Bob Symes was a real Gentleman . I believe He was of Aristocracy , perhaps Austrian ? He knew his stuff and was a very clear communicator . Sadly and badly missed.

I like how Bob says being on the floor is not the place for model railway as they pickup dirt an carpet fibers, well these days model locos pick up bits of static grass where people put in static grass but don't give it good vacuum afterwards.Watching people repair model locos which are full of static grass and bits of polystyrene and fluff which coats the pick ups.

Great programme. I remember watching some of Bob Symes' other programmes on television. This is later than the 70s though. Going by the BR sector liveries on some of the locos and stock puts it around the mid 80s. Thanks for sharing.

This was filmed during the early 1980's, judging by the woman controlling a layout using a Hornby Zero One 1st generation DCC system, right at the beginning. Hornby's Zero One DCC system was produced between 1979 & 1986, with many modeller, like myself, still running this pioneering DCC system globally

Briiliant. There are 3 films in total, this "How to build a model Railway", "A linside look at Model Railways" and "Another Lineside look at Model Railways". Also worth looking out for is "Model World"- 3 parts to railways and all are/were available on KZitem. RIP Bob Symes. Legend.

Hey. You really have to be careful when saying something is rare or lost. I for one have a copy of this film. I recorded it on VHS long ago when I had cable TV. I still watch it occasionally. Robert Symes-Schutzmann to give him his full title, made many films right up until near his death. the last film I saw was made for the Ger]man market. He was after all an Austrian Count.

If you have it recorded on VHS then it's safe to say it's probably lost to most of us since this may never get rerun on TV.
