Thank you!
About to watch , can’t wait . Used too collect lots of Hornby
Train spotters paradise is that.
Total loved the video deffo have to take a trip down to visit thankyou so much for sharing
Thank you!
I love trains and villages..
Always been into model railways and cars, I'm currently doing an N gauge layout, good thing is it's so tiny you don't need much space to keep one 🙂👍🏻
Wow what a great place to visit guys looks interesting if your into trains etc but great vlog guys 👍
Thank you
Great Video and I went myself with my wife a couple of years ago! The A4s/Mallard you were looking at in the cabinets. Were when hornby did live steam oo gauge locomotives and that shows you the inside of the locomotive boiler/Cylinders etc. These models are now discontinued due to production costs etc.
😂 it’s that guy from the Alton Towers videos I love! No escaping him.
Hornby Hobbies own Scalextric, Corgi & Airfix too 👍
It was great!
As a fan of not only theme parks & roller coasters, but also a model train fan; I am delighted.
I am indeed!
brought back memories 1960s one christmas, dad brought me a train set but was only a small scale one train that gos round and round on a small track kep me entertain for a few houres
27:30 that's their exhibition layout so that goes out to various model railway exhibitions and I would imagine they change up the scenery from time to time.
Thanks for sharing!
Model railways really are a thing you could get interested in! I love them! Next time your up south during the theme park season you should visit the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway or even the UK's longest 7&1/4 inch guage miniature railway at barnards farm. It also gives you can oppertunity to visit barnards farm of which I believe has some sculptures inside! Definitely worth a visit if your in the area. I havn't had the chance to but I reccomend you go if your near!
Thanks for your recommendation!
This brought back some memories! My dad had a whole loft set up for my brother and we managed to salvage it all when they moved house and before he died. It’s over 40 years old and includes the classic Intercity 125 replica and the freight Class 56. Can still hear the noise of the engines going round and the little switch tracks moving positions. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Thanks for sharing!
This was a very therapeutic vlog, words cannot do these mechanical models justice there’s something about them that’s so satisfying to watch them going around the tracks, not only do I enjoy some of these impressive models, my ultimate favourite ones are the Harry Potter James Bond Coca-Cola, car racing interactions, including the Christmas models with all of the festivities props theming fun fairs landscapes music lighting package, it makes us appreciate the importance of having our own unique little personal collection experiences as the collections themselves aren’t cheap they’ve got personal value to them haven’t they. Shawn? I somehow can recall that didn’t you physically go and visit the famous Santa Coca-Cola truck at one time, great vlog really enjoyed this 👍
A place I have got to go to and been meaning to go to for age's.
Shawn and Charlotte,
In the late forties and into the fifties My dad and I had a large Lionel Train set in a room in our farm house..
We had water towers, coal trains, milk trains...a lot of detail.
For many years there was a massive multi-level train display at a converted barn in Flemington, N.J..
It covered the entire American landscape with working trains, from city to desert.
It's gone but not forgotten.
I hope you achieve your dreams but never forget, it's the journey through life that is most important,
being in the now.
Cheers,
Frederick Spector
23:38 I have a hornby model railway in the loft at my home. I wish I had a big model like that one
Excellent video Shawn and Charlotte from the Hornby Hobbies Visitor Centre located in Margate! This awesome museum features rare products from the Hornby, Scalextric, Airfix, and Corgi archives along with spectacular Model Railway and Scalextric layouts! keep the good videos coming on the channel.
Looks like a great family day out thanks for posting this
We definitely recommend a visit
I love Theme Park Worldwide and all the vlogs from different Theme Parks, Water Parks, Hotels, Golf and other Themed attractions but i also find the videos from other places really interesting too on this channel, love both channels and what you both do, thankyou for giving us great insights and detail into all the amazing atrractions and places to visit not just in the UK, but around the woldz love both channels and never missed a vlog since i started proerally following you both sinec 2021, keep up the good work!
Thank you!
we switched from Gauge to scale. and also grade. the grade determines the amount of detail of a model. master and perfect being the absolute best. Scale is more to do with size. I built a couple of model railroads for Christmas but took them apart. My specialty is gundam and cars with diorama work. I don't do trains very well but cars and model robots are fine. diorama work boils down to what do you want to make or what do you want to recreate and plan out most of the layout with some exceptions to what you can get your hands on.
