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 👍👍
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 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.
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.
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 ??
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?
This is a really amazing layout and operation, very cleverly worked and superbly modelled. I have come here from seeing the magazine “Radio Control for Model Railways”. I’m sure it would’ve appeared in modelling magazines like BRM, can you please advise which ones? Many thanks.
Surely.... BRM March 2015, Model Rail No 181 Spring 2013, with various articles in the MRJ and NG&IRM on the vehicles. I also wrote a book on building the vehicles for White Swan, 'Trains, Cranes and Automobiles '

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!
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.
Well done. Absolutely one of the best things I've seen on a layout. Some thought definitely went behind this. Two thumbs up. 👍👍
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!
Absolutely stunning! A deserved winner
Ubelievable craftsmanship has gone into this...simple but so evocative of that time..simply amazing
It simply doesn't get any better than this. Great job!
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
Not sure what i just watched... , but it was delightful, hypnotic, and just what was needed in these hectic times. Thank you :)
I love the little NG Lister. Exceptional modeling
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.
Captures the era magniificently with this music and slow action....
Probably the best layout for realism I've seen!
Probably one of the best layouts I'v ever seen. A big well done!!! :-D
Incredible! One of the finest layouts I've seen on RUclips! Well done!
When good is good enough on 1:43 scale. Smooth indeed.
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!!!
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 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.

The truck surprised me. Very well made. Enjoyed it.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening. Very well done sir.
Delightful! A very skillfully created scenario,
You sir deserve a gold medal for best layout!
I didn't know that something like this was possible now let alone 7 years ago. Just wow.
Incredibly beautiful, satisfying and somewhat soothing video! THANKS!
Hello
This is an amazing Layout thank you for sharing with us
Stay healthy
wow, what a beautiful layout, congrats! 🚂👏
Wonderful, lovely action, nice and slow, I like that very much!
Incredible!! Beautiful work!
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 👍👍
Quite intricate models...realistic looks..wonderful !
Giles. I so much enjoyed this.
You are a true watch maker and engineer.
Simply the best!
The best I have ever ever seen.
Pete ( narrowminded )
Well most of your viewers said it all. Simply Beautiful!
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!
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.
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.
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!
Nicely done!! Super-Sweet little layout!
Such an odd railroad but so soothing and calming
THANK YOU...for sharing. Very much enjoyed.
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
Amazing! Would've loved to seen some close-ups of the action, especially the coal tipping mechanisms.
Wonderful Video!
This is unreal! Fantastic and genius....
I liked the music and the animation. Good job!
Love the video, music and layout. Top job
This is super stunning, love it
Very nicely done. The music is perfect. I keep expecting to see a monolith, however.
Great work, great video!!
Amazing job
c'est incroyablement magnifique !!! je n'ai qu'un mot : bravo !!
love this layout
Excellent ( model and music both).
stunning! well done.
Really well done a joy to watch.
Wow modelling at its best.
Very good video.
Good work! 👌
Mighty impressive!
Truly stunning, have subscribed also!
Superb - thank you for sharing
This is too Cool! Enjoyed it
Beautiful layout!
Was that a RC truck too?? Very clever!!!

And I like that you really take your time in the video.
A masterpiece! Chef d'ouvre!

Just wonderful
Wow...just, wow!
excellent work! Aplauses
That is superb.
Cottage industry coal mine, perfect for a model railroad!
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?
Stunning
Just brilliant! 🙂
fantastic
Outstanding :)
All I can say is W O W..... really great.....
the music from 2000 a space odyesey and a lovely layout.
Which itself is The Blue Danube waltz by Johann Strauss.
lost my words. mind blowing
brilliant
This is a really amazing layout and operation, very cleverly worked and superbly modelled. I have come here from seeing the magazine “Radio Control for Model Railways”. I’m sure it would’ve appeared in modelling magazines like BRM, can you please advise which ones?

@@gilesengineer Thank you very much. I will endeavour to track them down.
joy to watch
PerfeKt! Ganz große Kunst.
Man this one really made me emotional now I feel like crying.
The graphics look so real.......
Love the music.
