- Опубліковано 9 січ 2025
- Power up the Volume as a Duchess and a Duke, a Princess and a Princess Coronation storm through Neville Grove.
If that's not enough, more classic Crewe steam products star in the form of a Stanier 8F and a Riddles 9F in this action packed video edited with real sound.
The big namers here are the superb Hornby OO gauge models, each custom weathered for clients or to form part of my own collection.
In order of appearance we have the following in action:
Stanier 8F: 48045
46229 DUCHESS OF HAMILTON,
71000 DUKE OF GLOUCESTER,
46207 PRINCESS ARTHUR OF CONNAUGHT,
92249 Riddles 9F,
46256 Princess Coronation: SIR WILLIAM A STANIER FRS

The videography is brilliant on your videos
Thank you so much, much appreciated 👍
The level of detail is outstanding fantastic excellent and well-done . absolutely brilliant.
Thanks very much indeed I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍
I love how you managed to muffle the sound when the train went behind the house, just like pacing a train IRL. Excellent editing skills.
Thanks Sam! That was the effect I was after, well done for noticing! 🙌
@@NEVILLEGROVE can you make an eight frieght blues video please
Really clever camera work you make them come alive
Thanks John that’s kind of you to say 👍
The height created by the upper loops makes for such an impressive layout, especially with the loco shed at the bottom giving a real sense of depth and scale. The upper level feels like eye level from what I gather in these clips and I feel that really completes the feeling of standing by a real railway.
Thanks very much, I do try and take shots from low down where possible - embankments are great for that!
Beautiful camerawork and editing - a pleasure to watch.
Thanks MrT, glad you approve and enjoyed!
Amazing work. Lovely editing on a beautiful layout with expertly weathered locomotives. Perfect.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks very much for watching!
These Pacifics look great running at speed.
I think my most favorite part is that there is always motion, there is always a train passing by- to me that conveys that there is always progress going on aside from just being dynamic and giving the eye something to track (lol). And maybe I’m reminded of the joy of the railways series when models similar to this were used- more believable than animation but cleaner than reality, it given me something to think on, to wonder, and to dream of whether or not it’s possible to have steam locomotives with none of the obsolescence.
The vid also givens me inspiration that a build your own railroad game would do well to have capacity for such dynamic interaction as seen here- make it feel like it’s all in motion like a great symphony.
Thanks so much for the wonderfully thoughtful and enlightened comment, something for me to ponder and aim to continue in future videos.
Incredible realism and attention to detail. Quite stunning.
Ah thanks very much! Glad you think so and that you enjoyed 👍
All those engines and trains are just smashing!!!
Thanks Michael, I’m pleased to say some are mine, but unfortunately Duchess of Hamilton and The Duke have gone back to their owners now.
Very impressive Neville Grove! Red unstreamlined Princess Coronations are poetry and power in motion!
Yes they are! Thanks for watching.
Extraordinarily good and great camera work. The distance perspective was very well captured. All you need now is some smoke and a driver sitting in each loco. Great!
Thanks very much glad you enjoyed. Yes agreed about the crew, I’ve fitted them in my locos but not all my customers want them fitted so they remain driverless! 😂 I’m currently less convinced about fitting smoke though at OO gauge (price and scale issues), that’s the main reason for the layout being set in high summer as steam isn’t visible on a hot day anyway 😉
@@NEVILLEGROVE Great Job, keep steaming ahead.
There look great on your layout.very nice.
Thanks very much, the layout has to suit all regions and most eras where possible, but Midland stock is ideal given the maroon station furniture.
@@NEVILLEGROVE Very nice and Thank you very much for replying to my comment. I would love if you could take a quick look at my page and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Fantastic video as usual, Steve. Really nice to get lost in the moment and enjoy some model steam.
Cheers fella, glad the video was able to do that for you!
Only one thing to say and that is WOW!
Cool thanks! 👍👍👍
Fantastic video. Nothing like steam belting along
You got that right! Thanks for watching.
A stunning video. Most enjoyable ! Thanks for sharing.
No probs - thanks for watching Filip!
Brilliant, impressive, great - one of the best railroad videos I have ever seen!!!
