Hi Richard, even though I'm fully up to date with how much progress you've made and how much fun you're having on the new garage layout, I still couldn't help feeling a sadness for you whilst watching you tear up all those years of hard work. I feel like I've gone on a journey with you and have really enjoyed it along the way and continue to do so, I've just been about 3 or 4 years behind! Keep up the good work! 👍🏻
As someone who has taken up 4 layouts I can tell you it feels great to start a new one and correct your mistakes. It always feels like you have a clean slate and this is going to be the best layout ever. I look forward to joining you on your journey. I'll be watching from Maryland across the pond in the colonies. And i'm sure you will have many great videos for us to watch. Good luck, waiting for the next update.
Maybe polystyrene sheet and board it too , if anything drops onto concrete its a gonna,besides we'll still have a creaking or too for filming !! Lol all the best
Hi Richard, great news that you've acquired a better location for the new layout. It's always sad to rip up many hours of work but I'm sure the new version will be so much better. I was sad to see my layout, Canning Parkway, getting demolished but these things happen. During the build of your new layout, I think a lot of your subscribers would welcome the opportunity to get involved , sharing their ideas with your proposed plans. My suggestion would be to definitely build 2 layers(as you have the space) with a terminus station accessed via a complicated set of pointwork( like Newcastle). Don't forget, custom pointwork is available to give the layout a unique look. Very much looking forward to following the new build and wishing you the best of luck. Cheers, Daz.
cant wait to see your new layout and get back into the scene after a long illness and operation but now iam back to comment on your lovely railway and the way you present the show just the best in my book all the best john from rugby.
That really was a sad ending, followed your progress almost from day 1. To see the layout in person, truly amazing. Thank you! Can't wait to see what comes next, a double garage! Space will be superb.
Well done, sir! I'm astonished at the realistic manner in which your steam locomotives start up: that slow 'build-up', instead of the usual electric 'jolt' to full speed. Fabulous work; and thank you for sharing it with us in lockdown!
Never a good feeling having to tear down your hard work Richard, but at least you get to start over again (I didn't have that option). Looking forward to see what design you come up with.
Good to see your new layout home - the garage looks like it will be a lot easier to work in. I guess it’s bigger too. Super video of the life and times of New Junction, thanks for posting.
New junction is dead, long live New Junction. A superb and poignant end to what has become a household name within the TH-cam world. The best of luck with starting the new build and I look forward to its progress from the ground up. Paul
Brilliant video Richard!! It’s a strange feeling seeing the end of a great layout met with the start of what I’m sure will be a fabulous new layout, really looking forward to joining you on the journey of the new build! Cheers Geoff
As an old chapter closes a new one starts all the best for the new one . And really hope it is as good as the old one. Thanks for the adventures on look forward to the next one
Well done Richard in finding a new railway room. That garage will give you so much more scope and help you run 8-coach HSTs that feel like they're going somewhere. This Covid-19 is an excellent time to get on with a layout before the summer comes 👍
Fantastic video as ever. Never an easy job to dismantle a layout all the years of graft gone in an afternoon. I had to do the same when my parents moved , but never rebuilt it. Now thanks to yourself , Richard from Everard Junction and Dave's Dean park station videos I have been inspired to not only build a new layout but catch up with the technology with dcc . Many congratulations on your new job with Hornby Magazine- I recognised that face!- and new house and look forward to see what you do with NEW junction (cant keep calling it new new) , from design upwards , cant wait . Keep safe cheers Martin ...... p.s film everything were nosey
Hi Richard, this video is one of your very best and it's hard to say that considering that ALL of them have been superb, but this one gets the Oscar based on the opening alone. I was telling a fellow railroad/model railroading enthusiast that I loved the one steam locomotive that I had during my N gauge years from age seven until age seventeen when I dropped out of the hobby for thirty-seven years pursuing other interests as where I was born and raised wasn't a boring place with nothing else to do, so NYC captured my attention then marriage and raising my son continued my absence from the hobby as it never dawned on me to resume the hobby WITH my son. Anyway, I was telling my fellow enthusiast that since returning to the hobby in 2011 in HO and O scales, I still hadn't bought a steam locomotive despite that I'd been very interested in the Union Pacific Big Boy. Well after getting into OO gauge in 2015, and my desire to increase my fleet, with this video I saw exactly what I wanted in steam, that gorgeous steam locomotive in the very beginning. Could you please tell me what it is and is it made by Hornby? What were the dimensions of the layout just dismantled and what will the dimensions of the new layout be? Also are you moving into a different residence or have you decided not to continue using your loft and decided to build a new layout in your garage? Either way, all of the very best to you in the construction of your new layout and THANK YOU for wonderful model railway memories!
