I know this is 13 years later but what a great video of a wonderful model railway. The modelling of the entire railway and particularly the stations is amazing. A fantastic feat of engineering. Congratulations to everyone who has contributed to the build over the many years. Great job. Thank you.

True!

I love Bekonscot - I used to go as a child in the 70s, and I recently had the pleasure of taking my son there and observing the same joy in him that I felt at his age (and still do!). This is amazing footage - I'm not sure I have the words for how much I love this!

I used to visit Bekonscot as a child in the 1960s, and always wondered what it would be like to be shrunken down and ride on this railway. Now I know! Absolutely brilliant video, especially on a big screen!

I love when children jump up and down in sheer joy of what they see! Beautiful railway!

Love the railroad. Best outdoor layout I’ve seen. The reaction of the little kids is great. Time to cut the foliage.

This popped up in my recommendations feed. I'm so glad it did, this was my favourite place to visit as a child and every child that reacted with joy and excitement at the sight of the trains going by was exactly how I reacted. Now I'm 31 and hope to some day soon have children of my own to bring to this timeless place. Thank you for this nostalgia trip.

It's so sweet seeing the kids jump for joy in this video. It brings me back to when I was a youngin.

I must say this is thee most beautiful railway I have seen. The garden scenery the stations all magnificent.

Was taken there as child in 1960's, took our birth children there in 1980's, taken our foster-children there 2017 - still love it as much as 55yrs ago. Wonderful to see different perspective...

Loved it. I went there as a small boy of 3yrs old in 1970 for the first time and many more times after and with my own children. Many happy memories. Thank you.

What a wonderful model, well done to all concerned!

All I can say is wow!!! So realistic! Even the scraping of the tree branches against the train is realistic. I know because I used to drive the local train here in Cleveland. I was amazed at how many spring switches your line has though. LOL!!! Excellent video and a fantastic set up!!!!

How sweet, and to have kids see this, too. Thanks! Amazing!

Wonderful video ,wish it was in my garden , thanks

That was so cool! I was watching it on the big screen TV and actually started moving my head to dodge the overgrown hedges lol.

Amazing! Second only to the Wunderland in Germany I think. Amazed you could get your trains to run 10 scale models without derailing or hitting a bad spot electrically. It must take a huge amount of work to maintain it with all the plants growing, gophers digging, ants getting squished on the track, etc. Hats off to you!

growing up in High Wycombe I visited here often ;) ah memories

0:33 and 4:02. their the happiest kids in the world at that moment!

In a world dominated by digital gadgets, kids of all ages still love model trains!

Thank you for the ride.

I actually did not think something as incredible as this MASSIVE model existed. This is unbelievable!!!!! Wow!!!

I fell off that first bridge when I was 5 ( no high sides then ) and got track oil on my “ Lego builders club “ t shirt in 1977. Still love trains !

Fantastic video. Brought back memories of the 1970s when I used to go here with a friend. It meant two bus rides and a mile walk from the old Saracens Head pub. Great to see the children react when they see the trains coming hasn't changed...and probably never will :)

A friend of mine is a model train nut and is battling cancer at the moment and I showed him this. It really lifted his spirits. Thank you for making this video, it has made someone really happy.

One of the finer model railways I've seen! I was very impressed with the track work and how smoothly the spring switches operated. Thanks for posting.

Quite frankly, suggesting that people alight for connecting trains when you don't even stop is downright dangerous. And who are all those giants?

really wonderful model village. Would love to visit some time.

That is impressive - I really like the detail of the stations and right-of-way. You did a fantastic job.

Indeed it was amazing thanks for the ride ☺️👍🚅🚅🏡🎍☺️

Absolutely Fantastic. Except for the 1 to 1 scale people it is like riding a real train. Beautiful job of landscaping, buildings and small details. Trackwork and ballast is also excellent. A real pleasure to view and get ideas from. THANK YOU for sharing

I don't know howmany times I have watched this particular video, but I feel like a kid again [cute trick, I'm 65] and I'm not sure which is more enjoyable, the 'ride' on the train, or the expressions on the young ones faces when they see the train coming. And I don't mean just the little ones, the 'adults' are just as thrilled by them.

Thank you folks for your appreciation of my passion for trains, similar to yours .when as a kid I was asked what I wanted to become pat came my reply a engine e driver. I was so impressed by the Anglo-Indian drivers with burnished brass peek caps pocket watch, and making the big sign of the cross before they started the journey. J C moral.

Amazing! Best thing I've seen in modelling for ages - congratulations to all of you.

Went yesterday and had the best day ! My 2.5 year old boy will not stop talking about it ! Very very cool, :D

Bekonscot the original Miniature Wunderland!! Always a delight to visit, a short trip from Marylebone to Beaconsfield and you are in a lovely slice of England, I would be more than happy to move about snipping away the foliage--better still have the envious job of running those little trains, a dream job! A wonderful video indeed!

Truly amazing! The 'real' people play games with my head! It looks convincingly real and then you see giants! It also seems rather fast - does it ever jump off around those corners?

No, that's a good speed for a model or real railway, (top speed, that is) they shouldn't have a problem if they maintain it well enough.

Fantastic model railway. A credit to you all. Thanks for such an interesting video.

Great video clip. Thanks for sharing with us.

It's fantastic, we went there a few years ago. Must go again in Spring.

