Thank you. Most of the outside section has gone now. Got destroyed in a storm about three years ago when the fence came down. There is about a fifteen foot section still running. Concentrating and expanding the indoor layout section now. Cheers Richard
OH MY! This is sooo fantastic! I too can scarely imagine all the work that went into it. Thank you and mini cam technology for bringing back my childhood imagination!
As a youngster more than 55 years ago now, I had a small railway layout my dad built for me. I can still remember wishing I could get into my three trains to see the layout from the cabs. You have effectively made that fantasy come true with this video. Thank you.
Ha I am 55 too a couple a months ago. And I always wanted to do this as a kid. Now achieved many years later with modern technology. Thanks for watching. Richard
BALLAN PARKWAY Got a few years on you at 62. I was trying to figure out how many years since my Triang train set.... about 55. Where did the time go? Thanks again for the memories, and cheers from central Canada. (Emigrated 32 yr ago).
Amazing. First time I seen a class 37 was when my father took me to Birmingham motor show in 1986. I was 7 years old. We boarded at ruabon station in north Wales, near where I live, and changed at Shrewsbury. A class 37 came in to take us to Birmingham. Having never seen one before, due to only being used to local services in my area, I was amazed by the 37. I have been a huge fan ever since. I live close to llangollen railway, and always go to the diesel days. Amazing layout you have, very impressive. Best of luck.
Incredible layout totally inspiring I never tire of watching it love the outdoor bit and what's been built in the garage so realistic of the railways as I remember them in the 70is
Thank you and thanks for watching. There is not much left of the outside section. The fence came down in a storm about 3 years ago hence taking the railway line with it. New fence but decided not to rebuild the outside section. So much maintenance involved! So concentrated recently on building a marshalling yard extension on the inside layout since. Richard
Thanks for the very kind comment. The outside long run has taken a battering this Winter. The fence posts in which the run is attached to have gone rotten and with the movement of a few Winter storms has warped sections of the track. So the whole fence requires replacing. I am going to have to dismantle that section until the fence is replaced and try and reconfigure how to re instate it?
Thanks. They will be more. I am doing some repairs and replacing the OO fencing. Some of the cork walls I originally installed have disintegrated a bit with the hot weather last week.
@@CHESEABUN 12 years amazing work! I am going to build a railway in my garden and I must realise that it will be work in progress and not like this overnight!
Fantastic layout.Really well done.It looks so realistic I forgot I was seeing through a mini cam.It felt like I was driving it.Incredible attention to detail.Thank you for sharing .
Thank you for the kind comments. A lot of the outside section has gone now after a storm two years ago took the fence down and hence took the track. I am though currently extending the inside to a large marshalling yard.
This ride was amazing ! The hole layouts, bring ones back in the "good old days" :-) one can even smell the diesel and even the old steam in this wonderfull tour...Thanks so much for shearing :-) Ill come around many times :-)
I know next to nothing about modelling but I like trains, and really enjoyed the video. So many great touches. I can't imagine how much work has gone into creating this. Thanks!
@@CHESEABUN Just watched it again, after looking in on some of your other videos about weathering paint effects etc and I'm even more impressed. 12 years is entirely believable to arrive at this quality!
Message from Petra's husband: Fantastic ride i really enjoyed it the detail in your layout is breath taking I wish I had taken the the time years ago to do what you have done. Stunning .
Thank you. Most of the outdoor section came down during a storm two years ago when the fence blew over. There is a small section now a terminus left. I am at present extending the internal sidings in to a marshalling yard and depot stabling point. This is my latest project. Thanks for watching Richard
Absolutely brilliant. This is the most realistic model railway I have seen. I had to look twice on more than one occasion to ensure my self I was looking at a model railway. Having worked in many railway yards in Queensland in my 31 plus years with Queensland Rail as a shunter and trainer I can assure you this is as close to real as one can get I think until we can make the people move.
Been a while since my last visit and what a wonderful transition. Everything from this view looks just like it should. The ground level effects and details are quite well done. The trackside (wall buildings details) come out as if full depth, bravo. Love the miscellaneous papers in the tracks near the station, looks like people really go there. More than just a train set, it's now a real place. Congratulations you are now a creator of places to visit and see. Hard to believe it has been so long in the making. You've made your dad proud sir. And your wife must be a Saint for allowing you to do this. Tell her a fan says thanks for her patience, LOL.
Hi, Sorry only just seen this. Thanks for the kind comments. I will tell the missis. My Dad is not too well at the moment I am in the process of dismantling his layout at this house. I am extending the indoor section with some of his materials and stock. Cheers Richard
What an incredible, atmospheric, spacious railway in what appears to be a standard semi, which still has a garden! And the bonus loop of Arse End. mega :)
Enjoyed the the excursion around your layout. its been awhile since the last tour.......thanks again for sharing this wonderful layout..........best wishes Tony
I’ve been a subscriber for ages & had absolutely no idea how huge your layout is! Didn’t know it had an outside section either. Absolutely brilliant, fabulous detail. Easy to forget that it’s a model. V jealous.
Thanks for the really kind comments. Most of the outside section has gone now due to a storm a couple of years ago taking the whole left hand side down. Hence taking the railway track with it! I am though extending currently the internal layout. A currently constructing slowly a marshalling type yard and depot. Thanks for watching. Richard
Wonderful layout! Very impressed with the scenery, especially the detail and weathering. Love the digital sounds too. Great all round. I look forward to seeing further videos.
