Somerset and Dorset - Yorkshire Dales Model Railway
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- I had a go at recreating some of Ivo Peter’s classic Somerset and Dorset railway footage on my layout this week.
The Somerset and Dorset was a line of quirky individuality, great scenery and one that seemed to struggle against overwhelming odds. Its main line climbed to 247m above sea level and it contained several single line sections, but on summer Saturdays it managed to handle a huge volume of holiday trains, when it seemed every possible locomotive was drafted into service to handle heavy trains requiring double-heading and banking over the steep gradients.
Locomotives featured:
92211 BR Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 (Bachmann)
73030 BR Standard Class 5MT 4-6-0 (Bachmann)
76114 BR Standard Class 4MT 2-6-0 (Bachmann)
75062 BR Standard Class 4MT 4-6-0 (Hornby)
44044 Midland 4F 0-6-0 (Bachmann)
34032 West Country Class ‘Camelford’ 4-6-2 (Hornby)
As always, thanks for watching.

Every time one thinks- "okay, he can't come up with a new presentation," you blow it out of the ballpark as we say here. That was a brilliant mix of reality and art. If you aren't pleased with yourself for that piece of work- you'll never be happy. That was supreme!
Thanks Anthony, glad you liked this one. I’ll have to do the same thing with some old footage from around where the layout is actually set next time!
I sadly never travelled in the SDJR, mostly Bournemouth Central to Southampton...must say very well done........interesting how you interlaced, must of been the late great Ivo Peters films, with your railway.nice one..really enjoyed that...
Fabulous. Exceptionally realistic model of a much missed railway. You have done Ivo proud with this!
Thanks Steve, appreciate it!
Always look forward to your videos Lewis.
You sure have put a lot of hard work into this and all your content, which is very much appreciated!
I’ve always enjoyed the IP films and your re-enactments are a joy!
Thanks again!
Thanks very much, appreciate it. Glad you enjoy the videos.
You never fail to amaze me. I am not a railway modeller, but I can recognise excellent craftsmanship. You appear to get the balance of detail just right - neither too much or too little. Do keep up the good work.atb
Thanks very much Gareth, appreciate it.
Love the bleached out clips where the 4f etc appear to be floating on a summer heat haze
Me too, they are some great shots.
Thanks for the Thursday pick me up video. It is great how your art of layout allows you to simulate past reality 😁
Thanks Greg 😀
Simple. A stroke of genius. Pete
Thanks Pete!
Well done ! Wowsers ! Wolf howl ! Never seen before 😲 This proves that your railway is like reality ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you 😀
Absolutely fantastic!! The way you blended reality and your universe was fantastic
Thanks Robert!
A stunning video, i must say i look forward to each video you produce, beautiful visuals, and sounds, superb Mike.
Thanks Mike!
Superb ! I really like to see kinky prototypical configurations recreated in model form. And we have some of the most oddball-likes here !
I will ever be amaze by your creatives ideas, you made one of your best today.
Thanks Olivier, appreciate it! 😀
Simply sublime. Excellent editing . I don't need to comment on the modelling skills. Very well done sir.
Thank you 😀
A wonderful recreation of the railway footage. Always a pleasure to watch.
Thank you!
@@MouldyRaspberry you're more than welcome.
Hi Lewis. Excellent, some wonderful recreations of the real thing. Very nice and I thoroughly enjoyed watching. Chris.
Thanks very much Chris!
Amazing! That's real craftsmanship. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video. Well done!
Thanks Robert 👍🏻
Brilliant juxtaposition of the prototypical then and the scale now. My first visit to your channel. I was impressed. Subscribed.
Thank you, appreciate it.
Lewis you have done it again another great video G.🚂🚂🇬🇧
Thanks Big G! 👍🏻
Great juxtaposition between prototype and model. Good use of real sound as well.
Thanks Stuart, appreciate it.
Lewis .... Wonderful ! classic Ivo ... beautifully recreated ... !
Thanks Steve, glad you liked it.
Bonjour Lewis, Another fine video pleasant to watch ! Nice heritage and transfer to your layout. Well done ! Greetings
Thanks Filip!
What a great blend Lewis! Some interesting working indeed. 👍👍👍
Thanks Gary 👍🏻
Well - you really have taken this to another level Lewis ! ! The glowing comments say it all. You HAVE to be congratulated here - I found this video quite moving and although it's saying an awful lot, Paul thinks it's the most remarkable one you have done, out of MANY remarkable. And this really does seem to illuminate the particular realism of your loco weathering techniques to great advantage. A HUGE thank you! Teresa & Paul @ Findhorn Light
Thanks both, glad you enjoyed this one. I might try something similar with a few other locations if I can find some more footage I can use. Have a great weekend 😀
This is great. I am fascinated by the Somerset and Dorset railway. When I have looked at various locations along the line on google, it can be hard to believe that it ever really existed.
