Brombury Loco
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2022
- Brombury Loco is a 4mm scale model of a small engine shed in the Worcestershire market town of Brombury, terminus of the ex-Great Western Railway branchline which wends its way through Lowleigh from Kidderminster. The video depicts a typical day in the life of the shed on a Saturday in late September 1953.
Fabulous it couldn’t get any better a tiny pice of England built by a master and let’s not forget the lady talking to us all 👍
Thank you for your kind words Mr P. Best wishes, Peter
Fabulous film although driver and fireman sprint off to the nearest pub might be a more likely ending ! A wonderful escape from reality at least for a while.
Thanks for your encouraging comments Garry. Closing time for the early turn 3pm but whether the late turn lads would make it - closing time 10.30 in those days! All the best, Peter
A very special model, just perfectRob A
Thanks for your kind and encouraging comments Rob. Best wishes, Peter
I possibly couldn't have thought of a better way of spending 17 minutes of my time than watching this.
Stunning modelling, very well filmed and narated by yourself and Julia.
Just brilliant.
That's so kind and encouraging. I wasn't sure that enough actually happened to make the video interesting and lucky the coal delivery arrived the day we were shooting! Much of the inspiration was from 'Great Western Branch Line Termini' by Paul Karau. Best wishes, Peter
Simply the best in modelling and its simplicity..
Thank David - that's encouraging. Season's greetings, Peter
lovely glimpse into the past...very realistic and superb modelling.
Thanks for your kind and encouraging words Tony. Best wishes, Peter
Awesome build and running superb presentation.
Thanks for your kind comments. I hope you will enjoy the other videos on my channel. Best wishes, Peter
Beautiful! The modelling, the music and the commentary were all outstanding. An escape to a different place and time. Thank you.
Thank you so much Barry for your kind and encouraging words. The story began down the line at Lowleigh:

So few people. It’s beautiful 😢
Thank you
Happy Modelling and all the best for 2024
Beautiful to watch
Thank you so much. I hope you will enjoy the other 5 videos in the 'Lowleigh' series. Search 'A Day at Lowleigh Station' for the first one. Best wishes, Peter
What a simple, exquisite and excellent layout and video - great story/narration - an absolute joy to find & watch ( repeated viewings) - I'm completely spellbound - I wish I had an ounce of your modelling & creative skills
Thank you so much for your encouraging words. I hope you will enjoy the 6 previous 'Lowleigh' videos beginning with 'A Day at Lowleigh Station'. Best wishes, Peter
This transported me back to my 1953 spotting days......a wonderful way of looking back and so realistic
Thanks Mike
Hi, great video, sounds and commentary. The layout looks wonderful, many thanks, David from New Zealand.
Thanks for your kind words David. You might enjoy the 5 'Lowleigh' videos, the first is 'A Day at Lowleigh Station'. All the best to you in NZ, Peter
Awesome !!!!!!
Thank you. You might like our 5 earlier videos beginning with 'A Day at Lowleigh Station'. Best wishes, Peter
As always Peter, just beautiful work here and once again thanks to your good lady narrator for her contribution.
Can we expect to look forward to a new video soon? Thank you!☺️
Thanks again for your encouraging comments. The next Lowleigh video should be done by Christmas! All the best, Peter
@@peterharrison6230 look forward to it!❤️
I’d love to visit one day ❤
Thank you
Soooo relaxing, thank you 👍👍👍
Thank you Kenneth, pleased you enjoyed the video. The story started a while ago down the line at Lowleigh Station (not much happens there either!). Best wishes, Peter

Happy Modelling and best wishes to all for 2024
I had more enjoyment watching three(?) feet and one point for seventeen minutes than one could imagine; thanks again for a peek at your skills!
Thank you, that's so encouraging. I did worry that there was an element of 'watching paint dry' in this video and it wasn't until I did some research on similar rural sheds that I realised that very little happened on an average day. Luckily a supply of coal arrived or there'd have been even less to report! Best wishes, Peter
@@peterharrison6230 - I’m a sucker for ‘cameo’ layouts after having exhibited close to Iain Rice with his little East Anglian creation (about twenty years ago).
Beautifully told a pleasure to watch.
Thanks Rob. Best wishes, Peter
Keep up the great work Peter.
Thanks Jim
What a splendid video. Thank you for the construction shots at the end.
