    Impressive modelling of Kings Cross and the southern end of the East Coast Main Line. The video seems to be a concerto for trains and bells!

      Yes, just like American modellers blaring those damn locomotive horns on their layouts and not in the appropriate places like grade crossings, but ALL OVER the blasted layout the locomotives are blaring the horns. It's irritating as hell...

    The constant bells would drive me mental but the layouts nice.

      You get use to it. When operating its easy to concentrate on your own block bells being close by and by picking up the different sounds of each one.

    At least one SPAD. I wouldn’t like to be on a train through some of the crossovers at those sort of speeds.

    Hi what gauge is this? Looks larger than HO/OO?

    What's with the bells?

      It’s a way signal boxes communicate to each other to signal trains. Each type of train is identified by a different bell code. E.G an express passenger would be sent as 4 bells, whereas a light engine would be signalled as a 2-3. We use a version of absolute block signalling that’s used on the Mainline.

    It's a fantastic layout, but this is not King's Cross to Hitchin.

      I know. There's no bus replacement service from Welwyn onwards

    Layout and scenery are fantastic, but apart from the "bells" it sounds a little soulless?