Thanks, glad you liked it. Me neither, I wish I could have seen it back in the day!
@@MouldyRaspberry So do I. The best we can do is watch Ivo Peters wonderful films and photos and try to get a feel of what the line might have been like on our model railways as you have done. If you haven't already, I recommend that you watch Bath Greenpark on UA-cam. It is an O gauge layout and really gives you a sense of what the line was like.
I do love the old footage and it blended in nicely with the shots from your layout its great to see something a little different.
Keep Safe...….Kev
Thank you Kev 👍🏻
Fantastic as always and such a clever idea for a video. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thank you, glad you liked it!
Hi Jim,
What a super idea and you carried it off with aplomb well done more like this please. Keep safe and well.
Cheers Robert.
Hi,
Sorry just watched Hovermotion and had Jim,s name in my head but the comment is all for you please do more.
Cheers Robert.(or is it Fred. John or a Man with no name!!!)
Ha thanks Robert, I’ll pass on your thanks to Jim. I’ll have a go at another one of these.
@@MouldyRaspberry Hi, I did comment to Jim at Hovermotion also, will look forward to a new one of these.
Cheers Robert.
Just awesome Lewis !! I love this ! Thanks for sharing. Cheers Onno.
Thanks Onno!
That is stunning love that bullied and the standard 4 your layout is something else amazing work!!!
Standard 5*
Thank you, appreciate it!
Mouldy Raspberry no worries😃
Lewis in a word BRILLIANT Cheers Greg
Thanks Greg!
Very entertaining video 👍🏻 nice start to the morning 😎🚂
Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Beautifully done' took me to another time, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Ralph!
Lewis,
What a treat - SDJR transposed to YDMR! Great to see the transposed context recreated with hints from historic clips from the great Ivo Peters, without whose work over many years the Herculean effort of the joint railway and an essential service to the former Somerset coalfields, would by now have been forgotten.
Though I have previously mentioned to you my connection to & memories of GWR railway cottages in south Somerset, I probably didn’t mention 2 periods of my being a ‘near neighbour’ to sections of the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway - a line shared between Midland (LMS) and LSWR (Southern), but passing through GWR territory, .
1: in 1952, with my young brother, I was taken to a Somerset CC children’s home for months whilst our Mum was away in hospital. The children’s home at Bawdrip was on the Branch of SDJR from Evercreech Junction to Bridgwater. It overlooked Bawdrip Halt, but that section of line closed in late 1952. In June 1953 I remember being walked down the hill by the Matron, under the railway bridge, as the oldest child resident at the Home, so I could attend the TV showing of HM Queen’s coronation. The TV was on the altar as all the village residents joined in the celebrations and together watched the only TV set in the village.
2. Years later, but not long before Beeching, my parents moved to Bath, off Englishcombe Lane, overlooking the 1 in 40 single track climb up Devonshire bank, out of the city, towards a tunnel shown at 9:08 clip. Since the S&D closed, I’ve often driven through towns, country and former stations along the former route of this idiosyncratic line. Today I live within 5 miles of the eventual destination of those southbound passenger services viz. the now demolished station at ‘Bournemouth West’. Peter
Thank you Peter, appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed this one. The only TV set in the village, crazy! Sound like good memories though. I wonder whether you ever passed Ivo Peters at any point!
Lewis, My journeys over the Mendips toward the coast only really started years after the line closure, especially when we moved to Dorset. That was a long time after Ivo Peter’s Bentley was chasing trains between viewpoints.
Bath has always been a focal point for my wife & me, as we met and married there. The winding journey via Radstock, Shepton Mallet, Templecombe towards the Stour, by road takes in beautiful countryside beating more direct routes unless time is essential.
As for TV sets, like many, my parents only bought a 12” Echo floor standing TV after the Coronation. Consumer goods, like cars and household appliances really only became more affordable & so widespread from the 1960s.
YDMR, a Great layout! Peter
Brilliant! Another fantastic video from you, what more can I say.
Thanks Tim 😀
Oh very nice, I like how you tried recreating the scene from the video. I wish I still had my Ivo Peters on DVD not VHS.
