Marvellous models Bob and what a fantastic layout of trackwork. One little scene took me back - trying to get the balance between water and steam so the injector would pick up the water. Chris
I was pleased that they'd invited me to come up and capture their wonderful Miniature Railway Chris...I had a great day, and delighted with the results...Regards...Bob
As usual your videography is absolutely first class Bob! My congratulations to you once again. I thoroughly enjoyed the low level shots and the close-ups too. The group really did put some excellent locos on view and I was pleased to see the SR 'Coffee pot' once again. I have fond memories of the full size version of those incredibly powerful 0-6-0s working in Hampshire. My thanks to everyone involved. Now I'm going to watch part 2 ! Best wishes. Rob.
Hello Rob, thanks very much for watching and leaving such warm and flattering comments, which are greatly appreciated. I'm delighted it brought back Happy Memories for you...Best wishes...Bob
Merci comme toujours Philippe, c'était une merveilleuse journée à Cardiff, et les installations de ce chemin de fer étaient remarquables .... Diolch Yn Fawr am Edrych .... Bob
Superb video Bob, wonderful locos on display, a real credit to those who built them. Really impressed with the running lines with a very well cared for lineside which makes such a difference
Thanks Austin, being in Cardiff and long established, they've done a magnificent job on the facilities there....On public Open Days, it gets very crowded....Bob
Good start with the Cardiff Castle Bob , its a great hobby this ....think we should both start with a club and acquire our own steam Loco ...sure could have some fun ...one thing would be knowledgeable enough to drive the real ones..thats a very nice track set up they have built there ...Dave
The Castle is a fine scale model Dave, and is absolutely superb....Like you, I'd love to own one, but it's well beyond me now in every respect....Regards...Bob

What a lovely place that is! Looks like they had some fun; the feller with his glass of beer at 8:28. And he didn't spill a drop! The Castle was flying round! And I love the spaniel at 3:00.
They are professional Beer carriers on train in Cardiff Andrei, not one drop to be spilt....That Castle was a suoerb fine detail examoke, and just flew around...and as for the Spaniel...totally agree....Bob
