers … steve :)
Cracking start to the TMD area! I can't wait to see how it all comes together as it's something I might be doing at some point soon! I love the blinds that Scale Model Scenery have produced for you! Justin is so talented and it's amazing how responsive they are to what us modellers want.
Great update. I like the idea of pre-cut MDF hard standings rather than the polyfilla method - a lot cleaner! I will probably get some for my own TMD when I get to that part of my own layout.
The Tamiya paints are very good Like you I preferred enamels then last year my shop began to stock them and I tried some out. They can be sprayed without thinning and cover very well. I am using them more and more. As others have said Peaks ran into your area often so maybe you will get one now you have had a test run. Your fuel tanks look great. Looking forward to this new series very much.
Hi Dave, always a great watch, whatever it is you choose to show us, i could watch it over and over and never get feed up of what you show us. Even that police siren sound [@1:32] sounded real Haha (outside) lol or was it... hey hey! i see what you have done there! confused the flipin’ lot of us lol Huge 👍Thumbs Up 👍
Very nice video .Takes me back to Haymarket TMD in the late 70's early 80's. Recommend a few peaks on the layout they were frequent visitors to Edinburgh Waverely at the head of York to Edinburgh runs especially 45 039. I saw many on shed at Haymarket TMD
Hi Dave Super update, the Tmd is going to be an interesting project, I have tried to justify one on my layout but can't squeeze it in due to lack of space, a stabling points the best I can do. I did a double take when I saw the Peak, big favourite of mine and good runner most of the time. A face lifted version would be more suitable than the split headcode for Dean Park, although the different variants did get around. Nice strapline for Dean Park. Cheers Paul
Looking good Dave. Dont go mad with dirt in the depot. (Especially the inspection pits). They dont actually get dirty (not really) so stick to less is more and it'll look better. Peak looks nice, got a few myself. It's got a lot of bits missing though (detailing project there for someone). You can get quite a few of the missing items from Brian at Shawplan. Looking forward to seeing the next instalment of the depot build. See if I can get any tips or ideas for mine from what you do next.
Ah cool, I will keep that in mind with the grime. A light weathering of the pits then.... noted. I will try. The Peak is just a visitor to the layout. Not mine. Looks ok though! Maybe in need of a re-tool?!
Overall the peaks from Bachmann are pretty good. It's just like every other model out there. The more you look at it, the more you see that's wants adding or adapting.
Amazing Dave, do you ever get anything wrong? I was watching you fit the component pieces down for the Depot base, and every piece fitted perfectly, it just leaved me with my jaw dropped...incredible skills and attention to detail, which brings me to the excellent tag line from 163 Squadron...brilliant!....Can't wait for the next upload....Bob
DaveClass47 🤣🤞🏻. Mate, I know we all say it, but awesome job with the layout. I really wish that I could be building one, maybe one day! Look forward to the TMD coming on...
Darrenbury Central Hi great show. An idea you could put lights in the sides of the inspection pits like they have. Thought you made the building well. Your films make me think also very imformative. Tatty Bi
Hi Dave, Nice update & its looking good, I have two questions please, You say that you don't join the DCC wires back together, I thought they would be in a big loop, Can you show us how they look from start to finish please. & the second one is, I was looking at your layout & I was trying to work out what points you use are they Insulfrog or electrofrog points, I myself want to run DCC so which one is best? all the best from Appleby Linc's
This is a fantastic video I like how you get the trains to run in between each section before you start the next building that is pretty cool the question I had for the first and third building did you say that you use MDF are you saying MDF boards
Fantastic progress dave, you are certainly my inspiration for my layout, I'm in the process of a house move, and will be continuing my layout in the attic there, I have plans for a large TMD and HST serving depot, and will be following your progress intimately, with the hardstandings (i'm a bit deaf) did you get them laser cut or do them yourself, if laser cut can you tell me who dd them please. Keep up the great work. Kevin
Daniel Brooks hi it’s 2mm mdf. You get it at Homecrafts website, £4.99 a sheet. Got hoody from ‘my personalised clothing’ website. I can’t remember exactly the one, but it cost around £30-35!
haha, I don't worry about it. There are always some who cant be pleased. Maybe they have better layouts in their sheds or attics?....maybe they are professional modellers. Who knows. Cheers. Dave
Your artistic skills are excellent. Colour selection is one of the hardest parts of any artwork and you create so much realism with the colours you chose. Brilliant. I could watch your videos all day. 👍👍
Awesome Dave, your scenic work is unbelievable, Cheers
Really like watching your updates, along with Everard Junction it's tempting me to go clear my loft out to make room for a layout. I really like the Class 20.
Excellent description of the work you are doing Dave. Uncomplicated and easy to follow. The start of the TMD looks great. Cheers, Bob
Great video That's a good idea having a mock up, will save a bit of grief getting it the way you want it to look. I had doubts too regarding acrylic paint, but bought some at Model Rail to try out and after using it earlier tonight, I'm quite happy with the results.
Kit building is great, thanks for talking us through latest depot work.
It's looking very good Dave
Super update Dave. Best Wishes, Bob

