Still one of the most realistic British model railway layouts: Knaresborough - The Worlds End

[@andrewblades8368]

To all the people commenting that this model is missing litter, graffiti, homeless people, etc - this is a model of Knaresborough, it’s a beautiful, well cared for little town which attracts lots of tourists. It doesn’t look like a busy city centre or some run down industrial area and really does look like this. A superb model

[@oddities-whatnot]

Correct that about Knaresborough. A pretty town, some great pubs.

[@duckman5642]

👌👍

[@christinecrockford1654]

Looks more in the country than a city and we don't have graffiti and peeps on the streets. I think who ever made this is truly amazing wow. I'm not into trains, but love the fairy miniture world idea and think this truly beautiful ❤️

[@StevenSmall-j5f]

It’s a fantastic layout , one of the best I’ve probably seen , one question however, how do you know there are no homeless in knaresborough, and surely as beautiful as town as it is , there must be a bit of litter somewhere

[@JP_TaVeryMuch]

Stuff the lack of people, homeless or not: Lack of litter be damned! Where's the weather?

[@morgandog9]

I often wonder, when does a model railway becomes more a model village that happens to have a railway. Awesome modelling all round though.

[@paulbellot5225]

WOW, love your intelligent answer to that Sir and agree and the details? Amazing 🇬🇧🇨🇩

[@kjamison5951]

This is stunning. The attention to detail and the architecture is simply mesmerising. Wonderful!

[@vodaploda]

The architectural detail is stunning. Bravo.

[@NwaHp3]

My mind is BLOWN! seriously wonderful! the little light flashing on the last cart..the art shop with all the pictures inside..The sounds of the metal tracks and air brakes! phenominal! I could mess about with this for hours on end. very very well done!

[@ravenclaw8975]

This is the most beautiful model railway I have ever seen. The detail is incredible! It reminds me of the England I left 44 years ago.

[@xaiano794]

Very impressive - I am a train driver that drives through there regularly and I have never seen such an accurate model - extremely impressive, very good work!

[@pilentum]

Thanks for watching!

[@raybede]

Pete Goss should be justifiably proud of this work. The detail is fantastic and the skill needed to achieve that detail, greater still.

[@modeloco]

Expertise shown here is phenomenal and yes, Knaresborough is a really beautiful place ❤

[@davidnuttall7597]

Absolutely brilliant , such detail and fine workmanship.

[@bobbysands6923]

I have been dreaming of a layout since I abandoned mine at ag 13. Now at 66, I am finally building a new one. After researching, IMO, nothing compares to the British stuff. It is all gorgeous and makes me wish I lived there.

[@amteo7107]

Trains going over the river nidd just before knaresbro station. My childhood memories.in the summer months there are boat rides below the railway bridge and people flock to visit mother shiptons caves on the harrogate side of the river. I originate not far from here . The town is beautiful and well worth a visit. This model version is so nice to watch and its clear to see that a lot of thought has gone into making this. Thankyou for sharing.regards from The Netherlands

[@mragrayson]

As a resident of Knaresborough I can say that this is awesome and incredibly accurate.

[@robertherrick8660]

Th most unbelievable attention to detail I seen in years. Well done!!

[@Ralph2]

I've been subscribed long enough to know you never clickbait us! :D The modelling of the buildings is astonishing, and the end result is quite beautiful. Thank you for your work on the sound too!

[@LauchlanMac]

Brilliant, and I’m not even a train buff. I do appreciate the work and dedication that has gone into this. Well done 👍

[@pilentum]

Thanks!

[@scooboy]

My god , the attention to detail is absolutely phenomenal. What an amazing job and can't imagine the hours put into this.

[@MrJeffhamilton48]

The attention to detail is simply incredible, well done Mr. Goss !

[@colinsewell7383]

Those buildings are superb. Who ever built those is a craftsman. Lovely modelling throughout. 👏👏👏

[@lukeshrubsole6087]

Incredible level of detail, absolutely stunning.

[@andymacc]

We all could learn so much from this modeller. Know Knaresborough well and have watched this several times. Absolutely Top class

[@slicksix8892]

The streets look nice and clean, its the only give away.

[@Peter-tg1kk]

Trains running on time is another

[@alanrmurphy]

This is absolutely astounding! Incredible level of detail, even the bricked up windows at 4:27, reminiscent of the time of the Windows Tax!

[@andystocks3252]

Stunning. I know Knaresborough moderately well. I visit quite often. My cousin used to own one of the cafés on Waterside. Your attention to detail; the little human interactions; the gardens and vegetation are all amazing. On top of that, the cinematography tgat shows it all off is a delight. Congratulations.

[@olafknappe231263]

This is for sure one of the most beautifull layouts, i have ever seen. Greetings from Germany. Stunning!

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

Oh I just love these sets. The care and attention to detail just amazes me. Little ideal worlds. Perfection. A break from life’s too often sad realities.🙏👍

[@Bobrogers99]

I think I know which house I want to move into. Oh, wait........ The detail is so realistic!

[@MrSteamDragon]

Brilliant. The sounds effects add another level of realism. Also a lot of hidden snippets of detail if you look properly. Very well done indeed.

