i remember them all

I like Pullman coaches

I'm surprised That Robert hasn't sued for copyright. Nice layout, all a bit too fast though!

Why do people say " ec,cetera .it's etcetera .fgs

Cool video! New subscriber 🙋‍♂️

Shall never forget moquette seats hot with sunshine or the un-wordly orange glow through the tinted skylights.....Bedford SB! Then came the greenhouse Duple Vegas on VAL chassis. After that Dad bought a car and holidays weren't quite the same.

I love your statue

Nice footage. I saw it at Kent House where it came through a lot slower.

1960s Bedford bus is the most beautiful bus, had a few here in Cape Town and always loved the 4 wheels in the front.

Great class of loco. Thank you.

Wow ! This was a great opportunity to revisit my boyhood. I remember going on holiday with my Mam and Dad to Rhyl or Blackpool in the late 50’s and early 60’s in these wonderful coaches. As a little boy they were so shiny and impressive and it was such a thrill to ride on them. They were so beautifully designed and looked sleek and elegant incorporating real craftsmanship. They were great days.

What a wonderful collection lovely to see the 2 Burlingam Seagulls the best British coach builder ever

Great to see so many buses/coaches from my youth. Particularly interested in the Western Welsh buses featured.

So sweetheart

We used to catch one of these (at 1:00) to travel from Grays to our holiday at Butlin's Clacton in the 50s. It was considered a real treat and we knew out week's holiday had begun. Happy days.

Many thanks for producing the video. Great to see Well Wood again. Did you live in Coney Hall?

yes me too, school buses all old ones,. lololol now I am 69 my first motor Bike was " J" 1971. MY FIRST CAR A RENUALT 8 D reg 1966.. live in Canada now

When I was at secondary school we were taken by coach. Normally coaches that were at the end of their working life, several of which were featured here. Bring back good memories of the sixties.

One I recognized ...at 1:18... a coach registered in Great Yarmouth (EX 9850) - about mid-50's. And again at 1:42 (EX 9200). Another at 1:58 (CEX 200), and at 3:52 (GEX 780). In those days, Great Yarmouth was a separate vehicle registration authority, independent of Norfolk.

I've only got one thing to say..... MCCW Orion. I'll see myself out.....

Very enjoyable video. I can remember our school coaches very well. Our local operator used an all Duple fleet during my school years around 1965 to 1975. As I remember these were Bella Vegas, the majestic six wheeled Vega Major (my favourite). They also operated what looked the same as the Bella Vega, but with an inward opening front door, it even retained the same iconic ‘ sloping window’ design as per Bella Vega. It had the chromed name Marauder in the same place and letter style as the Bella Vega. During the last few months of my school years, the company began using the futuristic looking Duple Viceroy? I still preferred the Vega Major! Back in 1967, Santa bought me a Dinky Toys Vega Major, complete with flashing lights and working steering. Happy days.

Very nice…. Thank you for showing .

This is excellent. Unfortunately I can only identify a small fraction of these even though I was around some of this era as a child but I was always interested in unusual buses and coaches, particularly Ribble which operated out of Manchester where I lived then. I was, and still am, fascinated by the Ribble White Ladies which were double deck coaches. I can't recall seeing any others of this category at that time until the Gay Hostess Atlanteans came along. I think that there may be only one of the White Ladies left. Nice to see that none of these photos show vehicles plastered over with advertising or the name of the operator.

hi, great video. i am amazed there are no Southdown coaches in these photos

There was fallowfield and Britten which ran from London on various tours around the homecounties. Also Henry coaches we used to get to Clacton in Essex. The big one was grey_green and orange luxury. Based at Stamford Hill north London. 🙂😉☕👍

A LOT of work gone into that layout fantastic

From a Golden Era when COACH TOURS and EXCURSIONS were the only way to Travel

First class, thanks Barry.

Good call on the King Crimson front. If you’ve not already spotted them, Hornby have covered at least two other prog bands in a similar way!

Wonderful video! Thanks for sharing !

Those both REALLY need a clean and lubrication. They will be running dry and causing rapid wear.

I always feel slightly sorry for foxes, they seem constantly nervous and wary.

I love how the fox thinks _"Uh oh, I'm about to be disturbed, I'd better leave. But not before filling my mouth with everything I see"_ lol

Its a fantastic model . I have the plain BR green one. 10 times better than the last Model Rail effort eith Heljan the dreaded PWM shunter. Cheap and nasty avoid. Would have watched the whole vid but music put me off sorry

Great to see you enjoy your self and combine it with your other passion and youth sentiment. But what really grasp me, was the age you got your first set and still have it in the box. I'm similar like you, I was 5 years old when I made my first trip to the UK from Belgium, to visit my relatives in Nottingham. And my nephew had a set on the attic floor, and I spend almost my hole Holliday on that attic, where I got serious ill with the model train disease. A week after we returned back home, I got my first train set, a Märklin set, as British trains weren't available here. A bout 20 years later, I walked into a British model train shop, and there my first love for British trains came back, since I only collect British stuff. Only last year I sold all my Märklin stuff, only to buy more British stuff, but my first set still in box, that was to emotional to depart of. Enjoy the model railway illness, there is no cure for it, so you might better enjoy it😅 regards, Danny

It must be having a model railway is away that make great musicians thrive in there industry , like Neil Young , Roger Daltry , Rod Stewart . ,Jools Holland . It’s an art form .😊

I'm impressed by how much action you've packed into a small space. A lovely session.

Prog Rock you say! A man after my own heart mind you I will have to wait for ELP or YES releases lol. Seems I started around the same age as you with a layout. But I fell away from it around late teens and only recently picked the hobby back up again. Wonderful little layout you have lots of detailing. Really enjoyed the running session.

Being a model railway fan for years ! also Prog Rock fan ! favourite band King Crimson , always been way ahead of there time , got most of the albums apart from Red ! favourite one is Larks tounge in aspic pt 2 absolutely superb ! never knew they did the 00 gauge after King Crimson..... very nice

Have you speed the camera up or is the grandkid operating?

What a lovely layout. The 'In the Court of the Crimson King' cover art will always haunt me!

Looks great with those liver and custard coaches

Not only was the holden real but just like Nellie and the 040 King George v , its dimensions are very close to the real thing! Check wiki for just about the only pic of Holdens no 101 experimental oil burning loco

Yes they run really well. Interesting link with the band you mention. Thank you.

Loved the video but do you mind if I ask what the background music you used? 😊👍

Robert still very much alive and kicking!!!!😊

Never noticed that connection before! Love the little Holdens. They are actually based on a real locomotive that was designed to run on a branch line but wasn't very successful and ended up being the Swindon Works shunter for a quite a few years I believe.

Well spotted, who knew? It wouldn't have surprised me that if approached, Robert may have given you permission. Nice session.

quite the gathering!

A nice Traction Avant at 2:51. I own 3 of those. Sure a lot of American cars too. There is a great car show at the Amberley Museum.