Great update Dave. Looking forward to seeing this progress.
Well done with the tag line, and TMD going to look great. Kevin

St Michael's Hill Justin takes an idea and makes it work :-)
Great update. I like the idea of pre-cut MDF hard standings rather than the polyfilla method - a lot cleaner! I will probably get some for my own TMD when I get to that part of my own layout.
I am pleased to have been considered. Happy with 2nd place. Thank you :)

Perfect tagline for Dean Park. TMD is going to look good!
Great work, it looks very good 👌

Spot on with the tagline mate :)
Always worth waiting for! Thank you.

Love the peaks they are great locomotives
Extremely realistic. I’d love to see you do the airbrushing. 👍🏼

Excellent video as always 😊
Great weathering on those tanks.
Do like the TMD area I have one of the maintenance sheds in N Gauge, great work do like your videos they are a great help.
Its a visitor...don't own one myself..not yet anyway lol
@@DeanPark They are nice loco's I know 46's ventured into Scotland in the 80's so would fit in nicely... really love that layout though ;)
Looking good Dave.

Already looking forward to next video and watching your Locos running
Another great video.

Top Job mate, that class 20 still needs a pal 🤣
John Bullivant if Bachmann release a decent one with lights... it might have a pal lol
DaveClass47 🤣🤞🏻. Mate, I know we all say it, but awesome job with the layout. I really wish that I could be building one, maybe one day! Look forward to the TMD coming on...
Darrenbury Central Hi great show. An idea you could put lights in the sides of the inspection pits like they have. Thought you made the building well. Your films make me think also very imformative. Tatty Bi
Fantastic~
Excellent video and update on the railway, Dave.
-Thomas
Are you sure that's what you meant to say Thomas!?
The Staffordshire Trainspotter Your model railway must be loads better. 🤣
Who the hell are you to judge?
The Staffordshire Trainspotter You mad? 🤣
I didn't even say my model railway was better in fact, I never even said that I had one so I don't know what your problem is.
Driven by detail is perfect for you. Aren't ladders tall when your climbing them is perfect for me.
Barry.Devon.
Hi Dave, Nice update & its looking good, I have two questions please, You say that you don't join the DCC wires back together, I thought they would be in a big loop, Can you show us how they look from start to finish please. & the second one is, I was looking at your layout & I was trying to work out what points you use are they Insulfrog or electrofrog points, I myself want to run DCC so which one is best? all the best from Appleby Linc's
I probably have missed it in the video, but how thick is the MDF/card for the hard standing?
Awesome. The mdf plates for the hard surface, where do you get them cut (laser?) to custom sizes? Or are they hand cut at home ?
This is a fantastic video I like how you get the trains to run in between each section before you start the next building that is pretty cool the question I had for the first and third building did you say that you use MDF are you saying MDF boards
BALD8BIL I use mdf for the buildings. My baseboard are all birch ply .... hope that’s what you asked?! Lol
Yes it was thanks
I hope my work will look as good as your
Fantastic progress dave, you are certainly my inspiration for my layout, I'm in the process of a house move, and will be continuing my layout in the attic there, I have plans for a large TMD and HST serving depot, and will be following your progress intimately, with the hardstandings (i'm a bit deaf) did you get them laser cut or do them yourself, if laser cut can you tell me who dd them please. Keep up the great work. Kevin
Hi Dave, what do you use to score the lines, just a normal scalpel blade?
Very Nice. Is that HST in the opening scene TTS? Tis good if so. Cheers Jerry
Jerry Allen hi thanks. Yes TTS... sounds ok, rubbish speaker though... will upgrade it at some point :-)
Coming on really well, can't wait for more!
Be honest, how tempted were you to pick 'Stronger for Scotland' lol
Can I ask what thickness is the MDF sheet you've used for the hard standing also what brand or where did you get the blue hoodie from out of interest
Daniel Brooks hi it’s 2mm mdf. You get it at Homecrafts website, £4.99 a sheet.
Got hoody from ‘my personalised clothing’ website. I can’t remember exactly the one, but it cost around £30-35!
amazing video dave, i would love to have a layout like yours keep crushing it
Re: Shorting. Charlie Bishop Chadwick railway had a problem with shorting on diamond crossings and he came up with a novel solution
Are you adding LEDs to the inspection pits?
Gordon Bruce they are already fitted :-)
Too smart by half, ha ha.
Have you any plans to weather your trains? Need a class 303 too.....they were in Edinburgh in the 80s!
What engine shed is this
WHO the hell gave it 4 dislikes???!!!
haha, I don't worry about it. There are always some who cant be pleased. Maybe they have better layouts in their sheds or attics?....maybe they are professional modellers. Who knows. Cheers. Dave
