Magnorail - The making of the accident model

[@CycolacFan]

That’s really quite brilliant, I’d have been fascinated for hours by this as a child trying to understand how it worked.

[@scopex2749]

I am now a very old engineer and as a child I was fascinted by Victorian 'Automatons'. The detail they put in them was outstanding. Yours are the modern version of this OUTSTANDING. My late father built me the most detailed train layout on a big board using the old bakelite 'TTR' (Trix Twin Railway') three track railway. He included stationary cars and as i grew older I tried to devise a way to 'animate' my cars. The closest I got was scalaextric buried in the roads but it couldnt handle tight curves - this was back in the 1960's. Definitely had to subscribe!

[@remlya]

Extraordinary. In all the diorama videos I’ve watched on YT, this is the first to have a plot and moving parts that aren’t the usual train tracks. I’m stunned that they’re controlled by magnets. What an inspiration, a shame I don’t understand half of what you’re describing.

[@mattbrewster8051]

If you shot photos with sunlight you'd never know it was a miniature!!! SIMPLY GORGEOUS!!!

[@DudeTheNinja]

I really like how well-hidden the transitions between each 'scene' of the cyclist are implemented, using the bushes and the concealment of the original, "healthy" cyclist, with the falling-into-the-bush being a clever way to hide a tunnel. Nicely done! (Oh, and KZbin Recommended brought me to this video before the original. Thanks for that, Susan Wojcicki!)

[@naturalrhythms1935]

Fantastic! Beautifully done layout. Didn’t know they made miniature cycles! Tq 😃👍🏻

[@whitefordpipeshandmadebymi7238]

Awesome job Sir ! Wow so cool , I also love how you got everything to look wet ,like it's been raining or such , take care! Cheers from Welland Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[@candrewgreen]

Love it, very creative use of Magnorail, but, how can ANYONE dislike this?

[@craigkershaw8593]

Quite the death trap that village! Fantastic.

[@johnsminiatures8955]

Yes, the grave digger in the church yard is kept very busy!

[@callmestuartcosgrove]

Absolutely amazing detail and invention , John!!!

[@johnsminiatures8955]

To all my friends in the States .... In September I visited a fabulous model store in Rapid City, South Dakota, called the Hobby House. The guys there were so friendly and helpful. I wish we had great stores like this here in England!

Is this john wardely

[@towerstycoon]

@@memeparkworldwide8196yes, in his new book he has mentioned this channel in it

[@carlstrachy3540]

Absolutely Extraordinary. So much love for this exquisite model. Masterpiece

[@Rippafratta]

Pretty sure that you could do the complete animation with a single Arduino, but excellent build and storytelling! The ideas here are on par with the little gimmicks in Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg. Looking forward to more content on this channel.

[@cpinatel]

Fantastic, the idea is great, the implementation is extremely well done and the rendering exceptional !! As we say in French, " you have gold in your hands"....

[@astolatpere11]

Half expected the ambulance to hit the fella walking on the side of the road! Excellent fabrication. Thanks!

[@TunMaker]

you make it look so easy,, excellent job love the model and appreciate the work put behind all of it

[@barneslandingassoc642]

This was wonderful. Thank you for sharing this. You are a very talented guy.

[@ronnronn55]

Very nicely done and the detail video shots match the dialogue very well. Easy to follow and understand. Thanks, Ronn

[@jimstrainsandstuff9539]

Oh. And you did a superb job on the project. Well done!!

[@davidhughes4448]

Fantastic animated diorama, with beautiful modeling. If the magnet conveyor for the ambulance could be made to slow to a gradual stop at the accident scene (and then start up again with gaining momentum) its movement would be much more convincing. Likewise, the cyclist's speed could vary here and there for a more realistic presentation. As is it's a little toy-like. That said, mine isn't as nice as yours! All in all, great job. Thanks for posting.

[@ameliagoestotokyo5678]

Wow best thing i've ever saw made. Well done, thanks for sharing.

[@onkelmichl3300]

Beifall !!! Hervorragend. Danke fürs Zeigen.

[@KyleWalz]

Like the story of this piece. Cool use of the rail system.

