My first time exhibiting my 009 layout in a suitcase, Gofod Tynn, at a model railway exhibition!

If you followed my recent 009 series where I built a layout inside a suitcase, you'll know a big part of that project was to get Gofod Tynn complete in time for it to be displayed at a model railway exhibition.
This would be my first time at a model railway exhibition as an actual exhibitor and I was determined to put on a good show. So in this more casual video, I take you behind the scenes to show how I prepared the layout for it's very first show and what backups I put in place to keep everything running smoothly before heading off to the show itself.

A really enlightening video. I had no idea it would be so much work to set up and operate in an exhibition setting. You know what I found interesting? Seeing Gofod Tynn in context with people around it. It is a tiny layout, indeed. Many thanks once again.

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Haha, yep it's a pretty small layout but that was definitely the idea with it. It just goes to show how much you can fit into a small space with 009. Thanks for watching 😃

@loispadgett6306 Год назад

That looked like so much fun and people seemed to really love the layout. Thank you for sharing. GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Yes I really wasn't expecting the layout to be so popular. I think it helped that we were in a really prominent position and the suitcase itself is a fun selling point. Thanks for watching 😃

@adam_fordham Год назад

Fantastic video, it's so exciting setting up layouts for a exhibition and it was great to see gofod tynn getting the attention it deserves 😀

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Thanks, I really had no idea how it all worked beforehand so I figured it might be interesting to see behind the scenes. It was great that so many people enjoyed Gofod Tynn too. I was hoping for a positive reaction but I wasn't really prepared for just how enthusiastic lots of people were. Thanks for watching 😃

@Ben_Horne 10 месяцев назад

The box file storage solution is brilliant!!!

@ThatModelRailwayGuy 10 месяцев назад

It's very handy for keeping all the stock together and transporting it easily to shows! Thanks for watching 😃

@laszlokaestner5766 Год назад

It was a really fun exhibition and it was great to meet you and see the layout in person having watched the build process. A shout out to Al who is a great wingman and was clearly getting the bug after only a few hours. It was also nice to get my photo in one of your videos having watched so many of them! Well done.

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

It was great to meet you too! Al is a fantastic wingman and it was good to have him around just to keep an eye on things while I was busy talking to people. If he ever builds his own layout I've asked him to let me film it! Great to feature you in the video as well, it was so nice to meet people face to face throughout the weekend. Thanks for watching 😃

@garthyre5771 Год назад

Love this video and have a feeling I'll be watching it again. I'm hoping there will be another oo9 project in the future. Exciting times!

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Thanks Garthyre, it was definitely a fun one to put together. There will definitely be some more 009 on the channel and perhaps sooner than you might think. Thanks for watching 🤩

@nigelcole1936 Год назад

Really good to see how to prepare a model railway for a show without making and exhibition of yourself. Some great tips , especially with the lighting, and I love the wagon repair scene. many thanks for a great video.

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

I see what you did there Nigel 😉 Yes the lighting is a big improvement as are the little added details around the whole layout. It's that last 1% that makes all the difference. Thanks for watching 🤩

@ianmerrison7097 Год назад

Fascinating vid! Thanks for sharing 😀

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Thanks Ian, really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 😃

@davidcutts2650 Год назад

Congratulations on what was a well deserved success for you. A great “little big” layout.

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Thanks David, it was definitely good fun to be exhibiting a layout for once considering it was not something I ever thought I'd have the opportunity to do. Thanks for watching 😃

@elizabethwilcox8006 Год назад

A very entertaining and useful video..like the friendly approach and the tips for cleaning loco wheels and prep fro exhibiting..wow, what a job!!

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Really glad you enjoyed it Elizabeth! It was my first time ever exhibiting a layout so I wanted to be fully prepared for every eventuality. It’s certainly very rewarding though to show the layout off and I’m pleased to say Gofod Tynn will be making more exhibition appearances later this year! Thanks for watching 😃

@NicholassTrainChannel Год назад

Nice video mate. Congrats on taking the layout to its first exhibition. It was good to see all the preperation that went into taking the layout to the exhibition and running it. An exhibition layout is something I have always wanted to build for a long time! I recon next year I'll get a start on one. - Nicholas.

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Thanks Nicholas, it was definitely a fun experience. I never built this layout with the purpose of it going to exhibitions but with it being so small and a bit different it does seem to be a good candidate for them. Best of luck with your own layout when you get started and thanks for watching 😃

@carltonbirds 5 месяцев назад

Good luck, hope it goes well for you.

@ThatModelRailwayGuy 5 месяцев назад

Thanks, it went very well as the exhibition was around 18 months ago now. Thanks for watching 😃

@Legomastr365 Год назад

Wonderful little video! I have a train show coming up on the 26th and 27th with my group Thomas & His Fans and we're expecting it to be big. I think this is a neat idea to film the behind the scenes of setting it up! Can't wait to see more! Maybe one day I'll be able to come to the UK and see you at one of these shows!

