- This video has been my most challenging yet, in both the filming and editing aspect.
It was all taken over two visits in one week, lots of material then to edit in to some kind of continuity, please say it has worked!!
I must apologise for the signals once again, some were working ...others not so.
That is my rant over, so I sincerely hope you all enjoy what you see.
great video me and my 8 years old son loved witch it and my son watchs all the pete waterman modeltrain layouts all the time he is 8 and started to build his our layout thank you pete waterman and dave cooper and all of you
Thank you for this heartwarming comment Robert, and so pleased your 8 year old son is interested in railways.
Hope you continue to watch the videos, and best wishes to you and your son.
So real its unbelievable!
The camera work too, also deserves an Oscar!
Keep up the great work 😉
Many thanks indeed for you kind comment, It is appreciated.
Wow fantastic video fantastic layout and must say pete waterman was a truly nice guy when the wife and i met him. The best thing about your filming is you get to ground level unlike all the eye of god videos. Just thought about time I thanked you and pete waterman for the pleasure of these videos.
WOW!!!!!!! WHAT A FANTISTIC VIDEO. CONGRATULATIONS DAVE REALLY ENJOYED WATCHING AS MANY MORE PEOPLE WILL TO . NOT FORGETTING PETE WATERMAN TO FOR ALLOWING THE WORLD TO ENJOY HIS DREAM .
What a fantastic tribute, I cannot expect anything better than this comment....thank you very much. All I can say is, if you could spend hours and hours watching, I could spend hours and hours filming (and editing).
It is truly an amazing model railway, and hope to make many more videos in the future.
Wow ,Fantastic , An incredible model railway. What can i say. I'm gobsmacked.
You know, I have been going there on a regular basis now for 5 years, and I still feel that way every time I go.
It is a truly amazing layout, and I try to film as much of it as possible so you guy's can get some idea what it is like.
Thank you for your compliment, believe me it is a pleasure to film, edit and of course share this superb layout.
As it is on Pete Watermans private property, it is impossible for the general public to see it live. So the next best thing is to film it and share it on you tube.
I have asked about a track plan, and it seems the original is now nothing like the present day layout...It has been altered so much.
So I regret to say I can't help you with that....sorry.
Luv looking over the scenery!!
Another super video from pete and his modelling chaps👍
+n moughton : The scenery is brilliant, and getting better all the time, thanks for the comment....we all appreciate it.
I remember watching one of P.Ws train and modelling DVDs and he said this amazing layout is a source of power through difficult times.
This is perfectly true, it was a very personal moment....and this layout helped him through a difficult time.
Brilliant Dave. What a film. Apart from the layout what you have done to transform the "barn " is an achievment in its own right, with all the lighting in the ceiling etc. And with the go pro camera we can see all the other places not normally seen in your other films. Like the fiddle yards for example. Superb shots of the two Castles running alongside. Nice to see you have a model of my favourite preserved loco. 5043 the Earl. An amazing film Dave.Thank you. All the best.
Excellent!!
Thank you very much.
this is great, when I was a kid, the layout at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry was huge but this is greater by far.!
Absolutely awesome video, great camera work and the ride along made you feel like you were riding on the front of a real train, I've always enjoyed watching the clips of this layout I could spend hours and hours doing so. I think my favourite parts of this layout have to be the run through the green valley and the epic track layout near the station. Here's looking forward to many more years of Leamington Spa.
Superb filming Dave and very well done. You've captured the glorious scenery and quality of Pete's railway and show it at it best. The on-board shots are breathtaking. It is wonderful to see mainline locos, trains, running at speed in such wonderful scenery rather than a on a plain test track like at Telford etc.
Regarding your thoughts 'explored every avenue' and 'I'm spent'. Not a chance of it Dave. Your just getting warmed up for better things. Thanks for a wonderful video Dave, superb.
Great video Dave..! all it lacked was smoke and steam and the clanking of coupling rods.!
The uncut pro end was really good... if one ignored the ceiling and background it could have been anywhere.. Nice work again Dave, thanks..
Now that is a film worth waiting for! Many congratulations from Germany!
Excellent filming Dave great to see the layout at low level gives you a sense of how well the scenery is made and the superb track work.
It must be in a descent size room bur ha if you got the money why not.
Cheers Kev.
I totally agree with you, I don't like filming locos passing at danger...it really bothers me as well. Can't wait when all the signals are working.
But I am pleased you still enjoyed the video....thanks.
I loved the cab-view shots. This is the first video I've seen that shows the extensiveness of the fiddle yard. Thanks for posting it.
How about another camera train video?
As this one is now two years old, it would be great to do an update showing all the changes. Would it be possible for you to post a cab ride round both the inner and outer routes in each direction (i.e. all four circuits for maximum coverage)?
mpeterll I agree with you, and would love to do the same again now. BUT, it took me a LONG time to persuade Pete Waterman to agree the first time......so don't hold your breath.....sorry!!
Thank you Andy, very much appreciated. It was very difficult to edit...but well worth it. For the first time, I must admit....I am happy with it.
I reckon you can expect many more comments like these Dave, the video is bloomin' perfik mate well done........
I onlly could say: WOW Im speechless.
A very great layout and wonderfull filming of the very big layout.
I admire the doer and all helper. My best wishes for the future and: Make so on.
It´s admirable, what ther is going on!!!
Thank you so much for your comment, the fact the film made you speechless means I have done my job right. Thank you also for the good wishes, very kind of you.
Thank you very much indeed for this wonderful comment. As you say, Pete Waterman is truly a nice guy.
I can tell you the pleasure is all mine, just love filming this fantastic layout, and the pleasure of editing (along with some stress at times!).
