I always watch your videos with interest and I must say that it was fantastic to watch all five tracks running, as for the guy that walks on by well so what and good bye…G
Thanks very much. I don’t actually have a track plan. I did try designing one on Anyrail which I thought looked fine but once I started laying the track it just didn’t look right. I knew I wanted 2 levels with a mainline station. I planned the station first and built the layout out from it 👍
I think your Layout is really superb, and without doubt along with Mouldy Raspberry are the best on UA-cam, beautiful modelling with wonderful attention to detail, I don't know how to advise you on the derelict Buildings but whatever you decide will look great, best wishes, Colin.
It's your railway, so do whatever makes you happy. Rapido Trains has embraced the freelancer by creating an ever-growing line of ROLX rolling stock. They call it the Railroad of Lies for all the guys with their own fictitious railway. It began as a joke, which Rapido is wont to do, but it's a really fun idea. I like it, anyway. Thanks for posting updates on your "Railway of Lies".
Morning Andy, I wouldn't worry about the build up joins at the base of the derelict buildings. All sorts of scrap and bushes will be dumped and grow around there which will hide any join. I would leave all the derelict buildings together in that area because they have been abandoned because the railway has made them inaccessible. The farmer has been paid a handsome sum by the railway company 🙂 Brian
Hi Andy , just a quick message to say thanks for what you did in you're video saying my partners son Thomas. He is over the moon a out having his name mentioned. He thinks that me and him are famous now lol. Once again thanks fir what you did . Regards Graham Davis. I wish my layout was as good as yours
Great work..... Keep the farm buildings in the same paddock. I like them all close to the bottom end of the paddock. In line the buildings will offer a mid-scene break. Try the orchard in that flat paddock across the lines.
Hi Andy. Great job buddy. Wish I could make my static grass stand up like yours. Good decision with the fence rather than the wall. Great update Andy. Shame your not going to GETS. Thumbs up thumped 👍 .... Pete....
The layout continues to grow and makes for an excellent railway. I like how you show the products used it genuinely makes for an informative video as well as am enjoyable one. I use the Osborne Models AL00201 cotswold stone walling too. Not cheap but worth it. I wonder if an area set aside for an allotment might offer fine detail more videos and products reviewed. You don't offen see a ploughed brown earth field it makes for a change from grass. I watched David of Horsehay Model Railway #12 use a Busch HO 1204 Weizen Feld / Wheat Field to good effect. I'm with you all the way about what is or isn't prototypical running locomotives and rolling stock.
@steveclark7971 While there is nothing wrong with fields or grassed areas. For me, a ploughed field or allotments where lots of little pieces of detail can be added. As always, rule 1 applies it's Grandad's railway.
Thanks very much. Never really thought about ploughed fields before but when you look around they are dotted all over the landscape. Might be something to consider. 👍
Just started raining where you are…. finally stopped here after what seems several months! All good progress and lots to do but still good just to run trains. With the “field” over the tunnel mouths, why not use it for something a horse paddock with show jumps or some other sort of interest? Justifies it being a bit flat and open then?
Looking good enjoy your video’s fantastic layout. I love it as it’s steam and not just modern image. My layout is very much still in the track laying stage. However I need to do a bit of work on a back scene. I noticed you have used Scale scene retaining walls, were they easy to build use, did you buy the card kit that someone else produces for them or do you have any other advice methods tips etc for building and using them. Thank you
Thank you. Yes, I’ve used Scale Scenes retaining walls. Once you get into a rhythm they’re quite easy to build - almost like a production line. For the red brick walls I only had 1.5mm thick card at the time so I doubled it up for the plinths, parapets and capping
For the Ashlar walling around the loco yard with the arches I did purchase the ready cut kits as I wasn’t sure how neat I could cut the arches. They were quite pricey because I needed so many but have to say they made things so much easier 👍
The topographical features showing different levels make the scenery look very interesting. I also want to know where the line goes into a tunnel comes out. Does it go down below to the fiddle yard ? I also like the shape of the layout and the industrial settings. Would it be set in the late Nineteen Fifties/ Early Nineteen Sixties possibly in Lancashire/ Yorkshire?
Thanks very much. The tunnel come out at the back of the mainline station. I’m hoping it somewhat resembles the lates 50’s in the Yorkshire countryside?
Can't believe it's already been a week!!! Great update as always, very jealous you can run trains, I'm miles off that If that chappie doesn't like it, then member rule 1 If you can't make GETs you have Caistorail this month which from memory isn't too far from you
The new field dont really need a gate, it could be off scene. A shed that looks like its been their from early Victorian era that has seen better days. A rusted out horse plow amd a collapsed roof would add some visual interest. But thats just my thoughts. Its your railroad, its coming along nicely. 🎉🎉🎉
Assuming the derelict buildings are an old farm I would have thought they would be in more of a cluster as opposed to being spread out to fill the space
Wouldn’t bother what that bloke says your layout looks brilliant
Aaah yes the dying breed of the lesser spotted rivet counter!
Thanks very much
I know!
Really enjoying your videos and your layout … it looks brilliant 🙏
Thank you 🙏

Your layout is absolutely fantastic, I would love to see your track plan.

A brilliant layout.
Thank you 😊
Your layout looks amazing. Lots of detail and the train look great, making their way around. Well done 😊
Thanks 😊
I'm of the same vain as I run whatever I like in my Railway. Yours looks fantastic
Thanks very much 👍
Don't worry about the rivet counters. You're doing a great job and have a very entertaining UA-cam channel!
Thanks very much 👍

Thanks very much for your support Colin. Take care, Andy 👍
What a cracking layout. It’s fantastic. Well done.

Good point - maybe add a rusty old tractor and some farm equipment, to add to the sense of abandonment.
But what a great layout!
Thanks Brian. Really helpful 👍
Great idea 👍
Yeah bugger ‘em, I reckon your layout looks blindin’. 💪🏻
Thanks very much! 👍

Hi Pete, if you are having trouble with your static grass, most likely the mesh is too fine.
Thanks Pete. See you at Doncaster next year! 👍

Thanks Andrew.
Only bought the cheapest one, that will teach me ay.☹

Eventually I am planning on having a ploughed field with a couple of traction engines pulling a plough.

Another great video, may I ask where did you get the flexi stone walls
Thank you. The walls come from a model shop called Osborns Models. They have an online service 👍

If that chappie doesn't like it, then member rule 1
If you can't make GETs you have Caistorail this month which from memory isn't too far from you
Thank you. Yes, Caistor is only about 15 miles from me so might be worth a visit 👍
For your buildings to get them level use das clay .😉
Great idea. I’ve just ordered some 👍
As a cheap option for undergrowth,once the dog has ripped up its toys ,I use the fibre filling.similar outcome.plus the toys are only a £1 odd.
That’s a great idea.. and much cheaper 👍
The new field dont really need a gate, it could be off scene. A shed that looks like its been their from early Victorian era that has seen better days. A rusted out horse plow amd a collapsed roof would add some visual interest. But thats just my thoughts. Its your railroad, its coming along nicely. 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you. I really do value your thoughts. Like the idea of some rusted old farm machinery 👍
@@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt how is that shop you discovered the next town over doing? Do they make special orders for customers??
Assuming the derelict buildings are an old farm I would have thought they would be in more of a cluster as opposed to being spread out to fill the space
Maybe, maybe not 👍
It's Fictional so who is to say what is prototypical!
Thank you 👍
More great work Andy, has just served as a reminder of all the little "niggly" bits at Amberlea that need doing......... Chris
Thanks Chris. I know what you mean. My list of ‘finishing touches’ continues to grow!!
