Whether the doors open or not, this is a beautifully made layout. London Transport is Dead; Long Live London Transport, the people's public system!!! Down with so-called Public-Private Partnerships; a pox on the globalizers! thanks for doing such a grest job.
@amtrc - London Underground actually has four rails - two running rails, the live supply rail outside the running rails (left or right side), and the return conductor rail in the middle. The modeller has replicated this in miniature.
they used to be able to get them from the model shop in harrow they use to make them but they have long since gone. google it and im sure you will find them
@MCTurbostar - what?!? HO and OO are both 16.5mm gauge - usually both Code 100 rail (0.100" tall). Sure the scale of the rollingstock is larger in OO, but the rails aren't unless you're going down to Code 83 or 70.
Everything is great but where is the day model trains will move more realistically? This is one of the best I've seen (this was uploaded 2006!) although I know things are getting better for stopping and starting trains.
@JBofBrisbane - Interesting, haven't touched model railways for a couple of years but have a few Bachmann models which are definitely closer to the mark. Was even thinking of mods with lower powered motors or something, because even at full controller power it would be an equivalent to 200+mph! It's just not real. Also with starting you may get a stutter or two (need a better controller tbh). Something to work on anyhow. Flywheels (which Bachs have already?) seems a good tip. Cheers
i disagree they look like the kits from harrow model shop made from white metal and are very fiddley to make sadly the model shop in harrow is now close down so i dont know where to get them from
Simply stunning! Never seen anything as authentic or nostalgic.
Oh my god that layout is amazing and now I am building my own one because of it!!!
This is exactly the kind of Metroland I am aiming for (though I doubt it'd be this stunning). Bravo all!

That is brill on how the creators made a station that goes underground!
This is top of London Transport vision. That is very awesome!!!
Excellent layout! Very enjoyable to watch.

I swear I remember watching this on a Model Railway DVD. Sadly the description doesn't mention anything about the origins of this video.
Love the standard stock
Nice layout very interesting
This is a gem! Thanks for posting it.
wonderful.
Superb layout and very authentic looking - I did recognise elements of Harrow on the Hill :o)
Love the fiddle yard idea = must try to make one of those = great

Very interesting informat for London Underground of the classics.
Amazing!! Absolutely Amazing.
@Oscarell - HO scale is 1:87, OO scale is 1:76.2. Track gauge for both is 16.5mm.
HO model would be 7/8 the size of a OO model of the same item.
great layout,excellent modeling
What a lovely layout.Thanks for posting this vid
The 'cassette' system is ingenious.
Beautiful layout!
Brilliant!
Excellant layout. Is it open to public viewing anytime?

Very nice. Just to let you know. Bachmann UK has released a 57xx Pannier shunter in London Transport livery
Awsome A stock trains!!!

Было бы здорово, если бы в Лондоне восстановили двухэтажный трамвай!
Excellent (5*)
Trams Are Tops!

Is this layout still on the exhibition circuit?
was this in railway modeler?
The guy that made this is a genius, it's a shame he died though :(

@LikeMindedIncident - you need to look at American models - flywheels make the difference.
@daleksec53 wrong one mate its a mix of stations
were did he get them trains!?!?
You Don't See This Set Often, Its Always Abbey Road.
realstic,but no new trains!
