This feels somewhat reminiscent of the Hara Model Railway Museum in Japan, and thats a good thing

This was so fun to watch! I wish I could have a permanent layout like this. I would've never guessed so many awesome sets were actually one set! Great work!

Dang your layout really does capture the magic of the older Thomas and friends series. You have my respect.

I’ve always imagined what a Thomas layout would look like if one put time and passion into it. Well guess I don’t have to imagine anymore!! This is an awesome model railroad.

Wow. What a magnificent layout! If this is what it looks like as a WIP, I can only imagine what it'll look like when it's finished. Great job, Christian. And congratulations for 10 years on KZfaq. ;)

I’m 55 and absolutely love the TTTE layout!

2 years missing 😔

And now it’s 12 years

Very nicely done thanks for sharing this tour of the layout I loved Thomas the tank engine growing up I loved George Carlin doing the voices and narrating it .I miss him Soo much

Wow. This is incredible!!! I would never have guessed that in real life the layout was so.... small! In your videos, it looks like Wellsworth is really far away from Tidmouth, when in real life it isn't!! That's what I call art, my friend!

Has it been 10 years?!?! Holy smokes! Anyway man, this was so worth the wait. I absolutely adore your layout, everything about it. Seeing all the models out was really cool too (That Daisy is so good!!!) Also just seeing the trains go around, especially the shot at 5:44 really took me back to when I would watch my own engines run around. Thank you for that. This was honestly lowkey transporting haha, and your awesome playing only added to that. :) Happy Anniversary!

It's incredible what you've done with such a small layout. You've made it seem so--huge! That's spectacular! Well done. Here's to the next 10 years.

it’s really amazing how little you use temporary sets compared to just using a layout especially with models where it’s super popular to use them more than a layout. your layout is amazing and your work is stunning. to another 10 years.

For a moment I thought I was watching a 80's yoga video with the way you're dressed in the beginning lol. Congrats on ten years Mate and you've improved so much on your videos since then and I am very pleased to have watched and even voiced in your videos. keep doing what you do and don't ever stop being awesome! :)

jesus that’s take dedication and attention to detail plus time & money

I Love this Layout, man! Bravo for 10 years.

This is awesome!!!!

The layout is impressive, i knew it was good, but didn’t think it was this good until now. Thanks for showing us man.

Congratulations Christian! You’ve always brought so much wonderful work to the Thomas fandom and your attention to detail is very impressive. Even for a WIP, the layout is spectacular! Did you use a drone for the full look of the layout or are you just a smooth criminal?

😲 OMG 10 years I didn't know you'd get this far I remember when I was watching your remakes from ages ago and look how far you've come, your layout is spot on, with a pot of stunning features and the awesome big station. I also adore your custom Daisy too.

The Layout Tour we needed. Congrats Christian!

Oh boy, what a beautiful layout! And those showcase shots were awesome :). Best 8 minutes I ever spent 🤗

Happy 10th anniversary old chap!

Christian congrats man on the years on KZfaq!! Love your work on the layout so far and can’t wait to see it all completed. Maybe someday I can drive up to your house and hang out with the models and the man of the models...or maybe meet up at Strasburg this summer?? ;)

Oh my god. this really is one of my favourite layouts I've ever seen! and truly what i hope to accomplish with mine. i especially love the Carriage sheds and the sidings with Murdoch and Rosie! The way you have utilised your space... Truly well done !! Hope to see more in the future. :)

Your layout is amazing Chris (and rather unique), and I know I've said it before but I'll say it again, congratulations on reaching 10 years

Unfinished or not, damn, that is a nice layout. XD Congrats on ten years, dude! I know firsthand how hard it can be to grow an audience here, even with as much time, but all the hard work that's evident in everything you've put out has clearly paid off, and it still feels nice to say that I got to be a small part of that journey through the episodes you let me appear in. Thanks for the opportunity, and best of luck for what's to come!

You can tell so much love, effort and passion went into this and it looks wonderful. Amazing job.

So cool to see all of this. I love those updated sections, especially the shed area. Congratulations on 10 years :D

Congratulations on the 10 years! This was a great way to celebrate. Thank you so much for sharing this your layout truly is a sight to behold an inspiration to us all!

Congrats on 10 years Christian, Big fan of The Adventures of Thomas & Friends. Keep Wigglin' o'l mate 💛💙❤️💜

From the moment I saw your layout, I actually didn't expect all those destinations to be placed on the same layout XD Congrats Christian! Here's to another 10 years.

