Gainsborough Model Railway (pt1)

[The177Hunter]

omg, i cant imagine how much all of that cost, for a N gauge CSX engine, it cost me 30 bucks and the switches cost ten. all of my track (N gague) , about 100 feet, must have cost me about 150 and the cars, about twenty assorted ones, 200 bucks. wow.

@The177Hunter A lot of this you see here is priceless, can't really put a value to them as they were hand scratch built. Many a long time before comercial kits became available. The pullmann coaches made from card etc. A credit to the club & all those who made the rolling stock etc. Well worth a visit if you get chance.

Cheers.

@AUTubeN22 It's about 1/3 the actual length of the real one.

I used to work this railway before i moved to Grimbsy. Used to pop back for exhibitions, sleeping in the tea room lol.

I will return eventually, must fix the car first. I was passed out on all the boxes there.

[ay76]

@586Northamptonshire Cool. Must take a while to learn the ropes as a operator, on this railway.

[586Northamptonshire]

@ay76 I started in 1991 until 2004, i've just returned last monday.

[ay76]

@586Northamptonshire Which station or section do you operate on the layout?? Or do they rotate, so get chance to try each section??

[586Northamptonshire]

@ay76 I returned to the railway about 6 weeks ago after a 4 year gap. So far i've found myself volunteering for Hitchin SB. Leeds room, lowest point on the baseboard.

[ay76]

@586Northamptonshire That's that bit right down in the middle of that room. I'll have to get back for one of the next open day's. Love to do an on board camera ride video around the layout, wonder if the club would allow me to do that??

[ay76]

Yes it's a good spot to watch from.This video should be going to high quality at some point.Not sure why it hasn't yet??Cheers

[ay76]

Many thanks mate, there is a lot more of this railway to come,I'm trying to get 2 or 3 video's uploaded a day of this series.I hope one day you can get up to see this great layout.

hey, why not use windows movie maker and put all your videos together

[ay76]

I had problems with it for some reason.I'll have to give it another go.Other problem i have is that the You Tube multivideo uploaded has failed.I've tried to down load it a few times but still it won't work, so using the normal up loader for the time been.I'd love to get all this together to make up one longer video. Cheers
