- Part 1 of this series was uploaded by Mike Loveless a number of years ago but Part 2 & 3 dont appear to be up on youtube so I have added them here. Part of the Model World Series shown in 1975 on BBC 1. Vintage Bob Symes. Hope you enjoy!
What I like about this is that the model maker Jack covers in 20 minutes what some You Tubers would take 20 hours to demonstrate with endless chatter. I was a teenager when these programmes were released and they inspired me on my Hornby Dublo layout at the time. Absolutely marvellous 👏
RIP Baron Bob Sykes Schuzmann. A very knowledgable and likeable Gentleman of the finest order. His programmes, commentaries and presentation were legendary amongst model makers.
please dont ever take this off of youtube. i love watching it and the younger generations need to see this.
Wow! This has hit me like a pallet of bricks. I was an avid viewer when I was nine/ten. The theme music the set his voice. What an absolute treat. Thank you for sharing so many emotions.
A great series. I remember rushing home from College to watch these, or watching while doing coursework. Of course, in those days, if you missed it, it was gone forever. Thank you for reproducing these wonderful programmes. Some very important basic, non ageing, instruction, hints, tips and wrinkles!
Ah good days. I can remember watching on a Saturday morning
This brings back memories, it got me into model railways.
I supplied a big model of an RAF Phantom jet, made from the Revell 1:32 kit, for this series. It was filmed in BBC Bristol Whiteladies Road studios, and I met the editor of Scale Models magazine while there, and he asked for an article on how I built it. Happy Days!
To the person who posted these. You are a star sir. I knew there was a show that I used to watch about model railways but just could not remember the date , etc. It was a Major part of a perfect weekend for me. I was still a couple years away from my first motorcycle and girls and such. This show was watched then I would watch on the ball then off to the angling shop to pick up the maggots so that we could go off to Hampton court for a great day fishing on the sunday....Thank you so much....
i like prim and proper english, like these guys talk it... its a delight just to even listen.
The irony is that Bob was Anglo-Austrian! But your comment still rings true regardless.
It's amazing seeing such simple yet effective techniques such as on the trees look so much more realistic than the off the shelf stuff yet is probably cheaper and its intersting to watch all this old footage and see how the hobby has changed and go it's developed especially if you're like me and these programmes are older than you are by a bit
I remember watching this TV series in the 70s.
As a young boy in the 60s, probably like many others at he time I had a small model railwaywhich I enjoyed playing with, but eventually grew out of. I kept it though and i am sure i still have some of it left. You never know, not I am retired I might start again.
What puzzles me is how do you control 3 or 4 trains at the same time. I used to have abn old black transformer with a simple dial, for forwards and reverse. One train at a time was all I could play with.
“Beautiful” series i so remember being so into this series all those years ago when i was 11. I still have the original book and 3 kit plans that the bbc issued in conjunction with the series.
wow! that drilling machine even runs without batteries! this must be magic!
I used heaps of Jack Kine modelling products on layouts in the early 80s! Things have moved on a bit now tho!
Wonderful part 2 of the series.
man, if i had been taught to build houses this way as a boy, my entire room would have been filled up with those after a year... :-)
From better simpler dare I say it happier times. Check out bob with his tie and jacket and hankerchief.
fatwalletboy2 yes, better indeed.
I remember watching this on TV with my dad years ago
Bliss. And Jack Kine of the legendary BBC Visual Effects Department!
Loved watching this when I was a lad
What a gentleman
So 70s and not even Hornby gets a mention!
I'm sure this was repeated in the early 90s

Wasn't live great in them days ,,And simple ! ;-)
I have great paperbilities!
