Hi Thanks for the comment. I have completed the final part of the series but have had problems uploading it. I shall keep trying so pleasee keep viewing
Well spotted, my other hobby. I have the keyboard (Yahama dx21), Drum machine (Alesi) and a 4 track recorder/mixer I played in various bands for many years and still like composing stuff Regards Ken
Just watched this yet AGAIN !! It's a brilliant series, and very informative, and a handy reference. One point - did I see a piano keyboard in this clip??
Just watched your series again Ken, this is an invaluable reminder for all regarding your hints and tips and looking how you've done things. Great Sunday afternoon viewing! Better than what's on the TV!
Hi Ken. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely layout with us, it's great to see someone who doesn't simply buy their layout from the model shop. Just like your set-up, my layout will never be fully finished, but the fun is in the building of your own little world. I grew up in the westcountry in the 50's, and your layout brings forth many happy memories. Keep up the good work, & I'm looking forward to the next installment.
Hi Ken, thanks very much for sharing your model railway layout with us. It's lovely to see someone who hasn't just gone & spent a fortune in the local model shop on ready made items, but, who through his own ingenuity, has created such a super layout. My layout, as with all, will never really be 'finished', but the enjoyment is in developing & improving it. Keep it up Ken, you are an inspiration to us all.
Well done Ken! What a lovely example of someone who is happy with his layout, and I must say, you are doing a super job. I grew up in the late 50's & 60's in the west country and your layout brings back many happy memories. Just like you, I dont think my layout will ever be 'finished', but thats half the fun of it! Finally, it's lovely to see someone who hasn't simply gone & spent a fortune at the model shop, but has still created a wonderful layout. Keep it up!
Fabulous Ken. Well done - incidentally In my opinion the hardboard cleaner idea is probably the best around. I believe it was done extensively by the Torquay Model Railway Club many years ago to excellent effect. (By the way it's a good idea also to re-wheel the wagon with "top-hat" bearings to avoid wear on the plastic axle boxes due to the added weight). Very good series thanks for posting. Rob
Hi Jeremy Thanks for the comment. I used a Canon Ixus Digital Camera for my clips but the quality is not great. I shall be using a Canon DVD Camcorder in future although loading the DVD on to the hard drive is problematic but the quality is superb. Whatever option you choose remember to keep the camera still, avoid to much panning but most of all enjoy it!!!
hi ken,jez here again. just wondered what type of camera you have used to film? im thinking about uploading my first video of my n gauge under construction! i have a couple of options for filming, but wondered how a mature chap like yourself did it? kind regards jeremy
Fantastic to see your update ken. since i wrote to you last ive been to model rail scotland with my club exibiting our new 00 layout based on eastgate gardens, somewhere up here in scotland? i used to live in gosport. hampshire.
Ive just ripped up and layed another track in my n gauge layout and having lots of enjoyment from the hobby. great to see your still playing trains mate. all the best jeremy
Hi Thanks for the comments. Nice to hear that you are in a club. I'm a lone modeller myself but I enjoy the creative side of the hobby and wallow in nostalgia. Good luck to you and all your fellow club members Regards Ken
Not really any questions, oh there is one. What tpe of point motor do you use, and also what type of track do you use, hornby? peco? if peco what code (if oyu know)
You model railway is brilliant. I am doing mine up at the minute, so hopefully mine will be better soon.
Wow i'm so pleased to see this awesomely amazing model railway. You've done a good job and i like your new controller. Finally Part 6 is here i'm pleased to be commenting on it when this video is only an hour old. I'll look forward to seeing Part 7 soon.
brilliant vid the layout looks very detailed. i will get the t9 in southern green. i am just waiting for wire then i can finish the point motors. **5 **s

@waldenhouse Hi Many thanks for the comments especially the track cleaning van.
I must confess that I have copied it from somewhere and that various modifications are necessary but all in good time. Good luck with your modelling
Regards Ken
