Such a wonderful museum.I really did not believe all the fuss about Pendon till I visited. You have to go a few times to properly appreciate the quality.
We totally agree @kimmarsh5387. There are so many aspects of Pendon to see and enjoy and we are always pleased to hear that returning visits are such a good experience as well.
That's what we like to hear @pemboart, we are very pleased you enjoyed this production. More to come, please do subscribe to our Channel to be kept up to date.
Thank you @michaelmiller641. We are really pleased you enjoyed this episode, do please subscribe to our Channel and we hope to release another 'Pendon Gem' very soon.
Thanks for this new video. Great to see a feature on the yard. It is so prominent yet gets no attention. Perhaps a video of the local pick up could be arranged. Main line are always good, but give a different perspective too. 👍👍👍
Many thanks for your comments @robertbates5790 and suggestion for a future episode. We will see what we can do. Please keep watching and do please subscribe to our Channel.
Beautiful layout. Love the attention to detail. Thanks for sharing. I love the open space. A lot of layouts (mine included!) are limited by space and cram too much into a space that is too small. Liked and Subbed! Cheers, Andy
Many thanks Andy. We are fortunate that the Vale Scene Diorama at Pendon is the size of a tennis court! Lots of room for everything and always scope to add to the scene to keep the museum interesting for even the most frequent visitor.
Many thanks for your kind comments @peternorris6438, we are pleased you enjoyed this video, it certainly gives you a close up of the Station Yard and it's workings.
Absolutely love the look of the new yard(s)! I remember hearing in the 1971 interview with Roye England, he mentioned the walls and brickwork of the buildings were constructed out of card, is that still the case for all the structures?
Thank you @jacobarisz9272, we are pleased you like the tour of the Station yards. And yes, all buildings are still made from card as evolved by our Founder Roye England. Brick or stone courses are scored on and then painted with watercolours.
I was looking to see whether any baulk road (but standard gauge) remained in the sidings. Sometimes there was always a cheerful mixture, often at crossings (points).
Hi Tim, Superb insights as always and Pendon finally features, as promised some time ago, at 11 mins 05 on my latest video that I released yesterday. Must get down soon for a visit! Regards, Andy 👍
I first went along to Pendon about 20 years ago when I was living in Oxford. Completely blew me away to what can be an achieved in modelling and how to think about a model railway. I know I can never match the skills these modellers over the decades have shown, or their patience but I have been inspired for life!
Thank you @HighFell for your glowing review. It's really good to hear that our modelling team are providing such inspiration. Enjoy your modelling and we hope to see you again in the museum one day.
I'd be happy to get my scenery at least 20% as good as this. look forward to visiting one day soon to see it up close 🎉
Many thanks @_RandomPea, we look forward to seeing you, do leave yourself plenty of time for your visit....

I thoroughly enjoyed that. Thank you

Thanks for this excellent video, highlighting all of the subtle nuances that I missed on my last visit, a couple of months ago.
Thank you @brakecompo2005, we are pleased that this video added to the enjoyment of your last visit. Hopefully we will see you again.
Love the attention to detail and the stories backing this up. Thanks and one day I'll get to Pendon. Blessings.
Many thanks @davidhinks8384, we look forward to welcoming you.
Lovely video. Thankyou!

What a lovely place! And the narration was very informative!
Thank you @Sonya_Makepeace. We are very pleased you enjoyed this video. As you say, it is a lovely place with so much to see.

Great video! Fantastic realism - and "Charlie" earning his corn (hay probably!) hard at work!
Thank you for that kind endorsement @geoffreypeart-b1z, Charlie certainly deserves his feed when you think what he has to do during the working day.
Very informative video. And great modeling

@ Gotta go soon

Charlie looks quite small for a Shire but otherwise beautifully observed and modelled.
Very pleased you enjoyed the video @garrymartin6474. We will make sure Charlie has bigger portions in future :).
What do you mean by 'road motor'?
Thank you for viewing and for your question. The road motor (as it was known) is the delivery lorry. We hope you enjoyed the video.
Where's the bus driver?
In the station having a leak!
Or maybe a well earned cuppa....
He's around somewhere, that's for sure....