Thanks for sharing!
Great video you two!
Sean I'd love to see a series where you and your dad get the train sets back out and build a layout of your own!
I used to work at the factory back in the 80s. Started out printing Thomas the Tank engine faces, then the Rothmans scaletrix cars and then moved onto the Orient Express pullmans. They used to give long service employees models of certain trains on retirement ie Mallard etc. £65 per week and a £10 bonus if you weren’t late.
Thanks for sharing!
Got to get to that place one day. Love my die cast Corgi's and the trains 👍👍
I have my own model railway, also hornby owns scalextrix, corgi and Airfix
I collect model telephone boxes, buses, TV cars and animals
As a fan of railways generically, think anyone with a form of fascination for railways would have or did have an involvement in model railways however brief!
My liking for it started young but never ventured as far as having a permanent layout. I then followed on to model engineering whereby scaling down things from full size working locomotives to a miniature form.
I now have the privilege of having built working scale versions of a number of steam locomotives to which one you can sit within and others you sit behind and ride.
I've offered before prior to your channel name change but if you would like to prepare, steam up and operate a steam locomotive for the day, I'd be more than happy to make that happen.
I will attempt to find you on social media peripherals and contact you forwarding on this offer to you guys.
Keep up the awesomeness.
Thanks for sharing!
There is family near where I live who have created a similar museum, not specific manufacturer based, but its all over their home. Its free to visit but appointments are needed. They're booked out for at least a year! Very popular ... I love it!
Amazing video loved it would like to see your dads set up for his trains that he has got as it’s amazing when people do things like that
Hopefully at some point!
Great vid guys ..i live in ramsgate about 2 miles from there and must drive past hormbys at least once a week and never been inside but deffo will after watching this 👍
It’s great!
2:54 Thomas Models there’s Top Row
Edward, Henry, Gordon & Flying Scotsman
Bottom Row-Percy, Thomas, Ben, Toby & Bertie
17:57 the North East Corridor in the United States can't runner double deckers because of a few tunnels-but there are still Chicago routes that terminate in New York/Boston and DC that don't use the corridor that do. Most use the Superliners, but SoCal has the exclusive Surfliner which seems to just have a nicer/more spacious coach and different menu than the other bi-level routes
Obsessed with trains me! The HST at 10:36 was the exact livery I grew up with along with the Intercity Swallow livery as well. They're iconic trains
Amazing!
Great Vlog as always Shawn and Charlotte
Thanks!
@@TheSanbrookeAdventures you’re welcome
Those people , the "suits", seem so serious considering what their product really is, a joy to all ages,
and where is the Hogwart's Express????
Hogwarts Express was featured in the video!
I Went Last Year It's Amazing
Loved it!
There is a toymaster in Blackpool. Love the Harry Potter and Thomas areas xx
Model railways are fantastic, currently have an Ngauge layout and slowly progressing to a nice sized 00 gauge. The beauty of the model railway is, you can do it exactly how you want
That’s awesome!
Please visit Doncaster and Yorkshire Wildlife Park!
Would you consider going to heritage railways and vlogging around some in the future? I would be interested in seeing something like that
We would definitely like to in the future!
Ohh not too far from where I live! Might give it a go, like all things model! Ta both x
Definitely worth a visit!
Really enjoyed the Hornby visitor centre my mum runs a model train shop here in Sydney Australia for the past 33 years. She has train layouts as well. Definitely you and Charlotte should add a small layout to the themepark museum. They are great for children to entertain as well. Maybe a visit to a preserved railway would be good on the Sanbrook adventures as well. Love you guys keep up the great work. Hugs 😊 ❤
Thanks for sharing!
What's the name of the shop Catherine?
I think its funny opening OpenRailway, zooming on a theme park and see a coaster's track and seeing what gauge it thinks its in. I don't know if like Smiler uses a common railroad gauge-although I can see it a bit more so for Wickerman or that scenic railway in Margate, it is called a scenic railway after all
Maybe you could marry the two and have a model coaster in the world of theme parks?
We’ve got the Simpsons scalextric set at HQ!! Great fun to play with though we have a habit of stopping Homer at a point and Bart whizzing by knocks him off the track
Love this!
