Model Railway videos from York Model Railway Show 2018. Part 1 of 5. Layouts on show: Euxton Junction - Tanners Hill - Heworth Sidings - Franwood TMD - Canalside Ironworks
As an American modeler of HO, OO (as of 2015 and much gratitude to the British modellers) and O scales, I can't reiterate this point enough just how amazing your railway modeling is in the UK, the sheer influence it has on I hope many of us here in the United States (definitely me), and the absolute beauty of your prototype railway network. I own a Virgin Pendolino Class 390, Virgin Super Voyager Class 221, Desiro Apollo Link Class 350 and my favourite OO-gauge set, the London Underground S-Stock. I wish that I had the room for a modular layout modeled after an area of the UK to run my OO-gauge sets with the prototypical layout sceneries. I just LOVE these videos of the various gauge layouts with the utterly amazing and beautiful track work and sceneries. Bravo to the British modellers and the prototype railway network that influences the modellers!
Crikey!! The doors have hardly shut and you're already posting videos of the show!!! Superb quality production as always, and some really great layouts. Cheers, Bob
Hello Model Minutes, thanks for taking the time to watch and share your comments. Hopefully you will get the chance to go to this great show at some point in the future. Thanks again. dcc125
7:40 Gotta love the traffic lights there. I'd stick some hazard lights in the coach though to add a bit of reason to the traffic being halted. There are some cracking layouts there. 13:50 that view is just brilliant with those huge rakes snaking along. I wonder what the drama was about! (Listen carefully)
I really enjoyed this video, when tow locos are coupled together is power given to both or does one pull and the other one is following? Also is that the same when their is a loco at each end of the train? Thanks.
999 Lensman when there two engine at the front powers is given to both. when there a engine at both ends ( inter 125 ) one has power and the other is a dummy engine. There nothing inside it just like a carriage
I live in Dunblane, and have view of the station from my window, and I must say, the trains shown here in the first scene look frighteningly similar to what I see, just swap the Pendolinos and Voyagers for a Virgin HST and change that 156 to a Scotrail one, and they are pretty much 100% identical.
Hello at C.Neale unfortunately I do not know what the wagon is used at 10:30 either and I've tried to find out who owns the layout its on, but cannot find this info either. Apologies for not helping. Regards Jason
Euxton Junc = "Roundy roundy" virtually no operational potential, just a trickle of slow moving trains. Tanners Hill = Another "roundy roundy" no operational signals. Toy train couplings. Heworth sidings= "Roundy roundy" again, nothing appears to use the crossovers or sidings ! Catenary masts but no wire ! Toy train couplings ! Franwood TMD = Commercial pointwork on a Locoshed layout doesn't help smooth operation ! The pointwork would also be hand operated in real life, so where are the point levers ! Canalside Ironworks = Nice Diorama, but nothing more !!! 30 years ago I had N gauge mainline exhibition layouts with fully operational and powered catenary. Fully operational signalling using track circuits as per the real railway. Real life type working couplings both Buckeye and Scharfenburg types (from TOMIX) and handbuilt pointwork to get more realistic radii and smoother operation. All these items were also available in OO 30 years ago. So what's gone wrong? British model railways appear to have become just pretty looking "Toy train sets" with virtually everything out of the packet. And as for DCC control, this seems to encourage operational stupidity and childish and often inaccurate (and against the real railway Rule book) electronic gimmicks. Seems I left Britain just in time.

very awesome dear friend really...

Enjoyed the video. 👍 As to an earlier comment, don’t just look at the trains. The scenic modeling is brilliant, 👌👍
Some excellent layouts at this show! Hopefully I'll be able to get to a show again one day!

Really good video, loved the NSE layout
A virgin Atlantic
Terrific layouts in episode 1. Thanks for sharing. Paul
Thanks Galgorm Hall for taking the time to comment and watch the videos, it is appreciated by me. Regards dcc125
Amazing modeling work.

JESSUS THIS IS SICK WELL DONE!!!
Really wonderful part 1.
I enjoyed it very much. Cheers

Great
WOW

What’s that wagon used for at 10:30?

Lots of trains crawling along at a snails pace. Booooooooring.
jason hardy I know it’s your opinion that it’s ‘booooooooring’ but why did you what even watch this video...?

Mr. Moneybags over here. Move along old man.
We will certainly miss your positivity.
