I must say, it is so good to have your commentary. It really lifts the enjoyment of these many great layouts. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, which are always very enjoyable.
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.
It really is, I missed it at Warley as my boy was worn out so we went home and missed a whole corner of the show so was pleased to see this layout at Abingdon
@@WesternSignalman It got me thinking about buying models from Europe. Until now I have only have locos that can be seen in the UK, but some of the locos on those layouts look really cool and would look quite at home on my layout! Cheers, Andy
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
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.
Western Signalman - Any chance of onscreen caption rectifying the error (not sure if that is technically possible) as I have had few emails asking me if it can be corrected. Kind regards Terry
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.
This video is very inspirational, gives me a whole boatload of new ideas! 56:53 pronounce: |see |- |da ik| (I’m from that place sorry I couldn’t help it😂)
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.
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
@@obiwankenobi687 never said it was offensive. I just thought WS didn't know the DJ Steve Wright had died so let him know so he could try and alter his narration. It was on the BBC main news on the day so I was a bit surprised WS didn't know. WS tried to amend but couldn't so that's OK with me. Subject now closed IMO.
22:03 White acres is presented by the Stafford Railway Circle not high Wycombe there was misprint in the guide
Another excellent video with great commentary - thank you
Thank you glad you enjoyed it

No problem, I know they put a lot extra effort into this show but it really was top quality this year.
I know I am repeating various comments, but I found the commentary really fantastic, really enjoyed seeing the exhibition as well
Thank you very much!
Great video and clearly a good exhibition with most layouts operated in line with prototype practice and not toy train sets! Nice commentary too.
Was an excellent standard of exhibition was very impressed with it
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.
Absolutely agree this is one of the best shows I’ve ever been too and wasn’t spoilt by hundreds of traders dominating the show
Moors View is a stunning scenic layout , so well done
It really is, I missed it at Warley as my boy was worn out so we went home and missed a whole corner of the show so was pleased to see this layout at Abingdon
Great video of all the layouts on show, brilliant commentary and information on all the layouts Thank You
Thanks for watching and the kind comment
Another well narrated video, thanks. Especially enjoyed this one as I'm a fan of N gauge; so much more too add when you've a limited space. 👍🙂
It certainly has its benefits I’ve been building my lad his own as the oo he had dominated his room
Excellent as ever. Have I said Los Tanimals is one of my favourite exhibition layouts!
You have now 😆
Nice to see layouts modeling different parts of the world. Thanks for sharing! Liked and Subbed, Cheers, Andy
Wasn’t it great I think this is one of the most continental shows I’ve been too

I’ll look into it but I have a feeling I can’t do that
Looks like I can I’ll have a look at it tomorrow
Many thanks
Fantastic film of the day.
Thanks and thanks for watching
@WesternSignalman if going to visit Tings in Lymington Spar in September. Say hello as I will be helping out on the large continental layout.

Too bad it doesn’t look like that these days, I can see it from the window of my signalbox and it does look like in it’s in a bit of a sorry state.
@@WesternSignalman It was last time I saw it, just after it had been brought back from Switzerland.
This is the first time I've seen a video of an Australian layout outside of Australia
Certainly first for me in Ho but I think I may have seen a n gauge one once thinking about it. But it was a nice change
This video is very inspirational, gives me a whole boatload of new ideas!

Superb layouts in this video.
Was a top quality show
Excellent
Can someone please tell me what the hell is EM gauge?

The radio DJ Steve Wright is no longer with us - he died on 12th February this year; might you change the narration?
See what I can do
nope didn't work
Erm why. He didn’t say anything offensive leave the narration as it is it’s fine

@@KN-yc8wu but why change? can’t the name of someone be used in a video just because they’ve died
