Cadeby near Market Bosworth, Leicestershire.
C/U of two model trains passing each other on a rail track. In the parish church at Cadeby we see the Reverend Teddy Boston coming to the end of a service; the parishioners walk out.
We see the vicar at his home, working on a model train. Various shots of him operating his huge model set that recreates the Great Western Railway between Newton Abbot and Totnes; it looks extremely detailed.
Cuts exist - see separate record.

Teddy Boston was actually a close friend of the Rev.W.Awdry

that explains that Talyllyn railway poster.

@Gaspode_ 3 года назад

Yes, for those that come accross this in the future, the character of the Fat Cergyman was based on him (Small Railway Engines)

@steamgent4592 3 года назад

I'd be surprised if Bishop Treacy wasn't an acquaintance at least as well with those two.

The late, great, much beloved Teddy Boston. I met him once at Crich. Rest in peace, Teddy, you are sadly missed. And to what gauge are you and Wilbert Awdry laying those golden rails in Heaven?

@eliotreader8220 Год назад

very well said

@Mason58654 Год назад

Perhaps broad gauge (7 ft like the old GWR) or narrow gauge?

He's a really useful Church Vicar. How nice of him to have an intrest of model railways. Three cheers for Teddy Boston.

You will certainly find a *model* vicar with a very special *train of thought* which he *signals* to his parishioners. You’ll get the *point* and see the *connection* when the church service is over and there is time for the vicar to get back to his *timetable* routine and for the congregation to disperse Understand the railway terminology?

@howardsmith1320 9 лет назад

I remember visiting Teddy Boston's vicarage in about 73/74, seeing his collection, riding on the light-gauge railway and seeing this model railway.

@julianmeek2156 2 года назад

Sadly the Reverend Teddy Boston never got to retire and enjoy more time on his railway activities. He died in harness in 1986 aged 61.

@jonathanmormerod 2 года назад

I now know where my Uncle got the idea for his Newton Abbott/Totnes layout (a bit larger than this one, but the scenery wasn't as good), apart from living in the South Hams. He was a cameraman for Pathe before he joined BBC West. Or maybe it was the other way round?? When he retired and moved away, his house was reported locally as "Large model railway for sale. Comes with 5 bedroom house, outbuildings & nearly 2 acres of landscaped gardens.."

Go to Church and run model trains after Church. Noice. Gotta say, I like what he does.

@Mason58654 Год назад

What can make a better Sunday than that?

@JojoCat2008 Год назад

Honestly, If my Dad wasn't here, I would cry my Heart and Eyes out and would go to church every Sunday hoping I would see him again. But alas, he's still here so I'm happy. I go to church twice a month to Welcome the Days of the Month into my life and accept all the Day's events when the month ends.

@josephmarrison4606 4 года назад

He lived in Market Bosworth? He would have loved The Battlefield Line today.

@alexhando8541 3 года назад

He helped restore it, I'm sure he'd be proud of it today.

Have s photo of me in about 71 in a wagon of his, pulled by Pixie with him driving, where he laid the track down at a traction engine steam rally..but l don't know where it was this rally?

@Wayzgoosey 9 лет назад

This obviously predates Mrs Boston and the cadeby light railway - what would British Pathe have made of that? (and what would a modern bishop make of the incumbent spending so much time on non-parish duties!?)

@alexhando8541 3 года назад

Teddy once said he actually spent very little time on his collections at all and that he was usually tending to his parishes and the needy. He was only able to do run his layout and drive his engines on every few weekends in his spare time.

@thisisbob1001 Год назад

What happened to the layout can you still see it there?

@johnd8892 6 месяцев назад

Unless designed from the start to be transportable, layouts like this are usually scrapped once the owner dies and the room is needed for other purposes. Very hard to move without massive damage when cut up into smaller sections. Some parts like buildings, locomotives and rolling stock may be split up and sold on. Some of the track may be recoverable but worn and outdated. A fate that has happened to many larger model railways.

@Kabuki Kitsune Sorry to hear he passed away, seemed like a great guy from the video, and if there is one way to capture a kids heart it was with trains especially back then.
