An incredibly big job. How on earth could manage to finish it at such a high standard in just eight weeks time? You must have 48 hours in a day… Big wow 🤩
Lots of shortcuts and time savers; no structure is a model kit, it's just 3D printed of solid resin, painted, weathered and laid into place--everything you see is done quickly for the most part, it just looks like great effort has been taken.
@@Hjerte_Verke Unless she's been able to purchase the plans already in Blender then it might well have taken longer than building a kit. I also know people who think kits are shortcuts, and everything should be scratch-built. However, what really makes this is the painting - that has taken a lot of skill to get right. You say that it 'just looks like great effort has been taken' - isn't that the idea? She may have used her great skill and experience to cut down on the effort a bit, but the end result is something I think we'd all be striving for.
Nice one! Brought back memories for me. I used to attend French and Latin extra tuition at the big house, top far left. During the 1960’s. Just as it was. Feels like yesterday.
This is gorgeous! I can't believe you packed this much detail into two months. That's absurd for a one person build. And as always, your presentation, editing, and narration are perfectly done.
Fantastic Kathy, I truly admire your skills and work. Would've been good if the 'Yesterday' channel actually showed what was scheduled tonight as well!
Just found your channel. Sorry couldn't wash the show, I live in the US. I doubt that it will ever be on US TV or even cables. Good work, very inspiring.
Hi Kathy. What an absolutely fabulous layout. It is so realistic one can almost imagine being right in the middle of it. I love building things myself but could never achieving the level of realism you have achieved. Gorgeous. I am about to start a layout of my own, at age 71 and I am looking forward to it since I have had a shed built in my garden to accommodate it. Wish me luck.
Hi Kathy, fantastic layout build and I love the fact that it’s modelled on an actual location and all in just 8 weeks!! What a deadline to meet but just watched it on TV as well and it gets some great coverage! I love all the scenic techniques that you use and it all flows so well! Cheers Gary
Congratulations on completing this stunning diorama and having it on television! The diorama looks very realistic and the work you put into it really shows. Thanks for sharing this tutorial.
All I can say is WOW from the realism of the scenery to the overall simplicity of the track plan, but it works. I am someone who loves to balance operations along with realism and I think this did just that.
Vivien Thompson, Shirley Rowe and KATHY MILLAT, you truly are one amazing artist. Railway modelling has generally speaking been the domain of men and I think the hobby is enriched by women and I can only imagine what a group of women could do building a club or exhibition layout. You leave in awe of the creativity. I believe we are all artists but of course some are simply exceptional and you are in that category.
I'm not sure why, but this video really resonated with me. Just the right amount of info, with plenty of pro tips at a nice pace. It helped that you know what you wanted to do and executed it. It's amazing what you accomplished in 8 weeks
Fantastic work Kathy. Very very nice but a real labour of love for you. I have seen your work online before but this really has taken it to a new level. I was brought up in Corris in Wales in the period 1971-1980. The industrial nature of slate quarrying was hugerly absorbing for me and I was lucky to visit the Braichgoch slate cutting sheds, which still retained their machinery even though there were just two men producing slate house nameplates and the odd snooker table by this time. I was actually able to push a flat wagon around the track inside the vast sheds, and use the cranes inside. Thanks for sharing, and now I have "refound" you I have clicked "subscribe"
This is impressive! That you did all of that creating, building and painting in just 8 weeks and with that great music at the end is absolutely amazing.
Really a lovely layout, full of character and atmosphere for the scene depiction. Im not a UK citizen, but from ZAR. Also great to see a lady doing the modelling hobby, in SA its rare but not uncommon to see ladies in the hobby, you girls have the potential and certain ability to make layouts and make them look fabulous. Well done for 2 months😀
Professional model making. For weathering I use ordinary water colour but mixed with a small amount of liquid soap. It dries matt and can take handling. You can make it permanent by spraying it with varnish. Top marks for a superb model.
Hi There Kathy, here's wishing you a great 2023 and thanks for sharing this clip. Apart from being an absolutely stunning piece of work, it clearly illustrates the impact and benefits 3D printing has bought to the hobby. Take care, Rgds BH
Wasn't expecting to see this pop up, I live just over the bridge from this scene and drive over it every day, amazing to see how it all used to look and how much is still the same! Great job :D
Hi Kathy, been following this on the livestreams, and as always, the finished results are stunning, looking forward to the next one, anyway, take care, all the best from Scotland, Stephen.
Very nicely done video. I’m old enough to remember the last days of mainline Steam in the US. My dad took me to watch, and those amazing machines left a huge impression on me. I must confess, the end of this video, with that evocative music, brought those memories flooding back, and got me a little misty. Thank you.
absolutely loved it Kathy. Amazing work and thank you for posting it. Especially the combination of the music and the mainline train slowly chugging in. Makes one go back to the era.
Thanks to the algorithm for pointing me at this. Standard of work is on a different level to most layouts - certainly made me think about what I should be aiming for. Thank you Kathy!
Hey Kathy thanks for that. It was good to see the 2 ERF lorry’s on your set. I started work there way back in 1970 at Sandbach when I left school. I was able to actually build one from scratch after a few years. All the way from the chassis to dropping the engine in cab on and wheels on. Then driving it. I’m gonna give TT120 a go in a spare room. Once again thanks Steve x
Really enjoyed that Kathy, even though I've followed the build it was great to see it all come together in one video. Great work again and very inspiring, I really must get on with mine. Looking forward to the next project, cheers James 😁👍
I think that is fantastic. And I totally agree with you about "That gap at the bottom of the building" Some of the absoulty fantastic professional layouts are ruined by that "Big gap" it makes the whole scene unprofessional. Keep modelling Kathy xx
Really useful video to show what can be done with latest techniques and materials, your skills at painting and detailing have captured the slate port as it would have looked at the end. Have subscribed!
Wow u truly have skill. I'm not into trains I just love the magic of minture world. Think it all stems from going Beconscot when I was about 5 in around 1968.
Great job, Kathy. Nice workaround for the couplers, sorry you guys over there are stuck with those. But so many other aspects of the railroad look charming, I guess it's worth it.
An incredibly big job. How on earth could manage to finish it at such a high standard in just eight weeks time? You must have 48 hours in a day… Big wow 🤩

