I must admit a few videos back. I thought it was never going to look right. Here, you are showing us how good your vision was.
Thanks haha, i was worrying a bit myself at first but we got there mate!
@erixtar1992 if you fancy a bid, search for this. Bachmann class 20 in London Transport Tube livery
Someone's been busy Eric, if you can't sleep I suppose you could always count the bricks on the sheets you have installed lol. All looking good, you should be pleased with the progress many thanks for sharing looking forward to your next update, take care regards Barry..
Cheers Barry 🙂
I'm in awe of the level of detail you put in.
Thanks mate!
Good work. To see the basic bits of wood turned into brickwork and then the brickwork gets set into a realistic scene. Love the odd animal touches too. Bet the fox is going after pigeon eggs.
Who knows, that or rabbits! Lol
Super video. The new scene looks very effective and brickwork turned out great. Thanks for all the info and tips - much appreciated! Looking forward to following the continuing build of the lower scenes.
Appreciate that mate!
Excellent work again Eric, really like how you connect all the different levels together with some great scratch build walks and scenery 👍 cheers Darrell
Thanks mate!
Great vid Eric, the weathering really brings it to life .
Stay motivated! 👍😉
Thanks, i will try!
Great work Eric. I like the idea if the soil under the trees - I'm going to give that a go .. Thanks for sharing ... Steve
Cheers Steve, just adds that little touch i think mate
Absolutely in love with this layout. Have followed for a while and it’s the best example of LU modelling out there! I was hoping the arches from the headshunt were going to continue to the tunnel mouth but have the last 4 or 5 unbricked so there’s a better view of the diving trains. The retaining walls look good too tho man. Absolutely awesome work!! 🙌🏻🛠️🤩
Thankyou so much mate. It will all come together when i eventually put the 4th rail in i hope!
That would have been cool, i hadnt really thought of that!
Cheers
Washes Work Wonders, mate 😁 nice idea having a loco to be dead in tow!
Yeah defo doing the job! And powders ha.
Yeah lucky ebay cheapy that one
looking good Eric...thanks for this one as ever...
Thankyou mate
Looking good. Foliage descriptions , have given me ideas for my layout . 👍
Awesome mate
I didn't think you were going to pull that off but it does look amazing now!
Thanks!
Fantastic update Eric. Scenics is always the best part for me. Keep up the good work mate!
Thankyou!
Looks amazing Eric. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks a bunch mate
It is looking really great. I am quite impressed.
Thankyou
Looks absolutely amazing. Some great ideas there, love the bridge and the scenery.
Thankyou!
Nice build update Eric. The road bridges over the siding is a great idea. The surrounding scenery came out great. Liking the retaining walls too. - Nicholas.
Thanks a lot mate
It's come together very nicely, looks natural. I did wonder how it would look but yeah I like it atb Andy
Thanks Andy.
Very nice work. Love how it all comes together.
Having been binge watching Secrets of the London Underground, I'd have been tempted to put a disused station inside that tunnel, as it looked a bit like like a platform there already.
I agree with you about not butchering that fab station building, and not having a second passenger staircase. But the staff access ladders/metal stairs would look great. Worth googling for OO/HO metal fire escapes I'd say.
The thought did cross my mind! Never say never haha.
Thanks mate
Excellent, great progress. 😊
Thanks Mark!
looking really good eric.
Thanks!
Hi Eric like what you've done with the tunnel and brickwork. I've used these plastic trees in the past and used scatter to tone some down exactly as you have here. My current layout only has small hawthorns so I've used seafoam with scatter and they look much better. I have thought that for larger trees if you didn't want to scratch build with wire etc you could try the following. Strip of all old existing foilage from plastic tree branches. Add small bits of sea foam to the ends of the plastic tree branches with super glue blend them in with filler or bindings. Spray it all a suitable color first then use layering spray and scatter to add the foilage. Should result in quite a decent looking tree if done well with much less work than using wire and plaster of paris or similar.
Cheers mate. I did used to use seafoam trees, the trouble is they are just so brittle thats the only reason i stopped and went for more off the shelf stuff!
They just dont stand up to the occasional knock ect.
