In this episode; Sam handles a holy relic of many people's childhoods with all the dignity it deserves.
and he edited out the big drop
I'm a bit surprised the curators put it in Sam's hands. Further, that the curators didn't make Sam wear gloves. This is no disrespect to Sam, he acquitted himself famously. Relics such as that deserve the utmost of care. Thomas wasn't part of my childhood, but I recognize what Thomas means to children. Well done Sam.
Still can't believe that the original models by Wilbert Awdry are still running smooth
We went on Saturday I couldn’t believe the son of a friend was helping running the Thomas stand. You can see him in the video. Nice to see him again after a while.
Well, they are really useful engines
Regular fixings
I remember being taken to a model railway exhibition in Bristol, by my parents somewhere around 1969 or 1970. I saw Rev Wilbert Awdry, who struck me as quite elderly, with what was probably this model (I was only a child and so can't remember that detail). I remember my father telling me that this old man has written books and is famous.
The Rev Awdry lay out is just great !!!
Great video Sam, (not forgetting Chloe’s input as well) Very good insight into Warley and to see some of the new and up and coming products on offer. A must for me next year.
It was great to meet you both! Thank you for taking the time to say hello!
Sam, you're a lucky man to find a partner who has fun at these things with you! My wife definitely supports my hobbies but would never go to a model rail expo! I've had to influence my daughters early on in life so I'll have someone to be excited with me 🤣 Just once in my existence I will aim to be travelling the UK at the same time as Warley! And I will be disappointed not to see you there! Cheers for the video. The expo looked awesome.
My wife, Tricia, insists on coming with me to exhibitions, she's a financial controller at work and I think that she accompanies me in an effort to limit my spending. Doesn't work because she keeps pointing me to things that she thinks that I want, she actually gets it right most times. Like Sam's girlfriend, Chloe, my wife also likes the model farm animals though in Tricia's case it's lambs and sheep that she likes.
Magic, thanks for sharing this. Unfortunately I was not able to attend and at least virtually I saw some of the things. What a wonderful time. Glad to see you and Chloe out and about. What a great setup, plenty of space and decent set out. Cheers Sam , great video.
Luke Ryan and Sam's Trains; two people I never thought I'd see in the same video.
Thanks Sam , excellent video ! Love the filming ! Keep up the good work really enjoyed it !
Loved this! ...thanks for bringing us along.👌✌
I need to go to Britain, ASAP
haha November 2023... bung it in your diary! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Excited for a possible review on the KR Models Shay seeing that it's almost done. Been looking forward to seeing an update on it for a while after seeing a sneak peak of it on a Model Railway News episode.
If you want to visit the Talyllyn Railway in Wales by car, I'd recommend staying in Aberystwyth it is a very nice seaside resort town with a cliff railway, castle, university and the National library of wales, Lots of pubs too. Aberystwyth also has it's own narrow gauge railway as well the Rheidol railway which goes to Devils Bridge waterfall. So two stream railways in one trip. And while down there you can also go to Aberaeron and New quay which are picturesque seaside villages.
I very nearly introduced myself as you appeared opposite me at the Hornby stand within 20 mins of being there. You were busy filming so didn’t want to intrude. Thanks for mentioning N gauge, the Rapido Dyno Car is very good news for our gauge as it shows continued support from another manufacture.
I love this style and type of content from you sam, keep up the amazing work :)
Totally enjoyed your visit. Yes the COWS make many a model. It was back in the 1980s that I got to meet Wilbert and get 2 signed books. Also a quick chat of my 5 inch gauge bits. A rare smile as the others were just after the signed books. I do love Toby and yes have a body and wheels started again in 5". I too love the People at Dapol but this year Having spent out on a Black Five Boiler kit and a 57XX in O Gauge have run out of money.
Thanks Sam. A great overview and really interesting. Hope to be there next year 🙂
Couldn't make it this year, so very much appreciated this tour, and felt like I was there in person! Thanks Sam!
I enjoyed this video. Thanks for posting the event!
Fantastic review and video. Look forward to your next video.
