- COUNTRYSIDE SCENE part 4 - SCENERY, DETAILS, OHLE & a SIGNAL
Lots done over the past two weeks to see the the area pretty much complete. I go through each component of the scene showing or explaining what was done to achieve the desired effect. Enjoy!
Here is the link to the signal video I did on Piccadilly station , showing how I made the signals, the control panel and wiring it for manual / individual signal control:

John, your attention to detail and modelling skills are up there with my favourite railway modellers, Tony Northeastern, Everard Junction and Chandwell. I am not a scale railway enthusiast myself, it it the creation of the layout and back story of the layouts that fascinate me, along with your creative ability to produce something believable in miniature. Keep up the excellent work, you are an inspiration.
Thank you so much, I do appreciate that. Im just having fun.
You're doing a superb job with the scenics, they really are looking good...cheers James 🙂👍
Your backscene is a real work of art. What a superb effect!
Thank you, I decided to paint it, so it ties in exactly with the scenery.
John. Very nice work. Looking forward to the next stage. Pete.
John that scenery work is just Superb . Brilliant details. Well done John give your self a Gold Star my friend..
Regards. Lord Al.
Bless you Alan thank you. So glad you like it.
Wonderful work John, I especially love the hand painted backscene.
Thank you so much, I dont think I could buy anything remotely suitable, then all the issues with fitting and durablity. Painting all the way now.
Again, it's a great back scene. I think they join up very well. The join is very good and not really noticeable. The sky does vary from different directions. I love the river.
Thank you Duncan for all your kind words, glad you like the scene.
I liked the John Constable approach to the countryside back scene making it out of patchwork of things taken from several images. The end result is very effective. The whole scene looked really good as the trains ran through as you panned around. The video was a really good way of showing how to build the whole scene in various parts. The running shots at the end were great especially the 37 emerging under the bridge. Stephen
Thank you, so glad you like it. I always planned to paint the backscenes, that way I can tie it in with the scenery. Been a lot of fun over past few weeks. Looking at 323 now. Cricut design space is really doing my head in, lol
Absolutely love it ,u are an artist genius and how u work stuff out to look natural , I struggle and I m oo gauge , thank u these videos are so inspiring
Thank you so much glad you enjoyed it.
looking good. Can you not print the curved trunking on the 3D printer?
Hi, yes of course, no need, it’s so flexible. I was saying cut plates into individuals as I am quite known for doing such.
Things came out really good. Thanks for sharing 😮
Hi John - superb bit of scenery work. Backgrounds really tie it all together. Very impressive bit of work. Cheers Euan
Thank you Euan, so glad you like it.
John, the water will be the icing on the cake, It's fantastic how you have tied it all together with the back scenes, I'm sure as an artist some of your paintings would be quite something
Bless you Chris thank you. I always mean to do some paintings, but never seem to get round to it. I enjoy the modelling more so. I agree the resin will make a huge difference, and on Torr Vale Mill too. It still quite cold here so hanging on for warmer weather. The resin needs it to cure properly. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment.
Lots of little details making a great scene, as expected from yourself! Like the idea of the weir as well. I must start thinking about putting in some lights on my layout, a project for next winter perhaps. Could I ask what brand the lights you are using?
Regards
Steve
Hi Steve, thank you for your kind words, much appreciated. I just get my LEDs from ebay or Amazon now. There was a guy on ebay who was brilliant and always gave away freebies with your order, but... he's long gone now.
The signal LEDs were the real tiny ones 1mm x 0.5mm I think, wires like hairs, but great for these tiny applications. I used a 3v feed, generally ok. The red was bit fragile though, had to swap this one 3x, I know...
The scene looks good. Nice one with the backdrop painting as well.
Thank you, so very kind of you.
Hi John,
One word SUPER well done.
Cheers Robert.
Bless you Robert, thank you, really appreciate that.
Hi John- That has really come out very well and I particularly like the back scenes they do work and the road does look like it goes into the distance and when the water goes in that willtop it off.
Cheers Kev
Thank you Kev, Ill do the resin pours for both areas in the Summer hol when the weather is consistently warmer.
John, what a river bed and super perspectives into the backdrops! Quite an achievement. Regards, Stephen.
Thank you Stephen, so glad you like it. Ill do the resin pour for the water in the summer hols when it is a bit warmer, as the resin, I have, needs this to cure properly.
Quite brilliant artwork on the back scenes coupled with clever use of physical scenery gives a fantastic depth of perspective! It really does look so believable and realistic!
Thank you Keith, much appreciated. I always planned to paint the backscene as you can tailor it to exactly what you need. Thank you for watching and taking the time to watch.
Great scenics as always John. You wouldn't believe it was N gauge. Looks brilliant mate. All the best Andy
Ahhh thx, I certainly know its N gauge when I keep dropping parts only to find the carpet was hungry and never see the bits ever again, lol

Hi John! Another great episode detailing the countryside scene! Loved the backscene you painted! You made it look really simple - just slap a bit of paint on, make sure it's the right height and blends in well - but it looks fantastic, and must have taken a load of planning to achieve! Really looking forward to when you pour the river and the weir! Roll on the summer holidays I guess! Lol! All the best, Ian.
I prefer painting my own backscenes these days. I used to buy the printed ones, nightmare to apply, then they fade, crinkle and tear. No more! I can get exactly what I want by painting it. I did research some skies and hillsides, but no more planning than that really. I went to Art college to do 3d design and we had to produce a few paintings there when it was easier to show a concept. (No computers then). You are right: slap on the colours; remembering where shadows would be; use 2/3 or 4 variants of the same colour. Bob is then you best friend.
Well, even though you went to art school, the back scene still turned out to be brilliant! 😀
Very kind, thank you
Hope my little railway turns out half as good as yours, always a pleasure to watch your progress
Bless you Graham, sure it will Graham, you are very good at what you do.
@@piccadillymodelrailways thank you, but I worn you it all goes wrong in the next one
Lol, we all have that.
