Uncle Mick's Model Railway World: Part 3 'Tobsam Parkway' Boat Lake Town #modelmaking #modelrailway #modellers

Welcome, we're having an update. Yeah. What have you built now? A lake. That's the motor that drives it all. Can you see it in a minute? In there, yeah. It goes in there. That's the motor. Just plug it in. Okay. Plug it in. Fantasy island. Did you build this little island? Built it all. There's a lot of it. Oh my gosh. Boots. And then. They're so cute. Let's have a look at what I'm here about. Magnets. So what's underneath the lake? Another magnet. Two magnets. And a thing that goes round and round and round. Hopefully. You have to give them a bit of a kick start. Oh my gosh. Catch him up, catch him up. There you go. It's brilliant. Oh, you've got different speeds. Oh, how cute. That's so cute. A bit jerky and he's cleaning. So you have to keep. Polishing it. So they slide. They're so tiny. Look, that's my finger there. How tiny they are. And your little people. What's the scale again, Mick? Double O gauge. Four millimetres equals one foot. That's so lovely. And is it going to the centre of your module? Eventually, when it's all sorted out, which is basic at the moment. So you'll put your vegetation on and put your little bushes in and everything. Are you going to have any little ducks on the island? Oh, I don't know what to do on there yet. A picnic table. Oh, that would be nice. Two bears, Yogi and Boo Boo. That's all us sat in that little boat, look. My camera can't even zoom in, look, because they're so tiny. Brilliant. Wonderful. It's just the polarity of the magnets, north and south. And that one's the opposite. So if you try to put it on that one, it just throws it away. Because it repels. Oh, wow. It doesn't go there, it goes over there. So they can only go on the... On the specified... Specified... Look, there we go. Oh, there you go. That's nice. And away they go. It gets so near to edge over there. It reminds me of that boating pool in West Avenue, you know, little park on West Avenue where I used to live. What's this? Something different. Yeah, magnets are amazing. Especially if you've got a brain like you and you can work it all out. It's all what's finishing this on it, basically. You have to keep dusting it because they get stuck. Yeah, and it's going to be a pain in the bum when it's in the garage. That's just cardboard. And that's just the middle out of a toilet roll cup. And then just stuff stuck on it. And you made your little boats out of lollipop sticks, you said? Yeah, just lollipop sticks. Anything that's found floating around. Little lollipop stick boats. Hardest bit is getting the magnet so it's just raised up from the bottom. So the boat doesn't catch on the varnish. I know what you mean. The magnet's just slightly raised from the base. So it actually just slides on the magnet rather than sticks on the bits of wood. Oh, that's where it goes. It just grabs at you. Under there is like a bar across with two magnets on that just goes round like that. Drags them round. It's lovely. Amazing magnets nowadays. So powerful, tiny little, you know, them things. I know. You stick them on a bit of metal and you can't get the bloody things on. Yeah. Okay, so we have an update. Uncle Mick don't mess about. This is brilliant. So we've got the little building here hiding some electronics. Cleverly concealed in there. And the control panel. What's this for then, the train? For everything. Is it? I'll put the little motorboats running. Okay, we'll have a look at the little motorboats running. So you can see it's a work in progress. There's a lot of dust there, a stick of it at the moment. Is there? All the dust is getting stuck on the water. Could do with some furniture polish or something to shine it up. I'll do my finger. Radio on in the background. Okay, so the motors underneath, yeah? Yeah. Motorboats for sale. Everyone queuing up at the kiosk. Here, here. We'll see if it'll go. It'll probably stick, actually, and fly all over the place. Be careful. It worked! Yeehee! I'll give you a bit of that. Oh, I'm using my thumb. That's it. Oh, how cute. There's a little couple in the middle having a picnic. That's so cute. It's so lovely. Watch your finger. That's so funny. It just shows you the scale. Ingenious. How great! And there's a little guy coming out with his little push chair. Oh, I nearly knocked a tree over. We're crashing into trees and all sorts of things with his push chair. Ready? Yep. That's so funny. Oh my gosh. Wow, that's tight. Oh, it's going again. Oh, how lovely. Oh, the bus has stopped here. Wow. So the train's coming. Zoom! And then we just... Which is your...? We'll open the gate. Wow. Do the right thing. Open the gate. We're opening. Green light. Green light on. And off he goes. That's it. Brilliant. Is he coming back up here? It's amazing. It worked really well. It's really quite tight, that bit is. That's amazing. He's back. That was fast. He's going round like that as well. It's so fun. I wish I weren't wobbling about as much. Oh, and then the bus is off again. Let's try and do that without wobbling about as much. Let me know if it's coming my way. That's so funny. Oh no, I thought it was going the wrong way then. You always made a magical world for me when I was really little, because I remember you once made like a house. A doll's house, yeah. Yeah, but it was all on one level. And it was like this magical world for us when we were little. And your little lights, did you say they're like the end of pencils or something? Biro. End of Biro, that's brilliant. I love your little lollipop stick traffic lights as well. They're so cute. Yeah, but it is a bit near, it won't focus. Hello, hello. No, no. Ta-da. Those are cute. Those are. You're doing wiring for these, are you? Yeah, it'll go through and it'll stand upright, but it's just balancing on wires at the moment. Yeah. That goes there. And this one goes... Yeah. Okay. Some little shops, a shopping centre. And you built this library from scratch. All that's built from scratch. And you just print out your own bricks and your own roof tiles. So you've done that all yourself. All the little posters on the side of the library. We've got Whitby, Scarborough and Bridlington. Ta-da. Sprocket and cog. Wow, look at that for a secret hidey hole. Good stuff. God knows where all the wires go because I don't. There we go. You ready? Yeah, ready. That is so tight getting through there, it's amazing. Is he going to go through the bridge again? Wow. So now you've worked out all these angles. And back to the start. That was amazing. This is where it goes, Uncle Mick, isn't it? When it's finished and you're on to the next one. Oh, what a good idea. So yeah, you've got your blocks in. It's like an aerial view. That's amazing, that is. So yeah, on to the next one then. Which starts there. Okay. Fab.
