When the inevitable arrives, there has to be a final howrah with multiple locomotives & stock running on all the lines. It's been a great joy to watch the layout & for you to share it with us all, so i say thank you for the last 4 years & wish you all the best in the new beginning
The layout will feature for a bit longer yet. I hope you enjoy the upcoming running. Best regards to you
Fab Models Indeed, Lord Westwood looks as Good today as when it was first played with I bet - Just Brilliant 👍🏻
Thank you Donni, I think the Lord Westwood will be on the layout for a bit. All the best to you
Playing with old models keeps you entertained for a long time and can never get tired of it.
Fantastic video as always
That's what I find too, these older items provide huge enjoyment. Thanks for looking, best regards to you
There are very few channels that make me drop what I'm doing and watch without interruption. Not sure I can iterate why, but there's always a Xmas eve feeling of anticipation...
Thanks for your very kind comment, it's great to hear you enjoy seeing the items and the running. Take care, all the best to you
Lovely locomotives. It was your channel and Oscar’s that got me really in to Tri-ang. I realised what I loved doing was the simple maintenance, trying to fix things and running trains, I really was not interested in ballasting track etc
I have yet to get into the scenery and ballasting . I enjoy the fun these older items provide. Thanks for looking. Take care
Another really enjoyable video Mr Snooze. Sorry to hear that the layout is to be dismantled but hope that the new one will be even better. And you’re right a lot of the fun is in servicing and maintaining the trains! All the best.
I just had to give the Lord Westwood a quick clean of the brushes and commutator, it's back in action now. All the best to you
I would love grandson Hugo to see the layout before it goes into storage. In the interest of not stereotyping his sister I bought her a train set. She quite enjoyed it but preferred to drive her model cars around the base map but Hugo instantly loved it and goes and gets it to ask his dad to set it up. Whoever said boys and girls aren’t intrinsically different hasn’t had children 😆
I do agree Nick, It's interesting watching them grow up each with their different interests. Take care, all the best to you
Hi MR Snooze, really enjoyed your video as always. I know how you feel, I moved house 4 years ago, I stripped my layout down. It took me one and a half years before I could run my trains again. But I now have a big layout in my attic & I run 5 trains at once. I really hope you end up in the same boat. I really enjoy your channel all the best. Carl.
It sounds like you have built a great layout there Carl. Thanks for looking, all the best to you
Loved these Hornby Railways boxes with black insert and white lined image of loco . I remember the fuss created with the purists when they released the red Hall . That’s a great catalogue , by the way , great illustrations in front piece and the layouts in the back pages including a superb loco shed scene . As a little boy I studied that for hours . Nice running ad usual . Love playing trains . Shame you have to move the railway . Wish you luck with that
Thanks for looking, I am enjoying the Lord Westwood, I shall run it a bit more. Take care, all the best to you
Excellent stuff. There was an early 70s version of the Polly to run alongside the Lord Westwood. It was the same red with a telephone number and a silver dome (from the Lord of the Isles).
I'm sure I have this little engine around but as of yet I can't seem to find it. I think it looks good with the shiny dome. Best regards to you
I also prefer old fashioned model trains. I live in Italy so I'm on HO with a collection of old Lima, Jouef, Piko locomotives, with an X04 powered Hornby acHO tank engine representing my link to all things British. I also enjoy maintenance and mechanisms.
There are some excellent items from those other manufacturers, I bet you enjoy running them. Take care, all the best to you
Lovely running today from one scale model and two toy trains. Polly seemed to be in a rush but lord Westwood and the City of Birmingham were sedately running through the Super 4 landscape and making me drowsy. ( A good thing.) I must say that it came as a bit of a shock to hear that the layout is now in the way of progress but as one that has visited I do understand the circumstances that have brought you to this point. You have gathered a great following over the past 5 years and I'm sure most of us look forward to seeing what the channel holds in store. All the best to you and I hope to talk to you and see you again soon.
Regards, David.
Thanks for looking David, I miss not getting more time at the layout. I hope things are going well at yours. Take care, all the best to you
Hi, lovely to see, my friend got a Polly with a brass dome today lol. Really sorry to hear of the problems 😮 hope it's nothing too serious and that you have the layout back up and running soon. However I love your technical videos so will be tuning in as often as possible
Hello Mike, I'm always interested when you show the maintenance of the newer items. Your layout always looks so good in your videos and I like the speed you run your locos. Take care, all the best to you
@@MrSnooze thanks very kindly
Another interesting rolling stock running video - I look forward to your next installment. Regards, Philip
Thank you for watching the video. Best regards to you
Another great video sorry to hear u be dismantling the layout been watching your videos since lockdown hope it wont be long before u can build a new one
I'm sure things will move along in the most hectic way. It will be interesting to see what happens. Best regards to you
Thoroughly enjoy your channel mr snooze . It will be sad day when the big layout goes but will still look forward to seeing what you get up to next. And thank you for the mention i better add to my channel now. Take care and all the best, cheers bob .
