Hi Everyone…. Due to life getting in the way it’s been a while since I uploaded an update video. Hopefully things are settling down now and I will be able to get back to doing a few more regular videos.
By way of catching up, this video is a bit of a mixed bag and I have tried my best to fit a lot into it.
Firstly I show a few additions to the workbench kit, starting with the new Roku streaming device for the tv. It’s up and running and excellent for YouTube while working on my models. I also show my new rechargeable wireless soldering iron. It’s great for the small intricate jobs on locos.
Next is the first of the additions to the fleet. These are a rake of six ho wagons from Electrotren. I got these at a bargain price (£30) brand new off eBay.
I point out the great ‘Jewel case’ packaging and ask the question, seeing as Electrotren is owned by Hornby, why don’t we get such packaging in this country.
Next we go into the train room and I run rakes of new Dapol Freightliner hopper wagons, as well as Accurascale British Steel covered wagons and a pair of Accurascale KUA Nuclear Flask wagons.
All absolutely lovely pieces of kit and great upgrades to my fleet.
I then take some time to discuss a change in my approach to the layout and the change from a Heritage Railway model to essentially a training layout, where I can learn and improve my modelling skills, but at the same time do what I love best have fun just modelling and running trains.
The last section of the video I update you on the latest phase of the scenery build.
If that lot is not enough Ive also included a couple of short running sessions. All in 22 mins or so.
I hope you enjoy the video and would love to hear any comments on the subjects covered.
Regards … Steve ????
