stewart

[howarth004]

@hollpoll thanks Stewart, I enjoyed your oldies of Corrie,

[ADMIRALSCORNER]

Just popped in for another look Dave. Its easier for me to enjoy your railway than go up into the loft when its cold here!

[howarth004]

@ADMIRALSCORNER Always welcome Mike, just got back from Weston , been down there for 5 days, with a visit to Bath, Wells, Cheddar Gorge, and Bristol., SS. Great Britton

[gtacrusher123]

realy great 3 years ago it was just a baseboard with track i also had it like yours about 3 years ago but never got round to detailing it

[howarth004]

@gtacrusher123 Thanks, yes once I got started I got carried away

[gtacrusher123]

@howarth004 well the reason is because it was covered in austin summerset parts for a year after the table was put up then we layed the track then it got covered up again in rubish and the draws got stuck with my trains left in there untill this winter and just this weekend we did some clearing out in the garrage so more stuf back on the table but i did some clearing out myself (got all my trains out and took them in storage in my room)

[2009trains]

[1964mikem]

Hi Dave,

Another super video, you just have to love the sound of a class 37 pulling away. Very nice clip at the end, from such humble beginnings, who would have believed that just a short trip down the line would emerge a great layout.

Cheers,

Mike.

[howarth004]

@1964mikem Cheers Mike, yes I love that Throaty sound from the 37, as you say a lot has happened in 3 years including my bank account going down

[bobtoo07]

A great show as always..was interesting to see the early vid..cheers!

[howarth004]

@bobtoo07 thanks , thought it may inspire some who have just started, we all start from a basic railway.

[howarth004]

@Rbrownsell Thanks , WILL TAKE NOTE OF YOU SUGGETION,

[unkericha]

[howarth004]

Dave

[jmsschooner]

[howarth004]

@jmsschooner I have the peco switches , but some just do it manually

[jmsschooner]

can i ask what do u use to clean ur locomotives

[howarth004]

@jmsschooner Just clean with a clean piece of cloth, maybe use a bit of wd40 on the cloth

[jmsschooner]

great video dave

[howarth004]

@jmsschooner thanks glad you liked it

[itgamer100]

[howarth004]

@itgamer100 Yes you are right , someone bought it for me , bit too modern , but begining to think all goes these days as you know there are some rolling stock out there. Thanks

Dave

Happy Easter to you also

[theLEGOcommander1]

great video mate :)

[howarth004]

@theLEGOcommander1 thanks ever so, I thought it was not as clear as normal , and it would not let me go to 720 HD , that could be youtube or poor signal coming through.

[xyontheallpowerful]

If only we could all have one like this!

[howarth004]

@xyontheallpowerful  If there is a will there is a way...Thanks

[karelfromholland]
