Model Railway in Action

Model Railway in Action

Action from model railway exhibitions and our home layout, where you have the best view to watch the trains go by.

Also available on the channel will be some trips to heritage railways and other related interesting topics.

For our own layout we’ve not modelled any specific location and have not reflected any particular historic era, it’s just a selection of trains and other items acquired over many years. The layout is OO gauge with most trains from the major suppliers Hornby and Bachmann and mostly from the UK. We are currently adding a separate set of tracks and a new TMD all controlled via DCC which will keep us busy for years! The main lines are DC controlled.

Why not subscribe (it's free and helps the channel to grow) as we'll be posting further videos from our layout and from visits to model railway shows so hit that notification bell to be the first to hear about them!

We typically publish a new video every Monday afternoon with an extra video on Fridays at busy times!

    As a retired BR train driver, as usual, i wasn't surprised that the first five trains had neither drivers (in open cabs) or passengers in any of the coacing stock, the rest were filmed so badly, but obvious nobody really cares about realism any more.