Good luck with the new layout Richard. Always sad to see a layout go but soo exciting to have a new start and I for one was soo excited when you said how big the garage was, all those ideas to make reality! Exciting times ahead x
next to model railway videos we've now got some handyman videos on here! fantastic. really enjoyed watching it. Seems like a nice place you've got there, enjoy it.
Best of luck with the new build Richard! Already looking forward to seeing the progress. It’s been a pleasure watching you build this layout and of course the running sessions! Onward to bigger and better things! Keep them videos coming
Hi Richard - I am looking forward to seeing the new New Junction progressing . A couple of things I found worked well in using the garage is painting the walls , good lighting and plenty of sockets which you have. Also I put down simple rubber type floor tiles that also kept the dust down and made it more homely. Two things I swear by, Henry The Hoover and a small oil filled radiator which I keep on all the time as it keeps the garage frost free . Keep Well...……...…………………..Cheers Kev
Awesome stuff to watch. Gives the station a feel on how it looked when steam was king. Putting the layout in the shed is brilliant. Looking forward to the upcoming content. It’s going to be amazing. Can’t wait! Clint
Used to love model railways as a boy, grew out of it... far too busy nowadays with work and family commitments! But I still subscribe to a few model railway channels including yours... it's been a pleasure watching your layout progress over the last few years... you may not be the best in certain areas, but what your channel brings is a warmth, a really friendly and welcoming feeling, you relate to modellers of all ages! Thank you for the videos, I hope to see how you get on in the future! :)
So excited for the new NEW JUNCTION!! can’t wait to see the progress Richard and thanks for the uplifting presentation, the added sound just made it so good, all the best for the new build cheers Darrell
Richard I want to send my best wishes for your move and your future we will miss you dearly, me and my daughters have thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos, good luck my friend
I have been, watching this channel, from the very start. Your videos always inspired me, to create a model railway layout, and one thing that I always wanted to make on the layout, is a heritage line. And when I watched your mini series of building a heritage line , I got really inspired by all of the things that you added to build the heritage line up and so many of your ideas went into my layout aswell. Now it is a really sad and a big shame to see it all go, but I hope that the new ‘new junction’ will be bigger and better. Please keep the level of your creativity high, in making the new ‘new junction’ Thankyou.
Good luck with the rebuild of New junction I’ve remember when I first started building my first layout PRT Trains it just didn’t work, so I rebuilt my new layout St Micheal’s Junction,
Hi Richard, you are embarking on a new challenge with the opportunity to create a brand new layout, so I wish you every success. One huge advantage is not having to duck and weave around those roof supports. I will very much look forward to following your progress as you create New Junction version 2 Cheers Greg
just watched it and its made me quite sad seeing it go. This was the first layout i started watching on here when i finally got back into the hobby. look forward to seeing the updates on the new layout
Hi Richard, just catching up with everyone. Started my furlough period today so got the time now after a terbulant few weeks. I bet it was a bit heartbreaking to dismantle the layout but a new chapter begins. Great to have a good size space for the new project. I,m in the process of building an outhouse about the same size so will be looking out for a few tips for the interior as you go along. I wish my K9 would sit as quiet as that when I'm working, he normally runs off with my tools lol. Hope everyone is well with you. Stay safe Marra, regards Bobby 'T'.
