I am only 5 minutes in to the video but already i feel I just have to comment. Your track work is simply amazing! The weathering, and subtle changes in the ballast colour just looks so realistic! Even the rust on the sides of the rails is done in a way to make it look so realistic. It really sets your layout apart from many others. The shots of those sweeping curves just look so good, I have to admit I am sad to think I am about to watch you lift them. But I am sure the newly laid section will look just as good. Like i say, i am only 5 minutes in, but just could not stop myself from commenting. Right, back to the video! Edit: The new section looks fantastic, the curves look even better! And the class 90 looks superb in the livery you have given it, will be great to see a pair double heading in the future. A wonderful layout, and always a joy to watch.

I joked before the exhibition that Hornby would not be there because they would need security. However it turned out not to be a joke. I do not care what their reason is. I think we all know that they were worried about the amount of abuse they would get.

Crikey Mick, that was a long video. Very good though. It was great to see how you lay your track and ballast it. At first I thought there was nothing wrong with the way it looked but it certainly looks better in the finished version. Loved the crows. Great running session too. Roy didn't make it to Ally-Pally.
