Through the Railway Room Door to my Dawlish Model Railway
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Here a tour of the railway room itself which is built in a Green Retreats garden room. Dawlish in OO incudes Kingswear, Newton Abbot and Dawlish stations plus of course the iconic seawall. You'll get to see the room itself - what's above the railway and how the model railway track plan works. New additions to the railway since my last video include Dawlish signal box and a first glimpse of Newton Abbot station building nearing completion - which (hopefully) looks remarkably like Exeter St David's station building!

Very impressive and realistic work. 👍
Thank you very much!
Very nice take on Dawlish Station and beyond. Dont forget to put the barrow crossing in, and maybe a boat at the jetty. Nice model of one of my fav places. ☺️
Thank you - points noted
Nice layout!! I have subscribed 😊👍
Welcome aboard - thank you!
Not bad a all. 😅😅😅
As i have been now living here in Dawlish for the past 16 years now. I have read up a lot on the old layout of the station and track work.
You, sir, are very very close to what it has been in the age you are running. I could see the cross over near the start of the viaduct. Correct.
But could not see the one at the end of the station passed the bridge. Maybe we couldn't see it. Because of the bridge. 😅.
And just to let you know. Were you have that shed at the end of the yard. That is were the water tower was.
Mind you. You can only do so much.
And you have done an amazing work already sir.
Thank you.😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks for your kind remarks. The other crossover is there! Re the water tower, I have a dapol kit to make up for that - came across it in my to do box the other day and it did cross my mind to do it whilst I had the relevant paint out. Perhaps you have just shifted it up my priority list. Watch this space!
Fabulous railway room and super layout under construction.I love the platform-mounted signal box. I remember going on holiday to Dawlish in the mid fifties. It rained heavily while we were there but on the plus side, my parents bought me a Dinky Toy Rolls Royce with working suspension! That was great fun and we enjoyed our brief stay despite the rain. Thanks for sharing your layout - carry on with the good work - it's looking great. Congratulations on your viewing numbers, too.
Thank you - nice to hear it brought back some memories
Flat on my back in admiration of your layout. Bravo sir.
Many thanks!
Nice tour and running session.
Happy Modelling.
Thanks 👍
First time viewer, just subscribed. What a great looking layout, I am looking forward to following your layout build progress.
Welcome aboard! Thank you for your kind remarks
Don't forget to put the holiday camps...lol
They are a bit further on at Dawlish Warren - I have a track plan for that at dawlishinoo.co.uk
That looks amazing!
Thank you
I like how you have got Dawlish station to a T. I was also thinking of doing dawlish curve heading round towards Dawlish Warren on part of my new extended layout that is due to be constructed. I like to try and do an exhibition styled Dawlish station with the wall like you have done and I think it would be an excellent opportunity to build Dawlish station for an exhibition. You have done great work on it love to see more modern are trains running on your Dawlish section.
Hi and thanks for your reply. There are plenty of options for modelling this part of the railway network. I've done a trackplan for Dawlish Warren here...dawlishinoo.co.uk/dawlish-warren-model-railway-track-plan/
Looks great but would look even greater with 80s trains !
I might treat myself to an Edward Elgar in Green with sound one day. Just dug out some photos of my time at Exeter uni earlier - semaphore signals at Dawlish Warren!
Hi just found your channel and subscribed. Regards Bernie in NZ
Hi Bernie. Thanks for subscribing - what's your interest in Dawlish in OO?
@@peterloader5353 Actually I like anything UK rail and OO. I like variety in regions and scenery. I like the railway room...very envious. Regards Bernie
Just subscribed looking fantastic some seriously good modelling!
Q I am at a similar stage to you and run Z21 also, I’m trying to make a decision on point control both what motors (I have a selection of Solenoid Tortoise and analogue Cobalt) and on Z21 or not. I favour your approach to keep it separate. The itrains route looks interesting can you point me in the direction of how I could get some advice on it? Thanks Mark
Thanks for your kind remarks. I've similarly got a mix of point motors. I'd say my preferred is peco solenoid plus dcc concepts ads-8sx accessory decoders - gives me the option for lever frames at a later date it money permits and I have the inclination. Itrain is probably overkill but I like the point and click diagram plus route programming.
Z21 is good value - if you have mobiles / tablets knocking about then multiple controllers available at no extra cost. I tell visitors to simply install the app then wireless send the loco roster to them when they arrive.
Ah so in theory you could use a separate large tablet to for point control?
@@markhudson2684- yes you could. I think it has to be Android 5 and later - which is annoying as I had planned to use an old tablet which would have been ideal
Hello., I watched your video today and am very envious of your Railway room. One thing I think you should know. Your control system you said was a Z Twenty One. That is wrong. You along with may other DCC modellers get it wrong. I know it says on it Z21, but it actually reads Zed to One, meaning any layout from Z gauge to gauge One, can be operated by that system.. Otherwise what a wonderful layout concept you have! Keep it up..
Hey - I didn't know that! Every day is a school day. Thanks for your kind remarks
some of those trains have the wrong lights on them (red on the front white on the back)
but other then that its a great layout 👍
Thanks - I know. Beyond my current skills etc and time capacity to fix I'm afraid. If I get to the point where i can sort those details I really will have made good progress! Thanks for your kind remarks.
