    something so very satisfying about seeing P4. As a child I always used to see a disconnect between the locomotives I saw in museums and heritage lines with OO models. This is much more like it

    I'm from America and what astonishes Me is how you guys can put so much room in small layouts and 8 especially love ones that are one scene areas like two tunnels on both ends of the curve so that every scene on one layout is on one side.

      What I particularly have delight in is the super-elevation of the track on the curve towards the station on the right of the layout. So many modellers lay the track flat, and then the train appears to be topling outwards!

    I don't know if you may already be a professional camera person but when I watch your videos I think you should or could be. I am in my 80s now but for most of my life I was a Television producer and Director making documentaries and scripted shows for various ITV companies and the BBC and several American networks. So I worked with a lot of DPs and camera people and quite a few of them, while good, did not have quite your 'eye' or precise sense of composition. If you are not in the business and are still young you might consider putting together a 3 minute showreel and approach some production companies. Of course you may be well advanced in some other business altogether so please forgive me for thinking that my own world is the only one that matters.

    • @highdownmartin
      @highdownmartin 2 года назад +5

      As a consumer who knows very little, I second your comments on the composition and framing and the way this video has been put together. It’s a very detailed railway and the photography does it justice. If all I could think was that the headshunt wall would have weeds and ferns and moss growing on it, then there is nothing else to criticise or jar.

    Thanks for including some of the real “modeller’s eye” shots - the foliage close ups etc. As others have said I don’t have the time, patience, budget or skills for finescale modelling, but there’s something about it that just looks “right” when done properly. It helps too that this model has extremely smooth track, so the normal bounciness that gives away most models isn’t present.

    P4 = HANDBUILT TRACK TO EXACT SCALE AT 18.83mm BETWEEN THE RAILS !
    It's quite obvious from many of the other Comments, most viewers have little understanding of what P4 actually is !!! Most Railways in Europe and North America, as well as Britain use a track gauge of FOUR FEET, EIGHT & A HALF INCHES. The problem is the scales used for modelling railways in Britain, are slightly different from the regular scales used elsewhere in the World. Which creates a Commercial production problem for manufacturers !!!
    British OO scale (1:76), TT scale (1:100), & N scale (1:148) are therefore slightly different from their equivalents in Europe/USA. Where HO scale (1:87), TT scale (1:120) & N scale (1:160) are the norm. This presents a particular problem as to what commercial track is used for British outline model trains. So as British Models can be exported abroad, British Manufacturers have effectively been obliged to use the nearest model track gauges used abroad. These being OO/HO 16.5mm track gauge, TT scale track gauge of 12mm, & N scale track gauge of 9mm. All these model track gauges represent closely the Four Feet Eight & a Half Inch Gauge of the real railways in most of Britain Europe & the USA. But all these model track gauges are therefore all slightly too narrow to represent correctly the real track gauge for English Models.
    In British (1:76) OO scale the track gauge should be 18.83mm between the rails. In British TT scale it should be 14.2mm between the rails, and in British N scale in should be 9.2mm between the rails. None of these correct track gauges for British outline model trains are commercially produced (except by a few small specialist Societies & traders).
    AVAILABILITY OF TOOLS AND PARTS.
    Hence if you want the correct track for your British Outline Model trains, you must hand build it. Again the tools and parts to do this are only available from specialist Societies and/or traders. In the case of the layout seen in this programme, there is what is called the P4 (Prototypical 4mm scale) "SCALEFORUM SOCIETY" which has a website. and produce both track parts, specialist tools and precision wheels to fit your model trains. There is also the Model Railway Shop in Sheffield ("Marcway") who produce flexible Yard lengths of track to P4 standards, and some specialist gauging tools, and copper clad sleeper strip to the correct length for 18.83mm track. They have a website, mail order service, and technical advice by phone.
    3mm (TT) SPECIALIST
    For those fans of "British TT" (1:100) scale there is the British "3mm Society" with website. They also produce track parts, specialist tools, wheels & other accessories.
    2mm (N scale) SPECIALIST
    For Precision N scale fans is the "2mm Scale Association", with website. Track, parts, specialist tools, wheels etc also available.

    Pls explain what P4 scale is. Is that H0 = 1/87th with fat mag wheel tire width? Prototype tyre width is usually ~5.5" but
    usual HO tyre (tire in the USA) = 10" with 5" deep flanges?

