I agree Roger - pity the whole thing was filmed on a mobile phone in portrait mode - it could have been so much better.

Looks similar to my layout. When I say that, it has track. :D

I heard that most of his locos are scratch built as well, but he does have an army of people doing the work so I suppose we have an excuse there, plus he’s a multi million heir so I think that helps a little also.

It is lovely. The enthusiasm and care to enjoy ones models, and most of the stock is kit or scratchbuilt which is an achievement in itself.

Having space for 0 gauge is quite a luxury on a scale like that let alone build the thing!

Think of cleaning all that track!

A different league to mine I’m afraid - I just beaver away in a 16 by 10 shed. It’s still fun mind.

One has a track cleaning elf to look after those sort of things.