Hi Sam, I went on Saturday, I'm guessing this was Sunday as it doesn't look as busy. I spotted Little Wicket there and had a chat with Hornby's Simon Kohler, partly about TT and partly giving him some feedback. One thing I asked was about Hornby track being code 80 and Peco code 55 and whether they're compatible. Apparently there is a slight difference in height so my understanding is currently they're not, which is a shame, however they may look at doing something about that such as inlays to offset the height difference, although there's nothing currently in development. Also from both the Hornby internet live talk and what Simon told me I've learnt a few things about production issues. For instance that they use a number of different manufacturers in China, not just one. Because China are still doing full lockdowns when there is a Covid outbreak, production at some factories has often been halted. In some cases multiple times. A lot depends on the district and some have been hit worse than others. This is the main reason some models take longer than others from being announced to actually being available. I mentioned that this sort of info is exactly what customers want to hear, if we know the reason why models are delayed, why costs have risen so much or why model shops aren't getting the number of models ordered and so have to cancel orders then people are more understanding. Good communication of issues is really important.
Best video yet, very well done.
Thanks for the great visit report. Really interesting that you got to see TT in real life. It will also be interesting when people actually get to build layouts with it. Keep up the good work, and good luck finding a good range of cows for your railway!
People have been building TT layouts since 1965! TT - 3mm to the foot. The original TT.
Great vid, plus whilst I went to see the Rev. W. Awdry layout I got to help operate the engines. The engines I controlled were Thomas and Toby. 👍😁
Hello! I was one of the operators for Ffarquhar on the Sunday, were you the young man who came along towards the end of the day? We hope that you had fun! It was great to meet you!
@10LEIGH10 Do you mean the young man in the grey coat and if so then that was me. 😀
Great video Sam and a really great look at the exhibition
Absolutely fabulous Sam
Thanks Sam! great video!
Glad you and Chloe came Sam love meeting you there and talking to you both hope to see you both there next year
Hi Sam! It has been a long time since i last posted a comment. Thank you for showing all this, perfectly summarizing the contents in the exhibition. I would have frankly liked to be able to be there but it is almost impossible for us, argentinians, to travel abroad. Thank you again for your kind presentation. Cheers! Paul.
Man I do miss train shows. While seeing new fancy stuff from manufacturers is nice, I often can't justify the prices they put on them (but that's a rant for another day), I do love seeing the creativity of layouts that people put together just chock full of ideas and allows a bit of escapism for the lack of one's own creativity in their layout. Even though I haven't been to a proper show in a while, I still enjoy seeing others go to them and sharing, thanks.
Wow TT looks amazing!
Massively Brilliant...... thanks for sharing
Thank you so much John! :D
Interesting, natural development of the visits to old train yards. I can get behind the difference between samples photos and actually seeing that. That is one of the most important things about any hobby that includes physical aspect.
Hi Sam, Thanks for a cracking video, I was unable to get there this year as I had already visited the Classic Car show the weekend before. Take care, Jon B.
Good to meet you and Chloe (however briefly) and glad to see you had a great time at the show.
Nice one Sam, loved seeing all of that. Good to see Chloe there as well.
The Rapdio Hunslet loco is the 16" design. You mistakenly called it the Hunslet austerity, where as the Hunslet Austerity is the loco most people call the J94.
Feeling old now. The last time I saw the Ffarquhar branch it was being operated by Rev. Audrey himself.
Good video here Sam hope you had a good time at the show, nice to see a lot of samples of forthcoming products.
Thanks David - yeah the samples were super cool to see :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
So much to be excited for! Has me looking forward to the Accurascale Manors that much more, as well as the Bullied Leader, and that P@. Dand.
Well I definitely know where I’m going first on my UK trip next year 😁 Also, glad you got to meet Luke and learn about Wilbert Awdry and his railway
good vid on the channel sam of all the layout at the show nice vid thanks lee
Thanks very much Lee - glad you enjoyed it! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Great video Sam, wish I could have been there. I have see Rev Awdry`s layout many times at Tywyn Wharf station in Wales.