This...wow. I am blown away by how amazing this is, Christian. Here's hoping my layout can meet a similar standard once I've sufficiently set myself up. One thing I'd like to see, if I may be so bold is a similar video about your complete locomotive fleet, complete with names and models of those excellent looking customs you've got. Cheers, mate.

That's what I'm planning to make my layout look like when I have every bachmann thomas model.

Many congratulations on your anniversary! Your layout is very beautifully built, even the big changes from the time I came and visited is phenomenal! Can't wait for future videos and to even come down and visit again someday! Keep up the good work, to many more years!

This is a really cool video, love the new layout. I can’t wait to see it fully finished and ready for filming and happy anniversary.

Congratulations on 10 whole years Christian! Everything from start to end looks awesome! As you really have one amazing layout too! And a really great character palette in your series too after seeing every model you got! Keep shooting for it man, because it looks amazing!

Congrats on 10 years mate! Your modelling work is incredible, both your layout and the engines you have modified. It's always an entertaining pleasure to watch your videos. They reflect the charm realism of the RWS while also incorporating some of the good humour and concepts from the Rv show; a perfect blend! I hope you keep loving what you do, as well as inspiring people like me to one day do something similar (when I have enough room and money that is haha). For now, I'm content to work on building a route digitally until that day. I definitely think this channel will keep inspiring me to add to my routes and ideas for stories. Don't ever stop being awesome ;)

Wow! I've been waiting years to see this, and dang it is impressive!

God it’s been 15 years…

Well worth the wait!

Great job. I'm enjoying the content on your channel

Congrats dude.

Nice TrainsSet Layout

Wow this layout is something else. It’s amazing what a person can do. Continue to do great things.

Congrats and Happy 10th Anniversary, bud!

This is a lovely looking layout Christian. You've done an amazing job on it.

Ooooooooohhhhhh snap he's bout to do it.

Amazing!

This layout is so cool

Wow! What a layout! :)

Yaayyya I’m been anxiously waiting for this

amazing work on the layout, and congratulations on 10 years christian :)

Such an impressive layout, really really talented and you've put alot of effort into it, hope you make more videos soon:)

Hi, Great Layout, Nice to see a bit of Thomas and Friends,

Great vid' good sir, really enjoyed it. Image was really crisp too with the HD. Liking your layout, although I have a different interpretation of areas you certainly have captured the general feel of the areas so hats off to you. :)

This is nice i haven't seen the behind the scenes set for years.

This looks cool

Are you still here and ok?

This is such a great video! I have so many things to say! Firstly, I think your hair is cool. Second, your layout is literally the best layout I’ve seen ever. Third, what merch range did you get for Thomas’s face?

Bloody heck this is good

Many happy returns on your 10th Anniversary! A huge congratulations on this milestone. You really are the best in what this community has to offer. A fantastic and creative writer, with a key eye for direction both visually and realistically. Its been a real treat to see your layout in one whole piece. Very much a work of art with its different locations cleverly interwoven with each other.The intricate track work at the Tidmouth section is a sight to behold. Hope to see more of you as I love working with you and always looking forward to seeing your work, no matter what it is. P.S. Loving the sweat band. I'm singing to Flashdance What a Feeling as we speak!👌🏼😂😂

That was cool even to me and I'm a die hard Hornby fan. Also I do love your hair as its awesome! Possibly consider popping audio in the centre for us headphone users? Impressive layout non the less!

I've got some.1. How did you started doing the set in 2008 when you didn't have Rosie in Bachmann Brand?2. Where did you get your own train effects from like i have when i put my train effects on a Samsung Card Camera?3. What camera do you use to film your set? A Tape Camera Digital8? Mini DV Tape Camera? Or a Card Camera?4. Who do you have to narrate your Thomas Series? Do you think you could have me to narrate?5. Are the separate sets in another room or the main room?6. Did you put the sky paper on the wall? I have.7. Did you do Sony Vegas Pro to animate the faces and eyes?

This layout is amazing!! If I had the room I would love to build this

That layout is amazing!

that's really nice I love it :D though I wish you could have had the rainbow sun train aka strasburg rr #475 from thomas and the magic railroad and shining time station in it with the magic buffers since the shining time station show is part of the thomas and friends universe but it looks great I really love your sodor layout I'm not even kidding by the way congratulations on your 10th year anniversary ;)

Hi. I'm maciej. You has been 10 years that was cool.

