Really well done mate, just looks fantastic. Such a transformation from the start. All the soldiers and little bits of deital everywhere just makes it a great and memorable layout. Nice to see some new rolling stock and also the old stock weathered looks great. Also the weathering on the vehicle's looks brilliant. Even better it was done in time for the show. You deserve a massive round of applause. Well done. ;-) Cheers Joe
Thanks ever so much Joe! Glad you think so :) The Weathered stock is the first of a rake of those new Bachmann WD D Class Bogie Wagons. They are just superb! The weathering really makes them fit in well, just need to do the rest of the stock like them now ;)
Looks absolutely amazing and don't quite know where to start!! Loving the choice of music and everything plus will look even better once all the stock is weathered up. Good luck with the show!!!
Thanks ever so much indeed mate! Still can't believe how it's all turned out. Oh yes, stock will certainly be weathered up at a later date :) Don't want to rush it for the show at the weekend, as like the layout I want to take my time on with it. Fingers crossed :)
Thanks ever so much Mike! Glad you enjoyed those shots. Was amazed how close I managed to get some of the angles to the ones I filmed at the start of the project :) Fingers crossed, getting a bit worried to be honest :p
Callum, Splendid layout, and great to see it getting so much interest at the show. You had that room bottle-necked, with the enthusiasm that you and your team showed for the exhibit. And the effects you have described in your videos worked so much better in reality; the mud looked most impressive! Congratulations!
Thanks ever so much Tom! Great to see you again, sorry it was a bit brief. Was amazed by how much interest it got! Glad you think it looks even better in the flesh! Was worried it might be the latter ;)
Thanks ever so much indeed mate! Glad you like it! Over the moon with how it's turned out so far :) Just got to hope it's first outing at the weekend goes well :p
Brilliant Callum, Love the scenics! I especially liked the before and after shots, Really shows how much you have achieved in a small time. Great to see it running. Good luck with the show! Cheers, Michael
Thanks ever so much Michael! Glad you like it! Think it's worked out at about 9 months so far for the build. Oh yes, fingers crossed. A bit worried about it, just hope it all works properly on the day :)
Absolulutely fantastic! Such a well modelled piece. I really like the before and after shots here. From the landscaping to the work on the locos..the atmosphere. Very impressive work, mate :))
Thanks ever so much Tom! Glad you like it. Oh yes, was really please how close I manged shots, to the ones I filmed at the beginning of the project :) Just need to weather the stock now ;)
Met you at Thornbury & South Gloucestershire Model Railway Exhibition on 17/11/2018 Callum and I was much impressed with the exhibit, a first class and interesting work in a small area. Keep up the good work! Steve
Like wise! Really was a superb show indeed! Just editing a few videos together now, including a little one of Cato Pass. Was amazing to see it in the flesh/rock/metal ;)
I'm sure it will be fine. By the way, do you mind if I use some of your clips taken at my show (West Camel) in a video that I'm putting together. I will of course credit you for there use. It's about how to stage a model railway show. Regards Charlie
Thanks ever so much mate! Still not 100% complete yet, but when is a layout ever finished ;) Will try my best to get some filming done at the show, but will have to see how much time I have operating it :)
Hi, I am part way through a Great War layout. I am modelling more the war stuff than the locos as I am very new to model railways. In fact I have only completed one Thomas layout this July but started collecting the parts for my layout months ago. I am modelling a Great War Casualty Clearing Station and so have 00 and 009 scales. It is based on a real hospital in a village at the time they were actually there. I served in the Royal Army Medical Corps so it is important I get that bit right. I am yet to post videos but I have been taking photos as I go along and watched lots of terrain videos from the Terrain Tutor and railway from Everard Junction. Some of the vehicles and soldiers you have will also feature on mine but I am doing a 5 ft by 3 ft board as that is the largest I can fit in my car. I am also doing an exhibition board as I give talks to British Legions on WWI and WWII and I think they will be interested in this too. I will watch your collection of videos. Good job. PS I have subbed :) One thing I have found is that I keep changing my mind as the layout develops and have been adding things which is slowing it's progress.
Well done Callum. And yes the time step scenes really show the progress. Very impressed. Are the wagons all Roco? The skip wagons are great...there must be a few quids worth om that line up.
Thanks ever so much! Glad you enjoyed it. The tippers are made by Minitrains, though they are to the same moldings as the Roco ones. I dare think how much it all is :p
I’m no expert on world war 1 (I only play Battlefield 1) ,but the whole premise of this is great. The Mk 3 tank (correct me if I’m wrong) and Little train looks awesome amongst the rest of the trench scenery.
Thanks ever so much mate! Oh yes, I'm a fan of BF1 too :) Glad you like the layout! The tank's a Mk1, and the one on the roads a Mk4. Many thanks indeed! :)
Hey, the one steam locomotive was from Borsig, a German locomotive. Some are still running in Weißwasser at the Waldeisenbahn Muskau, why do you show that it was an Allied locomotive?
A number were captured by the allied forces cover the course of the war and used to help out on the WDLR network, much like how the Germans used British and French tanks they captured. There's a great picture of one in a British workshop in for repairs.

