Greetings, fellow Railway Modeller’s and enthusiasts, without taking over The Vintage Planes, Trains and Automobiles Picture Show thread, with everything model related, thought it best to create a new thread to show our models, so whatever scale / standard you model in, everyone is welcome.
Just to prove you don’t need lots of space to have a model.
Richard Pike’s OO-9 4mm scale Lockden
and a few more from the East Riding’s Fine Scale Group’s 7mm masterpiece, Millicent Street
Have you got a link please.

Life at the manor, Is this the BIGGEST private model railway???
Although not primarily a model railway and it does have videos on YouTube, I can also commend Pendon Museum at Long Wittenham near Didcot for a visit.
There are 3 or 4 models and the upstairs has an extensive OO set up running through it but I believe the plan for that was to capture the look and feel of the Vale of the White Horse in the 1930s before it was lost forever. The sense of rural tranquility is captured and the effort put into the buildings has to be seen first hand.
You can also put that sense of authenticity to the test driving around the VOWH and the countryside around Didcot!
If you are also keen on the real thing, Didcot shed is Oxfordshire’s second most popular tourist attraction and close by. I used to take my son to both when he was in his train phase.
Thanks for posting, its certainly some size with interesting mix of UK and continental model’s.
Pendon is on my bucket list of Models I want to see, and agree about Didcot, I have been there a few times, although its a few years ago now.

I could look at these photos for hours on end

Thanks!

Great new thread looking forward to seeing layouts and videos from posters
This picture you posted was stunning
I loved the perfect scale of it and what really got me was the distress on the roof slate.

Cheers Ian, Millicent Street is a stunning piece of modelling, the attention to detail is awesome, normally life outside the railway fence is just rudimentary, On Millicent Street the buildings, street furniture is just as important as the rolling stock, just looking at the detail in the pavement above, cracked flags etc, its all there, and its not finished yet!
Gary
The models are outstanding.
Two guys I worked with many years ago Eddie Ford and Ian Stobbs both were well into their model railways. I think Eddie exhibited his models at exibitions - you might know him.
Sorry the names don’t ring a bell, now if you said the layout names, would have known straight away!
Thank you for the kind comments.
Gary
Pendon is a 4mm scale railway but it isn’t OO. It’s to EM gauge standards, EM for eighteen millimetres, to get closer to actual track and wheel sizes.
As a depiction of trains moving through a landscape it’s unparalleled and well worth a visit. Limited opening at weekends or some school holidays.
My bound copies of Railway Modeller from 1977 and 1978 sit on the top shelf of our bookcase as I type. I knew them almost word for word back in the day.
I never got round to bound copies of Railway Modeller, just well thumbed copies, are you still in to your modeling ?
Gary
Sadly not. It’s always there in my mind for when I finally retire full time though.
Great to see all these beautiful layouts.
Maybe nice to visit: in the Dutch Railway Museum in Utrecht there is the Ontrax model railways exhibition from 14 till 2025. See
On traXS 2025 - SpoorwegmuseumOntrax 2025 for details
Once bitten, it never leaves 
That looks amazing, and added to the list of places to visit, thank you for sharing
