I wonder if anyone is going to bring out a 009 set to replicate the Volks Railway in Brighton. The moment this railway is replicated, the sooner I go into 009!!

Interesting idea. Never know

[@lucasquintanilla1673]

@@SDJR7F88 do you know of you or anyone else having been able to run models of BR A1 peppercorn tornado along side models representing the original class members shuch as north British Saint Mungo or WP Allen? while I am more of a fan of modeling American railways, I have always wanted to delve into European stuff at some point if I can ever start doing model, railroading, among the different locomotives from Great Britain, I would want to model are the A1 peppercorns the deltics and both the original and rebuilt versions of the LNER P2 such as model of an original class member in the rebuild form and a model of the new P2 being built named 2007 Prince of Wales. For the A1 peppercorn and the P2, I would want to run both models of original and new class member locomotives in model form, and considering the obvious contradictory nature of a explanation as to why a original locomotive would be running with a locomotive that was created for the sole reason that the originals weren’t around anymore I would have think of one heck of a explanation for that since I like think up stories for the setting of my layouts. Kind of reminds me of a quote from back to the future “marty what have you done! You’ve changed history! You’ve created a paradox!

Glad you enjoyed the show

Very Nice Filming and some excellent Scenics on show - My usual preference has so far been OO, but I’m finding that I seem to be increasingly intrigued by OO9. Lovely levels of detail. Many Thanks 🙏🏻

[@SDJR7F88]

Many thanks and glad you enjoyed the show. As demonstrated on the first layout featured both guage work hand in hand. Ideal for a standard and narrow gauge set-up.

Great video Callum - I completely missed this show as I was focussed on WSM on the Sunday - a shame as it looks excellent..

[@SDJR7F88]

Hi Chris. Always is a good little get together. Understandable with the WSM show, looked very, very busy that! Was hoping to pop along, but thing a lot happened over the course of the weekend which I had to process...

[@TrainsSleepRepeat]

Ace! Thanks for capturing my ‘Little Himalayan Railway’ so perfectly!

[@SDJR7F88]

No worries, thanks for doing the requested runs. Really is a stunning little layout

[@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY]

Another enjoyable video Callum, there's some really nice layouts there, I can't wait to see how my grandson gets on with his 009 layout 🙂👍

[@SDJR7F88]

Cheers! Really was a great little show.

[@WrenShedWorkshop]

Another brilliant video, Callum! It was lovely to have a chance to show you what I've been working on. I've had orders come in since the show, and some great feedback so far! I'm now working on my website...

[@SDJR7F88]

Cheers! Was good to see you again. That's good to hear, they looks and sound superb! All the best with the website.
