Great Vid . Nice to see so many scenery orientated layouts. As a scenery guy myself I really luv these layouts. Well done to the organiser in bringing them in to the exhibition.
Grand video done by you both once again, on the Syston Society layout did we see a yellow rubber duck under the viaduct, some great layouts, Thank you for showing us round again. All the best.
As someone looking at starting a layout for the first time it was fantastic display of layouts and the little details that come with the show layouts. The figure diving into the sea and the detail of the slate mine were a joy. It was good to see footage of traders and the prices and stock they carried. It was a good balance of both. Really enjoyed, thanks to the both of you.
Lots of layouts on display, some often seen, others where new, my favorite was the slate mine. Since 009 started you see more and more of these slate mines appear. And I think a lot of people where inspired on the tv series "how the steam train changed the world". There is a very good section in it where a narrow gauge steam train pulls a empty slate train up a mountain to the slate mine, and once the wagons are loaded, they are launched down hill by gravity. And people had to sit on the wagons to handle the breaks on each individual wagon. The man sitting on the first wagon is the brake man, he signals to the people sitting behind him how many people needed to break when the train went to fast, all done without any speed indication, just on puur gut feeling and experience, super dangerous work. But that is the way the victorians did it, if you would do this now in a factory they would probably lock you up, they already give you the bad eye now if you don't were a fluorescent safety vest🤣 Nice video again. Cheers, Danny
The Rivarossi LMS coaches at 25:30 were actually made to the older obselete 1:80 scale then used by some makes in Europe rather than the 1:87 that gets the track gauge right and is now almost universally used for HO scale. As such it is closer to OO scale than HO. Users of 1:80 included European Rivarossi, Fleischman until about 1970, most British Trix and is still in widespread use fir some Japanese prototypes. Rivarossi using this odd scale around 1978 for their newly tooled parallel boiler Royal Scot and LMS appropriate era coaches upset both the OO and HO camp. Amazing detail and quality in most aspects but the scale issues had them cease production and become heavily discounted from their original high prices.
Ah that makes sense, I have a Trix Trans Pennine unit in that scale that just about looks ok running with 00 models. A bit of an oddity though. Thanks for watching Rick
Hi there Rick. Well I am finally watching videos :). I have been on Holiday. So much good stuff in this one!!! So many great Layouts too wow nice:)!!!! So did you get that Locomotive at the beginning :). Great video mate and have a great day too cheers mate!!!!!
For me, it’s got to be a steam locomotive from the Southern Railway. I mean the type that run during the Second World War. My layout is a heritage version of a Dad’s Army’ layout.
Hi guys, great video again. Nice little addition to the fleet there too. I just love how the gentleman took his time to show you some of his models too. I dabble a bit in z scale too and although it's more than just a niche the range of models is a bit limited and though it looks expensive they obviously have the same developing costs as the bigger models. But Märklin does stand for quality. Nowadays with 3D printing you will have more opportunities to get more models, I've seen some good British models on UA-cam too. I'm hoping to see some Dutch diesels in the future and maybe have a go at building, or try, a bit of the Port of Rotterdam. Anyway thanks for the video again.
Liked the slate quarry, but in my opinion a lot of these layouts have to much going on. Prefer the simpler and weathered layouts, which I think look more realistic.
The TMDs usually have far to much going on, I worked at Shirebrook West depot and sometimes nobody was about, Then maybe a couple of crews on duty nothing else.
Beautiful scenes!
Thanks Susanne
What a great video lots of great layouts on show and bargains on stalls thank you for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching Clive
This is one of your best videos, what a good show too. Some fantastic layouts at that exhibition, really high quality modeling.

Great Vid . Nice to see so many scenery orientated layouts. As a scenery guy myself I really luv these layouts. Well done to the organiser in bringing them in to the exhibition.
Hi Garth, a fine set of layouts and a nice variety. It was also great value at only a fiver. All the best Rick
Excellent footage always find your videos interesting 😊
Thanks very much Steve.
The ho scale depot layout was incredible.
Very cool jacket Rick and a nice Mercedes wagon 👍
Cheers Deano
Grand video done by you both once again, on the Syston Society layout did we see a yellow rubber duck under the viaduct, some great layouts, Thank you for showing us round again. All the best.
Hi Gary, yes a number of rubber ducks had been placed on the layout for the children! Thanks for watching Rick

Great to see Paul Lunn explaining the design clinics at WD Models. These are exceptionally useful to those planning new layouts.
Certainly, Paul's knowledge is priceless.
Great video, guys. Nice to meet you at crewe stadium Saturday.
And you, great event! All the best Rick
It’s great to see how intricate some of the exhibition layouts are. It’s interesting to see how the landscape dictates which locomotives are used.
Very true
great video some nice layouts
Cheers Geoffrey
I love the Czech depot layout
Good video as normal 😊
Thanks Caroline
One wagon but any sweet treats from the home of the tart 😂yummy😊
Unfortunately not, just the wagon which was very plasticky.
good vid of train show thanks lee
Thanks Lee
The colour of that water with everybody in it resembles Skeggy!
Another good video and an exhibition missed. Regards Al :o)
Hi Alan, never mind, thanks to the wonders of modern technology you were able to join us! Cheers Rick
That lima Mercedes Covered Gondola wagon was a German wagon. It was in the 1985-1989 packaging.
Thanks Raymond

Some nice layouts weren't there Danny, agree the slate mine was fab. Cheers Rick
That Kestrel diesel was based at Shirebrook West when I worked there, Tested on 100 coal wagons to March in Cambridgeshire.
Bakewell Show should be a fantastic event!! But I’m not going anywhere near that area. I have too much to do in Broxbourne, which is my home area.

Ok lol the last clip you did get it well done you :)!!!!!!!!!
Ha ha yes I did, picked up some good buys recently and we are filming on a steam railway this week. Thanks for watching Rick
Glad you got some good things :). And wow I do look forward to your next video Rick!!! Cheers mate!!!!
The shouting porter is probably the Station Master rather than a porter!! It’s very similar at the Epping Ongar Railway!!
Jealous, I have never seen a Mercedes tanker and I want one now! Really keen price too!
First one I have seen as well Tim. All the best Rick
Each to there own I guess..
Cheers 😀

Hi Ed, Ian is always happy to show us his latest models and they are a joy to see as they are all new and unknown to us. All the best Rick
I'm not having a pop but not all b17s where named after football teams
Ah no problem, cheers James.
Nice Swiss layout. Pity the European trains aren’t done in 00!!
👍👍😎
Personally, I prefer the dear old Spam Can Bulleid. But there again, they’re not as available as they used to be!!
Oh my god, 2mins 45 sec in and Pauline has already said ‘a lovely blue one’ and still 50 mins to go😱 Harry
Ahh, so you do 'Pauline Bingo' too ?
Ha ha that must be a record!
Brilliant lol

Cheers Nick, the slate quarry was brilliant.

The true maximum speed of a Class 101 diesel multiple unit is officially 40 miles per hour.
NiceIce lot of bankrupt stock for sale. Should be cheaper.
