Large Quality layouts were on display at the Folkestone Model Railway Exhibition.
Folkestone model railway club held their 2023 exhibition on the7th of October and this was one of the larger Exhibitions with some very large layouts all excellently finished.
Held in Leas Cliffs Hall, the location was quite special.
I personally really enjoyed my afternoon and well worth the drive, so join me for a stroll around the exhibition.
Thank you to all those involved.
I have done my best to avoid filming people and conversations but inevitably at an event like this it is so difficult to avoid, so if there are any objections please get in touch with the time in the video and I will do my best to edit.
If you enjoy the video, please give it a thumbs up and please check out the channel and if you like what you see please consider subscribing.

Love the scenery on the 009

@dustyshelfcollectables 8 месяцев назад

Beautiful layouts and so well done - both the 009 layouts there. Thanks for watching and taking the time to message.

When you consider that the second of the 009 layouts featured, "Dovey Valley", is over 45 years old it still holds its own in my opinion. I first helped to run it way back in the late 70s, so I was honoured to come and run it again at this show which is almost definitely it's last outing (though never say "never again" :) ) Looks like we were having a rare moment of coupling problems at the time this footage was taken!

Think you'll find that those aren't vineyards but are Hop plantations what Kent is or was known for back then, hence Hop Picker Special trains from London, nicely filmed, plenty to see but sorry had to skip flashing lights layout, very good composition love it, our layout on exhibition in Chestfield nr Herne Bay on 28th October at Swalecliffe and Chestfield Community Cebtre, maybe see you there

@dustyshelfcollectables 8 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for the info about the hops I had no idea! but to be honest when I am talking its generally the first thing that comes to mind, I may get down to Herne bay, was it your layout with the hop plantations? Apologies about the strobing layout if it leave it on the cutting room floor, people ask why I left it out so I try to include as much as possible and let the viewer skip. with the flashing I did feel it was right to warn though. Anyway Thank you for your kind words and for watching.

Scalefour (originally in the 1970s called Protofour) is fine scale OO but running on 18.83mm track instead of 16.5mm. The standards are quite demanding with vehicles requiring sprung axleboxes. A lot of materials, kits and gauges are available from the Scalefour Society.

@dustyshelfcollectables 8 месяцев назад

Thanks Kimball, I have just looked it up with that info, not a scale I was familiar with.

Vineyard? It’s Kent in the 1920’s. It’s Hops, another clue being the Oast house right next to them

@dustyshelfcollectables 8 месяцев назад

Yes, you are not the first to point that out, it was just the first ting that came to mind but with hindsight pretty obviously Hops, anyway thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

@meruliouslacrimens5154 8 месяцев назад

Yet none of these layouts have any signals that should be present at all points, engineers cross overs and junctions, or any evidence of drivers in cabs, or passengers in trains.

@47606odin 8 месяцев назад

Saw lots of signals and some crews on Much Firkin

@dustyshelfcollectables 8 месяцев назад

I hope it didn't spool your enjoyment of the video too much. To be honest I just love apricating the effort that people put into these layouts but I can understand also the wish for accuracy. Anyway thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
