New Layout Build - Farm bridge and surrounding scenery

- As usual it's taken quite a bit longer than expected to reach this point. In this video I get to work on a section of scenery that I've been wanting to do for a while. The plan is to create a scenic break that will obscure the entrance to the fiddle yard. Up until recently this far end section of the layout has been very lacking in scenery. I'm quite pleased with the progress so far and will continue to add additional details to this section in a future video.
Music used in the intro - Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio - Hackers
You Sir, are a true artist. Totally absorbing to see how you create an alternate reality. That 47 minutes flew by. Thank you as always.
I also was but of a different kind.
Wow, you always do such a thorough job in observing how things look in the real world. The mud tracks across the bridge look especially good! 👍
Cant get enough of these videos mate, amkes me want to get my layour back out and start buidling again!!
Superb Richard!
As always!
Thank-you!
Excellent work and the graffiti really adds that final touch 👍👍👍
Awesome Richard!!! Just awesome!! Thanks for sharing. Cheers Onno.
46:50 you should make a small grass bank for the fiddle yard section as it’ll be better then seeing undecorated parts through the bridge. Will make it look better for videos and photos
I was born in London in 1970 so I lived through the period you capture in your layout. I LOVE the fact you are recreating things as they actually were, not as someone would want them to be. Seriously, your layout gives me flashbacks it’s so accurate.
Glad you enjoy the layout. I like to portray stuff as it was, I don't much care for the 'perfect world' that so many seek to create. Much more to model railways than village cottages and rolling countryside. Cheers
The photographer is a spot on idea!
Seeing just how small are the washing machines, really made me appreciate your attention to detail on everything. I hope I am still alive when you finally finish the build. 😉
Watching the wash flow into the gaps of the brick was one of the most satisfying things I’ve ever seen! Thanks for the video, love seeing all the work you’ve been putting in!
It is really awesome to watch your videos. An awe inspiring experience.
Excellent additions, well done!
Great work Richard I am learning so much thank you very much. you are a professional
That Land Rover is too clean. 😉 Great to see a new video from my favourite railway modeller.
It wont be clean for very long! That will have a little tutorial dedicated to it in the next update. Cheers!
Everard junction, dean park and Chadwick model railway in 24hrs!! Amazing
I do slightly enjoy those intro's with the 80's synthesised backing track.. More of those please mate.
The bridge looks awe-inspiring.
Class . Like watching the real thing . Brings back memories lol
The scene looks really good great attention to detail 😀👍
Enjoyed the upload found it very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
A new Everard Junction video! What a great start to the weekend. Absolutely love your work.
Once again a brilliant video. Looking forward to the next one.
As Darth Vader would undoubtedly say, "Impressive, most impressive".
A most informative tutorial! Funny, but your video popped up right after I had watched a video by Charlie at Chadwick Model Railway in which he built a hill with foam, plaster cloth, and sculptamold and then fabricated a farm bridge. Cheers from Wisconsin!
Superb. Thanks for sharing all your tips. It looks awesome.
I think *Proud Yorkshirman* makes a very valid point... Either a small grass bank, or retaining wall along that back section at the commencement of the fiddle yard behind the new farm bridge for sure.
.
Superb work thus far Richard... Love the green Series (1/2/3) LWB Landy perched there.
Yes, its a good idea for sure. I've been pondering various ideas to better hide things for a while now. I'll make some more progress with that in the next video. Cheers
I've followed you for years. Your old layuout was great, so you must be striving to better that! Good luck with it.
Fantastic choice on the ballasting soundtrack accompanied by some of the most sublimely executed pipette utilisation I have ever seen.
Beyond inspiring..... enlightening.
Loving these videos, they are an inspiration! Thank you. However one thing I have noticed on an awful lot of layouts, be they, home, club, exhibition or professional layouts is this! Those that include a 'Scenic Break' be it a bridge, a tunnel or something else where the trains move through the back scene, as 'Proudyorkshireman' noted, you can still see them and sometimes even the fiddleyard. I absolutely detested this and came up with a simple solution. If you can extend the portal, either by a cardboard tube (or similar) paint it a dark colour. If not and this is the simplest of all and what I used to great effect! Is this, I thought back old school, to 'Ghost Trains' at the Funfair and suchlike. Then I happened across a refrigerated warehouse. That had vertical hanging down strips of plastic to keep heat out and cool air in. That was my breakthrough! I got a new black binliner, cut it to the correct size to suit my 'Scenic Break' road bridge. Cut vertical slits into it and glued it into place. The trains passed through, no Problem. It closed behind them and you couldn't see the fiddleyard. That simple trick took quite a few people by surprise at my layouts 1st Exhibition. Hope this idea helps?
I've been having similar thoughts and may well do it in the next video concerning this area. Good to know it does actually work in practice. Cheers
@@EverardJunction maybe the fiddle yard could be turned into a depot cuz it’s big
@@TanVasinTrains The fiddle yard has too much track and not enough free space for it to be turned into a convincing scenic area. It's purely an item of function, not aesthetic
If EJ simply carried on with his ballasting - all the way around the corner - and then put a black painted box over it all, then it would all blend in and 'disappear' quite naturally.
