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.

Hi Tom great running session lots of variety there stay well Pete
@hermitageroad4713 thanks Pete I like to try an do something different each time and always good fun filming a few running sessions and putting the clips together
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.
@@kellyashfordtrains2642 am still working out how I can get one of my mainline steam to top and tail with a diesel at the same speed so they don't derail but it's proven tricky so far I might get it one day
A great running session, Tom. Dylan gives it a big thumbs up ... cheers James 🙂👍
@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY Hi James and Dylan glad you enjoyed it, thanks as always for watching and for the kind comments
Great running session!! Thank you for making a video of it and putting it on UA-cam!!
@@Madonsteamrailways no problem glad you enjoyed it, thanks again
How many stations do you have on your layout? On my portable one, I have a single station.
@Madonsteamrailways there is one station on the lower level line and 2 on the heritage layout, one is just temporary at the moment
The steam train is being hauled by the new tooling Black Five? What a lovely sight!! And has she got the steam producer on board?
@Madonsteamrailways Hi she hasn't got a smoke unit unfortunately, I'll probably get one fitted in the future, it is a stunning loco
Good evening Tom!! What a gorgeous layout you’re running in the loft!! I’m considering getting my loft boarded fully so that I can have a permanent layout as well as my small, portable layout.
@Madonsteamrailways Hi if you can do it's certainly worth having a layout in the loft and definitely worth getting the roof ceiling insulated and boarded, glad you like the layout, thanks for watching. Tom
Hi Tom, very enjoyable watch nice bit of editing and some different mix and matches of stock cheers Al
@@breintonjunction791 thanks Al I like to try and run something different each time
Hi, superb running session, you have some awesome items on your layout, thanks for sharing.💎
@StormmyStormmy Hi glad you enjoyed it, I try and run something different each time, thanks for watching. Tom
Like the black colour and red accents 👌
Cheers Seb have i converted you into a steam fan lol
The Hornby Black Five is a stunning model when it works properly. TMC really should've tested their models before sending them out.
Hi yes unfortunately i thought that was the case even when i ordered it and all the negative comments came out about this model having running issues i thought theyl test and makesure its a good one before spending money working on it, i herd good things about them and they always have nice looking stuff at exhibitions i wondered whether theyd just grown to big and dont have the staff for all the orders, hopefully mine was just a one of but i dont think ill be getting another one done anytime soon, thanks for watching. Tom
hi did you film the The Lakeside & Haverthwaite Under Bridge. at Haverthwaite
I filmed the otherside of the bridge were the line used to continue did you see the video link i sent, i presume thats the bit you mean ua-cam.com/video/avBlTOOIZeI/v-deo.html
@@northwesttrainsmodels yes that the one Can't find it on your channel that's why. are you going back too the ELR soon i love too meet you at bury
@narrkys-wo6us click the link I've just sent you and I should be at the ELR for the steam gala hopefully
@@northwesttrainsmodels will you be at the ELR Autumn Diesel Gala i will be there
@narrkys-wo6us I usually do but ill have to see nearer the time if your on facebook or instagram follow my page on there north west trains and message me nearer the time and I'll now if I can make it or not 👍
I love the diesels, When I was a teen I virtually filed multiple train spotting books, remembering getting the 23rd out of the Deltics at 12 30 am as it passed via WGC.80s were awesome
I bet id love to go back intime with a modern day camera and film them in action on the mainline, my favourite was when i was about 12 down in Dawlish seeing the virgin and GWR livered HSTS and class 47s speeding past
Lovely loco Tom. But WOW the price. Great you finally got a good one. ATB to you.Stuart
Hi Stuart, glad you like the loco but yeah the prices are ridicilous now for a ready to run model and even more when u want to add sound and rename them, am going to have to be more cautious in what i buy now as its definitely getting harder to justify spending that kind of money i was eyeing up another bachmann 158 with sound for 329.00 and thought thats still to expensive but arguably better value as it already has sound and full working lights, thanks for watching. Tom
hi pal Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway I wonder was under the bridge at Haverthwaite? do you known
@narrkys-wo6us do you mean the end of the line at Haverthwaite through the tunnel, there's a few old wagons, not much else really to be honest
@@narrkys-wo6us ua-cam.com/video/avBlTOOIZeI/v-deo.htmlsi=aBi2TDmkeKR_ySdB
@@northwesttrainsmodels yes i love that railway i work at the ELR are you going there too see thomas
Hi Tom, glad this one works properly now for you does look and sound good but then (I don’t think I misheard you £467) couldn’t believe the price don’t think I’ll be buying one cheers Al
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. Tom
I don't know what you do for a living Tom but you must be earning a good screw to be able to pay this sort of money for one locomotive, best wishes, Colin. totally crazy price.