Good to hear from you Bob, keep running the Tri-ang, best regards to you
Your Lord Westward is certainly gleaming nicely, almost as if you’ve just walked out of the shop back in the 70’s with it. I do like the little 0-4-0 industrial locomotives they have such great character, I’ve got the blue one with gold lining inspired by the SD&JR railway livery it’s a great little runner.
Your version of the 0-4-0 is really nice. I think I ran one a while ago. Take care, all the best to you
I will miss watching your layout when you stop using it? I hope that you will still be making videos when the time is available? I hope that moving to a new location is not to bad, in fact, I HOPE IT OPENS NEW HORIZONS FOR YOU?.. Thank you for all of the great information that you have already passed on to us all.. I love running the older Tri-ang trains, so it was nice to know that others enjoyed it also.. Take care till next time..
Thanks for the excellent positive comment, We have to keep these older items alive and well. Take care, all the best to you
Another great session on the magnificent Super 4 layout.
I recently acquired a BR Black 0-4-0 Industrial Tank but haven't found the green model yet.
Thanks for the Shout out. Much appreciated.
It will be a shame to see your layout go.
Good luck with your plans to downsize.
Happy Modelling
Mon
I bet you will have a lot of fun with that Black 0-4-0. Best regards to you
Evening Mr Snooze, what a coincidence just come down from the loft after servicing 3 Polly types, so I ran one of the black Polly type with some of my red and white roof coaches,4 just like in the video, it pulls with no effort at all, it's all fun, John
These little engines are some of the best Tri-ang models. Take care and thanks for looking
Good to see another video, and big news with the move ,what a great running session with those two lovely old locomotives, plenty of live in those .
All the best Martin
Hello Martin, thanks for looking, I'm looking forward to catching up with your newest videos soon. Take care, all the best to you
Hello again.
I wish you well in your relocation project and really hope you manage to achieve it. May I suggest you film the dismantling process? OOBill did it recently, and it was very well received and fascinating. There's a huge volume of content on building a railway, but very little on how to dismantle one.
Watching you performing maintenace etc on your fleet will be interesting too.
I was recently warching a video featuring a very modern layout, and the presenter was eulogising about DCC Concepts' PowerBase product, which consists of steel plates to place under nickel track and magnets to fit to the locos.
I couldn't resist commenting that this technology was old hat, as it is a throwback to steel Super 4 track & Triang Hornby Magnadesion in the locos.
It seems there is indeed nothing new under the sun...
It is amazing what a bit of assistance from a magnet does to haulage power. I shall definitely record the careful dismantling when it occurs. Best regards to you
Sorry to hear you’ll have to dismantle your lovely layout. It has given hours of entertainment to many of us, and has been partially responsable for me getting my current Dublo 3-rail project off the ground. Hope the reasons for the move are not too serious. Anyway I will continue to support the channel and look forward to seeing your future projects. All the very best to you Mr S!
Rob
PS if you have an e-mail for the channel I’d be happy to send some photos of the 3-rail layout. It’s not your usual "perfect table top railway" tail-chaser. Í’m trying to do something a little different…
Thanks for looking Rob. You layout sounds great. info@snoozevideo.co.uk is my e-mail. Best regards to you
@@MrSnooze thanks Mr S. I’ll be in touch 😊
Those Wrenn locos are around 50 years, & the box & inner box are in that good condition?
I think it's down to the quality of the boxes and the fact they have been stored in the dark and dry. Thanks for looking, best regards to you
Much to say but not here. All the best Jonathan.
Two other channels are 'The Third Rail' which treats Marklin much as you treat Triang &C.; and 'Marklin of Sweden' who has a slightly different approach. And anyone interested in clocks and brilliance, I keep pointing to 'youtube clickspring'.
Take care of your back while moving, and don't worry about posting. Your viewers are not going anywhere.
All the best to you and Mrs. Snooze. Imagine marrying into a name like that... Hmmm?
Good to hear from you Pete, I will hopefully keep you up to date with events. Take care and all the best to you
