One of the greatest shows on earth!! I had a wonderful time there and spent just under a thousand quid on new equipment!!
I’m very pleased with my instant purchases, which consisted of a DCC Sound Class 101 diesel multiple unit with working lights, both inside and outside, a DC Class D1 Southern steam locomotive and a Terrier tank locomotive. I purchased two open wagons and got a conflat for joining The Model Railway Club.
Some great models 👌
I have just bought a Mallard, a Merchant Navy, a Flying Scotsman, version 2, a New Maintenance Train, 4 Class 08, 3 Class 47, 2 Class 23, and 4 sets of the Class 205 in 3 different liveries. The bonus? It didn't cost me a Grand.
Looks like you met the Yeah man.
Thanks. Didn’t make it this year, doesn’t seem to have been as well attended as usual, looking at the video.
Thanks for watching
It was a good show I went Sunday and it had a good volume of visitors
If those are the greatest layouts in and around the Greater London area, I can hardly wait to show off my second layout, the Epping Ongar Railway in the loft.
The problem is that I’m going to have to wait for my DCC Sound Great Western Steam Rail Motor. I could only order it from Kernow at the show!!
It Will be worth the wait they look awesome 👌
As usual the modelling was superb but it was disappointing that several of the major suppliers appeared to decide it wasn't cost effective for them to attend (Hornby, Dapol). With the closure of Hattons and other shops (my two local shops have both closed) it's a bit concenting that the hobby may be going through a purple patch.
I felt the show had less of a buzz to it this year maybe it was a result of the loss of some traders missing the show
Not unexpected. Brexit has increased import duties and taxes. China has increased their prices. Add in extreme energy costs, inflation, the highest taxes since WW2, low salary/wages increases, except for MPs. Plus, a lot of modellers have their own 3D printers and can produce what and when they want. Local councils, with the squeeze applied from central government, have to increase business rates, putting a greater strain on local high streets and shopping centres.
Great video! I went on the Saturday and I wanted to get some footage of the ALLYPALLY sign but it was infested with children. How are you getting such good close-ups? Zoom lens or just getting your camera in there? My first attempt at a video is here: th-cam.com/video/ESQAVhqgB-8/w-d-xo.html - would appreciate some feedback!
I do both the things you suggest when filming it's a mix of getting in close and using zoom but I will always try to get physically close if possible, zooming increases camera shake problems and the exposure difference with zooming can make the finished video inconsistent in appearance, zooming can be useful as it adds compression of distance in the shot which can be a good effect
Thanks for watching 👌
@@greasyrailsThanks for the tips. I'm currently filming on a phone so I think I need better kit if I really want to explore zooming. You've shown me how effective it is so now I want to do it. :)
