50 Ways to Leave Your Lover - Via Birmingham New Street HD

It's almost time to break up this layout, it has achieved all it can in this difficult environment. New improved layout's are to come but before that happens some final train testing is required and this gives me time to chase more real trains of 1982! In this video you will see clips of the 08:58 Manchester Piccadilly to Poole service which was copied step by step on the layout as true to reality as possible. This means the model trains combined cover a real scaled distance of 260 miles, this equates to 323 laps of this layout. Here is a full breakdown of the journey.
