Nice

Thanks for some really fine filming, as good as ever. Ashburton and St Jude, stole the show for me. Sorry Mrs SP.

Beautiful work, excellent design and detail work,,thanks for sharing..😊

Now not international

Very nice scenery,good detailled!

Ive seen your photos in flickr I think they are nice

Nicely done, excellent details and wonderful layouts,,thanks for sharing,,😊

Very nice. I’ve been to Billericay and it’s quite posh little town with a Waitrose.

Thank you very much for filming this. Longframlington was on its very best behaviour for the day. Shame I didn't get to see any of the other layouts as I was operating single-handed but your video helps make up for it. One of the best small shows I've been to.

Ballyconnell Road was at the Ashford Festival of Railway Modelling back on the 6th and 7th of April this year.

Excellent!🚉👍

Hi, Nice to meet you here today and as usual a super video of the layouts. My journey home took over 2 hours (50miles) as A12 one big carpark so in no fit state to do mine but it will come. Cheers Robert.

Aviemore quite any intricate layout. Histon interesting with the low hanging fruit?

Whato SP, Sitting in a tree? Oh, come on.

Brilliant show. Aviemore was a personal favourite, hope to see it again!

Lovely video yet again thanks for sharing. Helps to see how our layouts go from a viewer’s perspective. Love having the from shot again

Good as ever. Mothercombe layout had the edge for me. Stop Mrs P sitting on the track!!

Welldone. It's so beautiful. Nice to watch. I love model trains.

2000 livery

I went there last Saturday

Whato SP, Thanks for putting in the young lady so early. I could concentrate on the layouts instead of looking out for her.

My Grandad used to have miniature railways and he used to go events many times and take part in creating miniature railways with amazing background.

Been to Norwich. Lovely city with a very nice cathedral and castle. Used to live near Norwich.

Hi SP! Just wondered if I could use some of your very useful NXEA videos for a documetary video I'm making on the TOC! I would give you appropriate credit of course :D

Hello SP, brilliant video, I just wondered if I could use part of this video for a documentary I am making on ONE NXEA- with appropriate credit of course! Many thanks

But in the end a little too accelerated

Awesome!👍🚉

Thanks for another fine sharing. I do look forward to your posts, with your attention to detail, and of course seeing what Mrs SP is up to!

Great video, and some great footage of SCB Long Road TMD 😊

My wife bought me a very nice locomotive while I was there . Very good bacon rolls . Great displays as always .😊

Very impressed with Tetbury.

Anyone know what the provenance of that BR cattle van against the cattle dock on the 'O' gauge 'Tetbury' layout is ?

Super show, super video!!!!!!!!!!

Hi SP Rail (I could not find any other location to ask for credit), I just wondered if I could possibly use some of your footage for a video on my channel, Vanmanyo (with appropriate credit). This video would be highly useful for a segment of my video. Many thanks

So real and alive!🚉👍

2:21 sums up railways in Britain.

IGNORANCE IS BLISS ??? At 6:31 an impossible train !!!! The first two coaches are BR Mk1 coaches with Buckeye semi-auto rigid couplers, Pullman corridor gangways with rubbing bars and Retractable buffers. The 3rd & subsequent carriages are all GWR types with British Standard Suspension gangways, screwlink couplers & non retractable buffers. You CAN'T COUPLE THESE TYPES TOGETHER in real life, without special adapter plates being fitted to the BSS gangways !!!!!! In 1923 His Majesties Railway Inspectorate (HMRI) recommended that ALL the "Big Four" Railways (GWR; SR; LMS; & LNER) adopt the Buckeye semi-auto rigid coupler, as it had been proven to be stronger and much safer in derailments than the "Screwlink" chain type coupling, that allowed coaches to roll over in derailments. The SR & LNER as well as the Pullman Company all employed the Buckeye couplings & the wider semi-rigid Pullman type Corridor gangway on all their mainline stock. The GWR & LMS resisted this change on cost grounds. So continued to use the Screwlink chain type coupling and the narrower British Suspension type corridor gangway, with a rounded top. Creating operational problems of working the two types of mainline stock on Inter-regional services. When BR came into existence in 1948, it agreed it would use Buckeyes & Pullman Gangways on all its new coach designs which began appearing from 1951 ! Hence as BR coaches were introduced on all Regions, they had to be kept in complete formations on the ex GWR & LMS lines, as they were incompatible with those companies coaches. On the SR & ER Regions BR Mk1's could be mixed with the ex SR & LNER types !!! At 6:58 another Ignorant mistake. Rebuilt Bulleid Pacifics did not exist in the days of the "Devon Belle" Pullman train. These sorts of daft mistakes on Exhibition layouts are now far too common. Revealing that modellers today do not avail themselves of the necessary reference material needed to built any "Model Railway". Probably because they are stupid enough to honestly think you will find everything you need on the Internet. Instead of using specialist book shops to start building a library of quality Railway Reference books. Indeed I certainly have stopped going to normal Model railway shows, as they have degenerated to the level of childish "Toy Train Set" shows for children & the ignorant masses !!!

