Pete Waterman’s World Record beating Train Set!, CAB ride.

- Join us on a not so quick CAB ride along the scenic section of Pete Waterman’s record breaking model railway at Key Model World in the NEC.
The scenic sections total 260 feet and there’s an equally large fiddle yard to get you back to the beginning.
This was early Saturday morning before the exhibition opened. The layout was still being commissioned. It was difficult enough just maintain track power as people were working on the layout at the same time.
A fast train takes about 5 minutes to travel the scenic sections, not bad for what is largely a straight line.

I went to Model World Live on day 2 (Sunday). I got to meet Pete Waterman and get a selfie with him. What an amazing achievement Pete and crew... many congrats 👍
Brilliant and the giant signs of the Food Bar and locomotive.
So realistic.
Mindblowing! I thought this layout was immense when I saw it in Chester a few years ago. Looks like it's been extended considerably since then! Spent many a day spotting at MK Central (and Wolverton) as a kid, so that bit was cool and a bit nostalgic. Can't imagine how much dosh Pete has put into this but it is truly an incredible labor of love, and a pat on the back for the many hands and brains needed to set up and run this monster is much deserved!
Well done Pete and his volunteers for a remarkable layout and achievement
Such an excellent job, the people almost looked like giants since the set was so realistic!
This looks really like a 1:1 cab ride, no shortcuts in track layout due to space constraint, all is scaled down from the real track alignment. A quick calculation shows that 6 kilometers / 3,75 miles of real railway is modelled in the scenic section here and the train is doing a scale 72 km/h or 45 mph . Impressive!
The length of that track, and attention to detail of the shrubbery etc, is absolutely unreal!
Well done, to all involved with this amazing feat.
👍

Tremendous effort, I can even recognise the rugby grade separation near the end (my childhood station). My cousin would love this, he has modelled rugby station himself. Massive respect to all
Superb
Absolutely fantastic! I couldn't believe how long that journey was. So much work and so much effort. A world record richly deserved!
Wonderful layout, very atmospheric and realistic!
Mind-boggling Genius, on display, throughout this Unique
Video,Mr. Waterman!Thanks!!

