Nice to see it up and running and those young and older enthusiastic happy people driving trains. Hopefully they are the future that keeps the hobby going. Thanks also to the youtubers who make these videos who let us see all these setups and what goes into making them.

Great to see the children been allowed to drive the trains instead of been told to keep well back. For this great hobby to survive we need more of these types of layouts.

We had a lovely time yesterday. A very nice warm welcome was had. Even got to drive a train.

10:52 Well done guys the layout looks even more stunning than it did before and is a credit to the vision and all of the hard work put in by the team! 😊 I would suggest a few bikes, laundry driers and outdoor pot plants on the flat balconies... 😅 😂 🤣

It's good to see so many people visiting and of all ages, also great to see the lady having a go as well

So nice to see “non enthusiast” adults as well as children driving trains. Unfortunately most of us don’t build our exhibition layouts to allow this. It surely must be a great way of promoting the hobby and generating more converts!

Come on guys, surely you could put a bit more effort into the bus station scene, some more relevant buses for example
