Model Train Layout Construction Video Two Thomas And Friends

The second in several videos showing my Model Train Layout Under Construction. I will be posting updates as the work progresses. This update shows some starting works on scenery, platform etc, an example or 2 of my passing loop points in operation and also some more of the locomotives I have purchased.
I also have a blog/diary on: http://tinyurl.com/DwarfboysimBlog that I will be updating with pictures and information.
Feel free to take a look.

Fantastic layout, really fascinating to watch. One thing.......aren't the lamp irons the wrong way up? Don' they get pushed through from underneath?

[Dwarfboysim]

@Iggymcpig hmmm will have to look into that one.

@hedrjosh fence?

[Dwarfboysim]

@nerfreak01 nice spot :)

[Dwarfboysim]

@KaTzaNdSTuFf  this is true but I do like the detail on the Hornby Loco's :)

[KaTzaNdSTuFf]

Hmm. Hornby looks cool but I think I would prefer Bachmann since they stay true to the original design.

[nerfreak01]

@ThePichuThunder these are hornby i think

[ThePichuThunder]

I wish I had bachman trains :(

[hedrjosh]

That is one nice fence.

[thecrazykidz852]

are they are dcc or dc comand

[Dwarfboysim]

@TrackMaster555 not sure exactly what the grade percentage is. I will have to measure it. We kept it as gentle as we could to ensure most the trains could make it up.

@luke9620 Thanks

@evilin1956 Thanks

@yousifbolt probably won't put sheds around it as the turntable is there more to just rotate the Engines. Looking at putting some Engine Sheds into the yard area.

[Dwarfboysim]

@yousifbolt on all my Tender Engines except Emily the chip goes in the Tender. The Emily loco has the chip on the main loco itself. I have heard rumours of Hornby re-doing all the locos and moving the drive engine into the main loco and then the chip would go in there as well.

@TheNerfistKidzWeNo  hopefully soon have had to move the layout from the Family Room to the Garage. Also having to work out a way to winch it up to to roof so the cars can still get in the Garage as well.

[TheNerfistKidzWeNo]

When's the next update mate? I can't wait to see it. Hopefully Diesel will get a chance at the spotlight.
