It is absolutely amazing! My grandad is actually one of Tony’s very good friends, and I have first hand received engines from him which include 4489 Dominion of Canada, 70000 Britannia and 70038 Robin Hood! My grandparents and I have been planning for months to see Tony, his wife and the layout. I can’t wait to run some of my own engines on such a famous layout! From Jack W
After a bit over two years I have come across this video, when I say that in the 1950s I regularly travelled with my granny in her Austin A30 to collect chicken food from the Ellis and Everard hut in the station yard, you will know how the memories come flooding back. The gentleman in charge of the little Ellis and Everard hut was, I think, Mr. Jack Sewell.
Thanks for this. After visiting the National Rail Museum in York I'm inspired to do an Oil painting of Mallard's 1938 run through Little Bytham at 123 mph (shortly to become 125.88 mph). I mostly do marine paintings but the visit just inspired me to do something that is out of my comfort zone. I hope you don't mind me using your layout of Little Bytham for the painting.
Thank-. Yet again thank-you.you to all concerned, truly a masterpiece, a great pleasure to watch. The track laying is the best I've ever seen, not a" MURMUR" as any of locos, stock or indeed anything traverse over the turnouts, truly a marvel. The buildings and the scenery are of a high standard and look very realistic . Then we come to the weathering of both locos and rolling stock ! First class, oh to easy to "over-do" or not knowing where the grime collects. Lastly weathering on buildings, easily overlooked, some amazing layouts look " altogether to new" on this front and therefore distracting from the whole
Amazing layout. Amazing modelling. It was Tony who inspired me to try brass kit building, and I have never looked back. Thankyou to all involved with Little Bytham and especially Tony who has given me so much confidence to try and succeed in my modelling.
A superb layout, and I love the variety of rolling stock, especially the shorter passenger trains (which some of us just about have space for) with their unusual combination of different coaches.
Takes me back to 1958-1960 and the hours the pre-teen me spent lineside at Hadley Wood. The trains weren't quite as frequent as shown here, but the long waits were worth it, as were the tellings-off from mum as once again I'd be late back for tea! Congratulations on a splendid work of art.
A really enjoyable layout to watch, good running quallities and a lot of nice kitbuilt locomotives, I had the LNER encyclopedia open on a separate tab to check out the rarer types running on the layout, like the sole K5, or J6 for instance.
27:49 - "Even though I've got between 30 and 40 trains that's nowhere near enough ..." I've tried to explain this to my wife but she just doesn't get it!!
Nice to see running at scale speed - fantastic layout! The coaching stock is among the best I've seen. One possible error is that the baby deltic was moving - I didn't think they did too much of that in the early days!
A fantastic layout and enjoyable to watch. The only thing I don't like is the tension lock couplings. I look forwards to seeing further updates as the layout progresses. Keep up the good work. All Best Dave
+Dave Gower I'm not a fan of tension locks either, I use 3 link and screw link on my stock for my exhibition layout I'm building. I think with Tony, he has got such large rakes it's the practicalities of replacing them all. Glad you enjoyed it.
Amazing layout. Fantastic to see all the trains from one era. All too often a good layout is spoiled by the operator having trains from wildly differing eras running at the same time.
Great video Tom of such a superb layout,brilliantly videoed mate and nice to see Tony. I've visited Wolverhampton model railway club a few times over the years very talented bunch. What are you doing these days Tom? Cheers Kev
+50A Works Ooh, going into the exhibition side are you? well best of luck for the layouts turnout. You must keep us posted on it soon. Also a great video as always, Tom.
great layout. saw you at the st albans show BUT forgot to ash you what is the measurements of your railway shed.and are their any plans of the layout . All the best mICK
Hi Len. Brits on the the Eastern Region were primarily based on the East Anglia services. East Coast Main Line motive power was primarily in the hands of the exLNER pacifics.
hi tony , a great layout, I was just wondering how large is your model railway shed ?I hope to start a model railway within the next 2 years and was hoping to build one 24 feet by 12 , in a shed, which is not built yet, ps how large is your layout ,regards , pat squires
Fantastic work. Really impressive. Proper speeds. Accurate to one period. Rusting and dirt and weathering amazingly well done. civilized ommentary. Couldn't be improved, I don't think. Thank you. The computer music though is very off-putting. Why does it need any kind of music?
This is brilliant but can you please get rid of the music if you do another. If I wanted music I would put on the radio. The sound of the layout is must better. Thank you.
So he didn't build any of the track, or any of the signals, or any of the buildings, or most of the scenery. Credit where credit's due but I get the impression that Tony provided little more than the idea and funds for this project. I hope I'm wrong as his book "Modelling the East Coast Main Line in the British Railways Era" is very insightful, albeit a bit snobbish when it comes to his opinions on non-prototypical layouts, but each to their own.