Superb railway and video. We'd all like one of these wouldn't we. A lot of hard work has gone into building this and the effort has been well worthwhile.

Happy to have discovered this video, and layout. An old train lover I am, and appreciate all of the hard, dedicated work involved. Train buffs enjoy what you have. Ignore the negatives you get. Those are the ones who never will learn to just Enjoy something for the sake of being Nice to others. Thank you, from across the Pond in the Former Colonies. THOMAS would be proud.

I totally agree with you Sir ! All these people who nag and complain would do better to appreciate all the hard work and effort that has been out into this for the pleasure of all who visit Bekonscot - I first visited this layout over 40 years ago and back then it was a relatively smaller set up -- so I must go back and visit again - it is amazing !

If you ever wondered what it would be like to be among giants in the ancient days of old...well, after watching this I don't think anyone would ever wonder again...a bit frightening as you are caught up in the moment riding the rails but a real treat in the least! Thanks to whomever did all the work to put this ride together.

if people were not in the shot you would contend its the real thing . it is completely realistic in every detail . thanks for making this splendid programme . cheers

Brilliant and mesmerising with the speed and the ''giants'' looking down.I first came to Bekonscot in the 50's. have been back a couple of times and have fond memories of those visits. Really wonderful to view this video. Thank you very much

Great video. Thank you.

Great Fun! thanks :-)

Visited today, and had this idea. Wow already been done, what a treat. My son would love to see this with a modern Go pro / image quality etc. Happy to lend mine to have the privilege. Fantastic !

So many hours of my childhood at Bekonscot!

Wonderful stations and bridges. The landscaping seems so appropriate everywhere. Thank You for the tour.

The kids reaction is priceless. Brings back memories of when I was a kid.

Very nice video and fun to watch. Have a nice day.

Thanks for this ride through your beautiful garden

Beautiful.

This is REALLY amazing. So beautiful layout

Ya never get to old to enjoy model trains.

The detail is so impressive that the blokes actually look like giants!! Very impressive!!

Land of the giants! ;-) Seriously, this was most impressive. Congratulations on a spectacular job!

i am absolutely gobsmacked at how good this is, so much effort!!

My mum retold the story of my first visit and the look on my face when one of the trains went under a bridge beneath me. Probably very much like some of the happy children there. Hopefully I'll visit soon!

Glad I saw this video for the first time in 14 years

Love the little trains of Beckonscot

Lived in Ruislip for 28 years and never visited. My loss. Absolutely superb.

Fabulous model railroad and village! The detail is extraordinary! Imagine the time and love it took to put the entire line together! Wonderful!

AMAZING well done beautiful model railway

The best part of this video was how much the kids loved your trains!! :) Thank you for posting

Fantastic model!

I felt like I was a puny little guy riding an amazing railway trough the land of giants!

this incredible. Wish I had this when I was a kid.

Used to love coming here as a kid and want to go again!

Without question, this is the nicest model train track I have ever seen.

Thoroughly enjoyed the ride! thanks * * * * *

That's amazing. Well done, I have never seen anything like this on that kind of scale. Very impressive.

Haven't been here for years,thanks for the ride

Remember visiting Bekonscot firstly as an 8 year old and then when I was 18. Still an amazing place even for adults though the trains seem to be different every time I visited :o)

Really can't describe just how much I enjoyed that. Thank you.

Happy memories of visiting often in the 1950's and with nephews since. Brilliant!

fantastic railroad layout thanks Ed Beverly Hills CA.. USA

Love the video Bekonscot! We love your railway!

This is fantastic done, thank you.

First time seeing this since the 50s when I lived In Beaconsfield in London Rd. Glad to see it's still going.

Absolutely stunning. Superb work.

This is just one of the coolest videos I've seen on KZread. Really wasn't expecting to say that, or for this to be this good. Amazing!

Fantastic !! Just fantastic, have to watch it again !

It's like deleted scenes from Gullivers Travels. Fantastic detail. Excellent display.

Absolutley brilliant, dont we all just want one.👏👏👏

wow what a fab layout i can watch this all day.

One amazing model train exhibit. First I've heard of it.

From Southern California greetings. I thought I was at Disneyland. The coolest thing is the giant children. They jump for joy and smile just like real children. Thank YOU for sharing. 🤗

I couldnt stop watching....... it was awesome

what a super layout. many thanks for sharing . looks like many happy hours of hard work will pop up to look at layout in comming months

I used to love visiting this place as a child, but was always tantalised by the 'behind the scenes' parts of the operation that we couldn't see, and moreover had a suspicion that behind the peripheral hedges were many more miles of miniture track and a whole other secret wonderful world.

Awesome Train Set Display Thank You :-)

Very impressive. Cleaning the track must take some doing after the wet winters we have now.

Excellent clip, thanks for posting

Magnificent! I’m reminded of the movie “Gulliver’s Travels”.

Watching this in VR is really Amazing. After a couple of minutes you really feel like you are that small and people are that big to you. Like you are really riding the train.

Sigh. Very nice indeed. Thanks for posting. So real, I nearly nodded off...

Thanks for posting this. What a beautiful video!!! :)

This is the best model railway ever. PERIOD! 🚉🚂🚂🚂🚂🚉🚉😀😀

Very nice layout. Really enjoyed the cab ride

i am speechless! bravo

That is just FanDAMNtastic. Unbelievable. Thanks for showing that..What a great view...Definately felt like a ride along. Jim
