Tracks Across the Spectrum brings to mind that in 2009 I was finally properly diagnosed autistic after having been incorrectly diagnosed bipolar in 1982; it was interesting in a tragic sort of way how many long running and sometimes serious problems just simply went away after getting correct information and learning the correct things to do for myself.
It was also interesting that it was the psychiatrists in thousand dollar designer suits who incorrectly diagnosed me and a community health guy in jeans and a polo shirt who finally correctly diagnosed me; I still remember him saying, "You are not bipolar and have never been bipolar, you are autistic, here's why ...". And when I went and told relatives and friends their pretty much universal response was, "Well, ya know, that would explain that ... and that ... and that ... and that ... and ..."
An excellent exhibition the standard of is amazing good to see so many youngsters on the circuit thankyou for the video
That Kato mini dioramas layout is a neat idea.
It is! A perfect way to get started if you're new to model railway layouts and lots of fun.
You did it again, Ms Quest. A superbly shot and narrated video, providing information on what we're watching, along with the interviews with the modellers. The Japanese layout was amazing, as is Wishton. Great to see BE on show too.
Thank you Stephen - glad you liked it.
Thanks for supporting us by bringing BE and making this super film of our event to share around the world! Welcome to Ashford everybody!
Great railway layouts. Hard to pick a favorite. Grumpy cameraman kept quiet on this one. Bill and Janet from California
He makes up for it in the next one Janet!
A wonderful selection of interesting and unusual layouts - and it's great to see so many younger people enjoying and contributing to the hobby! Thanks for sharing, Dawn.
Thanks Ian
Aw, sorry the fellow has passed away; but I very much enjoyed the connection to Thunderbirds and Joe90. Also enjoyed a later sighting of a certain blue box ... 😄
Very nicely covered, a big thanks for showing this event.
Well filmed, brings it to life
Thank you - glad you liked it.
Wonderful attention to detail. Enjoyed
Thank you - glad you liked it.
Some great layouts Dawn, loved the Japanese layout very impressive. I enjoy the Triang, Trix layout it took me back to my childhood x
Thanks Martyn
And it isn't only autistic guys like me who enjoy trains and model trains, I an American have a dear friend in UK who has a model railway she can lower from ceiling of her sewing room on to her quilting table; and on her railway she's making an RAF museum. And that brings up how much I like that the UK's model railway scale of OO, 1/76 scale, is so very much closer to model airplane's 1/72 scale, than is HO scale at 1/87 scale.
That sounds so cool! I’d love to see her layout… and her sewing room!
@@modelrailwayquest It's getting there, slowly, we both have messy physical health in addition to being autistic. Through the years we've had fun sending model railway stuff across the Atlantic to each other. I'm currently and slowly working on a model airplane and some people for her RAF museum; am doing a US Navy plane in the 1930s 'yellow wings' high visibility livery so she can have a 'loud American' 😆 in the midst of all that RAF camouflage. Earlier I de-Thomased a troublesome truck and painted it in livery for my freelance O16.5, On30 here in US, railway company and sent it. Used fish tank charcoal for its coal load. Gotta say, railway modeling is a lot of fun - and both as a solo activity and as a social event, so many different ways to be a railway modeler, there's something for pretty near everyone within it.
Thanks for capturing this show. We were displaying t Norwich so couldn't make it but it seems it was very successful.
Hope to see you soon!
Great video as always. I'm sure I missed some of these layouts, but it was a big festival - we visited four locations around Ashford. Was good to see the Brief Encounter layout and have a chat with you and Mr G Cameraman :-) Hope we can catch up again at Mobexpo. Ben from Brussels.
Hi Ben - yes, we will look out for you!
Good coverage of the festival. One day I would be interested to see a snapshot of the 'hidden' staging / operating area of layouts such as these.
I think sometimes that's the most fascinating bit Bob!
One of the best. You must stop Grumpy kicking the layouts as he is filming!
I think I filmed those bits - it was an act of sabotage on his part!
The Japanese layout with those gorgeous Autumn colours was a breath of fresh air! & What a video it must have taken hours of filming & capturing all those diverse layout's. Wondeful sitting back & watching & also getting inspiration. Thank you!
Glad you liked the video Alycia - I agree, Joganji River is spectacular. It's coming to my Sevenoaks show in July - so if you're in the area, come along. It's one of those layouts you really do need to see in person to appreciate it.
Nicely done, excellent design and details,,thanks for sharing..😊😊
Great video, lovely commentary too. Thanks for sharing. Roy.
Another enjoyable, well filmed, and presented exhibition video, it's great to get insights into the layouts, with the background stories and interviews with the builders... cheers James 🙂👍
Thank you James - lovely to get positive feedback.
Born in Ashford, love the video Best Regards Andrew
Great video as always Dawn!
With so many excellent layouts you're definitely spoilt for choice. Its Mr G' s camara work and Dawns commentary that makes it another outstanding video presentation. Theres no doubt about it you have raised the bar on how to present this great hobby. Well done to you both.
Thank you Chris - lovely feedback.
Outstanding narration, interviews and camera work (steady, smooth and excellent composition). It was a real pleasure to watch this - and as I'm currently deciding on my US rail inspired layout it led to another bin full of screwed up paper fuelled by inspiration delivered in your show - Thank You :-)
Aw, thank you! Glad you liked it.
Really cool. 🚂
I lived in Horsmonden for a very happy 6 months...1973
and Finally, G scale, that ubiquitous scale. I'm running Bachmann 1:20.3 American 3' narrow gauge, battery and Blunami. Limited now by the price of everything out of America, freight and exchange rate to the AUD
Oh well, managed to buy some Peco points that I am very pleased with, and at a sensible price at last.
"Ashford on the doorstep to Europe..."
Well, Ashford, as well as the UK, is already/still in Europe, isn't it ?
Another fine video, thank you.
Best wishes
Dirk
It's so easy to forget! :-)
Looked like a very varied exhibition which also added to the interest. It also had another one of my past times - Lego… By the way, I thought EM gauge was the future… did not see an EM gauge layout there.
we loved exhibing and had a great weekend, and thanks for showing my chris's millton junction with his card lorries, he said he is now famous lol
He is! I was so impressed with his work. Lovely to see you. x
that TT shop layout was mine and its first ever showing and will not be its last
Loved it Steve!
Good show Dawn,lots to see but for my part,not enough OO gauge.Good to chat to you tho!
Thanks Dave - yes, lots of N gauge as you said. I did my best to represent the OO brigade, along with Eastgate Harbour, Goods Yard by George Shrubsole (which sadly we didn't have time to capture on film), Ashford Castle and Warner's Oak....
No camera guy, no Dave down the pub advice ... ?
he was particularly sullen - but he makes a riproaring comeback in the weekly update... you can't keep a grumpy cameraman down...
And not one tt120 layout there I bet I know why most people are just not interested in in it wonder if Hornby has shot them selfs in the foot bringing it out again ?
there was two triang tt layouts one being quite rare shop layout
There was a very early version of TT20 there - very cool looking.