Stunning guys....terrific and smooth as silk, very impressive. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing it with us all. We'll deserved records and award.
Very very impressive, fantastic , the whole effect is brilliant,
Absolutely smooth track and straight as an arrow when called for. Excellent video thanks
Congratulations for creating such a world record model railway. That was a fabulous ride.
That was well trippy. It's like you're going at 70mph then you see man walking next to you.
Great video Dave, and a great effort by the team to achieve a World Record 👏👏👏
Own up, who was slightly disappointed the tunnels weren't fully lined as exposed rock effect and looked damp. Well done all. Great layout
But they wouldn't be exposed rock anyway they would be brickwork.
Incredible,never miss a vid.
Had to stop for a toilet break at Milton Keynes 👍
Incredible layout, great team of people building and running it and a great weekend at Key Model World Live
Apart from the massive size I am really impressed with the catenary, the masts seem the correct distance apart and it zig zags like the prototype.
That was Amazing ,all your hard work has really paid off .😊& with a good team behind you it’s a job well done 😊.
Great video, I'm glad this was done as there may not be another chance - or will there? Congratulations to all involved, it's been an amazing project to follow.
Just awesome lads well done to everyone
Wow! that was amazing!
For a few seconds it looks like its racing the big Class 37.
How about moving the camera forward a couple of inches and using an old donor Hornby Class 86 chop off one of the cabs and fit it around your camera !
That was amazing! However, those trackside worker figures in the reflective vests were not to scale.
Great video Dave the layout looked great at the NEC on Saturday. The cab view looks inceadable. Once again well done To Pete and all the Railnuts .Look forward to the next load of videos and the new layout for Chester.Hope you all are taking a break.😁
It definitely is a fantastic video! It's good to see the layout from the view 😊
@@AJGossTrains totally agree Andy.will you be involved it future builds?
@@richardswiderski4985 Yes i definitely will be 😁
That's good night see you at Chester .
Just Fantastic.
Oh to have that much space "to play trains".😍
That's insane!!! Insanely brilliant. :)
Superb
congratulations Dave on a very successful weekend. i take it you will take many days to recover. Saw you hard at work with your camera on various youtubes. Caroline
Really cool foliage beside the tracks.
Fantastic video, Dave!! 😁👍🏼
That's awesome, well done 🤓
It looks so fast until you see a guy *walking* faster!
That is a remarkable layout! I drive over the real railway and I am impressed with how accurate it is. It should have been done "right-road" though.
Absolutely fantastic.
I now want a model railway (the wife says NO😢)
Thats fine. No more eyelash, nails or hair appointments then.😂
Whilst I'm not interested in today's railways, preferring instead the Edwardian times and the 1950s, this is impressive!
Interesting that its quieter in the non scenic parts (tunnels). Is that because of the lack of ballast? That Bushey viaduct was absolutely amazing.
Next week Pete heads to Hertfordshire to unveil his layout depicting the whole of the East Coast Mainline in O-Gauge.
cool vid on channel well done get the world record
It would have been nice to see the engine before you began. Great non the less.
Thanks Dave for capturing the whole journey. Chris looking for stolen cars?
Congratulations on your World Record, are there any plans to display it again this year? Provided you can find a venue large enough 😅
what a track. Great to see Hagrid at the end. Must have been waiting for the Hogwarts Express
Absolutely brilliant great inspiration be great to see really long trains running if that was possible ? Well done
Something didn't quite add up for me there, south of Rugby there is only one over bridge , Clifton road. The other bridge at 5:00 minutes, shown approximately 400yards south was an occupation bridge demolished at the time of electrification.
Having a dream and then having the wherewithal to realise it.
A great achievement to get it so far along the track towards miniature mainline, even with whatever funds and however many team members.
Having delighted in seeing the various videos and TV programmes on various iterations of this, there usually _are_ people.
But I've never seen a single animal in any of the otherwise beautifully captured fields.
Wass rong wiv im? Doan ee loyk cowz or summat?
It is an amazing model. Why was this 'cab ride' all 'wrong line' with no working signals?
Amazing...og utrolig...(Norwegian)
I'd like to see a photo of the power supply.
Milton Keynes woooooooh
Incredible layout just how big is this layout, is it a permanent layout ie does it just stay in one location or is it a exhibition layout because I imagine that it would take some time to set this layout up
Well done for getting it all running. I love all the curves. Next time, perhaps, there will be little people on the platforms? Perhaps they are camera shy? Or did they arrive once the layout was completed?
I didn't see the ovaltine factory at Milton Keynes 🏴✌️
That's because it's at King's Langley.
@@davidray6762 okay David, what's the big factory at MK, I used to load at a factory there, I was sure it was Ovaltine, 🏴✌️
I wonder if Sir Rodney Stewart had any part of this....
An interesting trip, 'in the land of giants', it seems & sounds to be going a fair clip, until the bloke walking alongside outpaces it without even trying.
I think that the camera should have been placed further forward to avoid looking at the base of the rolling stock.
Wrong line working? 😅😅😅
Its on the 'Up' fast. Quad track. The 'Down' is further over if you look.
That’s what I was thinking, heck of a train set though 👌
Not sure if I missed them but are there any signals?
The one niggle I see a lot is rails in real life are a rusty brown and on layouts its that one thing overlooked... Awesome layout nevertheless, the stuff of dreams lol
Why are they wearing high viz jackets? Is that in case the trains don't "see" them? :)))
Don’t remember seeing any signals at the show, did they run out of time for signalling?
I doubt if the reason was money.
Such a tiny layout lads! Can't all of you build one at least decently a little larger, eh!
🥇 🏆 ❤👍
What's with all the Hi-Viz???
Where is it located?
Why's it on wrong track?
Continuously welded rail! Not a clickity-clack to be heard.
Why running on wrong track ?
£££££!!!!
Why are they all dressed in hi viz jackets? It's not likely that they are at risk of being run over by a train.
Lots of fat contollers present and correct I see!!
I'm not going to be popular for saying this, but it's boring, technically it's excellent, the work on all the fine details and buildings is superb,but in the end all it really is, is just a very large loop of mainline with a few stations and a couple of sidings that have no obvious use other than as storage locations. This does not detract from the quality of the work and the use of a modern setting is very nice. But Pete's desire for no people I feel makes it somewhat soul less. That said the sheer size of it is impressive, as an individual technically I am in awe, but emotionally I'm at a mehh stage. I'm not even sure if it will encourage more people to have a go themselves, it's after all not as if even Pete can have it set up and running in his own train barn.
If you want an impressively sized loop to set a world record it's a winner but if you want to encourage people to take up the hobby themselves then I think it fails Sorry 😞
Mind you dont get too many splinters sat on top of that fence!
@@fatwalletboy2 I can easily admit it is technically very good whilst still finding it boring, in many ways the late 1950's/early 1960's were probably the most interesting times for a model railway layout, lots of small stations with shorter platforms and most stations had goods or coal sidings or both, this to me has more interest and potential than just running long trains through stations.
Algorithm comment 👍
Cette vidéo n' a strictement AUCUN intérêt !!!
That's not a cab ride. Poor description!
That might have something to do with the fact he cant get in the cab. Duuuuuuurrrr.!
Pretty boring really as its just on one track, no points/ crossovers, greenery and empty vacuous stationor is it not finished 😂
Slot Car???👎
A fool and his money...
Spoilsport.

Beautiful job fella’s……shame the detail didn’t extend to people
