hola ted ,soy de argentina te quería preguntar que escala son esta locomotoras y si son producción artesanal , y si conoces alguna pagina de Internet que permitan construir locomotoras de este estilo. gracias nos vemos
No, Austin, the trains in this video were made by others. This video was made during an exhibition in England. I do build similar trains myself but they are featured in other videos.
Thanks for the video. Many wonderful layouts. One thing kept irritating me though: on many of the wonderfully detailed layouts, the driving behaviour of the trains is bad. They stop/start instantly. Some of the layouts show the driving characteristics of those large unrealistic exhibition layouts where trains stop within half a second from 120km/h to 0 for a danger signal. The only redeeming quality is that the narrow gauge top speed is so low, so you only go from 10km/h to 0 in half a second :-) Still, once you're used to the driving characteristics of even the most basic digital decoders with their build-in electronic inertia... then the driving characteristics of these layouts is out of proportion with their looks.

I agree the running can be improved in a few cases. Some of that must be due to exhibition conditions - operators being distracted, dust on the track etc. I have operated trains at exhibitions myself and apart from running trains you are continuously talking to visitors. So sometimes you forget about slow operation. The answer to prototypical running isn't necessarily digital operation. There are excellent analogue controllers available, and the key is always the quality of the locomotive itself.
Ted Polet The few times I've seen your layout at exhibitions, you ran everything just fine with nice slow braking, so it can be done all in analog just fine. There are analog controllers that'll handle the inertia for you, so no need to go digital just for the inertia. It is just that even my kids drive realistically because I've set the max speed and the inertia. So with some cheap decoders and some settings I've made realistic driving the default behavior. (They haven't figured out yet that you can switch off the inertia by pressing "4" :-) ). In contrast, some of the layouts in the video looked like they just flipped a switch to remove the current from that rail section. Anyway, I didn't mean to be too negative. I'm very impressed by the way many of these layouts look. Fabulous! Reinout
Quelle finesse dans les moindres détails! C,est magistral! Bravo messieurs les Anglais! Respect.
I'm a huge fan of Pentewan (I really don't know why though!). Thank you very much for sharing this footage with us.
Very inspirational. Thank you, Ted
after seeing the video of this train layout it's really cool and really good ..
Nice work! Really like the plants and rocks in the scenery.
Wonderful stuff. Thank you Ted Polet. I've seen a lots of your vids and they're all good. Nice close-ups and down on the ground level shots.
nice production my favorite has to be theobalds yard i like industrial layouts hi 5 from canada
Muchas gracias, Guillermo.
Hallo Ted sehr gut besonders gefallen mir die kleinen loks und wagen !

Esta muy bueno el video
you are dutch?
theobalds yard is a ten out of ten
Would anyone happen to know what scale these are?
Guessing that it's On30 gauge
The trolls have no operators or passengers. Hmmm....
