Thanks Bob glad you enjoyed enough to stay to the end! Yes reminiscent of Bude and Biggin Hill I thought, although they probably didn’t get up that sort of speed?!
I’m blown away by the level of detail here, especially with the synchronisation which seems to be accurate even down to the level of the train and it’s composition of bogies behind the loco. Outstanding!
Many thanks for watching Gerard, that’s very astute of you to notice and much appreciated for you to say so. I do go to a lot, (probably too much 😂) effort to try and get those sorts of details right.
Well that’s easy, you listen to the sound track count the click Any clacks = No. of bogies, so put them on your train but getting the speed right must be a nightmare.
Absolutely breath-taking! I had to remind myself more than once that this is a model railway. The level of detail is fantastic. And I love the shot of two trains at 9:56.
Incredible video for #spamfest, the weathering in particular is exceptional. This weekend was just brilliant with the community on here and Instagram showing their support for Bulleid’s magnificent machines. Keep up the fantastic work!
Beyond the top notch worth of Neville Grove in its whole, the movie is beautiful! So illusive of reality that it took me eight minutes to figure out there wasn't smoke.
I'm stunned by the utter brilliance of this spectacular video as it's of the finest model railway videos I've ever seen, and I instantly subscribed. Extraordinary is an understatement... The lighting is as spot-on as lighting gets as it initially had me do a double take and watch more closely as I thought that it was footage of an actual prototype on a sunny day. Supreme weathering indeed. The layout is GORGEOUS and those buildings, how I also love British architecture. Last but certainly not least, the magnificent camera work, angles, closeups, camera chasing the trains and the SOUNDTRACK, this really was a Hollywood production from start to finish. Who was the director Abrams, Cameron, Nolan or Spielberg??? Utterly SUPERB!!!!
A lovely run of the various liveries on these locos. I'm equally impressed with your layout, too, as it looks marvellous as I watch the scenics pass by on the video.
It's amazing seeing all the Bulleid pacifics for #Spamfest I'm not confident in my skills to weather anything myself yet but your fleet looks incredible
Thanks very much! This fleet was only together temporarily as most were being weathered for customers and they are back home now. Nice to have them all here at once though! Good luck 🤞
Unthinkable that people once upon a time thought the Spamcans were "ugly". Excellent footage of models with prototypical rakes, expecially loved the parcel train. #Spamfest!
A great combo yeah and the blue really suits the original Bulleids I reckon. If it was staying longer I would have filmed it on the pullmans too with Devon Belle headboard and observation car.
#SpamFest I have complied with the comp rules so hope it's enough to be in with a shout. Love what you manage to pull off here outstanding chum . Like you and many other, I just love Spamcans and have a few, cheers Paul at Sandling Junction.
@@NEVILLEGROVE I Hope I did the entry all correctly Steve, I was sad that I never realized until the last minute what Spamfest was all about. If you do another something like this I'd love to get involved, cheers Paul.
Fantastic video, some great detailing but the water in the canal is the same level before the lock, in the lock and after the lock! Thank you for your time in making, editing and sharing👍
Thanks for watching, not sure what you mean about the lock, 🤔 but I don’t think both levels were shown here, it drops by about an inch and a half to go under the steel girder railway bridge. The lock gate is open at the top, so the level in the lock is the same as in the top pound (both a lot higher than the lower pound).
@@NEVILLEGROVE Watching a second time, (which was just as pleasant as the first time) I can see you are quite correct. As mother used to say "look before you leap" I apologise, please put it down to the wrong angle, a small screen and old age.👍
I love the history behind the Spamcans. They started out as a sneaky way for Bullied to get around war restrictions and became some of the finest Express locomotives on the entire British network. And while they looked beautiful both in and out of their air-smoothed casing, I do prefer the air-smoothed look. It's great to see them getting their own special weekend. Happy #spamfest
@@NEVILLEGROVE Thank you for wishing me luck, it was really fun to spend the weekend forgetting about exams and just watching these magnificent machine thunder by. Happy #spamfest to you and to everyone who took part.
Happy #spamfest 😍 another EPIC video Steve! All the liveries with all the different coaches… it’s just so good 😭 consider my hat in the ring for the competition!! 🙏🏼
Absolutely stunning locomotives builled majestic merchant navy #spamfest. Would love to win it for my father who loved the southern region in 50s and 60s living around Bristol and Devon area.
