Hi Jenny. First class coverage of some awesome layouts! It would have been interesting to see the relevant scales against each layout name. Keep up the good work!

Jenny great video I am sure as most of us did work out that some of the filming was done prior to the expo being open hence some layouts no movement 😊

All the layouts were brilliant!

Thanks for this Jenny. I have to admit that because of the train strikes, my enthusiasm to go was blunted. However, I reminded myself that this was an opportunity to go and see TT:120 rather than just watch the many reviews on here. I'm very interested in this scale as my first two attempts to get going again have resulted in builds that despite being modular, would have been just too big. Anyway, enough said. I went home after the drive from Oxford to the Pally none the wiser. Even if TT:120 was stocked in shops, that doesn't help me, there are none left in the City of Dreaming Spires. I guess I'm just going to have to buy some Peco track, get going and hoping that small tanks, diesels and DMUs come on stream, Pacifics don't float my boat so much. Loved your review of the HM7000 sound decoder and the app by the way. I really hope this system not just gets off the block but flies.

If the quality of the modelling is superlative and the landscape has been portrayed with a believable sense of aesthetics, as with many of those seen here, then whether there is constant movement of trains is of little importance to me.. This demand that there has to be a train running at every moment doesn't accord with the realism that we hope is being depicted. If the operator is able to pause and chat with the watching enthusiasts then that makes the occasion more special and valuable.

I am disappointed by this video. (I am not Getting at you Jenny.) The first half of the video was all about Static Layouts. It was not until the second half that I saw some movement, They were all very nice layouts, but I was more interested in the trade stands. Martin. (Thailand)
