What a great video and soundtrack. It makes you feel like you are there watching the local goods train go about it's business along the branchline. 😀 Look forward to seeing the next installment of life on a branchline. 😁
Utterly superb as always, so enjoyable to watch the trains going by and plying their daily trade along the line. Thanks again for posting your efforts!
Totally agree with the comments posted by Lakeside, to my eye your scenics and general atmosphere are unequalled by any of the other top model railway channels in the UK. The combination of skill and anonymity render you the ‘Banksy’ of model railways/roads. Thanks for a really superb video.
Yet more beautiful views of your amazing railway. Great camera angles too, especially the last shot if the engine crossing the bridge and going into the tunnel. Keep up the fine work.
Another excellent video. As a Great Western modeller here in Canada, it is not always easy finding inspiration. This certainly fits the bill. Thanks Cheers from Canada Bob
Yaii the first freight cars for Ponden mk2 ! And the soundtrack to the video is awesome, you even got the clanking of the freight cars and some animal sounds ! A superb job done 👍👏👏👏
Wonderful! A work of art - your scenery, realism with the weathering, operations and adding that sound just puts the cherry on top - so well produced - well done!
Thanks Richard, that’s the way to do it! All you need is some coal burning in the corner and perhaps some hot oil and you’ll have the sight, sounds and smells!!!
Fantastic job as usual Lewis, nice to have the sounds back! In my opinion you definitely have one of the best layouts on UA-cam mate, it is a real credit to your modelling skill, well done and keep up the good work! Cheers...Les.
Thanks Les. There are a lot of incredible layouts on here so that means a lot. I enjoyed adding the sounds again to be honest, it’s quite satisfying, if a bit fiddly! Thanks again mate.
It’s crazy how smooth it is considering it’s not a new model... I’ve got a few more recent releases from Hornby that don’t run half as well. Thank you very much, appreciate it :-)
Sorry, if I repeat myself: you really capture the spirit of the Yorkshire Dales - I know what I am talking about, as I just spent my holidays there ;-) All the best and keep your enjoyable videos coming Harald
I started this in August 2017, so coming up to two years. Always bits and pieces to add/change but as a whole it’s not going to change too much more. Some parts are definitely finished. Best of luck with yours.
This must have taken you an age to edit in the correct sounds but totally worth it in my opinion, what an outstanding video of an outstanding layout - perfect in every respect. In my opinion you are way ahead of the game for detail and realism than the normal ‘famous five’ UA-camrs we see - well done buddy, a true master modeller. 👍🏻👍🏻. Cheers for now mate. ............ Graham
Mouldy Raspberry Thank you, it’s getting there slowly but surely, if mine ends up looking half as good as yours then I will be happy. Cheers for now mate. ......... Graham
Oh new scenery areas! Was that where your mill was previously? Another beautiful and sound terrific video! No wonder I click on your videos fast when I see a new one. Great slow control as well. I’m convinced you will never produce a boring video. Clint
Thanks Andrew. That’s right yes, I might move it elsewhere, but I couldn’t really access the track that ran behind it which was causing some problems! Hope you’re well.
Hi Lewis. I agree with Graham at Lakeside who I follow avidly. You have set the bar for modelling. You're videos are superb. Another Steven Spielberg in the making?. How do you record the bleating sheep?. Lovely touch. Cheers.
Thank you very much Dave. I put on a sheep costume and cover myself in droppings to mask my scent so I can get really close with a microphone. If that fails, I just use some of the audio from a non copyrighted ambient sounds UA-cam channel 😉 thanks again!
Thanks Dave. It’s just fine sand, which I painted a dark grey to represent the cinder ballast in a lot of yards. I think I included it in a video a few weeks back when I showed the construction of the station.
Hi Lewis. Once again a very nice and interesting video. The station looks really good now you've added some extra details. I love the loads in the open wagons. Your expertise in the weathering really makes the difference on your rolling stock and the close up of the weathered loco standing at the platform is simply stunning. I do have a quick question to ask you. They say that a layout is never really finished so what I wanted to know is how long has it taken you to get this layout to its present state. Once again thank you for the great video.
Ladies and gentlemen.... the Academy Award for cinematography goes to....Mouldy Raspberry....the award for film editing.....Mouldy Raspberry....sound editing....Mouldy Raspberry. Speaking of film references...just one and only one of the loco’s engine noise and whistle took me right back to the movie “ The bridge on the river Kwai “ The scene right before the loco goes over the bridge to be blown up. Love me some David Lean. He blew up and derailed another beautiful loco in “ Lawerence of Arabia” Wow! I really went off the rails with that .... okay, see ya next time.
Brilliant as always. I always use UA-cam to get my fix while I don’t have my own layout. You never let me down!. Did you find a home for your new prize from Sandling Junction?
Thank you, glad I could be of service! You know, I only caught up with Paul’s video today and realised I had won! I’m sure I can find it a suitable home!
JUST WOW! Great job mr. Very well detailed layout, really like the way you've used your layout, and captured brilliantly a mock-up reality. THANKS FOR SHARING !!! QUESTION: How do you have the sound effects on the wagons? Also the clinkerty clank (rail joints) of your coaches too, on a previous video?
