Remember Bob Symes ?

[peter taft]

Hi Guys and gals. I recently found a Video Cassette of Bob Symes World of model building and transferred it for up-load to good old You Tube. I watched this sooooo many times, i thought you might like to see it to. The quality isn't too bad to say it's old VHS format. Any way i hope you enjoy - it's in 4 parts.

Bob Symes used to work for the BBC - he had something to do with special effects. He also contributed to the old Model Railway News and Model Railways magazines on a variety of subjects, including the building of a working model diesel hydraulic locomotive. That was obviously a very large scale model. I haven't heard anything of him for a while, but know he compered several TV modelling seriers.
