Fabulous layout, superb video and interviews great stuff '
Pretty cool… that's a whole lot of big…
All those 3D printed vehicles…👍
Well done everyone involved…
Thanks for filming and presenting…🙂🙏🇳🇿
For the tilt could have done Wolverton north end !!
Amazing layout, very nicely filmed and great interview with Pete Waterman.
Amazing well the whole project always was. I can't wait to see you invited along that would be crazy brilliant for Making Tracks 4. Great tour and great interview with the chief sandwich maker.
when you have that type of money, you can build what you want, and where will it be exhibited? Warley? I'd sooner pay to see a Z gauge at a little village exhibiton. Love your channel though
Great layout….. how's the backyard railway going??
Richard, thanks for the guided tour of this excellent layout. We were there on the day you were recording this and can be seen at the end of the layout as you finish talking to Phil. I had a good chat with Pete about modelling and railways in general. Great channel, I'm using your layout for inspiration and techniques for my model railway.
And here am I wondering if I can squeeze in another 1.5 m board in the garage. Inspirational layout, especially as I used to live in MK.
Great vid feature , thanks for making it
A good video showcasing the layout here Richard, while I would love to see it in person I think it is very likely that won’t happen unfortunately, most times the layout is set up in places far away from where I live and from what I have seen it only attends the bigger shows which I don’t get to that much because again they are in places quite a distance from where I live, an overall good layout but just a shame that the only way I’m likely to experience it is through videos like this.
Who drives the Delorean? 5:04 they need to park it better. 😂
Brilliant Richard, a great insight, just one question,. What was the ham sandwich like?
Great video and a fantastic layout … know the three big office blocks at the real station very well! My only gripe is that you have a Routemaster as the only bus … you could have picked up a Corgi OOC model of an Optare Solo Bus. Code/Ref: OM44106. Scale: 1:76. Livery: MK Metro Ltd. Route: 14 Stony Stratford
That would have been far more appropriate!
good vid on channel of a cool layout run by goot bunch of team rthanks for cool thanks lee
Thank you for sharing Richard, it’s a fantastic layout, but why no people on that layout!!!!! Very strange
Pete’s Sandiness! Mr Waterman’s retirement hobby!😊
awesome thx for the share.😊😊👍👍
Wow what a great size layout and share New Junction. Now there’s some time put into that layout. Thanks for sharing have a great modelling day 😎🚂🫵 TSM
A nice Richard. I thought you might have mentioned the biscuits in your previous video.
I'm hoping to attend the NEC exhibition in April as I've missed out so far and would love to drive a class 50 given. I have 9 on order. I liked the last piece of music on this video
Thanks Richard, great video.
Great job.
as always mate fantastic work love it
Richard great video i know you get a great deal out of the hobby I am just getting into filming my own layout could you point me to a video camera small so I can film going around my OO guage railway layout
Wow! Did you just throw down a challenge to Metcalfe? 😂😂😂
Just a awesome layout
Great layout, but….
What’s the point of the station?, nothing stops there and there are no passengers to be seen.
No matter how many times I watch a video of these layouts I always spot something new ! Fantastic tour around . Can’t wait to see it in April in its latest form.
Excellent video and all free, unlike the multi-part version being promoted by a well-known model railway publisher.
I went to Chester to see it and sadly my eyesight isn't good enough to appreciate it in person. It's great that you've done a decent video on it to show it off. Was fun seeing the kids running trains and chasing them around the layout. First impression in Chester wasn't the size, largely because I heard Pete before i could see it! "There's nothing running out the front!" a line that every exhibition manager should take note of, this is entertainment and moving trains do just that.
has phil got web site or email to contrack i wnat some one to laser cut the modle of hereford station
… I can't take those nicknamed "freedom units". Would be nice if the length was also mentioned in meters (e.g. as a Text note on the screen) alongside the size given in UK feet.
Thanks for sharing buddy.
This enterprise must equal, perhaps rival "Leamington Spa" in many ways now – heck of an achievement, just goes to show what a skilled and dedicated team can achieve.
Thanks for shooting this video first, second THANK Pete and all his volunteers/workers for putting this on again !!!!!! I really wish we ( in Canada ) would do something like this show, but since Covid I feel the many shows have dried up….
If he’s doing a full circle he should model Wembley to have an operational fiddle yard
A great video showing the Making Tracks layout, giving a general insight into its operation..
It’s a layout for the general public, as well as railway enthusiasts of all ages.
I was a volunteer and looked after the public operators of all ages, some as young as 2 and the oldest gentleman was 91, they all thoroughly enthralled and enjoyed the experience.
Liked your reference of the size your layout to the size of making tracks, showed how big this great layout is ..
Good to meet you, and look forward to operating with you again .

amazing upload 👍🍀💯
great vid
Pete said it, your hired! Congratulations can’t wait to see the next instalment and more stations!
Thx Richard for another vid, great to get out the garage!! Ive been watching a long time all the "making of" Making Tracks and have definitely penciled in the April show. Hopefully you get to take up Petes offer to do something on MT4
Now you've had your fun, its time to get back into your garage and share another update of NJ
Thx again
Not enough British electrification modelling out there.
Great vid, i am not a train buff, nor modeller, Grandad was back 50 years ago, but i do appreciate the hard graft and work, dedication, and passion these people put into such an exhibition, to me, Pete Waterman, has always been a well grounded and in touch with reality person, so a good ambassador for this cause
Great video Richard – love that you got a shot of the Snowman in the Hi Viz jacket ! 🙂
Richard, thanks so much for sharing this monumental work with us. It was a joy to behold, including your interviews. Good job, lado.
Very disappointed i couldn't make it to Northwich. We have a very poorly dog to look after and couldn't fit it in.
Looking forward to April. Will definately get there!!!
This was a belter of a video! My dad and I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks very much for making this and all the hard work you do
I'm looking forward to seeing what they do next.
Fantastic video, Richard! I had a fantastic time being your cameraman on parts, plus being at the end with you! I should be so lucky, HAHA 😂👍🏼
Great video Richard 😊 amazing work from each and everyone of you 👏 😊
