Simon Farmer presenter of the 2004 TV series Model Town and Tim Watson the President of The Model Railway Club, take us on a guided tour of the amazing Copenhagen Fields layout.
Almost exactly centre field at 00:22 is the location (in real life) of the fabulous house belonging to the old lady in *The Lady Killers". There is a loco and 2/3 wagons on the track that ran right past the back of the (film set) house to a coal yard.
Absolutely fantastic. Stunning detail. Would like to have seen more closeups of mainline trains, though. Oh, and wouldn't the tracks area been absolutely filthy? Just seemed to be a little light on grime everywhere. Sorry to nitpick.
4468 and Tim, great, great video! Seen the layout many times (most recently at Harrogate in Feb 08) but saw things in the video that I'd still missed.
I saw this in a mag a long while ago - intense, but this is the first time seeing it running. Thanks, gives me a few ideas for my model