Really nice work,love all the details and buildings, especially those houses with backyard gardens etc..😊

My last memory of being a passenger on a mainline steam-hauled train, is on the Fenchurch Street - Tilbury- Shoeburyness Line - coming home to East Tilbury from the dentist in Grays, not long before they stopped running steam, looking out the carriage window and getting soot in my eye. That must’ve been in 1962, when I was 10. 60+ years later and I still love doing it!

Excellent selection and variety of layouts.

LACK OF RESEARCH - SPOILS FAR TO MANY LAYOUTS TODAY !!! Some nice looking layouts. But it is becoming increasingly obvious that many layouts owners have zero comprehension of the existence of the BR Rule book when it comes to "Operation" and even less savvy about signalling and signalling rules !!! Further if your layout is to appear in public exhibitions then you can expect to get "shot down in flames" when you get it all wrong !! For example the "Minories" layout is using Class 31 locos in BR blue that have "marker lights & red tail lights", neither of which were fitted or functional in that era. Only the last vehicle of a train, was obliged to have a "Tail lamp" on a lamp bracket & incorporated electric lights were prohibited. And even if it was a light engine movement a "tail lamp" was required on the rear. Because only a "lamp" was acceptable as the "end of train" marker. The exception was the SR which had a rule/dispensation to allow an electric red rear light, on certain SR EMU's, DEMU's & certain locos (classes 33/71/73/74) with SR type twin roll round illuminated blinds that included "red" sections. What all this reveals is a serious lack of research, and I suspect that an increasing number of modellers think they can rely on the Internet for all they need. No, much of the information you need will not appear on the Internet due to increasing copyright protection law and heavy fines for those who flout said laws. So what you need is good quality railway "Reference" books, pertinent to your particular layout, or regional area. There are many specialist secondhand railway book shops (few of whom advertise on the Internet, only in Railway & model railway magazines) for these reference books, as such books are often only printed once. They can also be found on a number of Steam Railway station bookshops such as the SVR & WSR as well as Peco at their Beer, Devon shop ! And if you are to get the correct carriages & locos on your layout, especially when the layout is based on a real location. Then you also need access to ex BR internal documents such as "CWNA" (Carriage Working Notice Appendices) and of course EWN (Engine Working Notices), for the line and area you are modelling. Both of which were usually "bi-annual" publications issued in conjunction with each Summer & Winter timetable. And organisations such as the Southern email Group, have access to these old documents, which for a small fee, you can get your hands on. Also certain secondhand railway book shops. These ex BR documents will reveal exactly which carriages (including the SET & individual coach numbers & their types & formation) working on the various Regional Divisions & even specific routes. And in the case of the EWN, all the loco rosters for a specific shed, and what loco type was rostered to each specific job, which will also reveal all the light engine movements, time on shed for watering & coaling, and even when "foreign" crews were booked to use the loco for parts of the locos scheduled roster !!!

Been looking for this vid all night as was looking for maria but could not remember the name. Thanks

Great video! I was at the same event and filmed it also: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7mBdLmZ1s2mXWw.htmlsi=ynVGLYqNkXLarXJI - would love your feedback, I'm just starting out on the filming journey!

Beautiful and perfect! But in the first section, the camera shot hastily, which disturbed me quite a bit. Otherwise excellent!👍🚉

How good is that - an index of layouts at the start of the video. Brilliant idea.

Hi. EssexBrick owner here. I am looking to advertise my layout. Is it possible to use the EssexBrick part of the video please?

0:12 think that might just be in ambulance pretending its a train

Perfect job! Awesome! 🚉👍

Perfect beauty!👍🚉

Very nice layouts. Particularly liked Plant city. Thanks for sharing.
