Thank you. Loved the video. Light music and not much crowd noise is very welcome. Fantastic layouts and rolling stock. Very easy to watch the whole of this presentation. Thanks again............Tim, Tea Tree Gully. South Australia.
Really glad you enjoyed it Tim! It was a challenge a some points to get close to the layouts with how busy the exhibition was but I'm really pleased with the finished result and there were some stunning models on display. Thanks for watching 😃
Yes definitely a great selection this year! I'm sad to say I didn't capture them all on video so this is just some of what was on display. Thanks for watching 😃
Glad you enjoyed it Dave! It's certainly a big one, I have to admit I wasn't able to film every layout on display so even this is just a selection 😮 Thanks for watching 👍
Awesome, really nice layout that! I've got more footage than what was shown in the video (with so many layouts each one only gets a minute or two to shine!) so I may have to put out a bonus video at some point. Thanks for watching 😃
Nice layouts that were on show. Hope you picked up a couple of bargins on the way. Never been big Model Railway show outside of Warley. I'd like to go to GETS or the London Festival in the future.
Glad you enjoyed it Tim! I have to admit I don't usually buy much at exhibitions (too busy filming layouts usually 😅) but this time I may have picked something up! Both Ally Pally and GETS are great in my opinion, well worth a visit at some point if you can. Thanks for watching 👍
I agree! People get mad when I put music on these videos but I always think it's much better than listening to the people next to me talk about what they had for lunch 😅 I try to find a balance between the ambience of the venue and a bit of music to keep it interesting. Thanks for watching 👍
That sucks! The 2022 show was a pretty good one with some brilliant layouts... I did a video of that one too if you want to go back in time: ua-cam.com/video/fKcPo0nEpEQ/v-deo.html Thanks for watching 😃
Wow that is the biggest model railway exhibition I ever seen I wonder how long it took to build it also very cool shots of the locos running with passenger trains and goods trains including shunting trucks for any train
I believe they set everything up on the Friday night the day before the exhibition! It's a huge operation though to get it all organised so hats off to all those involved. Thanks for watching 😃
Loved watching the premier and talking with everyone in the chat :) great video, keep up the good work man! Merchant navy’s are still better than BoB’s, though 😆
Enjoyed the exhibition but the organisation for entering was abysmal. Queuing failed when the first shuttle bus arrived and they immediately rushed the door. There was one operative on bag checking and then the scanning of tickets was painfully slow. So my 9.30 'admission' saw me actually enter the hall at 9.55. it would have been nice to have been taken out of the rain much sooner and stewarding of the queue should have been in place. Doesn't matter that the exhibition is staffed by volunteers, a lot of ticket money was paid.
Yes, getting in was much more of a trial than it has been in previous years and it didn't seem to be a particularly well thought process. I wouldn't put that on the volunteer stewards though, I would say that's more down to the Ally Pally staff who will be the ones managing entrance to the building itself. That said, once inside I thoroughly enjoyed the show and while getting in a was a bit of a faff it didn't personally ruin my day. Thanks for watching 😃
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy in fairness, yes the main entry was Ally Pally contract security. However, MRC as the client should be specifying (paying for) the level of coverage to make the attendee experience pleasurable. It's not like they can't anticipate the numbers expected to attend. The scanners were all MRC steward controlled. I got over my grump and as said enjoyed myself, not sure the dad with the wingey kid queuing behind me did!
We got there just after 11am I bought a £1 programme and went in no one scanned my ticket but bag was checked.When I went outside told the entrance staff they then scanned QRCODE and gave a reentry wristband.
Having just returned from Ally Pally today, the layouts were ok, it wasn't their best show I have ever been to... I think it was a lack of a real yea I must see that layout, lots of small ones dotted around, couple of medium sized, it was ok, nothing special, no Hornby either which was a surprise to me. I recorded some video but really there's not really much to make a video out of which tells me something.
I did think it lacked a large showstopper this year. Considering last time we had layouts like Copenhagen Fields and Grindley Brook (among others) it did feel like there was a focus on smaller layouts this time. I suppose James Street could be considered a large layout with the amount of track it contains, but being N Gauge it wasn't the largest layout there. That said, there were several layouts I knew I wanted to see which personally didn't disappoint and I discovered lots of other little gems too which really got my gears turning! Thanks for watching 😃

Thanks for sharing Ally Pally so quickly. This is great for those not able to make the event!
My pleasure Andy, I always like to get the video out fairly quickly so that those who couldn't attend don't have to miss out! Thanks for watching 😃
A great overview of Ally Pally, not to mention a great array of layouts!
Yes definitely a great selection this year! I'm sad to say I didn't capture them all on video so this is just some of what was on display. Thanks for watching 😃
Wonderful to see all the layouts - such excellent footage thanks
Thanks Nigel, really glad you enjoyed it! As always, thanks for watching 🤩

Wonderful video sir
Glad you enjoyed it Josh, thanks for watching 😃
Great video some good layouts very nice 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Clive, thanks for watching 😃
its just so nice not having to listen to screaming kids and modelling fans catchting while the model layout is being displayed.
I agree! People get mad when I put music on these videos but I always think it's much better than listening to the people next to me talk about what they had for lunch 😅 I try to find a balance between the ambience of the venue and a bit of music to keep it interesting. Thanks for watching 👍
Completely agree. The music really helps.
Great vid!
Thanks Ian, really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😃
Was a great exhibition. Stewarded on Sat and went with my mum for mother's day on Sun. If anyone saw a guy with an exoskeleton, that was me!
Awesome, glad you got to see it from both sides of the curtain! Thanks for watching 😃
I came to help on melton mobay on the sunday
Amazing, really nice layout that - one of the best there I think! Thanks for watching 😃
I remember that i had to miss the 2022 exhibition because i had covid right as it happened, never letting that happen again
That sucks! The 2022 show was a pretty good one with some brilliant layouts... I did a video of that one too if you want to go back in time: ua-cam.com/video/fKcPo0nEpEQ/v-deo.html Thanks for watching 😃

Was good to have you watching along Will! Thanks for tuning in with us 😃

Are we gonna see any more work on the modular layout soon?
Yes, stay tuned for news on this very, very soon! Thanks for watching 😃
Are you going to York show?
Probably not, it's a bit far to travel and I've really got to spend my weekends building my own layout 😁
Nice
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! 😃
Excellent video, reduced crowd noise which always annoyed me in other videos. Would of liked to see name of each layout at start of each clip.

Looks like I didn't miss much.
This video is from last year's show, not the one this weekend.
