    What a superb looking exhibition- something for everyone. Never seen an Australian layout before, and in fact, I've asked a few Australian model railway you-tubers whether they never fancied modelling their own county, and they were put off by the unusual gauges and lack of RTR stock.
    Great video, made all the better by your narration as usual. Thanks!

      It does surprise me that British seems to quite popular in Australia, this layout was actually the second Australian layout I later remembered I had seen a n gauge Australian layout a few years back, certain an intresting prototype. Glad you liked the video 👍

    Thank you for sharing what appears to be an excellent show with many superb layouts during an era when (sadly) some exhibitions are now long on expectation but short on experience....
    It must have been around two decades ago when I last attended Abingdon exhibition and so pleased to see it is still thriving! 😎

    The very best exhibition I have ever experienced. The backdrops, stock and layouts were extremely well developed and displayed. Congratulations Abrail24 and Western Signalman. A travelled Canadian living in Mexico.

    May I congratulate you on a suburb video of the 2024 Abingdon Exhibition. I would like to correct you in that Whiteacres is presented by members of Stafford Railway Circle not as you stated in your commentary, as one of team who helped build and operate the layout I unfortunately had to pull out of operating this weekend due to not being well. Seems I have missed a brilliant exhibition. Well done to Trevor and the Abingdon club team. Terry

    • @WesternSignalman
      @WesternSignalman  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I do apologise, I got all my info from the show guide it also said the layout was HO scale 🤔 ( I think the guide could have done with being proof read as there was a few other grammatical and information errors). Nonetheless it was indeed an excellent exhibition, one of the best I been too in some time I’d say, the quality of layouts was top draw.

    Nice to see a model of "Kerosine Castle" (18000 Gas Turbine|) on the "Burdock" layout. I remember it in the 1950's going through Slough, albeit in Black & Silver Livery. Amongst all the Steam, it was very futuristic to us trainspotters of the day.

    Can someone please tell me what the hell is EM gauge?

    • @WesternSignalman
      @WesternSignalman  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It’s one of the fine scale standards used on OO gauge models adjusting wheels and building track to the correct scale size. EM stands for eighteen millimetres which is the distance between the rails.

    • @DenisSimmonds
      @DenisSimmonds 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      As the owner and member of Cardiff 4 mm group of Pencader layout this is to EM standards or 18.2 track gauge which is nearer true track gauge of 4 ft 8 inches
