I agree. Far too many modellers cram far too much track in and can never look realistic. I model myself with just a double track mainline with small yard. Trains are helpful out of sight until running through scenery. Modelling modern USA in n-scale with trains around 30’ in length.

It’s because a group of like minded people came together and did a huge amount of raising money to buy a building large enough to make this. No single person or two people could achieve this without the room. Sadly most of us can’t. We can’t only concentrate within a short distance of the railway boundary

One of the best layouts I've ever seen, no overcrowded railway system, beautifully integrated into the landscape, instead of the landscape integrated into the railway, as you so often see, no need for sound nor smoke or a police box tartise to steel the show, everything speaks for it self. And the attention to detail superb, train compositions are correct, love it, I hope to see it one day for real, I think it will be mind blowing…

​@@ThatModelRailwayGuy yes no limit of space helps, specially if you want to see an express train in full rake running. Of course you can run a lay out on limited space, but than you are restricted to shunting on a goods yard or factory and still be as fascinating as this big layout, but then one has to respect it's limits. I'm building myself at the moment and try to overcome this, by only the station part inside, and more than 40m track outside, so an express train can be enjoyed with a full rake of coaches So often you see modelers wanted to press in too much in, and I don't know how the most of you think, but I too often saw a police box trartise referring to Dr. Who that it becomes boring. Anyway keep on filming, love to see your videos…

When I first visited Pendon some 50 years ago the standard of modelling was a world away from that of even some well-known exhibition layouts. Now, and thanks to the inspiration provided by the museum, the difference has narrowed somewhat. But that element of space, allowing the layout "to breathe" as I believe Tony Wright (Little Bytham) puts it, is still shown to perfection here. And a close inspection of the buildings is so rewarding; the period detail is a joy to my eyes. It's always a treat to visit here.

They've certainly nailed the scenery. The ROW easement is convincingly aligned to fit within the landscape. For me this is what it's all about. If I had something like this at home all the complexity would be in the staging and you'd only ever see 2 or 3 trains an hour. For me if I wanted to see lots of trains I'd build a layout around a section of suburban route and slot freight trains in around the suburban timetable. I do like yards too, the more complex the better and that would be where the action is. Big drags would roll past, the double main line skirting the yard then into staging. Everyone likes different things from the hobby - I certainly get and appreciate that, I just want to recreate reality in miniature including rubbish, filth and graffiti and trains that run like they do in the prototype - so not that frequently and many times a random train you weren't expecting. The anticipation is a big part of what I like as is authentic detail.

We have to remember that Pendon Museum is a visitor attraction which relies on the public coming to see the layouts. If they only ran two trains an hour I think people would get a bit bored. The operations are kept simple because again, most people just want to see a train whizz past, and it needs to run faultlessly day in and day out. I imagine they run to a sped-up timetable in some way though, so that an entire day is condensed down into half an hour. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks Lois, believe it or not they use human hair for the thatched roofs! Thanks for watching 😃

Amazingly beautiful ! Just wonder why all trains keep racing by and never come to a stop in the station.

Some of the trains did stop but I was usually at the other end of the layout when that happened. There are quite a lot of freight or express passenger trains though. Thanks for watching 😃

Thank you so much for showing us these layouts! Being in South Africa, it is almost impossible to get up there to see them!

My pleasure, as much as I think it has to be seen in person to be fully appreciated, there is something nice in just being able to sit back and watch the trains pass by. Thanks for watching 😃

@@ThatModelRailwayGuy absolutely! We have gentleman down here who is a voice and theatre actor. Besides his own apartment that he lives in, he bought another one across the hall and he literally filled all the rooms aside from the toilet and kitchen with his model railway. If you have the willingness and time one day, you can see his layout on my channel (Called "On Track with James & Jade". Specifically, its in Episode 4 ). We found we have to go back there to capture some more shots one day as one cannot get everything it seems 😅

That’s a work of art.

I saw Pendon in the late '70s, do they still show the goods train halting and re starting but first "setting back" and then prototypically "picking off" one three link coupled truck at a time, brilliant

I don't think so, at least I didn't see that while I was there. I believe they try to rotate out the locos and rolling stock every year to create some variety for those that visit multiple times. Thanks for watching 😃

Very good just a pity you didn’t film more detail of the village and landscape , it is a cracking layout 👍

Honestly it was tricky to really do justice to that side of the layout and as a model railway channel, most people want to see trains running. Thanks for watching 😃

Love it , Bravo

Stunning

Mind blown. That's all I've got.
