Many thanks for your interest and kind remarks. Unfortunately with the changes that have come about in 'Movie Maker' over the last 5 years it has proved way beyond our capabilities to use the present programme and we have reluctantly had to acknowledge defeat. It is an 'age' thing I am afraid. Best wishes.

Hello there, what a brilliant film, you should seriously consider entering this into a Short Film Festival. It reminds me of "Train of Events" ( the great Jack Warner), "Brief Encounter" ( Celia Johnson & Leslie Howard ), and other British B&W films from the 1950s& 60s which I watched on school holidays, and later after coming home from my job on the railways , I got well paid to play with big trains, and others did the maintenance ! Best wishes and regards from Australia.

Awesome modelling and a stunning day in the life of a steam railway and all of it characters. I love it and would be more than proud to produce something near to this myself.

Many thanks Thomas for your kind remarks. Glad you 'Loved it'. It is based on a village station called Hornby on the former Little North Western line twixt Morecambe and Wennington Junction in Lancashire. Our railway is however purely imaginary. It is themed on the nostalgia of the 1950s as we remember it in this part of the Country. Thank you again and best wishes..

Your kind comments are really appreciated C & F. There is no way we could afford to start this railway with today's prices. The majority of the cost was incurred some 30/40 years ago. The layout was then stored for some 25 years and subsequently resurrected some 10 years ago and finished in 2010. However the video is the result of the purchase of a £230 camera in 2016 and a few hundred hours of our time, which cost us nothing, in finding out how to do it!! Best wishes and many thanks again.

I recall time I spent in England and Scotland over forty years ago, which was my introduction to the passion people from Great Britain have for their trains. This delightful video demonstrates exactly that, in the most delicious way. No doubt every train layout is telling a story, but it is rare that story is made explicit, which is what you've done here. I loved it all. I can imagine you as a youngster taking notes as you traveled about the engines you encountered. This is wonderful!

Hi Guys. Really sorry but we do not have a cheap/easy answer to your question. Garages are notorious for damp, even if you think you have a dry garage the odds are that the air will be predominantly saturated a lot of the time. Not good just for card houses but for most things model railway orientated. A dehumidifier is probably the only answer , but they do not come cheap and obviously cost to run. Suggest you have a look on ebay for one if you decide to go down this route. Thank you for your interest and we wish you good luck with your modelling.
