The blending of the scenery with the painted background is most superb... I often stopped the vid to figure out where the two meet & blend...the commentary is well narrated too.... the whole has a nostalgic / sombre undertone adding to the realism...
This is a true work of art...
Thanks everyone for the very kind comments! It is very encouraging and rewarding when people appreciate your efforts :)
I'm not a railway modeller but this was very impressive, a beautiful diorama
A huge part of the realism in this layout is the quality of the misty subdued palette of colours chosen for the buildings and landscape - not forgetting this amazing sky👍🤗❤️
I’m not a fan of GW branch lines or narrow gauge, but this model and all its architectural research, details and finesse is quite simply a masterpiece. Congratulations.
can only second that.... it is already outstanding & is not even finished.... wow... what a work...
British fanaticism and brilliance rolled together to make a beautiful video. Thank you.
"British fanaticism" 🙄🤡
Thank you very much! I shall spend the day muttering "I am a fanatic". 🙂
Fantastic scene. I like the way the town curves into the backdrop but not before giving us a view up the road past the houses. This is an excellent example of diminishing scenery.
I love the use of bas relief, forced perspective and flattened buildings to make more fit into the shallow space. I do think this is very effective on this layout and I have not seen it done so well by other modelers. Very nice.
A great work of art, and truly Welsh
Beautiful rock and stone buildings and scenery
Cheers from across the Pond in mid-America!
I enjoyed the story telling of the railway and I was expecting to see a little boy pushing his bicycle up the hill with a loaf of bread in the basket, Hovis of course, LOL. Great little O Gauge layout with all the scenes of the village and surrounding hills etc. Thank you for showing it off in this wonderfully made time capsule film.
What a beautifully atmospheric layout.
Perfectly charming, and beautifully constructed.
Quite so, Tony.
Nice memories of Wales. Great storytelling, modelling and film making. Cheers from Tasmania.
Oh my gosh 😮 absolutely stunning. Lovely narration and filming
Glad you enjoyed it!
This has got to be one of the best films I've ever seen on tube of a superb model many thanks
An atmospheric masterpiece, absolutely superb.
This is a work of art... beautifully done!
Really love this layout with the fantastic buildings and landscape. It is a fine piece of art work !
What a beautiful layout. I don't know how accurate it is to old Wales but it makes me want to visit there. Good job and thanks.
When I saw the shot of the bridge from the road, looking up the hill, I just said "wow!" You have captured North Wales in that one scene.
The landscape, the colors, the weather (!): Absolutely fantastic 👍
Particularly enjoyed the newsreel, special effects and narration. You captured the character and fondness for the places with the attention to detail of a charming, more leisurely time. Your roster of equipment photographs well. The allure of model railroading is the satisfaction of constructing a world more perfect than our real one.
Love your narration and the angles into the streets, which shows an excellent way of enhancing depth of field, really adds to the illusion of the model becoming a representative of, in this case, a bygone Welsh world.
It's a beautiful layout and a lovely fantasy story. I was able to indulge my imagination and was taken on a journey. 😊
This is brilliant. Your keen eye for observing the architecture and scenery of Wales pays off as I, who have spent a lot of time in Wales, immediately recognised where it was set. This would of course be much more enjoyable to see 'in the flesh'.
Magnificent attention to detail; expertly modelled. Thank you.
absolutely gorgeous and an immense amount of loving work. Thanks for sharing it with us
I love the palette you have chosen, it's very evocative and adds to the scene you are trying to create. Masterful.
Can never get enough of modified Sprat & Winkle couplings, personally.
JK - lovely model.
I really enjoyed this and the commentary was great. Beautiful detail. Thank you for taking us on this adventure back on time.
Love this, it’s scenery with a railway running through it as in real life excellent job 👍
Beautiful layout and the sound of rain early on really helped create the atmosphere.
Exquisite modelling, and extraordinary back-scene! Beautiful!
Thank you.
Incredible detail and amazing work :)
Awesome! Greetings from Italy
I lived in Corris Uchaf for a few years as a teenager. This takes me back.
Incredible detail. Really good to watch this. Diolch yn fawr!
Congratulations! That's very convincing and a fine model railway.
Absolutely superb!
I love it. One thing that I consider it constitute the "british touch of modelling," is the art of doing magnificent and splendid layouts based on a simple and extremely clever trackplan. This layout is a splendid example of this way of modelling, in my opinion. Great from everyside too !