Thanks. There are a couple on UA-cam, but some are not the best quality.
well Lewis that was awesome really worked out well you never ceace to amaze me
the clips followed of perfectly and again the sound was amazing aspecially with the double headers well done mate keep em coming thanks for sharing mate , 10/10 . stay safe mate Syd
Thanks Syd, appreciate it. The double headers are quite tricky to match the sound up to!
yeah i can imagine you did very well there Lewis , look forward to more :) syd
This is a brilliant recreation very well done and as usual the detail is fantastic
Thank you 😀
Great juxtaposition, Lewis. Beautiful and wonderful as always. Great stuff. See ya next time.
Thanks Norman, glad you liked it.
Absolutely awesome 👍 well done.
Thanks Grahame 👍🏻
¡Hola buenos días Lewis! Perfect breakfast treat. Added to the fact that I have been within metres of some of those filming locations, your skill at replicating the scenes is, as ever, well thought out and directed. You really have captured the essence of the whole train modelling hobby. Let’s hope others will be able to take inspiration from your work and use it to improve their skills. Trust all is good in the Dales and, you’re staying fit and safe. Un saludo. Gary
Thanks Gary, glad you liked it. The double headers are surprisingly hard to try and match the sound up! All good here thanks, hope you are as well.
A masterpiece Lewis, a true masterpiece. David.
Thanks David!
GREAT VIDIO KEEP THEM COMING ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO THEM
Thanks Phillip!
absolutely outstanding
Thank you!
Another quality video. There's just something about the maroon and blood and custard coaches.
Thanks Davie. Agreed, although I could of done with a few southern green coaches here!
Great video love looking at your layout
Thanks Mike 👍🏻
All I can say is WOW!!
Thanks Chris! 👍🏻
It is my time on the TV to watch this beautiful masterpiece
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
Excellent idea - really great video. 👍👍
Thanks Jack 👍🏻
This is the best yet - a fantastic idea in the first place, and brilliantly executed. Best layout on UA-cam by a mile!
Thank you, glad you liked this one!
Brilliant, this used to be my patch (including blackberrying on Carters siding! )
If the bar gets any higher you 're gonna need oxygen!
Ha thanks, glad you liked it. Quite a lovely patch!
An excellent way of showing the influence on your layout, you have surpassed yourself with filming and editing, telling a story of steam loco rail travel. your loco weathering and scenery are top notch, representing days gone by. A pleasure to watch, very enjoyable mouldy.
Thank you Brian, appreciate it 👍🏻
This was awesome! You must have read my mind as I was going to do something like this in the far future! Worked quite well with your layout and not seen anywhere else people doing this. Really told a story this and was perfect to watch after a day at work. Clint
Thanks Clint, appreciate it. No I’ve not seen it too often either, we could be onto something!
It just gets better and better Mr Raspberry. Whatever will you come up with next ?????
Stay safe
Cheers, Bob
Thanks Bob, you as well.
Love the video and the detail in of the layout never ceases to amaze me!!!!!
Thank you, glad you liked it!
Fantastic how you weaved the story line from real life into a running session. Blooming marvellous, really enjoyed it, cheers!
Thanks Andrew 👍🏻 Glad you liked it!
Looking good keep posting up videos stay safe
Thanks matey, you as well.
Hi Lewis, fabulous video splicing footage from the real SDJR in with your own layout of trains that ran on the SDJR. The old SDJR route is local to me and I worked in Bath for many years so the shots of the trains on your layout with the two tunnels and viaduct reminds me of the old route climbing out of Bath through Lyncombe Vale with the Devonshire and Combedown Tunnels. :-) There is a great UA-cam channel called Bath Greenpark which is well worth watching. Stay Safe and look forward to the next video...a GWR themed episode..??? Gary
Thanks very much Gary. Yes I've seen that channel, it's great! It's O gauge I think, so it must be an enormous layout. That's a good suggestion, maybe a Welsh themed video with the 56xx, pannier and Grange. You as well.
You excelled yourself again. But carry on like this and we are going to have to start calling you Ivo, it is quite charming how your layout can take on with some sucess a railway some three hundred miles south and there was a fair bit of single working on the S&D too. Brilliant, thank you for a most entertaining and nostalgic video.
Thanks Steve, glad you liked it. I’ll have to try the same again with some old footage from around the Yorkshire area. Maybe even a S&C themed video.
Absolutely fantastic presentation and just shows you’re layout off perfectly.. top work, loved it...Chris
Thank you Chris 👍🏻
A excellent well thought out clip ,using the video footage and then mimicking it on the lay ....some think different and well presented .............thanks for sharing
Thanks Paul 👍🏻
Had me captivated from start to finish. Regards Stephen.