without a doubt one of the best videos ever true its kinda sad seeing years of work getting taken down but knowing it's gonna be bigger and better in it's new home helps cant wait to see how progress goes keep safe mate
Hi Richard, have been watching from afar but going to be so interested in watching the progress. I have but mine within the garage, after watching an researching i did build a special room. As the temperature changes were going to be extreme. So insulated walls, and ceiling, wood flooring after sealing the floor and using insulation under the floor. This way the room holds 12 deg in the winter and 18 in the summer. Humidity and damp are not an issue so no rusting or building warping. Just think with such a setup and your attention to build you might want to batten the walls and insulate better now than latrr plus the ceiling and maybe a suspended floor, you can run your wiring under the floor or through the battens on the walls. Well as I said good look and cannot wait for the up coming videos. Ian
Looking forward to the new beginning, really enjoyed watching the old layout grow and come to life and have every confidence the new layout will be even better. Just started a new layout myself albeit on a much smaller scale, 8ft by 18 inch.
Good luck with the new build Richard, looking forward to seeing it take shape. I'm sure it will race ahead of my progress (2.5weks of lockdown and no chance to even lay a sleeper). I'm sure there are lots of lessons learnt in build one that will help shapre the new New Junction
Best of luck with the new project Richard, sad to see the old layout go but excited to see whats instore for NNJ and expanding your skills in the hobby. We did breifly speak at Lincoln's model railway show last month after you were trapped by those two older gentleman. Your doggo is awesome, all the best.
you can buy small plastic circular vents which you could use at the fascia position at either end of the joist run. Vent each joist spacing at either end. Cheers....
Sad to see the old New Junction go but can’t wait to see what the new layout will look like and you’ll have plenty of memories to build with the one! Great video Richard yet again!
Great video Richard, very envious of all that room you have for your new layout. Looking forward to seeing the new New Junction being built. Just started my layout but it's only a modest 11 foot x 6'6. Stay safe.
Hi Richard, Great video, sorry to see the layout go, but the new, new new junction home looks like it will be ideal. Best of luck with the next project.. Scott.
With going to a garage its worth putting the time into seal the draft around the big door and insulate it before you start building the layout. Vapour barrier(thin plastic sheet some Rockwool or fibre glass and a bit of plywood to make it look pretty. Seems costly when youve just moving house but it will make it a much more plesent place to model especially in the winter! Plenty of youtube DIY videos on how to do full conversions!
From my experience of having a layout in a garage very similar to yours, I'd recommend 1) insulating the walls, 2) bricking up behind the garage door (garage doors aren't a good seal! We ended up bricking up the garage door entirely, and just remounting it on the outside of the new wall, so it looked like a garage, not a bunker), 3) getting some oil filled thermostatic radiators that you can leave on low through the winter. 4) using offcuts of carpet on the floor - it's a railway room, so it doesn't need to be perfect - it absorbs a bit when you drop something, but more importantly helps your knees when you're crawling around underneath the layout. I look forward to watching the new layout build.
I agree... I know there is a cost involved, but spending a little now to fix stud work to the walls, fill it with insulation and then line it with plywood, and then make a low profile floor laid over a damp proof liner and insulated will save damage to the layout caused through dampness.
Sad to see New Junction becoming all but a memory though the videos and techniques live on. Here's to the next layout, the new, New Junction. Looking forward to seeing how it pans out in the garage and having the potential for multi-level working. All the best Richard, take it easy mate. Jordan
Oh gosh your doggy is such a sweetie Richard :-) I'm sure that garage will transform into a lovely layout room, nice natural light and good ceiling height it seems - hope it's dry as well! Cheers Joachim
Those low angle shots are amazing I am almost there as I used to be when I were a lad. I know this was some time ago so I also know you are now set up in the garage proper or nearly anyway on your last video. Great to see how it all started though.