@sanclewphotographic Hi Colin I didn't mention it but I had sold of a fair bit to fund this and my o gauge model, but am in the mind now that these prices now for what I want are getting far to much as am probably having to sell 3 or 4 sound fitted locos to fund one new one, as much as i like this loco now its working if i went back in time i probably wouldnt have ordered it, but now I have it am going to hopefully enjoy it, thanks for watching. Tom
The late Eric Treacy made some excellent books over the years, Nice black five I remember them coming thro Mansfield they scared me something chronic as a little lad, All steam and hissing like a dragon good days gone forever.
Your only here once enjoy your models.
TMC are doing a Deltic for me renaming to The Green Howards renumbered of course, Weathering, Crew etc It was the last loco my wife sat in at Staveley before she suddenly passed away, Expecting good things from TMC I'm sure they won't let me down.
@tonyrobinson362 thank you Tony, much appreciated
Looks nice Tom
@hermitageroad4713 thanks Pete it was a long wait, it's a nice loco and runs well got there in the end
I tried 3 of the LMS ones and they were no good. My BR late crest one is fine though with no issues. I think they came from different factories
@danprice7973 that's a good shout about different factories, I thought it may have been a dodgy batch, i should have mentioned more on the review, after initially pre ordering the model i saw some bad reviews but I thought with mine being customised i thought they'd check the loco worked fine first before doing the work to it but unfortunately not, I did think was it a bad batch because I hadn't seen anything negative about the br version, thanks for watching. Tom
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.
@StormmyStormmy Hi I did now about the price to be honest, it's all on there website when u tick the boxes, at the time I was prepared to pay it but i think i just got so disapointed with the first 2 that it made me realise its to much for what you get, other places were the same sort of price, I used to use olivias but my last model from there came back damaged and wasnt properly rectified, I think just in general the prices are getting to high it wasn't so long ago that you could buy a new model for 150.00 or less and have it fully customised for under 400.00 with smoke, lights and sound
I've been there with my parents this week and I really enjoyed it. I saw Ivatt 46441 inside the engine shed with the other locos including the Fairburn and a class 20. I'd love to go there again, one day.
@joshhemingwaythewlismetcalfe96 Hi Josh glad you enjoyed your visit there am hoping to go back soon as i have a cab ride experience my parents got me for my birthday, it is a great Railway and in a lovely part of the world, thanks for watching. Tom
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.
@kellyashfordtrains2642 glad you like the loco I will probably fit the front couplers to it for my next running session, I don't mind running locos in reverse especially as this one has a working lamp to, thanks for watching. Tom
@@northwesttrainsmodels Like ain't the word. I love the LMS Black 5 very much.
@@kellyashfordtrains2642 same here, the black 5, Jubilees and Coronation Class I love
There's some great little layouts there, Tom ...cheers James 🙂👍
@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY thanks James, sometimes tiny layouts are better than big layouts with the extra detail and running potential that people put into them
Nice compilation.
@kellyashfordtrains2642 thanks Kelly, much appreciated 🙂
What was the name of the song from bensound
Hi John sorry for slow reply i think the track was called going Higher
CONSTRUCTIVE USE of lighting and shadow is something not usually attempted by most modelers. Congratulations to you; Tom, for your accomplishment in producing a truly dramatic video of your interesting layout. JAGRAF/X RAILROAD on the web 😊.
