Made me smile again. It's a great escape from the cares of this world. Merry Christmas,and Happy New Year! Can't wait to see what blossoms in your imagination for 2025!!
Hello Brian, thank you for your lovely words, next year I should have more room and a permanent set up, which I intend to double the size of the layout, it's a very easy railway to come up with ideas for, wishing you all the very best, and see you next year, Carl
Complete awe of what you continue to create with this layout Carl. The imagination and execution of these ideas is amazing. I love what you are doing look forward to more in 2025. All the best.
Hello Tony, I managed to find your amazing layout, it's so so good, and I met somebody, sorry can't remember who it was, that had actually seen it, and of course mentioned it was far better to see it in real life, so hopefully one day I will, Chris has bought a few more bits from me in 009. I believe she has a new layout on the way., I really must get my lazy butt moving and come out and see you guys, wishing you all the very best my friend
Hello Tony, the builders are getting on well so hopefully in 2025 you could come and visit in the new model room and we could have a good chat about modelling, wishing you and your family the very best
Absolutely brilliant, Carl. We love it. Have you seen our Dylington Christmas Special. Have a great Christmas and best wishes for the New Year... Cheers James and Dylan 🎅 🎄 🙂👍
Thank you so much, and I wish you a wonderful holiday time and look forward to a great New Year, see you then with some more silly railways ha ha, all the very best to you
Colin my friend, you have supported me from the start and encourage me so much, I want you to know how very grateful I am, and I do apologise for not replying to everything or commenting on your posts, but be assured I do look and study your modelling, I've learnt a lot from you, wishing you and your family the happiest of times at Christmas, and of course you living where you do, will step into the New Year before us, it'll be a great one,
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year, thank you for liking this slightly different layout, I'm looking forward to doubling its size in 2025, it would be lovely if you hop on for the ride, all the best, my friend
This is so cool!! Do you have a video that explains how the layout came about? I watched the one where you were unhappy with early parts of the layout and problems with buckling track(2yrs ago) but that wasn't far enough back, 😄 I also feel I should know who Emett is but I'm at a loss
Many thanks for liking the layout, I have a Facebook page that I put most of this layout build on, it's called, Carl's Whimsical Railways, Rowland Emett was I believe a Draftsman, and he started drawing cartoons mainly of what was happening in the UK to the railway system, if you can get your hands on a copy of one of his collections, I would recommend the early morning milk train book, you can get it for around £15. It's by far his best collection. I'm sure you'll enjoy it., he was also invited to build a railway for the great exhibition in Battersea Park, it was mainly for children. My father was lucky enough to ride on it when he was a boy., probably his most famous work was the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, all of the inventions in the film were designed and made by him, wishing you all the best, Carl
Hi Carl, no worries, you're welcome. Excellent I'll come say hi, and take a look. OK, cool I'll have a look for it. I bet that would have been an amazing experience to ride around on his creations. Yeah, I found a video of one of his exhibitions and that said he'd made the Chitty Chitty inventions. Thanks for the info, Mick
