CottesmoreRail Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Il start this by saying it’s obviously not my layout but I’m unable to find a topic setup for the layout itself, if there is one please provide the link and I will close this one. I saw the layout for the first time and it’s been a long time since a layout really “Inspired” me to do more on my own layout but it’s just amazing, a full credit to the operators. The bit that really made it special was the lunch time derailment scene that’s staged so the operators can get some lunch, it’s just beautiful and staged amazingly.

RMweb Premium rab Posted November 5, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 5, 2019 Brilliant! The only thing that wasn't prototypical was the quick response from the crane gang 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold jcarta Posted November 5, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 5, 2019 Impressive ...... It's different & by the amount of people stopping and watching the re-railing it kept them amused as it did me watching the video.. Well done Aperthorn Junction Jim 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

47606odin Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 What wasn’t staged was the snowplough launched over the buffers by an errant class 47. Luckily I stopped videoing seconds before it happened LOL 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently had a set of bufferstops crushed by a 60, needless to say, that never made my final edit either 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just a shame they can be expensive bloopers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearholmer Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Seriously impressive, all of it. It wasn't until the end that I realised I've seen this layout at, I think, Stoke Mandeville, several years ago. It was the first time I'd heard sound-equipped model locos where I could shut my eyes and recognise the loco class by the noise. I'm assuming that everything is deeply researched, so can I ask when breakdown cranes got those flashing lights along the sole bars? In the early 1980s, I used to work around a big breakdown-type crane during engineering possessions, and I'm 99% sure it didn't have them - they would have been very noticeable/irritating at night. Mind you, it was painted red, rather than yellow, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
