I love watching your videos , looking out for all the new additions to this fantastic display, keep up the amazing work

I'm viewing from New Zealand. Back in the 1960s/ early 70s i had many Dinky car toys. So it was cool seeing your village here. It was like a village back in say 1959/ 1960.

Great work cheers Michael

Brilliant, a lot of work went into that. Nice collection of vintage Dinky's as well 👍

Super. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.

Thanks so much !

Very clever...Well Done!

I love all the detail that you put into your layout and the 3D effect of blending the background with the actual layout. Very realistic! I wish that I had access to some of those small items that you included to bring life to your display, but unfortunately we are limited to these specialty items back here in the States. Thanks for sharing this video!

Thank you. But a lot of the items came from USA. The buildings are nearly all American. I had to import them to England.

G'day,Well done you! very nicely put together, I used same thing blending backdrop with actual layout ,works well, sadly I had a stroke awhile ago and can no longer enjoy my Layout, took me 15 years ,15 sq mts in all, hope to see some more of your great Dinkey Collection, cheers Mate!

Oohhh…An Albion cement mixer at 2.30 ..Spent many hours in my dads Albion tipper in the quarries in cheddar gorge,transporting materials from the quarries to the M5 being built just past Bristol.👍🏼

That layout looks fantastic, done such a brilliant job,also love the early 60s cars and vans , all the best to you.

Thanks ! I was bored with the cars in display cabinets, so came up with a model village idea.

Thankyou.

FANTASTIC.

Very nice diorama with a lot of fine details. All the different scence with tons of different cars, lorries and figures. I'm wondering that some of the vehicles do have glases/windows, other don't.

Thanks. Yes some have glass and others don’t. It’s how the toy manufacturers made them. Dinky toys up to 1956 never had glass. All Corgi cars did. So from 1956 Dinky copied Corgi and added windows. By 1959 they had detailed interiors too !

Now this is really brilliant, fantastic work and it looks great

Thanks! What started as a single board of MDF and some model railway scenery during the covid lockdown gradually morphed into 30ft of a small village !

@@Paul-the-Dinky-Guy are all of the figures from Dinky or more of a mixture of different brands. They really bring life to your layout. Are they plastic or metal?

@Paul-the-Dinky-Guy

The figures are a combination of model railway o gauge figures bought from various railway shows or eBay etc. all plastic.

I’ve added a further 6 feet since the video was made. Currently under construction is a bigger Ststion area and goods yard. Local pub by the canal and canal barges with holiday makers. A windmill with holiday park beside and a roundabout on the roads with cafe and village hall opposite the signal box.

@@Paul-the-Dinky-Guy what gauge trains do you run? I noticed it was two rail but is it electrified or clockwork?

Dire need of some fun cars, a E Type, an Aston Martin , maybe an old Mustang. You never know who might pop round the village.

@Paul-the-Dinky-Guy

Жыл бұрын

Sadly neither the E type or the Mustang could ever visit. The E type isn’t launched until 1961 and the Mustang late 1964. This village is still in 1959/60. We could see an early Aston Martin though ! 😜

A nice layout. i notice that some of those houses were made by plasticville made here in the USA.

@Paul-the-Dinky-Guy

Жыл бұрын

That’s correct. O scale buildings are very hard to come by in England. The Plasticville range is perfect and with a little modifications they can pass for British buildings…. almost !

Very nice. Is that a Bachmann Cathedral? I have the same house and school. Your village reminds me of the Emma Peel Little Storping episode of the Avengers. Great work.
