I love these retro layouts using vintage stock and modelling practices. It takes me back to my youth, as did your initial pronunciation of Dublo. Ever since I was a boy I also pronounced it do-blo instead of dub-lo and still do; it's a hard habit to break 🙂
Wonderful ' Hornby Dublo 3 rail. Takes me back several decades. A bit more electrical control.than my grey transformers.as they were called. The Art Deco station building is modelled on West Allerton Station which is on the Liverpool - London route. From Liverpool Lime Street - there are 4 lines , or used to be, up till Ditton Junction.. Edge Hill ( think George Stephenson - William Huskisson 🤔) then Mossley Hill then West Allerton. Past Edge Hill Engine Sheds ( long gone ) with a spur to Garston. In between Edge Hill Station and Mossley Hill the line passes under Penny Lane - think Fab 4 ! Great video.
That's maybe one of the biggest Dublo lay-outs I've ever seen. Fantastic. Were you like a kid in a sweet shop or not. A fair amount of work to do right enough. Having a Triang P50(?) controller here, I know that I need to change the power cable on it so could you consider asking his Lordship if you can re-wire the old controllers mains cables as I'm sure they'll be the old rubber insulated stuff too? There again, if it isn't broken leave well alone. Ah, a fantastic scene indeed. Thanks to Lord O'Neil and to yourselves for letting us see such a wonderful set-up. All the best Mark. Cheers!
What a lovely collection being put to its original use. I would love a layout like that. Is it on public display or any open days? Still making wee lads like us happy! Ian

That’s a lovely layout, vintage but still lovely.
