Great short film of a classic layout design (based on London Liverpool St Metropolitan Lines LT terminal) using classic Hornby Dublo trains, wonderful, and enjoyable. I had read that CJF had envisaged a steam suburban operation of the train arriving, a tank locomotive leaves the short loco release stub siding, attaches to the arrived train, and then departs, leaving the arrival loco to move to the short siding, and wait to attach to the rear of the next steam suburban train. I understand that LT did this at Baker St (?) with the LT xMetropolitan BoBo electric locomotives (services to Amersham?) doing a similar sequence, hence the Minors design. Lovely layout, and an enjoyable film, very well done.
Minories, the plan in the Peco 60 plans for small railways booklet by Cyril Freezer. I pawed over it for hours as a young teen in the sixties, never got round to attempting it, was that realy all those years ago. Now I have the spare time, the money even the space but these old hands and eyes aren't up to it! Time passes by so quickly, make the most of it.
Thanks Clive. A pleasure to watch. Just shows how good these HD models can look. I particularly liked the shiny ex works 4MT. It really looks the part.
thanks very much for your kind words - 4MT has been very smartly painted at the workshop and extra detail added Dublo is quality and certainly stands the test of time well IMHO
What a wonderful layout Clive, and an amazing layout. Well done sir.👍🚂🚃
Great fun and a joy to see older stock still in use on a more up to date layout.

Minories is such a workable plan yet so simple and very achievable too.
100% agree with you
