Barnabas Junction is a fictitious location named after the real St Barnabas district within Crewe in Cheshire, UK. Subscribe today to follow the progress of BARNABAS JUNCTION OO Gauge model railway. Along the way I hope to share layout progress updates, Loco & Rolling stock running sessions, How to..!!! videos and details on ideas that I come across throughout. This layout represents the UK railway era from the 1980's to present day. I hope you will enjoy your visit to BARNABAS JUNCTION.

Can someone please answer me a question that is bugging me. There was a guy that conducted guided tours in the 80,s who wore a long black coat who was known by Christian name what I have totally forgot. Help
Nice video, very nineties especially with the tunes. Lovely to see all the locos, pity the works appears to be a third of its size these days with most of the land becoming yet more housing and a mcdonalds. Pity I wasn't yet around to see the final days of BR and the start of the privatisation era. One thing I'd have loved to have seen is the merry go round trains that were so prevalent in the 80s and 90s.
Anyone who grew up in the 70's/80's will be very familiar with the scenes @ 14:00 on. British industry was decimated due to mis-management, asset stripping by greedy bast*rds in The City & political f*ckwittery. The Unions played their part too. On the other hand it was hard for earlier generations to get their head round the idea that Britain was no longer the center of an Empire & would have to compete on different terms. Still, it's sad to see our industrial heritage decimated, not to mention the impact it had on 1000's of families in towns all over the country.
I've got a question which I hope someone here might know the answer - Why do ALL those who work, drive, manufacture, assemble or repair these various types of trains, always refer to the 'engine / train' as a 'she' ? The Navy does likewise with all their warships and submarines too. I appreciate it's been a tradition for a long time BUT this does not actually address the question, why?
Well managed to the video, and not realised the train, treated, as a little more the objects, but I thing goes the when the train, in daily use, as the countries public transport, the a load more getting going and keeping them going that, the more modem stuff, similar , " Horse-drawn" vehicle, and the term "The phrase busman’s holiday" origin, meanings,they where the first lot restoring the steam train, the that where from the day that there where just the daily transport, but that's just thinking, anyway?
The APT-P had extensive trials ? Hardly .... a failure ? Again, rushed in to service way before it should have been, p.s that was a 58 engine, not a 37 engine ( single turbo), fabulous video ❤, such a shame we will never see such a works like this ever again in the UK
I have seen this layout a number of times online but it's one that I would really love to see IRL. Just the depth of the scenery, literally! One of the layouts where the trains run through the scenery, not the scenery built up around the layout! Excellent
@@tonyrobinson362 dust doesn't make it any better or worse. My bachmann model is heavily used on the layout, I don't put it away in its box when I've finished playing with it, it's heavily used and spends 99% of it life on the layout.
All my locos are detailed because I only run a TMD layout, Tip try long nosed pliers work a treat with a spot of super glue less is more in the glue department. Must admit I prefer bachmann 37s