    • @SDJR7F88
      @SDJR7F88  2 года назад

      P4 is 1/76 scale (same as OO), but with a track width of 18.83 mm (0.741 in), which is more to scale gauge then OO is

      @schutendohkji548 2 года назад

      @@SDJR7F88 Hmm, the prototype std ga = 4' 8.5" = 56.5"/76 = .743. OK, .741" is close nuf
      track ga iff (if n only if) the model bodies are also scaled down to 1/76. Then, the tyre width
      s/b 5.5"/76 = .072". Pretty skinny tire width but if the track n turnout check rails n frog gaps
      r laid out accurately, this fine scale should work. I'm from the USA and we don't use OO or 1/43
      scale but our prototype locos n cars r bigger though the same std ga. so even at 1/48th scale
      (i.e., 1/4" = 1 ft, precisely, no mixture of units, like mix of metric n imperial, like 7mm/ft?) so
      it's much EZr to calculate the scale down or scale up to chk against the prototype. Un4-2-8ly,
      some idiot way back in the 1900s decided to make the #0 ga (aka Zero-gauge) 1 1/4" = 5' broad
      ga. so though our model bodies r 1/48th scale, they're running on the Russian 5' ga., nut (not)
      American model s/b accurate 56.5/48 = 1.177" ga. But the Proto:48 modelers do run on more
      accurate tyre width w the flange width and flange depth of close to 1/48th scale = .021" deep
      x .021" wide flange (many however uses .025" x .025" flanges). We have the same problem
      w #1 Ga (Don't call it G-scale ga. bc. dattts an LGB term, a narrow meter ga of 1/22.5 scale, not
      a scale for the Mainline prototype) = 1 3/8" ga ~45mm Ga. In the UK, bc their prototype locos n
      cars r smaller, the #1 Ga Mainline modelers like 10mm/ft (here again, complexity of calculation
      comes in bc of mixing the units, a bad idea). If u calculate this odd ball scale, it'll come out 2B
      a whooping bigger than the world standard #1 Ga of 1/32 (3/8" = 1'). It'll come out 2B 1/30.5
      scale. Personally, i don't c much of the UK's 10mm/ft models here in the USA. So, i'm wondering
      where or how this big scale Mainline model running on the narrower 1 3/8" ga locomotive be
      compromised. Many of the UK Mainline loco's driver wheel splasher cowlings protrude out
      top of the running board. But if the boiler diameter is of 1/30.5 scale wide, then u can't have
      these splashers. So, must make the boiler and the cab narrower than this 1/30.5 or 10mm/ft
      scale. The model would look taller or narrower as viewed from the front or the rear? Make the
      boiler standing egg shaped? The driver whls themselves must b taller than the 1/32 scale
      so the splashers demselve must b also taller!!! However, there r fine scale 1/32 group in UK
      w none of this 10mm/ft odd ball problems, enjoying more prototypical proportioned bodies
      w finer correctly scaled wheel contours. Bigger scale have more weight so there r less problems
      from derailments too. Live steam is also possible, even w the UK's Mainline 0-scale of 1/43rd,
      running just as good as the bigger 1/32 live steamers.
      Ur model looks very nice n weathered too! Thx 4 the nice video!

      ??????? Finescale means it is as accurate as you can get. A lot of scales can be "finescale." This layout is in P4 (prototypical 4mm), which is a more finescale OO gauge layout.

    I do enjoy model railways and the detail is great but not on the engines and rolling stock. I worked as a fireman on steam in South Africa in the 70's and working steam engines and rolling stock are always grubby.

    In no way trolling but title a clip “Britain’s Finest Model Railway” etc and you’re bound to leave yourself open.
    I’m not saying it isn’t great and I may be misreading the word ‘finest’ but I take finest to mean best, most detailed etc and this is not the case here. It’s good, it’s great, it’s detailed and so on. I have seen better and I quantify that by suggesting people who haven’t already seen them watch the various posts by Kier Hardy and his Hornsey Broadway finescale layout, it is superb.
    Following on having read some of the other comments about camera work I don’t think it’s anything special and although it is great to give credit where it’s due there is nothing outstanding here.
    So I suggest people watch what they want to and enjoy if the like but keep a grip on reality, it’s a finescale model railway which someone caught on camera.
    Having said all that, I watched this and enjoyed it, there is nothing wrong with it in my opinion it passed a few minutes and I don’t regret that. Thank you.
    Feel free to reply whether I’m right, wrong or whatever, you won’t get a reply.
    To the owner of the layout it’s lovely in setup and detail. I also love the rolling stock. Creative criticism would be that everything is too clean, there are no weeds or dirt and as with most model railways nothing is broken, not a fence post out of place or window broken. Reality is all around you, use it.

      It is probably the most accurate, and hence finest, 4mm scale model railway, as it being p4 gauge makes it more accurate than other ones like EM and 00 gauge. Then in detail terms it’s definitely the finest in accuracy and fidelity, so it probably is the finest
