It’s nice to see a video about a small group of enthusiasts doing what they love, without some kind of social agenda. I couldn’t help but smile at these guys talking about their hobby. Their model is amazing too, I love the attention to detail.

I'm a girl and I love model railways!

I like making doll houses. I watched the clip 4 times. Liked it very much. Those men are very talented.

Shows what can be achieved with skill, time and patience... this is impressive

I built my first model railway when I was about 15, now I am 57. It has taught me a lot of useful skills.

I loved models when I was young, I loved going to exhibitions, and building my own set at home.

Incredible detail! These sets could be used in movies!

With such detail I could just stand there and look for hours on end! Love to have the space and time to have such a hobby myself!

Oof, I thought it was real until the camera exited the tunnel and the sky turned into wall and ceiling O~o

you never see a model rail enthusiast with a TGV or Bullet Train set up in Ultra Modern Futuristic situations, it's always, a sledge hammer to the senses of the early 1900's the Golden Era of Railroads. Every Fantasy is Different.

The fact it *only* took them 5 years to achieve that level of detail is probably more impressive. 5 years is nothing when it comes to building model railways

I'd love to go see it in person

Beautiful train layout project! Great work, by great hobbyists!

Perhaps they can help the train network in Britain be successful in real life

*I would thank everyone for watching and to share my passion for trains with you*

loved model trains since I was a kid, they have always fascinated me, ty

The detail replicated is fantastic, shame it wasn’t at model rail Scotland. Cheers Matt

Great work gents.

It's so awesome!

Taking 5 or more years to complete is very common in the hobby.

They are just outstanding.

Simply wonderful

Instead of feebay, there is Model Train Depo to the rescue!

This is an art form

Now this is epic

Some quality content from the BBC

This is the age of the train!

An often overlooked hobby that requires craft skills. 🚂❤️

Labour of love ❤️

Nice models

very cool!

Excellent model and article. Such a refreshing change to give some airtime to those in the hobby who do it purely for the love of making things and promoting high standards. Through this they must have a fuller sense of personal achievement and ultimately provide a truly meaningful encounter between hobbyist and observer. More of this please, less self promotion at the expense of quality modelling.

What a brilliant layout, could be the best in Britain.

Amazing! Hats off to these guys for executing this wonderful model with so much passion and dedication. 👍

What the bbc don’t realise is that often layouts take over 10 years to build

Sensacional !!!🇧🇷

Model railways is slowly getting more recognised

this is my dream toy when i was a kid now this my sons dream

Sheldon would love that.

Great innovation and land mark inventions mostly take time, persistence and execution on time.

Love from Indian railway

Cool

Boss 👍

Nice camera work from eye height

Very creative !!! 😍

5 Years?! Blimey, These Lads Did Put A Lot Of Time & Effort Into Creating Something That Every Young Rail Enthusiast Dreams Of!

I love train model 😘😘😘

Shame a few people here are criticising this layout. It;s a club layout, therefore there will be elements of expertise from all who participated. I am still waiting for Rod Stewart's layout to be featured on television. However he is very private about it. He does it all on his own and his building skills are incredible. In fact he has two huge layouts, one at his home in the U.S and one in the U.K. He can also scratch build like the best. Roger Daltry is not far behind him.

I wish you put captions

Walt Disney was a train enthusiast & built a small theme park called Disneyland after pioneering the animated film production industry.

Model rail enthusiast = his wife must be hell to live with :-D

ENGLISH SUBTITLES PLEASE

I also did my small 2 x 4 N scale layout. hope you like.

Wow I wish I could own one of those toys 💝

Window photo Railway station!

Interesting video!

I wish it was my job. I wish it even now.

I Used to make whole Train System in the little resources I got At the remote area of ASSAM(INDIA) ; Where my father was a Professor . Whatever material I Could arrange ; it. Was the BEST accordingly . I ♡♡♡ my Childhood as well as Locomotive Engineering !

😎

I love this stuff. People been doing this for years. He's done a great job. But I really can't see why it's been broadcast as world news. Rod Stewart loves this stuff too.

only 5?

Not too sure why it's on bbc news - just look at miniatur wunderland

Love from Germany 🇩🇪

What language they are speaking?

Did you have to account for the curvature of the earth in your model as the current train tracks are laid. Apparently London to Manchester climbs significantly uphill all the way.

Don't call it a train set, apparently Rod Stewart gets peeved if you do.

very nice layout you got there .Thumbs up for you .Hope you like mine diesel dave's

класс

Nothing compare to the "Miniatur Wunderland" in Hamburg, Germany

That accent....

Model railways V the pado BBC no contest!!! A ralley is happening now, Savile, Harris, Prince Andrew...... Let's talk railway's shall we!!

Need RC Godzilla with flamethrower mouth now

how it this hobby number 2 too golf it does not make sense

Amazing

Why not just build a real one lol

Oh Tommy Tommy. #panodrama

1000s protesting the bbc outside its headquarters nothing from the bbc

My layout is a rotten piece of shit compared to this scale master piece

*Panodrama*

Some one's found complete disassociation from life. Most things do seem like an unnecessary chore.

not unusual

Ummmmm okeyyyyy

BBC “News” 🙄

These blokes do this because they can’t stand their wives. I’m not kidding!

But BREXIT will force these men to smash the toy trains.....
