One train,could have coaches and sleepers for Toronto,Pittsburgh,and Chicago,split at Buffalo! There were also through coaches and sleepers to Los Angeles,San Francisco,and points,on the Santa Fe,or Union Pacific,as an example!The US railroads had many cross country connections,and that example cited above,was on of many! Pullman had about 10,000 pieces of rolling stock,so the railroads had a hefty reserve for traffic surges! A bit of parallel US history! Thank you 😇 😊!

    INCOMPATABLE COACH COUPLING & GANGWAY TYPES !!! At 0:17 is a coupling issue ! The SR, LNER, Pullman Company & BR used, Pullman designed semi-rigid corridor connections, and by default had to use the semi-automatic rigid Buckeye coupling, and retractable buffers. The GWR & the LMS, refused to adopt these more modern methods. So they continued to use the British Standard Suspension gangway (BSS), the traditional chain type coach coupling called a "Screw Link", and normal sprung buffers. This of course means that in normal operating circumstances, you cannot couple GWR/LMS type coaches to SR/LNER/BR/Pullman coaches. This disability could only be catered for by affixing special "Adaptor plates" to the BSS Gangway. But it could take four men, half an hour to affix such an adaptor, IF one was available ! Hence to cater for "inter-regional" services, coaches used on such trains, would be allocated on a semi-permanent basis, having been pre-fitted with the necessary adaptors. Which allowed the BSS gangway to physically "attach" to the Pullman type. NOTE: Pullman gangways do not attach to each other, they only rub each other, hence their wide rubbing plate edges. Further they have hidden "hydraulic buffing gear" in the floor section of the Pullman gangway, known as the "rubbing bar". Meaning their regular buffers MUST be in the retracted position, when the Buckeye coupling is used, to avoid derailments in sharp curves and pointwork. To couple to a loco or a GWR/LMS Screwlink coupling, the Buckeye had to be lowered. This heavy coupling was mounted on a hidden hinge. The "pin" had to be pulled out, to allow it to be lowered to reveal a standard coupling hook. Raising it later, was a little harder as it weighed at least 1.5cwt !!!

    Beautiful layout. Love the attention to detail. Thanks for sharing. I love the open space. A lot of layouts (mine included!) are limited by space and cram too much into a space that is too small. Liked and Subbed! Cheers, Andy

      Many thanks Andy. We are fortunate that the Vale Scene Diorama at Pendon is the size of a tennis court! Lots of room for everything and always scope to add to the scene to keep the museum interesting for even the most frequent visitor.

    Great video! Fantastic realism - and "Charlie" earning his corn (hay probably!) hard at work!

      Thank you for that kind endorsement @geoffreypeart-b1z, Charlie certainly deserves his feed when you think what he has to do during the working day.

    Charlie looks quite small for a Shire but otherwise beautifully observed and modelled.

      Very pleased you enjoyed the video @garrymartin6474. We will make sure Charlie has bigger portions in future :).

    Such a wonderful museum.I really did not believe all the fuss about Pendon till I visited. You have to go a few times to properly appreciate the quality.

      We totally agree @kimmarsh5387. There are so many aspects of Pendon to see and enjoy and we are always pleased to hear that returning visits are such a good experience as well.

    Absolutely love the look of the new yard(s)! I remember hearing in the 1971 interview with Roye England, he mentioned the walls and brickwork of the buildings were constructed out of card, is that still the case for all the structures?

      Thank you @jacobarisz9272, we are pleased you like the tour of the Station yards. And yes, all buildings are still made from card as evolved by our Founder Roye England. Brick or stone courses are scored on and then painted with watercolours.

    Thanks for this new video. Great to see a feature on the yard. It is so prominent yet gets no attention. Perhaps a video of the local pick up could be arranged. Main line are always good, but give a different perspective too. 👍👍👍