Thanks very much, thank you for watching! I’ve added those in when editing. I recorded a Steam engine shunting some wagons at a preserved railway. Thanks again 😀
@@MouldyRaspberry Ahh haa! I thought they sounded too realistic. Very well edited and put together I must say! You've given me a grand idea now thanks, certainly be getting out my sound recorder next time i'm down at my railway. Time for a ride on the train me thinks. Look forward to your next vid :-)
Thanks Gerry. I always upload in 1080, which is how it’s playing back for me. Some times it takes a bit longer to process and so it’s only available at 360 for a bit. Is it sorted now?
You really are good. I was there in the guard's van waving you up to the wagons. I'm not mad, you just manage to create reality. Interested to know your source for the sound effects. Barry Devon.
Thanks Sammy :-) i think it’s mine as well. I’ll have to build some new platforms for the other station, the current metcalfe ones are a bit warn now and have a warped a bit after 2 years.
Love some of those angles and the MR brake looks great! Is it new? Have you thought about a small diesel or steam shunter for your goods yard (to arrange the wagons once the main engine has detached)? I haven't got much work done recently on my layout, but have done a small section around a signal, with a few electrical boxes and stuff. Need some pont rodding now. I did buy a hobbyking static grass machine for 23 pounds. However, it does not stand the fibres up very well at all - I can do a much better job with my 4 pound puffer bottle. Do you know any reason why this might be? I've connected it to the rails with the clip, and the light comes on. Just only a few bits stand up. I've also got my gala this weekend, with the Fairburn and Hall arriving tonight via die-cast lowloader! I'll look forward to your next video, bye!
Thanks bud. It’s not new, but hasn’t ran too much - so new to video I guess. Yes, that’s a nice idea. I’d just want to make sure it was something reliable that won’t be stalling because of the short wheelbase. Any suggestions? The pod rodding does make a nice addition doesn’t it. Have you tried holding the sieve pretty close the baseboard, and making sure the batteries are fully juiced? Maybe it’s for some sort of fault. Have you tried holding the clip against the glue? With mine if I touch the sieve to the lie it actually sparks so I can tell the charge has passing through! Haha love the Fairburn arriving on the low loader!! Nice touch. Looking forward to it, and thanks again.
@@MouldyRaspberry I recommend the new hornby 0-4-0s. They are much better than the old speedy ones. You could even use a chassis and scratch build your own body. I'm not sure how good the hornby pugs are. There's always the new p class and Andrew barclay, or the peckett. What about the bachmann 03/04. You can pick then up for about 40 quid, especially the M.O.D ones split from set. If your looking from something really cheap, then I recommend the railroad 06 or red bagnall. I have one, they're OK when weathered and only 20 pounds. I'm tempted by the hornby large prairie, but the dapol one, although further behind in development, sounds better. I don't know about you but I really hate hornby's plastic wheel centres. It makes the models feel cheaper and lighter. Thanks for the static grass help. I might do some weathering this evening, I've been inspired by hornby magazines latest issue. I'd like to know what you think on the shunting engines, and the large prairie?
"Pressed the comment button too soon".....it is not prettied up like some layouts where nothing is out of place and they are just a little to neat. Cheers Greg
I had the idea that a local goods train would be made up of five or six wagons/vans and a Guard's Van. Or were they a bit longer than my theory? Correct me if I'm wrong.
I’ve seen some old footage and photos of Great Western branch lines with local goods trains made up of a single wagon and brake van! I’ve also seen photos/videos of the where there are so many wagons they go out of the shot. So I guess it depends of how busy the line is and how remote it is. I would have though 5-10 wagons would be typical for a small branch line, probably more in a secondary route with lots of stations to drop wagons off at.
Because only the main track is is wired to the power, the points/switches isolate the sidings, so I don’t have to derail anything. I just need to make sure each engine is isolated in a siding before I move another one out of a siding elsewhere! It means I can have 8/9 engines on the layout, but with only one moving at any one time.
Hi,
True Realism no more words required.
Cheers Robert.
Thank you Robert.
Top marks for sound and camera angle shots i sat here having my morning cuppa and just loved it ..........FELT I WAS BACK IN THE 50-60S.
That’s the life! Thanks Paul glad you enjoyed it.
Very much enjoy our periodic excursions through the Yorkshire dales. Transported away! Regards Stephen.
Thank you Stephen, glad you enjoyed!
What a great video and soundtrack. It makes you feel like you are there watching the local goods train go about it's business along the branchline. 😀
Look forward to seeing the next installment of life on a branchline. 😁
Thanks Gary, appreciate it mate 😀
Sound, motion, speed all superbly done Mr Mouldy.
Thanks John!
The sounds, such beautiful, realistic scenery. Simply enviable. Bravo, and thanks for 7:36 of pleasure.
Thanks very much!
Another very enjoyable video.
Thanks mate!
sound effects and visuals come together beautifully
Thank you :-)
Utterly superb as always, so enjoyable to watch the trains going by and plying their daily trade along the line. Thanks again for posting your efforts!
Thank you very much for watching them!
It’s like watching a tv I love your layout and weathering technique keep it up!!
Thank you very much :-)
If there was an award for the best model railway videos on UA-cam, you would have to be there Mr Raspberry. Yet another superb video. Cheers, Bob
Thank you Bob, always appreciate it my friend!

