Moors view is brilliant. Brave man to make it a snow scene, but has captured it beautifully ❤
Truly is a stunning layout. They really have done it justice
I have somehow missed this one. I am of the 2 that own, operate and built Shelvington (I am the "paint" guy). We both really enoyed this show (despite the cow poo smell lol) and this vid is excellent in terms of editing and videography.
In case anyone was wondering know we don't care that Moors View won both the awards, we voted for it to! I don't nomrally like snowy layouts but this was a masterprice. It somehow had an entirely destaurated colour pallete and totally deserved it's award, never seen anything quite like it.
Now I have to say nice things to anyone who said nice things lol.
Many thanks Lee and was good to see you guys there. Absolutely stunning layout that! I'm sure you can help with the many comments left on this video about it.
BTW, we are still very interested in having it feature in the magazine, so let us know when you are ready.
All the best!
I’ve not really got any interest in model railways but clicked on this video because the thumbnail is amazing…and I’m glad I did. Thanks you for posting.
Many thanks indeed! Was so pleased with that shot. Glad you enjoyed the show, was great to see so much modelling on display
Shelvington is a masterpiece, the running on Farbine Road is totally convincing, and Moors View made me shiver! I saw Shelvington many years ago, before it had progressed as far as it now, and if what one of the operators told me is correct, one of the builders isn't even interested in model railways. Whatever the truth, it really illustrates the massive difference that P4 standards make to realism.
Really is a work of art. Could watch the comings and goings of trains on there all day
I am of the 2 that own, operate and built Shelvington (I am the "paint" guy) so thanks very much Roger.
@@leepolson401 In my opinion Shelvington is one the best looking layouts on the circuit. What makes it so is the high quality of modelling, the consistent colour palette matching the period and the weathering.
I didn’t make the show this year so thanks for sharing this…. Brilliant
No problem at all! Really was a superb event
Exceptional filming and fantastic layouts, the level of detailing is second to none. Eddie🤓
Thanks Eddie, glad you enjoyed it. Really was a superb line-up!
Over the top. Beyond extraordinary. With ultra smooth camera work.
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed the coverage
Moors View is stunning. Thank you.
Really is a superb layout
Moors View is simply stunning. Great video.
Indeed! Was great to finally get to see it in the flesh
Some of those model railways are so realistic and simply 👏.
Truly some works of art on display. Glad you enjoyed it
Some great layouts . Thanks. Loved the snow!!!
Oh yes! The snow effect was done superbly! Glad you enjoyed the show
Some superb layouts, great to see lots of realistic slow running
Really was a superb line-up. Certainly a good mix
Amazing detail……a feast for the eyes….great camera work …….thank you..
Thanks John. Glad you enjoyed the show
What a great vid Callum, very good modelling . My fave was the snowy one especially with the 37 pulling the failed hst.. brilliant
Many thanks Kevin. Really was a superb show. Moorsview is just stunning, not often you see a layout with a snow scene. The failed HST set was specially put on for the cameras too ;)
Dawlish Warren is my favourite of the bunch. Some great captures from what appeared to be a fantastic exhibition 👍
Certainly was great to finally see it in the flesh after featuring it in Railway Modeller magazine. :)
Your lucky, where I live we lost all the train shows after Covid, the hobby seems to be in steep decline. I loved the snow scenery layout, it really made the locomotives stand out. Interesting use of forced perspective there as well.
Glad you enjoyed the coverage. Shame to hear about those shows
Some of that detailing is just unbelievable!! Top marks to all those layout designers & builders !! Thanks for posting!
Many thanks Larry! Glad you enjoyed the show. Certainly some superb modelling on display
I ,m come from Germeny , hello ! ...your Railrayn it,s so Beautifull realistik 😮🎉Thanke you verry much 😅🎉
Very nice l enjoyed the video very much and liked. Thanks DD.
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed the coverage
@@SDJR7F88 Thanks very much for replying to my comment. Like the work you are doing so l subscribe to your channel to improve mine to get some great ideas. Thanks DD.
Some great layouts. Love the smaller ones - the wagon works etc.
Certainly a very quirky one that. Just shows what can be done in a small place. So much operational potential
Some wonderful work here - congratulations to all of you.
