Thank you for recording my layout - I have seen various TH-cam videos featuring the layout over the years and I have to say that I think that this is the best so far. Just to say that the photographer who pops out of the taxi to photograph the steam train is a 3D printed version of me. 2001 was the very end of main line steam on China Rail itself, but did live on until 2005 on the 600 mile Ji-Toing 'regional' railway which was not officially part of the national network. Industrial steam certainly lived on until 2020 in one remote area of the NW of China, but the current situation is unknown - to me at least. Thanks again for posting this.
Thanks Paul, so glad you enjoyed the video and well done for creating such a fantastic layout! Thanks for the corrections and further info too - I've pinned your comment so that it will remain at the top for anyone else interested in the layout. Thanks for watching 😃
I saw this at Alexander Palace, it was incredibly impressive and very busy with people wanting to see. Makes a nice change to the normal UK and USA layouts
Yes that's where I filmed this video too and you're not wrong I had to wait quite a while to get to the front as it always had a large crowd around it. It definitely stood out as something very different! Thanks for watching 😃
Just splendid ! This layout nails exactly what contemporary China looks like, and with a minimalistic setting. It's great to see something original like that in model train form, thanks for the author of this layout.
It's pretty fantastic isn't it - I always feel that the atmosphere a layout creates is one of the most important things and this has buckets of it! Thanks for watching 😃
That was really cool to see. The vehicles running also made me think can I do something like that. Thanks for taking us along for this exciting adventure. GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖
Really glad you enjoyed it, it's always nice to feature something a bit different and I though the working vehicles were really cool too. Thanks for watching 😃
My thought's exactly! Normally when I see a layout that's outside my usual area of interest I pass by... but Beijiao was so well presented and so engaging it really captured my (and everyone else's) attention! Thanks for watching 😃
You certainly do get the atmosphere of the busy city outskirts with this layout from the trains, the moving cars and even the work going on in the tiny shops at the very back! Thanks for watching 😃
It's certainly an incredible layout and definitely something different to see here in the UK. There was a crowd round it all day when I went to film this so hopefully it will inspire others to have a go at similar layouts! Thanks for watching 😃
Great video mate. I have to say I'm really impressed with this layout the detail is very inspiring and their are certain elements I can use on my Railway layout. - Nicholas.
Glad you enjoyed it Nicholas! I agree we can all learn from layouts like this, even if they are a bit different to what we normally see the basics of presenting a scene are very much the same. Thanks for watching 😃
I've been wanting to see this layout for ages! Interesting fact though, you mention how steam in China was "just hanging on" in 2001, there have actually been steam engines used as late as 2019 (possibly even now) around the coal mines in Sandoling, Xinjiang! Still a great video, just wish these models were still available for a not insane proce...
Oh wow, good to know! Since the layout was set in 2001 I incorrectly assumed that was when Steam was coming to an end but it's really interesting to know it may still be running even to this day. Thanks for watching 😃
That is something, no doubt. The steam locos have an almost U.S. flavor. They could have been built by Lima or Baldwin. Some of the Chinese working steam video's here are also quite fascinating.
Interesting you think they look American, I though with the black bodies and red wheels they had a slightly German look... mind you I know nothing about Chinese, US or German locos so who am I to judge. I imagine other parts of the world look at British steam locos and think they all look the same too 😂 Thanks for watching 👍
My first time to see a "Chinese Model trains and layout". The street view is fantastic, realistic and detailed, however with a very limited section. What is the brand of the model trains and vehicles? a Chinese one? Can you please provide more close-ups to view the quality of the trains and vehicles? Way to go!
Just to clarify this isn't my layout I just filmed it, so I'm afraid I can't be much help in regards to H0 Chinese Models. I believe it's attending the Warley exhibition in a few weeks time though if you wanted to see it close up in more detail. I imagine the operators will be happy to answer any questions you might have. Thanks for watching 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! As far as I know they only do Chinese locos in HO scale... though I'll admit it's a long way from my limited expertise so happy to be corrected by anyone who knows better. Thanks for watching 😃
It's an interesting point, perhaps if Bachmann did start selling them more widely it would encourage more people to take an interest in these sorts of railways. Certainly food for thought. Thanks for watching 😃
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy I mostly wish companies would do anything more than just Europe and USA XD Only recently was I able to get an Australian locomotive 'affordably'
I've noticed that a lot of these building types have been showing up on model shop sites lately. Unfortunately not for me, as I just want to do a boring UK layout. ;)
Hello everyone looking at this video of my layout. If you like what you see, would you consider joining my exhibition operating team? My existing team is spread all over the country - Watford (me), Barnet, Wandsworth, Croydon, Carshalton and Coventry. So, you can see that getting a team to any given exhibition is quite daunting. Ideally I need a pool of 10/12 potential operators who can be called upon depending on where the next show is. So, how about it? There is scope for anyone to be part of the team no matter where you live. So, if you like what you've seen please consider joining in. Thanks. Paul

It's certainly spectacular to watch and I agree it's a really unique looking layout! Thanks for watching 😃
I love this layout - I have seen it before , layout and rolling stock are amazing to watch . Thanks for sharing this !

Amazing theme, great layout! Thanks for showing!

Wow enjoyed watching your channel thanks for sharing DD.

It’s always cool to see another country in model form.
I agree, I know absolutely nothing about Chinese Railways so everything was new to me which made it all the more intriguing. Thanks for watching 😃
VERY AWESOME layout! One does not see Chinese outline much, so a breath of fresh air!
My thought's exactly! Normally when I see a layout that's outside my usual area of interest I pass by... but Beijiao was so well presented and so engaging it really captured my (and everyone else's) attention! Thanks for watching 😃
It's a very interesting layout and there's always something going on, very cleaver how the vehicles move as well but in general its a very good layout
You certainly do get the atmosphere of the busy city outskirts with this layout from the trains, the moving cars and even the work going on in the tiny shops at the very back! Thanks for watching 😃
Great video, love to see different regions of the world modeled. Thanks for sharing, stay safe. Ken
Thanks Ken, yes it's always nice to see something a bit different isn't it. Thanks for watching 😃
Greetings from Hong Kong,
I'm glad that someone in UK do appreciate things from the East! Looking forward to see more of these layout, like Japan!
It's certainly an incredible layout and definitely something different to see here in the UK. There was a crowd round it all day when I went to film this so hopefully it will inspire others to have a go at similar layouts! Thanks for watching 😃
Thanks for the interesting video 🙏 a great layout 🤩 Greetings from 🇧🇪

@@ThatModelRailwayGuy yeah there's some good videos of them still working in those coal mines. Incredible that steam is still being used!
Yeah . 600 bucks for steam loco . It’ more than BLI commodore vanderbilt
Well done 🙂👍
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching 😃
Beautiful and different.
It’s certainly nice to see something different at an exhibition! Thanks for watching 😃
Like-relly amazing ~ =))

Do bachmann china come in n scale
Glad you enjoyed it! As far as I know they only do Chinese locos in HO scale... though I'll admit it's a long way from my limited expertise so happy to be corrected by anyone who knows better. Thanks for watching 😃
There are now several manufacturers making Chinese N gauge, but no steam locos yet. I can let you have contacts for shops in Hong Kong that sell them.
Weird to think this was 2001 and now to think of the railway network China has now
Apparently steam power is still used to this days in areas round certain coal mines! Thanks for watching 😃
I really wish Bachmann sold these outside of China
It's an interesting point, perhaps if Bachmann did start selling them more widely it would encourage more people to take an interest in these sorts of railways. Certainly food for thought. Thanks for watching 😃

When they first produced they they did import some but that way many years ago (around 2005?).