Thanks for your kind words and useful to hear you found the construction shots interesting. The Lowleigh story started at:

Absolutely gorgeous. Chapeau.
Thank you so much Henry. All the best, Peter
Fantastic modelling, excellent and beautifully presented, well done
Thank you Gerald - that's so encouraging. Best wishes, Peter
Nice upload you put together. Lots of detail.
Thanks for your kind words. Best wishes, Peter
@@peterharrison6230 Peter thanks very much for replying to my comment. It's nice to see other people's work to get idea to improve my Channel. Take Care & Stay Safe.
Charming........
Thank you Robin.Best wishes, Peter
That was delightful, thank you.
Thank you Andrew for your kind words. With best wishes, Peter
I really enjoyed these videos - operations in a peaceful country setting and beautiful complimentary music. Can we have more please?
Thanks for your kind words Ernie - happy days! We've got one more in the pipeline. Best wishes, Peter
An inspirational video. It just goes to show that you don't need to have a vast area to build a layout in, simplicity and dedication to detail is the key. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for showing this.
Thank you for your encouraging words Michael. The story started with 'ADay at Lowleigh Station'

Hi Peter. Great to see you back! Wonderful!
Thanks again Phil. One more 'Lowleigh' video to come then a long gap while I get to grips with EM! Best wishes, Peter
Hi Peter. Absolutely superb piece of modelling. I like the excellent quality of the filming, which allows the superb amount of fine detail to be seen easily. This in turn adds to the realistic atmosphere of the real thing. Again thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Cheers Chris.
Thank you Chris for your kind and encouraging words. We've one more 'Lowleigh' video planned then a long silence while I grapple with EM gauge. Best wishes, Peter
Fabulous modelling Peter .. and hats off to Julia .. I can't thank you both enough for sharing your efforts :) :)
Thanks Phil. There's one more Lowleigh video to come then it's upwards and onwards with a new project! All the best, Peter
Hello again Peter and Julia , another excellent video and narration of your very realistic model railway 🚂 I particularly enjoyed the section at the end of the video showing how you constructed it , very enjoyable 👍
Thanks again Philip. It's useful to know the stills were interesting. I wasn't sure if it would spoil the atmosphere of the video. There's one more 'Lowleigh' video to come then it's onwards and upwards with an EM project. Best wishes, Peter
@@peterharrison6230 Good day to you Peter, perhaps you dont realise just how nostalgic and atmospheric your modelling and filming is. There are thousands of tail chasers out there, but few that show the portrayal of the past with the panache you do. They say size doesnt matter, maybe so, but quality sure does. I am sure many of us will miss your little station as you get involved in a new project. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing something very special. 👍👍👍❤️🇬🇧👏👏👏👏
Well the wait has been well worth it .Clear narration from Juliet superb running & excellent atmosphere especially the night scene with yard lights .Really look forward to future running & projects ,that beautiful music makes a real delight . Big thank you
Thank you Steven for your kind and encouraging words. I am pleased with the lighting effects and have enjoyed getting to grips with LEDs and resistors etc to hopefully achieve the right level of illumination. Brombury L was a bit of an experiment in preparation for my next project which I've made a start on but there's one more chapter in the 'Lowleigh' story to share then, a long silence as its 'back to the drawing board'. All the best, Peter
Lovely little layout! So realistic.
Thanks for your kind words David. Best wishes, Peter
Wonderfully atmospheric, aided by the great commentary. Construction stills were very interesting and helpful. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Thank you for your kind and encouraging response Michael. It's useful to know the stills were interesting. I wasn't sure if it would spoil the atmosphere of the video. There's one more 'Lowleigh' video to come then it's onwards and upwards with an EM project. Best wishes, Peter
Superb beautifully detailed layout. The operations are inspiring and very well executed by these smooth running engines. DCC - NCE Power Cab ? Wonderful night scenes delicately filmed, pleasantly narrated and edited. Outstanding - proving a layout doesn't need to be big to enjoy 'model railroading'. Thanks for sharing a bright spark of amusement in a darkening world. Very well done Julia & Peter ! Cheers from France, Filip
Good to hear from you Filip and thank you so much again for your encouraging comments. We're finding it difficult to enjoy anything in the current situation. Maybe M. Macron can find some way out of the crisis. With very best wishes, Peter
Exquisitely modelled and movements made at scale speeds. Just lovely.