[@4june9140]

Lived there for 20 years and used that train to go to work in Harrogate for the first year. The detail is spot on........ With a bit of Poetic licence here and there. :-)

[@jimtrack3786]

How could this ever be improved upon? Masterful work!

[@johnmacaroni105]

Enlarge it by knocking through a side wall into the next room, then create the countryside that surrounds Knaresborough.

[@Ketumak]

I live in the Knaresborough area and can confirm: this is a very realistic layout! Most impressive!

[@gioen59]

I'm really impressed! Overwhelmed! This is not something about ONLY trains. It's A LOT of clever hard work. So beautifully made. There's a lot of heart in it. I enjoyed the visit fully. Thanks

[@musoseven8218]

I always thought this stretch of line would make the perfect model railway. I'm so pleased to have stumbled across this wonderful model✌️😊💜👍

[@nickname1812]

It's the crispness of the model making - so many small scale layouts have poor junctions and joints if you look carefully but this is skilfully done. Stunning.

[@roberthunt1540]

This is a labour of love. I think I would like to live in this little world: the one we're stuck with right now is not quite so pleasant.

[@davidhobbs8623]

How the hell has this clip had 166 dislikes?? It's fantastic. So realistic and detail is fantastic!

[@kianhitchings9996]

Only had one in 17 hours!

[@watmoughjohn]

I live in Knaresborough. This model is perfect. Stunning

[@Weesel71]

I don't get it, why thumbs down??? I spent time in and around Knaresborough 40+ years back and it is perfectly recognizable to me.

[@marcomarco460]

This is beyond beauty; this is glorious, this is epic.

[@hanachelache66]

We showed this video to our train obsessed toddler, and she was fascinated! Thank you for creating such a lovely video. ❤

[@charliesierra6919]

Fantastic! Love how they worked the battle re-enactment complete with spectators in!

[@JBX07]

Someone put a lot of love into this and it shows

[@lissanne9769]

This video was so good that I would love to live here. Great design and detail. Enjoyed watching every minute of this one.

[@johnmudd6453]

In all the model train videos I have watched ,this is the first where several comments have asked why no litter ? The layout is superb ,just enjoy it

[@darren25061965]

Maybe because there is very little, if any litter, in this popular well cared for Yorkshire market town.

[@bessiebraveheart]

As an old railway modeller, this model is amazing. It's a joy to see. Thank you.

[@finneysimon]

I have walked around those street in real life, and this model really does them justice. Excellent crafting.

[@qwertyrobbo101]

I might be a little biased as Knaresborough is my home town, but i think this is one of the finest layouts i've seen

[@nexuxd21]

Being someone that lives about 5 minutes away and been to knaresborough countless times this is a very accurate and impressive model

[@tommoss2005]

Incredible detail. A lot of work went into that, clearly.

[@steeveedee4307]

I used to live not far from here and was blown away when I first saw this model at an exhibition. The detail and accuracy are the best I have ever seen!

[@justinmccowan2543]

Well done with the town scenes, the windows and details are incredible!

[@trueleyes]

What a display of Beauty, craftsmanship, authenticity, charm, planning, and a ton of patience. This is really impressive in all respects listed. BRAVO to all

[@davidcharlesiannotti3800]

Wait.....what.....that wasn't real? Amazing attention to detail in every way. One of the best model railroads I have ever seen. Outstanding job Pilentum TV.

[@karlbauer9734]

Wunderbare Anlage, sehr schönes Video. So etwas macht Freude.

[@beatlebrad5339]

WOW was this Incredible and I did love your sound effects too well done on this video :)!!!! Take care:).

Thank you!

A feast for our eyes, wonderful details and a great video!

Why did I not know of this channel before? This is beautiful!! Keep up the amazing work

[@marcstuart5832]

Wow! Incredible detail.Very true to life layout I've ever seen. I give it a A+. Thanks for sharing this with us.😄👍

[@shakeyhandsshedmodelrailwa2494]

99% research and planning 1% modelling and it shows , stunning

[@tripodcatz5532]

The people of the village gradually became suspicious of their circumstance when a young bloke from one of the local families attempted to go swimming in the river, only to find, to his utter confusion, that all the water was solid resin. To the townspeople's horror, they finally realized the explanation for why the train never really went anywhere and always carried them back to the same place.

[@andypandytangerine3044]

Just a bit like the “Truman Show” 😁

[@joblo497]

That old lady writing "HELP" on the kitchen window ..sad

[@gioen59]

You must be a poet to "paint" those words. ThumbUPPP

[@JW-gd5rh]

Groundhog day, plus its freezing in winter so the water was iced over.

[@PapiCthulu2]

Cue "Twilight Zone" music

[@michime79]

Why is there never a shot of the complete layout? As much as i like the details and realistic angles, as much i want to see the complete layout.

[@Bobrogers99]

I agree. I would love to see a shot of the complete layout!

[@gustiolodeh]

I love this video, everything looks real. Wrapped in a realistic sound with its High resolution feature, along with the backsong music that makes nostalgia very felt

[@oddities-whatnot]

Its a lovely town, and this model is absolutely stunning with all the details. Some good pubs there.

