What really impresses me is the lack of corny little cameos and realistic running speeds. It looks like a real lonely railway station as I’m sure it would have been. As for the track, if it wasn’t for the shots of the building housing this masterpiece it would look so real. Brilliant doesn’t describe it. Thanks for showing us how good model railways can be.
The fact that the gauge is 00 doesn't detract from the realism of this layout at all in my opinion. And the absence of tinny sound from the locos is a plus. When the modelled scene is this good one's imagination can add all the sounds and smells to a huge extent. This is the ECML as I remember it from my childhood.
Wow, this is where i grew up. We lived in the little wooden bungalow on the Witham Rd and when I was ten we moved into the Station Masters house until I was twenty three when I got married and moved into Stamford. Awesome layout, brings back a lot of wonderful memories !!!
smooth running scale lenght trains.....very nice....great layout...big...but not too large.....ilike it.....and it's the right region too....:-) i also like it, that there is no "sound" involved.....a bit of quiet running is much appreciated.....thats why i stick with good old "analogue".....
Really Beautiful Layout. I hope Tony is doing well I have talked to him a few times on the various circuits, but like most that has been limited in the past few years
Steam era with nice clean ballasted track !!!!!! Funny I remember all track went a nasty brown colour rapidly on a mainline. Thanks to clouds of rusty brake block dust, and toilets that dropped everything directly on the track, never mind the mess steam locos added !!!!!!
If I can get my railroad looking as half realistic as this I will be happy. Prefer the next generation...(10 years later), but still very impressive. Given me an idea for a backdrop.
Lovely layout very realistic except there is no weeds between the tracks it would add a bit more realism, just a thought as my eye was drawn to it absence
You modeled flat spots on your rolling stock? How OCD is that? It's just too bad that all this modeling talent went into a British railroad. British railroading, much like British food, is so bland and boring....oh well...
