I have to say, kudos for showing Loft City Central. The other layouts are gorgeous, and some serious work has gone into them, but it's nice to see that the hobby isn't so stuffy that there is still some room for a bit of unapologetic fun.
First time watching one your videos. Great video brilliantly made. I tried to see all the layouts at Warley and thought I achieved it until watched this. How did I miss the Welsh 009 one. Fantastic
It's always interesting seeing US based layouts at UK shows, it's like looking into a slightly-off parallel universe with an "interpretation" of US railroading. And I'm sure UK folk get the same feeling looking at UK layouts at American shows!
Love the video Lawrie, I saw some on this video I didn't see when I went on Saturday of Warley. Shame you and your team missed the live steam and the Lynton and Barnstaple modular model railway with the narrow guage pacer!!!
Sorry to miss you - I only got a bit of Sunday. We got bits of the oo live steam and the modular, but we've seen them in other videos, so thought I would keep run time down. The Pacer is brilliant
Hi to all the crew at LMM It was an honour to meet and also interview one of my fav youtubers and to find out so much of what you are all doing and have plans for in the futuer. Yet another great video from yourselves. I wish you all the best of luck on your model railway build and so look forward to seeing it at its first exhibition which i forget were you said it will be. And lastly wow i cant believe i am actually on your video many thanks for that was a shock to see that. peter from the warley model railway club and chelsmwood junction.
I was keeping a eye out for you at the show between helping run the Dawlish Warren layout (also a lockdown project and a layout that leaves its owners home) and looking around the show at layouts and shiny models. Only noticed you just before lights out on the Hornby stand on my way out, as I couldn't stay for layout take down due to no hi vis and not on the elf and safety list to do it.
Watched this with subtitles. Love when it says 'MUSIC' when you hear steam engines. The other chortle was when a sound fitted Class 37 went past and under the bridge.....it said !!!!!!!!!!!!LAUGHTER!!!!!!!!!! Growler perhaps, but it made me laugh!!!
I wish I could have gone there to meet you in person I only live around the corner from the NEC but didn't have time hopefully next year I will make and I hope to meet you there this was an amazing video
Hi Lawrie, So without you knowing it you seem to feature a lot of kit built items that my Dad either made the patterns for, or the injection moulds, which is so cool. At 00:40 The Baldwin 4-6-0 my Dad produced and sold to Wrightlines. 01:19 if this layout is 4mm high possibility thats my Dads Kit for a pigeon van at end of train, 07:15 all four Wagons in the sidings behind the red engine are my Dads kits, 08:00 the little black loco outside the shed is again one of my Dads. There is probably a lot more in there, my Dad under the company name Chivers Finelines (which I now run) produced a lot of products and its nice to see them in the wild. Your comments regarding the sound fitted steam locos is spot on, it seems to be lacking something, steam locos have a lot more bass in the sound, and these model versions seem to be full of treble, where as the diesel sounds are much less on the treble. All the best, Matt. 👍
Oh that's really cool! As you said, good to see them in the wild. Yeah, it's a too digital sound, steam is so very varied depending on what the engine is doing.
One of the traditions I started in order to keep my young nephew entertained while train chasing was to shout, "SASKATCHEWAN!!", whenever one of those cylindrical grain hoppers went by in a train. More than one in a row was either, "SASKATCHEWAN!" "SASKATCHEWAN!" or SASKATCHEWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!", your choice 😁 Solent Summit 44:06
I feel like pointing out that at Annascul, the red steam engine and it's train are from the Clogher Valley Railway, which is the other end of the country! No idea what the railcar was based on, although the colours look like County Donegal, even further north! Not meant as criticism, I'd do the same if it were my layout! Just thought it might be interesting.
When I think of it, did you know there is one surviving engine from the Tralee and Dingle? Went north, then across the Atlantic before being returned to old stomping grounds. Not in a great shape or circumstances now from what I know.
I have no idea, I'm just reading from the blurb. That said I filmed from the end of day two where sometimes people just start running other bits and bobs. Yes, there are always rumblings of a preservation movement and restoration, but nothing yet.
You've got some digital image stabilisation going on, and I really shouldn't be able to notice that. 3:35, the overhead gantry is sliding around the frame. Try a gimbal to elimiate those jitters
The first video I have had to skip due to ads....three 50 second ads and a 20 second one and I wasn't half way through the video. Too frustrating so I gave up
Wish I knew you were at Warley, as I would have come and said Hi to you
Wouldn't that have been nice
I like that, the Barnwood
It's very good!

