Thanks much

Hi There,
Thanks for the comments. The camera used in this video was a
Panasonic SDR-526. The camera is about 3 years old.
Regards Roy.
Simply amazing! Looks like O scale but it leaves a few questions in my mind.
How big is that layout?
Are you using CTC?
Is it pre-programed or do you use a signal system?
How many trains are running concurrently?
Hi Pitogo,
The railway is 50feet x30feet on 4 levels running through 5 sheds of varying sizes it is controlled from a central control room with the aid of closed circuit television.
The railway is wired for automatic train operation on the block section principle.
30 trains run simultaneously operated by one person me. It is certainly British 0 gauge
1/43 scale. It is built on the walk round format. Access by hatches at strategic points.
Regards Roy.
Thank you for sharing, it is very nice indeed. And the scenery is fantastic even for the ride along and not just from the isles.
Exceptionally well done. Thanks for posting.
That is a beautiful layout and a fun video. Thank you!
Dear Roy, are the 20,37,47,55 class Heljan models? Is some of the coaching stock Darstaed, Bassett-Lowke, and Ace Trains ? Great video!!! Cheers, John P.Dunn Sr.
Sweet layout. I certainly enjoyed the video. Thanks for entertaining us!
Thank you for posting this video. I have been aware of your layout for a couple of years, and have enjoyed all your videos. I think you should post this on the scenery forum also, as I am sure many there would be interested. I especially enjoy all the various structures. Besides all your British structures, did I see elements of Plasticville/ Bachmann? For instance, the cathedral/ country church; elements of the city hall/ Independence hall; the apartment building. In any event, well done!

There are remnants of Bachman/Plasticville left on this layout I am in the process of replacing the buildings with Lemax their detailed buildings lend themselves to 1/43 scale at a reasonable cost. Thanks for your comments and interest.
