  • We’re in the Cathedral setting the layout up. This will be the first time the layout has been fully assembled.
    Setup will take place over two days with the first getting the baseboards in and aligned.
    See the team as we problem solve this first time assembly.
    See the exhibition from: 26-JUL-2023 through 02-SEP-2023 at Chester Cathedral.

    I shall definitely be visiting the cathedral again to have a look at the finished layout after watching all of Dave's video's. This will be my 3rd. visit as I do appreciate the quality of the work which has gone into making a unique piece of miniature engineering. Everyone involved in the design and build deserves a medal.

    Good luck with your exhibition gentlemen, and very well done for all of your hard work in making this layout a reality. It’s been fascinating watching all of the videos of the making of this epic layout!
    I’m very much looking forward to seeing trains running! 👍🏻❗️🚂😊

    Absolutely fantastic 👍🏻 What we do without Pete Watermans enthusiasm for railways model or the real thing 😊 I’ve booked our train ticket for a visit on Saturday the 12th of August 👍🏻 Great footage Dave.

    Very interesting: specially the way the baseboards, frames & legs come together in a unique way. EG no need for diagonal bracing. Thanks very much for producing this video.

    12:46 I feel like there needs to be a couple of those stands in a smaller length on rollers. That way there aren't guys standing there for ages and ages holding up a panel of end section on their own. Drop it onto a rolling table section to the same L girder design and save everyone's backs and bodies where possible.
    Recommend some simple alignment blocks under the modules aswell. If it can slide around while joints are being aligned, whats to stop it sliding off the legs all together? 4x or 6x blocks under the modules to align them along the L girders faster and more securely.

      @@deltic223 The majority of the sound wasn't in sync, but also there was a lot of E'fin this and that and then the vicar turned up. anyway not an issue now its 2 minutes shorter I think now.

    Such an amazing layout. Some old fella's faffing about and then there it is. You can't do better than that. Is that 8 EIGHT BOARDS LONG Brilliant.

    I am not a model railway enthusiast per se but I was delighted that you decided to feature Milton Keynes Central in your display, very realistic, so well done. Any chance you could persuade Centre MK to feature the display in Middleton Hall in the Shopping Centre?

    Phhhhhh, I shouted a lot during this set-up, I presume that's the first time any of the team has put this together...? Wolf-man trying to get his 90 to run while the rest of the trainset was still on the floor COME ON. . . does it have alignment dowels? or rely on those bits of scrap wood to hold it together? My team of six would have either of our large layouts up in one and a half hours, track cleaned, test train run and points and continuity done, if we weren't in the pub by six, something well wrong, and the layouts were 30 foot long and twelve wide, so yeah, half the size, but a bigger fiddle yard....

      @@nickrails yup, I concur... I guess mrbluesky hasn't followed what's been happening to build this in the deadline and get it there. and the control system..and the announcement boards... and the stock...and the automated DCC systems running it....
      I exhibit my 40 foot x 16 foot O gauge layout, and yes, it goes up in a couple of hours...but that's because it's been out 30 odd times, and the team know it backwards, and the snags have been.....snagged 🙂
      To build a 60 plus footer with the technology involved in the timescale and get it ready... astounding.
      I guess if there wasn't at least one snarky comment... it wouldn't be the internet.. 🙂
