      I was hoping there was nothing left to do now - except, of course, maintenance - so he could just enjoy being on his layout, and then I read the comment here about his passing away; while all men have to die, this is still very sad news...

    I really would love to know what kind of a person 'dislikes' a video like this? I've got no interest in model trains and I only came across this video by accident. Having said that I can appreciate the pure love and passion this guy has for his train set and it's clear he's invested thousands of pounds and thousands of hours getting it to look the way it does. It really is a work of art! I just don't understand how someone could watch it and not be impressed?

      Just imagine if all the tens of thousands of pounds he's spent digging out the basement, putting in the trap door, buying all the model kit, painting up the walls etc etc etc; imagine if he'd given that money to his kids to put down a deposit on a house! They wouldn't now be living in a grotty flat with the paint peeling, paying the landlord thousands to live in a rabbit hutch. But of course all that is just "jealousy" or because the younger generations "spend all their money on Pret coffee". Baby boomers really don't get it. Micturate tens of thousands on a model railway and it's fine, but Gen X are responsible for their own plight by spending £2 every now and then on a coffee.

      @@WilliamSmith-mx6ze I'm sorry but what does that have anything to do with this video. Is he not allowed to enjoy himself? Does he have to give his hard earned money so his kids (if he has kids) can get a house? Why can't he have a hobby? I'm only 16 and I have a model railway too. I understand very well the pains this man went through to have such an amazing layout. I struggle to see your logic. You dislike this video because a man spends his own money on a hobby which he enjoys instead of giving it to his kids which we don't even know exist. Just because you are frustrated about something in your own life doesn't mean that you have to resent those who enjoy what they do and create something as fantastic and beautiful as this man's model railway.

So I searched and searched until I found it again; I found this video once again. Thank you very much, you have changed my life. It is a very wonderful railway that you have. Take care and I hope you have a wonderful evening.

    I have seen many many layouts on TH-cam and in real life and I want to say that this period layout is one of the very best I that have seen. It has everything a real railway enthusiast could want, the lighting on the layout is to me spot on, most other layouts are very brightly lit which I believe takes away from realism. What a superb use of an area right under the floorboards, you have built a monument in a confined space. Credit to the person who did the filming, I watched it a few times so well done. I envy you not just for your layout but your very understanding partner in life. Good luck to you both and thank you for sharing your railway paradise with us.

When my Mother could no longer climb the stairs due to knee problems they moved into a bungalow and sadly he had to give up his pride and joy which he did it willingly. I sold all his massive collection of model railway equipment over the internet piece by piece and made enough for them to enjoy another 20+ years together until they both passed.

      I was thinking the same thing. I'm 72 yrs. old and I have a layout in three rooms in the basement of our home in Oakland, California. It's 00 gauge, based on the Birmingham area of the Midland Region in the period just after nationalisation. I'm fortunate in that the basement has 6'6" headroom. I can't imagine having to be doubled up within 4' all the time. This may seem a daft idea, but couldn't you dig out the area between the layout a further couple of feet, which would make it more comfortable for you? It would also make the tracks relatively higher, so that you would get the same perspective as you would standing by a full-sized railway.

We traveled a lot with our family following my Father as his work finding oil in Texas, Peru, and Indonesia dictated. So we never collected many things that required frequent transportation to a new town or city. I have enjoyed videos like this one because all little boys were train freaks, slot car freaks, or playing army out in the front yard till late at night. I really like this view of my past. Cheers!

    What an awesome layout. My little boy age 3 loves watching this video. We are just starting on his first layout, a 6x4 board oo gauge.

    How many times do you think he has banged his head. I have to say this is truly a train guy to have to craw around to have this train layout. Thumbs up to him......

    Its this video that got me caught up in it again, last foray into model railways was as a lad back in 1990.. loft conversion in progress and track layout designed.. the bank balance taking a hammering, its coming along.. slowly!!
    so happy this stuff still exists and hobbiests are keeping the scene alive.

    Fantastic great model trains and landscape. Why would anyone dislike this? Probably people who can do nothing for themselves.

  • @FatguyInthedeli

    My real question is how did he build all the landscaping, and town features. It all looks so impressive

    I was born in 1955 and i know how this man fells they were lovely times & the world was slower & my old nan used to bring me to kings cross to see the trains .sometimes i was lucky to get up on the footplate and blow the whistle .the world is a better place for this man

    This is amazing how a man in his 70's can build such a railway . Mine is kind of like his and I'm only 11

  • @davidblack5050

    This is just fantastic. An absolute credit to him. And an excellent reason to stay fit and supple into his old age to ensure he can keep enjoying it.

      Google "George Selios Franklin and South Manchester railroad". This one is amazing, but George's scenery and structures put every other single railroad I've ever seen to shame. It has probably 5 times as much fine details as any other in existence.