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Awesome, I hope you all have fun! Before I did this show I was looking to see if anyone had made a behind the scenes video like this, just to get an idea of what it was like. I couldn't really find much out there so I figured it might be interesting and useful for those in similar situations in the future. Thanks for watching 😃

@jasonpierce-newmodelbarmy3394 Год назад

Great video and very representative of the do's and don'ts of exhibiting. Throat lozenges are useful, but I guess you'll know that by now...and your own Tea mug, to keep lubricated! I totally agree that it's important that you have something running all of the time if possible as that is what the punters want to see. I do about three exhibitions a year and I exhibit as an individual and not part of a club, as a sole operator they are really enjoyable but I'm quite knackered by the end of each one!! Keep up the excellent work.

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Yeah considering I was going in with very little experience I think we nailed all the main things. The only thing I would change for next time would be swapping out locos/trains more often for those who were coming back round. That said most people wanted to see the Double Fairlie run anyway! Thanks for watching 😃

@scoopet Год назад

Great video!

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Thanks! Something a little bit different than more normal videos but I'm glad everyone seems to be enjoying it. Thanks for watching 🤩

@markjames6669 11 месяцев назад

Great video. I’ve enjoyed watching the entire series on this oo9 layout & I’m feeling pretty inspired to build my own oo9 layout.

@ThatModelRailwayGuy 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Mark, really glad you enjoyed it and great to hear it's got you thinking about your own 009 layout. It's certainly a fantastic scale for making the most out of a small space! Thanks for watching 😃

@markjames6669 11 месяцев назад

@@ThatModelRailwayGuy it’s a great scale . Wanted to build one in the late 90s , but back then there wasn’t any welsh narrow gauge ready to run anything . Now Bachmann & peco have done some beautiful RtR engines , I’d be a fool not to.

@SilverGear_ Год назад

Evening! I'm part of a group who maintain and operate a HO layout based out of Bath, and we've just had our layout attend the NMRA convention out in Crewe last weekend. In spite of it being a larger layout with more people involved, it's a similar experience in just having the audience watching trains go by and wearing yourself out talking to people (not helped by our moving carfloat that features on the layout), and just being on one's feet all day! In spite of the hard work involved, from transport to troubleshooting, it really is great fun at the end, and one gets an immense sense of pride when their work is on display to the public. Hope to see you and your wonderful layout on the circuit soon! Best wishes

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Hey Tommy, glad you also had a good time showing off your layout. It is good fun and it's certainly nice to run trains with the purpose of entertaining others for a change. Thanks for watching 😃

@MistaMatthews Год назад

Wheeeey!! I made it in the video 😂. Enjoyed watching the building of the layout, even the wife got interested in the series, so was really good to see it in person!

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

It was great to meet you! Glad you both enjoyed watching how the layout came together, I hope seeing it in person lived up to expectations. Thanks for watching 😃

@HeartfiliaRailway Год назад

I just stumbled across this, and I can honestly say its a very imaginative and unique layout idea! Also I need to get one of those wheel cleaners, I didn't even know they existed! Great little layout, I hope to see it one day. :)

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Thanks, it was good fun to build. If you enjoyed this video you might also like the series I made where I showed the full construction of the suitcase layout. Thanks for watching 😃

@willbreckinridge8010 Год назад

Such a nice little layout! I wish I could've seen it, but maybe some other time :)

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Thanks Will, it will be making an appearance at an exhibition next year... I'm just not sure if I'm allowed to say where yet. Thanks for watching 😃

@railwayjade Год назад

Wow! That is interesting, I didn't realise the emphasis on making sure trains move at all costs (makes sense of course). That's a cool figure of you!

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

It's not an emphasis that all layout owners stick too 😅 But certainly from my own experiences at exhibitions as a spectator, I move on very quickly if nothing happens for a while. Thanks for watching 👍

@railwayjade Год назад

@@ThatModelRailwayGuy I saw a discussion somewhere where they said that owners should allow trains rather to run than do operations (running allows you to focus on the guests and endless questions) and trying to do operations brings in other problems of trains getting stuck , the hand in the sky etc. I know some layouts are only for switching etc. But I would agree to keep ops on a more personal level outside of exhibitions.

@ModelRailwayShed Год назад

Great little layout, I would love to build an exhibition layout in the future. Regards Deano

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Thanks Deano, believe it not I didn't build this specifically as an exhibition layout - but with it packing so much into a small space and being very portable too it naturally makes it a good candidate. Thanks for watching 😃

You have built a smashing little railway well done I was thinking about having a 009 layout unfortunately I don't have the room though as I have a 00 layout

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Thanks Steve! How about a little industrial narrow gauge section on your 00 gauge layout... just an idea 😉 Thanks for watching 👍

@alfieh7389 Год назад

Thanks so much for the pic glad you liked my t shirt lol

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

It was great to meet you and nice to see one of the shirts out in the wild too! Thanks for watching 😃

@derekloudon8731 Год назад

Well done 👍 that was an interesting little video. Never exhibited myself but can imagine the amount of effort required (how many bacon rolls did you consume 😆?).