Very nice video my favorite part is the Hornby Thomas the tank engine collection 2:51as I grew up watching the original Thomas and friends model series and I hope to get to chance to visit the museum sometime in the future thanks for sharing this amazing vlog experience 👍❤️
Thanks for watching!
I'm half asleep and seriously had to triple take on that title as I thought it said something else.... 😬🤦♂😂
Same lol
The thing you was thinking would make for a hilarious vlog though!
@@CatsnCoasters 100% 🤣🤣

@@xIDarkSideIx haha
😊😊😊
I live just 10 mins from there and love it. Have you ever thought about going to a model railway exhibition. It displays loads of diffrent layouts at the same venue. There's exhibitions in Milton Keynes, Birmingham, York and alot more.
I would love to at some point!
Would love to see a train set up in the museum
Hi guys I’m currently working on my new oo guage layout unlike any I’ve seen based on the Blackpool express going round the pleasure beach and scale coasters and working rides in the middle of the layout based on early days blackpool trams running outside and illuminations
That’s awesome!
I know through experience that train sets are never completed. My dads was always a work in progress. I was never allowed to play because it was never “finished”.
You should have a visit to the Minitur Wunderland museum in Hamburg it is phenomenal
It’s great and will be back again next week!
You must go and visit Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg, didn’t think that the other half would enjoy it, but I had to drag her out some three hours later.
It’s brilliant! Visited a few years ago and loved it!
I , live far away in Tas , Australia , I do my own slot cars repairs , my models will go to hobby shop be repaired , so they more complex so , I get few serviced at hobby shop , this year , I sadly live alone , gets quite lonely , so apart from cbs support ladies , visit me , so my partner Liz lives her place she may go to more care , so me on my own so , very well laid out , and very impressed , so , I be 55 in July and I a big kid really , so lovely tour so , fantastic too , so well done , amazing , 😊
Hi, I also set up a model railway but lost interest after a while and its still left up in my loft 😅
If one day you set up your railway and ares still doing youtube I'd love to see the process 👍
You should go to the Harry Potter studio tour in Watford is really good. Highly recommend.
It’s great! We’ve visited a few times and filmed it over on Theme Park Worldwide!
@@TheSanbrookeAdventures fantastic I will have to check it out. I love the Harry Potter area at Universal Studios in Florida. Love the escape to gringotts bank ride. Also we are hoping to go back to Florida in 2025 when the theme park is built at Universal.
35:00 I have Diet Coke more often than regular Coke, and I like Diet Cherry Coke.
Another fine content of video as always Sean, just an observation though you might need to change your FPS settings, this one seemed a little juddery pal.. 👍🏼
Thank you for your feedback! I think it was due to to the lighting inside!
Awesome. How was it ?
It was great!
@@TheSanbrookeAdventures ah that's good
35:24 Im not a huge fan of Coca Cola myself but if id have to chose, it would be cherry coke.
I wanted to request that for Charlotte in the most nicest thoughtful 🤔politest way possible , I wasn’t quite sure how to ask you both if that’s ok by you as I genuinely care about my idols, family, friends, people, children and animals
Now is it Aidensfield station or Hogsmead station, that's the real question 😅
Choo Choo, so cheap to enter
Great value!
I never knew Charlotte's name is on an eddie stobart's lorry
Fun fact for you!
we’re was subbuteo 😂😂
I have no train models but I do have a model ship. She was beautiful, she had rotten luck on her maiden voyage and they tempted fate by calling her something she wasn’t. Can you guesse what model she is?
They could have placed the "if I am not working" signs better I think
Here is a cheeky link to my Hornby layout in our basement, it's an ongoing work in progress, as you found out it is an expensive hobby, but very rewarding!! czcams.com/video/sqTKEoRqdmk/video.html
Thanks for sharing!
Shawn? Out of interest as a request for Charlotte has she got a personal preference passion she’s got that she might like to share on both of these channels I know she’s a massive Harry Potter fan just like us TPWW sandbrooke Adventures supporters, I was wondering if she would have any thoughts suggestions we could virtually relate with her as well. As a fan I like to be able to support both of your passions.
Thanks for your kind words! Baking is something Charlotte loves doing too!
hi
I love Cherry Coke I don't drink any of the other Cokes 😂
no cherry coke thankyou
Shame all the models are made in China now...
If you're a hornby member you can get in for free.
That’s great!