Thats one hell of a layout, I couldnt keep from thinking of Ivor? The engine in a nice way thank you.
Glad you like it!
An absolutely superb model with lots of ingerest and the back scenes are stunning. Well videoed and narrated, I particularly like the prototype references .
I look forward to seeing the completed narrow gauge shed
Amazing detail of the buildings . Good history lesson too .
Very good video. Lots going on .Thanks for sharing.
...this is such a beautiful layout, compact yet so authentic especially the scenery, buildings and the overall 3D effect top work! 👌
Personally, I consider you've made this an accomplished job; clearly, many hours have lovingly gone into this reconstruction. I was but four years old when I rode on one of the last steam trains ever run - prior to the Diesel/electric era, but similarly, I remember that experience well - etched as it is into my memory. In my mind, nothing beats steam. Very well done !! 🙂
Beautiful and very relaxing!
Fantastic model and the backscene is wonderful. Didn’t know they had satellite tv in 1946!
A excellent and well put together video, what an amazing layout that is really looks great 😊
This is a true work of art, together with Central Los Andes. Completely different eras and dimensions, same artistic skills and attention to detail. Congratulations.
Excellent video and an amazing layout very emotive top marks
What a great and detailed model railway 👍
Fantastic I thought I.saw the mist moving !
I loved watching this. Beautifully presented, very atmospheric. I am way sort of your skills but inspired to improve.
Beautiful !!
Stunning!
Very clever use of aerial perspective, with the misty views of the hillside behind the village... I was intrigued to know how that was created. It looked like diffusion material ? Excellent layout !!
I think he used a boiling kettle 🤔
Beautiful
Pure MAGIC !
A lovely commentary!
Great Story to match a GREAT MODEL RAILWAY --- OMG AND ITS O Gauge
very very good, says enthusiast Master 3>4 yr old...the buildings and streetscape seem so realistic...if gloomy.
LeviNZ in NZ gives it a gold star.
What a nicely produced portrait of an exquisite piece of modelling. Are you planning to exhibit it in due course? Please update when you have completed the elements you will be doing next...You've unwittingly put yourself under some pressure!😉
Very nicely done on the atmospheric look, first class buildings and perspective . Felt odd not having any figures about particularly no engine diver?
Lovely! :)
Love this
Lovely🚂⭐👍
Best lay out I ever saw, please put some Modulu people and animals in it
Very Nice. Martin. (Thailand)
❤
So good, I thought you edited in some actual clips of the real railway at the start, brilliant model
Yes - me too!
I must say the rain outside gives a certain authenticity to the gloomy layout ;-)
I'm too young to remember steam. My memories of the branch lines in North Wales are of old DMUs in BR blue, weathered by the grime and rain.
Nice layout. Your buildings and backdrop are excellent and capture the character of a landscape I know quite well. Will you be adding figures to add life and narrative to the model?
Thank you - yes there will be a few figures eventually
What are your rock buildings made from. This whole thing is amazing!
The walls are mostly done with DAS clay and painted with a mixture of watercolour and artists oil paints. The stone blocks are scribed into the clay while it is still a bit damp. When the clay is completely dry I use abrasive paper to finish the shapingshaping basic shells puff the buildings are from card/ balsa. I usually treat three card with knotting to protect it from the oil paints and also to stiffen it a bit.
"Time passes. Listen... Time passes..."
Looks amazing but I can’t believe that the sky dish was to difficult to make and put up 😂, seriously though a beautiful piece of modelling. Cheers Glyn.
Very nice.
Which editing software did you use to get that cine film effect?
Thanks Chris. I put the video together using the paid version of VSDC. I downloaded and imported some "old film flicker" which I found on UA-cam, and set it to "lighten" mode to allow it to blend with the footage on the layer beneath.
shed unfinished? Or run down and roofless in the Narrow gauge lines final days? Nice layout
What buildings are those, self build ?
Very nice layout, well detailed but shame theres no loco crews on any of the foot plates, kind of lets it all down a bit
Thanks - the crew's are on the way, but it's going to be a while yet before they arrive :)
Only fault is that the commentator pronounces "Aberdyfi" with an "F" whereas in Welsh a single "F" is pronounced as a "V"
Don't be so petty!!!
@@tonytowers5889 He's not. Narrator put a lot of effort into getting the pronunciation right, bless him. Percy acknowledged that and gave a small pointer to help him further.
A lovely model but I really think that the loco needs a crew.
Can you spell “mukenthkleth” please.
@psycholegal cheers :)
