Brilliant trackside detail such as rubbish and broken fencing, weeds, bushes etc - amazing.....and Arse End station!!! Well done.
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!
No problem.. cheers Richard.
The effort gone into this must be saluted
Thank-you.
I love model railway cab rides. I could watch this all day!
Thank you. I did a more recent one late last year around the Cement works.
Very enjoyable tour - The driver wasn't a Bescot man though - he'd have left 25245 running! Excellent work!
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.

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).
I nearly choked when I saw the name Arse End.. brilliant :) loved that, a lot of great work must have gone into that layout.
Thanks, it’s taken 12 years so far...
Cheers Richard
@@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!
It's good to watch again,,, and again. Good photography, nice and clear.
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
Great layout! A nice surprise when it went outside. 🤠 Good SFX as well!
Thank you and thanks for watching.
wouldn't hang around on Arse End station for too long. That signal box looks a little cottagy
😂
And a "pykie" near the platform shelter. Dodgy area!
Seriously, a fab' layout. Am saving so can watch more. 😀
’toilet traders‘...
😆😆😆😆😆😆
Fabulous. Hard work certainly paid off
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
@@CHESEABUN so sad to learn that much of the outside has been lost. Good luck with the inside layout.
I'm not a model railway buff...but the detail when trains pass ..the detail and weathering all round..this shit looks real!..bravo
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
Excellent, much better than just watching the trains whizz round. Lasted a cuppa nicely too.
Simply stunning. Thoroughly enjoyable.
What a great layout and wonderful tour, loved the details ... well done :)
Great train journey, thanks for posting.
Loved the way the tracks are set! And also the scenary on both sides are amazing! Keep it up!
Fantastic layout. The detail is excellent. Must give you hours of pleasure. All the best.
Thank you. Still not finished. Thinking of doing another small extension at some near future stage.
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.
I do like the 37’s. Still many around and some doing mainline services. A very successful loco.
Loved this video with the sound effects. The layout and scenery also fantastic. Well done!
What a great layout - thank you for sharing.
i loved the cab ride and the detailing around the layout is excellent ,the rails looked like real ones with the grubby look ...excellent layout
Another great video!
The detail is so precise like the train waiting at the beginning for the green All Clear...
Wonderful, really enjoyed the trip, thank you
Brilliant 1980 memories. Class 47 with hoppers. HST 125. ❤️ Great out door track gravel. Superb.
Thank you.
WOW! Absolutely beautiful layout. Well done.
Nice touch with the discarded newspaper sheet in the bay platform and white toilet waste on the tracks brilliant layout!
Terrific detail and love the sounds 😀👍
Fantastic layout and one of my all time favourite locos to chauffeur us around.
Fantastic work. Real treat to see.
Brilliant tour. Really enjoyed that.
This is a superb layout and it all looks so realistic from the cab view.
Brilliant layout and fantastic cab ride ..👍
A superb cab ride! Brilliant layout.
It’s so real can’t believe it’s a model - ! Superb !
Thank you! Richard..
Very nice, a lovely 20 mins spent watching the layout slide by. Thanks. Best regards Dave.
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 :)
Fantastic! Watch on my large widescreen TV and looked amazing - great camera! Loved the MPD locos and use of 25 sounds. What a tour!
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.
Brilliant video Richard. Thanks for sharing it.
Love arse end station! Great layout! Cheers from Oz.
Absolutely stunning railway, and loving the humour 👍👍
Wow ! What a fabulous cab ride around the whole layout , one of your best .......Peter
Looks like you got a great area to run round there Richard .. well done
A brilliant layout. Well done to everyone involved 😃
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
Nice layout and Quite EXTENSIVE!! Thanks For Sharing it with Us.
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.
Thank you.
Another mega-impressive cab ride .. excellent! :)
I was really enjoying this train ride until I saw the giant in the background 😂. A lot of work and dedication there. Good to watch.
Thankyou for the kind comments
Amazing work. Congratulations !!!
Great video and superb layout 👍👍👍
Great cab ride on a wonderful layout. Thanks for that. Regards Michael

Stunning layout and presentation.
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...
Brilliant totally immersed in the journey fantastic detailing.
Great work, sounds and feels real
Fantastic layout with super scenery. Great stuff. Barry
Thank you.
Honestly mate I’m jealous, but in all it’s a absolutely stunning layout and loads of effort put in and a lot of time spent and dedication. Nice 👍
Thank you for the kind comments and watching. It has taken over twelve years so far and still in progression.
Me too
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
Inconceivable. I simply can’t get my head around how much work you’ve done, and how good it is. Stunning. Brilliant. Breath taking.
Thank you for your kind comments. It’s undergoing another extension at the moment.
amazing. I look forward to enjoying the ride.
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
Only one word, brilliant, made me chuckle!
Absolute amazing rail therapy....Thank you for sharing
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
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 :-)
Very realistic great job I enjoyed being onboard.
What an amazing ride..great stuff. All the best.
Thanks..
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.👍🏻
Thankyou. Glad I cheered you up. This year has been surreal to say the least.
Brilliant layout and video.
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
I enjoyed the ride I am very impressed
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.
What better way to spend your day..... fantastic👍
Great video. Love the detail
Wow loved every minute of the layout
Thankyou
Just found this vid, absolutely brilliant
Excellent work thanks!
Extremely authentic....well done.!.... brilliant 👌🏽
Thank you for sharing really enjoyed
Fantastic video Richard, my Q1 will have to visit your railway when the lockdown is ended. Best wishes from us.
Oh yes and more!
For a minute there, I forgot that I was on a cab ride..... WOW!!!
Utterly captivating. The mind boggles at the genius and relentless attention to detail which has gone into this layout.
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
Superb absolutely Superb Thanks for the ride around :)
Thank you.
One of the world's greatest layouts. No doubt.
This video is just excellent, well done mate.👍
I love your layout. 👍
Lovely thank you for the tour :D
Great content you really get drawn into the scale of it - then two humans appear on the horizon looking like giants!
Great video - well done. Kevin
nice work. Great details.
Really good fun that. Nice one. Really good model railway. Lots of operational interest.
I like scale cab rides as much as the real thing. Well done. Very enjoyable
Very enjoyable. well done lots of great detail, thanks for sharing.
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 👍