Awesome thanks very much Bernhard! Glad you enjoyed.👍
Very nice video. Thanks for posting. I really liked the long parcels train.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks. Yeah I was hoping would be reminiscent of Princesses on the Scottish Fish Trains, there are some lovely pics of 46201 on a long string of vans on Google etc.
Excellent as always … my favourite Model Railway Station … thank you 🙏
Many thanks Nigel, I'm honoured that you feel that way about Neville Grove, glad you enjoyed the video.
An absolute credit to you, my son and I are hooked.
Thank you very much, that's great I'm glad you both enjoy!
Once again, flawless 😍👏🏻
Thanks dude! 🙌
Very impressive. Great video.
HOW?!
HOW IS IT THAT REALISTIC?!
Haha! Thanks Matti, I’m glad you think it’s realistic. Each video is made with lots of perseverance and patience, plus it helps being an obsessive and lifelong train geek 😂
Great vídeo. Many thanks.
Brilliant camera work really enjoyed this running session
Thank you very much Mick, glad you enjoyed!
Takes me back to when I was a child in the 1950's, sitting beside the Trent Valley main line at Colwich. What a pity that the world moved on.
That must have been quite something. Colwich is near Nottingham right? I don’t know the area very well but was that the Midland mainline or the Great Central?
Great camera work and sound.
Thanks Thomas, glad you liked it 👍
Many thanks for sharing. The sound really brings the action to life, unlike the tinny DCC sound.
DCC sound is great for adding fun to the operation of the railway, but ONLY if the chuffs have a deep a bass as possible and synchronised correctly with the right number of beats per revolution - otherwise it drives me nuts - perhaps that’s an OCD I have!
DCC sound has come a long way in the past few years. Don't judge it on what you heard 5+ years ago.
Simply the best on UA-cam
Wow thanks very much Steve!
Great video, struggling to resist the urge to purchase some steam locos!
Do it! They’d look absolutely at home on a charter!
Brilliant video! Great to see The Duke out for a run as well 👍🏼
Thanks Joe, yes lovely to have the Duke pay a visit - I’d love to add one to my own collection one day!
Wonderful stuff 🤗
Thanks very much 😊
This is the best video I have seen.
Excellent and keep up the good work.
Thanks Ronnie, that’s high praise indeed but much appreciated! Much more in the pipeline…
Superb! Gosh, that’s got me fired up and raring to go.
Excellent, thanks!
V. Interesting! Seeing one of those noisy machines operating without a crew is funny to boot 😊
😂😂😂
Gigantisch...! Thank you.
Thanks Hans! No problem.
Three dislikes???! What wrong with these people?!
Truly excellent work. Your hard work pays off again. 😊
Haha thanks! I’m hoping the dislikes are only because someone was expecting to see Kate or Meghan, but only to find a model railway video! 😂
@@NEVILLEGROVE I’ve had my fill of Kate, Meggsy and the bottle of baby oil…. For now.
@@timsytanker 😂
Probably other UA-camrs who are green with envy at the quality and imagination in these videos
Brilliant!
Thanks 🙌
There's a proper Duchess, 46256, in the best livery the class ever wore with those modern Ivatt refinements. A right shame she wasn't held in the same regard as 60007 or even 46201.
Yeah I agree, I know she never wore it herself but I’d love to see Duchess of Sutherland in that livery, several sisters did after all, so it would look right (unlike on Galatea 😂).
fab camera work.
Many thanks Angelo!
Superb👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Neil, glad you enjoyed! 👍👍👍
Man this is nice
Awesome thanks dude 👍
Fantastic
Thanks Andy, glad you enjoyed.
Would love a layout like this...
Very impressive Steve,
Love the finishes on these locos. They all look great. A master has been at work.
Ross.
Thanks Ross, a contrast of regal shine and utter filth on the goods locos.
Super nice video 🚂🚂🚂🚂👍👍👍👍👌🙋🏻♂️.
Greetings Gert
Many thanks!
I've said it before but just Wow!!!
Cool thanks Steve! Glad you enjoyed.
Excellent.........But I would Be Expecting to See Drivers And Firmen On The Duke , Stainer Pacifics, And 9f. It works Brilliantly With Them On The 8f Clanking Through The Station.
