It is a wonderful layout, glad you enjoyed the video!
I discovered this wonderful layout in Model Railway Journal 302 and am excited to see your film of it. (I’m in Canada and with the delay in shipping issue 302 is the most current copy and I’ve just picked up the magazine on the weekend. ) The scene here looks just wonderful. What a delight to see it in operation. -chris

Thanks, I wasn't aware of the article, will have to keep an eye out for it! Thanks for commenting, really glad you enjoyed the video!
I was born in Welshpool; planning on making a similar model of the WLLR myself someday. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent, thanks and good luck if you do go ahead with the model!
Great video, my grandson really enjoyed watching it. We've been doing mockups on his baseboard of his 009 layout plans. Hopefully, it won't be long before he can get started.....cheers James 🙂👍

Thanks, it's definitely a good idea to try out a mockup of the plan before committing to it!

@@FortheLoveofSteam I agree, and it's looking alright so far 🙂👍
A bit of dodgy running over that set of points. I wondered if that was a back to back issue or something wrong with the track. Enjoyed the video.

I really did wonder about whether or not to include that last shot (it's at the end for a reason). I've seen this layout 3 times now, and rather typically the only time there was an issue was when the camera was out!

@@FortheLoveofSteam Wow! that's some of the best filming of my layout I have seen - Thank you for taking the time and interest. Rest assured, that dodgy turnout is being replaced as the rail had expanded over the weekend and short of taking a set of rail cutters to it during the show there was not much I could do. As it is all hand built track you sometimes get the odd problem. The perils of exhibiting! I hope the layout inspires other to model the Welshpool.

Ah, thank you and congrats on a wonderful layout! I guess an exhibition does make for some unusual stresses on trackwork and mechanisms!