Thank you for posting as there’s still many of us unable to travel. The camera work was spot on and the level of finish to the layouts was amazing 🙂
I’ve never ever seen a snow covered layout like the ‘Moors’ before either! Amazing 👍
Thanks ever so much for the kind words. I try my best at these events. Really was a some superb modelling on display, first visit to this one too. Was great to finally get to see Moorsview in the flesh after featuring it in Railway Modeller. Certainly different to see it with the 1980s stock too. Glad you enjoyed
@@SDJR7F88 👍👍👍👍👍
Totally unrealistic,,,,, trains don't move up and down on tracks,,, well not in Britain at the moment anyway,,,, joking aside, some stunning layouts on show here!, much credit to thier creators, thanks for sharing
Truly was a superb show! Glad you enjoyed it
Shelvington, absolutely superb, not only got juice rail fitted, but showed all the units i drove for BR. Plus trains illuminated, with both passengers and drivers evident. A lot of modellers don't bother and still use ghost trains.
I am of the 2 that own, operate and built Shelvington (I am the "paint" guy) so thanks very much. Top tip you can buy large packets of unpaited Preiser people seated, this is what we use though alas they normally have to have thier feet chopped off so they will sit flat lol. Saves a lot of money.
I went to that exhibition and you've captured all the glory of the layouts to the same level as being their in person
Many thanks indeed Josh! Really was a superb event. Never been to to this one before, but will be sure to do so again
Bribgs back great memories of how things were in real life on the main rsil networks in the 1970's and 1980's before the tories badly neglected it.
Thank you for the great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
My first Show and loved every minute of it.
My first visit to the Exeter one. Certainly a superb event!
very good modelrailway sceneries with many details
Glad you enjoyed it Susanne
Would I sound like a right nerd if I said I love this sort of thing? I love getting down to the eye level of the model people and watching as the trains go by.
Br proud - nerd-dom is great! 🙂
Looks like a good show. Great to see more modern layouts appearing at exhibitions as well. Thanks for sharing!
Really was an excellent event. Certainly a good mix of eras, locations and themes. Glad you enjoyed
Thank you for the video. I had planned to visit the show, but wasn’t able to at the last minute. Great coverage.
Me too. Good to see this video
No worries at all guys. Glad the video was of interest
A lot of great layouts and trains nicely filmed with steady camera work. Great job.
Many thanks! I try best to keep a steady hand, don't always work out though 😅
very good
Gutted to have missed this. Didn't even know it was on! Lovely layouts and great filming.
Shame you weren't able to make it. Hopefully back again next year.
The lighting is so realistic too
Inspiration for my forthcoming traverser. Thank you.
Glad it was of help! A very interesting layout that
Another high quality production. Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks indeed Kevin
Really liked Shelvington and sorry to have missed it. Normally attend Exeter but in 22 it clashed with my Holiday
Loved the little Tal-Coed 009 ! Beautiful model, quirky and interesting…
Certainly was a good little one that. Glad you enjoyed it!
Love Shelvington, especially the 4-COR. They were the most comfortable of trains back in the day - I spent many hours on them between Portsmouth and Waterloo.
One of the highlights for me! The leave of detail was stunning! Plus the station destination boards and announcements just added an extra sense of time and place to the scene. Bet they are a lot more comfy than the stuff currently running today... 😅
@@SDJR7F88 For anyone interested, I found that Shelvington can be seen on Matthew Farrell's YT Chennel.
I am of the 2 that own, operate and built Shelvington (I am the "paint" guy) so thanks very much, that is ours entirely (as in a scratch build) it's a mix of etched brass, 3D printed and (may) Archers emobossed rivet decals.
Lovely work...I wish we have something like this in India as well.
Bridport Town is an amzing layout and everything runs so well.
Truly is a superb layout
Wow, seen it all now...a moving bicycle at 25.25. Brilliant!
Is certainly impressive
"Brilliant", many thanks.
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed the show
thanks for posting have not been to a model railway exb but i did have my own in the late 80s wich my late father built. i have no room where i am now but i do have train simulator games on pc wich good but not quite the same. many thanks all very impesive. ricky
Glad you enjoyed the show
This makes me feel like becoming HO/OO scale person and enjoy rides in these trains.
Shelvington is fantastic! I grew up living behind the Reading-Tonbridge line so the Tadpole Units were still in use, and third rail at Dorking. Great memories! The detail, and weathering, is extraordinary.
I also lived at Gara Bridge where the trackbeds for the Kingsbridge line still are - I'd love to see a layout of that line - Avonwick etc
Truly is a stunning layout. They really have captured the location extremely well. The plethora of units has certainly captured lots of people's attention
I am of the 2 that own, operate and built Shelvington (I am the "paint" guy) so thanks very much Nick.
Seems like quite a decent show. Still not keen though on 100mph narrow gauge railways lol. Thanks as always for your efforts, Bob
An excellent event indeed!
Love how they modeled the third rail. Subway hobbyists could learn a thing or two on how it can be done.