Looks fun. Thanks for posting
It's a pleasure, glad you enjoyed! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Thanks for making this Sam.
Hi Sam, Thank you for the trip, from us who can't get there, looks good , my regards to Chloe, All the best Brian 😃
Great coverage Sam, twas nice to see you there in person hope you had a good time.
You too Derron - yes we did thank you, I hope you did too! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
The accurascale class 92's and 37's look really good, can't wait to get mine!
Lovely video with you & Chloe in again. When I moved back to the Uk I’d heard about this event but I forgot about it during the pandemic. Still next year I’ll be there
Thanks very much Sam - it wasn't on during the pandemic sadly, this is the first time in a few years! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
FNTASTIC Sam! I don't know where you live, however, I would highly recommend our show in York! It takes place every Easter weekend at the Racecourse, taking up 3 floors or more!
So amazing railway show!
Thanks Justin - it was! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Warley was amazing, my favourite parts were the new Hornby locomotive samples, that Great Central Model Railway layout was amazing and other layouts and even seeing the new build BR Standard 3MT Tank engine and many more. Also it was great to meet you Sam.
It sure was Adam - and those really were highlights, thanks for sharing! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Very useful video. Thank you, Sam, for concentrating on the manufacturers. This complements perfectly the video by ‘Western Signalman’ which focuses entirely on the more interesting layouts with helpful background, builder/designer credits and explanations.
I met the Rev Awdry at an exhibition in Nottingham in the 70's. He had a layout with him but I cannot remember any details of it. I was showing my HD 3-rail and he did come over to have a chat with me. A lovely man very modest despite his fame.
Fantastic video Sam I wish I could have been there the last time I saw the Rev W Awdrys layout was at the Awdry extravaganza at the Talyllyn Railway back in July which was amazing keep up the good work ☺️👍
All the model at Warley look wonderful, I am going to buy the manor when it comes out Cheers Jasper & Willow
They certainly do! And good choice - they sure look great! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
The County Donegal was an Irish railway! Joking. Brilliant report I am going to make the trip over myself next year.
Thank you Sam.
Nice video Sam! Seemed like a right cool place!! Sorry for not dropping a comment for ages and ages.. Stay safe mate :)
I just saw you make a cameo in one of Hornby videos when they were at Warley and everyone in the comments was like look there’s Sam Trains.
Was lovely to meet you and Chloe!! Thanks for chatting :)
Your so lucky to get too see and use the original Thomas 👍🚂
I went there on Saturday and I loved it
Really nice to see Awdrys layout! Wish I could been there too. Seemd like a lot of fun! :D
I really enjoyed Warley too. Don’t know how I managed to miss you as not only was there both days, but we were both in the same hotel! Staying at Heathrow tonight heading back to US in am.
Great show as always. I was there Saturday and I walked straight past you as you came in. Wish I’d said hi and had a quick chat. There’s always next year I suppose. Great vid Sam as always and take care 👍
Ahh so sorry to have missed you - yes there's always next year! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I saw Awdrys model railway at the Talyllyn in the summer it’s such a sight to have seen it in action
Rambert seeing Rev Awdrey's layout, and meeting the man himself, at an Oxford MRC exhibition in the early 70s......back when it used to be held in Oxford Town Hall....... ........a long time ago now....
Hi Sam. My brother Mark and I (both great fans of your channel) and my wife were there on Sunday - shame we didn't get to meet you and Zoe. I was surprised at the amount of empty space on the floor and given over to seating (always very much appreciated) for visitors: it made me wonder (doubt?) whether this was bigger than the exhibition at Alexandra Palace, say. I think I saw Callum's layout, but not sure if I saw him. Just to namedrop: I spoke to Larry Puckett - the DCC Guy, saw Jenny Kirk (spoke to her at other exhibitions) and had a chat with Dave of Ellis Clarke (ex-Hattons). I also spoke (briefly) with Simon Kohler of Hornby.
Sam eating was the best part of the vid 😂
Nice to see the 'Wee Donegal' featured!
Awesome stuff!
