Still one of the most realistic British model railway layouts: Knaresborough - The Worlds End

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
  • This British model railway layout is based on the North Yorkshire market town of Knaresborough, its railway station and surrounding area. The modern image 4mm/ft scale model railway layout has been constructed by Pete Goss. The layout has only a simple branch line theme with trains running through the station on a twin track continuous circuit run. Also featured is the large stone built and ornate viaduct over the River Nidd which is around 5 feet long. The layout was set in the time period around 2005 to 2015, so the rolling stock includes the modern day colourfully liveried DMU’s and several long special model trains.
    Modelling this miniature world was for Pete an exciting journey into authentic model building construction that produced an array of architecturally interesting buildings taken from High Street and Market Place in the town centre together with parts of Finkle Street, Kirkgate, Waterside, Riverside and Water Bag Bank. The name “Worlds End” refers to the pub that features at the front of this layout. Knaresborough’s railway station and town scene were already the subject of a video by Pilentum Television. However, this version is digitally remastered with authentic rail sounds and Pilentum’s unique musical melodies.
    Have a nice Saint Nicholas Day, and enjoy the Feast of Saint Nicholas with your family!

    Oh, dear. Confession time.
    Something like 55 years ago, I lived in Starbeck and friends and I used to walk from Starbeck to Knaresborough from time to time. We lived in Fairways Ave and there was access to the fields , Starbeck side , via a public footpath over the golf course. You could get to the viaduct over the fields opposite he golf course, so we did. And then we would cross to Knaresborough over the Nidd viaduct along the railway line. I promise not to do it again.

    It is quite stunning, and a lovely and idyllic recreation; but some of the comments here are so ignorant. There is no inadequate fool like a social media inadequate fool trying to compensate for their sad little lives!

    Pete Goss should be justifiably proud of this work. The detail is fantastic and the skill needed
    to achieve that detail, greater still.

    I might be a little biased as Knaresborough is my home town, but i think this is one of the finest layouts i've seen

    As a resident of Knaresborough I can say that this is awesome and incredibly accurate.

    Oh I just love these sets. The care and attention to detail just amazes me. Little ideal worlds. Perfection. A break from life’s too often sad realities.🙏👍

    This is the most beautiful model railway I have ever seen. The detail is incredible! It reminds me of the England I left 44 years ago.