Nice Layout

Absolutely awesome mate

I really hope you make videos again man. Your channel has so much untapped potential still.

Congrats on the ten years! And splendid layout by the way! I have 1 question, did you use a bus wire system to make sure the power was extended around the layout? I know you explained the switches controlling different sidings on the layout, but does the mainline have like a bus wire system to extend the power around the whole layout? Or do you use larger transformers to provide power to your whole layout? Congrats again mate!

Very cool stuff

Whaaaat. Yaaaaa

Just found your channel 👍💯👍 fantastic will have a look through your channel 👍💯👍

Noice lay out

That is an amazing layout, I am impressed. And congratulations on 10 years on KZfaq, I'll be reaching that mark next year myself. By the way, who's the red engine beside Stepney?

Some really nice work has gone into this layout. Thank you for showing us this video. Can I ask what did you use for the Thomas face?

Here's more.1. What are your thoughts on my removable track that i use on my bed?2. Did you subscribe to my channel?3. Did you know i've lost my 90's Digital8 Camera and just moved to a 2005 one?

Great

I love your layout,.... is that one of those singing fishes in the background? I have 3 of these with 3 different songs

Is it hard to remember all the controls? Because, I don't think I could remember all the controls myself without labeling them.

You should run flying Scotsman on that layout with 4 teak coaches or even tornado or mallard

How did you change Thomas' face on the Bachmann model & where did you get it from?

I like your funny words magic man

what building kit was used for Knapford Station?

I love your videos and I love your layout and I have a question Where did you get the trucks Thomas and Norman pulled and what kind of trucks are they

Wow, beautiful layout! The size, scale, and attention to details are wonderful! You must be very proud of yourself-and you should be! I really enjoy the series you make, from when you take Thomas tropes and break the stereotypes on them, like with Barry, Salty, and the Flying Kipper and Gordons Hill, the antics of the trucks in Toad's Adventure, down to minor little things, like Toad being Douglas' brake van as in the RWS, whereas most people just put him with Oliver, like in the TVS. I did have a question I wanted to ask: Do you intend to introduce Paxton to the series? Paxton is a recent favorite of mine, and I am over the moon that Bachmann has made a model of him, but I feel a bit disappointed that not many people seem to use him in their series.' I like Paxton particularly because he also broke a stereotype, this time regarding Class 08 Shunters in the TVS. Up until Blue Mountain Mystery, all of the Class 08 Shunters-Diesel, 'Arry, Bert, Splatter, and Dodge- had been troublemakers, and Paxton even caused trouble in Day of the Diesels. But in BMM, Paxton is shown to be rather sweet and kind, a lovable oaf, who can sometimes be misled by others such as fellow Class 08 Diesel. But he didn't mean to cause trouble, and when the time came, he made the right choice by fetching Victor to clear the mess up! It is great to see a friendly Class 08 Shunter for once, and it has always been a treat for me when he appears! I really hope you do decide to get and include Paxton. In BMM, he did what you have a great talent for doing-breaking stereotypes! I feel he would be a great fit for your series. Maybe have him work on Thomas' Branchline, helping Percy with the trucks and in his introduction, have tho others, especially Duck, be mistrustful of him. But maybe have him prove himself, as both a good worker and a good engine, by giving him a choice and having him make the right decision. The decision is ultimately up to you, But I would really hope that you would at least consider putting Paxton in your series: I think he would be a great fit! Looking forward your next video. I hope it comes soon-It has been two years since you last uploaded!

Where do you get the faje grass and rocks from?

Hi, what a great layout! Did you make daisy yourself?

epic

With the isolated lines, can they still be powered?

So what happen to Jeffery’s station,( milk tanker yard), the dock yard in the Barry the rescue engine and the 4th station seen in the trainspotting videos( Also is knapford a station or is it still a wip

Do you use dcc?

Hi there I started my own layout this year and it is still currently under construction and it will be finished soon I just have to put the sky background up and lay the ballast down and just to let you know your layout is spectacular

Oh Thomasfan247, Where have you gone?

Why no more updates on this layout ? We need more

I never seen that bachmann Thomas custom face before. Where did the face come from?

How do you create the steam that comes from under the engines at stations ??

Maybe you show re-paint Merlin & BoCo & maybe paint the N2 tank engine with Ryan's face and then make it like Ryan. These are just ideas for another time.
