 Hello, thank you for joining me on this very foggy day. I'm in Beckinsfield in Buckinghamshire I'm just walking down this path in residential area and in front of us here We have a bridge over the Chiltern main line. So what we're going to do today We're going to stop and see a train here Then we're going to go to Beckinscott to see the village all nicely lit up So where it's foggy and it will soon be dusk So we'll get to see what Beckinscott model village looks like by night rather than daylight because I've done quite a few videos there in the daylight in the past How foggy it is Beckinsfield station is just beyond the next bridge and you can't see it's there So I don't have ever quite seen a Chiltern main line this foggy looking that way towards Highwickam What I'm going to do and I'm going to hang around here We'll see the railhead treatment train once that's gone through we'll walk on To Beckinscott model village and we're going to go and have a look around and see all the lights Well, it was the foggiest conditions. I've ever seen the railhead treatment train in and so there we had 665 22 and 66507 we carry on walking This way now we're going to go to Beckinscott looking forward to seeing it all lit up at night It should be very atmospheric with all this fog. So let's walk up to Beckinscott I'm just walking down Warwick Road now where Beckinscott is situated. So we are almost here There we go. That's the sign Looking for Beckinscott model village open So here we go Here we have arrived at Beckinscott office. It's not dark yet, but With the atmosphere of the fog we'll have a little walk around the village in daylight We'll go for a ride on the train as it starts to get dark and then we'll go around the village and When it has got dark so we can see how the village looks Nicely lit up. So as we have done before we arrive Nicely says welcome to Beckinscott Here's the mark one carriage. So just got to get my ticket and Get my ticket there and here we go So I've just paid to get into the village. So as we walk along besides the souvenir shop and ticket office The mark one coach here We have the Beckinscott light railway and today they have their tram See it says Beckinscott electric tramway. So I'm gonna do go for a ride I thought I'll see if I can go for a ride now and then I'll do another ride later on when it's dark So when we get to see it both ways So let's go and have a ride on the Beckinscott electric tram That was a fun trip on the Beckinscott light railway on their tram locomotive Two carriages behind so now we're gonna walk up. We're gonna go and have a look around the village So a couple of years ago I did a series of videos where I covered the whole of Beckinscott model village in about six parts So in this video, it's really just to see the lights, but do have a look at those videos to see the village in more detail. So Here we are here. We have arrived and Getting dark now and still quite foggy It's gonna I thought we'll show it to you in this light and then we'll have another look round when it's really dark. So there's chessnade zoo, which is Kessington and witchnade together So as we come up here, we should Start to see the Lit up model village and we arrive here at Green Haley station, which is model of Beckinsfield station You can see the lights are on so we won't have to wait too long. We'll see a train and The railway line runs off in this direction and you'll just see More gauge one tracks down there. It does a big loop around the windmill all coming along. There's a Stans vans. That's a rail motor. What we'll do though I'm hoping to see a train come along here because I like this section. This is quite new. This is their brush factory You can just see behind the row of shops all nicely Let's just hang around here, and I'm sure train will come along fairly soon. That's Q their southern region Q-class locomotive some of the trains have got lights on so They'll we'll be able to appreciate them more when it gets dark his Clark College University There's just over there is North Beckinscott station so Beckinscott the main town has two stations all and this is what I was hoping to see just coming Station now look at this We chase this train To the tunnels here. Have a look that is Father Christmas's train Let's watch him go past so here's Beckinscott the main town and from here We get a great view over the lake and to concede a whole village There's dusk falls as night falls Here's Beckinscott Minster See if you're singing Christmas carols Leave them to sing their carols will go further Into the village and see what else we can see because if we see a father Christmas train again And it stopped that's Mary Lou station the main hub of the Beckinscott railway network We're gonna look over there. I can see the father Christmas train We have a camera to pick it up, but he is just going around the lake over there. Just have a look at this scene There's a signal box. That's where the gauge one model railway is controlled from There's the harbour down there Here comes father Christmas. I just saw the train pass through the station So he's about to come over the via that so we'll watch him from here He'll go through the signal box and Come into the station. In fact, he might even stop in