Yet more beautiful views of your amazing railway. Great camera angles too, especially the last shot if the engine crossing the bridge and going into the tunnel. Keep up the fine work.
Thank you Guy, very kind of you! I like that view as well.

Another masterpiece, just played video through television with surround sound..... magical 👌
Thanks Richard, that’s the way to do it! All you need is some coal burning in the corner and perhaps some hot oil and you’ll have the sight, sounds and smells!!!
Mouldy Raspberry got the wood burner going, well it is winter🤔
A superb well put together video. Thank you for your time & effort in producing another “Masterpiece”.
Cheers David, always appreciate it.
Fantastic..very realistic, fantastic modelling as always, very envious indeed..cheers, Chris
Thank you very much Chris!
These videos are some of the best I've ever seen.The sound is great as well
Thank you Peter 😀
Loved it all, thank you, looks fantastic the entire layout.
Cheers Alex :-)
very good video thanks like your layout very much brilliant
Thank you John!
A wonderful way to spend 7 1/2 minutes, just brilliant as always Lewis. Paul
Thank you Paul!
Looks great even on my tiny phone screen. Love the sounds really adds to vid. I must go back and watch the earlier ones.
That’s very much mate 😀
Love these videos Really look forward to them Cheers Keith
Thank you Keith!
A lovely film to watch You have a great talent for filming as well as model making. I like the new signalbox too
Thank you, appreciate it :-)
Great video, so much detail to take in...brilliant

Hi Putting a great video together is a art but the scound as well fantastic. Colin
Thanks Colin!!
the sound effects of the train really made the video better.
Thanks mate 😀
I swear the sheep were moving. 😉
Well I am often standing them back up Robert!
Beautiful layout, and nicely filmed
Thanks m’lord.
That Standard is a real smooth slow runner! Synchronised 4 beats per revolution. Rebounding loose couplings.
The bar's getting higher and higher!!
It’s crazy how smooth it is considering it’s not a new model... I’ve got a few more recent releases from Hornby that don’t run half as well. Thank you very much, appreciate it :-)
Another brilliant video Mr Raspberry. as I've said before, YDMR is the "go to" layout for ideas and inspiration.
Thank you Mike :-)
Some nice footage there😊
Thanks Simon :-)
Lovely video mate, a bygone era in railways captured perfectly here. Well done bud. Really impressive your layout. Cheers Ross
Thanks Ross, always appreciate you comments mate.

Hi MR As usual a very enjoyable video to watch, loved the sound effects. Everything about your layout is so natural looking. It is not prettied
Thanks very much Greg

All the best and keep your enjoyable videos coming Harald
Thank you very much Harald, I trust you had a great holiday!
Really like your layout, am aspiring to make mine just as good, you are truly a master.👍
Thank you Paul, appreciate it mate. Is your layout set in a similar era?
Around about the late 50 and early 60s ish, how long did this take to build? or is it always an on going project?
I started this in August 2017, so coming up to two years. Always bits and pieces to add/change but as a whole it’s not going to change too much more. Some parts are definitely finished. Best of luck with yours.
Cheers for the reply, lots to do with mine as I only started it in January, looking forward to more of your utube footage. All the best Paul.

Thanks Clint, you’re too kind. Yes, that’s right. I’ve filmed it, but need some more fencing/trees and a few other bits to get it sorted.
Totally agree with all the positive comments below. I have never heard sound used so well - an extra dimension of realism.
Thanks very much Mark.
"Stand well away from the edge of Platform 1. The approaching train - from your left - will not be stopping here!"
As always, a great video.
Gotta keep the locals guessing! Thanks Peter!
I really like the pace that you run your locos at. Some modellers run them too fast for my tastes!
Thank you. They don’t all run this slow unfortunately, funny how some are happy to crawl along at a snails pace and other simply will not have it!
Agreed. :-)
Wonderful as always, thank you! Am I right in deducting that the mill has gone and the area being redeveloped? Cheers for now.
Thanks Andrew. That’s right yes, I might move it elsewhere, but I couldn’t really access the track that ran behind it which was causing some problems! Hope you’re well.

Hello I was just wondering is this a dcc layout or just dc?
Just plain old DC. Tried to keep it as simple and cheap as possible.
@@MouldyRaspberry alright that's reasonable DCC can be expensive
👌😎
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