This is brilliant, well done to all involved! Loved the cabs eye view. You must live in a dry area to have so much of your layout outdoors. Thanks for cheering me up during this lockdown. Very grateful and impressed.👍🏻
That is fantastic, what a great train ride that was, the layout and the detail is amazing. I’m going to watch that everyday that’s just great. I love the way how you transformed the clothes line into the deep space NASA radar dish😂😂, the entire thing is unreal.
Thanks Greg for the kind comments. Never noticed the washing line! Most of the outside track came down with the fence during a storm a couple of years ago. The fence has been replaced but the line has not. There is still a small portion of it running. I am though extending at current the internal layout to create a marshalling yard and depots. Cheers Richard
I’m in the same Boat David. My 8x6 shed arrives this week into our little back yard but if I achieve a fraction of this I’ll be happy. I can do an outside bit. Do they use special rails do you know ?
@@phil3380 Some do some don't. I believe that you can get Nickel/ Silver (mixed) which don't rust . If you look at the comments on the above its asked n answered . I live in a flat so mine will be titchy
@@phil3380 Just checked tis Nickel/Silver rails and joints soldered. I'd start inside and then when you're happy n had practice venture outside . You can have your spur whatever set up ready inside and connect when ready .
Yes they are nickel silver rails. The outside does require more maintenance than the inside. Had to do some minor repairs to the track last week because of the extreme heat and some fencing had to be replaced.
Remarkably realistic ride with very good sounds! The operation and signalling are also great and the main station and MPD look really good, with a very well-thought-out track layout. You have inspired me!
Thank you and thanks for watching. It’s taken just over 11 yrs so far and has been extended internally by another 13ft recently. Still not finished. Richard
Brilliant to see the full layout again except the bit that goes across the middle LoL , it always impresses me how much you've achieved since I first started watching almost from the beginning. Keep it up Richard it's always a pleasure watching your layout. 👍
Excellent. The level of detail is stunning and I can tap into that era of the railway too (no Class 50's I noticed 😉). I take it the sound effects are through the locos themselves. Loved the Arse End station 😁
Pretty damn cool...may watch again! Last time I watched a cab ride on your layout I seem to remember Arse End was under development and the journey was only to there and back. It was great to see the progress and rest of the layout. Epic
You have made a superb layout which sports tremendous detail. Excellent work. This hobby is a unique one of skill and vision and great mini engineering. Both of my young kids are into making model sets and adding things to them. Hope to see more of your clips
Thanks. I need to change the lighting inside though at some stage. It’s a little dark in certain areas. 70% of the outside section has now been removed due to the long fence in which the brackets were attached too came down last Winter during a storm. The posts were rotten.Had to have the whole fence replaced. There is now a refurbished more detailed terminus outside with a working siding. Will have to do a new tour video soon? Cheers Richard
What a wonderful layout, using what space you have really well. Fantastic modelling - so very realistic. Attention to detail everywhere, right down to your sound effects. Fantastic work. Congratulations. Best regards from Northern Ireland. ☘️👍
Fantastic! A lot of time, effort, dedication and money gone into your layout. Great attention to detail. The 56 on MGR looked so realistic. Well done and thank you for sharing it.
Thanks. Yes about 14 years now. The outside section has changed this year. A lot came down during a storm last Winter. It’s more of a shorter run now revamped.
This was such an entertaining and inspiring watch. You've also given me a name idea for my branch terminus station, though I'm not sure "Bollock Ridge" has quite the same ring and punchiness as "Arse End" 😂
Thankyou. It takes a heck of a lot more maintaining the outside section. Especially after the Winter months. Got a problem this year as the long fence section needs replacing due to rotten posts in which the track is attached to. Going to have to temporarily take that section down until the fence is replaced. Cheers Richard
Not many people have worked that out! 👍. I just wanted to give people a bit of a laugh as well. And thanks for watching. If you want something even more silly? Watch adventures of the OO people I did. Cheers Richard.
Great video brilliant use of place names one fantastic layout just what you need in this semi lock down period to keep you sane i know my layout has been a god send for me thanks for sharing it .
The limit of shunt board is on the wrong track. You only have limit of shunt boards on lines when making wrong route movements. This is to ensure that you do not continue along the line in the wrong direction and collide with a train standing at the next signal protecting the track in the opposite direction. Apart from that, I love this layout!
No probs. A little bit of escapism? Not a railway pun but hopefully now seem to be heading out of the long tunnel of lockdowns and brighter days ahead.
Agreed with the comments of station name...Arse End. (So where did the engine break down. In the Arse End on nowhere)made me smile and watched to the end. Good layout great camera work. Well done.
Thankyou, I do try to throw silly humour into this at times and not take it too seriously. As they say? Laughter is the best medicine! I think we all need a big dose at the moment. Cheers Richard
Excellent video and layout. Details are fantastic. I’ve also learned a lot about operations from reading the comments. I have enough problems with track just in my loft, you must have incredible patience to clean that outside track every time you run it! Have subbed and will have to watch your other videos. Truly inspirational. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely brilliant Richard! Really enjoyed the ride, outside reverse loop working really well, you’ve done a great job there, hope you’re all well and looking forward to a catch up soon mate, cheers Darrell
Brilliant trackside detail such as rubbish and broken fencing, weeds, bushes etc - amazing.....and Arse End station!!! Well done.
Fabulous. Hard work certainly paid off

