Merry Christmas. Best wishes and may you both enjoy your modelling for many years to come.

Merry Christmas Simon, What a lovely present, a class 47 diesel in intercity livery, now you have a complete intercity train from the 1990s with mark 3 coaches and all. For changing from DC to DCC, I saw that it's actually pretty easy with a newer locomotive but for older locomotives it's a lot harder! But I will learn. I hope you enjoy running this beautiful locomotive on your model railway and cherish it for many years to come. Merry Christmas everyone, and I wish you a happy new year. Keep your steam up. Kevig

Nice to see kids not playing with a game on tv or smartphone . Very nice trains and track . A lot of time and effort spend on the layout . But nothing tops the teaching and learning for both young and old . Well done Mr Grandad

Cool video!

Cool!

Now that traverser is one idea that I am going to steal lol... well done chaps

I've never seen a build and finish of a turntable on KZbin. This video will prove useful to many.

Great job on the turn table, is it manual turn or mechanical and what is the name of the pastels? Merry Christmas from Prince Edward Island in Canada!!

Very good progress on the peco turntable, Micheal. I'm sure Simon will be absolutely chuffed to have a functioning turntable on his model railway. Maybe I can add a turntable to my model railway as a future expansion. It was interesting how you incorporated many colors for weathering, how they do that technique on locomotives is a bit tricky for me, how do they do it? Keep up the good work Michael. Keep your steam up Simon Take care Merry Christmas Kevig

good job fantastic

The first part looked like it was straight out of a Thomas the Tank engine series!

Hope all goes well. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

😊😊

This is train tastically brilliant Simon, 3 steam locomotives in the span of a few days! Absolutely beautiful! 44871 just shot through the station like a black bullet in the night and I enjoyed hearing the crew whistling to you early in the day. The shot of Britania at Twyford was good, but as always accidents do happen as I noticed that the shot from the camera was out of focus, annoyingly on the spur of the moment when Britania past through, it's as if the camera went on strike! I sometimes have the same problem with my camera too. But mostly it's due to it being to blurry and not focusing on the main target of the picture. Anyway, I wish you, Micheal and the family dry rails and good running and a wonderful Christmas. Take care Simon keep your steam up. Kevig

Real family fun. USA take notes.

Traintastic video of the swanage railway Simon. I'm glad that you and your Dad Micheal had a great day. Especially the cab visit in the class 33 diesel and getting to ride behind steam locomotive 31806. Comfe Castle was one of the castles built by William the Conquerer as the first English King. But the date of when it was built I don't know yet. It was funny homing pigeons were transported by train because if someone released the catch on the cage the birds would flap about all over the place before flying away. The catch or trap points witnessed at the end can be released by powerful springs or controlled by the signalman if nessecary, these prevent collisions with trains on the mainline. I found that out in one of the Thomas and Friends annual stories. How are things getting on by the way? What sort of train events are going on for Christmas in the UK? I hope you and the family have a wonderful Christmas. Take care and keep your steam up Kevig

they look great, on thing you can do it paint the solebar in a bauxite red brown colour too

من الرائع رؤيه الجد وهو يلعب مع الأحفاد اعتقد انه كان سائق قطار وهو الآن متقاعد لماذا لا تدعوا تلاميذ المدارس وجعلها رحله علمية واكتساب خبرة أنا أول واحد أتي إلى زيارتك🎉🎉🎉🎉

🌹👍Love you all 👍🌹

Lot of mk2s

The great Train 🚆 adventure Simeon your grandfather is very brilliant love you ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Very Very nice and fantastic fabulous 👌 what a thrumendice engineering exlent Mr juntlmem and grandfather of Simmon Very nice family Very interesting in rail engineering from my side great 👍 salute to you we love ❤ 😍 💖 you juntlmen really we love ❤ 😍 💖 you take care bye-bye ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

❤❤ super 🎉🎉

Well done Simon! Careful, patient and such a wonderful helper, following all the instructions to a T ... so very lucky! And Esther did very well too!

Stupid kids

Excellent.

Every boys dream - thanks

Train tastic Simon. Spectacular to see 44871 storm through Twyford station as well as see 34046 braunton in Sonning Cutting. Even the drone footage is excellent, it makes everything look like a model railway from up there. How are things getting on? Take care Simon and you too Michael. Keep your steam up Kevig

Nog steeds leuk om te zien kinderen met opa en goede uitleg super.

Leuk zeg met opa en kleinkinderen leuke hobby mooi gemaakt en veel werk super👍

❤❤❤🎉

We are really glad to see you had an excellent day with us 😊, we hope to see you again sometime soon.

Those trains are so beautiful. What a memorable day!! I'll have to show my son this video tomorrow, I know he'll just love it. Thanks!

Super spoortreinen mooi gemaakt vakman leuk om te zien bedankt.👍👍

WHat percent is the gradient?

what percentage is your incline? Thanks

That's very nice train model

What a wonderful gauge and a wonderful layout!

Top demais

I'd like to know where this setup is located. I am in the United States. I doubt if anything like this is in the United States. But I think an attraction like this would be greatly appreciated by parents of children who show an affinity, including myself, towards all things mechanical.

Just seen this both of them are really is enjoying it

Очень интересно было! Хорошее занятие м увлечение для мальчиков и мужчин!😊

Train-tastic video Simon, and you too Micheal. It's a good thing your friend Henry came along to play with the trains too. I enjoy seeing Mr. Peter Spoerer's gauge 1 model railway, because it reminds me a lot of Thomas the Tank Engine because the production team used gauge 1 models for the filming of episodes from series 1 to 12. But what is even more brilliant is that his models are powered by steam. Each locomotive is surprisingly quick when brought up to speed and you have to run fast in order to catch up with it. He was very informative about the cylinder draincocks, since they allow the water to go out of the cylinders rather than clog it up, sometimes when the process happens on real locomotives, they would jet out huge clouds of pure white steam. I'm going to start volunteering at Puffing Billy railway tomorrow morning! I can hardly wait, so excited! How's your holiday in Belgium, I can't wait to what sort of trains they have. One of Puffing Billy's locomotives was built in Belgium in 1886 and was used by the West Melbourne Gas Works, it's currently in the museum at Menzies Creek station but was used extensively on footplate experience trains, and it retains an American look complete with brass bell and 5 chime whistle. Hope you enjoy your trip in Belgium Take care Simon and happy travels to your family. bye Kevig

As this video approaches an incredible 10 million views, we just wanted to let you know that we were lucky enough to visit Peter and the White Horse Railway again this summer and steam up three more locos with him. We were also able to fly our drone and get some great shots of the railway from the air. Check out the new video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH22haihr62ge8k Thanks everyone who has liked or commented on this video, and if you have enjoyed it please do check out some of our others. We have had a lot of train adventures over the last couple of years since this video was filmed.

This is a marvelous opportunity to teach young children proceedure, patience and an understanding of mechanics at the children's level! The trains use water fire and oil all of which real trains use. And the children are made to understand how everything works. This is an excellent activity for young children. My hats off to you, sir.

How much price in indian rupee if we want buy this rail &: whole layout

what a wonderful layout and setting.... cheers from South Australia.