Coming from the old Southern Region area, I always warm to anyone who attempts third rail operations. Not only the third rail itself, but the challenge of kit-bashing the electric unit and rolling-stock.
Thank you ! 👍
No worries Leo
I like how the speed of the trains is closely controlled. The trains start out slow then pick up speed when taking off and when you come into the station they gradually slow down and stop. Thank you for the detail. You don’t see this on every train layout.
Also, it seems that weathering of buildings and equipment is not a priority in Europe. It seems to be more common here in the states.
Glad you enjoyed the show. Certainly some superb modelling on display
Super video 🤩👌 wonderful exhibition 😍👍
Many thanks!
Really wish I could build something like that, I've always been into the railway since I was 8, looks so good how it doesnt just go round in a circle👍
This is amazing
Many thanks!
@ 37:19 Absolutely incredible!
Indeed! Certainly impressive
love the RhB layout of Pontresina.....instantly recognisable
Indeed! Seen it a few time now. :) Great layout
Fantastic
😂❤
vraiment splendide
Very good.
Always a good way to let off some steam and get your train of thought back on track🤓
Indeed! Glad you enjoyed it
So beautiful loss for words 👊
Glad you enjoyed it! So much stunning work on display
@@SDJR7F88 ..... These train layouts are more that just a hobby it's how good of a artist you really are all art !

20:05 Nice to see Kadee type knuckle couplers on Brit equipment !! They even look better (smaller) on OO than HO sized equipment as they've always been a tad large for HO !! Anyway, I was just thinking about Brit OO couplers and how kinda clumsy they look, and here comes the knuckles by sheer coincidence !!! 22:49 snow and equipment look fantastic !!
Indeed. They certainly look the part especially on modern stock. Moors View is simply stunning. Had the pleasure of seeing it at another show over the weekend.
What a great layout, a nice running/shunting session, I'm a fairly new subscriber I don't if you've done a drivers eye view of the complete layout if not that would be great to see, look forward to video 94
Hi Simon, this is footage of the Exeter Model Railway Exhibition
Great! So rare!
Many thanks
Schaut aus wie Echt! 😍
Really some top quality modelling on display
It was great little exhibition. Went on the Sunday with my partner.
Really was a superb show. Very good selection of layout on display
Love Dawlish Warren! I grew up in Dawlish and as a child in the seventies I used to love to go to the wonderful model railway layout in the station at the Warren, they had a good shop there as well. It was run by two brothers who lived in one of the Bungalows just before you got into Cockwood, I wonder what happened to them? I know the model railway is no longer there. I moved to Canada in 1999 but since 2016 live in Austria. I remember also when I was a kid there were two great places to buy model railway stuff. Exeter Pram and Toy and a wonderful little shop just across the iron bridge.
Still yet to visit the real location, even though I'm a Devon resident now! Hopefully I'll make it there one day when something special is passing through. Heard about the layout there at one point. As for the two shops in Exeter, the model shop there sadly closed down very recently. Again another place I didn't manage to get too
WOW! Bridport town actually had train crew, the others were ghost trains as they hadn't bothered to crew their trains.
The only layout to feature crew? You sure? I would say didn't bother... Hope you are aware how much it is to fit out a whole train with figures...
Some good quirky smaller layouts.
Really was a superb line-up
Love Shelvington especially the 4 cor
Really is a work of art
I am of the 2 that own, operate and built Shelvington (I am the "paint" guy) so thanks very much Raymond.
That fictional dartmoor layout was impressive When i saw it they were running 1950s/1960s stock
Oh yes! Looks even better seeing it in the flesh after featuring it in Railway Modeller magazine. They had the 50s/60s stock on it for the feature, so was interesting to see it with the 80s stock.
@@SDJR7F88 yes agreed
You could easily put 3 middle csrriages of class 101 msrk trains between the 2 class 43 locomotives if you were operating your own model railway at home.
Thought I heard the voice of another prominent UA-camr in the audience?
Thank goodness for smaller, simpler layouts that ordinary people can build.
Always good to see a good selection of a different layouts, showing different interests and skill levels. They play a massive roll in getting the general public involved in this amazing hobby.
The US-Canadian Modular Layout is well done (Even the freight cars are correct for the time period)
Indeed. Was great to see such long takes being formed and moved around the layout.
Absolutely stunning modelling. The only criticism I'd make of some of the layouts is that there are too few people - they really do need a little group of men in overalls, standing around having a cigarette.
Very details
Glad you enjoyed
Can anyone advise what class the dmu is and who models them (Bachmann etc) at around 2:25? These look like the units that were around in the mid 70’s at Eastleigh. Fantastic detailing and the video has given me many ideas, thank you for posting.
