Thanks. I found the running session video of the Model Railway Budget shunting layout:

That layout is brilliant in its simplicity. I cannot believe the shed was made from printed paper and an old cereal box. I would have sworn those shingles and boards were individually applied. Astonishing craftsmanship.

That layout is almost the same as my own layout... although mine runs to about 10 ft of track.

Its surprising how much operational interest you can have. :)

This video blog is great to watch and learn from. I do hope this is not the last. Perhaps add a sound effects sound track? Get the camera close into the action? It would be terribly nice if other modellers followed your lead, with this video.

I like that - food for thought when some people say you need a lot of room for a model railway.
