Doncaster Model Railway layout in 00 gauge 4mm

A friend and myself were lucky enough to be invited back to visit this wonderful layout again and take some stock to have a play. The sheer size of the layout and the variation of stock is mesmerising. John White, the owner, is always a fantastic host and has taken real care to ensure that this layout runs perfectly, ive been to visit on a few occasions now and everything runs like clockwork, the trackwork is sublime. I cant wait to visit again soon as there's always something new to see on each visit and could happily lose hours sitting watching trains go by on this layout

Brilliant layout. I remember when it was just like this. Better than it is now with all that Spagetie over the tracks

[@keithallen9994]

One of the best model railways I have seen and that Deltic and its sound is superb

[@BomberCountyModels]

Thanks, I'll pass on your compliments to my mate John who's layout it is, he's put a lot of time into it

[@highdownmartin]

Very nice. And 11 coach trains and running at proper speeds. Lovely

[@BomberCountyModels]

Thanks Martin, my scotsman had 9 on and a dead vitrains 47 which has a diecast chassis which I reckon equates to 3 coaches so it put it a good showing

[@andrewblake2254]

Really excellent, congratulations to the owner.

[@BomberCountyModels]

I'm sure he will be happy to read this, he's very proud of it and rightly so

[@kenstevens5065]

Takes me back to Saturdays in the early sixties, all day spotting at Donny with the odd trip further afield as pocket money allowed. I bought my Hornby Dublo Deltic from Cutriss model shop in 1963. Halcyon Days.

[@paulodonovan1150]

Excellent layout and joy to watch

[@BomberCountyModels]

I'll pass along your compliments, its truly top rate isn't it

[@michaelwhitham4501]

superb,donny is my favorite station

[@BomberCountyModels]

I think it might be John's (the owner) too 😂

[@Beatlefan67]

Fab! The sound of that Deltic - WOW!

[@BomberCountyModels]

Certainly sings nicely

[@kenstevens5065]

The Deltics, you didn't stand next to them for very long idling unless you wanted a headache from the noise and clag. Noise absorbing panels were fitted behind the driver and second man seats to make inside the cab more comfortable. !

[@JohnPW22]

Absolutely wonderful stuff!

[@BomberCountyModels]

Thank you John, much appreciated by myself and John the layouts owner

[@gammr3227]

[@BomberCountyModels]

[@jamesmatthews8332]

I love the Deltic great.

[@BomberCountyModels]

Thank you James, it's a lovely bit of kit

[@DougsModelRailway]

Love Great Northern! Which kit is it?

[@BomberCountyModels]

Not sure if I'm honest, its a friend's of mine who owns the layout, I'll ask him

[@Antiochian8]

Lot of carriages on that first train. Would that have been realistic?

[@HawickLayout-oi5yc]

11 coaches is fairly modest for ECML trains, 13 to 15 not uncommon, so yes, the trains are realistic.

[@ltdn]

I hate to say this but it looks nothing like Doncaster, it's too good...

[@BomberCountyModels]

It is missing some miscreants, thats for sure
