Moors View is a great scenic layout , the snow is just so well done

[@northwesttrainsmodels]

I had to go for that with number one as I thought it was amazing and the depth to the scenery aswell, it just shows that you don't need lots of sidings or lines just 2 tracks running through some fantastic scenery makes a layout, thanks for watching. Tom

Wonderful selection; superb modelling skills. Thanks for sharing.

[@northwesttrainsmodels]

Hi Tom. Hope you are well. Great choices for your top ten. It's a close one. But i think Ely wood has to be number 1 for me. I've enjoyed watching the videos of it this year.... not as much as watching the video's of your layout, of course 😅. All the best Steve

[@northwesttrainsmodels]

Hi Steve am doing good thanks, hope your doing good to, glad you like my choices, I was torn between Ely wood and moors view, I could have watched trains running on both for hours, and am sure you prefer my layout 😂

[@richardwright2743]

Personally, I prefer the diesel loco models. But that may be just my generation. 👍

[@northwesttrainsmodels]

I do like modern era with a mainline steam tour frown in 😂

Some great layouts. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Steve glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for watching. Tom

Thanks for sharing. Thank you also for including My layout "Micro Cement" that I operate with my son Euan. We are honoured to make your top ten. Andy.

[@northwesttrainsmodels]

Hi Andy it's a really nice little layout, I quite often find micro layouts more interesting especially when there abit different, glad you like my choices, thanks for watching. Tom

[@jimbob4472]

@@northwesttrainsmodels Thank you Tom. I'm a huge fan of micro layouts and run a FB page dedicated to them. For modellers with little space they are ideal and they can provide a bigger challenge to detail than a larger layouts. Have a great Christmas Tom. Andy.

Remarkable selection. It would be very difficult to do better. Keep the good work.

[@northwesttrainsmodels]

Layout #1, what is the story with the cut-down trees? And an Eddie Stupid driver up on the bridge!

[@northwesttrainsmodels]

i now my choices wont be everyones favourites, but i couldnt fault layout one i thought it was spectacular

[@Demun1649]

@@northwesttrainsmodels I did ask about all the trees that had been cut down, and what the scene represented.

[@northwesttrainsmodels]

@Demun1649 sorry dave must have misread the comment, I'll have a look see if I can find anymore info on the layout and let you now, I now they change the time periods on the layout and run steam one day and diesel on another day and change things over like the vehicles

[@Demun1649]

@@northwesttrainsmodels Would be delighted to hear as to why all the trees were cut down. I have a logging train, but the devastated area is not modelled.

[@johnmitchinson9577]

Realistic toy train sets.

[@northwesttrainsmodels]

Glad you like them, thanks for watching. Tom

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

Nice, but steam should always be no. 1 in everyone's book. Your railway is no. 1, because there are steam engines running along it. Nothing works better in the snow than a steam-hauled Santa Special train. In fact, I rather thought Bobby the real Black 5 ought to be top of the list. That's an idea. Show us your top 10 favourite real steam engines, if you can. Merry Christmas.

[@greatunwashed1856]

A tad authoritarian, l like many others prefer Diesel, and I’m 76.

[@Maelli535]

I just skimmed through, diesels and modern traction bore me.

[@northwesttrainsmodels]

ill see what i can do with the steam video, thanks for watching. Tom

[@northwesttrainsmodels]

i do like modern era myself, on my own layout its loosely set in present day with a heritage line so i can run pretty much anything, thanks for watching. Tom

[@northwesttrainsmodels]

like i said in the description i now my choices wont be everyones, i do like abit of everything, on my own layout i have modern era with steam specials and an upper level heritage line to run steam and old diesel on, thanks for watching. Tom
