UPDATE No16 THE END TO END LAYOUT
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 тра 2024
- We get ideas in our head but sometimes they will just not work see what mine was and the new plan to sort it I think. Using that different glue to glue the rails down how well is it glued and is it worth using? Talking of heads what is wrong with mine!!! You will be pleased to know there is not a mouse or mice in this at all just a man me.
All looking really good Robert! Good luck with your medical procedure
All the best take care
Hi Deano,
I hope you are taking things easy as I am waiting for an appointment to come but thanks for watching and your very nice comments watch next Friday to see how it turns out and yes you take lots of care please.
Cheers Robert.
great update Robert should work out the way your planning - wish you well with ur medical procedure hope all goes well
Hi,
Thanks very much for watching and your very nice comments watch next week to see how the build went. The face is now in a waiting game for an appointment how long that will be who knows???
Cheers Robert.
Layout coming on well and note you are sorting the bridge problem out well. There is a road bridge on the skew near where I live so I think I might take a look next time I am near there and see how they have done things. Great fun looking at the real thing! Cheers Malcolm
Hi Malcolm,
If you watch the next update on Friday your skewed bridge may be just what I need to improve what I have done. Cheers for watching and your very nice comments.
Cheers Robert.
Hello Robert,
Another grand video, but first, we want to wish you luck with the medical procedure and hope it is benign. The end-to-end is a great effort and, from theory to execution, bumps are going to happen. I like what you are doing and the adjustment and curve to the tunnels/overpass will actually be a better look because it is less angular and rigid, but flowing and evocative. So, I think it is a happy discovery and the change seemed easy enough on this side of the video. lol All the best to you! Cheers!
Hi Anthony & Joyce,
I do not yet have an appointment for the hospital its just a case of waiting over here but hope its not to long after all get me in remove the problem and another hopefully succesful case sorted for the stats!!! I hope Joyce is recovering well ready for that super trip to Aus its a super place with loads to see. Cheers as always for watching and your very nice comments and see how the build went next Friday. I hope we get a follow up to the building work you have done as it will be nice to see you both enjoying a drink on the finished job but I am super impressed on what you have done.
Cheers Robert.
When making a layout, even with a drawing you will end up moving things around to fit in buildings, houses, roads along with other items. I tried to make a curved viaduct using a Metcalfe Kit and a pack of sheeting to match. I ended up with four squares to which I was unable to fit any track to it. I have had some Perspeck ones made. I will try and cover them using the kits. Good luck with the End to End. Martin. (Thailand)
Hi Martin,
Watch on Friday to see how this turned out and yes as you say things do need to be moved around so the layouts will work. Thanks for watching and your very nice comments.
Cheers Robert.
Ciao Robert
great addition with Metcalfe products.I am sorry for your intervention but I am sure that everything will be fine. Let us know. If you allow me a big hug.alberto 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hi Alberto,
Thanks very much for watching and your very nice comments watch next Friday to see how the bridge turned out as for the face still awaiting an appointment but in no pain so its ok.
Cheers Robert.
I'm sure it will all look good when you get it finished. I would try skewing the entrances myself but I know you said you don't want to do that.
Hope all goes well with your appointment and look forward to your next update.
Hi Roy,
Watch on Friday to see if we had the same idea!!! but as always I thank you for watching and your very nice comments and as of now I am still waiting for that appointment to come.
Cheers Robert.
All looking very good Robert. i have recently bought some foam boards from Hobbycraft that are cheap and easily cut and glued together.
Hi Philip,
Thanks very much for watching and your very nice comments and the build has moved on a lot so watch next weeks video to see how it all turned out but thanks for the hint.
Cheers Robert.
Nice bit of progress there Robert. I think the bridge will look fine in its new position. Good luck with the head issue been there ages you say then probably nothing but better sorted than not eh? See you on your next update.
Hi,
Yes another on Friday watch to see how the build went and what it looks like. Cheers so much for watching and your very nice comments and as for the face just have to wait for that appointment but nothing yet.
Cheers Robert.
Interesting video Robert, and an fascinating challenge. I think the model kit could have been modified to skew, but it would be a fiddly job and require a fair bit of working out.