Also helps that she’s a professional model builder.
An absolute genius 😍👌

That’s amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Your use of colour and weathering are especially impressive and i agree with you about the base of buildings not being bedded in. Lovely work.
16:40 Someone please help the fallen man 😀
This is fantastic Kathy. Really a masterpiece.
He’s just having a rest, pointing at the stars (LEDs) :-)
This was some excellent content! So cool to have a female diorama builder, my daughter loves watching you!
The fact you built this in 8 weeks is really impressive. A very nice looking one too. 👍
Absolutely incredible layout. I saw this at Warley 2023 and it was an absolute gem. You should be very proud! I wish I was as talented as you
Thank you very much!

I can honestly say this is one of my all time favorite layout builds. Absolutely beautiful!

Couldn't do something like this in 48 years never mind 8 weeks ... you outdo yourself every time ... absolutely stunning :D
Saw this on Hornbys programmes on tv and loved it.
Was blown away with it.
Absolutely awesome Kathy
Fantastic work Kathy. Thank you.

Quite a bit made it in to A Model World. It was great seeing it from both sides. Remarkable achievement 🎉
A very interesting watch. I really enjoyed the process. Very well done 👍👍👍👍👍
Very enjoyable to watch Kathy. Thank you for sharing your hard work with us.
Is there anything you can't do? So impressive. Love seeing you working with model trains and related scenery again.
Splendid build! Love models that actually model a historical location and event!
I'm not sure why, but this video really resonated with me. Just the right amount of info, with plenty of pro tips at a nice pace. It helped that you know what you wanted to do and executed it. It's amazing what you accomplished in 8 weeks
Editing 48 hours of footage alone is one hell of a task holy crap. Great job turned out excellent! Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic work Kathy. Very very nice but a real labour of love for you.

I watched the Hornby: A Model World episode. I was pleased to see that you were featured quite prominently! I thought it was terrific!
This is extremely impressive! I love this.
You are such an inspiration! Everything you do is amazing. Thank you so much Kathy.
Thanks, it brought back memories of Bangor student days in the 90s, when you could still wander along some of the track way.😊

