This is just beautiful. I had a tear in my eye, come the end. I loved the literary wit in the dialogue, and the charm of the characters. The spirit of Oliver Postgate is alive and well, here! Subscribed.

Is that real snow?

Marvellous, absolutely marvellous.

What song plays in the beginning

Absolutely great modelling and such a good story. Much appreciated from down under❤

What a charming and bittersweet evocation of a world so long-gone! Well done to all involved - and RIP Peter Strange...

With the rather Dickensian first sequence (shades of The Signalman), these beautiful little fragments are the Duck End equivalent of The Mystery of Edwin Drood! Thank you, Peter and Paul, for these superbly atmospheric productions - I've recently been able to introduce them to a railway-minded friend, who hadn't come across them before.

Absolute masterpiece

Charming, heartwarming, highly amusing, my go to✌️👍😊💜

So much charm, realism and humour, wonderful stuff✌️👍💜😊

"...But in 1914, peace was shattered and the world and Juniper Junction were to change forever. Porter Harris enlisted into the Army a year later to do his part and was soon dispatched to France. The friends he left behind waited patiently for his return, hoping to hail him as a hero...but Porter Harris never came home. Lost to the horrors of No Man's Land, he now lies forever beneath Flanders Fields. The young porter was missed by all, yet, many joked that his presence was MOST mourned by the Juniper Cricket Team....Those that returned, at least. All have since parted from this world. Even little Bronwyn and young Cyril. They grew up and old together, fell in love, married young, had children and grandchildren and spent their lives working on the railway through depression, war and modernization until their retirement. They passed away in the year 2000, a mere two weeks apart and almost as Old as Young Mr. Oake had been when he'd died. They can still be found in that area, in the old churchyard, buried side by side. But, before then, they and their family managed to rescue Ethel from the Cutter's Torch, and ever since, their great-grandchildren have continued to loan her out, resplendent in her old colors, to heritage railways across the country. An eternal memorial to the boy who forever loved her. And what of Juniper Junction? By some miracle or another, it remains in use. A hearty survivor of the Beeching Axe, saved, bittersweetly, by the New Town sprawl that now surrounds it. The once green meadows and farmland are now dotted with the work of a post-war council, too eager to build up to see what they were to lose. If you'd lived to see the village of Juniper as it once was, you would hardly recognize it now. But the account of that century old mishap, though remembered by none, lives on in legend. Mrs. Golightley, Captain Simpkins and Mr. Jones, whose Lumbago soon healed and who heard all from his wife and daughter, wrote the story down at the end of the holidays and had it framed and hung in the tea room for all to see, much to Mr. Poddifact's hesitance. And there it hangs still. In fact, it has become a great favorite of generations of station staff and to this day, amid the hydraulic smell of Multiple Units and the purring of passing Goods Diesels, you may still hear them tell the tale of that summer's day, long ago, in the Golden Age of Steam, when Stationmaster Poddifact was almost undone by a King, a Mouse and a Clock."

My favorite part is the bagpipes playing as the Great Scot train pulls grandly into the station. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Just come across this..absolutely brilliant!!

Rest in peace Tibbles 😔✊

Reminds me a bit of Juniper Junction

What a fun layout!

Love these videos

What figures did you and Peter use on the railway? Marklin? They really help with the vintage feel over modern figures.

What an incredible labour of love! Warms your heart and makes you happy. Thank you so much.

Man I love these videos and this channel, please post something again soon. ♥️

Your wonderful videos have influenced the direction my raised garden railway is taking to more of a vintage gauge one feel both in trains, buildings, people. Just wish the trains were easier to find in the states. The struggles of a yank smitten with tinplate trains from the UK in both gauge 1 and 0.

Wholly delightful, nostalgia personified and a reminder of Thomas and Friends before b....ly Disney got their hands on it. More please

How wonderful and inspiring!

Toll ! ! !

Charming. The work that has gone into the making of these must be huge. I can never tire of watching them again and again.

Brightens up my day to watch these.

Superb. These videos alone make U tube worth having. It’s a real shame that the early films don’t seem to be available. I’d happily accept any degradation just to be able to see them.

One of the best railway films I have ever seen. This is certainly still a charming film. It had the spirit of Oliver Postgate. Well done to those who made this.

Very tasty.

This is an animation , not your garden railway then, like it used to be!? 🤔

Such gorgeous tinplate gauge 1 trains! Trains were more colorful back then, too. They knew how to make toys back in those days.

I like

What a fantastic day out. Worth every penny of the 1/9d and 1d!

Prachtig! Hoeveel tijd is er wel niet gestoken in het maken van van deze 2.28 minuten durende productie?

WONDERFUL; both entertaining and nostalgic too!

... lange darauf gewartet und begeistert die grandiose Ausstattung und Realisation genossen. Bitte mehr davon in einer weiteren Fortsetzung .....

Wonderful, reminds me of the one where the King comes

that. was. AMAZING.. loved every second!

What’s the name of the music used?

Charming little film , I like the special effects too I am so pleased Duck end has returned and more please !

we have a dvd of this and it is a truly wonderful little film. Highly recommended

Thank you so much for this new Duck End production - a joy to watch and the choice of music is perfect. No mention of Cyril or Daisy... are they all right? Kind regards, Bob

Fabulous to see a new film and what terrific quality - WONDERFUL 🇬🇧👏

It was wonderful to see another video from Duck End. I know they have taken a lot of work to produce, but I do so enjoy them.

Absolutely love the atmosphere of this short film especially the part about the juniper light railway, may I know the name of the music used throughout?

What a unique way of showing your system. So creative, you have captured the real railway atmosphere. Such a professional production. Well done.

Where do you live?

What Gauge is it?

It's coming up for a year now since this one, hope you've come through this pandemic year o k!
