Many thanks for sharing this video. Your videography is superb and I particularly enjoyed the track level shots and close-ups. Your intention was obviously to trick the eye into thinking we were watching full size locos and stock….and it worked! Well done! Incidentally, I’m very I’m impressed with the beautifully constructed locos and magnificent rolling stock…I half expected to see passengers sitting in their seats and people eating in the restaurant coaches! A wonderful hour’s worth of high quality railway pleasure…my sincere regards. Rob in Bournemouth.
There really ought to be a "double thumbs up" button for videos like this !! Models are brilliant nowt like men (didn't see any ladies) seriously playing trains !!
1007 has perfectly even valve beats, noticeably better than most all 2 cylinder locos, models or prototype. Hmm, the austerity does too. This is a wonderful event and a great video, thanks!
A few different answers to this one! Fine scale model locomotives such as these can take anywhere between 1000 - 4000 man hours. An experienced builder with a lot of time might be able to churn a small model out in a matter of months. Many models often take years and there a many examples of engines that have taken upwards of 10 and 15 years to complete.
