What a beautiful layout Richard and very nicely filmed.👍 That backscene is fantastic; the landscape scenes are great but the "join", where the model buildings meet the backscene is virtually invisible, very hard to tell which buildings are on the backdrop.👌 It took me a while to figure out the track plan; presumably just a single-track figure of eight? I did spot a junction, mainly hidden; does that go to a fiddle yard? The "freelance" diesel is an interesting loco - scratchbuilt? Only other "sensible" question I can think of: why the right-hand running at the stations? Is that common practice on narrow gauge lines? I'm wondering if some of them use sprung points, same as some RETB routes on the "big" railways - which could explain it? Congratulations on a superb piece of modelling and compiling a 13 minute video without any "hand of god" moments.👍👌😁 Cheers for now, Dougie.
Nicely done! My only gripe the the frozen-in-time speedboat. Not as bad as the Cessna I once saw, forever taking off from an O scale harbour, but I find frozen action modelling only makes the lack of activity other than trains all the more obvious. It's why I prefer standing and sitting figures to people in mid-stride down the street. Something to think about, anyway. It's still a very impressive railway.
"Frozen in time" scenes can work very well for stills photography. They can look a wee bit odd on video though. Any layout has to draw the line somewhere though. Even if Magnorail was used to get the speedboat and yacht moving, you're still going to have "frozen" people. Not everyone can be sitting, or lying on the beach.😁
Fascinatingly Gorgeous!!!! Well designed too, well done!!
So lifelike, what a wonderful model, must have taken ages to build. Jolly well done. love it.
Beautiful layout!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice layout.. I like it
