- The Model Railway Story: From Hornby to Triang and beyond, this documentary explores how the British have been in love with model railways for more than a century. What began as an adult obsession with building fully-engineered replicas became the iconic toy of 1950s and 60s childhood. With unique archive and contributions from modellers such as Pete Waterman, this is a celebration of the joys of miniaturisation. Just don't call them toy trains.
My dad had a Horby Dublo set and he was very much working class - son of a South Yorkshire coalminer. I still own the set although I haven't seen it for years - it's in the loft somewhere along with a bunch of my own childhood toys. Maybe I'll get round to getting it out and setting it up one day.
Did you get it out?
Superb documentary, my hobby taken seriously but with great enjoyment.
I like trains of every country!
I remember my Triang Rovex TT set
Mallard. 75th Anniversary at Carlisle. Gresley s " Union of South Africa " and Duchess of Sutherland on parade. excursions.and met at Carlisle. ( Citadel).Great cheering at Wheelspin.
Carlisle station built by the Caledonian Railway . Similar looking to Perth.
Nice part 3.
ironically a old triang set will cost you as much as a expert level locomotive even if the thing has been rode hard and put away wet
Anyone here ever heard of ever heard of Lionel? They’re an american toy company that made model trains and such as well.
There founder I forgot his name had a love of engineering much like Frank.Hornby.
Several Lionel trains have become sought after collector items like the Banker’s special or a personal favorite of mine the Black diamond.
"The aim is too make British railways the best in the world." AKA kill as many steam locos as they can.
3:34 it's puffa reborn like if you get the reference
Gordon? **Gordon's theme in the Alec Baldwin era starts playing**
Inaccurate when it was quoted that when the Mallard in 1938 broke the 126 mph barrier cars were traveling at "15 -20 mph" actually Rudolf Caracciola's was logged in his Mercedes Benz at 268 mph albeit it was not a road car but it was set on a public highway unlike Cambell's Bluebird that did 300 mph 3 years before on the salt flats...... but saying all that the Mallards speed was the force of steam not chemical combustion so its got my vote!!!
Although the 3rd Reich built motorways/ autobahn,s. they apparently got the idea from the dual carriageway around Winchester.
In the Cold War era W German Autobahns had dual width straight sections which could be used for landing / takeoff for combat aircraft for dispersal. The USAF Starfighter being one such combat aircraft.
10:25 ...and who's running the other car that made it across the tracks?
I am still in morning stem steam age and the loss of 90099 my loco
Good documentary, but calling Trix Express, what you brits call Trix Twin relatively crude..........is just too much for a Trix Express owner....;)
And more realistic looking than the Trix, well true for the pre-war versions, but certainly not for the after-war Trix Express.
And quite funny given that the 1:86 of H0 scale is more correct than Hornby's 00 1:76 scale.
That bashing german model railways was part of the times then is clear, but why are the good german ones simply dismissed?
It's called History of Model Railway not History of British model railway.
Trix was the company who pioneered that you could control two trains on one layout, no mention of it being a landmark achievement was made.
That one-upmanship should be a thing of the past, especially in gricing, Railway preservation and scale modeling, we are united in hobby and spirit, why do the media companies always try portray that as split.
The scale of 1:76 is bang on (25.4 x 12 /76) is 4.0105. Now if you want to talk about GAUGE.
The original problem for British modelling was simply that even at 3.5/ft there wasn't enough room for the motor/mechanics (made with the materials and precision then available) to fit within the loading gauge, even at 4mm/ft it was difficult to accomodate outsde framed locomotives hence the reduction in gauge. Obviousl nothing will now change (4mm 18.83 looks very good though) but for DR/DB outline how about a KM1 01, now that's a loc!
7:03 LOOK AT THAT FREAK WITH 5 FINGERS AND A THUMB!
What was that comment about " piddling little branch lines " and therefore needing Diesels to update.our system.
Locomotive designers like Gresley and Stannier and Bulleid for example.
What about Express trains, for example, like the Red Rose from Liverpool Lime Street to London Euston. Come on.😮
And don't forget Beechings random cuts - and his pal the Minister of Transport Ernest Marples, of Marples and Ridgeway who built motorways. 😮 .
The North West of England had more Motorways in PM Harold Wilsons constituency than the 3rd Reich.
On some motorway bridges there had been painted " Marples must go ". Well he did - he fled to his Villa at Cap d'Antibes with his money and unpaid taxes.
@9:24 kinda close dont u think lol
Why do the British videos end in the middle of a paragraph? Where are the second halves?
