  • 7mm (1:43 scale) layout featuring standard and narrow gauge, with radio controlled truck. Winner of Best 7mm Layout at Warley and many others. Built by Giles Favell in 2011/12, this shows the first of many radio control vehicles - lorries, vans cranes, traction engine and cars, that I have now built in this scale. There will be a book out on building these small scale R/C vehicles in the near future.
    Please check my other videos if you are interested.

    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

    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.

      @750voltsdc3 4 года назад +9

      @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?

    • @onamission8397
      @onamission8397 4 года назад +1

      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 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.
