“Dear Al,

Its been a while since my last post although I have been enjoying reading all the posts from your other contributors. I have had a go at recording another video and this time borrowed a better camera. Following is a link to “Buster and the Black Lamb”. You know what they say about sequels….

Hope you like it.

Cheers

Cameron”

    Cameron – a great video of a great layout – but you better keep an eye on those two dogs, they might be trouble makers.

    What a marvelous way to present your layout and its rolling stock. Great video.

  8. john creasey says:

    Wonderful Cameron, Kadees, Fisherman, recognised someone on Reigate station, a night scene. What more can one ask for? I want to see it live!

  16. timothy says:

    love the video from Cameron awesome layout

  17. Lee Barry/ CEO L"Z"PMRR says:

    Excellent video and layout. I too want to know the cars and trucks run. There is a man on this side of the big pond that lives in Oregon that has a Z scale module that has vehicles running on a roadway under the layout is a wire with a magnet attached that moves and the cars have magnets on the bottom of them. Keep up the good work.

    PURE INSPIRATION!!!

  19. Arnie Steiner says:

    Hey Cameron – beautifully colorful and detailed layout with excellent use of a small space. Superb job of videoing, animation work, (silent) story line and musical integration. Keep the great work coming from ‘down under’.

  20. Ken G says:

    Simply stunning!

  21. Bud Tullis says:

    Thanks Cameron, that was brilliant, with great attention to detail and Cinematography. You should have taken a “bow” at the end, very well done.

  22. Rod Lewis says:

    Excellent layout and video production; very professional. Ditto question about automobile movement. Your town needs a dog catcher for all the stray dogs on the loose.

  23. Don Wick says:

    Excellent detail, animation and rail action. A great model railroad from down under.

    Extremely well done video with great music too. The vehicle movement was a great touch. And all this on only 8×4′ – Very Impressive.

  25. Don says:

    Outstanding. One of the best I’ve seen to date! Have you thought of a career in hollywood?

  26. James Quirk says:

    A real eye picnic.

  30. Barry Read says:

    A pleasure to watch. Loved the story, loved the detail. That rusting engine was a master stroke. Good music, good presentation. Its a yes from me. Cameron, you have 26 yes’s…….. at the moment.

  31. Cord says:

    Cameron – I loved it! Beautiful layout; great video.

  32. Richard Standing says:

    As someone who gets on and off trains at Reigate occasionally, I saw the model and thought “I’ve been there!” Well done!

  33. Tom Oliver says:

    Absolutely fantastic! Music suits and layout is great! Loved the moving vehicles too. Thanks for sharing.

  34. william says:

    Hi Cameron,
    In big Australia, well done fabulous video and amazing layout terrific scenes and loved the black lamb and the dog taking it back from its adventures. Lovely locomotives and sounds were good to. Wel done.

    All the best

  35. Jimmy says:

    Very nice layout Cameron and some nice camera work.

  36. Toni Olivar says:

    Cameron, that film was beautiful. It was as if I was back in Australia, watching and waving back to the train as they passed by. Let Buster know that he is a good dog and that I miss his adventures and his country.

  37. Jim in NC says:

    Marvelous! Hard to imagine all this on a 4X8 layout.

  38. Chuck Bartunek says:

    Outstanding,both the layout and the Vedio production.

  39. mac says:

    I can hardly believe you got this into such a small space! Brilliant work.

    However I can see it hasn’t had a recent visit frrom the ‘dog warden’ who rounds up stray and unleashed dogs! 😀

    Again, a brilliant set-up!

  40. Pete Wotring says:

    Outstanding-those moving vehicles got my attention and the sound and scenery was top shelf!!

    BTW-since your layout is finished,could you come by and assist me??

    Outstanding!!

  41. kenn says:

    I applaud Buster and another episode. I love it. Hope to be able to add my own adventures someday.

  42. Ray Appenzeller says:

    I loved it and I like how Buster started out his day going from one location to another eventually coming back home at the end of a busy doggie day! The layout was great, fun and impressive, thoroughly enjoyed the musical touch to the entire performance layout! Great job! Thank you for sharing!

  43. Rog says:

    Great creativity.. Watched it with my Wife.. Both of us enjoyed.. Great Job – Rog

  44. John M says:

    Great video! The producers of Thomas the tank engine will be worried! Now for the Thunderbirds!

  45. Roland Burch says:

    Great video and layout, Cameron.
    May I suggest using fishing line, harder to see.

  46. Randolph scott says:

    Very impressive Cam, I am only one third away from my layout, but you have given me a few ideas.

    Thanks
    rand

  47. Rod Mackay says:

    Outstanding! What a little gem.

    By the way, you don’t just have to have Southern wagons, most wagons ran in pools after the war and a typical Southern goods would have a majority of LNE, LMS and GW vehicles bringing in coal, stone, manufactured goods, and of course beer from Burton.

  48. THOMAS says:

    YOUVE DONE A FANTASTIC LAYOUT.

  49. Ian Mc Donald says:

    just a great video and cthe layout is grat to look out the story line is simple but clever thankyou send more.

  50. Barry Pearlman says:

    I am just about to get started and this latest video is a real inspiration. I read the forum every day, looking particularly to see what “things” are available and what I am capable of doing with my own talents.

    I do, however, join the chorus of those before me and ask that contributors indicate the scale. I haven’t been at this long enough to be able to recognize it from the videos or stills.

    Thanks,

    Barry

  51. Roland Burch says:

    Cameron, I forward to seeing your films and your layout.

    Thank you,

    I think that layout is brilliant. Lots of detail which is what I like to do too. Thanks Cameron!

  56. steven stclair says:

    That is the most stunning layout on 8 x 4 I have ever seen. I saw a video before of it but did not comment. The line going round the train shed and sidings are just brilliant.

  57. Rafael Valdivia says:

    Dear Cameron and Alastair
    Thank You very much on giving us the opportunity to appreciate such stunning spectable. It leaves an impression that there is no more to see about. But, we hope that Cameron will be able to show more and more.
    Thank again

  58. Richard Sappelli says:

    Buster and the back shop is truly a superb video production. The back ground scenery is very well done and looks REAL!!!!! A wonderful production and a wonderfully constructed railroad some where in Australia from a viewer some where in Pennsylvania, USA.

    Well done old chap!!!

  59. Desert Rat PHX AZ says:

    After seeing this I think i`ll quit! Makes everything I do look so generic I can`t believe what I see. What a job, I`ll look for you movies on the big screen. Desert Rat.

  60. john andrew says:

    Cameron,great ,loved it all somewhere in Australia John A

  61. Jim Evenson says:

    Oh my! That was fantastic. I have not been back into Model Railroading since I was a small boy about 7 or 8. Since I am now 70 years beyond that I can see the great strides that people have taken in their layout design.
    Your layout is beyond great I was so impressed.
    Thank you for sharing it with me.
    Jim

  62. Terry Carrington says:

    The best video I have seen, the layout and scenery are fantastic, and the story depicting a day in the life of the dog’s is brilliant. Walt Disney must be a relation of your’s, well done.

  63. John Deis says:

    This is model railroading at it’s highest level. Neautiful job.