Stunning video and can’t wait to see you new work , least it’s will give you things to do, during this massive time of boredom and fab time to do modelling . 👍
Good to see you've found a bigger space for the layout. Opens up more opportunities with what you can do with it. Sad to see the old layout go, but onto to bigger and better things!
This is exiting mate. I'm liking the effort you are going to, to get the area ready first before you start. Nothing worse than committing to a new project only to have the surrounding area let it down. Really looking forward to what the next update brings.
Bugger! Late again, I'm watching from the beginning and your dog is a sweetheart. Leaving the old set up must be sad but I'm really looking forward to seeing your new layout Richard, Great music too by the way.
I think you're missing a trick with the garage. It's much improved painted, but you could take it to the next level: stud out the walls, insulate with celotex and put up plasterboard and skirting board. For flooring look at carpet tiles - if you drop paint all over one no bother, rip it up and drop in a new one. Make it more of a cosy room?
I think you will definitely need to seal that floor or you will always have cement dust messing things up. I heard you say damp garage! In that case you will need insulate those walls as well as the roof. Good luck with whatever you decide Richard. It's a brave new world, in more ways than you can have imagined when you decided to move. Stay safe.
Hi Richard, even though I'm fully up to date with how much progress you've made and how much fun you're having on the new garage layout, I still couldn't help feeling a sadness for you whilst watching you tear up all those years of hard work. I feel like I've gone on a journey with you and have really enjoyed it along the way and continue to do so, I've just been about 3 or 4 years behind! Keep up the good work! 👍🏻
Many thanks Adam, it's the great part about TH-cam, like a visual diary. 😊
As someone who has taken up 4 layouts I can tell you it feels great to start a new one and correct your mistakes.
It always feels like you have a clean slate and this is going to be the best layout ever. I look forward to joining you
on your journey. I'll be watching from Maryland across the pond in the colonies. And i'm sure you will have many
great videos for us to watch. Good luck, waiting for the next update.
And It'll be great to have you along Vincent!
I thoroughly recommend sealing and painting the floor as untreated concrete floor are an endless source of dust.
On it, many thanks Rob!
Maybe polystyrene sheet and board it too , if anything drops onto concrete its a gonna,besides we'll still have a creaking or too for filming !! Lol all the best
I would even go as far as covering the whole floor with laminateboards. Easy to do, cheap and looks really great when done.
Rising damp too specially if plastic wasnt used under the concrete
Hi Richard, great news that you've acquired a better location for the new layout. It's always sad to rip up many hours of work but I'm sure the new version will be so much better.
I was sad to see my layout, Canning Parkway, getting demolished but these things happen.
During the build of your new layout, I think a lot of your subscribers would welcome the opportunity to get involved , sharing their ideas with your proposed plans.
My suggestion would be to definitely build 2 layers(as you have the space) with a terminus station accessed via a complicated set of pointwork( like Newcastle).
Don't forget, custom pointwork is available to give the layout a unique look.
Very much looking forward to following the new build and wishing you the best of luck.
Cheers, Daz.
Thanks Daz, that sounds like a good option!
Thank you for the black and white steam session most appreciated for those of us who are modelling that era.
You're very welcome and loads more to come!
Just wanted to say this has been one of the best presented videos ever, and thanks very much for the 50 at 4:55!
I totally agree. This is broadcast standard production.
Bev & I wish you & your family all the very best in your new home 👍
Thanks both, very kind of you!
Hi Richard, looking forward to the new, New Junction layout. Will be watching with great interest.
Thanks Raymond!
Beautiful. Very beautiful layout. This has obviously been built with love and care and has been home to many trains I’ve Rt he years. I love it.
Thanks!
I love the scene of the A4 "DoC" departing and the Class 50 046 throttling out of the station. Some fine Sound editing there!
Amazing Layout.. LUV the details.. you are extremely talented, and I can see that you’ll have success rebuilding your new layout.
cant wait to see your new layout and get back into the scene after a long illness and operation but now iam back to comment on your lovely railway and the way you present the show just the best in my book all the best john from rugby.
