- In this video I go all out on the biggest single section on the entire layout.
I take on closing in open frames, building the scenery layer by layer.
Also featured is a iron lattice girder bridge fully scratch built.
The biggest feature has to be the river, made from 4 kilos of epoxy resin and poured in one hit.
I'd like to say a massive thank you to @BoulderCreekRailroad for sharing his stunning models and how it's done.
Also Paul Chapman @GalgormHall who's scratch building advice is top notch.

Now that's a scratch-built bridge. Brilliant!!
Tim, you are right Luke and Paul are great inspirational modellers. BUT you also inspire many, many people with your skills and knowledge. And the end result is the fantastic layout that you are creating before our eyes. Thank you for everything you do.
Thank you for the kind words.
Dude, seriously outstanding model making, an absolute belter. You ARE Luke Towan. I know its way out of my league, but I grow ever hopeful. Thanks for the upload, and not doing it in 4 parts, the amount of prep you'd have done beforehand is what makes it flow, nicely presented too. I'm a big fan of Peaks 47, he's blown away by it too. That's huge praise indeed.
Thank you very much. Yep I wanted to cover the river in one full swoop and not drag it out.
This scene was a struggle as I get overwhelmed with anything bigger than a large diorama board to work on.
Praise from so many during the build is certainly something that kept me going and pushed me beyond my own expectations.
Wow! Absolutely stunning piece of modelling. Looks so realistic. Bravo!!!! 👍👍👏👏👏
Stunning.
The level of detail on that bridge.
Doing all that work then pouring the resin must've been heart stopping!
Very much. A very tight time frame to get it all in and done in one hit.
Looks fantastic! Great video to watch. Clint
You did a fantastic job Tim... I love it! I'm impressed you had the courage to pour that much resin and it certainly turned out looking great! I can't wait to see how the layout progresses, it's going to look amazing! Keep up the hard work 😉
Thanks for the praise, your methods on river builds are simply stunning and certainly an inspiration, the results speak volumes as I've found out! To take 4 kilos of resin and pour it in one single hit was probably jumping in the deep end first, I've never used epoxy let alone made a river.
It took some working out to see if I could mix and pour it in one go using the measuring cups and it paid off.
The photo / video opportunities on this area are endless.
Hopefully you'll stay tuned as I slowly move back towards producing diorama's of an abandoned theme once this layout reaches its peak.
I've learnt alot!
Congratulations on hitting 1 million subscribers. Incredible!
I found that whole video mesmerising, and what a stunning end result! Well done.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Great scene enjoyed watch the build up. I give you a 👍. Cheers
Absolutely stunning!!!.. I am pretty sure Mr Towan would be very proud he inspired you and the result is the best I have seen on here for a river on our 00 layouts. 👏👏👏
Thanks Chris. He was indeed very proud to see a great result using some of his methods. He left a comment which is great to see.
@@thescrapline4905 fantastic mate, really chuffed for you.. when I get chance to build my test layout ahead of my more permanent one when my new garage is up, I'm using some of his and your methods. Was going to consider a channel but yours is far too good. Well done dude
Inspirational and scary all in one go. Fantastic modelling!!
You're not wrong. One hit to get it right, that was always at the back of my mind.
Brilliant scenics, awesome.
excellent video Tim the river and bridge look so realistic something to be proud of Andy
Thanks Andy.
Absolutely first class 👍🏻 Looks so real well done 😄
Thank you.
Brilliant, if you didn't know beforehand you could believe it was the real thing, the fine details really make it pop.
Thanks. I'm pleased with the whole scene. Going to make for some great running shots.
That was remarkable Tim, was totally mesmerised by this project. The finish was superb, enjoyed every minute of it.
Regards Chris
Thanks Chris. I've stuck to the same format of showing each process start to finish as it seemed to do well on the north end. I'll be at a loss when I run out of scenes to start and finish in one single video lol.
Wow Tim, you have blown my mind with this one.
The bridge alone is worth a thumbs up, but the whole thing is incredible, those trees look so realistic, I cannot wait to see how you made them.
My hat goes off to you for such a massive undertaking and not just pulling it off, doing with such talent and style.
Well done Tim.
All the best
Alex
Thanks Alex. The bridge was very tedious but being a focal point had to be on the money. The whole scene is just beyond what I thought I could do.
@@thescrapline4905 it's stellar Tim so be proud.
WoW Awesome job 👍
Nice to see how it was done,
Looks fantastic Tim and really well explained! Joe
Thanks Joe.
Brilliant work mate. It looks absolutely stunning. The colours and textures are spot on and the river looks amazing. The bridge is a work of art too. You're really helping to set the bar for me on my layout - hopefully I can achieve the results you have. If so I'll be an incredibly happy man.
Thanks Richard. It's now the best focal point of the layout. Still more trees to add but it's on track.
Great modelling , and informative instructional video 👌👍
Thanks. Glad the format worked.
