OO Gauge Loft Model Railway Summer 2024 Running Session
A mix of different things running on the mainline and i recently realised my 2 Hornby class 67s work well in top and tail, so I've done a few different things with them as well as a variety on the heritage line with the Dapol sentinel having a run with a private train using the Rapido tram car.

    My idea of a sound running session consists of only Mr. HST, the Pacer and all manner of steam engines whistling and barking down my ears. Diesels would very rarely be used except on the special railtour: one stinky diesel at the back and one sweet-smelling steam engine at the front, top and tailing with one another, as it goes in real life. The diesel is always at the rear to help guard against the risk of line-side fires. Yes, freight trains are still in use, but imagine how wonderful it would be if all we could hear was a steam engine, like Lydham Manor, barking and whistling down our ears all day long. Magical. You can't beat the sight and sounds of God's Wonderful Railway hard at work.

      Hi Al glad you like the loco but yeah realistically i cant be spending this sort of money on one loco, i really wanted a black 5 and wanted a preserved example, after ordering this i see the shildon shop is having a eric treacy model done now so that would be a much cheaper option than what i paid but still to buy a new tooled model now over 200.00 then add sound its another 150.00 and any lights or customising on top of that takes you well over 400, i did generally stick with bachmann and even dapol as there locos usually come with a sound fitted model as well as a preserved example and its usually around a 100.00 more for built in sound rather than buying a sound decoder for 120 and having to either fit it or get it fitted for extra cost, thanks as always for your input and for watching.

    Hi, sorry to hear of your troubles with the black 5, custom loco with custom prices, the thing is that they’ve taken your money for the last time as that price is shocking, surely you got a quote before you got the work done, you have learnt a valuable lesson for the future, the secondhand route is not as great as people think, Rails of Sheffield are charging more for secondhand items that are cheaper new and still available, you really have to do your research before buying these days in my opinion, I do hope you make the money you payed back in the future. Did you ask for the youchoose Zimo sound decoder package? I’m sure Roads and Rails would have been a better option, as for re-numbering I would have sent the shell in on its own to be done, better luck in the future as money doesn’t grow on trees and retailers shouldn’t think we modellers have Swiss bank accounts, thanks for sharing.

    All Black 5s have front couplings, for tender-first running to commence because with some preserved railways (like the Llangollen Railway), there's no room for a turntable. The Black 5 runs just as well hauling a train in reverse. Fit a NEM coupling under his front buffer-beam, and you'll see what I mean. Nice engine.

    Nice update Tom, my grandson likes the 009 area and the lighting. So you get a big thumbs up from him. Have you seen the update he put on over the weekend of his 009 layout? He's mocked it up with scrunched up newspapers and trees made from skewers and card from cereal packets. To be honest, he's not doing a bad job of it so far ...cheers James 🙂👍

    Looks great. That little wiring block looks really neat - going to try that on the rats nest that is my lighting wiring. Quick fix for light bleed from Bachmann scenecraft buildings - stick tinfoil to the inside. Totally blocks light, cheap and easy to work with. Thanks for the upload and all the best, Colin

      Hi Colin thanks for the tip ill raid the kitchen draw for the foil lol, it maybe more expensive but it saves a alot of messing round just being able to plug the wires into each other rather than soldering, thanks for watching. Tom

    What if you put weights inside the DBSO Coach? Would that keep it down on the track and prevent derailment?

    • @northwesttrainsmodels
      @northwesttrainsmodels 11 днів тому

      ive got it now so it runs fine at moderate speed on anything 3rd radius and above, i suppose you could try the weights but i just find bachmann mk2 coaches just dont like setrack points at all, magnetic couplers may help but i haven't tried yet apart from between the coach and the loco which works fine

    Vale of Oxbury, such a good layout with the backscenes running seamlessly from the layout.

    Hi mate,i think your layout is awesome,can i ask do you get any problems with the electrics and bad connections?

    • @northwesttrainsmodels
      @northwesttrainsmodels 5 днів тому

      Hi Anthony, glad you like this layout its changed a bit since this video, I do get the occasional dead spot in the track, i usually give part of the track a rub with the track cleaning block then send a loco round a few laps with the track cleaning wagon before running trains if it hasn't been used for a while but in general its fine and easy to maintain, with it being outside its just general stuff like keeping plants trimmed back and occasionally topping up the ballast when it sinks a bit, thanks for watching. Tom

      @steadycamman1 thanks Pete, I've sold a few 00 models that I don't really use anymore so that part funded it, it's an amazing model just need to find a big track somewere to run it on 😂, thanks for watching. Tom

    Brilliant mate! Great layout too, I like modern day ones and I live in the North and I like the Northern class 156, I actually live on the Cumbria coast line

      Am jealous 😂, I love that line, hoping to go upto Ravenglass on the line in August, staying in Millom for a few days, glad you like the layout and the northern 156 is one of My favourites at the moment

      @@northwesttrainsmodels Yeah it's a nice scenic line, have a good time. I've got a Northern 150 and an Avanti West Coast 390 Pendolino on my layout, as well as some older trains too. No DCC sound yet though

      @Michael-123 that's great, it took me a few years to get info dcc but it's fun which ever system you have, I like the northern 150s, I might swap my arriva one for a northern one some day

    Looking fantastic, Tom. I always appreciate a train around the pond. Are you dead rail? PS. Your pond mint (I think that's what it is) is having a great summer.

    • @northwesttrainsmodels
      @northwesttrainsmodels 25 днів тому

      Hi glad you like it, its no were near the level of your amazing garden, but am happy with how it's looking again, still got plenty to do, the track is electric using lgb dc controller at the moment apart from when I run the live steam loco, the mint really does grow well, I cut it back to virtually nothing last autumn and it doesn't take long to grow back, I regularly have to take it out the pond so it doesn't take over, it's good though in that it gives the fish some shelter from the sun
