There seems to be a lot of discussion about the music! I put music over the video in preference to motor noise, me sighing, traffic noise etc so it wouldn't distract. The choice of music is entirely subjective, also dictated by length and availability , and the choice has no relevance to the theme of the layout. I'm afraid my logic was simply that viewers could either just enjoy the music, or simply turn the sound down! I am very pleased that people seem to be enjoying The End of The Line. Best, Giles
These are the most ingenious and forward looking railways that I have ever seen. They must be the future for combining railways with road freight! Wonderful, a sheer joy to watch!
I have seen this layout in the flesh, and could sit and watch it for hours. How people can dislike this is beyond me. As for the choice of music, Straus one of my favourite composers. It fits this video perfectly.
Saw this at Taunton a few weeks ago. I could have watched for hours. The music in this video is entirely appropriate- Watching the layout operate is like watching a well choreographed waltz!
@The Armchair SpacemanTM Your Comment genuinely baffles me, whereas I agree, the music feels a bit distracting, really I'd prefer to just hear the sounds of the layout working. But the line 'Snob music, putting off the workingman' surely wins the award for most incoherent, flawed, over-simplistic statement ever, my brain is currently melting, trying to work out if you're a troll or serious. No one actually thinks like this honestly?
If you don't like the music you have a thing called a volume, press the - button a few times and the music will eventually go away, if there was no music you'd then moan there was no music, plus the music is just music I'm sure iv heard similar on Tom and Jerry and iv watched that so am I a snob? I think the only disrespectful thing here is you, some people.
I love the human scale and "intimacy" of the scene..... so much in a small space..... music well chosen.... cheers from the lumber yard in Bellows Falls, Vermont.....
@The Armchair SpacemanTM Appreciate it for what it is - A well made, well laid out piece of pure joy. Agreed, I wasn't too keen on the music, I would have preferred motor sounds but that aside a marvellous piece of work.
Excellent ! Le diorama, la lenteur des déplacements, le réalisme parfait. Le choix de la musique est superbe : on n'est pas très loin de Space Odyssey de Kubrick. Bravo pour cette réalisation et son filmage.
Here’s an example how it should be made; a beautifully detailed landscape, rolling stock and great camera work. Some positive criticism: the snow-white background may be replaced because the shadows say too much that you are looking at a model. Thanks for sharing this beautiful video with me 👍👍
I just can’t believe what ive just seen. That is the most brilliant video ive ever seen for a layout. if oscars were being given out you should be given one. I do animation and I know how long it takes to do that vehicle moving. No wonder you won a trophy, Your scenery is the best ive ever seen also. Im gob smacked , just bloody brilliant.
Hi 16A,I'm so glad you liked it!. The polarity was changed (corner by corner) by the tortoise point motors, so all automatic, thank heavens! Not too complicated to wire, but quite effective.
Fantastic! A radio controlled truck? I don't know whether it is really or whether it's all done with cameras. If it's done with cameras, it's fantastic. If that is a radio controlled truck, it's twice as fantastic. Well done!
Amazing layout watching this and videos like it are giving me some ideas of my own but I doubt mine would turn out very well, although 42 people are either jealous or think they could do a better job lol
I was completely misled by the term "7 mm layout" at first, as I thought of 7 mm gauge, which would be 1:220 scale. Meanwhile I understand that "7 mm scale" is equivalent to "British 0 scale" (1:43). Even in this scale I find the level of detail outstanding and hard to believe. And I like that you really take your time in the video.
How did I not find this until now, its brilliant and very well put together. Are those standard Parkside/Dundas tipper wagons? If so how do you get them to work so well?
That's really nice !! the RC truck is great the scale too its all done very nicely the music is OK too can't get everything perfect the only thing that mine run coal (not crushed and screened ) is going to beat up the bottom of the truck bed badly I guess the buyer got a good deal on it having to break it up quite a bit to make it a usable size for his stove or forge ? well a forge does this yard sell coke too ??

Well, I liked the music, it fit the video.
Your video your choice of music. I wouldn’t tune it in on my radio dial but I think it went well with your video. 👍👍
@@knotbumper Yup, first thought - like in Kubrick's 2001 a waltz of machines.
Works for me and a thumbs up!
I too liked the music.
Anybody else notice how the truck takes every little bump in the road with realistic shock absorber floating? Brilliant.
Fantastic! When the lorry stopped at the weighbridge I half expected the driver to get out and take his paperwork into the office.
I expect that will be the "Mark 2", Nat . . .
Weigh-bridge could be better placed - makes it awkward to do axle weights if needed.
These are the most ingenious and forward looking railways that I have ever seen. They must be the future for combining railways with road freight! Wonderful, a sheer joy to watch!
You never know they might even in the real world take a lesson from that and do it for real 😂
This is really very amazing! I’m amazed you’ve managed to make it all work so smoothly! Absolutely great work!
Absolutely stunning! A deserved winner

Well done. Absolutely one of the best things I've seen on a layout. Some thought definitely went behind this. Two thumbs up. 👍👍
Ubelievable craftsmanship has gone into this...simple but so evocative of that time..simply amazing
Not sure what i just watched... , but it was delightful, hypnotic, and just what was needed in these hectic times. Thank you :)
Captures the era magniificently with this music and slow action....
Saw this at Taunton a few weeks ago. I could have watched for hours. The music in this video is entirely appropriate- Watching the layout operate is like watching a well choreographed waltz!
I would like it if the people who give thumbs down to layouts like this explain why they do it. It baffles me.

