I do like a good model railway

It's a good exhibition to get to if you're anywhere near Glasgow. Plenty of inspiration for terrain.

Yes, so do I and with the availability of cheap, tiny cameras these days, you can get those great videos taken from the front of an engine. Cool....!

Shucks - you’re right, of course. And it means I fit right in with everyone else on this forum

Been watching these on YouTube, superb! Now they have car and boat systems too.

Great finds, Snappy, Old Fruit (didn’t see any boats, mind you ). A couple of observations about the splendid motorway footage:

1. Those chaps all seem to be driving on the wrong side of the road.
2. The spacing between vehicles seem to be as bad as in real life - tailgating was n miniature

Boats here (they even have water skiers!).



You're right about the tailgating, very dangerous!

Finding that one I came across this one, watch out for Hoffa Cement and Wicked Wandas!

That was some layout with quite a few little jokes like Hoffa Cement. Someone should buy the bloke who did the video a tripod, though. And maybe tie his legs together The boats weren’t really in the same class as the road and rail - those sailing dinghies speeding round in defiance of nature, for example.

Excellent find Doug, thanks for showing. I dream of an equally stretched layout in my attic...
If I only had a little more time.