I think one has to be careful how much one 'over compensates/complicates' the scenic break... As Richard has discovered for himself, when dealing with the upgrading of the branch line bridge/scenic break. Which looks like it's changed yet again...
It is the viewing angle of incidence that is key here... With the camera views that Richard has used in this vlog, clearly it is the *very back section* that needs to be disguised.
.
Proud Yorky has it right and the simplest approach imho. The vertically-slatted curtain idea of *David Smalley* would be a good addition further along and certainly the idea from *My Tinplate Railway* would augment the transition into the off-scene fiddle yard. That said, other than this glaringly obvious detail, the improvements look exquisite.
As ever, brilliant work from a master of his art!
Don’t forget the bridge number ID plate on the centre support!
Fantastic update video as always Richard - the quality of work and your eye for detail never ceases to impress me. Thank you for sharing 👍🏼
I just love watching your videos the detailing is brilliant 👍
So happy to see another long and interesting video. Your work is really amazing!
That was brilliant Richard. The muddy track looks really effective. And that bridge that looks fantastic so well done.Look forward to part 2.

Wonderful to see you back mate. Another excellent film, please keep them coming. Great modelling tips too!
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. So much detail and great effects.👏👏👍
Hi Richard, excellent work as you always do, great techniques with the static grass and inspired by the brick work. Stay safe and well, regards Chris
Nice your technique is inspirational and results quite stunning
these videos are so inspirational, its really has helped when I'm building my own layout, whenever I get stuck I watch these and i then figure it out, keep up the good work
Another great video - your attention to detail never fails to impress.
I particularly like the 'No Poll Tax' graffiti. I used to see those or 'Stop the Poll Tax' all over the place, although I was a little disappointed you didn't add a Chad too, saying 'Kilroy woz ere' or 'Wot no...'.
Seriously keep up the good work - you're a great source of ideas and inspiration for any modeller.
'Stop the Poll Tax' brilliant, I'll add that to my graffiti in future builds. Cheers!
Another enjoyable update, even though it was only one corner there was plenty to keep the interest and time went by too quickly, staying tuned as always, take care
Just fantastic, your craftsmanship is unbelievable.
Your videos are an absolute joy and inspiration to watch Richard. I have got so many ideas for my own layout, so thank you for sharing your stunning layout. Only thing I’d never replicate is the graffiti, but stunning craftsmanship!
Excellent Richard, and from a personal perspective, really great timing ! Having built about 80% of the lower level of my railway - Pevenbourne, I need to turn my attention to some scenery. I’ve done most of the ballasting but have been reluctant to take the plunge with scenery because, although I’m pretty good with track laying and electrics, I’m really not very creative. This video is just a goldmine of information and tips that will help me no end and I look forward to deploying many of the methods you’ve used. I think maybe I’ll need to look into an airbrush as well, it looks as though they can be very versatile and add so much. Thank you for taking the time to make this video, I’ll look forward to Part 2 when you’ve had a chance to put it together. And finally, your railway looks absolutely superb.
Brilliant video as ever Richard. It's really starting to take shape now in that area. The bridge reminds me a little of Clay Cross in Derbyshire with the two sets of mainlines running either side of the bridge support. Truly great modelling. Keep up the great work as ever and happy modelling
Cheers
James
You can't beat a bit of proper bit of civil engineering at Everard Junction :)
Most enjoyable video and a great result you have achieved.
As always, it is a pleasure and a privilege to peek over your shoulder as you bring your creations to fruition. Your offerings offer me the notion of patience which is of course essential with scenery which is developed in a continuum. Real inspiration! Many thanks
Thanks Roy, glad you enjoyed it. Cheers
You would make a good D&T lecturer, first rate tutorial. Informative, thank you.
Excellent job. Really learning a lot from your process. Thanks for sharing. Roy.
Another superb update Richard. Nice work buddy.
I would never put grafitti on my layout, but even just seeing that grafitti come to life and being made was art in itself!
The brick white wash was STUNNING though... It really does do wonders for it.
Looking very nice love all the thought that goes into your layout 👍
Hat off to you fella. Superb attention to detail everywhere. Well done 👍🏼
Your work is always above par. I really try to pay attention so when I try it out it comes out half as good as yours. Keep having fun, Chris
Just a suggestion Richard. If you don't already have plans for the field area to the bottom right, would you consider leaving at least part of it undeveloped. As you travel through the countryside you would see quite a bit of stubble and pasture, perhaps with someone haymaking, or a few head of stock grazing. Often, in these sorts of scenes, less is more.
As usual, top notch work!
That's my plan with it, less scenery. I'll be fencing off the embankment and adding bushes to said embankment but the field will mostly stay as is.
You've done a fantastic job there Richard!
Great work saw you on Hornby A Model World episode. I grew up by a station so you've brought back many memories so realistic too.
Great work in constructing the girder bridge, Richard. Excellent Job..
Watching these videos is better than any of the clap trap rubbish shown on the telly that we are forced to pay tv license fees or subscriptions for.