the station So if he does stop then give us a chance to to have a look Or has he's no here he comes here That's that's not father Christmas train that's their other a tank engine. Oh, no, he's stopped over here. There he is He's just leaving. I think he's probably gonna stop at Mary Lou station So this time it will be father Christmas. So the miniature father Christmas. That's how he gets around on a train I think we'll do now. We'll Have a look at have a look at the new town There's one other thing I want to show you while it's still lightish and then we'll just see Let it get dark and see what else we can see So this is Beckinscott new town of its tube station Hanson Road Can you the church bells ringing? I've got the big church Hoover Luxe that's a Model based on the Hoover building in the main square Beckinscott new town Got and this is the town hall of them. It's long as it's the town in France that Beckinsfield. It's twin roof Church bells stopped always enjoy coming up here seemingly new town And of course The views you get from the new town Over Beckinscott Let's build in here You may remember a while ago. I did a video called Lost Stations of Uxbridge the real building featured It's called Debonals here, but in Uxbridge. It was a department store called Randalls What I'm gonna do now There's one thing around this side of the village to show you and then we'll wait for it to for night to fall properly and We'll have a look around when it's really dark. It's a minority of talks for that It should look quite spectacular just got a very nice atmosphere here with the fog and the daylight fading away What's that would race course? Well, that is really bright on camera It would race of course. Sorry not it would and Winchwood race course just beyond Hedge here something new and exciting look at this Winter has come to Beckinscott I've had a little snowfall and the weather forecast predicted no snow over the wider village Just snow here Even low village green. You can see everyone's got their snedges and someone's making giant snowball Yeah, really winter really has come to Beckinscott I'm gonna do now. I'm just gonna perhaps go and get a cup of tea and then we'll come another look round further When the night really has fallen. I've just had a second ride on the train in the dark So I'm gonna do now We'll go and have another look around Beckinscott see it in the real dark and we can see All the lights and well, just see how Beckinscott looks at night. So come in There's not much here because this is the zoo and I suppose at a zoo it would all be in darkness Torps as well So as we get to the area above the lake Down there's Greenhailey station. I can hear a train. Yeah, the train just coming up round the windmill Look out over there. You can see the various buildings lit up Not sure if this is a train with lights on you. I think it is so what we'll do We'll then try and follow it round. So you see the station The train just going around the windmill now Brighton, it's not stopping but if we go down here, we can see it get past So Brighton disappears off into the night. We come into Beckinscott town once again in full darkness But there's things you might not normally notice which you can only really see in the darkness have a look that's the town hall inside there's actually There's a whole table all set up which many visitors don't notice and down there we have a group Singing Christmas Carols. This is Beckinscott town station. I can just hear a train coming in. It's GK. It's GK Chesterton Stopping at the station and I put them inster. They're still singing their Christmas Carols So we'll just have a bit of a walk around Right into the heart of the village in the dark We'll go up to the Beckinscott Newtown because I think that's particularly spectacular at night You see out there the bandstand in the middle of the lake and just see the reflection So I showed you around here earlier when it was still daylight, but now let's see it at night Something really nice about just being up here in the daylight and sorry in the in the dark It's also very nice in the daylight, but being up here in the dark. It's just Just just quite exciting being in this miniature Land and I'm the only person here Everyone else has gone home. Most of the visitors wait just when it got dusk Church bells are still ringing Just walk down this street here and back out into the village. Let's step in all's again Go and finish over here by The fairground so I've had a great afternoon here at Beckinscott model village and evening and hopefully enjoyed it Do come and visit them If you're watching this video just after I published it you can still catch them there over until the 20th of December so why not come and see the village for yourself at night if you're watching this a lot later on then just come and visit Beckinscott anyway and If you want to see it and at night This happens every year. It's an annual thing you get to see the village lit up towards the end of the season I know so I finished by the fairground, but actually I've changed my mind. I thought take you down to the main lake I'll finish down here. So thank you very much for watching. Please do feel free to like subscribe and comment From Beckinscott model village.
