Thank you, I enjoyed meeting you. I always keep an eye out to see what new ideas you come up with to achieve a good result whilst keep the price to a sensible level. Your layout was fun and that is important for younger modelers, both from a budget angle and having a working railway to play with in a short timescale.
That's very kind of you. It seemed very popular , we got booked into three more exhibitions plus the Newhaven MRC already have it booked for October so that's very encouraging. Really enjoyed your video bu the way.
Hi, I think this is the only exhibition I have attended where both model and real trains can be seen side by side. It makes a very interesting comparison.
Hi Nick, sorry I've taken a few days to answer, I've just returned from an amazing short break to film some of the narrow gauge railways in North Wales. It's nice to know you enjoyed watching this video, it was taken with a Sony Handycam FDR AX-53. If you click on the "about" tab on my channel page, I list all the cameras and software I use.
Seriously though, Tim, to really get a good shot of these models, try getting in close with a telephoto shot, enough to hide anyone walking about behind them. If there's a painted sky backdrop, so much the better for the appearance of realism. About 5 min., 40 secs, exactly what I suggested! Makes it look almost real, doesn't it?
Photographing model railways can be difficult as there are usually a lot of people watching, but from time to time a gap opens up offering the opportunity to capture the action. I zoom in where I can and some of the results can be very rewarding.
Hello Heinz, exhibition layouts tend to be dioramas with fiddle yards at each end because they are easier to transport in pieces, where as fixed layouts can be much bigger with more of a 3D profile.
About 3 minutes in:..... Aww, look at this will ya! They've gone and left these engines in the wash for such a long time and look at the size they've shrunk to! LOL
Hi Neil, one of my friends is moving to Longreach, just looked up the rail journey from Brisbane - 25 hrs 10 mins on the train. Planning on doing that trip next time I visit Oz.
Awesome. I love the old sets.
Quality.... Nostalgia.
Hi Andy, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video, it was a good day out.
Many thanks for the film of our layout Roselands Hill.

Love the budget model railways layout and the one at 9 mins 35 secs.
Hi, Budget Model railways shows that the hobby doesn't have to be expensive and some of the tips offered for making the scenery are useful.
Nice to see the lovely preserved Locos at work! Well done all. Enjoyed our visit very much last time we were there.
The guys at the Bluebell Railway do a fantastic Job.
What an excellent look around the Bluebell and the models Many thanks!
Cheers, it was good day out.
Hi there, just watching the exhibition at the model railway at Bluebell Railway, is very interesting, as well as watching real life trains passing by.
Hi, I think this is the only exhibition I have attended where both model and real trains can be seen side by side. It makes a very interesting comparison.
thanks for uploading this i used to work here before moving to far away but it is good to see the old places again
Thank you, I'm glad it brought back some memories.
Forwarding to my brother David who will love this one. He provided the photos when we did Letting Off Steam on the new Encore album. Thanks Tim.
Thank you. I hope your brother enjoys it. From the photos he supplied of Portmeirion and the Welsh narrow gauge lines, we have a lot common.
This looks awesome!! I still haven't been to a Bluebell model railway weekend! Most other events but not this.... yet. :-)
Hi, if you make it to one of their model railway weekends, I think you'll enjoy it, where else can you see model and real trains on the same platform?
Excellent video! I love the way it ended!!
Thank you, it was a great day out, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
very nice railways Tim.thanks.
Very nice video.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Un video muy bonito, como todos los que tienes publicados en tu Canal. Un cordial saludo desde España.
Gracias, me complace que te haya gustado. Mis mejores deseos desde Inglaterra
cool video i like your video so much
Glad you enjoyed it, I am lucky this line is only an hours drive from my home town, so I get to visit it two or three times a year.
Very high quality images, good to watch. Thank you for posting. I wonder if you could let me know what camera you are using for 4K here?
Nick.

Olá, fico satisfeito por ter desfrutado o som das máquinas a vapor trabalhando duro.

Yeah, the trick is to get in as close as you can so you don't capture those walking around "behind the scenes" as it were. Cheers, Tim!
you have got me on camera at the time of 1:28.
Are you the person with the orange top?
Cool
;-)
The model trains are operating at unrealistic speeds. SLOW DOWN to capture realism.
Some were a bit quick, but the old Hornby stuff didn't like running slowly.
Ours were running pretty slow but look faster on film? Perhaps it's tech issue, any slower and ours would have stalled on the tight curves.
Model layouts look like diorama style. Very different to German layout style. - Heinz

It was nice to see little and large sharing the same platform.
The long and the short, the big and the small.... You had it all, Tim! Cheers!
It was a good day out :-)
Last time I saw model trains on display was in the entry hall at Richmond Vale Railway Museum(I'm hoping to get back there in August). Cheers, Tim!
