There used to be 2 gas towers about 400 yrds from where I stayed in cambuslang near Glasgow , one was blue & the other was green.
Another excellent update, Dave. The gasometer is spot on!
whats the height difference of the accurascale mk2s compared to mk1 and other vehicles this is a big issue on the bachmann ones
Hi Dave, a good update on the layout, as a youth (50 something years ago), I worked with a uncle on a milk round (the canteen & offices were delivered to), we delivered to Romford Gas Works, I was first surprised at the number of brick buildings and number of pipes with walls around them! some 30 year later I worked for Yara delivering furtizer, at two of the storage plants Bristol & Dagenham docks they had riveted storage tanks (these were pre WW2, after which they were all welded). Also when Omex took the oil depot at Ipswich over they had to change all the valves, screw shut off points, from brass/alloy to steel as the fertilizer dissolved the metals, brass or alloy was used due no sparks. On naming the Peak, its your railway it looks right so what is wrong? I can remember seeing a exhibition layout were all the locos, wagons & carriages were painted by hand using Humbrol oil paint by brush in lates say very original colours.
I love the videos Mr Watson/Dave. Itâs really cool seeing whatâs inside some of the trains and the boards, and quite nice how you build stuff
Overall good update here Dave, some great things covered, the new accurascale mk2s look quite nice, might be something I add in the future though as currently I made more than enough mk2 coaches plus Iâm currently on the lookout for other models right now, mainly wagons, that overhead catenary looks quite good, maybe something I will try in the future also as I would like to try doing an overhead line when I can start building a layout, overall a good job on the 45, while I will admit Iâm not a huge fan of fictional locomotives in OO gauge I can overlook something that relates to the layout and having a loco named after your layout is certanly a good idea, overall some great things in this update Dave, keep up the great work.
Another great update the peak looks fantastic
Gasometer weathering looks just right. On your headspans i think it would be a shame to remove them as they are an iconic element of 1980s electrification on a very tight budget. However as you mentioned you don't need to make a decision just yet.
another great video of a great layout
Tangent from trains: A lot of web devs I follow do the reaction face, does it work? Only asking because I run an event company and wondered if this will help boost my engagement.
As always a very enjoyable and informative video Dave.
I'm looking forward to seeing the full range of WHWW portals as I model the west coast mainline and will soon be at the point of fitting OHLE.
Thanks again
Steve
I agree about the bachmann peaks I think the shape is bang on
Great video Dave, Im a relative modeller so this may be a silly question, the Gas Tanks look great, being HO do they look our of place on a OO layout.
Brilliant video
Looking forward to your future video on fitting the brass snow ploughs to your Bachmann 37s. I feel this is something I should attempt for my two, but worry that I would exceed my weekly sweary word quota in minutes!
Dave itâs always great to catch up on all the new developments at Dean Park. No9 really sounds good. Really takes the model to the next level. If I hadnât already gone down the Hornby HM7000 sound route for my Dublo A4 & A3 this would definitely be my choice too. The Mk2 coaches really are the dogâs pyjamas. Iâve got the WCRC liveried coaches which look great behind Scotsman & No9. I can highly recommend them to you. Youâre right to highlight the improvement in the magnetic couplings & the onboard lighting. Having had a demo of the WHWW catenary at Model Rail Scotland Iâm now really looking forward to seeing the final product. Interestingly, the WHWW guys were keen to know if I would use wires. They know their stuff and highlighted the difficulty in producing a correct scale wire. I think Iâm likely to not bother with the wire and trust my failing eyesight to trick me into thinking theyâre there.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much Dave for this great update and the amazing news regarding OHLE and the links! I've just ordered all the track for my first layout in 36 years, it will be based on the WCML south of Birmingham circa early 80s. Nearly all the motive power is now available, I have even ordered an essential Britannia Pacific Class 310. My biggest concern has always been the correct knitting so this is very positive news. Now my only concern is the post as I'm doing it all in Thailand!
Great video mate
Nice mix of stuff, all interesting Dave. Alex is a good guy and has done a great job on âDean Parkâ
Ugh. You too infected with the illness of idiotic expression thumbnails? How is this such a pervasive thing?
