  • As everyone is housebound due to the arctic weather, I thought I would compile a video of Pete Waterman's fantastic 7mm model layout....just to (hopefully) brighten peoples day.
    So make a cup of tea/coffee, sit back and enjoy the show (as they say).
    Best watched in full High Definition (1920x1080).
    Many thanks to all my loyal subscribers, I do not take any of you for granted.

    My brother and I used to spot trains at Leamington in the early to mid sixties. It's great to see the locations we used to go to modelled exactly as they used to be then. The Avenue station, the path up to the shed over the canal, Clapham Terrace, Castles, Kings...Great times; great layout.

    The weather is not so bad here in Australia, but then I do not need that as an excuse to watch this inspiration for the hobby. Thanks for keeping my addiction for this layout going!

    Weather here on the East Midlands / Lincs borders fine...most we had was 2 inches. But hey! who needs an excuse to watch more of the wonderful layout, as always excellently filmed . Nice to see a decent amount of goods trains and a bit of shunting. Need to make another coffee before I watch it over again! Thanks Dave. Cheers, Bob

    Always a pleasure to sit with a cup of coffee and see Leamington Spa in full operation and even more so during this period of unseasonally cold weather. Thanks for sharing Dave. Paul

    Hi Dave. "They" were right to say "enjoy the show" - that was a well made compilation, and as usual, I watched it twice yesterday, the second time seeing a lot more. No matter how much modellers invest, they all face exactly the same problems, and I'll bet Pete and his team have a few expletives you mute lol. Great video. Alan.

    • @DaveCooper36b
      @DaveCooper36b  6 років тому

      Many thanks indeed for the compliment, I really do try to make it as interesting as I can, and comments like yours tell me I am doing it right.....thank you.
      At one time I use to leave the swearing in, but I didn't like it, as it reflected on my "reputation" . I have over 4,000 subscribers and I do not want to loose them, as some have children/grandchildren watching them.

    I know how much work goes into making / uploading a video, so thanks for sharing Dave - have a glass of wine to warm me up with the film :) Never got to Doncaster - the meeting was postponed. Thanks for including some of the locos with sound cards :)

      I appreciate the fact you know how much effort is involved Brian, it took me nearly all week sorting snippets from various videos.....but it is my hobby....I love it. Then I get a comment from you like this, and it makes it all worthwhile. Many thanks Brian for your continued support.

    That Midland Compound is really hauling arse. Several off them finished out their days from Bedford shed along with some 3P and 2P 4-4-0's hauling outer suburban services from St Pancras.

      @DaveCooper36b  6 років тому

      I hope sometime soon, I am as frustrated as you are.
      You see live the other side of the Pennines to Pete Waterman, and the weather so far this year has been too bad for me to cross. I will get over as soon as I can, as there has been a hell of a lot of work done on the layout.

  • @tulyar1043

    Once again a good video of LEAMINGTON. The model of A2 60539 is it kit built or scratch built? Has JLTRT ceased trading? as the website is down and the entry in the traders list of the GOG has been deleted

    • @DaveCooper36b
      @DaveCooper36b  6 років тому +1

      Unfortunately JLTRT is now under administration. Regards the A2, I will try and find out as a group from Lincoln brought their own locos with them.

    • @tulyar1043
      @tulyar1043 6 років тому +1

    @albratgaming2348 5 років тому

    Filmed by a Locomotive Watcher... Nothing is worse than zooming the locomotive and not showing the entire train / giving an over-view of the line / railway that the train is running on. Spoiled the video for me.
    There were some nice shots and fixed camera action. The model railway itself is also loverly.

    • @proudyorkshireman7708
      @proudyorkshireman7708 6 років тому

      Duck Man I think he doesn’t want figures on it as what’s the point of putting moving trains with static figures that don’t walk around
      And the layout is still being made
