The blending of the scenery with the painted background is most superb... I often stopped the vid to figure out where the two meet & blend...the commentary is well narrated too.... the whole has a nostalgic / sombre undertone adding to the realism...

A huge part of the realism in this layout is the quality of the misty subdued palette of colours chosen for the buildings and landscape - not forgetting this amazing sky👍🤗❤️

I’m not a fan of GW branch lines or narrow gauge, but this model and all its architectural research, details and finesse is quite simply a masterpiece. Congratulations.

I love the use of bas relief, forced perspective and flattened buildings to make more fit into the shallow space. I do think this is very effective on this layout and I have not seen it done so well by other modelers. Very nice.

Great little O Gauge layout with all the scenes of the village and surrounding hills etc. Thank you for showing it off in this wonderfully made time capsule film.

Love your narration and the angles into the streets, which shows an excellent way of enhancing depth of field, really adds to the illusion of the model becoming a representative of, in this case, a bygone Welsh world.

Particularly enjoyed the newsreel, special effects and narration. You captured the character and fondness for the places with the attention to detail of a charming, more leisurely time. Your roster of equipment photographs well. The allure of model railroading is the satisfaction of constructing a world more perfect than our real one.

Personally, I consider you've made this an accomplished job; clearly, many hours have lovingly gone into this reconstruction. I was but four years old when I rode on one of the last steam trains ever run - prior to the Diesel/electric era, but similarly, I remember that experience well - etched as it is into my memory. In my mind, nothing beats steam. Very well done !! 🙂

What are your rock buildings made from. This whole thing is amazing!

@robertbrown2728 2 жыл бұрын

The walls are mostly done with DAS clay and painted with a mixture of watercolour and artists oil paints. The stone blocks are scribed into the clay while it is still a bit damp. When the clay is completely dry I use abrasive paper to finish the shapingshaping basic shells puff the buildings are from card/ balsa. I usually treat three card with knotting to protect it from the oil paints and also to stiffen it a bit.

Machynlleth. If anyone doesn't know, the double-LL in Welsh is pronouced somewhat similarly to a "th" in English (as in "think", not "thine") with an L after it, and the Y like a "u" (as in English DUN). The CH is similar to the "ch" in Scots loch (also, similar to the German pronunciation.