Thank you! :D
Great Video Sam
looks like a great show 👍 couldn't go as not well ☹️ I'm really hoping that I will be able to get to intermodellbau in Dortmund next April. 👍
I can't wait to see the New BR 3mt up and steaming Cheers Jasper & Willow
Me too!! That'll be awesome :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Ah yes I went on Saturday, I think it really brings the hobby alive . S9 much so that I got home and ordered a sound fitted ews 92 , and 2 ews wagon packs form accurascale 🤣. Wish you good luck for the future and keep up the good work Sam
Thanks Dan - it certainly does! Many thanks for the kind words, Cheers, Sam :)
It was really lovely to meet you and Chloe there yesterday, thank you for allowing me to video you! I hope I'll be able to see you again soon!
And it was very lovely to see you too - hope you had a great time! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Great to see the ex CVR railcar in action!
Thank You. That was fun.
your video's ar the best on youtube!!
Bad timing for me to come here from France... So, thanks for your presentation ! Maybe when I will retire in some years, I would pay a visit. Anyway, I'm waiting for your news about the new models. I already have seen some interesting for me via my usual retailers, your pick will be welcome.
You do more for our hobby than you’ll ever know m8, cheers from Columbus, Ohio! Head to our expo some time, it’s awesome 😎
Thanks Sam
Cheers Peter!
Cheers Sam nice one
Great vid, plus whist I went to see the Rev. W. Awdry layout I got to help operate the engines. The engines I controlled were Thomas and Toby. 👍😁
Thanks so much! Ahh fantastic - that must have been such an experience! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
From Australia thank you Sam and Chloe. An exhibition I would love to see. Alan and Muriel 🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Heh I missed you on the Sunday as I was alternatively wandering around and operating our layout (Snowy River if you saw it) I found a few bargains myself.
On the TT scale stuff, I thought the yellow tanker said "careless petrol." Uh...yeah...why do you think the company went belly up? Overall, great showcase, Sam. Makes me want to find a similar event in California.
hahaha that'd be the day!! And sounds great, hope you can find one :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam. It looked like you and the Mrs were glad to get out of there at the end of the video. I hope you weren't too bored! It looked like it was nearly all OO gauge stuff with boring trains going around boring layouts. Good video though, and you are an entertaining star as always! Thanks for taking the trouble to go and upload this video.
Cows are great. Glad to see they on UK layouts, too. Greeting from America's Dairyland - Wisconsin. I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work. Cheese, milk, cheese, ice cream, cheese, milk ... !! I'll start drinking coffee when Wisconsin farmers start growing coffee beans, until then it's milk for me.
Awesome video today Sam hope you had a great time
Thanks so much James! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Glad you were able to go and enjoy yourself. Maybe you even bought a couple of models that’ll be reviewed for the channel. And when I eventually build my layout, I’ll be sure to include cows somewhere lol.
Thanks a lot David - maybe indeed! And good idea... you'll have at least one big fan if you do! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I missed you! :(
Ahh damn - there's always next time! So so busy wasn't it?? Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Cheers Sam nice one 🚞🙂✌️
Confidence boost? Really? Gawd bless ya guvnor, you don't need one of those, you're fine as you are and your relentless cheery productions are a credit to you. Thank you Sam, thank you.
Wow amazing looking things. Looked a lot more empty than when myself and oli met you in 2019. Still your looking well mate keep up the great video's
That was an excellent video Sam. Can't believe I missed the Rapido stand. Spotted you two or three times on Saturday. Oddly though, because the day before or so you coupled with your girlfriend, it was her I noticed first. Kind of, I've seen that face before but couldn't place it. You being much taller and with those big glasses didn't compute at first. I didn't converse because I was on a mission as were you probably. I did however have a long chat with Steve of the Worthington model railway KZhead channel over from the USA
Thanks Sam for such great coverage- hear that numbers were well down due to high entry cost ????
Ahh interesting - yes it was pretty expensive to get in, even more so per day without a weekend ticket! That's not to mention the extortionate car parking at the NEC Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Awesome video Sam's trains
Thanks a lot Brian! :D