[@enfield7123]

Absolutely brilliant love all the work that's gone into making this model railway Reminds me of my dad when I was a child he took over the middle bedroom in the house and filled it with N gauge model trains This is a brilliant video 👍🇬🇧

[@Dapuddykat]

Wow and I'm certain you were excited at the opportunity to play with all the trains. Lucky you.

[@trainguy1017]

Magnificent layout!! Well done!!

[@rustinpieces]

If only the real world was just as peaceful, gentle and civilised. Amazing layout of course, a lot of love went into this - but some seriously impressive rolling stock as well!

[@clivel5815]

Thanks for eight minutes and fifty seven seconds of serenity!

[@hennyverheij5969]

This is amazing! All those details and even the sounds are great!

[@cfosteritrackitrack861]

This is on a whole different level. Superb

[@arrienl6372]

This was a great experience to watch. You put so much work into this, my respect :). I also liked the sounds like the trains and the blackbirds in the background, as if you're really outside. Very well done. Loved it.

[@tashunkawitko5984]

The looks and even more the sounds are so amazing realistic - breathtaking!

[@fiouable]

Some people are so talented. It blows you away.

[@DocFate68]

It's really beautiful i can't imagine the hardwork someone put to achieve this wow truly amazing

[@stephenpike3147]

Stunning scratch building and the Sealed Knott enactment, well that is unique and really gone to town on it too. Looks like the railway plays second or third fiddle (got it no fiddle yard on this layout -its a loop) to the aforementioned! Yes been there boating and the missus used to ride her horse in those SK battles too. A very beautiful town and setting indeed, so life like, well done I am sure you have done Knaresborough proud and glad I stumbled on this! All the best Stephen

[@babanarr3311]

I live in Knaresborough and its really good to see this layout again. Very accurate and even the SK living history. I was in the knot for years and I think this is the first time they have been represented in model railway layout. Brilliant.

[@joycejames8461]

That is an incredible piece of work, I applaud the time and effort that must have gone into achieving that level of detail. Now I know what I should have been doing during lockdown rather than watching KZbin.

[@russellp4427]

Very impressive - I had no idea this existed - and I live just a couple of miles from Knaresborough!

[@paulhart2065]

I could watch this all day. As for the sound.... fantastic ! Can I book a holiday here ?

[@p.dejong4160]

Yess u can😜😜😜

[@JW-gd5rh]

Maybe when lockdown is finished after covid. Plenty of B&B's or campsites even nearby.

[@iankirk4660]

What a truly amazing layout. Well done 👍

[@peteruk2]

So good I had to watch it twice. Breathtaking modelling.

[@StevePenney34]

Thank you for this video, and thank you for holding the shots longer than 2 seconds ! Well done.

[@DavidFraser007]

It's really well done and the buildings are amazing.

[@ConProductions]

This is amazing, the sheer amount of detail in this is crazy!

[@stevenhodgkinson7462]

The detail is truly stunning "what a layout, I think I need to start building, thanks for sharing such a wonderful video.

[@applejuice5272]

I grew in Harrogate and regularly popped to Knaresborough - this is perfect! Saw this in person a model railway exhibition a few years ago! Amazing!

[@maccate6868]

For anyone who has never been to Knaresborough, this is what it looks like. Amazingly accurate.

[@bkarosi]

Unbelievably beautiful

[@Dazkinnersley]

Absolutely beautiful layout, incredible modelling.

[@lindagreenwood1129]

I love the reenactment at the castle. Very good video and layout

[@doltonmurray1625]

The title for this video is bang on! Loved hearing the birds in the background too.

Amazing, how detailed it all is.

[@jorgesabater8640]

Beautiful architecture!

[@patsquires3654]

i am just about to build my first layout, i have high hopes for model excellence, but this model railway is a absolute masterpiece it is superp, something for us all to aim for

[@carnivorousvegan69]

Same I'm starting to build an n guage layout

[@ChrizRockster]

From this I've learnt that what makes a great model scene / diorama - is... 1.) Lots of different gradients / levels rather than large flat areas including large and subtle ones. 2.) A finish that leaves no gaps or questions as to what its trying to show. 3.) Scratch-built elements offer a unique touch. 4.) Small elements that are cohesive, the entire model is a snapshot of a moment in time. For example the Civil War Battle Re-enactment and then the Banner near the Pub advertising it. 5.) Having a God skill level such as the level that Pete Goss shows here!

[@kennethsrensen7706]

Totally agree on that . I would further like to add 6.) remember to add dirt to the scene , like a crushed cola can and waste paper on street and garbage that didnt make it to the bin and such. I have seen many very realistically cool and nice models but the last detail they lack . No city and place is without humans garbage and no backyard is nice clean , there is always some who doesnt care and trash is piling up ... ( some of the areas look ' too clean ' despite the gradients and detail was so great )

[@steeveedee8478]

Loved this layout when I saw it at exhibition. Looks exactly like Knaresborough. Beautiful work.

[@rudiloof7064]

Wow! Really impressive. So much details! Lots of inspiration. And really vood camera work too. Thanks for sharing!
