Love the water tower - is it scratch built, or a model? Great video.

[keytesofessex]

@waldenhouse  Its just a basic Ratio kit, with an added retaining wall.

i dont think my eyes can cope with the level of detail

[keytesofessex]

@36blackout

thank you for your comment.

Since the video was made we have done a lot more work on the scenery.

It now also has telegraph poles and wires amoung other things.

@keytesofessex Got a couple questions for you. How do you tell the British OO scale and American HO scale apart? And are they the same scale? It's driving me nuts trying to figure that out!!!

[keytesofessex]

HO is 3.5mm to the foot scale whilst OO is 4mm to the foot scale

[MrDLTP]

great sound for the 9f reminds of listening to them on ore trains between Northampton & Wellingboro on the old nene valley line....

[modelrailway100]

which 9f is better hornby's or bachmann's?

[keytesofessex]

@modelrailway100 in my own unbiased personal opinion its Bachmanns

[modelrailway100]

@keytesofessex thanks

[fulf1]

how do u weather all the rolling stock and the track and buildings?

[keytesofessex]

Usually with an airbrush

[simonsgl]

@fulf1 there are some extremely good weathering books available as well as other subjects such as landscaping and building locos. They will show you how to easily weather stuff to a standard as good as in this video. Highly recommended! I suggest going to the Warley Model Railway show at the NEC next month (November), you can buy books there... and youd love the show too!

[schlief101]

wow nice track and train.

[keytesofessex]

thank you very much

[Rdodo67]

hi, just wondering if the model's pulling capacity is as it shows on the clip? (ie no added weight or traction tyres?

Thanks for you videos!

[keytesofessex]

yes no extra weight, apart from weathering and adding the sound its straight from the box.

I think they are excellent ready to run pieces

[weaville]

Is this model on the exhibition circuit? If not, it should be!

[keytesofessex]

thank you for your comment - its actually our test track in our shop

[katiedave1098]
