I watched this video and it got me thinking. What’s going to happen to model railroading hobby. Im thinking this as I watch the video, so many of the displays appeared to be owned by older people. If there aren’t more younger people getting interested model railroading hobby could disappear. And that would be a great loss. The young people are spending so much time playing on their iPads, X-box, and other electronic devices. I hope more shows like this can get the younger generation interested in model railroading.

Sadly, I've been unable to make Warley this year, but this video has made it all better! Thanks for a wonderful upload.

Didn't go again this year, could not justify the cost. Brilliant video. Thanks

[@greasyrails]

No worries!

[@LiveSteamNick]

As an exhibitor, (OO Live steam) I was not able to see and enjoy most of what’s you have captured. Thank you so much for your efforts allowing me to recap and enjoy those missed exhibits etc!! Nick

[@greasyrails]

Glad you enjoyed it! I couldn't unfortunately film the live steam 00 as it was so popular I could not get near, but I've filmed it at other shows, thanks for watching

[@BrugerJimmy-tw8eu]

very nice, unfortunately I wasn’t able to go but I definitely will try next year

[@greasyrails]

Thanks for watching it was a good show, hopefully you can make it next year 👍

[@timbervalleyproductions]

1:12 I was manning that stand all day lol Great vid mate, subbed!

[@greasyrails]

Thanks Buddy👍

[@MrRockmuso]

Enjoyed the show very much, but the loudspeaker announcements in the hall are next to useless because of the echo.

[@greasyrails]

I agree about the announcements, just like the 80s British rail lol

[@franktuckwell196]

Amazing models, but as usual disappointed by lack of full attention to detail, in that very few trains have either passengers, or even crew .Steam train had a driver, but open cab, but usually its blacked out windows so no drivers in cabs. I was a train driver for BR and notice these short comings. Such a shame, they populate the countryside and put passengers on platforms, but cannot be arsed to put passengers in trains. Either you do all the job or don't bother.

[@greasyrails]

I do agree with your observations, I think that many modellers are using off the shelf stock and are worried about taking them apart or glueing in figures due to the eye watering costs of stock these days and maybe they are concerned about re-sale ability or damage they might cause by opening coaches up
Thanks for watching
P.s I put people in my coaches 😊

[@rivergladesgardenrailroad8834]

very valid point, Exactly what my thoughts are. Especially the prewar layouts. People were everywhere in those days, The platforms would be full if you have a station full of trains.

[@AndrewH561]

Thanks for sharing. I was there on Saturday and had an enjoyable time. All the layouts were great and had a chance to get lots of advice. The only downside for me was the chaotic parking but that was NEC's fault not Worley's.

[@greasyrails]

The parking I always find confusing at the N.e.c, thanks for watching

[@Demun1649]

How long does the "muzak" last, or do I just go to a more adult video?

[@HornManish]

Disappointing video, nothing shown of the excellent 3mm layouts that were on show.

[@johnmitchinson9577]

This is a disappointing video with no commentary to give context on what is seen.