Incredible realism and attention to detail as previously mentioned, there is lots to like, but where are the engine crews?
great footage, eight carriages seem to work, any back story on the number. Love the 6207 sequence, up express parcel
Ha well only that any more would result in the Duke wheel slipping. The later and heavier Duchess and Princess models can handle more but I’m not sure I’d have enough maroon stock to run simultaneously anyway 🙈
Checked the episode again for a touch of layout enthusiasm, still works 😊
I love it!!! Do you have the flying Scotsman to? That would be awesome too!
I don’t unfortunately no, but I have recorded footage of sister loco “The White Knight” which will feature in a future video.
@@NEVILLEGROVE awesome! Do you have any tank engines? Thanks everyone
@@michaelschultz5127 Yesh I have several, I really should feature done shouldn’t I?! The Fairburn 2-6-4T has made a couple of cameo appearances, see Six Steam Spectacular and the Standard 5’s video.
Fabulous a Super D would have been nice.
Thanks Tim, yes indeed! I do have one in my collection, it’s awaiting a chip and weathering, then it’ll definitely feature on a long slow plodding freight. Watch this space!
Very beautiful 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂 trains 🚂
Love the realizum
Great thanks! 🙏
If you ever please do a tutorial on how to make your models look realistic by dusting them and weathering them, please and ty?
Lucky it was a nice day, must be a helicopter or drone used to film to keep up with the engines, drivers could have waved at the cameras though
😂
Would love 6201 in preserved condition, but I can't for the life of me find the modern tooling
Those look amazing! Thank you for sharing! Do happen to know what material was used for the large brick retaining walls seen at the end?
Hi Craig, thanks for watching! All the retaining walls (and viaduct) were made using Scalescenes downloadable kits, each kit bashed to suit the curves / heights required.
@@NEVILLEGROVE thank you!
Hard to believe it's 00 !
Haha cheers Ron!
So realistic
Love your weathering with a bit of gloss, however, glossy dirty box vans ??
Thanks Andrew, certainly no gloss has been applied to any box vans, although there are some in the rake that I bought second hand and need attention at some point.
@@NEVILLEGROVE well something on them was reflecting the light quite strongly. Maybe your powerful modeling lights, then again I have a good few brands of matt varnish and some are nowhere near as matt as they should be, being more satin
Love the Duchess of Hamilton! Is that a rtr or kit ot conversion?
It is a beauty! It’s the Hornby special edition with the museum quality high gloss finish. It’s a very good finish for RTR but was sent to me to tone it down a tad with some subtle weathering / details/ coal etc to give the appearance that it was on its first trip since overhaul (pre-preservation days).
Do you have any King Class Neville?
Attention to detail superb , but why no driver and firemen. Footplate looks very empty ! !
Thanks Reg, most of my locos have crew fitted, as seen here, but not all of my customers want crew fitted to their models as part of the service - for example the owners of the Duchess and the Duke in this video..
Duchess of Hamilton
Duke Of Gloucester
Princess Arthur of Carnaught
Sir William A. Stanier F. R. S.
Indeed!
I enjoyed the pictures of the trains. However, maybe I'm wrong but the whistle sounds appear to be those of American trains, and thus out of place.
Hi Stephen thanks for watching. I can see what you mean there are similarities I suppose, but the whistles used here are 100% correct. They are taken from the exact types of locos in real life. The LMS locos (the maroon ones) have “Stanier hooters” whilst Duke of Gloucester has a “chime whistle” similar to that used on Mallard and all the other A4’s amongst several other types here in the UK. The 9F on the freight near the end has a higher pitched and more conventional sounding whistle, again this was taken from a recording from a real 9F. As far as possible I always use the sounds as accurately as possible, even down to the speed of the sound / number of wheel revolutions on the model, as well as use of the Doppler effect. Hope this helps, Steve.
@@NEVILLEGROVE Thank you for the explanation. It appears I was mistaken.
@@sheltie777 No problem! Hopefully if your kind enough to watch any of my videos again you’ll know the sounds are all genuine 👍👍👍
And this folks is why DCC steam sound is pointless. Unless they get it like this I wont fork out the extra money. Very few diesels have it correct (SLW) . Motion poetry captured. More please thank you
Noice
Thanks!
👏👏👏👍
FASTESt BOIIIIIIIII
Dubbed sound ! Not impressed !
😂
