Your uploads provide me, and I’m sure others, with a lovely break from the lunacy that surrounds us. Thank you for all the hard work you put in to your layouts.
You are obviously putting a lot of effort into making these videos. I love the interaction between the full scale and your layout with the same model engines. Thanks for all you do to make these available to us. Ronn
Morning Lewis, you've captured the golden age perfectly, enjoyed the session very much. That must have taken ages to set up and research. So thank you for the effort, Eddy xx
mmmmm wow great video Lewis some great timing and perfect matching on the earlier traction its like going back 60 yrs in time wonderful such a awesome layout you have thanks for taking the and efort to share the awesome footage with us i loved it do take care and stay safe a t b syd👍
It is your absolutely amazing eye for detail that I think sets you apart from others, to go to the lengths of getting weeds…..just as the real world, where you don’t want them. The ageing process you carry out on your rolling stock, is a really amazing video to watch. I personally think you could teach some of the ‘big boys’ quite a few things to watch out for. Thank you ross
Art imitating life, bob on young man. I’ve been binge watching from 6 years back, whilst off work, I’ve come to realise you see summation different every time. Not seen the mill before then you told the chap from the mag you had got rid. Ah that’s why then. A bit worrying that the Evening-star type 2-10-0 won’t go round 3rd radius. Anyway as ever thanks for your hard work good to see the prototype and then the model. Thanks David.
Love your introduction of each loco with its class running in action ,. Great eye level shots of an action packed video .. Nice to see some of your older locos running ,That was very enjoyable Lewis . Keep up the great work .😊
A timely reminder of how wonderful this hobby is. Some of my favourite locomotives in their element on your beautiful layout. Thanks for taking the time to film and upload.
I was around in the fifties and sixties. The colour was just as vibrant then as it is now. Too bad the old film has faded theway it has... Lewis, your depictions of this era are more then brilliant! If only there were a way to depict the smoke and steam! Thanks for the trip back to my youth!
Excellent video Lewis. Love your work as always. I'm just old enough to have witnessed the last days of steam and this was a trip back to my childhood for sure. Cheers!
Some wonderful reconstructions of these trains. The sound, as ever, is fantastic. Very impressive work Lewis and very enjoyable to watch, the archive clips really added to the effect.
Im not sure whether i commented or not yet, but have to say this is a great presentation of a bygone era through your models on the new layout. Splendid and delightful video of these old trains reincarnated into the models on the YDMR. Though its your country, it still remains nostalgic here in SA for me to with out SAR rail traffic, steamies and rolling stock and in models😂😂❤
Hi Lewis, another brilliant video, thank you. Seeing all your weathered model locomotives one after the other you really get a sense of how your weathering, I'm thinking the polished bits, brings out the sense of a well cared for fleet. I think they look much better than those you see weathered to an inch of their lives, so filthy you can't tell what they are. Great stuff and thanks again, all the best Dave.
Great cutting of old footage with your own locos and rolling stock. Amazing how the old footage was probably state of the art cameras at the time! Cheers
@@MouldyRaspberry Lewis the archive film would have been done on 16mm clockwork camera. In those times they bought roll of film about the diameter of a 2 pound coin and you got 60 seconds of film. These days if you video a train and the shot isn't very good then you delete it and try again. In those days if the shot wasn't very good then tough luck as you were stuck with a dud shot. You can see that the archive shot is over exposed but film cameras didn't compensate for the light in those days. How spoiled we are today. Many people filmed in B&W for colour film was very expensive and usually made by the German company BASF or the American company Kodak.
Love you're layout and your running gear. You've done amazing work and it is always a pleasure to watch videos you share. Thank you. The one thing the pops to mind when I watch is that your rail cars are inordinately clean. You could perhaps improve the feeling by weathering them up a bit, as you've done with your beautiful engines.
Thanks! Damn I lost that when I first for the loco, I usually switch the nameplate from the other side depending on which direction I’m running it in 🤣
As long as you buy more coaches being blue and white coaches, Intercity coaches, green olive coaches, chocolate and cream colored coaches, crimson and cream colored coaches, Gresley teak coaches, maroon coaches, engines, stations, sheds, signal gantry packs, signals, signalboxes, sheds, turntables, and many more of the British Railways, Great Western Railway, London, Midland, and Scottish Railway, London and North Eastern Railway, and Southern Railway, you'll be able to extend the track to make it longer as a preserved main line, Mouldy Raspberry.
@@MouldyRaspberry That way, there will be some long preserved main lines with lots of tracks, enabling some fully express services to be recreated, and because there should be more filming of The Express Steam Locomotives of the Southern Railway, London and North Eastern Railway, London Midland and Scottish Railway, Great Western Railway, and British Railways, Dan Hull will be glad to visit other places with his friends and begin filming on more documentaries of remaking the Castle Vision train films.
I renamed it after my Grandpa who died a couple of years ago who was into modelling - I meant to renumber it to a fictional number in the series but never got round to it!