I am of the 2 that own, operate and built Shelvington (I am the "paint" guy) so thanks very much. That is a Hastings, and Eastleigh and the area is exactly where they used to run. It isn't made by anyone, we took a Bachmann EPB but ripped it apart, the only thing left is the underframe and motor, the sides are brass etch as they were totally flat on that and the whole thing is narrower than other DMUs as it wouldn;t fit in a certain tunnel in hastings (hence the name).
@@leepolson401 thank you for updating much appreciated 👍
I'm guessing this was like the 1960s with all the retro trains
Magnificent selection, well filmed. What scale is snowy Moorsview?
Many thanks indeed! Really was a superb show. As for Moorsview, its N gauge
How does that bicycle work at 25.25 the wheels and the mans legs pedal, how is it done. It cant work like cars with magnets, can it? Its amazing, can some one explain?
I believe it's a system called magnorail. Basically a chain track that runs under the boards, with a magnet on the bike.
@@SDJR7F88 Im obliged : )
At 9:20 the 3rd tank car from the end of the train after the coach is missing a wheel.
I particularly enjoyed 'Queenies cottage' XXX
Glad you enjoyed it. Just got to love little micros like that. Giving me so many ideas...
Wow! The trains are awesome, but what took me by surprise was the trackless bicycle at 25:20 and 26:10 , no idea how they power the cyclist's legs!
The bike works on a magnetic road system. The cyclists legs are attached to a clear plastic wheel, which makes it look like they are peddling. The system is made by a company called magnorail
The majority of points in station areas are limited to 15mph. A typical standard length coach should take roughly 4 seconds to cover its own length at that speed, irrespective of scale. Props to those models who don't run at ridiculous speeds.
The crane at 33:15, does anyone know what kit that is?
Flap board at 1:40, magic.
Really does add to the feel of the scene the layout depicts.
I am of the 2 that own, operate and built Shelvington (I am the "paint" guy) so thanks very much
What are the multiple units in the Shelvington set? There's one at 1:02 and a different model at 1:22
Sadly I'm not up to scratch on my southern units, though I believe the four car unit to be a 4-COR.
I am of the 2 that own, operate and built Shelvington (I am the "paint" guy) 1:02 is indeed a 4 COR, a build by us, 1:22 is a Bachmann 2 EPB.
I saw you filming one of the layouts, think it was goathorn
Hi Paul! Most likely. Spent quite a while chat in that area :)
Lots of great footage and some stunning layouts but what is it with the DCC sound? I genuinely hate it as it doesn't really sound anything like the real thing and is more of a distraction for me. The speakers just make the sound rather "tinny". Each to their own of course
Farbine rd wow!
Glad you enjoyed it
wow..

The comments, below, are about the first segment(s) as there are muktiple layouts shown.

I am notably struck with the exceptional detail of track realism. Add in crazy cool landscape. Buildings and structures are very, very good. I ache to think, "could I do this?"
Back when, back when steam was king, back when wood was used to heat the water there was endless supply. Trains ran NEXT TO STREAMS where both water and trees were plentiful. Resupply needed? Head down to the river. Human labor was very necessary.
Am I to assume that the 'running' of operations is controlled by computers and software?
I am of the 2 that own, operate and built Shelvington (I am the "paint" guy), it is the is the 1st to feature in the vid so assume you are tlaking about us? Thanks very much for the comment. It is indeed computer controlled, while an operator can step in at any moment it is capable of being entirely automated through the software.
A reflection of the 1970's and 1980's BR era.
The BR era was better thsn the privatised rail system of today. Bring back British Rsil. Though don't bring back the mark 1 trains of that era obviously.
I bet there was some easy builds this year...no trains or staff to worry about due to strikes
🤣🤣🤣 Far from it! Though I think it might of courses trouble for people getting to the show
Getting sound but no picture
Odd, maybe refresh your browser
They must be all very very 'Chuff chuffed' Getting back together... Haha
Is Shelvington EM or P4?
P4, gauges/scale of all layouts are listed in the video description :)
9:20 milk tanker wheelie
Was hoping no one would spot that 😅
Some outstanding work on here - well done to the hard working dedicated modelers. There are a few points I'd like to make though . . . okay - where's the steam? I thought there was a way of making synthetic steam and smoke effect from the funnels?
Coaches without passengers and locomotives without crews do look odd.
This does not however, detract from an impressive array of dioramas in a well made film. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it. Really was a superb line-up. Steam and sound effects have been done extremely well on Bournemouth West, however I imagine it would a very expensive to install.
Beautiful layout 👍
It is stunning
