Not so sure about that. Steve was taking quite a few shots during the filming but I think most of the layout shots will be of Season 1. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold JohnR Posted September 8, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 8, 2019 Originally it was said that the shows would be an hour and a quarter long - that seems to have changed. Are there plans for extra footage to be shown? In the manner of "Bake Off: Extra Slice" or similar? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Channel 5 repeat the programme? If so may I please have details? It will be available on Channel 5s 'catch up' service (https://www.my5.tv/) a few hours after broadcast. If you have a smart telly or other internet connected viewing device you can stream it online at a time that suits you. (A better option is to record it on a PVR then play it back later as you can skip the adds) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
whart57 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I contacted the producers about the run time and they say they have delivered 75 minute episodes to Channel 5. Probably worth checking the schedules again later in the week 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had the advantage that they showed few adverts. I think there were 3 ad breaks during the program and there were less ad's during each break with only one during the last break. It meant I finished watching the final program on catchup 5 minutes before the live program finished! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocoLadies CF Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Unexpected but the LocoLadies are going to be interviewed by a national newspaper tomorrow with a photographer coming to photograph my layout. It was built for my grandchildren so one of them came over to help get it ready. More info later. 7 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

noiseboy72 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 So has anyone else read the magazine they brought out? Not a lot in it for seasoned modellers except the "form list" for the competitors, but looks good for those wanting to make a start in the hobby. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocoLadies CF Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Tomorrow the LocoLadies and the Railway Men of Kent who took part in Heat 3 of the GMRC will feature in a national newspaper. It is a positive in that it has the potential for widening the audience for the show.... just not a paper we would normally read. It is The Daily Star. Organised through Channel 5. Never expected when I started my layout in 2017 with my grandchildren to have a tv crew and a professional newspaper photographer come and photograph it. 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Phil Parker Posted September 12, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted September 12, 2019 I've just been watching the filmed inserts for the series which we shot at the Leamington & Warwick MRS a few months ago. Some really interesting video with the background replaced by skies in the same way we do in magazines, plus simulated smoke. The shots, mostly taken on a GoPro hanging on the end of a boom are very impressive. Plenty of spotting fun for anyone who knows Kimble, Duxbury and Clarendon. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyram Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Disappointed with the new Peco special publication. They managed to mix up the two Andy’s on our team.

LocoLadies CF Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 National newspaper centre spread with the Railmen of Kent, also in Heat 3 on the GMRC alongside the LocoLadies. It was, however in the Daily Star - not a newspaper we would have expected to see model railways in. They did a good write up though and hopefully more people will watch the show as a result! (Channel 5 asked us all to do the article). The dinosaur was put there by my grandson so we decided to keep it there. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