@The Armchair SpacemanTM So working men cannot like classical music?
The Armchair SpacemanTM I think the guy just chose the music cause he liked it
If you don't like the music you have a thing called a volume, press the - button a few times and the music will eventually go away, if there was no music you'd then moan there was no music, plus the music is just music I'm sure iv heard similar on Tom and Jerry and iv watched that so am I a snob?

sometimes it's automated for bots to dislike videos so they don't get too popular
It simply doesn't get any better than this. Great job!
This is the second time I have viewed this railroad in 'action' and it won't be my last. Thanks for putting your handiwork on display.
Probably the best layout for realism I've seen!
I love the little NG Lister. Exceptional modeling
Like the Music, it makes a good combination with the video, very relaxing to watch
God i cud watch this layout all day!! This layout is my all time fave, bloody brilliant!!!
When good is good enough on 1:43 scale. Smooth indeed.
Incredible! One of the finest layouts I've seen on RUclips! Well done!
wow, what a beautiful layout, congrats! 🚂👏
Probably one of the best layouts I'v ever seen. A big well done!!! :-D
Delightful! A very skillfully created scenario,
I love the human scale and "intimacy" of the scene..... so much in a small space..... music well chosen.... cheers from
the lumber yard in Bellows Falls, Vermont.....
@The Armchair SpacemanTM calling people names again? I still like the video and the skill behind it.

The truck surprised me. Very well made. Enjoyed it.
Incredibly beautiful, satisfying and somewhat soothing video! THANKS!
I didn't know that something like this was possible now let alone 7 years ago. Just wow.
You sir deserve a gold medal for best layout!
Hello
This is an amazing Layout thank you for sharing with us
Stay healthy
Thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening. Very well done sir.
Wonderful, lovely action, nice and slow, I like that very much!
Quite intricate models...realistic looks..wonderful !
Incredible!! Beautiful work!
Well most of your viewers said it all. Simply Beautiful!
Such an odd railroad but so soothing and calming
THANK YOU...for sharing. Very much enjoyed.
Giles. I so much enjoyed this.
You are a true watch maker and engineer.
Simply the best!
The best I have ever ever seen.

It's amazing how the smallest of layouts can be the best layouts.
The truck is radio controlled Duncan. It was at the NG exhibition in Shepton Mallet a few years ago when the wife of the owner was operating it.
Hi 16A,I'm so glad you liked it!. The polarity was changed (corner by corner) by the tortoise point motors, so all automatic, thank heavens! Not too complicated to wire, but quite effective.
I have to say this is the best I have seen! I love Narrow Gauge and you have nailed it!
This is super stunning, love it
This is unreal! Fantastic and genius....
Nicely done!! Super-Sweet little layout!
Amazing! Would've loved to seen some close-ups of the action, especially the coal tipping mechanisms.
A masterpiece! Chef d'ouvre!
Fantastic! A radio controlled truck? I don't know whether it is really or whether it's all done with cameras. If it's done with cameras, it's fantastic. If that is a radio controlled truck, it's twice as fantastic. Well done!
Wonderful Video!
I liked the music and the animation. Good job!
Love the video, music and layout. Top job
c'est incroyablement magnifique !!! je n'ai qu'un mot : bravo !!
Amazing layout watching this and videos like it are giving me some ideas of my own but I doubt mine would turn out very well, although 42 people are either jealous or think they could do a better job lol
Wow modelling at its best.
love this layout
Very good video.
Just wonderful
Great work, great video!!

PerfeKt! Ganz große Kunst.
Amazing job
This is too Cool! Enjoyed it
That is superb.
excellent work! Aplauses
Really well done a joy to watch.
Just brilliant! 🙂
Cottage industry coal mine, perfect for a model railroad!
Superb - thank you for sharing
Very nicely done. The music is perfect. I keep expecting to see a monolith, however.
Good work! 👌
Truly stunning, have subscribed also!
Man this one really made me emotional now I feel like crying.
Stunning
fantastic

And I like that you really take your time in the video.

Beautyful. Thanks.
Beautiful layout!
Was that a RC truck too?? Very clever!!!
All I can say is W O W..... really great.....
Outstanding :)
Excellent 🎶
lost my words. mind blowing
brilliant
How did I not find this until now, its brilliant and very well put together. Are those standard Parkside/Dundas tipper wagons? If so how do you get them to work so well?
Yea; small RC cars are the new hype of train layouts.
Yes, they are now- but there wasn't much around in 2011 when I did this!
---wirklich ein Kunstwerk ---
That is amazing
Amazing, Awesome, Splendid.
Sehr schöner film hat mir sehr gefallen weiter so
Love the music.
That's really nice !! the RC truck is great the scale too its all done very nicely the music is OK too can't get everything perfect the only thing that mine run coal (not crushed and screened ) is going to beat up the bottom of the truck bed badly I guess the buyer got a good deal on it having to break it up quite a bit to make it a usable size for his stove or forge ? well a forge does this yard sell coke too ??

Nice done :)
The graphics look so real.......
So comfy.
Thank you very inspirational
Amazing!
