First reaction, Wow!

 

Second reaction, when is is set and what figures have they used?

 

As I recall it's set c.1921 (so the Single and the Armstrong are about 20 years out of period and running with 1912 lake-livery coaches, but who cares?).

 

Figures, don't know, but might be HO ( as is the station building, I believe, not that it's obvious)

That looks very nice, are there some more pictures to come?

 

I would have spent quite a long time watching the entire sequence and photographing excessively, but I was rushed (by my standards) on this occasion as I was with elderly relatives.  I have a few more pictures from the Great Central of Rowington, which I shall dig out,

 

I have many more from a previous exhibition sighting, which I thought I'd posted those earlier in this topic, though it seems not.  I will have to try to find these. 

 

EDIT: Yes, I have a good many of the layout taken at STEAM, Swindon, in 2014.

 

Updates to follow!

We will be exhibiting Plumpton Green (LB & SCR c1910) at the Bluebell Railway show over this weekend.  I will be operating the layout on Sunday (in the carriage shed at Horsted Keynes) and will be operating the signal box at Kingscote all day on Saturday. Come and say hello if you visit the railway either day.

The unpronounceable Ynysybwl on the Taff Vale Railway!

 

The prototype - Link - and the Cardiff club's EM gauge model, set, I think, around 1920, seen at RailEx NE last weekend ...

It was in BRM many years ago.  The same issue as Richard Butler’s Westcliffe so is a real treat for the GWR fan and worth hunting out.

Thanks D, just found the issue (featuring both Rowington and Westcliffe) in the BRM digitial library. February 2010.

Some may question the Friesians!

Waste of time. Friesians know nothing of either Midland or NER locomotives. Now a nice brown and white Ayrshire, that's a knowledgeable cow. However they may be intimidated by the wig and gown.

Like the wagon being shunted by horse.  That sort of thing would be difficult to represent in a working model, of course.

in these days of robotics and 3D printing, what might be the smallest scale that some Nuremberg toymaking wizard could devise a plodding shunting horse?

Say 18 hands - that at 0 scale might be 42mm - too small to be plausibly animated?

 

Lovely pictures, I've heard of the Richmond museum

Looking again at Ynsbwl (innisbull ?) i was too taken by the gardens to think about that tall terrace. What do you think the internal plan/section might be? The offshot is two storey and ties in with that middle window on the main run of terrace - which at first I assumed was on a stair half landing.

But is it rather the floor at street level? So the doors out to the gardens are at basement level?

Here is an indication of the type of mechanism you would need. I couldn't say this walks exactly like a horse, but it exhibits the complexity that a walking horse would entail. The problem would seem to be that if you miniaturised the mechanism you would need to put a skin on it, and this would be very thin