Thanks glad you like it, I like doing the night scenes on the layout, I'll check out your channel and thanks for watching. Tom
Amazing 👏 also does your layout have a diesel locomotive depot and fuel point
Hi Corey not at the moment the 2 sidings on the mainline i was planning on making into a depot but there wasn't much room so its just 2 piolt sidings for diesels to sit in, am planning on extending the layout another 10ft so i plan on fitting in a diesel depot there eventually, glad you like the layout, thanks for watching. Tom
Jeg undrer mig over hvorfor der er tilkoblet et diesellokomotiv bagerst på toget der trækkes af et damplokomotiv i indslaget fra 10:35 til 10:55🤔
Hi Erik the diesel is there to provide breaking for the coaches also could be used as an emergency engine if the steam fails and i believe also power for the kitchen coach possibly
@@northwesttrainsmodels Jeg havde godt på fornemmelsen at det var noget i den retning. Det samme brugte DSB i år 2000 da dronning Ingrid af Danmark skulle begraves i Roskilde. Der var to DSB damplokomotiver forrest og et diesellokomotiv (litra MY) bagerst. Turen gik fra Københavns Hovedbanegård til Roskilde 30 km. mod vest.
Wonderful modelling as this scale lends itself to miniature sizing...admire the skill and patience of the creators...
There certainly is some fantastic layout out there and some really talented people building them, thanks for watching. Tom
What an amazing LMS Engine! It looks exactly like Arthur!
Its certainly a lovely looking loco, if it perfomed aswell as it looked it would be the perfect model, thanks for watching. Tom
A highly illuminating video (sorry, cough - couldn't resist). 😉 Looks superb - particuarly the CIS (Customer Informatrion Systems) on the platforms. _Do like you connector blocks - have a couple of these courtesy of a scrapped English Electric Canberra!_ 🙂
😂 glad you like the illumination, I enjoy doing the night scenes, thanks for watching. Tom
Hi Tom, doing a cracking job on the 009 layout coming together nicely you’ve put a lot of work into this part of the loft layout cheers Al
Thanks Al its coming along how I want it now, thanks as always for watching. Tom
Layouts coming along nice. Great capture of the Black 5. I only live about a mile away, if i had known in advance i may have popped along to see it myself.
Glad you like the layout, I only new about it the night before I thought id try Rainhill as its local and no ticket barriers, thanks for watching. Tom
Great progress on the layout Tom
glad you like it, thanks as always mate much appreciated. Tom
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 🙂👍
Hi James glad he likes how the layouts progressing, i saw his video earlier and hes doing a great job on the layout, thanks for watching. Tom
@northwesttrainsmodels Apart from the baseboard, he's done just about everything himself, whilst I've been busy making cups of tea and providing the biscuits 😁👍
Thank you for the video Tom, the layout looks AMAZING, so many different things going on everywhere, cheers, Pete. 👍
Hi Pete glad you like the layout, from the start i wanted to cram as much in as i could and have 2 different levels with a narrow gauge line, maybe one day ill fit a tram line in to lol, thanks for watching. Tom
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
Nice video! Last year in oktober, i visit this train, and also my sister Manuela Hassall.
Hi Michiel glad you enjoyed the video, i hope you and your sister enjoyed your visit and thank you for watching
What if you put weights inside the DBSO Coach? Would that keep it down on the track and prevent derailment?
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 Tom, really like it. Carl.
@@carlgauntletttrains3026 thanks Carl much appreciated. Tom
Is that a beep-rs3 on the siding? 😂 It's adorable!
@drewzero1 not quite 😂 it's a lil Critter 👍
Hi mate,i think your layout is awesome,can i ask do you get any problems with the electrics and bad connections?
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
Looks good 👍
@@nickdolman6927 thanks its one of the favourites
WOW, Tom, what a buy, I'm sure you work hard enough to justify buying this AMAZING loco, thank you for the video, cheers, Pete.👍
@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
Wunderschöne kleine Anlagen.
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.
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
Great video, Tom. We've enjoyed watching it... Cheers James 🙂👍
Thanks James much appreciated, it was a fun day out 👍
