The shear expanse of scenery, in a relatively small footprint, makes this one of the more impressive layouts I've seen in quite awhile. It's almost what the English countryside demands, isn't it? This is a great layout no matter what side of the pond you're on. The level of detailed scenes are simply amazing. I'd love to see this IRL.
Hello David, Thank you for the comment, and like you say this is one of a few layouts where it looks like the railway was added later and had to work with the existing scenery. Thanks again, Karl and Debbie.
Hello Alan, yes it's a nice layout, not too much track, make it look more natural. We keep meaning to go back to take another look, thanks Karl and Debbie.
Hi, thats a really great layout, I visited it once too, it's quite local to me. Your description didn't really do it justice in that you didn't mention the signalling and track circuits which is why the trains are radio controlled and require battery packs in the coaches and wagons. There is no track power for the trains because it's used for the signalling. Nice to see the layout though, great stuff, all the best Dave.
Wow, breathtaking, sublime! My dream scene, although I'd have gone modern image locomotives to do it justice. Remember, steam trains can run on modern lines too but electric/diesel locos can't run on a a scene from a 100 odd years back!
LOL, that is very true, Yes the layout is amazing, and I Hope to be going back to it soon to see a true running session :), Thanks Again Karl and Debbie
Enormous and terrific layout with incredible detailing. Live tge station canopy, bridges. Did you fabricate the roof trusses it were they 3d printed? The scene across the rooftops is very realistic looking- great job. Thanks for sharing
Hello Charlie, it is an amazing layout :). The layout is old so I'm guessing everything pre-dates 3D printing. Keep watch, as we maybe going back to do more filming :)
LOL, that would be nice - we are talking with people who run it, so I hope to get someone talking about the layout, but can't promise it! Thanks, Karl and Debbie
Love how much of the layout is left open space for scenery. Well done.
Hello Joe, yes it's nice to have a good balance of railway and scenery, Thanks Karl and Debbie
I remember the Model Rail video, awesome layout AND layout operations 👍😊💜
Yes, it's truly a awesome layout, I hope to return and do more filming soon. Thanks for watching, Karl and Debbie.
@@KarlAndDebbieTrains Ill look forward to your next film. Is the layout still RC🤔🤔
@@musoseven8218 Yes that's right still RC, Something I hope to show in more detail in the next video.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful layout. Such a great display of excellent modelling. The details are so good and with such care. Wonderful.
Hello Paul, it is an amazing layout and very well-detailed for a large layout. Thanks, Karl and Debbie

Linkfiels looks like quite a busy station. I love the scenery, and the accuracy of the time period it depicts.
Hello Alan, yes it's a nice layout, not too much track, make it look more natural. We keep meaning to go back to take another look, thanks Karl and Debbie.
Stunning layout. I imagine dusting the scenery is a nightmare?
LOL, yes I'm sure some bit get can't be reached, They do have one trap door in the middle. Thanks Karl and Debbie
beautiful :)
Absolutely stunning. Pray nothing derails in the center. :D
yes that would be a nightmare - they do have one trap door, but the rest would be done with long grabbers. Thanks Karl and Debbie

Hello Dave, yes we are still planning to re-visit and try and show a bit more about the layout, it is amazing :)
All i can say is WOW..
Hello, To add to the WOW factor all the locos and rolling stock are built from kits! Thanks Karl and Debbie

Looks amazing!
Yes, it's an amazing layout, even more so if you get to see it in person, Thanks Karl and Debbie
That is lovely, how do you get to the middle for cleaning and maintenance 🤔
Hello, yes it's an amazing layout, they have one trap door near the middle and some long grabbers :)
How on earth do you work on or fix things on something so big?
Where do you put your feet?
Hello, LOL yes, Most of the track is near the edges :), and they have a small trapdoor :)
How do you reach the stuff in the middle of the layout if you have to?
Hello, They have one trap door in the middle and some very long arms.
Thanks Karl and Debbie
Nice looking layout , but you need better lighting
Thanks, Russell. I think that is a common problem for layouts. When filming my home layout I use spot lights to help.
Thanks Karl and Debbie
How on Earth does he reach anything?
Simple they don't :), it was built-in modules and they do have one trap door, but the rest is done with long grabbers. Thanks, Karl and Debbie
@@KarlAndDebbieTrains Thanks.
Eh lad it's grand really grand !
LOL, it's an amazing layout :)
Wonderful layout but terrible lighting on video.
Hello Andrew, yes a shame the lighting has a different refresh rate than my camera :(, but still you get the idea :)
Come on Andrew it ain't that bad pop into specsavers.
@@KarlAndDebbieTrains Thank you for replying. I wish you well with future videos and hoep to see more of this layout in particular.
Too much chatter when what’s needed is a commentary is needed
LOL, that would be nice - we are talking with people who run it, so I hope to get someone talking about the layout, but can't promise it! Thanks, Karl and Debbie
I bet it chost a fue bob
I agree - It helps that David Clarke was an Ferrari driver in the 1950s and (I think) owned an official Ferrari dealership :)
