After refurbishing the layout it took me two and a half hours just cleaning the track. The PVA glue seemed to adhere to the track and it took some shifting. It will take a while to fine tune the running of stock and iron out all those little problems that seem to develop once you do anything to the layout.

Some pictures of testing the layout with different eras of rolling stock.

Fantastic layout, they seem to be running well after the clean Kirley. I love the UTA dmu, the pocket wagons, and the steamer with the short goods. Great atmosphere and scenery. Would you recommend a particular cleaning agent or method for the track after carrying out work with glue etc? Thanks, Tommy.

Thanks Tommy, I start with the old tried and tested track rubber, then I finish off it a liquid cleaner, Goo Gone in a CMX cleaner wagon

Finished two tasks this week, well almost.

 

I had Weshty's Ground Signals for longer than I care to remember. Spent ages wiring micro LED's and I have placed 4 signals near the TMD, some are easier to spot than others, to make things harder they are not wired up yet.

The second task was to put up more shelves so as I could put all the rolling stock within easy reach. Unfortunately there are still stock in boxes after filling the shelves.

I did not intend for this video to be so long, over 6 mins. Please give me feedback on what would be a more comfortable length.

 

 

BTY this is what can happen if you forget to concentrate on what is happening on the tracks.

That's a shocking accident!!! Even the photographer and his tripod must have been knocked over by the derailment. The emergency services hadn't even arrived by the time you took the pic. :)

 

Seriously, enjoyed the video. Some lovely stock and I love your layouts back scenes. Did I notice intercity mk4 at 2m32secs? :)

The drone equivalent shot at 4:00 is excellent.

 

Great backgrounds and foliage Kieran, it really give sit that realistic feel. Love the lineside shot 3:02 as well.

 

Super stuff.

Thanks Guys for your comments, I think the 6mins + was a bit long and should have done some more editing.

 

Noel, that's the trouble with video, you can't edit out the bits that you did not mean to show. There are a lot more 'bits' that were not meant to appear.

CIE action in this video. Railcar B get an outing along with my new A Class. A few shots of it slow running for one member, finishing off with old reliable B141 and a small rake of coaches.
