  • Our second video from John Ryan’s model railway at Over Peover, Cheshire is one of the UK's largest O Gauge layouts. This short film gives a great view of the railway in action, with thanks to Cliff Williams for the footage, smoke and sound effects seen here. The book 'John Ryan's Express' goes into great detail about the development and features excellent photography that puts the viewer right inside the layout.

    The blue prototype Deltic. Just as I remember it about 1960 at Doncaster. Made a right racket parked in the up-side platform for a few hours around lunchtime, waiting for its return trip to K X. :-). Perfectly modelled! Thanks.
    Now, where are my notebooks? 😂

    Could not resist the title!!!! Apart from Sinatra, this took me back to the 60's, when on 0-0 gauge(?) my older brother and I would run the Christmas Eve Special! He hooked up his British trains to mine, led by a Candian Pacific...with a real light! Cool I'd say. All, in our little boxroom, upstairs, in a little terraced house with no bath and an outside toilet. Behind us marshalling yards, and a slaughterhouse, to our right we had our only lovely Catholic neighbours and to our left a Guiness brewery. But as Coproal Jones would say "but they were good times"...............thank you John Ryan.....oh ..by the way.....that train, that train...... ran all night ..until Santa Claus came in, when we had fallen asleep at our posts...and he turned off the power......that burning/acrid smell of over-heated transformers! Thank you all for posting. Magniicent! I can still dream of a mancave one day, can't I?

I'm not a massive fan of diesels, but the sight and sound of that blue Deltic at the head of the maroon BR Mk1s is absolutely stunning.

      You can't go into a video for a specific audience and say that what they are watching is not important. And I quote "Childish". I'd say more elderly people (more mature than you) have model railways than any other age group.
      It's like going into a cicle of African Americans and saying black people suck. It's just a stupid thing to do, and you just did it.
      And I'm pretty sure most people with more than 2 braincells (this excludes you) will realise that these aren't just toys. And will see the work and dedication to the craft displayed.
      "Toys" are the bricks and plastic tat from the dollar store that your parents clearly gave you while you were growing up.

      @@dgall3794 oh by the way, if you want to correct my grammar. Here's all the mistakes _you_ made:
      -It's spelled "They are" _not_ "There"
      -"Nothing been recommended" is improper grammar.
      -After a period, or a "full stop" (I know your stupid so I had to clarify this for you) the following letter begins with a capital letter. In addition when finishing a sentence the period goes directly _after_ the last word, do not put a space then the period.
      -Okay you did the period thing again, this time with two dots for some reason, I'm very sorry for your apparent seizure while writing that.
      -Yet again capital letter after period.
      -Once again you decided to use "there" instead of "they are"
      -Again the period.
      -You can't have a "more accurate opinion" opinions are subjective dumbass.
      -A few more of the space + periods + space and no capitals after a period. I lost count of how many times you did that.
      So, clearly this hobby is out of your IQ range (don't lump yourself in with "most people", most people appreciate the work that went into this layout, and it's insulting to them to compare them with you) so why don't you do yourself a favour and leave. And maybe pay a little more attention in English class before you correct my spelling of "sooo" which was correct by the way. It's poetic license.
