EP 4 : CLEARING out the ATTIC in 12 hours!

Video Description

Welcome to Part 2 of 12 Hours in the Attic – and Episode 4 of Cleaning Out the World’s Biggest Attic Model Railway! We’re back in the dust, beams, and boxes for the final 6 hours of our mission to clear out this incredible space—and things get seriously interesting. Alan and I are making major progress, but it wouldn’t be a Life at the Manor attic day without a few surprises... This time, we discover live pistol ammunition, a vintage Meccano plane kit, and even stop for a fascinating chat with my dad, who reveals that the massive attic beams are older than the house itself. That’s right—medieval timber hidden above a 16th-century manor house. And of course, all around us lies what remains of my grandfather’s extraordinary model railway layout—one of the largest private collections in the UK, slowly being uncovered and revived. Subscribe for more behind-the-scenes restoration, estate discoveries, and heritage storytelling as we get one step closer to clearing—and restoring—the attic. #ModelRailway #AtticDiscovery #LifeAtTheManor #HistoricHomes #EstateRestoration #ModelTrainsUK #VintageModelRailway #AtticCleanOut #ChavenageHouse #BritishHeritage #MeccanoFind #LiveAmmunitionDiscovery #HiddenHistory Music Licencsed : MB01BASUSLURFSR Filmed and edited by : Sebastian Pinkham & Simon Chmiewliski Thanks for watching Life at the Manor!
