- Jim Hancock from the Kettering and District Model Railway has produced this superb recreation of the feverish action preceding the D-Day landing. His model is set in a fictional south coast port which is an amalgam of various real locations.
Well done depicting one of the great feats of D-Day. Logistics is the foundation for victory and is an under appreciated aspect of what happened. And of course, not just the normandy campaign.
wow what an amazing layout. thanks for sharing and for your brave military service
GOOD SHOW ! Enjoyed this layout very much, thanks for posting.
Bravo! Nice layout! What a combination of military modeling and model trains!
Absolutely fantastic diorama, cheers
Very Nice
Absolutely Fantastic This is exactly what I have been looking for. Great Ideas for my own layout. Many thanks from Chris in Derbyshire.
There is a WWI exhibition layout based in Derbyshire. The channel is Model Railway Noib and the layout is 20 Casualty Clearing Station. He is going to be developing a WWII layout in the future and said he will show some of his WWII onwards trains soon.
Brilliant display. That's all can say.
One niggling shot does make me frown.

Stunning! Would love to see this in the flesh!
OH AND LOVE THE SOUND TRACK
Magnificent and ineffably noble - minded work.
excellent
Sadly, Jim Hancock passed away recently in his mid nineties. Jim only began modellingin his late seventies. Beside "Battle Stations", he has started a project about the former railway into his home town of Oundle in Northamptonshire for the local museum, See disused-stations.org.uk/o/oundle/index.shtml and th-cam.com/video/ZfhPARp0v8k/w-d-xo.html. Great bloke and modeller! RIP

If you want to see really superb ww11 railway modelling, look up Rowlands Castle by Pete Goss
How In The Hell Could Two TARDS Give This a Thumbs Down ?????
Bonjour quel travail et le choix de la musique GLEN MILLER génial félicitation je m'abonne
i only wish folks would share the scale they're working in for other modeler's benefit
One little thing regarding the landing craft. If your supposed to drive a tank onto a beach do you recommend going in reverse?
Excellent layout and great modeling! That is one of the best looking "port of embarkation" layouts I've ever seen. I do wonder, though, about the airfield at around 1:50, there's a hangar at one end, a fence at the other, a road opposite the fence with structures and a base HQ enclosing the Spits and Hurris in one spot. Are those secret VTOL versions of Britain's most famous fighters?
They probably are. I heard they were powered by tea and the cockpit had a facial recognition system wich only allowed people with very poche mustauche's to pilot the plane to keep spies from stealing the super secret technology.
Hurricanes no longer in service by 1944. And M48 tanks? You lose points for that.
Sure I saw a M113 on one of the railway wagons as well
Every modelers dream
Pardon me, boy
Is that the Chattanooga choo choo? (yes yes)
