Superb viewing of a creation that is more than a railway layout. Every stone of it speaks West Riding and so does the selection of industries around the station. I liked the comment about the painted lintel. I live in a 250 year old stone cottage, built when the town in the West Country in which I live had a woollen and silk industry of its own. The Industrial Revolution put paid to that, the jobs disappeared and moved to among other places West Yorkshire which had bigger and faster flowing rivers and STEAM. When I bought the house twenty years ago the survey included the stern injunction that the lintels above the doors and windows should be painted regularly. They are not stone, but oak. I believe that timber from ordinary houses of that era was often taken from old ships, as the usable wood was often carefully recycled when the ship was scrapped.
The loss of a railway modeller is always sad news. More so Dave Shakespeare,whose modelling was a great inspiration to me and so many other modellers. Condolences to Daves wife and family.
Absolutely fantastic layout, I remember seeing this quite a few years ago in a modelling magazine & it just blew me away, the skill & dedication given to create something so realistic & lifelike is just beyond me, RIP to a creator of something really special, rest peacefully Dave
OMG, this is just stunning; magnificent! The weathering on all the buildings, bridges, and all the attention to detail is either massively inspiring or heartbreaking; because I can see that all my efforts would fall short of perfection... I am astounded and humbled by seeing this.
I have watched this twice now and I must say what a wonderful balance of both weathered locos and scenery alike, and yes as was so eloquently phrased nothing looks as if it does not belong. This has been an inspiration for my 0 gauge layout many thanks
It's sometimes hard to quantify when the hobby goes from a train set/playing trains to an art form, but this has definitely crossed into the latter category! The realism of the masses of stonework alone is breathtaking.
Want to get my Ian Allan trainspotting book out again! , you have captured the time of grimy terraced houses , and how life was in the 50s and 60s, its the only period to model isnt it? none of the modern rubbish. excellent layout.Dave.
What a truly inspiring layout. Despite you two gents looking like a double act...(in a nice way I must say!) it was a very educational video. I'm building a new 00 layout and I am very much a beginner. Thank you for posting this on here.
ive been working on my layout for last year or so, hope mine turns out even half as good as yours, amazing layout. thanks for sharing on video so we can all enjoy, best wishes.
Es una maqueta increible. Me ha hecho mucha ilusión encontrármela en youtube, pues sabía de ella por el fascículo conmemorativo de 50 aniversario de Hornby Magazine que me trajo mi hija Laura en Agosto de 2011 cuando estuvo en Escocia. Ni que decir que me gustaría verla alguna vez en mi vida. Enhorabuena Tetley Mills por tan maravilloso logro personal. :) What an incredible layout! It made me feel so excited to see it on youtube. I knew about this layout, by the 50th anniversary commemorative issue of Hornby Magazine, my daughter Laura brought me, when she come back from Scotland in August 2011. I would like seeing it in a near future. Tetley Mills Congratulations for such a wonderful personal achievement.
He's right. it's not nearly mucky enough.. Just when you think there's enough weathering on a model, you realise that there's scope for more after looking again at original photos from the period. Dust, soot and dirt settled on every surface. I always imagine it like snow, but grime coloured.
The interviewer is very arrogant and stuck up. amazing layout but in the end I was just angry st the way this layout and it's creator were just battered by the interviewer.
Moggy 1000 Thanks for you kind comments but Tony Wriight and I are really good friends and indeed 'bounce' banter and nothing he said caused me any offence we really are a couple of nutters and as may come across my approach to modelling is certainly not elitist nor will I every be elevated to the ranks of rivet counters. I'm pleased the layout gives such enjoyment to viewers. Dave Shakespeare
Daniel Smith I was not critising anything it was just an observation from the outside looking in. I'm 24 and building a layout at the moment but in N gauge and I hope that one day I will be able to build a layout to this magnificence.
I see you are not only a fellow Yorkshire man but like myself you too have turned to Model Railways as a new hobby after a Motorbike accident. I had my accident way back in May 2001. It has left me severly disabled, as a stroke victim. I can't walk or talk. BUT I AM a "REAL LIVING DOLL !" , haha. I am in the throws of doing an n gauge DCC layout, with Diesels and a DMU. I am also making a OO gauge Tram layout. As a very good friend of the Family, a Mr. Roy Brook, who was an expert on Trams. Writing books like "The Tramways of Huddersfield" , had left me his OO gauge Trams. I will post a photo of it on my web site at www.sportsbiking.co.uk .

Every time I watch this it is still just as amazing...
I won the Shakespear ward for my layout a few years ago, He made an amazing layout.

Viewing from Palm Springs California. Thank you so much for giving me that memory and the incredible realism of old BR Britain
So sorry to hear today that Dave has passed away. He will be greatly missed.

This guy is/was a master of weathering and detail. Love the weeds in the gutters. Top stuff, thanks.
Why would one dislike this video? This layout is a work of art and has absolutely stunning detail.
It's sometimes hard to quantify when the hobby goes from a train set/playing trains to an art form, but this has definitely crossed into the latter category! The realism of the masses of stonework alone is breathtaking.
Every time I watch this it is still just as amazing, I never get tired of it.
Well done layout. Dave has captured his childhood era very nicely.
I brought a railway magazine years ago featuring this very layout on the cover. its so nicel to see the actual model and creator thanks
Fantastic layout Dave. RIP.My condolonces.
i remember seeing this in model rail magazine,still under construction,in the 90s,i still have the copy of the magazine,superb layout.
Hadn't heard about poor Dave - he wasn't that old. God bless you Dave.

A wonderful display that works nicely, I do admire you artisanship!

mark shakespeare Such a classy response to criticism.

Damn correcting a modeler legend/ He was about to smack him
Victory model railway exhibition 2019
Super nice layout but too much talking that I can't understand. Pete
nice layout rolling stock needs a clean
Not Bad David ;)
Since when have locomotives moved to music. If you have to have sound, please make it railway associated.
To be honest, without music these things can feel a bit empty.
Dok Bob you’re an idiot.
Indeed.. And Narnia came to the muckiest!

My mistake lol wrong vid