[@hansfehlow9657]

Incredible job, well done! What a great idea for a little story to add to any scene. I am blown away. Happy Modelling! Hans ...

[@johnsminiatures8955]

Yes, I'm sure there are little dramas unfolding in everyone's models. Perhaps I might have given people some ideas.

[@southeasternfan9315]

It's interesting how everyone cycles/drives by the poor guy head first in the creek! He did not have NHS, I guess. Congratulations on a superbly built diorama.

At least they called for the emergency services.

[@whitestguyuknow]

Nice idea and work

[@steve87thpsap]

That was awesome. Nicely done. Fast response from the ambulance the biker must have had good insurance.

[@cefnonn]

I think the model is set in the UK where there is a National Health Service, no need for insurance, free healthcare for all. Yeah, great modelling!

[@madmiask]

Very good idea ; yoou took magnorail to the next level...

[@PatGilliland]

Great build.

[@marcc3514]

Those guys pruning the trees could have helped the guy. Brilliant stuff well done!

[@Madhuntr]

i could only think of one thing that would make this even better. Minions jumpping out of the ambulance and throwing him in there XD really nice project. i actually laughed at the start when i saw how he went flying. XD

[@ClassicGolfClubs]

Brilliant! So realistic, but let down by the prompt arrival of the ambulance. 😉

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

John Penny I was a paramedic in London for ten years. If we had any injured cyclists as patients, wherever possible, we would try to make room for their bicycles on the journey to hospital.

[@Beatlefan67]

@@heli-crewhgs5285 Well done you, that's definitely going beyond your duty. My family are eternally grateful for all you NHS people have done for us (myself, wife and elder daughter are cancer survivors, wife has had other awful problems including strokes) So a very big 'thankyou' for all you do.

[@ScratchGlass9]

"I don't like SPAM ! "

[@Scale-Model]

Great Idea, Great Video 👍🏻❤️

[@theantichrist6524]

Even if the diorama was totally static and wasn't mechanically driven it would still take top prize at a show I was really impressive but I would have opted for a hand cranked version due to the amount of electronic content needed to operate the 2 actions but again that would be my preferred option . It was a really nice build

[@johnsminiatures8955]

Thanks for your very kind comments. I’m going to auction the original model to help me pay for the next one, which is going to be expensive!

Nice project. You might consider a voice over along with the captions for explanation. It would a nice addition to the video.

johns miniatures I’d be happy to do it for you.

@@jimellis6290 Thanks for your offer Jim. I don't have a problem doing voiceovers (I have narrated the Audiobook version of my book "Creating my own Nemesis" which sells well on Amazon) but it is just a matter of finding the time! I am starting work on my latest model, which is taking priority. But again, thanks for your offer.

In answer to all the people who ask me where to buy the Magnorail system, it is available in France from Maketis, or in Australia from Magnorailoz

Amazing work. Another subscriber right here

Wow! İnsane! Respect for the time and effort!!!

[@Chris-sf5mc]

Wooooooooooow, looks sooo good. Is it H0?

[@johnsminiatures8955]

Yes, it’s HO which makes the cyclist smaller than your fingernail! It was very tricky to assemble.

[@Mechanicalrob]

I've got a OO layout but only the trains move and lighting works. I'd love the cars and traffic to move about too but unfortunately I'm not as skilled as this.

[@johnsminiatures8955]

It just takes patience and care.. Give it a try.

[@bonniejeancrivello6964]

Seriously brilliant!

[@Wolfyjinny]

That is beyond awesome, I do however have 1 prototypical point to make, the ambulance got there within seconds, can you put a 2-hour delay on it? lol.

[@johnsminiatures8955]

Yes, I can certainly put a 2 hour delay on the Arduino computer, no problem. It would certainly make the drama more true-to-life!

[@TheHoipoloi]

Superb layout and thanks for showing it. Just the one question: Why is the dying cyclist platform painted red? Is it meant to be blood?

[@johnwardley7747]

Yes. He lost a lot of blood in the accident. But you'll be pleased to know he made a full recovery, and can repeat the performance every 3 minutes.

They all seem a bit accident prone in that village looking at the car crashed into the stream as well. It really is a brilliant active landscape. I think we all want one if those cyclist! Well constructed good idea.
