Alexandra Palace Model Railway Exhibition 2024 

Ik I just had such short time to edit so I left it like that

@@TrainTRAMLover37_yt There's nothing wrong with your editing ! The problem is the childish subject matter you are filming - virtually all "kiddy toy train sets" ! None of which comply with the Definition of "Model Railway" which is: "A miniaturisation of a real railway". Which means you have to copy real life prototype practice in everything from the trains to the signalling, and most importantly realistic "Operations" !! This is made far worse by idiots who are unaware that "DCC" electrically pays absolutely no heed to any European Railway Block Signalling systems, because it is wired for the American Market & U.S. CTC (Radio instructions to move), a system banned in Europe on Safety grounds ! One of the biggest DCC operational issues is the fact you can have head on crashes, which is of course not possible when you have traditional 12v DC in the rails. So another clear indication you cannot interface DCC with any type of European Block Signalling system including British, Absolute Block; Track Circuit Block; Permissive Block; Single Track Token Block or even Electric Token Block. A couple of examples of "Operational rules" in BR days:- ex GWR & LMS designed corridor coaching stock cannot be coupled to ex SR/LNER/Pullman or BR corridor stock as they have different couplings, buffers & Gangway connections. Unless specialised "Adaptor Plates" were fitted to the BSS gangway ends, which meant this was rare, being an operational nuisance. Many ex GWR coaches also banned from other Regions because of their "Loading Gauge". And GWR four cylinder locos also banned from virtually the whole SR, parts of the Midland & much of the Eastern & Scottish Regions again due to "Loading Gauge" issues. BR wagon rules: "Unfitted" wagons must be coupled behind any "fitted" wagons to ensure the biggest "fitted head" possible. Purely "unfitted" freights (class 9) limited to 30mph. Further wagons fitted with Air brakes couldn't run in vacuum braked trains, or with steam locos !!! So most of today's "Model Railway" shows have degenerated to the level of childish playtime nonsense. About the only decent shows left are therefore specialist shows such as "Scaleforum". The P4 Society 18.83mm gauge, show !!! As I'm an ex BR Senior Mechanical Engineer who's worked on various railways around the World, I obviously have a very good idea of the very complex manner of everything a Railway requires in order to operate safely. All of which I apply to my hobby of "Model Railways" !
