Very nice Brian! It's a beautiful thing to watch the trains. This layout is not overloaded with stuff and that is very reassuring, I could watch forever. I love the shades of green.
Sir, A credit to you and your mates, Your time, patience and skills have kept alive this icon of model railways. Appreciate what you have done and hope younger members of your club come to the party and keep it running as it is in future years. Well done and THANK YOU.
This is real modelling. No R-T-R, (presumably) no DCC, hand-built track using traditional methods, all structures scratch built. It’s refreshing to still see this in 2021.
I'm with you on every point except your comment on DCC. How does the inclusion of DCC control to a finescale prototypical layout diminish it's status as a working model in any way? The advent of DCC control has been a godsend to those who strive to operate their models prototypically and it should be embraced, not shunned simply because it is modern technology.
I think it might be positioning stock for uncoupling , otherwise it’d be a single mark not two. Also they are all the same colour. I’m guessing Presumably we see a lot of the operators side, not the exhibition side
What a beautiful model and still going strong after 40 years.

Can tell it is not OO. P4 just so beautiful. So good escaping this insane world even for 5 minutes.
Has been in the care of the North London Group for many years. We tested it recently, and virtually everything still works!
A truly outstanding model railway. I hope it is run and displayed for at least another 40 years.
Gorgeous layout, Bodman!! I’ve seen it a few times, and look forward to seeing it live instead of on You Tube!!
What an excellent layout. Such an inspiration to GWR modellers like myself.

I’ve seen Bodman a couple of times at various local shows. I’m very much looking forward to seeing it again live.
A really lovely model. Thanks for showing it.
What a beautiful model and still going strong after 40 years. I've traveled on the preserved line many a time but regrettably not seen the layout.
Beautiful layout.
Lucky they kept those drawings 👍
A marvellous evocation of a GWR railway terminus.

That was amazing video clip you put together there off the trans an it’s good to lean to the story about the trans. 👍👍🚂🚂
Very nice layout.I like the sceanary
Work of art, superb 👌
Love those GWR suburbans!!
Beautiful.
I don’t care what people think, vintage British model railways are the best…
Agreed❤
Very nice🚂👍
Whats the purpose of the orange markers?
What are the red arrows on the roving stock ?
I'm guessing they're something to do with sorting wagons when shunting - ie, operational, not true to protoype. Just guessing…

Delightful, but is it 'Bodman' or the better known 'Bodmin', like it says on Brians badge 0:24?
Model Railway Layout OF the Great Western Railway 1928 era
Bodmin surely?
Yes, it's Bodmin, I live down here and the track layout as seen from the road bridge has barely changed.
not to be confused with Bodman-Ludwigshafen or with Badman 🦇
Surely you mean BODMIN (General) railway station 🚂🚂??
Nice to see trains moving at scale speeds instead of being jet propelled as so often.
Funny to think every OO layout is actually narrow gauge.