Cheers though!
This is amazing I defo want to see more of this excellent lauout
Impressive stuff. Well done your retaining walls look great.
Cheers.
Thanks' Eric do like the Fox ad's interest in the scene
Cheers mate
Hi Eric, nice update you got good ideas and vision and bring it to look real excellent modelling skills 👍 cheers Al
Nice one Al!
That looks amazing, i was worried that it wouldnt fit with the 2 very different levels but you have done an awesome job and it really does look fantastic .
Me too 🤣
Another great video Eric I like the wall very effective can't wait for the next one!!
Wont be long im sure
That end panel that sticks out, you have to use it as a display of sewage pipes, power, gas etc under the road.
Christ, theres an idea mate!!!!
You can get model buddleia,it's everywhere on the underground.
I sm in awe. Well done so far.
Thanks a bunch mate
Very good update Eric, its coming on very nicely. Love the really authentic sounds from your 37. Reminded me of when 37884 brings the units through Newport for scrapping at Sims'. All the best.
Cheers mate! For a factory sound file its one of the best i think
very flat squashed death. I knew you were a talented kind of a guy :) Make more videos :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The layout is really starting to look good Eric. :)
Thankyou mate
Eric this is just getting better and better
Cheers lol
great video
Cheers mate
Hi Eric another good vid, interesting developments on your layout, the small area next to the tunnel entrance could be set up with workmens area with a hut and scatter of materials, tools for track work, bits of rail, isolaters few sleepers etc, have you had any dealings with Goodwood scenics, have some interesting gear, well done keep up the good work.
Thanks mate.
Yeah goodwood do some nice stuff, ive not dealt with them personally but have pinched a few of their bits from a friend which are great
Pretty good as usual...I thought that the wide piece could be a start of a ring road/motorway ?? Otherwise everything seems to be great
Im trying to go with that metroland high street kinda feel
How about some overhanging vegetation such as strands of ivy buddleia growing out of the retaining wall alongside the siding; that would breakup the long strand of coping at the top and perhaps give some depth to the appearance of wall ?
Yep i completely agree, it is 100% on the list!
good shit lad
Haha cheers pal
Just a thought, for closing panel wall by the tunnel entrance, consider using thin polycarbonate sheet (removable) instead to view trains entering and exiting. Otherwise all good stuff, Thanks !
Unsure 100% what you mean buddy
@@UndergroundEric Well, the tunnel entrance at front right of layout recently covered with brick sheeting. Move along to the right more where the closing wall was fitted; Remove said wall and replace it with a polycarbonate sheet of same size. End of ! Now trains will be visible at beginning of underground section.
Thus adding another point of interest.
Would you not at a later stage add lights to your rendition of park street lower tunnel? Otherwise it looks very very good!
That is the plan!
👍🚂🚞🚞🚞👍
Hi Eric I've been working on the railways for 34 years and I'm a keen model maker. But since this year I've been very poorly and my concentration has gone completely. So i have been watching a lot off model railways on you tube recently. Being I've travelled a lot on the underground trains I've noticed that when people model the underground 🚇 they don't have the full length trains. Is this because off space or is it because the model maker's don't do the center coach to form a three car couple to a four car set. This was to make a 7 car set i.e. Bakerloo train.
Hi mate, its usually a space issue yeah. The centre cars are available/can be built but are costly though.
Shorter trains just mean more space for varied scenery, otherwise the whole harefield road portion of the layout would need to be a platform almost 🙂
@erixtar1992 I understand now as must layouts in modern houses don't have the room. You have to have deep pockets to convert the roof space to get any distance on any layout.
See this just as i have to leave for work ;{
Id just finished when it went live lol
*promosm*
Where do you get/order your modal trains from?
Usually through AGR
@@UndergroundEric Sorry to ask but what’s ARG 🤦🏼
@@JonathanLDN its my local model shop mate 🤘🏼
@@UndergroundEric Ah ok, I’ll have to see if I can order. The modals look amazing!! ☺️👍
Hand held cams sucks
Well how about you go and buy yourself a tripod, build a model railway and you can have a nice smooth video that nobody watches.
