Up close and personal with Dartmoor, one of the incredible model railways at Pendon Museum!

Recently I had the opportunity to do some filming at Pendon Museum who, for those that don't know, have been recreating the British countryside in miniature to an incredibly high standard for several decades now.
This particular model railway is their Dartmoor Scene based on a Great Western branch line and featuring a stunning recreation of Brunel's Timber Viaduct. Originally built in the 1950's, the model railway is still in good working order today with plenty of trains making their way around the layout for visitors Pendon Museum to enjoy.
Something it's hard to capture on film is the sheer scale of the model railways at Pendon Museum. The scenery is deep and expansive that trains really do weave their way through the landscape and disappear off into the distance without the need for scenic breaks or holes in the wall. If you ever get a chance to visit Pendon Museum, I highly recommend a visit!
** No sound on this video I'm afraid as there was a group of particularly noisy kids running around at the time. If you prefer to watch without music there is a mute button beside the play icon. Thanks for your understanding.**

Brings back memories of my visit back in 2010 there... Glad to see your video of it as now I won't be able to visit it as I'm stuck in a wheelchair... The other layout (Vale of White Horse) is the one that I most remember though as it's even bigger and the railway is even more lost in the landscape like in real life,and it also is filled with many wonderful stratchbuild buildings from the station area to the village with it's thatched roof houses and farms. It's this layout that made me switch from continental railways (Belgian mostly) to British railways in the 40's (and also in the 80's due to memories of my first trip by train to the UK in 1985 - first Dover to London Victoria then London Euston to Liverpool Lime Street with the IC125).

Sorry to hear you won't be able to visit anymore Eric but I'm glad you were able to relive some memories. I think it's safe to say there will be a video on The Vale scene along at some point too 😉 Thanks for watching 👍

Very relaxing and impeccably well filmed. Music fits smoothly over the top and you’ve done well to avoid as much reflection off the glass as you can. Cheers and keep up the great work - Alex.

Glad you enjoyed it Alex! The staff at the museum were very accommodating with switching off some of the lights to minimise reflections or opening up the glass screens when there wasn't much public around which I was very grateful for. They take a huge amount of pride in their work, rightfully so, and want it to be presented in the best way possible. Thanks for watching 😃

My first visit to Pendon was in 73, when it was still in a nissan hut. I had the pleasure of meeting Roye England on a number of occasions up to 81 when I moved away. I have returned on odd occasions since and the vale scene as absolutely epic. Also the Dawlish scene could be taken for a moving photo, stunning. Thanks for this fantastic filming. 👍👍👍👍

Nice video, it is difficult to capture the scale of the layouts on a screen. I went there in the same weekend as STEAM Swindon and Didcot Railway center. Its a great area for GWR nerds.
@ThatModelRailwayGuy
@ThatModelRailwayGuy Жыл бұрын
Yes, I'd definitely agree with you on the scale. You really do get a sense of trains getting smaller and disappearing off into the landscape rather than going behind a wall or back scene. I can't claim to be a GWR nerd myself but even I can appreciate the work that has gone into this! Thanks for watching 😃