Such a fabulous and extremely realistic layout. 👍👍👍🍾
Without doubt the most realistic model railway scene that I have ever seen. It's incredibly realistic. Thanks.
What an outstanding gentleman- and what a pleasure it is just to listen to him speak. Most so just admiring his work.
some fabulous trains and carriages..wonderful stuff.
What a nice gentleman Thanks for filming and sharing this ongoing work. Clearly a good team of friends.

That's really quite beautiful, I was waiting for Claud Jeremiah Greengrass to drive his old green Leyland along one of the roads.
Amazing layout. Amazing modelling. It was Tony who inspired me to try brass kit building, and I have never looked back. Thankyou to all involved with Little Bytham and especially Tony who has given me so much confidence to try and succeed in my modelling.

A great way to spend half an hour, thanks for sharing your layout with us.
Great video ! Very nice layout ! Fantastic looking locos and rolingstock ! Love it ! Thanks very much for sharing ! Martin

Simply awe inspiring - wonderful.
Is it about time we had another visit and update on Little Bytham, please.

The track work is gorgeous. Great job and thank you for filming.
Wonderful video and train set Tony. :-) Great to see you on the little screen once more. Paddy
Your layout is looking great now Tony, with a lot more scenics finished.
Splendid video and a splendid layout. Thank you for showing it.
Great video and update from the original BRM one, Glad to see Tony looking well.
Congratulations Tom, and Tony et al; a delightful video, highly enjoyable and superbly presented! See you soon. Robert
Superb layout and trains to match, especially love the weathering detail!
Fantastic work, all credit to everyone on the build.

Thanks to tony & tom what a lovely layout, and a very well made video. thanks for sharing regards tony
Nice work Tom!
Fantastic video and layout. Thank you.

Love the track level photography. Nice layout.
As you say a stunning layout
nice work Tom :-D a great layout indeed good to see your still around tom

+50A Works Without being personal, how big it it? The layout that is!!!
Fantastic👍💯👍
Some of your thumbnails (cover pictures for the videos) are so realistic I have been fooled once or twice into thinking they were real life photos.
Can you thank Tony for saying"have a go" in one of his right track dvds. What I have done would make him proud.
I'll pass the comments on. :-)
I'd love to run my A1 on here! Greetings from the US!
EXCELENTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Kev
Doing something totally different, with my first exhibition layout...Western Region in Wales. :)
+50A Works Ooh, going into the exhibition side are you? well best of luck for the layouts turnout. You must keep us posted on it soon. Also a great video as always, Tom.

great layout. saw you at the st albans show BUT forgot to ash you what is the measurements of your railway shed.and are their any plans of the layout .
All the best mICK
I’m a bit surprised that we don’t see more ‘ Britannia’s ‘ heading up the passenger services. We’re there not many used on this route at that time ?
Hi Len. Brits on the the Eastern Region were primarily based on the East Anglia services. East Coast Main Line motive power was primarily in the hands of the exLNER pacifics.
Tom's RWS Modelling - Thanks for your reply - appreciated.
hi tony , a great layout, I was just wondering how large is your model railway shed ?I hope to start a model railway within the next 2 years and was hoping to build one 24 feet by 12 , in a shed, which is not built yet, ps how large is your layout ,regards , pat squires
Top draw!
Nice train set.
When the 9F went past the station and the B1 reversing into the goods yard, which of Kevin Macleod's tracks did you use?
I vow to thee my country.
@@impostorsmith3417 doesn't sound like that...
@@benscott8782 Well, it is. Try this link ruclips.net/video/o6ZvylOSy5A/видео.html
@@impostorsmith3417 You don't know what the music track at 17:15 is..., do you?
@@benscott8782 Sorry Ben, I don't know it.
I notice that your fish train includes two vans tacked on behind the brake van. Was that a common prototypical practice?
Hello, not mine but Tony's. Yes it was, as the train will be separated at some point and be formed into separate trains.
Fantastic work. Really impressive. Proper speeds. Accurate to one period. Rusting and dirt and weathering amazingly well done. civilized ommentary. Couldn't be improved, I don't think. Thank you.
The computer music though is very off-putting. Why does it need any kind of music?
Great film, but had to mute it because of the annoying computer music.
When the 9F went past the station at 17:15 and the B1 reversing into the goods yard, which of Kevin Macleod's tracks does anyone here recognize?
What couplings do you use?
This is brilliant but can you please get rid of the music if you do another. If I wanted music I would put on the radio. The sound of the layout is must better. Thank you.
Not sooo much into the aesthetics, However the running speeds are very well considered, Nothing worse imo than trains moving far to fast. Well done!
So he didn't build any of the track, or any of the signals, or any of the buildings, or most of the scenery. Credit where credit's due but I get the impression that Tony provided little more than the idea and funds for this project. I hope I'm wrong as his book "Modelling the East Coast Main Line in the British Railways Era" is very insightful, albeit a bit snobbish when it comes to his opinions on non-prototypical layouts, but each to their own.
99% of locomotives and coaching stock were built by Tony.
This guy brings humility to a new and over done level of annoyance, nice train set though!
Lovely video & a superb model but Tony do something about your habit of periodically waving your arms about, it's distracting.