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Thanks, it was definitely an interesting experience and one that Im definitely glad I managed to document. Hopefully I'll be able to do more videos like this in the future. Sadly no bacon rolls were consumed during the weekend so we'll have to make up for it next time! Thanks for watching 😃

@Rheilffordd Год назад

Excellent video! I have followed the entire building series of Gofod Tynn and this has inspired me to get into OO9! With regards to DCC’ing your layout, is there any tutorial on existence out there on how to add DCC decoders to both the Small England locomotive and the Kato 109 Chassis? Additionally, what decoder did you use? Many thanks, from Australia 😁

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

That's great to hear! As far as adding decoders to the Small England and Kato chassis, these are both videos I'm hoping to do in the future. You'll need decoders with wires and and for the Small England you want the smallest decoder you can get. For the Kato chassis it depends a bit more of what body shell you're putting on top of it. Hope that helps and thanks for watching 😃

@nicholasbishop3300 Год назад

Great video Well done Rob Nick Australia

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 😃

@treinenliefde Год назад

I know this is nothing related to the exhibition but the way you store the modular layout is genius! Have you shown that in a different video because a stacking system like that is what I'm thinking of building as well for my layout.

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Thanks, I haven't shown it properly yet just because it's still a bit of a work in progress. This is just one of the many things that is holding up progress on on the modular layout in general but hopefully soon I'll be able to start work on those videos again and when I do I'll cover the storage of the layout in more depth. Thanks for watching 😃

@twickenhammrc 7 месяцев назад

I love the look of those lights. How long does a full charge on the lights last? And how long to fully charge? Thanks

@ThatModelRailwayGuy 7 месяцев назад

Hiya, the lights actually aren't battery powered they have a cable to plug into the mains. That said, it is a USB connection so you could run them off a power bank if you really wanted too. Thanks for watching 😃

@petehaywood9942 Год назад

Was great to see this at the Spa Valley railway exhibition a few weeks ago! Do you have any software recommendations for designing a layout? (Preferably free of course)

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Thanks Pete, really glad you enjoyed seeing Gofod Tynn in person! Plans are already underway for next years exhibition. I'm a bit old fashioned when it comes to designing layout and tend to sketch things out with a pencil and paper. I have been known to use Rail Modeller Express though which works well for my uses. Hope that helps and thanks for watching 😃

@StockportJambo Год назад

Gosh, I got a mention. I'm famous! 🤣 Another great & enjoyable video, thanks for posting.

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Haha, everybody gets one! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 😃

@Kaisersaurus Год назад

wish I wasn''t across the pond so I could see this in person

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Ah that's a shame. Hopefully I'll do more livestreams from the layout in the future though which are basically like virtual exhibitions. Thanks for watching 😃

@Trainsofthemidlands Год назад

Looks like an awesome weekend 👏. How do you go about getting it into the exhibition do you have to apply or were you invited? Did you have to pay any entry fee?

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

In this instance I volunteer at the Spa Valley Railway so was able to talk to the organisers about the layout while I was building it. Once it was done I sent over some photos and they kindly made space for it. During the show there were organisers for other exhibitions looking around too and some of them approached me to invite the layout to their own shows next year. Generally though if you're thinking about displaying a layout, contact a few local shows with photos, some basic info and the dimensions of the layout for their consideration. Sometimes it just comes down to having something bit different - ie: they don't want to have hundreds of BR 1960's steam layouts. Gofod Tynn is good in this way since its 009 which is already a bit different and has the added selling point of fitting inside a suitcase which is a fun way to display a layout but also means it takes up less space. Hope that helps and thanks for watching 😃

@Trainsofthemidlands Год назад

@@ThatModelRailwayGuy Sounds good, thank you, I’m considering building an exhibition layout and not quite sure where to start on that side of things. This helps thank you 😊

@derbyshiretrainboy235 Год назад

Can you get a track cleaner like that in 00?

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Yep Gaugemaster do this for both N and 00 gauge. Thanks for watching 😃

@Alex-cw3rz Год назад

Odd question, but when you go to exhibitions, do you pay for a space to set up or do they pay you to display a layout or is it all volunteering work?

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад

Hey Alex, it depends on each individual exhibition. In this case I'm a volunteer at the railway so they were keen for those already involved to show off their work. I don't know of anyone paying to be part of an exhibition as usually it's down to the organisers to choose what layouts they want to feature. I imagine some of the more high profile exhibitions might pay for a specific layout to attend a show almost as a headliner and a lot of exhibitions do cover expenses if you're travelling from further away. Hope that helps and thanks for watching 😃

@Alex-cw3rz Год назад
