Nice solid job would look good on a little shelf above the railway. Like the ruined Corfe Castle on the Swanage Railway it makes a good backdrop with the Castle overlooking the Railway. Brilliant video - cheers

Hi Alan. I think the Romans were in Britain somewhat earlier than when this castle was built. Lovely job, though. Well done.

Good man Allan, I must say I do like metcalfe models, they look good well though out and solid. Because of the nature of my layout, her indoors likes to have her dinning room back every so often.(yea I know selfish or what) so when the railway needs to go away all my buildings have to go away. They store in boxes under the stairs wrapped in bubble wrap and come out no problems, except for the odd chimney. Great looking model nicely build. Stay safe there see you on the next one Eddy xx

Hi Allan, A super video on the build letting us know what to look for but the only thing I thought was a bit funny was when you look at the windows the glass (plastic) goes over the stone work for the window frames were as in reality it would be behind I would think although i am not sure a building of this age would have glass at all but it still looks the business and will look great on the layout, when you were talking about the whole castle at 60 odd quid you could have mentioned that Mal has a complete one on his layout. Keep up the good work and what about trying this challenge I did tonight your layout is made for it. Keep well and safe and another Lockdown Short tomorrow. Cheers Robert.

Hey! What have you done with our Allan? Lol. Very well done Allan. Very professional. I was thinking as you were building, Allan wouldn’t have been able to produce this video without being able to use all the knowledge he has accumulated over all his videos. Long winded sentence I know, but I think you understand what I mean. This was a very well produced tutorial. And the end results are very nice. It’s really a great looking building. Thanks for sharing this build. See ya next time.

Now the Dragon has a castle to live in as every castle should one. Metcalfe has been very clever in making that kit with two suicide doors because they know that people will not leave them like it. Do not forget the flag on the top of Dragon Castle. Martin. (Thailand)

Hi Bigfella...as for damp no..as long as it`s water proof and insulated no issues. Insulating is also good for the summer it keeps the heat off the walls and roof in side. Stops the layout getting cooked and track damage. Mines 2" or 50mm thick..
Hi Allan, really nice job on the Castle mate, I’m really impressed with that Metcalfe kit, i hope there might be room for one at Exehaven, we’ll see how it works out. Cheers for now mate John
