For some reason, I found this cool. Probably because of the Triang Super 4 points and motors :-[

Or possibly the condescending attitude of reporters of the day.

Lovely! A real reminder of how fun trains can be.

I particularly liked the Rocket racing a Castle.....if only!

I can explain it to you...

"Don't talk to me about diesels!"

What a wonderful programme - my kind of thing. Thank you for posting it.

The signals might be '0' gauge (or even Gauge 1) but they work.

Didn't the trains run well? I believe if the operator is wearing a tie, the trains will perform better.

By the way, the polo-necked presenter chappie is vaguely familiar.

Thanks again and all good wishes.

The Table-Top Railway is an attempt to create, in British 'N' gauge,  a 'semi-scenic' railway in the old-fashioned style, reminiscent of the layouts of the 1930s to the 1950s.

Looking at all the clutter I was wondering if "James the Trains" might be a distant relative of Mr Trebus  :laugh:

Well, that was a great watch.
Reminded me a little of the chap who used to run the model railway and shop in Tavistock, he was still going strong in his eighties, but had shut the shop. He invited me into his home after I had mistakenly knocked on the shop door (which was in his outbuilding) and he had a great big O gauge set up in his living room, which I believe extended into the dining room. Years previously I had relieved him of a troublesome Triang Hymek in the devil's gauge, which it transpired just needed new pick ups on the back bogie, for just a few quid. Although he had no time for diesels he was a lovely bloke.
