Terrific layout, thanks for sharing! And I agree the hobby isn't dying...I'm just getting started...and no I haven't even retired yet👍 😅😅

[@Mossendrailway00]

Nice to be young and all the best to you happy modeling.

Colin, much activity there with some excellent weathering - Well Done! 👍 So nice to see passengers on platforms and trackside staff along with much other 'small' detail so often neglected by modellers - regards Colin. 🙂

[@Mossendrailway00]

I think its pointless having a empty station with no awaiting passengers. I totally agree with you. All the best- Colin :)

Nice to see some Hymeks & the 37 in action. You managed to capture some excellent running shots.

[@Mossendrailway00]

I do like Hymeks and westerns. Thanks for the comment.

Finally, I managed to get round to watching this with my grandson. It's an enjoyable video. You've created some nice scenes, and the engine hoist looks great. You talk about the state of the hobby, and I agree with you. If you haven't seen the Railway Modellers Club AAP, take a look at it, it's free and run by Scale Model Scenery and is a great community. There's some great modelling to be seen on there. Im sure the guy's and girls on there would love to see your layout. I'm on there and if you decide to join let me know and I'll follow you on......cheers James 🙂👍

[@Mossendrailway00]

Thank you for your comment James. I've looked into the railway club and I am unable to find any information regarding it. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. All the best- Colin

[@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY]

Hi Colin, There should be some link to it on the Scale Model Scenery website homepage...cheers James 🙂👍

I really enjoyed the green diesels, nice views around the layout 👍

[@Mossendrailway00]

Thank you for your comment. I like the green but BR blue is my favourite. All the best- Colin :)

[@philipbryant6275]

I totally agree with you on all your statements matey and your layout sure does look epic..

[@Mossendrailway00]

Thanks for the comment. There is still alot to be done.

[@stephendavies6949]

As you say, the hobby isn't dying, it's changing. Sure, traditional clubs are in decline (but far from dead), but "virtual" clubs are thriving: just look at the viewing figures for channels such as Sam's Trains, Jenny Kirk & Chadwick. There is more choice than ever before in both the new & used markets, and the sharing of knowledge is unprecedented.

[@Mossendrailway00]

We think alike and I totally agree with that statement.

[@AndrewCooper-eo7oh]

I love. Your layout it my. Tipe of thing

[@Mossendrailway00]

Thank you for your really lovely comment. All the best- col