Agreed! I unplugged my TV from the aerial 3 years ago. If I want to watch something its available online.
Nice touches once again. Love the slightly wider span on one side of that bridge, though its done to allow the curve of the track into the fiddle yard you could argue it was done because it used to be broad gauge many moons ago.
Great update Richard. I feel my new layout needs a farm bridge so the farmer has access to his wheat field.
The opening tune is so sick. I absolutely love it.
looks great. Next time try using a sponge to remove that paint at 6.16, it is a lot faster. I have used it when weathering freight cars, paint and remove. Anyway nice video !
Amazing! The bridge looked really good. But I am still waiting for the station build
Always look forward to an update Rich 👍 Really like that bridge, especially with all the details around the parapets, etc 😎 I really like the simple things you add like tyre tracks which often seem to get overlooked 🤔 Will you maybe go for a full-on woods to hide that corner (i.e as opposed to just a few scrub trees, etc)? Might give you an excuse to add a few extras like a fox or two and some large shrubs 👍
Looking forward to the next instalment and your new work elsewhere on the layout too. Any more ideas about the station yet? 😜
Cheers 👍🍀🍻
Richard, Another brilliant video. You just go to show a scenic break does not always has to be a tunnel. Very effective
Love the detailing on everything. Especially as i drove trains for BR NETWORK SOUTH EAST during the 1970s/80s/90s. Even the warning Limited Clearance sign. The one we had to be especially careful of was rarer but that was the blue & white No refuges one.
Fantastic modelling so entertaining to watch. I always watch your videos 3 or 4 times over. Brilliant. Rich.
Great video as always Richard, I always look forward to a good coffee and watching your videos when I see a new one pop up :)
Excellent work as always, will there be any livestock in the field?
Another amazing looking job. On the pointwork, check rails and wing rails are not normally shiny so take care with the 'ole track rubber 😀
Many thanks for an entertaining, instructional and inspiring video - great to see such attention to detail to create an authentic looking landscape.
I do like your well researched Network Express rakes. It'd be interesting to see some photographs of trains on your layout from the perspective of the chap on the bridge.
Lovely bridge Richard, nice mud track as well, a little variety always helps a scene. great stuff Andy
Cheers Andy
Good work Richard. Love the detailing on the bridge. Looks fantastic!!
As always Richard spot on with your scenic work, the bridge works really well as a breaker. Full of useful tips and ideas please continue and can't wait for part two. Take care and remain safe..
Awesome stuff as always. Looking forward to seeing loads more
Another great video and some stunning work on this part of the layout, I initially thought you'd do a modern concrete bridge for a dual carriage way or A class road there, but this fits in really well and once completed with bushes and trees will form an attractive area. Your modelling and painting skills are excellent, I'm not a big fan of graffiti in the real world, but on your layout, it just makes everything look so realistic and prototypical and you have some real finesse with a small brush! Already looking forward to the next part.....
Great work as always Richard. I gave you a shoutout on my channel but after watching Hornby Modelling Adventure, I needn't have bothered!
It’s just looking so brilliant! The closeup shots passing the bridge bearing is looking ultra realistic. Brilliant, just brilliant!
A very good job done on that section of the layout it is coming along very well now.
Loving the update Richard. Maybe the you could use some ballast stones to make a gravel track, as farmers sometimes put down stones if they need to move heavier machines over things like bridges. Also, the way the class 60 came round the bend under the bridge did not quite look right to me, could you hide the bend more do you think?
Thanks again for your inspiring exampels!
Your graffiti skills are so good I wonder how much experience you had with it in your younger days 😂
He was playing subway surfers in real life 😂😂😂
Looking great. I love it.
Awesome great work, very nice scenery
Water to soften the ballast before removing. That's a good trick!
awesome...I admit, I have actually been waiting for an update. Excellent series, and respect to your modelling. Tope notch.
It looks really good! Very lifelike!
Just watched the Hornby series with you on it looks awesome never realised you 3D printed the washing machines
What an awesome job. Love the detail you go into and I just hope I can emulate your efforts to such a high standard. I'm no where near to starting the scenery on my first layout but will save this as a favorite and come back to it when I start my own work!
Incredible work really enjoy your videos. You are very talented 👍👍👍
Thanks for the video - you make it all look so easy. I’m getting there with my layout, but I watch your videos and realize I have a long way to go! I need to try using the airbrush more - I tend to be a paintbrush guy when it comes to large scenic areas.
Great video, perfect outcome for this large scenic break
Absolutely amazing as usual Richard . Can’t wait for the next instalment 😎😎
Great inspiration as always. Thanks for showing us your techniques.
May I make one suggestion please? I would extend the raised embankment section that is adjacent to the nearest running line thereby hiding the trains coming round the hidden tight curve as seen at the very end of your video at 47:32. Would look better as it is a main line. Cheers. Vivian
Thanks for sharing 👍
A very interesting vlog, your eye for detail is very impressive especially with the graffiti and tyre tracks. One thing the view of the Land Rover by the bridge reminded me of the great train robbery haha, yet again very well done 👍
Incredible work and detail …great vid as usual
