    Has been in the care of the North London Group for many years. We tested it recently, and virtually everything still works!

    Can tell it is not OO. P4 just so beautiful. So good escaping this insane world even for 5 minutes.

    Gorgeous layout, Bodman!! I’ve seen it a few times, and look forward to seeing it live instead of on You Tube!!

    Sir,
    A credit to you and your mates,
    Your time, patience and skills have kept alive this icon of model railways.
    Appreciate what you have done and hope younger members of your club come to the party and keep it running as it is in future years.
    Well done and THANK YOU.

    I’ve seen Bodman a couple of times at various local shows. I’m very much looking forward to seeing it again live.

    A truly outstanding model railway. I hope it is run and displayed for at least another 40 years.

    What an excellent layout. Such an inspiration to GWR modellers like myself.

    This is real modelling. No R-T-R, (presumably) no DCC, hand-built track using traditional methods, all structures scratch built. It’s refreshing to still see this in 2021.

    What a beautiful model and still going strong after 40 years. I've traveled on the preserved line many a time but regrettably not seen the layout.

    I don’t care what people think, vintage British model railways are the best…

    A marvellous evocation of a GWR railway terminus.

    Whats the purpose of the orange markers?

  • @stevewedd

    Delightful, but is it 'Bodman' or the better known 'Bodmin', like it says on Brians badge 0:24?

    Surely you mean BODMIN (General) railway station 🚂🚂??

    Nice to see trains moving at scale speeds instead of being jet propelled as so often.
    Funny to think every OO layout is actually narrow gauge.

    What are the red arrows on the roving stock ?

    • @beatsinabar
      @beatsinabar 3 роки тому

      I'm guessing they're something to do with sorting wagons when shunting - ie, operational, not true to protoype. Just guessing…

    • @highdownmartin
      @highdownmartin 3 роки тому

      I think it might be positioning stock for uncoupling , otherwise it’d be a single mark not two. Also they are all the same colour. I’m guessing Presumably we see a lot of the operators side, not the exhibition side

    Bodmin surely?

      Yes, it's Bodmin, I live down here and the track layout as seen from the road bridge has barely changed.

      not to be confused with Bodman-Ludwigshafen or with Badman 🦇
