1920s GWR STEAM ON NEVILLE GROVE!
An action packed step back in time to the golden age of the Great Western Railway running on the high and low-level lines of the Neville Grove layout.
This video brings the 1920s back to life with a selection of iconic GWR locomotives and rolling stock and a quirky Steam Unit that is a blend of both...
Each item has been freshly outshopped with custom weathering from the Neville Grove Weathering Studio. To capture the epic presence of the real machines, the OO gauge models have been synchronized with carefully selected and authentic steam audio. Turn up the volume to maximum and expect plenty of chimney music, tick-tick-ticking and whistles!
Featured in this video:
Kernow GWR Steam Railmotor: The ultimate branchline classic chuntering through the scenery under its own power.
Hornby GWR Saint Class: Powering along the mainline, beautifully polished and weathered to emulate the classic, but hard working, look of a Great Western 4-6-0 between the wars;
Dapol 517 Class no.1158: A charming 0-4-2T tank engine with open cab handling local duties with realistic everyday grime and an oily rag polish;
Dapol 517 Class no.523: The same class of 0-4-2T tank engine but modified with an enclosed cab. Hauling local duties and with a similar oily rag polish:
GWR Rapido Evolution Coaches: Strikingly detailed passenger stock with a clerestory roof all finished in the iconic chocolate and cream livery, subtly weathered and polished for an authentic service appearance. Check out the opened windows and passengers inside.
Sound Recording Credits:
Hhistoric audio featured was originally recorded by Peter Handford in the 1950s–60s, digitally remastered and used with kind permission from Old Thundridge Records.
Additional heritage railway sound effects are more recent, high-quality real-world recordings generously provided by Sharpthorne Steam.
A special thank you must also go out to my customer who sent me both 517's and the Evolution Coaches for weathering. They are currently on their way back to South Africa to be repatriated with their owner. They will be missed on the NG layout but thank you very much for letting me run them for this video.
