Glad the move was successful. Only minor track damage is nothing. Layout looks great. Tim

Great video and the layout looks great in its new home in the garage! Cheers Gary

That really is impressive Ben. To move that layout with so little damage is remarkable. The new space really does give you opportunities and room to work. Look forward to seeing its progress. Stephen

Hallo, eine sehr schöne Modellbahn entsteht da🚂🛤👍👍. Viele Grüße Gert

Hi 👋🏻 Ben. WOW 🤩 great progress on moving Stafford station and getting up and running so soon 😊 I take it you’re near the sea side now and not a refuge tip hearing those seagulls lol 😆 We moved in December 2021 and my layout is still boxed up 🙁 I was at Stafford station on Monday morning watching the trains 👍🏻

Thanks, yes you guessed right the coast and the seagulls certainly make a racket. Staffords great for trainspotting.

Morning Ben, well you’re done it and in a very short space of time I bet you’re happy it’s all managed to survive the move 😀😎👍

Hi Ben - having to dismantle and relocate a layout the size of Stafford is no mean feat. The fact you were able to do it with practically no damage is a testament to how well it was built in the first place. Can clearly see you have far more space in the new garage. Plus your thoughts are turning to a helix........ I've seen some other guy's layout where he has two helixes to access a lower fiddle/storage yards. For the life of me I can't remember his name 😅. Very enjoyable update and look forward to seeing the layout get even bigger over the coming months and years. Cheers Euan

Thanks Euan, yes it was a big job, took me a week in evenings to get it set up, there was a few broken bits. Was thinking I should have mentioned you when discussing the helixes will have to rewatch your helix video!

That's a huge amount of work but looks like you are well om the way with future plans as well.

Cheers yeh, the garage is long enough to have both halfs put end to end eventually should be good.

Wow, amazing work. I don’t think Ive ever seen a video where someone says they are moving house and seen the layout setup, in the new place, in the same video.

Thanks, its taken ages though, looking forward to using my new resin 3d printer now, seen countless videos of your 3d printing efforts on piccadilly, good stuff.

Hi Ben, glad to hear the house move went well with minimal transit damage. I'll have to come up again once you're all up and running and bring my new Pendolinos, and hopefully the new MK5 Caledonian sleeper train too as they're due imminently, that'd be a treat to see run around your layout!

Your welcome to come up again, great to run your stock and the Mk5 Caledonians will look good behind your 92. Apparently according to Revolutions website the Avanti 11 car pendos are due at the end of August.

Hi Ben - what a cracking room for your layout. I dont know how you managed to contain yourself, had it been me I would have knocked both rooms into one and have an enormous layout. I would have a work area inside the layout up one end, if you get my drift. Regards Chris

Yes knocking through is on the cards eventually as the total layout is meant to be end to end, my partner just needs the storage in the other half at the moment!

wow fair play Ben. Dread my house move next year and doing the same....
