Thanks so much Roy ! I can't tell you how much I look forward to your videos every week, you make me smile and i am sure you bring joy to many others too , much appreciated always
Good morning Roy. Thanks for the photos. Off to the last train show of the year (yes we did them, total of 4). Plenty of young enthusiast and smiling faces!
Good morning, Craig. It's a real pleasure to share the photos with you. I think December is the best time of year to go to a train show. Have fun! ...Roy
As always thank you Roy. Videos are now starting to be a way of life for me as my modelling days due to health are down to about 2-3 hours a week. Regards, Bob
It's always a pleasure, Bob. Health certainly can be a big constraint in model railroading, but thanks to videos, we can at least enjoy the hobby vicariously. Take care, my friend. ...Roy
Absolutely, a great big thanks to the many people who shared their layouts with the rest of us. Sharing the hobby is one of the best things about model railroading. ...Roy
Ha! Bartholomew, Leonor's Nativity scene is si big that I think it would be easier to put my layout on IT. I told her that the scene needs some trains running through it. Let's see if I can include it in a video. She's working on the scene right now. ...Roy
Hi Roy, great update & great layout photos of many model railroad layouts. I took a few pictures of the train under the Christmas tree some of which need to be retaken & some turned out nice. My freight car inventory is now at 82 cars, 2 cabooses,2 freight locomotives-1 Santa Fe & 1 Southern Pacific. The Southern Pacific EMD SD70M flat radiator is pulling 17 freight cars & the Southern Pacific bay window caboose when I run the freight under the Christmas tree.
Hi ya Roy. Lots of wonderful layouts. You got a shout from William A. In his last video. You inspired him, in regards your gimbal. He showed his off. Great stuff. Thanks. See ya next time.
Hello there, Norman! I'll have to check out what Steve A. has done. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. A number of people have decided to buy and try gimbals for filming their trains and layouts. I think it's exciting and fun to see how we can improve our videos, using new technology. ...Roy
@@n-scaleunionpacificevansto6569 ……….Sorry Roy, that is William A. not Steve A. I edited the original comment when I realized it. That’s what happens when you follow a lot of CZcamsrs.
@@normanrowe2831 Aha, thanks, Norman. I've seen and commented on William A.'s video. He's given me permission to use a clip frim in my next gimbal video. ...Roy
Always nice to see so many great layouts. Being still fairly new, it can be frustrating when a problem in construction, wiring, etc slows or even stops your progress. I need some inspiration through photos of layouts still in basic construction. Those more or less completed ones are the goal, but so many of us are still in the 'struggle' phase. So those of you out there, PLEASE send some photos of "under construction " layouts.
Thanks Roy for sharing all those photos that's always fun to look at them. I like your photo the best, LOL hope you had a nice Christmas and a happy new year. Gary
I've got to thank you, Roy - much inspired by your videos I've recently ordered my first new model trains in about 15 years. I can't say I expect to have any layout photos to post any time soon, but I've decided that when I am able to model in earnest, it will be the Keikyū and Municipal Subway lines in Yokohama, Japan - centring on Kamiōoka and Kanazawa-bunko stations. Kamiōoka is a station I used many times myself in the past, while Kanazawa-bunko is interesting for operations as 8- and 4-car multiple units serving the more rural southern extremities of the Keikyū network are coupled there into 12-car trains for the run through the dense urban areas of Yokohama, Kawasaki and southern Tokyo. I don't know yet whether I'll model both stations or possibly conflate them into a single, fictional one, but I'm excited to see what I can achieve and, above all, to play with some trains. Thanks a lot for the inspiration, Roy!
Sammie, I guess model railroading is 90 percent inpiration and 10 percent perspiration. It's a pleasure to share the hobby with you. Thanks for sharing your progress. ...Roy
Thanks for the photo's Roy - this is always one of my favorite pieces of yours... I'm up to 62 names of (IMHO) exceptional modelers I'd love to see more of! Is there any chance of getting people to include a YT channel or website name if they have one? Oh, and as to the gimbal, maybe you could do some trackside train pacing? (As opposed to the drone views.) We never really get to see your layout from this perspective - and I bet it would look awesome!!! Great work!👍
"Your Layout Photos" has always been the most popular segment of Dispatch, my friend. Glad you like it! I certainly can invite people to share the link to their website or channel, and then see what happens. Thanks for your suggestion regarding trackside views with the gimbal. I'll give it a try in upcoming videos. ...Roy
Hey Roy, Have a question that’s unrelated to the video. I have the Kato double track feeders, I have around 7 on my helix, the issue is every time a loco goes over them they derail, it doesn’t matter which loco, all different sizes they jump the track, and I notice a space under the double feeder, it’s not sitting directly on the plywood, I have had issues with derailments before with the normal double track straights, do you know of anything I could be doing wrong? Do I have to put a different piece before and after the piece of double track? It’s really annoying, just dropped 200$ on feeders and feeling like I’m screwed!
Thanks for bringing back the old music!! It's such a happy tune and reminds me of the fun I have watching your videos.
Yes, indeed, Basil, I brought it back by popular request, and I'm glad I did. Thanks for watching. ...Roy
Thanks so much Roy ! I can't tell you how much I look forward to your videos every week, you make me smile and i am sure you bring joy to many others too , much appreciated always
Thank you so much, Don. I really, really appreciate your very nice comment. It's a genuine pleasure to share the hobby with you. ...Roy

I've been absent for several months. It's great to see your videos again, Roy!
Welcome back, Jeffry. It's always a pleasure to share the hobby with you. ...Roy
Lots of very nice layouts. I do like that you take the time to do this. Thanks for sharing, David
Doing this is a pleasure, David. Thanks for your comment. ...Roy
Sorry I've been away for a while. So nice to see your videos and get caught up again! Keep up the good work.
Thanks, Tim. Welcome back. ...Roy

Awesome dispatch, loaded with great photos! Thank you roy for sharing!
Thanks, Ian. So many wonderful people post photos of their layouts. It's a pleasure to share their photos with you. ...Roy
Perhaps you can film Leonor as she puts her
Nativity scene on your layout for Christmas!

Thanks for your comment, Andy. I think "inspiration" is the main reason for the layout photos. ...Roy
Lots of great stuff.
I agree, my friend. It's always a pleasure to share the photos that other people have posted. ...Roy
I have been filming with Gimbals for a few years. They turn the most amateur of us into professional video takers.
You're absolutely right about gimbals, my friend. Thanks for your comment. ...Roy
Hey!! Who stuck that pic of Roy Smith's layout in??!!
Playing with your new "toy", are ya, Roy? Busted!!
Yeah, Kee, that's what I'd like to know. Who stuck that pic in there? Somebody's messing around with my videos. ...Roy
