'My Tinplate Railway' is my 0 Gauge three rail tinplate and die-cast toy railway. Also featured are Hornby Railways Collectors Association events, Train Collectors events, and Gauge 1 Live Steam club days and events.
What a feast of railway modelling showcasing the development of models, guages, and manufacturers. I enjoyed viewing this survey. Thank you for sharing!👍
Very nice Ian. You have captured the day very well and wasn't it great to see so many different railway modelling interests come together under one roof?
Guage 1 is good but trying to make one is a massive massive up hill struggle trying to make parts so small you need a magnifying glass to work under a big thorn
That 'Apple' green A4 is so perfect. I have two of them in 'Garter' blue and wish I'd have bought one in 'Apple' green. I'm looking forward to seeing the P2 in 'Apple' green next year! Thank you for the wonderful video's.
That you Philippe. It's 'Maldon Track', which I slightly regret using as it has to be screwed down - unlike old Hornby three rail which you can easily take up and rearrange.
@@mytinplaterailway thank you. Personnally I use Lionel modern track with plastic bed, which I bought in England as it is not imported in France. I also have an oval of JEP track with black plastic sleepers, which is an excellent track made in the '70s. But expensive nowadays on the second hand market. In my collection I have a few ACE and Basset Lowke ( reissued by Corgi) which are excellent quality models.
Sadly mine is now dismantled as I need the room. I'll likely see the Maldon Track and just get some Hornby track at some point. I very much enjoy your films.@@philippedanjou5390
Awesome running session! Gauge 1 live steam. Don't you just love those German (or was it Swiss?) locos with the red framing and wheels. Tremendous accurate looking details. What is it about the Continentals and model railwaying that leaves us trailing behind...whatever the gauge? Thank you for posting! 🤔
Well ... the strange thing is there were about twenty Swiss people, and all but four - as illustrated by their loco's - had British ones. Spam cans, an LMS 'turbomotive', various BR steamers, etc. I only filmed the Swiss/German ones for the novelty. Our Loco's are very popular abroad, partly because of the colours. Theirs are all black it seems. My favourite was the last one I filmed, towing a continental coal train. Thanks - as ever - for watching and commenting.
Hi, I'm In Sydney, just picked up a nmint o gauge clockwork set from England, last few week, and a another set , but later in age and size, still clockwork o gauge, but after 1954, they made 4 smaller sets, Green or red train with smaller key , basic detail And filled in windows , not like earlier models, but it sure fits around the track no issues 🤷🏻♂️😉
Simply stunning! Words cannot adequately describe the wonder of model railways built and engineered to such perfection utilizing prototypical power generation. At this level, it's got it all. Fine representation of the old and the new, and that's just the public who were there! Love that Caledonian Cardean Thank you for posting.
Even better 'live'. if you go to our site - angliaG1.com - there is a link to the gauge 1 people who have an events page. Might be something on in your area?
Interesting to see someone doing the same thing as me, my layout is also a mixture of Maldon and tubular track, although I use Lionel tubular and not Hornby, you use a nice mix of Ace trains and vintage stuff, enjoyable film, thank you for sharing.
Hello, I just looked to see if you have any films. I slightly regret the Maldon track, simply because it has to be fixed down, so no fun chasing it about. The old Hornby track is just for 'parking'. Thank you for getting in touch.
@@mytinplaterailway I don’t post on RU-vid merely watch, to many people willing to be unpleasant, I have the one circuit of Maldon because I can run some locos that I own that won’t run on tubular track. I enjoy your videos as they help inspire me as my layout develops
What a superb collection of models. I particularly enjoyed the sessions with he '8F', 'Castle' and the 'Bulleid'. I take my hat off to all those dedicated folk who make these little engineering masterpieces and then mount the public exhibitions for all of us to enjoy. Thank you for posting! 👍
These British toy train videos are a joy to behold, coupled with soft piano music of course! Bassett-Lowke certainly were an outstanding model railway supplier. To say nothing about the live steam and miniature railway equipment they built.
Sheer delight. A journey back to a time now becoming a distant memory. I enjoy your videos more than any others that regularly appear on this platform. I have to admit that I am not familiar with many of the names listed in the description except the 'big' ones, much to my chagrin. By the way...what was the music, Haydn, Clementi? I find that it is only my trains and classical music that keep me from going completely mad at the stupidity and insanity that currently surrounds us.
Hello, you are always very kind. Looking forward to seeing your latest film later this evening. I am a bit of a novice with the classic O gauge - and even more so the gauge 1. Many of these models are very rare, the O gauge BL Castle that's included is one of only two made. The music is free to use form the RU-vid music library and should come up on the info bit - might not have been picked up by RU-vid yet. It's by Joel Cummins, 'Sonatina No2 in F Major Allegro'. I think it's intended to sound like a famous composer. At these public events I think it's essential to add some music simply to hide peoples conversations. Largely for their privacy. Thank you again. Surprising how few people film these old tinplate events. And yes, I have stopped watching ( or listening to ) the news - I haven't turned the TV on since last July ...
@@mytinplaterailway You're welcome. Thanks for the update on the models and the music. I knew it wasn't Mozart so I guessed at Haydn/Clementi but I had the nagging thought there was a modernish feel to it. 👍.
@@mytinplaterailway Just a small correction, if I may. The 'Sonatina no 2 in F Major' is by Beethoven - the pianist is Joel Cummins. I remember playing this as a young boy in the very early 1960s, and hearing it again just now brought back several memories!! All good wishes, Peter A
Really great video! And what a lovely track, sometimes you need some to find such beautifull tracks. And the loc which we see at 3:14, that's a really nice one, specially the colour. From which brand is this coming from? Or did you made it by your own?