I agree removing the siding section gives more space and having two bridge sections would make the build easier. Maybe you could put a girder bridge between the two brick sections. I did similar with my viaduct recently, making the girder bridge to connect the two sections together. Please say if I can help, you know where am...
Hi John,
You are great and I thank you so much for the offer of help, watching this and your super comments and as I said in the video the build has progressed so watch next weeks one to see how it turned out.
Cheers Robert.
Lots of trial and error Robert . You could look at a laser cut MDF bridges on the net to give you some ideas Robert.
Hi Allan,
This build has as I said in the video progressed a lot so watch next weeks video to see what it turned out like. As always Lord Al cheers for watching and your very nice comments.
Cheers Robert.
Hi Robert- First up good luck with the head and I hope everything goes well.
As I was behind on your videos I thought I would jump to this one so at least I am up to date. I have found that plans keep having to be amended even though they seemed to be well planned !! My next video will prove that point big time 🤣
Cheers Kev
Hi Kev,
Yes will look forward to seeing your next video in that case but if you don't like sorting out problems then model railways may not be for you possibly. Thanks as always for watching and your very nice comments the conclusion to the bridge on Friday so keep well all of you down there and your railshow is getting ever nearer.
Cheers Robert.
Hi Robert yes problem solving is all part of the fun of model rail 🤣 And yes the show is getting closer 👍🏾
Can I suggest you check the clearance with a 2nd coach running alongside the coach in the far siding (instead of that dock shunter). You might notice that a coach will stick its ends out on a curve because of how far away the bogie is from the coach end. It gets worse as the bogies are placed further away from the coach end.
Good luck with that skin issue. Doctors have been doing those kind of procedures to my dad for years and he's 90 this year.
Hi,
Yes when I was waiting to see the consultant an 80 year old was there and he had had many of these taken away so there's hope for me just need that appointment date. Thanks very much for watching and your very nice comments and yes I take your point on the coach but this bit of track is more so I can exit loco's off scene and remove them and the one next to it is just for very small trains so will just have to choose what goes there. The next is on Friday so please watch to see how the bridge turned out.
Cheers Robert.
Cheers from overseas the United States
Hi,
Thank you so much for watching and your very nice comment another video next Friday so please watch to see how the build turned out.
Cheers Robert.
Try out what you wanna do. Otherwise you won't know whether it'll go well or not. I've got my camera back, and videos are being uploaded on my channel once more. There's a new one, showing off a new creative talent of mine. I bought a hardback A4-sized sketchbook from ebay, around the £16 mark. I've turned it into a Sam's Trains Storybook. The video is ready to be uploaded, but there's another one I need to finish off first and that is to do with Thomas the Tank Engine stories and playing trains. I have a hospital check-up appointment next week, so it's nothing to worry about. I really miss watching your steamies running up in the loft.
Hi Kelly,
Yes I know the loft is being ignored somewhat so I am sorry but I will get up there at some stage its great you have your camera back will wait to see what you film. Cheers for watching and your very nice comments and I hope your visit to the hospital goes well and hopefully I will get my appointment soon so I can go also. Another video on Friday showing how the bridge build went hope you will watch.
Cheers Robert.
Hi Robert enjoying your new build, Im about to extend my layout and guess I will encounter some issues. Recently you purchased a Dremel which model did you get and are you happy with it. A further question I'm toying going down the iTrain track my layout is smaller than yours, are you still happy you went down that route? Hope the medical things work out. Dallas.
Hi Dallas,
Thanks very much for watching and your very nice comments and in answer to your questions yes I am happy I went the iTrains route but don't underestimate the amount of work needed to get it to work and my layout is not ideal to get this to work as well as it could but when it does its magic and I bought the model 3000 Dremel which is mains operated but if you get it also buy more bits to go with it as not many supplyed with it if you buy the battery one then more supplyed but when I looked it was £120 as opposed to about £50 but I am happy with it and hope this helps and good luck with your layout extend. The next update tonight (Friday 10th) at 7pm.
Cheers Robert.
@@robertstrainset6556 thanks Robert.
There's always plan b Robert, keep bashing away.
Hi Andy,
Watch next week to how this turned out and as always cheers for watching and your very nice comments.
Cheers Robert.
