What a treat for model train watchers!! Thoroughly enjoyable and thanks Matt for sharing.

[@dustyshelfcollectables]

Many thanks!

Many thanks for a truly remarkable insight into the various model railway guages with something for everyone. Having modelled in 00 guage for years for the last eight I have renewed my love of 0 guage and I was particularly impressed with the Bassett Lowke 0 guage deltic diesel and coaches 😊😀

[@dustyshelfcollectables]

The Deltic was one of the stars of the show in my opinion, a very special engine! Anyway thankyou ever so much for watching and taking the time to comment.

Wow Matt. So many great items on display. I recently started a Tri-ang TT Type A track layout on my channel to go with my Tri-ang Series 3 layout and collection. The vintage trains really are great to work with. Thanks for sharing. Mon

I'll check it out, that sounds interesting, first time I really had looked at TT running, Id only seen the triang TT in the Hornby visitor museum.

​@@dustyshelfcollectables most of the videos on the channels are a progressive build type video Matt. As you know, early days of any layout building seems a bit lacking in detail. More interesting videos to follow with more track and then more engine arriving. Mon from Monsville Railways

Blimey Matt - you're certainly prepared to cover the miles for your hobby! Great video as usual; a real nostalgia fest, thanks a lot.

[@dustyshelfcollectables]

The show was recommended and well worth the trip!

A very enjoyable video Matt. You have certainly opened my eyes in the past few months of watching your videos as I had no idea that there was such a big interest in the vintage side of the hobby. Most train shows I have been to seem to concentrate on the newer train items with little interest given to vintage and maybe relegated to one layout in the hall! The trains you show are in beautiful condition and run very smoothly along the track which proves we do not have always to buy the modern stuff. I wonder if the modern stuff will be running in 60 years time. lol Your interests are very wide and I was wondering as an aside if you were into Mamod Steam which is another topic that fascinates me? Cheers Malcolm

[@dustyshelfcollectables]

Oh yes, my first mamod was at the age of 10 which I still have on display, the traction engine in my logo is a 1 inch Markie and I have also dabbled in larger scale live steam, but that for future videos (it didn't go very well, I am not a good driver!). This show was more than I hoped for, I thought I was alone in liking the older locos as most are relatively cheap, but the collectors society opened my eyes! Thanks again Matt

Hi Matt, nice to meet you on Saturday. Your camera is very good - great quality. Earlier in the day one of the Marx loco's caught fire ... the chap running it was nowhere to be seen, and we couldn't find the controller to switch it off for what seemed like ages. Quite a stench it made. I have just up-loaded my effort, and as it only covers the 0/G1/G2 tracks, I have put a link in the description to your film - I hope that is okay. Best wishes Ian

[@dustyshelfcollectables]

Hi Ian, likewise very nice to meet you and thank you for telling me the exhibition was happening and indeed the link in you description, I have got a slide at the end of the video suggesting viewers check out your page, but I will also add a link to the description. Anyway thanks again and also for sharing you knowledge on the day. Matt

[@michealmatthews9377]

well done you to supress the background noice from the other visitors and your camera work is great.

[@dustyshelfcollectables]

Thank you very much!

As usual some very good layouts 🎩🎩my fave always A4 Pacific ,this show looked quieter than the last one !

[@dustyshelfcollectables]

Yes it wasn't very busy, but a new venue for the event (so I was told ) so I guess it will grab some traction next year