Fabulous mate, loved the way you showed the evolution of this layout. Best of luck for the show

Great montage to your progress and the finished layout. One word BRILLIANT.

Really excellent seeing the progress, what you started with and what you ended with. Well done, Rob
Thanks ever so much Rob! Really has been quite the journey :) Hopefully all will go well at the show tomorrow :)

You should absolutely chuffed with that Callum ......great modelling.....inspirational ....regards Fred

It's amazing how far this layout has come in such a small space of time :) can't wait to see it at Weston. Keep the faith - callum
Thanks ever so much mate! See you there! (I've sadly not had time to wrap you gift if that's ok) :p
Ha! Yes that's fine. :)
Really cool Callum. Was great to see it for real at the show too. Laurie.
Like wise! Really was a superb show indeed! Just editing a few videos together now, including a little one of Cato Pass. Was amazing to see it in the flesh/rock/metal ;)
It's actually made a quadmagnesium an anti-grav compound that makes it easier to carry lol. If only. Laurie
Great stuff Callum and good luck on Sunday in Weston.
Thanks ever so much! Fingers crossed, getting a bit nervous I must admit :p
I'm sure it will be fine. By the way, do you mind if I use some of your clips taken at my show (West Camel) in a video that I'm putting together. I will of course credit you for there use. It's about how to stage a model railway show. Regards Charlie
Of course, let me know what you want
Don't worry Callum, I'll download it off of your video. Oh by the way, I've just uploaded the Polarod Cube+ video that I used in Frome.
I really I'm impressed with how it's turned out mate, a really sombre time for all.
Thanks ever so much mate! Still can't believe how it has turned out! Oh yes, hopefully visitors to the show will think that too
Congrats on competing it buddy
Can't wait to see it at the show
Thanks ever so much mate! Still not 100% complete yet, but when is a layout ever finished ;) Will try my best to get some filming done at the show, but will have to see how much time I have operating it :)

Best layout u hav done, easily
Thanks ever so much indeed mate! Just got the hope the first show goes well with it :p
Love it. I was thinking of doing something similar your videos are very inspirational!
Thanks ever so much! Glad you like it :)
Well done Callum. And yes the time step scenes really show the progress. Very impressed. Are the wagons all Roco? The skip wagons are great...there must be a few quids worth om that line up.
Thanks ever so much! Glad you enjoyed it. The tippers are made by Minitrains, though they are to the same moldings as the Roco ones. I dare think how much it all is :p
Can’t wait
Getting it ready for next weekend tomorrow :)
I’m no expert on world war 1 (I only play Battlefield 1) ,but the whole premise of this is great. The Mk 3 tank (correct me if I’m wrong) and Little train looks awesome amongst the rest of the trench scenery.

Not long now! Hope it goes well for you! :-)
Thanks ever so much Sam! Fingers crossed!

@@SDJR7F88 Yes, I found the picture, really cool, a funfact is that I come from Weißwasser and live only 500-700meters from the forest railroad away