Then when poeple say they have had pleasure watching, it is the icing on the cake for me.
Great movie dave you really get to see alot of the layout, Great action shots just ahead of the loco. Much better than fixed shots.
Thanks
Phil LMRS
+Phil Garner : I try to do something different as much as I can, but it is getting very difficult now. Hope I can make future videos as interesting as I can.....I am sure I will be told if I don't.
s
Many,many thanks Roger, that means a lot to me.
I agree in giving thanks to Pete Waterman, he really is a TOP man!!
Thank you so much, it is very pleasing when I am told they have enjoyed my work.
The loco was 4215 @ 31:48
Great video, fantastic detail.
Wonderful model railway superb camera work Dave really enjoyed it Thanyou for taking the time to share it .If you make another could you include a track plan within the video to help relate the position of shots
Thank you very much (danke sehr viel tatsachlich) for your comment, I appreciate that. Very pleased you enjoyed the film.
Superb layout obviously, but also absolutely superb filming Dave. I can sympathise with the editing headaches, been there - although not at your level. Personally I wouldn't lose the ceiling and background, it's a MODEL railway when all's said and done.
Looks like Ivo Peters' Bentley at the start of the film. Presumably Ivo's down the embankment with his 16mm cine camera...........
Best regards - Ed
Thank you for your very positive comment, and the nice things you have said regarding my photography, I really do appreciate that.
Well spotted, it is of course Ivo Peters Bentley.
Once again, many thanks indeed for taking the time to write this lovely comment.
It bothers me as well to see them pass danger, but the track is still an on going project and not all the signals are linked up yet.
I will be as pleased as anyone once they are all operational.
Hope it didn't spoil the enjoyment of watching the video.
Many thanks Kev, the room is 125ft by 60ft.
I am pleased you have noticed the scenery, it is a work of art.
Thank you for your comment.
Again, thank you for your comment, I appreciate people taking their time to write something. I wish I was professional enough to photoshop the ceiling and background out on the film.
So glad you liked it, if you are interested there are more of Pete Watermans model railway on you tube.....check them out.
Thank you for your comment.
You are right Andy, I belive the term is.....I'm spent!!
As far as ideas are concerned anyway, I have explored every avenue now.
Well....what can I say to that!
Many, many thanks indeed for your wonderful comment.
It really makes all the effort to edit these videos worthwhile, when people like you take time to say how much you have enjoyed watching.
I have thought of what to do next time.....so keep watching.
Take care, and maybe meet you again sometime at PW's.
WOW, what a fantstic comment.....thank you so much for that, it means a lot to me.
The GoPro is an advantage I must admit, giving me more location options.
I have another idea for a great film, it is being organised as we speak....so watch out for that.........coming soon.
Thank you once again.
Thank you, thank you so much for this fantastic compliment.
As the layout is on Pete Watermans private property, and obviously the public cant see it in person....then the videos are a great way to see how great it is.
I do try my best to cover every aspect of the layout to make it as if you are there.
Thank you.................
Thank you Mr. Gyde, you should see the layout....it's great (Andy).
Loved the steamies. It's enough to make one wonder how Pete managed to afford all that he's got now. It's good that he has a passion for steamies like me. I'm a 00 gauge modeller, and if you'd like to visit my channel Kelly Ashford Trains, you will find model and real railway videos among other subjects. I'm not trying to make Pete go down a scale, not my idea at all. Perhaps he might like to see my 00 gauge Cat Valley Steam Railway alongside you. You'll only see steam engines running. I have an updated collection of 30 model steamies altogether. A proper timetable is on the cards, beginning with Great Western Gala. Keep your eyes peeled. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
I am pleased you like the video, and the camera I use (you will be surprised to know.....as it isn't a professional camera at all) is:
A Panasonic HDC-SD60 full HD camera.
As you can see, the results are outstanding.
One tip though, always go for class 10 memory cards with 40MB's transfer rate. This will make sure there a no frame drops...and belive me, that will make a big difference.
Very nice video.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Glad you liked the `Movie`, thank you for the comment.
Very good indeed,great trackwork,a huge difference to my Lionel prewar tinplate rattlers,I wouldn't have the patience or the cash to do good scale work like this,thats why I have Lionel toy stuff which has its own charm, no worries about scale.
Although I did notice a few giants on here!
Don't forget, there has been a LOT of people involved in creating this layout.
Had it been just one person...this would not look the same.
Thank you for your comment.
Nice vid & editing , an ice db train going flatout would look cool on this system..but this would never happen lol....jim
You are dead right, a DB loco on this layout will never happen....too modern.
I have nothing at all against DB, but not here I'm afraid.
Pleased you enjoyed the video, and thank you for your comment.
truly amazing yes it worked
david hadden Thank you, appreciate your comment.
Not sure on the exact measurements, but it covers a complete barn.....so roughly 160' x 70'.
Trouble is though Dave............where do you go from here?
I'll tell you what, it has probably been done (but not on film)!!!
How big is this model railway?!!!!
Roughly 140' x 75' .
I am sorry to tell you, as the layout is on his private property, it wouldn't be right to have the public visiting.
Will this layout ever be opened to the public? I'd willingly pay to see this.
I'm afraid not, as it is on private property.....sorry.
Dave Cooper. That's alright, the video's are great. Having worked with the general public for decades, I understand there would be problems. Thanks for your reply.
@@petergrossett6763 No problem Peter, and sorry if you are disappointed.
Hi Dave does Pete have any open days to see his layout in person as I would love to take the wife and boys to eiw it regards Dave
why are the diesels driverless, as with some of the steam locos
That is how Pete Waterman wants it, and it is his layout.
