Thanks again,

We had one member who had something similar, if not even more expensive. Gave great pictures of a great layout, shame about the bloke, bit big headed and a bit of a bully. Insisted on having all of his posts deleted when Geoff gave him an ultimatum.
Ha! Ha! Remember him, had the gall to complain that not enough people were commenting about his layout but didn't contribute to any other thread!

just watched the video, what an amazing layout! dirt and grime everywhere and lots of interesting bits and bobs to catch the eye.

I had to pause bits so I could see what you've done!

Gives me some inspiration of what can be achieved - well done excellent work!!

Thanks for the comments.

Thought I'd post a short clip of 2 sound fitted Class 40's, nearest loco
D338 has South West Digital and the rear loco D210 has Howes sound.

Think I prefer the Howes :wink:

What extraordinary sound and interior lighting. Any chance of persuading you to shoot some more video? This layout definitely in my top ten faves. I caught the video of the coal rake, that is just terrific. My cat joined me in watching it...

Thanks Chops for your comments, hope the video didn't send your cat to sleep :)

I will see if I can do something this weekend on the video front.

Had a running session this morning and thought I'd record a little of it.

Something of a record for me, 3 locos running at the same time.

Hope you enjoy it :wink:

Hi Jim - Love the parcels train, perfect depiction of a 1960s working!

Thanks very much Dan for your comment, glad you like it.

Thanks again Jim, I really like parcel stock, more so than passenger coaches really, in fact
my most recent purchase can be seen briefly (well the roof anyway) behind
the 08, a stove 6 wheeler, too clean though, needs weathering :wink:

Remarkable sights and sounds. All you need to do is add some coal smoke and diesel fumes!

A short video to finish off the year, before the Christmas Festivities begin :)
