I guess we all want to be Teddy Boston on some level. Interesting to see some large-scale models, including a very skeletal 16mm circuit with an early Roundhouse and a Mamod showing the difference in control between the two models!

The G around 1’35 is being run by a couple of GSS 3CAG members. Looks like they are using mts.

Another man of the cloth who was a railway fan - but no closet fan, he loved steam and railways.

There was a TV programme about him - his wife told how she made him get some black shoes for the wedding, otherwise he'd have turned up in sandals or slippers

Much loved by his parishioners as well

Trundled up and down that short demo track a few times during the 2 trios I made to Cadeby. Wonderful place and a supremely eccentric likable character was Teddy. Uploaded in 2009 so the MTS likely was Serial and early Radio by the looks of it.

What's MTS?

MTS is the 'red' LGB early DCC system..

Originally commands were sent serially, so to send the command for function 3 (say) the system sent the '1' command three times..

According to a reliable source another enthusiast considered hitching an organ behind his Burrell showman's engine, and turning up outside the church to play entry of the the gladiators!
