A really enjoyable profile of two excellent layouts, thanks Alan. A very refreshing change to see a variety of operations and workings at the same time as the fascinating static details, instead of just a series of processions around a loop. The explanatory text adds a great deal of interest and the background music rounds it off. Kind regards, Bob.
Nicely filmed. Very nice choice of music to accompany the engine movements on superb layouts, that could only be a mirror of a long yesterday, in this green and pleasant land .
Quite delightful! There's definitely a real 'S&C' feel to the scene with the 8F at 1:15. Nice use of the backdrop to give a feelof rather ominous skies brooding.
This is what I call excellent modelling possibly the best layout I've ever seen .Only pendon betters this. This layout should be the benchmark for other's to aspire to .The detail on this layout is amazing. Well done to all involved and thank you for your video
For the next video, can you leave the trains out and do a tour of all the scenery. The layouts look fantastic, but it's not possible to see all the scenery detail when the focus is just on the trains. The scenery is, after all, what modellers spend most of their build time on!
Today I watched this video again and compared it to the other one version of Malham at YT, too. What a difference! I clearly prefer the version above. A great merit to Parsound's excellent camera work generating this special 'Pendon Museum mood'. He emphasizes skillfully details without losing the overall view. Last but not least sound only consists of unobtrusive music, e.g. Satie's Gymnopédie 1, which underlines the mediative mood.
Of the two, I prefer Malham, but only slightly! It is a very pleasant change to see shunting operations rather than tail-chasing. I like the representation of Malham cove in the backscene, but I have a little query - Where's the Pennine bus, out from Skipton? Oh, of course! The train service is so good, there's no need for the bus. Silly me!
Just minor observation, Malham appeared in the Sept 2017 mag not Oct. The beauty of Malham is it's basic simplicity, any modeller can achieve this with just a little effort and skill without breaking the bank. Not a classical music buff so can someone id the various pieces?
Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I have made the amendments. The background music is: Morning Mood - Grieg E Minor Prelude - Chopin Gymnopedie - Satie C Major Prelude - Bach Allemande - Wahneta Meixsell Sicilian Breeze Moonlight Sonata - Beethoven All are available from the TH-cam Audio Library.
Music may be 'good', BUT totally inappropriate for a model rail layout -fortunately switchable. Poor video handling - high angle longshot's, aerial views - when were railways ever seen from the air? - Definitely a Video Op vacancy for 'model ground level input'. Poor 'colour film'! Frankly on this 'pretty' awful sample, little hope - nothing wrong with the layouts
Wow, did you ever miss the point! This is a symphonic video designed as "slow TV" and mesmering viewing. The colour is atmospheric, as is the music and the camera shots are designed to create a rich, visual experience. It is a peaceful, relaxing piece of visual and aural delight. Of course we all know that, in reality, there would be lots of noise and dirt - but that is not what the author of the video is trying to achieve here. Rather, it is a nostalgic dream world - and wonderful to watch.
Wow what a great layout 😎🙏👍💟🤘
A fantastically detailed layout and beautifully put together video. Thank you for posting.
Thank you for your kind comments. It is our pleasure.
I live in Cornwall and have cycled past the remains of these drying sheds, nice to see them brought to life, fantastic modeling|
Thank you for your comment. I will pass it on to Phil.
Truly, the choice of colors and positions make some of these scenes works of art.
Thank you John. I'll pass your kind comments on to Phil. Alan
Superb modelling! Well done.

A great layout so full of atmosphere, memories of railways of the past.
Thank you.
Even the music is beautiful! Thanks!
We're so pleased that you enjoyed it. Thank you for your comment.
Thank you for subscribing. May I refer you to a similar video on:
th-cam.com/video/ETwIYBuiTYE/w-d-xo.html
Both layouts are an inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, most kind. It is our pleasure. Alan
Very true. :-)
Good choice of music- Elgar's Enigma Variations sets the backdrop to a wonderful layout catpuring the spirit of the Dales...
"Morning " by Grieg wasn't it?
Absolutely stunning. Has me itching to start creating once more.
We're pleased to hear that it inspired you.

My pleasure Noel.

Mighty impressive models!
Thank you. I'll pass that on to Phil. Alan
Awesome layouts!...
Thank you John. I'll pass that on to Phil. Alan
Superb layout, and very fine film!

An interesting comment Jim which I will bear in mind.
If had to choose a favourite, I'd say the first is it for me. But the second is still a very pretty layout. :-)
Thank you. We're pleased that you like them.
Both layouts remember me to Pendon Museum. - Heinz
From Phil: "Thank you. That is indeed a compliment." Alan

Thank you for your kind and positive critique, much appreciated. Have a good Christmas. Alan
Oh oh, I've fallen in love with that opening mage, the loco underneath the portico, backlit. You makee big?
Yes, that's a lovely HR shot by Phil.
Two lovely, evocative layouts, but why Greig rather than modern English composers?
fantastic
Most kind Alex. Thank you for subscribing.

Thank you for your comment.
for me malham,is a very close to marthwaite, built by david jenkinson in the early sixties
A compliment indeed. Jenkinson was an exceptional modeler.

4:50 makes the fireman's job so much easier when you don't need to get down to couple up!
You can't beat a good buckeye!
Great modelling but 👎🏻 for soundtrack I’m afraid