Thanks Stephen, glad you liked it.
Hi Lewis that is fabulous your vedio is better than the original film, wonderful editing.
Thanks Bob!
Great bit of editing there real smooth and a great watch
Could you do a convoy video of all you locos.
Thanks Josh. Good suggestion, I did somthing similar a while ago where I ran every loco:
ua-cam.com/video/rTtCzcyJ_JE/v-deo.html
Thanks Lewis, another brilliant vid, one of my favorite lines that I never took the opportunity to ride on when I had the chance, but Bournemouth Central took first choice, and one day it was all gone. Stay well.
Thank you. I reckon a lot of people were in that position, so we are lucky to have these films!
Excellent 👍
Thanks Colin!
Awesome and original and you sure have mastered the art of mixing in those amazing sound tracks.
Thank Tom 👍🏻
That was interesting Lewis never seen any thing like that before keep em coming.
Thanks Tony 👍🏻
A clever idea well executed. That was very entertaining, thanks.
Thanks Frank 👍🏻
that was really clever mix of real and your layout I know thats took ages to film and edit. brilliant
Thank you, appreciate it.
Excellent video especially with the Ivo Peter's inserts.
Thanks Martyn 👍🏻
You have done it again 😍
Thanks Sam!
Funny goings on at Templecombe!! To have an extra loco to bring you back into the platform. Very nice young man. Well done.
Yes that one didn’t make much sense on my layout! Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it.
You really have built one of the most jaw dropping layouts I've ever seen. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏻...just wanted to say that mate.
Thanks very much Chris, that's very kind of you!
@@MouldyRaspberry 😁
Brilliantly matching scene for scene. Must have taken a fair bit of research to see what you could emulate. And I love the way YOUR soundtrack actually sounds like it would be, including panning from the perspective of the camera. Brilliant. Oh, did I say Brilliant yet?
Regards Mark in the UK.
Thanks very much Mark, appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed it.
I would love to be mini on your Layout for a day!
Imagine how cool that would be,
It would never rain!
What a great Layout you have I'm definitely inspired.
Thanks very much. I often wish that as well!
Mouldy Raspberry Time to film yourself against green screen and use something like open source OBS Studio to have a wander around!
Nice one Lewis! The S&D was really quite a special little railway. Cheers Joachim
Agreed, thanks Joachim!
Great video.
Thank you 👍🏻
Brilliant. Another first. What will you come up with I wonder. 👍👍. 🍺 cheers mate.😎
Thanks David! 😀
Well done, I enjoy your vids 5 times a week. The idea to share the film in an original part and a model part is great.
Greetings from GY
Frank
Thanks Frank, glad you enjoyed it👍🏻
Lewis, perfect video, interchanging the real life trains into your layout. The details on your layout are amazing and i also would love to be a mini on your layout to see it first hand at that level. Great job with the camera angles too. Thanks for sharing and stay safe. Ken
Thank you Ken, glad you liked it!
beautiful shots id love to see a 7f on your layout. to be honest though pretty much anything would look great on your loverly layout
Thank you. I like the 7Fs as well, I'll have to keep an eye out for one.
That was a lot of fun Lewis, great idea worked well, cheers Paul at Sandling Junction
Thanks Paul!
Great reproductions of real footage, it's now official your layout looks better than the real thing. Such a shame they didn't have HD back in the day.
Thanks Rob. The quality of the clips I went through seemed to really vary. I wonder whether that’s because of the way it’s been copied from a VHS and uploaded or it’s because the actual footage was like that.
Fantastic recreation of ivos films all you need I a 7f on goods all the best from pete
Thanks Pete. Yes a 7F was definitely missing!
very good
Thanks Stephen 👍🏻
Are there any awards for best video content on UA-cam?
Cheers William, there should be!
this is damn amazing who ever made this
Thank you, appreciate it.
W.O.W. !!! The passing from archive footage to the same consist (or nearly same consist) on the Dales is pure Genius ! My only regret would be not seing freight trafic, but i know that I am being quite picky there as I'm sirt of a freight operation addict... Just what I needed to lift my spirits up as I received a new prototype for test-assembly... can't wait to see what will come next... Severn ? Dartmouth line ? West Somerset ? Or perhaps the Settle-Carlisle ? Any of those would get me extatic !