I absolutely enjoy watching your videos. Keep them coming please Kathy.
Absolutely love all your projects! This one seemed special! It warmed my heart!
What a fabulous display and video! Really needed something to get me back into modeling, and I think I've found it, thank you!!
8 weeks, amazing. I hadn’t realized that I spend most of my time painting my model railroad until you mentioned it. So true. Thanks!
Definitely!
multiple high level skills here great work.
You're always an inspiration to us all. I, too, have eight weeks to complete a train modular for an upcoming n scale model railroad show.
New subscriber. Brilliant effort Kathy. Thank you for posting.
Wasn't expecting to see this pop up, I live just over the bridge from this scene and drive over it every day, amazing to see how it all used to look and how much is still the same! Great job :D
It’s great to hear you can recognise it!
This is such a brilliant, evocative layout. Also, a really succint but detailed video on how it was built, thank you :)
I live just round the corner! The buildings and bridge are exactly correct! So cool, brilliant craftsmanship!
Thank you so much!
Hi Kathy, been following this on the livestreams, and as always, the finished results are stunning, looking forward to the next one, anyway, take care, all the best from Scotland, Stephen.
We'll done Kathy, you're brilliant,Tim.🥋👍
Looks incredible. The attention to detail is great - you even have a drunk welshman floundering around on the ground. Top marks!
simply splendid.. excellent work!
A beautiful model which has a great balance. The subtle use of colours/weathering brings it altogether.
Very nicely done video. I’m old enough to remember the last days of mainline Steam in the US. My dad took me to watch, and those amazing machines left a huge impression on me. I must confess, the end of this video, with that evocative music, brought those memories flooding back, and got me a little misty. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing. Such great memories!
One of the very best railway modellers!
Absolutely incredible. You really are a fantastic modeller!
absolutely loved it Kathy. Amazing work and thank you for posting it. Especially the combination of the music and the mainline train slowly chugging in. Makes one go back to the era.
Thank you so much!
A wonderful layout, love the attention to detail.
Mate thats bloody way cool. True artist.
Thank you so much!
I followed all the lives, and the result is splendid.👏👏👏💚💚💚
Stunning. I am currently building an N gauge layout for my Grandson. This has inspired me to look at 3D printing. Thankyou for sharing.
Gorgeous work!
Thanks to the algorithm for pointing me at this. Standard of work is on a different level to most layouts - certainly made me think about what I should be aiming for. Thank you Kathy!
Level of detail is truly amazing. I'm not sure I would have that patience when I do mine.
Kathy, this is fantastic work, very much enjoyed the video.
Really high quality model of a neglected prototype, very enjoyable video. Start to finish time of construction - unbelievable !!.
Hey Kathy thanks for that. It was good to see the 2 ERF lorry’s on your set. I started work there way back in 1970 at Sandbach when I left school. I was able to actually build one from scratch after a few years. All the way from the chassis to dropping the engine in cab on and wheels on. Then driving it.
I’m gonna give TT120 a go in a spare room.
Once again thanks
Steve x
Impressive! Enjoy the TT - I’m moving to larger scales as I get older!
Perfect! Thanks for sharing!
I wish I could get as good to build such a layout in 8 weeks! It's absolutely amazing.
So clever. Love it!
Such a lovely layout, and in such short time! Beautiful! Rgds, Joachim
Really enjoyed that Kathy, even though I've followed the build it was great to see it all come together in one video. Great work again and very inspiring, I really must get on with mine. Looking forward to the next project, cheers James 😁👍
Wow, that is simply amazing and wonderful to see - brava!!!
Absolutely fantastic, very enjoyable watch! Joe
Wow Kathy just seen your video on this exquisite little railway,superb and done in such a short time. Bless you you've got such talent 👍.
Exceptional modelling. Inspirational. Pete.
I love this woman with all my heart! ❤❤❤❤
Excellent layout ! Very nice details ! 👍👍
So talented and watching your attention to detail and skills is mesmerising
Incredible modelling....simple and effective not cluttered like many....
If there ever was a model railway genius it must be you. I am far to lazy in my approach. Impressive work.
Fantastic work 👏
Absolutely love it! Fantastic work.... as always! 😉😍🥰🤩😎👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻🏆🥇
Great videos. Keep them coming please. It's nice to see you back into model railroading.
You are a talented lady. Much respect.
Absolutely fantastic work Kathy! Lovely modelling, great use of 3d printing and a well put together video. Highly enjoyable to watch. Well done!
Many thanks!
Love it Kathy. Happy New Year !
Impressive skills. I learnt a lot. Thank you
I think that is fantastic. And I totally agree with you about "That gap at the bottom of the building"
Some of the absoulty fantastic professional layouts are ruined by that "Big gap" it makes the whole scene unprofessional. Keep modelling Kathy xx
Really useful video to show what can be done with latest techniques and materials, your skills at painting and detailing have captured the slate port as it would have looked at the end.
Have subscribed!
Excellent job, Kathy! You're a star!
Very impressive. I don't usually do railways - fantasy dioramas is my thing - but this definitely tempts me.
Spectacular, thanks Kathy.
Wow the model railway looks amazing.
Many thanks!
Wow u truly have skill. I'm not into trains I just love the magic of minture world. Think it all stems from going Beconscot when I was about 5 in around 1968.
Absolutely impressive, Kathy. Well done.
Amazing job Kathy, impressive!
Absolutely brilliant modelling.
I’m personal glad you gave up being a accountant. Truly inspirational and passionate teaching!
Just saw the episode and i came on here to suggested video so i immediately subscribed
Nice work Kathy.
Great to see all the videos condensed into one video.
Mon from Monsville Railways
Great job, Kathy. Nice workaround for the couplers, sorry you guys over there are stuck with those. But so many other aspects of the railroad look charming, I guess it's worth it.