Inconceivable. I simply can’t get my head around how much work you’ve done, and how good it is. Stunning. Brilliant. Breath taking.

Same here so relaxing and peaceful best time out for a long time . Amazing lay out 👍👍 thank you .take care and stay safe .👍👍
Thanks for the kind comments and watching. Stay safe. Richard
Superb! Really enjoyed that (as did my wife). My favourite period - late 70s/early 80s. Love the depiction of urban grot.
The grot makes all the difference...
Yeah, I agree. That's how train yards are anyway. You can always add grot,,,, or junk in general.
Absolute work of art , brilliant layout worth 20 minutes of anyone’s time 👍
Thankyou for the kind comments.
I'm not a model railway buff...but the detail when trains pass ..the detail and weathering all round..this shit looks real!..bravo
One brilliant layout and incredible attention to detail ..a pleasure to watch..I’ve watched it about 3 times now ..
Thank you more to come...
I started watching this and the whole family joined in, it’s like we went for a train ride without leaving the house! Great layout
Glad you enjoyed it. Anything that brightens peoples days at the moment helps. Thanks for your whole family watching. Keep says my friend.
Excellent, much better than just watching the trains whizz round. Lasted a cuppa nicely too.

ive not seen a track go outside before - the light makes it look even more realistic, nice.
Thankyou. It takes a heck of a lot more maintaining the outside section. Especially after the Winter months. Got a problem this year as the long fence section needs replacing due to rotten posts in which the track is attached to. Going to have to temporarily take that section down until the fence is replaced.

Great job, thanks for sharing. Enjoyed the Social Realism -- Tony Wright meets Ken Loach!
For some reason I do like a little of the run down look on railway modelling? Don’t really know why? Possibly makes it more interesting?
Fantastic video Richard, my Q1 will have to visit your railway when the lockdown is ended. Best wishes from us.
Oh yes and more!

I have enough problems with track just in my loft, you must have incredible patience to clean that outside track every time you run it! Have subbed and will have to watch your other videos. Truly inspirational. Thank you for sharing.
Thankyou and thanks for subbing.
How can anyone thumb this down, brilliant 20 minute ride.
Great video and superb layout 👍👍👍
That set up is every child’s dream!
And grown ups....🤔

Thankyou. More to come...
Absolutely brilliant Richard! Really enjoyed the ride, outside reverse loop working really well, you’ve done a great job there, hope you’re all well and looking forward to a catch up soon mate, cheers Darrell
Thanks Darrell. We are all fine thanks apart from Sandra falling off her bike last week. Huge bruise on her leg!
BALLAN PARKWAY oh no! Hope she’s okay now, we’re all good thanks, baseboards nearly complete and started laying hidden tracks at the moment 👍
