Hi. Many thanks for featuring Wolfstatt in your 2023 best of video. I have only come across it today. Your camera work is very nice showing Wolfstatt at it's best, much appreciated. Craig. Wolfstatt owner.

Because I have a selection of steam locomotives and a DMU, I had to change my layout from Walmington-on-Sea to Walmington cum Yealmington, the West Sussex location of the television series “Dad’s Army”.

It’s great to hear the steam sounds on the depot layout. Very exciting!!!!

What a wonderful steam shed!! But there again, I’m a steam fanatic!!

I rather like the Northern Belle livery!! It looks good on a diesel locomotive!!

Thank you for producing the usual great footage and putting it on KZbin. Watching model railway exhibitions is one of the greatest things on KZbin!!

Which company runs the purple livery Class 70 on the first layout?

This is more like my line of country!’ To me, 00 rules the roost, as does DCC Sound for both diesel and steam engines.

Thank you for sharing your video of the best Scottish layouts. You’ve done well to get so many layouts onto your video. GREAT!!!

Not many British trains have bells on them!! Why has the Class 24/5 got one?

Levenbank is certainly a wonderful layout. I’m not sure about its accuracy, but it shows the great Scottish landscape to full advantage.

amazing hun xx

Sherton Abbas looks just like dear old Sherborne!! I used to get off there when I went to boarding school!!

The video has just confirmed that this layout is a Great Western layout in the style of a Great Eastern one. Gorgeous!!

Which region is this layout? It looks like it might be something very similar to the Wisbech and Upwell Tramway.

Lovely to see your archives!! It’s always great to see model railway shows, even if they weren’t filmed in the year in which we watch them.

Some gorgeous layouts!! It’s nice to see some larger models in use!!

Which part of the Somerset and Dorset would the layout with the Jinty be? I don’t recognise it!! I went to boarding school just outside Wincanton.

Some very attractive layouts!! I haven’t seen one that I would personally favour!! It’s just wonderful to see that 0 Gauge is still in production and use!!

Very enjoyable video. Some excellent modelling on show. But what were the occasional bursts of musical vocals on the PA system? Were Great Western modellers being called to prayer at the GW shrine behind the Heljan stand? Swindon types will do anything to promote their chosen prototype.

Another excellent filming of this show, thank you

Super show from Bristol, just watched all 5 parts in one sitting. Outstanding model railways and, no hassle watching them. Keep up the good work. All the best... Steve

Five fantastic videos, really enjoy watching and the way you format them is great 👍 Unfortunately due to illness I was unable to attend so really appreciate your hard work putting these together so I can still get to see the exhibition. Many thanks, Mike 🤗

Fantastic videos of the exhibition 😊

Another few gorgeous layouts!! As I don’t come north or west very often with my current electric car, I haven’t been to Bristol for many years. Next year, perhaps!!

dcc125, I would like your permission to use your Mostyn and Broghton East videos as part of our promotion for our forthcoming Railex exhibition. I will of course credit you in the video. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

dcc125, I would like your permission to use your Canada Street video as part of our promotion for our forthcoming Railex exhibition. I will of course credit you in the video. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Just have to say thanks again for your superb filming, very easy to watch, giving us time to notice the layouts' details. Thank you

IN THE TIME MODELLERS FORGOT !!!! 0:44 In the steam era, passenger trains HAD to have a carriage with a brake compartment in the last vehicle ! A major reason why many passenger trains operated with a braked vehicle each end, which saved shunting at the end of the line !!! Until 1978 the "Guard" was a Security Guard for the safety of the train & passengers. And was legally empowered to restrain troublesome passengers with ANY force deemed necessary to ensure safety, and a Bardic lamp came in very handy on such occasions ! He was therefore obliged to spend much of his time in his brake compartment, as his other duties included being responsible for ensuring the Driver did not pass a signal at danger, which explains periscopes & lookouts !!!

IGNORANCE IS BLISS !!! Modellers today make some really daft mistakes, which reveals they have NO knowledge of operational reality ! Passenger stock: ex GWR & LMS corridor coaches could NOT be coupled to ex SR, LNER, BR or Pullman corridor coaches, as the former had British Standard Suspension corridors with Screwlink couplings, while the later had Pullman corridor gangways with rubbing bars & Buckeye semi-auto couplers. BR steam era Freight trains: Vacuum fitted wagons (painted mainly red oxide) had to go in front of any "Unfitted" (no train brake) wagons usually painted light grey, for obvious safety reasons !!!!

Excellent filming, great modelling, thank you

Excellent as always

So far i have seen one Collision, no evidece of either train drivers in cabs or passengers in trains. (retired BR Train driver)

Thank you for the five videos really enjoyed them.

Excellent viewing

Just got back from there and really enjoyed it. Some fantastic layouts there!

Bridge Street is a lovely piece of work. For my eyes, it’s a great layout with everything you expect from a model railway.

Wow!! The Class 37 and the Class 43 sound like the real locomotives!!

My top 2 favourite layouts in this video are the Chapel-en-le-Frith and Grantham layouts because I love all the steam hauled long haul passenger trains!

My top favourite layout in this video is the Old Elms Road layout because I love all the steam hauled and diesel hauled long haul passenger trains!

My top 3 favourite layouts are the Forest Gate Parkway layout, the Lower Templecombe layout and the Bridge Street layout because I love all the diesel and steam hauled passenger trains!

im first

Weekends are busy so I don’t get to exhibitions as often as I would like - planning to get to Railex at the end of the month

Wow - this is current - what an excellent service for those of us who can’t visit in person

My god that first layout is superb 👌

Another quality video of quality layouts!! Thank you for sharing your passion with people like me!!

That was absolutely great!! I really enjoy your videos as and when they arrive.

Lisworth Bay is a really good layout, but it’s one of those that is close but no cigar!!

I see Welby Lane’s a diesel depot. If I was to make a depot, it would be a steam one. I’ve seen this done in 0 gauge, but never in 00!!

Rostven is much more interesting to me as I, too model in 00. I’m considering looking at a 009 layout to replicate the Folk’s Railway in Brighton. It’s about time that a major model manufacturer brought out a selection of the trains for this attractive little railway rather than leaving it to kit manufacturers to make the most of this short seaside railway.
