Congratulations! I’ve loved seeing Yarslow come along after discovering the channel at the tail end of the old layout! Here’s some ideas for bitsize bits: Operational: - pickup goods in BR days (history and demonstration). - shunting, what locos, why and where? - locomotives of Yarslow. - terminus station operations.

Congratulations on the growth of the channel. It's nice to see a channel that uses this platform for sharing knowledge rather than plugging 3rd party options where monetary subscriptions are involved. One topic that is often overlooked is correct semaphore signalling, so maybe that is something that could be researched and covered for your layout ?

A video on semaphore signals - where to place them and why - would be nice. I understand the distant and home signal set up, but junction signaling gets a bit confusing. Great channel by the way - enjoyed your info on realistic operation of goods traffic.

Hi Barry, Good to see the growth of the channel, you are obviously doing things that people want to see and learn about. I see that I am not the only one interested in signalling. I think that this could make several bite size videos for example:- 1.Basics - homes starters and distants etc., 2.Junctions 3.Shunting and calling-on/backing signals 4.Ground signals and when to use them rather than conventional semaphores. Operational concepts would make another good subject - covering things like sequence operation versus timetable operation, and perhaps the 'railway day' - what trains run when from midnight to midnight - starting with overnight long distance freights and parcels and long distance passengers/sleepers through the morning rush with suburbans and school trains on to daytime pickups and local trip goods workings mixed with local and express passengers through to the afternoon/evening rush and the despatch of the long distance overnight freights and passengers, then you could look at mixing in specials both freight (market day cattle and fish and seasonal fruit etc) and passengers and engineering/permanent way trains. The differences between weekday and Saturday and Sunday workings could also be covered I think there will be plenty of other ideas from viewers to keep you busy for a long time. Keep up the good work Jon

You could do literally anything that helps people understand the fascinating complexities of real-world railway operation before the digital age... and how that prototype can be interpreted from the modelling perspective. I'm sure there are many modellers who want to get closer to prototypical operation, without becoming too nerdy about it, just looking at ways to go a few steps beyond their childhood trainsets, increasing "play value" and appreciation of what a fantastic system Britain's railways once were. You are genuinely earning your subscribers' interest with this thoughtful content! PS I thought this video was going to be about making authentic BR sandwiches for the buffet cars - so glad it was a more substantial idea than that!

You described my experience perfectly, I found your video on sidings and since have subscribed and have been going through your previous content. A topic idea is break van use and movement, why were they sometimes also at the head of the train. When, why and how many wagons could be added to the end of the break van and storage and movement in the yard, we’re they pushed onto a formed train of wagons or were the wagons pushed onto it? Thanks for the content.

I am a new subscriber. Some very interesting topics have been covered which will keep me busy while I view them all. Re new suggested topics, do the weights of model trains (locos, carriages, wagons etc) relate in any way to real life. Weights seem to be all over the place depending on manufacturer. I believe in the USA they have some sort of weight to length relationship for model trains and weights can be added to make up the difference

Having covered the basic headcodes - how about shorts delving into each specific headcode, typical range of locomotives, service types, for freight the generic consist. Signal box operations - how does boxA know when to set the distant signal to clear for boxB's block, or is it controlled by boxB? Facing point locks - how do they work?

I have no interest in becoming a rivet counter, but I do have areas of ignorance that I'd like to clear up. They're usually small things such as what order should I put my passenger carriages in? Which loco's would usually haul what? In which areas of the country/railway system would one expect to see the different railway companies' trains operating? These things can no doubt be found in books and on the internet, but I'm not always sure where to look and anyway I'm not sure I have the time to do huge amounts of research. I have a layout to build and I'm not getting any younger. Maybe you could focus some short videos on simple questions like these? Just a thought...

Bit Size is a great concept IMHO. A suggestion - Terminus attached Loco depot operation and hence the layout features that need to be included. Looking forward to the next video ‘update’ too. Happy Modelling. T🚂

I've only recently discovered your channel, and I've really enjoyed learning about how things used to work on the railways. I would be interested in the prototypical operation of stations and goods yards. Such as rules on how trains switch tracks or cross tracks to access goods yards and carriage sidings, or to just turn around. How big did a station have to be to have a pilot/ shunter, and what did they do? How trucks were shunted an how many sidings were used/ required? Types of goods sent on trians? Was mail and parcels sent on passenger trains or special mail trains?

Here's a question... At 3:13 we see a lovely shot of D16/3 E2524 hauling a horse box train, complete with accommodation on the rear. While I consider myself very knowledgeable on the diesel-era I am a novice really with steam and I'm wondering about the E number. I originally thought numbers like that were reserved for departmental locos used as train heating boilers and the like, but apparently not as I can find comments of locos working passenger trains, etc. Did it just mean 'Eastern Region' in a time before renumbering, when I presume the GWR probably had a loco with the same number?

Hi. My research suggests that, after nationalisation in 1948, prior to the LNER locos being numbered in the 60000 series, they were renumbered with a prefix "E". This, apparently, didn't last long - and my sources may be misleading me. They might have passed into Departmental use at that stage (the D16/3's were withdrawn 1945-60). I have tried to represent a number of trains from my chosen period 1958-1963 and chose this as an early example - perhaps too early!! A simple renumbering job, replacing the E with a 6 would cure it.

@@yarslowmodelrailway1 thank you for taking the time to confirm this. My mind was obviously playing tricks with me regarding letters being used for departmental locos at the time as apparently the ER used two digit numbers instead.

I suppose my choice would be a cheese sandwich which would not leave me in a pickle. Enjoying the channel. Very impressed with the DC control system that you designed and implemented. How about a work-up where an 'order' for a goods train is received at the yard manager's desk and how the wagons would be selected and their sequencing. Perhaps the train would be made up of empty wagons then go on to various industrial areas to load up with oil and fertilizer, and other items, then break up as it drops wagons at different locations.

I have just purchased an Ender3v2 3d printer and looking at making parts for my LandCruiser and it dawned on me that I could also make parts for train sets and many other scale models etc... I am in Melbourne Australia, I love your channel and have subbed to it a little while ago as I am a keen train set person, I'm more about the trains than the scenery personally tho.

Hi I do not have a 3D printer but we are lucky to have a number of good "cottage industry" producers here in the UK like West Wagon Works who produce loads of little bits that the major manufacturers dont do. The key, of course, is decent CAD files and a colleague who does have a printer says that there are loads of files out there in the Freeverse which are basically unprintable. No doubt, in time, things will improve !
