  7. BEAUTIFUL (even in capital letters) is just too short a word to describe this layout!!
    Music suits perfectly too. Could you tell us what song is and its performer, please?
    Thanks for sharing!

  8. Hey there! Thanks a lot for your kind words!

    The song used in this video is from the Thomas and Friends children’s show and is called ‘The Repairs Theme’. It was written Mike’o'Donnel and Junior Campbell.

  9. how much room does it take up in your house?

    Comment by LukeFern1 — August 17, 2009 @ 9:32 am

  10. House space? not a great deal seeing its downstairs in a basement. But in terms of actual size… Id wager on about 12 feet by 12 feet (with each section being about 4 or 5 feet wide)

  11. The music suits it beutifuly

  12. Outstanding layout! The station with the double footbridge is very impressive. I like the Pannier running through the gorge. It looks very real. Your grandad has done a really great job! :-)

    Comment by MINTARKA101 — October 17, 2009 @ 9:57 am

  13. That… is actually purely an optical illusion! Theres actually only one footbridge on the station. The reason there appears to be 2 is because there is a mirror directly next to the station. This mirror has now been removed however to make filming on the layout easier.

  19. Loved this. Not overcrowded like so many layouts. Aiming for similar kind of thing – GWR 30s, 40s. Grandad’s the man !

  24. Brilliant, at last a model layout that you don’t have to win the lottery to build.

    Comment by RTFishall — February 2, 2010 @ 12:05 pm

  25. I’d like to meet your Grandad. Well, to be honest I just want to play with his trains.