#spamfest oh man I would love to have one of these , everything about this design and the aesthetics that go along with it This machine is a BEAST , So cool
Hi David, yeah it was a very short lived colour scheme as it didn’t weather very well. I think all the Blue SpamCans had gone by the early 1950’s and all of the Merchant Navy’s had been rebuilt by 1959 (the “Light Pacifics” never wore the blue). You would have seen some great stuff though!
Ah just another one. In Woking the Odeon cinema was very close to the station & when I was courting my future wife we were sometimes in there when one of these passed through & I tell you that cinema literally shook as it streaked towards Waterloo or the west country. My god what days they were.
Thanks John, sorry for late reply. There are trackplans and further info about the layout on my website. There is a link to it on my UA-cam home page, thanks for the interest.
The trains are awesome, but the way you captured them made me write this. The sound, the framing, the cuts, the way you follow gives them such mass and presence. I don't even like running trains videos with the exception of Oscar Paisley who raises "Toy" trains to a new level.
Very nice, if you wanted to model Spams on the Exeter line bound for Ilfracombe and Wadebridge or Padstow then you need disks on the centre buffer beam and centre over the smokebox number to show them, then you can have the Devon Belle with the observation car on the rear. Exeter Central was the limit for Merchant Navy's but they worked Waterloo to Exeter Central.
Thank you yes that is the plan for a future video, I have the headboards and the observation car for the Devon Belle + some stock for the Night Ferry and a headboard for that too 👌
Would have loved to have had Bude for the last shit of the double headers - reminiscent of the last Special over the S&D with 34006. The owner of many of the Bulleids in this video has just purchased Bude because of its long deflectors, you never know he might send that for weathering one day too…
Excellent video as always. What a collection of Merchant Navy locos you have! Been eying up the Hornby Aberdeen Commonwealth for a while, your video might've just cost me a few pounds. 😂😂😂 Cheers, John.
Thank you very much! But alas, only 3 of these are mine - although I am lucky to have them! All of the others were being weathered for customers & Hornby. Aberdeen Commonwealth (renumbered here to Union Castle has gone back) but a beautiful model. Highly recommended - you won’t regret it!
#spamfest #spam #spam #spam #spam #spamityspamwonderfulspam Even though I’d class myself as a Midland man, these don’t ‘alf look absolutely belting!! Awesome film as always. Imagine what you can do with 6 37’s!! 😉
Love it , how can anyone think a spam can was ugly. I noticed with the merchant navy class has three types of body 1 the original with no smoke deflectors and widows peak front. 2 the original update with smoke deflectors, redesigned cab and more traditional spamcan look. Then the rebuild. When I look at these locomotives and if you didn't know you, you would have thought that they had been built in reverse.
There are also many detail differences too, even in the spamcans with deflectors too. For example the front valance is sometimes cut away on later versions, the safety valve arrangement and tender types. Hornby have done a great job in replicating these details 👏
Yes your so right I noticed the smoke deflectors on Blackmore Vale, Exeter and Bude are like small, medium and large. Lovely fleet of spam cans you have
I have one bullied pacific and it’s an old one a limited edition one from 1995 although it doesn’t run the best anymore it’s certainly one of my favourites! #spamfest
#Spamfest these look fantastic! Brilliant work! I’m making a Cornish layout so it would look perfect pulling an an Atlantic Coast Express over the bridge, got a newborn son just arrived so might take a while to get round to finishing it haha! He can’t eat any Spam for a while either!

What a stunning layout and stunning locomotives what about running a golden arrow service a devon belle and a bournemouth belle these locos were famous for pulling these iconic services but just a superb video never seen such a great layout as that best regards
There are plans a foot for a video on such trains, I have the observation car and Devon Belle headboards at the ready. Even more excitingly for me as it was a local service to here, I have some French “Wagon Lit” coaches and have The Night Ferry headboard on order. Watch this space!
Another awesome video, especially liked "Clan Line" in it`s original guise as where I live it regularly passes hauling the Belmond Pullman.👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it. Clan Line actually came through here the other day with the Pullmans, still a wonderful sight and sound.
Oliver Bulleid is my favorite British locomotive designer by far. Stuff like this and the Q1s looks so great and I love how unique his designs were.
For sure, all his stuff was designed from the ground up - he didn’t believe in evolution of predecessors designs! Good luck 🤞
What a Smooth Southern treat, all manner of types, liveries and dirt. Double headed section was brilliant, shades of the old S & D, magic 👍🏻❤
