Still one of the most realistic British model railway layouts: Knaresborough - The Worlds End

  • This British model railway layout is based on the North Yorkshire market town of Knaresborough, its railway station and surrounding area. The modern image 4mm/ft scale model railway layout has been constructed by Pete Goss. The layout has only a simple branch line theme with trains running through the station on a twin track continuous circuit run. Also featured is the large stone built and ornate viaduct over the River Nidd which is around 5 feet long. The layout was set in the time period around 2005 to 2015, so the rolling stock includes the modern day colourfully liveried DMU’s and several long special model trains.
    Modelling this miniature world was for Pete an exciting journey into authentic model building construction that produced an array of architecturally interesting buildings taken from High Street and Market Place in the town centre together with parts of Finkle Street, Kirkgate, Waterside, Riverside and Water Bag Bank. The name “Worlds End” refers to the pub that features at the front of this layout. Knaresborough’s railway station and town scene were already the subject of a video by Pilentum Television. However, this version is digitally remastered with authentic rail sounds and Pilentum’s unique musical melodies.
    Have a nice Saint Nicholas Day, and enjoy the Feast of Saint Nicholas with your family!

    To all the people commenting that this model is missing litter, graffiti, homeless people, etc - this is a model of Knaresborough, it’s a beautiful, well cared for little town which attracts lots of tourists. It doesn’t look like a busy city centre or some run down industrial area and really does look like this. A superb model

      It’s a fantastic layout , one of the best I’ve probably seen , one question however, how do you know there are no homeless in knaresborough, and surely as beautiful as town as it is , there must be a bit of litter somewhere

    The people of the village gradually became suspicious of their circumstance when a young bloke from one of the local families attempted to go swimming in the river, only to find, to his utter confusion, that all the water was solid resin. To the townspeople's horror, they finally realized the explanation for why the train never really went anywhere and always carried them back to the same place.

  • @ChrizRockster
    @ChrizRockster Před 3 lety +2

    From this I've learnt that what makes a great model scene / diorama - is...
    1.) Lots of different gradients / levels rather than large flat areas including large and subtle ones.
    2.) A finish that leaves no gaps or questions as to what its trying to show.
    3.) Scratch-built elements offer a unique touch.
    4.) Small elements that are cohesive, the entire model is a snapshot of a moment in time. For example the Civil War Battle Re-enactment and then the Banner near the Pub advertising it.
    5.) Having a God skill level such as the level that Pete Goss shows here!

      @kennethsrensen7706 Před 3 lety

      Totally agree on that .
      I would further like to add
      6.) remember to add dirt to the scene ,
      like a crushed cola can and waste paper on street and garbage that
      didnt make it to the bin and such.
      I have seen many very realistically cool and nice models but the last detail they lack .
      No city and place is without humans garbage and no backyard is nice clean , there is always some who
      doesnt care and trash is piling up ...
      ( some of the areas look ' too clean ' despite the gradients and detail was so great )

    So good I had to watch it twice. Breathtaking modelling.

    This is amazing! All those details and even the sounds are great!

    That is an incredible piece of work, I applaud the time and effort that must have gone into achieving that level of detail. Now I know what I should have been doing during lockdown rather than watching CZcams.
