Hi Tom, very enjoyable thanks for sharing cheers Al
Thanks Al glad you enjoyed it
We were there with the Talyllyn Railway Preservation Society stand, it was a really interesting, varied show. Enjoyed going round the layouts, especially liked the one with the Distillery and Clyde Puffer. Met some great folk too. Really impressed with the idea of footstools for the small folk, they're the future of the craft, start them young! Many thanks, a super show with a friendly atmosphere in a beautiful building. See you again.
Glad you enjoyed the video, the clyde puffer was certainly a nice feature and it was an amazing harbour scene to, like you say there was quite a variety there and something for everyone, ill have to visit the Talyllyn railway one day, its on my to do list, thanks for watching. Tom
Hi North West Trains! Thanks for the video. Some really good footage of my Coketown layout! We were in twilight where we were in the church so a bit difficult for everyone.
Hi glad you like the video, Coketown is a fantastic layout, i could have spent hours watching running sessions on it, very nice to see full size trains running on a mainline, i particually liked the tpe mk5 set, i have one in oo but haven't seen it in n gauge before, thanks for watching. Tom
Some fine detailed layouts :)
@Pirate-Scorcher-1998 they certainly had good variety of layouts there, thanks for watching. Tom
Excellent - some fine modelling present with much realism - thank you. 👍
Several layouts illustrated extremely well how railways were dirty environments with frequently filthy locomotives, and how much slow-moving freight traffic existed.
_PS - particuarly like the model of a Bond Minicar Mk.B (as built at Ribbleton Lane, Preston) @25.20._
@ewhurstgreen glad you enjoyed the video they had a nice variety of layouts there I loved the 2 harbour layouts and coketown, thanks for watching. Tom
@@northwesttrainsmodels Certainly a far better quality of exhibition layouts the I've seen down here for quite a while! Colin
Nice, but very dull and boring. If those guys want to attract a big crowd, their steamies need to be flying along, pristine and of preserved status. Too many steamies are stuck with goods trains. Time some BR Chocolate & Cream and Blood & Custard Mk. 1 coaches were introduced. Another way to attract attention is to run Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends, so the children won't complain. These guys are taking our hobby way too seriously, and that's not the way to show off their railways. They should be showing off the fun side of the hobby: a trip to the seaside, Henry sneezing at some silly boys, etc. You and I show the fun side of the hobby, why can't those who show off their railways to us do the same?
Sorry but I dont agree? These are model railways - not toy trains. Scale speeds dominate a layout also.
There was plenty of fast moving trains on the bridge road layout there was also a kids layout called fun ville but it was very busy so I didn't film that one
Slow moving trains allow for us to enjoy the details and maybe learn something about the era through the types of loads and traffic patterns. This video is a great contrast to the oftentimes inmaturity of a LEGO show where trains are going way too fast and if an exhibitor tried to be serious about their hobby they might be questioned to death. While I, like many people take my hobbies seriously, I do believe in some whimsy that needs to be discovered within the displays.😂 Having done a little more research into the Thomas the Tank Engine stories, I realize that they really are based more on the reality of trains as a system. LOL 🤔🚉
It’s a *model* railway, so realism is generally a priority for exhibition layouts. It’s not about attracting crowds, it’s about showing what railways were or are like
your right and when i saw the original thomas layout at a show they had all the timetables wrote out and were reading them as the trains arrived and departed you can see how the refd audry came up with the stories, i dont mind a few fun layouts but i also like realism, the eastgate harbour is a perfect example of something prototypical but has alot of fun features in it, thanks for watching.
