    Nice exhibition overview video. Good lot of layouts there to see. I especially liked the micro 00-9/N scale layouts shown at 4:50 in the video. Also congrats on having your layout at the expo. - Nicholas.

      Its a great layout definitely! I'd seen it before at a couple of other shows but always in the BR era so it was nice to see the Southern locos/rolling stock in use this time. Thanks for watching 😃

    Great video of the layouts thanks - something there for everyone. I was hoping to attend but was unfortunately unwell but your video very much makes up for that. Great seeing Pitley up and running, it truly looks amazing and has really come together so well. Very well done indeed.

      Sorry to hear you were unwell Nigel, it would have been great to meet you. It was definitely a fantastic show... I may be biased but I think it was the best one yet at Spa Valley and it was wonderful to have so many people recognise Pitley. Thanks for watching 🤩

    Thanks for the excellently produced video, a great overview of the exhibition and really good to meet you and see the modular layout in action. Although I've lived in Tunbridge Wells for many many years this is the first time I've visited the Spa Valley. The last occasion I took a train from Tunbridge Wells West was in 1972 when I was commuting to and from East Croydon every day. My party piece is to recite all the stations from East Croydon to Brighton via Eridge how sad is that? In those days there was also a direct connection from Tunbridge Wells to Brighton via Eridge, Uckfield and Lewes. Ah.....happy days😊

      Awesome, hope you had a good time Ben! I didn't get to see much of the exhibition myself either, just the ones at Tunbridge Wells West and even then I only was able to have a quick whizz round on the Sunday afternoon as it was so busy the rest of the time! Thanks for watching 😃

    Whilst (alas) I dont have sufficient space or time at the moment to build a large layout of my own, I can build small dioramas that at a future date could become part of something much bigger.

    • @ThatModelRailwayGuy
      @ThatModelRailwayGuy  Рік тому

      Thanks, really glad you enjoyed the video! Perhaps you might want to take a look at my modular model railway series which is pretty much what you describe. My individual modules are fairly large (120cm x 50cm at their biggest) but the same concept would scale down quite easily. Thanks for watching 😃

    Binge watched the whole Modular Layout series over the last few nights, so seeing the new parts here is brilliant like the bridge with the former double track over it which makes sense for the double track tunnel and bridge you have on it. Looked a nice Expo. Thanks for showing us.

    • @ThatModelRailwayGuy

    Really good video, a great variety of layouts. I thoroughly enjoy the content on your channel, in particular your 00-9 videos. As a result of watching them I have built a small 00-9 layout. If it wasn't for your videos, I don't know if I would have gotten into 00-9 scale so many thanks.

    • @ThatModelRailwayGuy
      @ThatModelRailwayGuy  Рік тому

      Amazing, that's great to hear you've gotten into 009 because of my videos! It really is a versatile scale and has never been better for modellers with all the RTR releases - especially for those of us with limited space too! I hope you enjoy your new layout and thanks for watching 😃

    • @ThatModelRailwayGuy
      @ThatModelRailwayGuy  Рік тому

      The first two years the show was very diesel/electric centric in my opinion with only a few steam layouts. This year was definitely more heavy on the steam layouts but there are a few diesels in the video.
      Also bear in mind this is just a small selection of the layouts on display as most of the time I was busy operating my own layout. When I did have a spare moment to whizz round and film a few bits I'll admit I was drawn mostly to the layouts that interested me which generally tends to be steam era stuff. Thanks for watching 😃

    • @ThatModelRailwayGuy
      @ThatModelRailwayGuy  Рік тому +1

      Glad you enjoyed it! The simple answer is as soon as I've finished editing the videos. As I'm sure you can imagine, the actual modelling/filming takes quite a while and the editing takes even longer. I have on average around 4-5 hours of footage for each episode that has to be cut down to a reasonable length. This is still just a part time thing for me too. Hope that helps and thanks for watching 😃
