[@westhavengwr4613]

Loved this one. A but different.

[@SDJR7F88]

No worries! Was great to see the layout in the flesh. Really is something operationally different.

[@miranda_imp]

Some stunning detail with great layouts. Thanks for sharing

[@SDJR7F88]

Cheers Bob. Glad you enjoyed the coverage.

[@Madonsteamrailways]

Lovely to see Westerns on a very attractive layout!!

[@alanmusicman3385]

Attended this show with my son. Some wonderful layouts and a real joy to me to see a layout featuring models of one metre gauge Swiss railways - I didn't know that RTR models of those were even available, but now I do! I loved the big peak district layout and the narrow gauge layouts - the cityscape layout (with underground trains beneath) was superb - but there was so much good stuff to see at this show! Excellent to see that the layout selections covered a wide range of eras and locations - not all steam era like some shows - and even some bang up to date trains running on some layouts. A wonderful show. WIll look out for the 2024 instance of it.

[@roselinerussell4928]

Wonderful, just wonderful..!

[@SDJR7F88]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@bikerides]

[@davidhewson8605]

[@trainmanbob]

Thanks Callum for sharing this show. Lovely filming and some very nice layouts. Cheers, Bob

[@SDJR7F88]

Cheers Bob. Glad you enjoyed the coverage. Sadly, didn't get around to featuring all, as it was such a large show!

[@michaelchester8997]

Excellent video and some wonderful modelling

[@SDJR7F88]

Many thanks! Really was a superb show

[@paulharrington1140]

Hi Callum, i spotted you doing some filming, regards Paul

[@SDJR7F88]

Hi Paul. Got spotted by a few people on the day. Really was great to get to meet so many people at the event

[@tonywise198]

Aweaome vidoe. Thank you..

[@SDJR7F88]

Cheers!

[@Madonsteamrailways]

The layout with the Warship Class and Western Class diesel locomotives sounds absolutely fabulous!!

[@WilliamHBaird-eq2hp]

Nice to see that many modelers are using Kay-Dee Magne-Matic US Couplers now on their switching layouts... It adds to the enjoyment 10 fold.

[@SDJR7F88]

Agreed! Need to upgrade myself

[@goodyflyer1]

Excellent filming of this exhibition .

[@SDJR7F88]

Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed the show. Really was an excellent event

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

nice vid thanks lee

[@SDJR7F88]

Cheers!

[@ajman3198]

I love these two engines, it resembles Duck and Oliver and the breakvan too, it resembles like Toad. 23:08

[@Madonsteamrailways]

Lovely layout in the snow scene. I think I recognise it as a part of the Settle to Carlisle Railway!!

[@jasonmartin5430]

Its based on Dartmoor, in Devon...

[@user-gk8gg1zt7l]

!!! Nice video, likes from me !!!

[@SDJR7F88]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@stephenpike3147]

A really nice selection of really high quality modelling and a diverse set of countries too. It’s great to see such variety. Your filming and content was excellent, a pleasure to watch. Thanks to you all, much appreciated as don’t get shows quite like this. Stephen (Canada)

[@SDJR7F88]

Many thanks for the kind words Stephen and glad you enjoyed the modelling on display. Really was a superb event, sadly I just could get around it all.

[@TheJpec361]

Always a treat seeing your videos of the exhibitions. I especially enjoy the detail and the craftsmanship that goes into each one. I really wish we had exhibitions like that here in the States. Much more entertaining than the gigantic modular layouts that don't half run properly. I was hoping to see an Alan Partridge billboard in Norwich. Thank you for sharing.

[@SDJR7F88]

Thank you very much! Really was some superb modelling on display. Ha! Would of been a bit different to of seen that - wonder if he's been going that long.

[@Madonsteamrailways]

I presume I’m watching the Lynton to Barnstaple Railway with the narrow gauge and the nice steam locomotives!!

[@N_scale]

I want one of these for Los Angeles area. But it’s Made by athearn for intermountain based On box size and packaging so scared About Pulling Power. Can’t wait for the 4-6-6-4 from Broadway next Summer make sure you also ask them to make NP! They omitted it on first Release but I’m sure They will add it

[@js3dprinting795]

it would be nice if you added more content for the ho or oo scale i know you prefer n gauge but for us oo/ho we need more

[@SDJR7F88]

Think you might be mistaken. Have a look at my other videos at what I mainly feature

[@David-ci1vn]

I can smell the flag emenating from the Western in that opening shot, very nice.

[@SDJR7F88]

Oh yes! Certainly the only thing missing.

[@Madonsteamrailways]

Is Dagwell End a display from Underground Ernie?!!

[@Jimyjames73]

A very good selection of Layouts. @ 22:00 look very similar to the Layout which was on the front cover of the Jan 2022 (No. 855) edition of the RM Mag but I don't think it is??? Oh May be it is - Moors View - looks slightly different to the photo on the front cover - may be they have changed it a bit??? 🤔🚂🚂🚂

[@SDJR7F88]

Cheers! Yep, that's Moors View. Always a pleasure to see

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

Well done to the operators of Bere Banks. Nice to see trains run at speeds that reflect real life...

[@macnavi]

You really know how to record from great angles. Keep up the good work!

[@SDJR7F88]

Cheers! Always try my best when filming these sort of shows. Certainly takes a bit of time but hopefully we'll worth it!

[@Madonsteamrailways]

Lovely little narrow gauge layout. I assume it’s based on something like the original Ffestiniog or is it a quarry in England?

[@richardbradley2335]

6:13 Still going !!!!

[@Madonsteamrailways]

Upburton? Is that not a fictitious suburb of the great brewing town of Burton-on-Trent?

[@UncleB1735]

Great video. You’ve captured details in your video that I didn’t notice at the exhibition 😊 What video camera do you use?

[@SDJR7F88]

Many thanks indeed and glad you enjoyed the coverage! I use a Panasonic HC-V260 camcorder for my exhibition videos, as I find it focuses better than my newer much larger camcorder, which I use for my railway trips. Hope it's of help

[@UncleB1735]

@@SDJR7F88 Thanks for the information Callum, much appreciated. 😀

[@Madonsteamrailways]

The layout with two Gronks or more, is it 0 or 00?

[@Madonsteamrailways]

Nice to see a Welsh representation in 00 rather than 009!!

[@Madonsteamrailways]

I can’t see myself standing above a fully diesel railway to watch trains running into the sheds!!

[@emeraldmosley8938]

"Promo SM" 😠

[@franktuckwell196]

Spoiled again, very first loco in shot, ghost train, completely empty cab, spoiled the ship for a ha'penny of tar as the saying goes. Is it worth watchin any further??

[@SDJR7F88]

Na, I wouldn't if your that pedantic 👍
