Absolutely wonderful, Bob Symes was brilliant. I loved Model World growing up in the 70s and it inspired me to get a model train in the 80s. I'm still doing it. Thanks for uploading.

This video is pure joy. Cheers from the States!

I remember this series from when I was younger. I was clumsy back then but I've learned a lot in the intervening years. He was a remarkable chap.

I truly enjoyed watching this. Thank you for a fun night.

Oh wow that's my evening's viewing sorted! I love these, something so comforting and relaxing about them :)

Remember watching these on an afternoon doing my homework! Thanks for sharing again.

This programme takes me back a few years to the mid 1970s when i was a member of the NLSME on whose track the live steam locomotives were filmed.I had many happy hours operating my 5" gauge Simplex on there,A lot of familiar faces there,i wonder how many of them are left?.

Great part 3 of the series.

absolutely brilliant brought back a lot of memories thank you

In around the mid 70's I had the model world book, which accompanied the series. It had plans in the back for "wind rider" "sky rider" and "sea rider". I wish I still had that book. I'm now 54.

Saturday was pocket money day. I’d watch this in the morning then off to the model shop at lunch time to buy a Spitfire or Lancaster. Then the rest of the the day making my model. Those were the days!

I’m sure it turns up on eBay. The worrying thing is I’m now older than Bob and R C Ormiston Chant Stuart hine and the rest, were when they made this. Gulp

I had that book too! I wonder if it's still in the attic at my mum's house...? The year this show was released, with the emphasis on model making, a teacher at our primary (elementary) school encouraged us all to design land yachts using balsa wood. We waited for a windy day and they all took off across the schoolyard. Most of them were light and blew over but my friend Stephen had built a big boxy devil (we all laughed at it). His dad had pressed cut pieces of drain pipe over the balsa hubs to act as tires. It went the furthest of them all!

So much of a comfort zone In the day 😌

Great to see this. It's bought back a lot of nice memories seeing this again.

Such a glorious presentation! I love the layout of Horstes Keynes on the Bluebell Line. 😊@9:40 @11:25 I like the colorful Private Owner wagons on the live steam railway.

Thank you so much. I was the perfect age when these were first show, 11 years old growing up in Devon. I loved each and every one. Do you you have any more from the series, would love it if you could upload them if you do! Thank you again, brought back a flood of happy memories of me being inspired by this to build my own model railway.

yes pre 🤡🌎 was beautiful

It's interesting to compare this with the current Hornby series on the Yesterday channel

The show on yesterday feels like an advert for hornby and this is more informative.

Or indeed white metal, as I have been building quite a few 009 gauge locos with some help, and 1 I am really impressed with despite the castings and instructions etc, anyway I am still really impressed with her and she is the one and only Langley Models L&B Lyn

Everything you could never afford.

Does anyone actually know whatever became of this layout of Horsted Keynes?

That would cost a lot of money to build these large scale locomotives.

Many thanks for posting this model train bliss.... a question.... I thought it was on one of these 3 shows where at the beginning a vocal group is singing a lot of clever train patter with marvelous harmony...whilst the camera pans over a pike of green hills and the like.... any clues, or was that a different show. Cheers from Texas.

I think the programme you're on about is 'A Lineside Look at Model Railways'. It is on youtube in three parts! Here is a link to the first part. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nJ2Bw5Ochcjed6g.html

how about weathering the model railroad

this before DCC and British Railroads

The steam is realistic. How is it done?

It looks like you put water in and heat it with a fire until it gets really hot.

better to paint the parts before sticking them together.. Much easier

when was this show made? late 70's?

I believe it was 1975, I remember first seeing this on a Sunday morning in the mid-70's. It's so dated now but still a pleasure to watch.