Another great video Dave. That weathering on the peak looks great , love the Dean Park name plate
Super video, Dave, and your weathering on the gasometer kit is most excellent. The WHWW OHLE looks just the part for modern era layouts especially, as you say, with the proliferation of some excellent models – I was delighted to learn from them at Model Rail Scotland that us 'N' gauge folk won't be left out and that they'll introduce the same items in N once the 'OO' has undergone its full launch.
Gas tower looks ace. Very reminiscent of the ones at the M80 / M8 junction in Glasgow, throw back to my childhood. đ I think it would look good if the other one is at a different level. Great video as always. Cheers, John.
That's gasometer looks fantastic with the weathering.
The ohl looks the part, had a quick look at Glasgow but didn't get chance speak to them. Is the a rough due date for them
excellent
Really cool đ
Dave, I've enjoyed your videos for some time now, while I begin work on my own layout. My current plans are to build a small layout in the garage but I wondered whether the loft might be a more suitable location. I note in the recent videos, the excellent lighting and insulated cladding and, in searching some of the earlier videos, that these weren't fitted. Have you done a video on developing the loft to accommodate your layout? If so, could you point me at it? Thanks
Keep your scratchbuilt Headspans Dave. The goods loop would be electrified, even though it's little used.
A long awaited and brilliant update – so many good additions going in. Thanks for showing us.
Regards
Steve
Those catenary look spot on shall keep an eye on those from west hill, only thing i have left to do, thanks for uploading atb phil @ charlemont parkway
Nice update video. Does the close coupling of the mk2s cause any issues on points or 2nd radius curves?
Another interesting and fantastic video Dave. Really enjoy your layout updates and love a general running session video just to see about the layout and seeing your different rolling stock and locos running.
Awesome update Dave!! Many thanks fro sharing this video! Cheers Onno.
The new overhead wires look great and really robustâŚhowever I do think you should keep the ones you made yourself in somewhere given the amount of time you probably spent on them. Look forward to seeing more of no9 running around your layout
As a 90s West Coaster, I can't wait to see the full OHLE range. It looks well thought out and easy to construct.
Darrenbury Central HI love the gas holder. Just a thought on over head lines you could get a spool of Pike fishing wire trace line it's metal v thin . Enjoy the shows. Tatty bi
Great video as always Dave, love the gas cylinders (the weathering in particular) and the OHLE, this looks like it'll be a superb range once it is in stock
James
The paintwork on the gasometer looks great. I'm old enough to remember we had 2 near where we lived but they seemed much larger than the one you have.
Maybe there are different sizes based on usage volumes or perhaps it's that I was a kid and everything seemed larger.đ
Excellent update. Cheers!
Thanks for another great video. The Accurascale coaches look excellent and nice weathering on the 45. That gas storage tank is very interesting, I really like the weathering paint job you've done, Cheers, all the best.
Personally I think you should keep the headspan style OHLE as thatâs more prototypical of the ECML electrification. Loved the weathering on the 45, great model.
Great update Dave, the layout is really coming alone, and the new additions will only add to the atmosphere.
Instead of taking the whole wall out to accommodate the masts, why not cut the wall where the masts are going to be placed and build a bay wall around them. just an idea.
You have an incredible layout, great skills and techniques. Your videos are much appreciated.đ
The layout is really looking great now.
nice video. That gas tower looks really nice. If you are going to put it in a tight spot, and still want more of them, you could take a photo of the finished kit, in the correct lighting and print it. Put the cutout behind or next to the gas tower and voila you got an impressive industrial site. I have done that with walters cementsilos and could double that building without using mores space. Thanks for the video !
Great update as usual Dave. You have the only Hornby A4 i need, i assume it is a Great Gathering example ? Struggling to find one, but Iâm sure one will turn up ! Loved the sound fitment piece you did on it, it sounds great and Iâm tempted now to add sound into one of my own. Just a question. Your attention to detail has always grasped my attention and you will give anything a go, however you seem to give the weathering to someone else to do. Donât you fancy it ? That said, the weathered Peak looks fantastic. Keep it coming Dave. Great stuff
