A look at the ongoing development of Yeovil Central layout from 2020 to 2023, present day. Who knows what is going to happen over the next year!?

I love it as it looks grotty and realistic. I am returning to OO gauge after over a 30 year absence and find your layout somewhat of an inspiration. Our eras pretty much align too, I wish to model something in Wales between 1975 (TOPS) to 1990 (pre privatisation). I am blessed with an attic above my garage of some 8.6m x 5.4m with restricted headroom in some parts with frame work already made pre COVID. I remember travelling around Cardiff as a kid and the train at least for me was anything but pleasant. The old DMUs were dirty, smoky and drafty. We could not really afford to travel far by train and trips to Bristol Zoo etc were on National Express buses. The only two times I got to travel on the then new HSTs were on one of the British Rail Tours, Mystery Tours or Specials. I think they were only diagrammed to work weekdays then and were pretty much spare on the weekends. So I got to travel to both York and London (for the Ideal Home Exhibition). Though after saying all this I still love the BR blue period and your layout just brings all the memories flooding back to me. So thanks for sharing your layout with us all.

Thank you, Really interesting to hear your story. I model the period I experienced, the late 60s and early 70s and it was run down and grotty! keep me informed of your modelling progress.

Hi I really liked this before and after video. The layout has really come along very nicely. It's always a great watch to see this layout in action. Do you mind if I ask if this channel and the old Yeovil Central channel on here are done by the same person.......as I remember the original channel stopped creating content and only posting on Facebook a while back.............If it's still the same person it's great to see you back. I still subscribed anyway, just wanting to get the story right. All the best and many thanks Dave.

Thanks for the reply Mike. I wanted to ask as you hear too often of people having their content spammed by other people on here, which isn't right...................I just wanted to check............Nice to see you back here. How come you didn't continue with the old channel you had previously?
