This is a great video. The level of detail in this is amazing.

[@martinedwards999]

Thanks. I'm hoping to restart the channel at some point this year, COVID permitting.

[@jimstrainsandstuff9539]

Excellent footage of an excellent exhibition of some truly excellent layouts. Did I mention that I thought it was excellent? Well done everybody concerned. Shows like this keep reminding me of how much I've loved this hobby for over 50 years!

[@jmobem5383]

Loved the Czech-Polish (Hungarian: the Nohab?) cross-border layout around 31:35. Great to see Central European locos in action. Seeing Ian Futers' Lochty Lane also brought back memories of when he invited me round the back of the same one Saturday morning at the SECC. Tried to convert me to 0 gauge but I'm sticking with N/H0/T for now. Thanks for posting.

[@martinedwards999]

You're welcome Jmo, hope you find more to your liking on this channel.

[@medwaymodelrailway7129]

Like the video very much.Hope there more to come.

[@martinedwards999]

Me too, hopefully exhibitions will start again later this year. If so, I'll try and be there.

[@davidsheriff8989]

Wonderful to see all this...

[@380130]

I enjoyed every minute of this video. Excellent filming, great panning and all shots in focus. What more could you ask for. Way up there with the best!

[@martinedwards999]

Thanks for the kind words. A lot is in post production, there's some great editing tools available for modest cost these days, especially to remove camera shake - essential for when my back starts to play up after a long day...

[@2112pk]

19:26 that is adorable and i LOVE it, i wish there were photos of it

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

My goodness that was quite a size of an exhibition! Well done catching it so well. Once again I am delighted with the detail involved. I can only guess that model railways is one of the most popular hobbies around. I have been showing people my little (5 minutes I think) video of the Perth exhibition a few weeks ago. The thumbnail is little wigwams with a bit of track in the corner if you want to see it.

[@martinedwards999]

Hi Terry. Yes, I'll look that up. We see to do very well here, both the Nottingham and Derby exhibitions are huge, and get better each year (and since I live between the two its easy to attend).

[@NorbertRoll]

Absolutely wonderful show and a superb video.

[@martinedwards999]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video.

[@PiedmontBlues]

Thank you very much for including the footage of West Allen Street. :)

[@martinedwards999]

No Problem. I try to add a title shot for each layout, but its not always possible when things are crowded or there isn't a suitable banner. If I missed yours then I can only apologise.

[@WilliamHBaird-eq2hp]

It seems like almost everyone is using Kay-Dee (Magne-Matic) Couplers now in the UK. (At least on the B-end of the locomotives). Surprised it took so long. Canada and the USA have used them since the 1960's

[@WilliamHBaird-eq2hp]

There is an "Ooooops" moment at 20:20 with an EWS loco :-)

[@RM-io7qo]

Absolutely awesome!!!...

[@martinedwards999]

Thanks, John

[@TrainFan_95]

A great video. Some truly amazing layouts.

[@martinedwards999]

Thans TF.

[@trainmanbob]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.

[@martinedwards999]

You're welcome. The Nottingham show is always a good one, watch out for Derby, Loughborough GCR, Derby and Wirksworth shows this year as well - if I can get I'll be videoing those as well.

[@trainmanbob]

Nottingham is my favourite as I have exhibited there in the past and may again in the future. Cheers, Bob

[@khrisabuid4315]

Great video....Thanks for sharing!

[@martinedwards999]

No problem, Khris. Thanks for watching.

[@MrMaxonian206]

Wonderful. Especially Loughborough Derby Road.

[@martinedwards999]

Thanks, Robert.

[@Bruno.Trains]

Simply Superb !!!

[@martinedwards999]

Thanks

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

Perfect location! I'll need to travel to get the experience.😀

[@rhbeadlejr]

Why didn't British steam locomotives have headlights?

[@martinedwards999]

There's actually many reasons - I believe the three most compelling ones are: 1) In Britain most railways have always been fenced off from the public, and only crossed at designated road and rail crossings. Therefore, there is less need for a train to be visible from the track-side at night than in some other countries with less guarded lines. 2) From the early days of railways, lines in the UK have tended to be fully signalled. Thus there is less need for drivers to rely on the headlights of another train as warning, as the signalling should mean that collisions are less likely. 3) British trains of this era carried a head code consisting of a pattern of white discs that indicated the type of service (express, good train etc) At night these were enhanced with white lamps. A headlight would make these unreadable. This is all from memory - please feel free to contradict me.

[@ВалерийФилиппов-д8о]

Very good.

[@ВалерийФилиппов-д8о]

Как много энтузиастов в этом хобби.

[@MsJOHNBIRD]

I am interested in the model of the "Forth Bridge". What scale/gauge is it?

[@martinedwards999]

It's 'T' gauge, or 1:450! See more at www.tgauge.com/. Ther's lots of coverage online for this layout, just google for it. Here's an example - www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5295920.

[@MsJOHNBIRD]

I am very impressed

[@1BCamden]

Lochty Lane, was by far the best overall layout for this video, prototypical in pace, authenticity and attention to detail. The van needed weathering, and the bus was far to long at that stop 😉

[@martinedwards999]

Glad you enjoyed it! Nice to see the attention to detail in some of these layouts, even those of modest size.

[@99ize18]

Unintelligible station announcement - realism.

[@martinedwards999]

True. I'm sure the announcers are trained that way, must be a legal thing...

[@alexlongley6945]

Chris Escritt Love you too we love me and I will be in love the back Monday morning man

[@markboge7713]

Guy blowing his nose was a great inclusion!

[@rhbeadlejr]

Yes. And then he looked at it! Yum.
