Another fantastic show at the NEC, Warley never fails to deliver. The premier UK model railway exhibition. Hornby displayed their new TT120 scale railway items.
...superb show! Thanks for sharing, they're all great masterpieces I pay tribute to all the great model makers here keeping history alive and generating enthusiasm hopefully for the younger generation 👌
Looked like one of the best shows that Warley MRC have put on, some truly magnificent looking layouts on display and some beautiful rolling stock. The class 82xxx locomotive was also fantastic, what a great job they've done so far. Many thanks for sharing, I haven't been able to get to the NEC for a few years, so this is an excellent video.
Pottendorf at 12:58 was particularly attractive, no attempt to trivialise the scene, lovely muted colours and a feeling of space within just 2,4m. Perfectly presented and my choice as best in show by a country mile despite its small size.
I particularly liked the 3mm layouts on display which I have not seen before in much detail and surprised they are not featured in this video. This really is an ideal scale which is quite bigger than the new TT120, which for me is not much bigger than N gauge and really only appealing to people who want a train set and not for the serious modeller - I hazard a guess that this may have a limited market but only time will tell I imagine.
No, I was one of the first ones in when it officially opened and beetled down to the ‘bottom’ end then worked up. Most people seemed to go for the stalls near the entrance.
Excellent sharp and steady footage. What camera gear do you use? Some very short interviews with exhibitors would add even more to this quality video. G. Bishop.
My two tips for steady footage (from an extreme amateur) are - Get a gimbal, good ones start at about £80 and improve your footage no end BUT they are not the complete answer, they can never take into account the natural forwards and backwards movement of your hands ( sometimes made worse by trying to keep still) Don’t try and keep still - a panning shot really helps make footage steady. Even when filming something small close up, a small slow pan helps and looks more interesting. I don’t always succeed but the two tips go a fair way.
Yep, the iPhone is held to the gimbal by a springy jaw. You must make sure it’s balanced though, ie the phone is level before turning the gimbal on. It takes 5 seconds to do. I just use IMovie on my phone, I don’t have a computer so everything has to be done on the phone.
I aim to keep things as simple as I can, there are much more complicated editing apps which would give better results but I don’t do complicated! I can have a video edited and ready to upload before I get home.
HORNBY TT 1:120 - But NOT 3mm TO THE FOOT SCALE !!!! So Hornby have introduced EUROPEAN TT 1:120 scale. Not BRITISH TT which is slightly larger at 1:100. Presumably to "Kill off" any competition in Britain !!!! Modern Commercial TT, is probably a good idea as the average British home is now to small in reality for OO scale !!!
