The loco is by Roundhose Engineering and is at a scale of 16mm to the foot. Can run on either 32 or 45mm gauge track.

1. SM32 track and 16mm scale,

2 The coaches are all Brandbright kits - excellent products they build to almost exhibition standards with care.

who makes the fine figures? the driver, passengers, etc. Good shots of close up run by, trackside views.

yes, the coaches r superb too. perhaps, on ur nxt shot, some on-board camera shot would be nice but don't keep the camera on there too long as many of these garden RR shots were made. intermix with outside shots! enjoyed ur film very much. is it possible to smoothen the loco's movement (slow n' steady) backing up switching?

Thank you for your comments,

The passengers are a mixture of plastic G scale figures from Preiser, mostly purchased unpainted and then finished with Acrylics, the loco drivers and fireman are from Jons models - usually to found at most of the major exhibitions. The video could be improved with additional cut aways and tighter editing but the software used for editing does not make the stretching of the video signal look smooth.

The whistle is certainly odd - but works.

Subbed. Excellent film with some familiar Roundhouse friends, which you´ll also find on the Kent & North Wales Light Railway on Youtube.

who makes these live steam models and what scale?

I have a few questions:

1:Is this SM32/SM45 or G-Gauge

2:Where did you get those coaches?

Great 'little' film!

Nice Camera work!

Absolutely wondrous! The chuffer is very effective on this model, too. the layout really brings back memories of Wales to me and mrs tac.

@steamoil

The engine you refer to is a Roundhouse Katie with a full lining and paint job by Lightline plus the addition of extra detailing parts mainly from Brandbright.