Thanks Eric. I did think the same thing - almost all the footage I could find was passenger trains, and the only freight footage I could find was hauling my 7Fs, which I don’t have! Now you mention that, there are plenty of these I could do! It’s got to be Settle-Carlisle next I think!
@@MouldyRaspberry Yes ! I really like that line, even if it's not a former GWR one... The advantage also is that you'd be able to either run freight & passenger steam, as I know there are nice videos there of both type of trains on that line, or also you could run contemporary freight & passenger trafic with touristic steam trains intertwined between them like it is nowadays... Two videos I like about the line are the documentary by Michael Portillo in his "Great British Railways Journeys" serie, and an old VHS documentary on the history of the line I had found at my local club in Liège and inherited as I am the only UK-prototype modeller in the club and perhaps even in the area... (most UK prototype modellers apparently are located in the flanders & in the Netherlands it seems... ). If I come along the documentary on UA-cam, I'll forward you the link !
Found it ! ua-cam.com/video/a12H63J6gC0/v-deo.html
and also another nice video of trains in the 60's on the line : ua-cam.com/video/O5s6fOXu5kA/v-deo.html
Yep as I suspected!
Despite the single track you’d of thought it was the S&D! Then again after templecombe it was single for a Stretch.
Should’ve sent me an email and I’d of lent you my 7F to use.
Great video mate. Helps get me though a 60+ working hour week!
Cheers Ross.
Thanks very much Ross. Yes a 7F was the one thing missing. Most of the footage I went through was 7Fs and I couldn’t use any of it!
Nice !
LG Gert
Thank you 👍🏻
Fabulous, I know its a cliche but you could always get the model of Ivo Peters Bentley should you choose to echo some of his other films , or if he visits the Yorkshire Dales !
Ah yes I forgot about the classic Bentley! Now you mention that I recall a few people including it on S&D layouts I’ve seen in magazines. I wonder he’d think of it!
Really enjoyed the way you have edited this. The youtube footage looks to be copied from old VHS Ivo's original was shown on BBC years ago and was really good quality I think he used 16mm film rather than the usual 8mm.
Thanks! I thought that might be the case, some of the footage I went through did look like really good quality. I’ll have to see if I can get a hold of them.
Try searching The Ivo Peters Collection which is a series of his films on DVD. They may still be available
Great S & D tribute. I now must watch Ivo's videos again! Good to see the complex reversals at Templecombe.
What coaching stock was on the last train and the one at 9.22?
Big thanks for this video! Best wishes, Bob.
Thank you Bob, glad you liked it. They’re two Gresley suburbans and a Thompson suburban (or perhaps the other way around?). I still need a brake coach for that set but they are £45 new, so I’m waiting until one pops up second hand somewhere.

Doublehead train.
Glad you liked it Julián 😀
Like your layout concept,and how to create scenery.Could you show how it is wired and the method of control, if you have not already.Watched most of the Videos and look forward to each new one.thanks.
Thanks Dennis, appreciate it. Yes, but it will be a 10 second video! It’s just a couple of powered rail joiners at either end of the layout. I use a gaugemaster combi with an extended lead to walk up and down the loft. That’s literally it!
How many years did it take to build this railway? it is stunning, but how do you keep the dust off it?
I started it in 2018 I think and had pretty much finished by 2020. I don’t really have any issues with dust luckily.
amazing video mate and a very beautiful recreation of the legendary S&D only thing missing is a 7F but the trains were amazing recreations and gotta love the sound effects mind if i ask whats the longest passenger train the layout can handle?
Thank you. So much of the old footage is of 7Fs and I couldn’t use any of it! As many coaches as my strongest loco could handle I guess, the longest I’ve had on is 12/13 coaches.
@@MouldyRaspberry quite a lengthy train and well i know 7F locos are not that cheap
Well that was different!
Well done Lewis, very ingenious. I notice that your new scenery just blends in seamlessly, that is sometimes hard to pull off. Any more changes in the works? Great video
Cheers from Canada
Bob
Thanks Bob, appreciate it. Not much other than extending the storage yard round the corner - there were just a couple of siding there before. It’s impossible to get flexitrack and points here at the minute though so it’s on hold!
Which one is the model? Haha great job as always friend!
Ha, thank you 😀
Which images are real and which ones in scale?Luciano
Ha, thanks Luciano 😀
Sorry Mouldy, I´am a bit speechless and still enjoy! "SURPRISE SUCCEEDED" Great compilation!!! Kindly regards from your german model mate Olli, alias "DER Z-CRACK"
Thanks Olli, appreciate it! Have a good weekend.
