Warley Model Railway Exhibition 2022 Highlights

[@ericlackford6718]

For those of us too unwell to travel, thankyou. I used to love travelling down to the Exhibition. Excellent cutting and narrative.

[@WesternSignalman]

No problem Eric, I’m pleased to know you enjoyed the video

[@UA-51]

I’m glad someone mentioned Ffarquhar being at Warley, and filmed it.

[@WesternSignalman]

First layout I went to see when I got there, didn’t want to miss that opportunity. Great to see the real Thomas and friends

[@eliotreader8220]

@@WesternSignalman I would love have gone and seen it but I live in France

[@WesternSignalman]

@@eliotreader8220 well you can always see it at the Talyllyn railway museum if your ever in north wales.

[@briandunning2974]

Thank you so much for the index with timings. It helped enormously.

[@WesternSignalman]

No problem Brian I appreciate not everyone wants to see all the layouts

[@carolinecleaveley]

thanks for the detailed trip round each layout.

[@WesternSignalman]

No problem glad you liked

[@PaulSmith-pl7fo]

Fantastic video. I really commend you for adding the commentary on the layouts - well done.

[@WesternSignalman]

Thanks Paul glad you enjoyed the video and the commentary

[@robertbate5790]

Now that's new to me, audio commentary. Plain and simple with great views of the layouts. Brilliant 👍👍👍. New sub 😀😀

[@WesternSignalman]

Thanks for the sun Robert glad you enjoyed the video. 👍

My oldest granddaughter got me into Thomas and Sodor. The Class 66 is my favorite EMD. Your Class 37 is also easy for me to identify… wonderful model tour, WS. 😊

[@WesternSignalman]

37s are great, for me I prefer the 59 over the 66 just because it was one of the first models my dad got me.

[@myoldtractorshed]

Very nice, thank you

[@WesternSignalman]

Thank you for watching

[@jamfjord]

A really great, nicely filmed and well edited record of a few of the ridiculous number of layouts there were there - thank you! I'm gutted I missed some of these. Also, nice touch adding some commentary, sadly lacking from most of the exhibition videos on YT. Cheers

[@WesternSignalman]

I know you really need both days to get an appreciation of all the layouts and why I didn’t film everything (also I do it on my phone so probably would have killed it with all the footage 😆) I think there was one or two layouts I missed or just couldn’t get near they’d be about 3 people deep!

[@jamfjord]

@@WesternSignalman yeah, that goes for the traders too, couldn't get near some of them either! I was there both days and still missed stuff. Fun weekend though all the same 😊

[@Beatlefan67]

Your commentary is excellent and you have the right voice for it, although a little too quiet in places if I may say so. I've subscribed and I have to say your production is one of the best I've seen. Keep 'em coming!

[@WesternSignalman]

Thanks John I’d imagine the drop in volume is when I sit back from the microphone a little too far, it’s a little temperamental and I have to have it almost in my face to pick up right which makes viewing and talking slightly difficult at time 😆. Thank you for subscribing

[@3ddrawingformodelrailways]

Crowland Road is actually Farmers Drove by Stephen Farmer

[@WesternSignalman]

Thank you, my memory was playing tricks on me I was certain I’d seen it in the ‘B’ area on the map and I was searching the descriptions and just couldn’t find it. But I didn’t want to leave it out of the video as it was such a wonderful little layout so I thought better to get the name wrong than not to show some appreciation for it.

[@peterfinch5077]

Great video and its very much appreciated for your informed commentary

[@WesternSignalman]

Thank you, and it’s good to know people like the commentary 👍

[@Ensign_Redshirt]

It was great to chat to you yesterday, thank you for producing this video

[@WesternSignalman]

Really nice to put a face to the name, I enjoyed our chat 👍

[@commonsenseprevails]

Tan-y-llyn was spectacular as were most you showed. What annoys me most is the work that goes into building epic scenery and then they drive the loco at breakneck speed. Go figure :) Great video though. Subbed

[@WesternSignalman]

Thanks for the sub. Yes it was a beautiful layout and I loved the end to end wrapped around itself concept

[@mattkirk2482]

This is brilliant. The editing of the video is excellent. In terms of the layout, the weathering on 25296 I think was great . Personal favourite was st Ruth (Penzance) but the prenoniciaton of the German layout, top class. Impressive. Well done you

[@WesternSignalman]

Thanks Matt, although my brother has pointed out one of the areas of German I was describing in the narration i pronounced wrong. I really liked the lighting on ST.Ruth. I really like the one based on Ipswich docks but whenever I tried to film it nothing moved 😆

[@mattkirk2482]

@@WesternSignalman I should have been more accurate in saying the German pronunciation sounded excellent, but no idea whether it was right or not. Well done to your brother

[@Teesbrough]

Excellent video digest, thank you. Your layout commentaries are always on point. This video complements Sam’s Trains round-up of the manufacturers stands perfectly

[@WesternSignalman]

Thanks will, glad you enjoyed the video

[@UkuleleRocksYouTube]

Nicely put together, thank you. I was there and enjoyed the show but there were notable gaps in the exhibitors I thought?

[@WesternSignalman]

Thank you, yes I did feel there was a little less than usual but to be honest most shows have been like that post covid

[@AllensTrains]

Quite a selection of very large layouts. it looks like you had an enjoyable day! Thanks for uploading,

[@WesternSignalman]

Thanks for watching, yes there was some really big layouts a couple you couldn’t get near they where at least 3 people deep. The Kensington based layout for one.

[@andygebbie]

A great production. Having just covered last weeks Falkirk Show I know how much work you put in. Many thanks for turning the background audio down. I’m sure many other videos won’t be the same.

[@WesternSignalman]

No problem I’m glad you enjoyed I will have to seek out your video 👍

[@joshuaW5621]

Project Tiger Moth also premiered on Saturday, which was a fan project where Thomas fans make a Season 5-like episode.

[@WesternSignalman]

Really, sounds like an interesting project got to be better than the animated rubbish they have these days.

[@charlesachurch7265]

I would like to see an inner city route with witless graffiti, abandoned washing machines and supermarket trolleys in a stagnant canal.

[@WesternSignalman]

Much like the route between snow hill and Kidderminster, I couldn’t believe how much had been dumped when I did a cab ride on that route a few years ago.

[@richardc674]

You could try Everard Junction on KZbin. This tries to re-create the grimier side of inner city life. Lots of graffiti, but alas to supermarket trolleys in the grimy canal. It ode however have a canal side scrap yard with plenty of old washing machines.

[@shauntaylor9251]

Would be good if the scales where mentioned as well as the layout names

[@WesternSignalman]

Do you mean in the description at the bottom, I think I mentioned most layouts scale in the narration?