It's fun isn't it - same as the Hornby O stuff.
Just running toy trains.
LMM amazing video 👍 well done to everyone involved
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the nice comments on our Solent Summit layout!
I thought it was super! Would love to do a video having a proper look at it
@@lmm we'll be at Ally Pally in April, with some other modules as well.
Good video, like
Thank you
Whoohoo! :D
I concur

Hope you enjoy some of the other stuff we do!
Ooooooh model trains.
Lots of them!
It's always interesting seeing US based layouts at UK shows, it's like looking into a slightly-off parallel universe with an "interpretation" of US railroading. And I'm sure UK folk get the same feeling looking at UK layouts at American shows!
That's a lot of modelling though, it's an interpretation.
Was volunteering on the EMF stand on the Saturday - was keeping an eye peeled for you!
Sorry, was only there Sunday afternoon!
Love the video Lawrie, I saw some on this video I didn't see when I went on Saturday of Warley. Shame you and your team missed the live steam and the Lynton and Barnstaple modular model railway with the narrow guage pacer!!!

The Pacer is brilliant
I also flew home for Warley, from Bergen in Norway, admittedly the day before, not the same day.
That's a better way of doing it
Nice to see the other side of the pond. It looks very different to me. That CP layout is like western Canada. We're a lot flatter here in the east😊
I know the Rockies, and it's cold up North.
Hi to all the crew at LMM

peter from the warley model railway club and chelsmwood junction.
Great to meet you too!
Great fun being interviewed!
Hopefully it'll be at Statfold - if all goes well.
If that Ruston 44 is compatible with Ho Gauge I'm 100% picking it up when I got funds.
They use the same track so maybe
The heljan one is O guage, so afraid not.
@@lmm ah well, Heljan make good diesels so I imagine it’ll be good for whoever does O Gauge.

Should have grabbed me on the way out!
@lmm I saw you were busy talking to the guys from Hornby so didn't want to disturb you.

cool vid thanks lee
You're welcome!
Nice Video!
Thank you very much
Good to see Hillport Goods.
Named after the area in Arnold Bennett's 5 Towns books. The real place is right next to where I live!
Oh really?

Show was brilliant, I was looking out for you but didn't manage to catch you. My bank account thought it was less brilliant, I came back £320 lighter.
I saw Lawrie literally just as the show closed and the lights went out to signal to the public disappear before they took the stands and layouts down.
Sorry! Hopefully next time?

That's a great idea. Makes it fun!
I thought I saw you there... But I was too busy driving one of the layouts to say hi properly... that and crippling shyness :/
Oh sorry!
Which were you on?
Hopefully see you at another show
@@lmm I was operating Freshwater, a 2mm finescale layout of the Isle of Wight Freshwater station from the early 1950s.
@@killakanzgaming oh o only got q very quick look at it!
Looks lovely though!
I didn't make Warley this year. Not enough ready cash I'll be saving for next year though.
It was a good show!

It was that or an unusable clip.
Looks like lots of fun! Just curious, you said you drove a Y7, but I can’t find a video on it, was that before you started RUclips?
I've not filmed with it, it's based at the MSLR where I volunteer, when it was in ticket it was one of my regular engines.
@@lmm cool!
I saw your friends but I didn’t see you 😢😢
There was quite the gang in Merch!
Ah i was there on the saturday what day did you got lawrie?
He went sunday
I was just there for Sunday afternoon
Mmmmmmm well that's a treck
