Introducing a new series of DVDs that look in depth at particular model railway layouts.

"The Right Track to Over Peover":

In this, the fourth of our “Right Track to... series, Tony Wright visits Over Peover.

This is John Ryan’s private and extensive ”O” gauge layout depicting a section of the LNER / BR main line based upon prototype practice. After a short conversation with John, there’s a fantastic range of locomotives and rolling stock in full action - all operating perfectly, often at high speeds! John Ryan is a born and bred Doncastrian. So much so that he’s the current chairman of Doncaster Rovers football club.

Two periods are depicted on Over Peover. The first is the late ’30s - heyday of the LNER. Gresley A4s are much in evidence with their rich variety of liveries - two-tone grey, garter blue with red wheels and of course, glorious apple green. All are hauling appropriate stock in grey, two-tone blue and teak.

The second depicts John‘s train-spotting days at “Donny” from the 1950s with another rich variety of colours. This time it’s blue, Brunswick green, carmine/cream and maroon. But it’s not just A4s. Many other classes are well represented too.

The layout is huge and contained in a large purpose-built shed at John’s home. Even the shed cannot contain the layout which is a folded 8 configuration with running outside on raised timbers.

With railwaymen in his family, a passion for railways and a hometown renowned for its railways, John (with the help of Norman Solomon) has created a “dream come true”.

This DVD is a rare opportunity to share that dream.

Running time 35 minutes

Yesterday Saturday the 13th Nov I received a copy of your DVD Locomotive Kit Building Part 1, as a novice just starting in Model Railway kit building
(after scratch building Military Models for along while and being a design engineer by profession) I was egger to get my copy and I must say I wasn't disappointed in the product I received It if a first class product, informative and to the point.

Well done to all those involved. After watching it a couple of times I could understand exactly the tools I needed to construct a working Locomotive from a Kit.
