DJ Dangerous Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 DJD Senior just sent me two photos from Bekonscot Model Village. I did a search on the forum but there are no results. If he sends and more, I'll add them later. Enjoy! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galteemore Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Fabulous. Used to pass this almost weekly! Some great ‘cab ride’ videos out there - it’s an amazing railway system. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 84C Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Wonder if they ever get the wrong sort of leaves on the track? My brain so quickly acclimatised to 4mm scale it took a couple of seconds to realise the big looming things were people! duhhh! Good cab ride though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Dangerous Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 Another few pics from DJD Senior... The scale of the whole set-up is very impressive! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) I saw a youtube clip somewhere of a "driver's eye view" where they've put a small camera, presumably on a wagon, being pushed about by a loco. While the views here are from "above", and the youtube thing was track level, this looks familiar. I have no idea what the youtube clip is called, unfortunately, but a bit of determined detective work might reveal it. (Update; Galteemore above has beaten me to it!!!! And it IS the same one......)

Westcorkrailway Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Looks to be a bit more complex then the West Cork Model Railway Village 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishmail Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I did visit Bekonscot a couple of times, must have been in the late 1980's. Very impressive set up. The railway is gauge 1 (10mm- 1') and the buildings are I think built to 1" to 1' scale, though different scales it blends in quite effective in this set up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I thought the West Cork equivalent was actually extremely poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
