- As the title suggests, this is part 1 of my visit to the Modern Image O Gauge Group (MIOG) exhibition, held at the Crewe Heritage Centre. A select number of layouts and traders made this a good day out, although the journey there and back seemed to take forever - not helped by a number of TOC's cancelling trains due to staffing shortages, due to COVID.
Layouts that feature in this film:
Cromer - This layout of the Norfolk seaside terminus features all the Anglia sprinters and multiple units you would expect to see, along with working signals, including SPAD indicators.
Chelagasa Town - This layout forms the indoor part of the owners larger garden railway. A wide variety of diesel traction can be seen, from Western region hydraulics to ECML Deltics and everything in between.
Oldham King Street and Alexandra Sidings - As the name suggests, this layout is set in the North West of England and features passenger and parcel workings, parading on lines at 2 levels. A Bury line EMU features on the lower level lines, along with a host of DMU's.
Dove-Dale - Set in the Peak District, freight services dominate this L shaped layout.
Bury Thorn & Sons - An industrial facility featuring dcc sound fitted shunters, fussing around with freight traffic.
I hope you enjoy the film. Please feel free to comment, share and like. Dont forget to watch part 2, featuring another 5 layouts and some stunning modelling - oh yes - and about 5 class 50's!
Very good scenery detailled!
Thanks for visiting
i like just viewing the layouts and the chatter is secondary. friend of mine who drove train near here went blind due to macular degeneration was moved into the front office . he is a On30 guy and clipped the wiring to speakers as he heard that all day and didnt want to hear it when he came home . lovely layouts . btw : i last heard that the drs took care of his md and is now able to see again but is in the front office .:) im tinplate or what yall coarse scale and its nice to see what our 2 rail bretheren are up to and it is lovely.
Thank you for your comment Allan
"O" gauge just looks right.
As I get older, I tend to agree 👍
@@ba14eagle Probably an eyesight thing then. I'm onto "G" now..!
Must admit, they are easier to weather and detail. 🙂
good exibition i just wish that last engine had a figure in the cab to give more realism as it slowly trundled forward :)
I know what you mean - driverless locos stand out - but not in a good way. Such a shame, as the modelling on the layout and the operation was superb.
Thanks for some ace footage of my layout (Bury Thorn and Sons) - the lack of crew is something I intend to resolve before the layout's next outing! Glad you enjoyed it :)
You are very welcome. I loved the little shunters and what youve done with them. The hooter on the green one was superb.
muted sound is fine the distracting conversations in the background often ruin the experience for me.
A commentary isalway much better -- describe the scene, locomotive and you impression o the skill demonstrated.
Thank you for your comment. I muted the sound due to some potentially inappropriate conversation / language.