Awesome Tim!!! You are a Luke Towan look-alike! Thanks for sharing this video. Cheers Onno.
Thanks Onno. I paid him really 😆
Great shout-outs for Boulder Creek Railroad and Galgorm Hall. Both superb modellers!
Absolutely!
Fantastic video! That bridge is a triumph 💪 could have been really difficult getting the scale right I think you nailed it
Absolutely amazing
Not much to say other than excellent piece of work... Looks great 👍
Cheers.
Superb video Tim. This scene is incredible.
You must be so pleased with the outcome.
I will certainly be coming back to this video when I do my video river scene.
Thanks Jamie. I'll certainly look forward to seeing yours come to life.
Absolutely superb, congratulations
Thank you.
This has to be the best scene on a model railroad that I’ve ever seen. It’s like a highly detailed LT diorama that trains actually run through! Congratulations. A lot to sit back, admire and be proud of there sir.
Thanks. Certainly suprised myself with the end result.
A master class there.
Thank you.
Fabulous work
Thanks
this is so impressive, i go over the river exe on my way to wales, looks better than real life! cheers, adam
Cheers Adam. It's certainly a station with many interesting focal points. Great to model it.
Absolutely brilliant mate, a very informative video, which one day I’m sure I’ll refer. Top modelling mate, your skills are excellent. Cheers Jon
Thanks Jon. I suprised myself too.
Best video I’ve seen in a long time 👍
Brilliant!
Wow that the Mona Lisa of river modeling the details, and pouring that much resin as well, that just art
Thank you very much for the kind words. It's been a great scene to build.
Fantastic
A tour de force in model making Tim, beautifully shot and informatively narrated, this is a scene to be proud of. Thank you so much for your kind words at the beginning of the video, it means so much. Paul
Thanks Paul. Your skills and knowledge in scratch building is valuable even if buying 9 packs of U channel has ment the family have gone hungry, so be it 😆
looking good keep up the good work
Thanks.
I wonder if Mr Towan has seen this. They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It's *so* obvious that his work has inspired you and your scene is every bit as good as his.👌
The overall effect is fantastic; the surface of the river is probably the best I've seen. It really looks like wet, moving water, rather than a lump of resin. I've seen this method turn out looking very fake but you've absolutely nailed it.👍
I was surprised how little actual green you used in the scene but it looks perfect. I think "too much green" and "too green" are very common mistakes, which can look very "train set". By using different structures/buildings, this scene could easily be changed to suit various locations. I'm sure Mr Towan would approve.😁
Cheers for now,
Dougie.
Thanks Dougie. It would be great for the king of resin rivers to stamp it or even condemn it lol.
You're right with the greenery, I held back. I studied alot of pictures of the railway embankment in that location and how it's done is how it was (More trees to add yet)
Trees will block out grass growth and I did alot of woodland walks in the build up of this video to get an idea of what to expect.
Unfortunately to many get carried away with grass. Less Is more, certainly where trees grow for sure.
I am just blown away with your amazing work of art Tim can't wait for more.
cheers Nic
Thanks Nic. More to add yet and itching to move onto the next build area.
Well that’s one of the best modelling videos I’ve ever seen .
Thanks Sam. It's been a great scene to work on.
Yours are also phenomenal too mate @peaks47
Chris Jones cheers 👍🏻
Unreal mate! This scene came up absolutely stunning! Great video. Cheers Sean
Hi ya mate
Can i say an absolutely brilliant and amazing video had me glued all the way through I hope you do a video on how you make the trees i would love to try for myself as they look fantastic.
Again well done mate on a brill video.
Peter from Birmingham
Thanks. Should have a tree video out soon.
awesome job - Luke has officially got competition !
This video came up in my feed at the perfect time. I'm in the process of working on my creek area and definitely will utilize some of these techniques. Awesome work!
What a gorgeous scenery, stunning job!!
Hats off to you Sir! That river came out a treat. I panicked when I had to pour 400ml of resin. 😁
Cheers. I was sick of mixing after doing 4 rounds of 4 mixes lol. Keeps you on your toes that's for sure
Wow, this just gets better and better, excellent modelling...
Absolutely fantastic ,you must really proud of what you have created.
Thanks. Yep beyond what I thought I could do.
Great bit of landscaping, looks great.
Thank you
Blimey Tim, That looks bloody amazing! You sure are a master of scenics! I look forward to your tree tutorials, I'm gonna need loads of the damn things lol.
Thanks. Coming very soon the tree video.
Wow that is stunning Tim. Certainly gives Luke Towan a tun for his money !
Thanks for the kind words.
That’s is excellent, very well done mate.
Fantastic mate, you are the scenic guru and I can’t wait to see how you made your trees 👍
Thanks. Tree video to follow very soon.
Beautiful result and great tutorial on how you got it!
Thank you.
I am genuinely blown away, amazing stuff!!
Thanks. It's come together very well.
