Thanks Dave for a superb visit to Perth. Which was my favourite layout? All of them. Everything seemed to be modelled to a very high standard, and so nice to see trains running at correct speeds...at last!! Thanks for your time and effort. Cheers, Bob

[@DeanPark]

Cheers Bob, yes it’s hard to pick a favourite from there. Dave

[@cyberleaderandy1]

​@@DeanParkdefinitely some lovely work on show.

[@bigfella1952]

Great video, with some nice running shots x The Bigfella x

[@DeanPark]

Cheers :-) was a great show.

[@ModelRailwayShed]

Absolutely stunning layouts, thank you for sharing.

[@DeanPark]

My pleasure. :-)

[@mikeryan959]

Thanks for sharing.

[@wolvolad25]

Stunning

[@daviemaclean61]

Thanks, once again, for the coverage Dave. I had intended to go but had relatives were visiting and the cost in brownie points would have been too high. Cheers

[@DeanPark]

Haha, well luckily I filmed some really impressive layouts for you to enjoy. Thanks.

[@andrewpalm2103]

A very interesting collection of exhibition layouts! I particularly liked seeing some whimsy and humor present on one of the layouts. Perhaps not in the best of taste for some, but it's nice to be reminded now and then not to take ourselves too seriously. Cheers from Wisconsin!

[@DeanPark]

Hi, well said! It’s a hobby that’s suppose to be fun after all…the humour etc on that layout has people engaging with it, spending ages watching it, having a laugh and pointing things out to others. It was the perfect layout for an exhibition. I thought it was great :-) cheers. Dave

[@davidstrains4910]

Great video here Dave, a good variety of shots of the various layouts, hope you had a good time.

[@DeanPark]

Cheers. It was a great weekend.

[@StockportJambo]

Superb layouts. Favourite would be Eli Wood, because it had everything. It's the sort of layout I aspire to make. But they were all brilliant.

[@DeanPark]

Yeah Eli wood was a great exhibition layout…always something moving. Entertaining and so well designed and put together.

[@mels1811]

Train layout looks brilliant

[@thegrowler-blackwoodngauge]

It was certainly an excellent show - first time I've ever had to queue after 11am to get in ! Heat though in the two halls was almost unbearable. The layouts were all to a high standard. I would have said hello to you on The Scoonie Hobbies stand but both times I past by the stand you were deep in conversation in trying to persude the individuals to part with thier cash 😅. cheers Euan

[@DeanPark]

I persuaded one person to buy…me! Walked out with one of the locos I was suppose to be selling to other people 😆

[@wolvolad25]

Wow 12:13

[@Sophiebryson510]

Isn’t perth in austrailia?

[@DeanPark]

Well in the hall of this show it would have rivalled Perth Australia for the heat 🥵

[@highlandersixtysix]

One of my favourite shows, unfortunately I couldn't make it over this year due to other commitments, but I was really impressed with the N-gauge layouts. Thanks for taking the time to film and feature them.

[@DeanPark]

Mu pleasure. Yeah the n gauge ones were superb!

[@johnrenforth5825]

Some nice layouts on show, but then again most layouts at shows are good quality and above. Do you not fancy trying your hand at an exhibition layout Dave? Cheers for the video John

[@DeanPark]

Hi. Hmm, maybe one day. I’ll see. Got a lot to do on my layout yet!

[@gordonhanning476]

The layouts at this show were excellent. Cracking detail.

[@DeanPark]

Yup, in my opinion this show made the Glasgow show look poor!

[@fircombehallrailwayoogauge1430]

Cracking footage Dave.

[@markgarforth279]

Brilliant layouts, hard to pick a favorite all were great. It was nice to actually speak to you on the Sunday morning of the show. I'm Simon the guy building a 7.25 gauge Class 40...

[@DeanPark]

Hi, ah yes, i remember our chat :-) was good to chat. It was a good show.

[@brianperrie3960]

You captured a few things that I missed, but in my defence, I was looking for bits for my layout. It was good to have a chat with you as I have been using your layout as an inspiration for a lot of ideas. I was the man from the railway as a signalman, ticket examiner and station-master from Dingwall. I was looking forward to your blog from the exhibition. Thanks.

[@DeanPark]

Hi, thanks for coming to chat and listen to your fascinating working life on the railway. Glad you enjoyed the show and the video. Until next time, thanks. Dave

[@wolvolad25]

Its a shame rail is so generic now

[@DeanPark]

I know. Bring back loco hauled trains 😆

[@cyberleaderandy1]

​@@DeanParki do love the older diesels though. Seemed to have more character in their chugging and clouds of smoke when they started up. 🤔

[@trainsrules080908]

Great video mate. It was a fantastic weekend and was great to have a quick chat just as things were starting to wind down… Jamie ( NOEL group )

[@DeanPark]

Hi Jamie, it was good to meet you and chat about the real railway as well as the model one. Really enjoyed the Scarlington Layout you were manning. Great to see something moving all the time, which made it entertaining. Chat again! Dave

[@marklittlejohn1457]

Some amazing modelling going on David thankyou for the time it must of taken you again thankyou

[@DeanPark]

Cheers. My pleasure. I enjoyed filming these layouts. Dave

This made me want to grow up and sell my extensive collection on ebay that I was going to do as a hobby when I retire.
