Thanks for videoing our show. General comment - why do so many layout operating teams run incongruous mixes of loco & stock? I don't mean complete trains of alternative periods, I can live with that on club layouts, but a train made up of stock completely out of period both within the train and between loco and train. Is it just lack of basic knowledge?
I enjoyed visiting the exhibition, filming the layouts and chatting with some of the exhibitors. As for the incongruous train make-up, you would have to ask the operators!
I’m in the process of revamping my 00 gauge layout. I would love to model a smaller and more niche heritage railway, like the Volk’s Electric Railway in Brighton.
What a fantastic show it was, and thank you for once again showcasing my layout, Barton St David.
@@BJP_Sim well deserved Benjamin. It's a wonderful layout.
I enjoy watching & filming this layout.
I love watching Benjamin's Barton St. David. A delightful layout for sure.
So do I. Not a complex layout and well operated.
@KeithTucker45 Yes, always very well operated. Unlike mine most of the time! 😂😂
Another great show you made me want to visit in the forthcoming two years!!
I've been to this show a few times and I have spent a few enjoyable hours there. Hopefully, I will be able to visit in 2025.
Chard Junction brings back memories of my childhood. I spent four years at boarding school just outside Wincanton.
I've seen this layout a few times and usually interesting to watch & film.
My favourite layout in this video is the Benbridge layout because I love the steam hauled passenger trains!
I've seen this layout quite a few times and I think it has a good mixture of late steam and early diesels.

That would be something different and not likely to have been seen at an exhibition.
i think the 009 tittleshaw had to be my favourite, with all they managed in a fairley small area..
It's surprising what can be achieved if you try!
Having worked with a heritage railway - the Epping Ongar Railway - I can confirm that for me, it has to be steam or electric. My choice is steam!!
There is something evocative about steam hauled trains!
I haven’t seen a large American steam locomotive over here, so on which heritage railway line are you modelling?
If you are referring to Church Hope, it fictional, still 'Work in Progress' and what runs is subject to the owners whims!
What’s a Small Prairie doing hauling two Southern carriages? This isn’t prototypical!!
I suspect the layout exhibitor just liked the Small Prairie or else didn't have any suitable carriages.
