Title: Model Town - TV Series
Post by: Sprintex on January 29, 2012, 10:21:36 AM
On Discovery Shed channel all day today, series about building a model railway.

Started at 10:00 and is on until 5pm - looks like a OO model but might be handy for construction tips  :thumbsup:

Wonder if it might be worth a search on the old interwebs for a copy of it...

Its repeated tonight (Monday morning) from 0100 hrs. Well, they are showing 11 episodes I think, is that the lot? I have seen it a few times but I prefered Garden Railway, which I thought was a better watch.


Cheers

They showed 14 episodes today which I think is the entire series, they've cut a few out for tonight's re-screening  :-\

I saw this series a few years ago,not sure when though.I quite enjoyed it at the time but as I didn't have any money then,I just forgot about it.Now its on again,I'll be plussing it to watch at my leisure.And I might watch an episode or two tonight when I get home from the boozer.

Having a few drinkies tonight,I'm off work till wednesday so may have more than a few me thinks.

Brilliant series watched every one of them and the way Simon Farmer put a story to it added to its build. Would like to get hold of those flashing neon signs he had, and i have followed the idea of the wire underneath to fix the street lights. couldnt understand the plasma ball though

If you do a search in You Tube you can find clips of some of the programmes  :thumbsup:

If anyone has recorded them onto a PVR hard drive then it could be downloaded onto a computer then onto dvd but it would take up a fair bit of time unless they were kept as the original data files.

cheers John.

Considering the dross that turns up on DVD, it's a shame that decent programmes like this don't get released on disc. Probably would have a few years ago, but with so many sat channels, it can get to a wider audience on the telly.
