Dear Caroline and Graham. I have only just come across this video of your delightful layout. You have captured the flavour of a small working Yorkshire coastal town abolutely beatifully. I am envious, in an appreciative way, that you have achieved this better than I have with "Ghylldale". I can just see the little trains threading their way through the winding valleys which open out onto the North Sea coast, providing a life-line to the isolated farms and hamlets which are almost inaccessible by road. Lomg may ot run!
Hello John, I posted this video a long while ago so I have not kept-up with comments recently, I do apologise. Thank you for your lovely comments. All the inspiration for "The Whitsend Tramway" came from visiting the area and seeing "Heartbeat" on TV each week. I would have liked to capture the effect of the tall cliffs on the Yorkshire coast, but with an exhibition layout, that is not possible. I have seen "Ghylldale" many times and I can see the similarity between the layouts. You too have captured the Yorkshire atmosphere. "Whitsend" has now been sold to build new projects (we are not sure if that was a good idea or not, but needed the space!). I hope to post a video of our smaller layout soon. Best wishes, Graham & Caroline
Beautiful layout. I model in 009 too and it has just the atmosphere that I'm trying to catch. Not a real place, just somewhere that feels like it could be.
A fantastic layout, this is what I aspire to and am just in the planning stages for mine ! what make of buildings have you used ?, they look great. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Stephen, The rails were painted with a thin wash of Humbrol brown colour enamel (110 I think) just to take the shine off them, then wiped along top edges of rails. Couplings used were original Egger-Bahn type on the bogie coaches, and Bemo on the other stock. This layout was sold 9 years ago.

Thank you,
Hi. Supervisor 👍
...the details alone...

Great 009 layout. I see you’ve left the rails unpainted, does it improve running and minimise track cleaning? Also what couplings are you using?
Thank you Stephen, The rails were painted with a thin wash of Humbrol brown colour enamel (110 I think) just to take the shine off them, then wiped along top edges of rails. Couplings used were original Egger-Bahn type on the bogie coaches, and Bemo on the other stock. This layout was sold 9 years ago.
Hpw did you get that tram?
The locomotives were built by Paul Windle of Hull (now retired). Coaches are old Egger Bahn OEG coaches made to look more British.
