A quick look at a favorite model shop by the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Close to Goathland Railway station. Sat nav code YO22 5LF www.themodelcentre.com
I love that kind of model shop. None like it here in East Tennessee. I'd have to go near Atlanta to find one like it. You managed to make a haul. Congrats, Regards, Solomon
Brilliant shop a lot of stock and handy for the railway , I would have thought it would have been an idea for them to put a video on RU-vid their self ,I for one will be visiting them when I'm on the North Yorkshire moors railway ,very good imformative video.
Thanks for posting this info, looks like a great place to visit & staying, don’t think I could resist not popping in the shop every day and spend a fortune! Lol🤓🤪
Brilliant little shop. I took the plunge and ordered a heavily-weathered class 37 from them and it is just perfect. The skill that goes in to their weathering is well worth the price.
Any American locomotives? And a question about real steam locomotives: I always thought British locomotives had BIG driving wheels to allow the. Oiler to generate enough steam to turn them another time. Charles Dickens complained about the explosive BPs of American locomotives when he came over. But a book I read recently showed British steam with basically the same heads of steam we had. So why did the Brits use the huge driver's?
They did have a few American locos. Only the fastest passenger locos in the UK have large driving wheels. Mixed traffic locos had medium sized and freight had quite small driving wheels. US trains are a lot longer and heavier than ours and smaller wheels equal higher torque so I guess that works better along with more wheels in general. Big driving wheels were a show of power and speed and the UK companies loved to show off to one another and there customers.