Thank you so much. We try to get the speeds right and also give time for the fireman to get down and couple/uncouple etc. With best wishes, Peter
As the singer Mary Hopkins used to say 🎼 Those were the days my friend 🎼 😢
Just give me a time machine and my old spotters book and I’d be on that bridge in a flash in the full knowledge that I’m not going to be mugged, stabbed or accosted 🤔
A beautifully put together little video guys 👍
Thanks Etonie. Ironically I was mugged age 11 in 1957 while spotting at the lineside- never did get that watch back! Peter
Another amazing production 👏
Thank you
Another gem, Peter and Julia. Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed it.
Thank you again Michael, very pleased you enjoyed Brombury Loco. Best wishes, Peter
Another brilliant piece of modelling and filming the small amounts of detailing are an inspiration for myself. The narration and soundtrack only enhance this video.
Thank you for your kind words. Very pleased you enjoyed the video - I was a bit worried that not enough happened to make it interesting! Best wishes, Peter
So nice, Peter. Showing again you do not need a large layout to tell an interesting story. Love the narration and the music!
Thank you Thomas for your kind and encouraging words. We are busy now with the next (and final!) 'Lowleigh' video. With best wishes, Peter
Thanks for another great video Peter. You continue to inspire. I was hoping for a video such as this loco depot. Now I can't wait for one on Brombury goods yard :-)
KInd and encouraging words thank you. Sorry can't promise the goods yard or the station at Brombury! We have one more Lowleigh video to edit then it's upwards and onwards with a new project. Best wishes, Peter
Great video and modelling Peter!
Glad to see you back with another video.
Always an inspiration.
Cheers from Canada
Bob
Thanks Bob - good to hear from you. All quiet in Ottawa now I hope! Best wishes, Peter
Gosh. I can actually get lost for a moment in the worlds you have created with your videos. Such a lovely way to unwind from a stressful work day. Thank you.
I also enjoyed seeing the building montage at the end. 😃
Thank you so much Vernon. After a morning spent soldering 'upside down' on my latest model 'Ashcombe' it's nice to have such positive encouragement. Don't believe 'em when they tell you DCC only needs 2 wires! All the best, Peter
After reading your article in RM I was curious to see this tiny piece of England and it's been a pleasure watching your locos slowly moving past. Refreshing! 😊
Erik Jan
Thank you for your kind words Erik. I hope you will enjoy the previous 'Lowleigh' videos beginning with 'A Day at Lowleigh Station'. Best wishes, Peter
Superbly observed model and great video and voice over👍😊
Thank you for your kind and encouraging words; so pleased you enjoyed Brombury Loco. All the best, Peter
SUPERB
Another gem, Peter and Julia. Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks again Laurence. All the best, Peter
Supervisor 👍 🤝
Thank you
Hi Peter,superb,I have watched your video 4 times. I hope you don’t mind .i have a spare baseboard 4’x15 “ & I’m going to copy your model. Thanks for the inspiration.regards Alan.
Thank you Alan. Happy modelling! Peter
Peter, excellent work as we have come to expect. Question - what is the footprint?
Thanks John. Brombury Loco is 4 feet long and 13 inches wide at the widest point + a simple 12" traverser 'off-stage'
Hi Peter. Will this form part of a bigger picture? I remember you saying you were working on Lowleighs replacement!
Hi Phil. No it's a stadalone partly to experiment with illumination and also somewhere to park my locos. 'Lowleigh's replacement is underway and I'm getting to grips with a Megapoints processor and relays to work turnouts, signals and level crossing gates. Also squeezing LEDs into Ratio signals - needs a steady hand and patience! Haven't been to an exhibition for ages so am looking forward to Donny this weekend. Cheers, Peter
What a lovely little town. Is this on wales 🏴 Uk ?
see previous replies
lovely! are the engines rtr straight out of the box?
Thanks Tom. 'Brombury Loco' is EM gauge so replacement wheels and axles (Gibson or Ultrascale when I can afford it!). Screw couplings, Modelu crew, on both locos and lamp irons etc on the 57XX. Best wishes, Peter
Is this 00 guage or 0
Thanks for your interest. Gauge: EM.
1:46 what’s a mess hut?? What’s a privy??
In the mess hut enginemen and shedmen can sign on, relax, eat meals etc and then visit the primitive toilet known as a privy! Peter
