A good show, with some nice layouts. However the number of layouts that are regressing in operational methods back to the level of -a toy train set-, with roundy-roundy behaviour is concerning! I'm guessing these are layouts that have made the mistake of using DCC, which unfortunately was never designed with prototypical operation in mind, and this is revealed when you try using this overpriced equipment on an exhibition layout!

42. 07 You forgot to label (and show movement) on the -Pacific Electric-. It may have been a misunderstood stereotype, but I suspect no other layout there had trolley pole overhead. And modelling the Pacific Ocean and the home of the -Beach Boys- on a table top is quite an achievement. And for those who don't know, the PE prototype was a lot bigger than the UK Southern Electric.

Find a proven set of plans online

Hi Tim. Thanks for the usual high-quality; almost makes up for the fact that I couldn't get there this year. Good to meet you a couple of weeks ago. I'll take you up on your offer to see your works sometime. Look after your knees.

Scale, the relative size or extent of something. Gauge, the distance between the rails of a line of railroad track. You can have HO scale trains run on N scale track for example so that would be narrow gauge, not 'n gauge'

14: 53 I don't know if TMC reworked any other Jubilees into Atlas but if they didn't then that 5737 right there is currently being displayed on a shelf in my home. Very pleased with my purchase.

Excellent show, top of its class! Been there in 1989. Unforgettable. Particularly the non-standard scales/gauges and past-era british settings! Amazing works of art. Thanks for sharing this!

Gosh Tim you braved going all the way to London for this video? I enjoyed all the layouts, some are works of art, the painted backdrops, especially the ruined castle and the matching viaduct!

Rather nice, but I think it will take another 20 years till the quality of German model railroads (and equipment) will be reached. Sorry thats fact.

The sandstone bridges and castles are fantastic, had to remember that it is a model train set also. Top display, thumbs up to all involved.

Some great inspiration here. I spotted the Bayko building sets in the Binns Road Layout. I have my father's old one.