Your teaser made me very excited for this particular scene - and wonderful it is indeed! Joachim
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Inspiring - I’m going to try something similar in n gauge-- thank you Sir!
Excellent modelling there. Used to spot at St.Davids when i use a kid. Regards. Jeff
Thanks Jeff. If only we could go back to those good old days again.
Amazing, it reminds me of the fairy fast flowing river Severn... especially like the island with the river running either side. Not something I've seen modeled very often. That bridge is a work of art, looks absolutely the dogs doodlies. I remember it well on my trips down in the 80s..
Thanks Mark. It certainly took some going. More to add to it yet.
Museum quality work! Love that scene. Luke Towan eat your heart out!
“Museum quality” I like that 👍🏻👍🏻
Super comment. Thanks.
It’s been fantastic watching this come together over the weeks Tim, great to now see the whole process of how that occurred 👍👍
Thanks Bob. I'm blown away how well it turned out.
Nice one Tim. The colours of the river look fantastic and the banks look very realistic, I'm sure I saw someone walking the dog on one of the banks! Lol. The rail bridge adds the finishing touch, very convincing. Is this where Paul helped? His scratchbuild methods are certainly worth following as are Luke's. Hope everyone is well with you, regards Bobby 'T'.
Thanks Bobby. Yep Paul's tips on getting the scales right on the lattice were vital. Though cutting 9 packs of that U channel into L shape strips was a killer on both my head and my wallet lol.
Worth it though.
Wow tim that's some great modelling there. Really like what you did with the river and making the ripple effect and the use of trees make it look realistic. Look forward to seeing the tree video you mentioned about
Stay safe
James
Thanks James. Still got another batch of trees to add to the scene so that video should be out pretty soon too.
@@thescrapline4905 What an amazing scene! A 2021 project for me is the start of a 0 gauge GWR branch line layout....the scenery you have created so brilliantly is just the look I was seeking :-) Looking forward to your tree making instructional video....they look just perfect. Thank you for an inspirational piece of modelling!
Stunning work , love it , super video Tim
Cheers. Will make for some great running shots.
The Scrap Line yes 200%
Absolutely amazing top job will be trying the leaves and twigs on my next project
Thanks. The great outdoors does produce some great modelling materials.
Very talented indeed, I can only imagine ever creating scenes as wonderful, yeah I said imagine. Very very good stuff, especially how you did the water, 4.5kg of resin wow. Looking forward to the next one, thanks and best regards Dave.
Thanks. Yep very nerving pouring that amount in one single hit, did it with 10 minutes to spare.
Amazing...nailed that Tim, fantastic scene, so realistic and as with all you’re work, really compliments the layout. Well done and keep it up...watching with interest and following with you, cheers, Chris
Thanks Chris.
Fantastic video.
HC Treintje Belgium Herman C.
Thank you.
@@thescrapline4905 😎
Well that was excellent, really enjoyed that. I’ve watched most of Luke’s videos and I must say you’ve done a great job from learning from him. I’m modelling the same kind of area and although my layout really is pure fantasy it’s called Exehaven Harbour as it’s meant to be at the mouth of the River Exe. I have watched your videos on and off for sometime, I have just subscribed although I don’t why I didn’t long ago. Cheers John
Thanks Jon. Your layout sounds great.
That's a great tutorial on how to do scenery. Can you do mine. 🤓😎
Cheers. Hopefully this video will help.
Are you local to Exeter? Wonderful work!
Hi Tim, great work. Which manufacturer did you use for the resin, and who sells it.
Many thanks.
Thanks. The resin was made by a company called chem-distro. Search them online or they also sell on ebay.
Wow Tim, just wow. That bridge alone is a masterpiece but with the river... Can I ask you where you get a wax based masking tape from? I usually use brass sheet to make plasticard templates on but this tape would be very handy and not come across it before. Cheers Steve
Thanks Steve.
I got the tapes sent to me to trial by a company as I'm a decorator by trade. Can't remember the name of them now. Though leaving them a review could be fun 😆
A regular tape I use which is similar to this is Tesa tapes. They too have a wax or sheen surface unlike the basic tapes.
Hope that helps.
Thanks Tim, that would explain why I could not find any on a Google search! I have found the Tesa tape at Amazon now though so will give it a try, cheers Steve
No problem. Avoid the pink one as it's really low tack.
Totally Towan-esque - it doesn't get much better than that!
I've been wondering for a while why your channel is called "The Scrap Line" (it's hardly appropriate). Is SCRAP an acronym for something (South Coast Railway - - - -), or is it just tongue in cheek?
With best wishes,
Nick
Back in the beginning, Tim specialised in weathering things into scrap condition!
Thanks Nick for the great comments.
It is indeed my passion for scrap abandoned modelling why the channel is called 'The scrap line' the period I model reflects the rundown period before privatisation. Seeing many locos on scraplines was something I wanted to model so the channel was named on that basis.
A near future addition to the channel will be tutorials of dioramas featuring anything abandoned, scrap etc.
