A gem of a film. This railway was a big source of inspiration back in the day when I did the same scale due to his book "Little trains of thought". Its an icon of New Zealand model railway building that stands the test of time.
I just found my copy of this on VHS this morning . Bought it in 2005 at the warehouse. NZ Model Railway Tours . Goes for 60 mins , has a lot of great stuff on it.
For a older person, you have done great layouts and modelling Mr Smith. At least you didn't have someone from upstairs ringing to correct you over the script for this. I enjoyed visiting your studio and ZB and delivering those ever important "messages from the fuzz" back in the 60's. Blue.
Any chance of putting a full copy of this up given the news of Merv's passing? I used to obsessively watch this as a child and have lost my copy to time...

That looks like exhibition class to me. Great layout and I agree with your point about developing your own style and and standard gives homogeneity.
Have you got the complete vhs/ DVD of nz model railway tours?? I used to have a copy but cannot find one anywhere...

I had never seen this video, i agree, would be cool if we could see the full version, lot of rollingstock and engines never seen in his book.
Is this layout completely