Thanks John, I'm glad to hear your back and able to watch! Hope the recovery wasnt too long. 👍🏻
That really was a sad ending, followed your progress almost from day 1. To see the layout in person, truly amazing. Thank you!
Can't wait to see what comes next, a double garage! Space will be superb.
You'll be sick of the sight of it after you've professionally weathered everything for me! 🤣
Well done, sir! I'm astonished at the realistic manner in which your steam locomotives start up: that slow 'build-up', instead of the usual electric 'jolt' to full speed. Fabulous work; and thank you for sharing it with us in lockdown!
Your very welcome Mark!
Your pup makes it all worthwhile.
Never a good feeling having to tear down your hard work Richard, but at least you get to start over again (I didn't have that option). Looking forward to see what design you come up with.
Well done I sure admire your perseverance.
Best of luck with the new New Junction. It was nice to see New Junction running the different eras of stock.
Glad you noticed!
@@NewJunction I was expecting some disco music for the 1970s lol.
That garage is bloody huge!!! Excellent blank canvas to start over 👍
Loads of room to pin down my ideas in! 😉
Good to see your new layout home - the garage looks like it will be a lot easier to work in. I guess it’s bigger too. Super video of the life and times of New Junction, thanks for posting.
Thanks Mark!
New junction is dead, long live New Junction. A superb and poignant end to what has become a household name within the TH-cam world. The best of luck with starting the new build and I look forward to its progress from the ground up. Paul
Brilliant video Richard!! It’s a strange feeling seeing the end of a great layout met with the start of what I’m sure will be a fabulous new layout, really looking forward to joining you on the journey of the new build! Cheers Geoff
As an old chapter closes a new one starts all the best for the new one . And really hope it is as good as the old one. Thanks for the adventures on look forward to the next one
Thanks Andrew, fingers crossed for the new one
Well done Richard in finding a new railway room. That garage will give you so much more scope and help you run 8-coach HSTs that feel like they're going somewhere.
This Covid-19 is an excellent time to get on with a layout before the summer comes 👍

I've moved home and am now using the garage. I've got from a 17ft x 9ft loft to a 17ft x 16ft garage.
The engine at the start was a Hornby A4 👍🏻
Black and white and the clicking of the camera shutter, nice touch.
Good luck with the new layout Richard. Always sad to see a layout go but soo exciting to have a new start and I for one was soo excited when you said how big the garage was, all those ideas to make reality! Exciting times ahead x
Thanks Michelle! Cant wait to get going, hope your both keeping well!
Thank-you. Very best wishes for your next steps, next tracks.
Cant wait, thanks John!
Hello from Greece 🇬🇷! Amazing work and it's very sad 😔 to sad to say goodbye to old layout! I will be waiting for the new episode!
Great news and good luck with your new project! Looking forward.
next to model railway videos we've now got some handyman videos on here! fantastic. really enjoyed watching it. Seems like a nice place you've got there, enjoy it.
All the best. Looking forward to the progress of the new layout.
Thanks Simon!

I would never be without my Henry lol
The end of video was like a American tv show! can't wait for the new layout
Awesome stuff to watch. Gives the station a feel on how it looked when steam was king. Putting the layout in the shed is brilliant. Looking forward to the upcoming content. It’s going to be amazing. Can’t wait! Clint
Thanks Clint, I hope I can do it justice!
Good luck with the move Richard and all the best for the new layout.
cheers Nic
Thanks Nic
What a great video Richard very much enjoyed. Thank you and very much look forward to the New Junction.

Ha I'm not going anywhere, just moved house!
End of a great layout and im very happy that i got to visit the layout. looking forward to the new layout
Thanks Matt, you were the FIRST celebrity visitor haha we'll take pictures next time!
Congrats on the new place for New Junction. Looking forward to the videos of the new build. Please be safe and thanks for sharing. Ken
Thanks Ken! 👍🏻
Sad to see New Junction come to an end after all the hard work you have put in, good luck with your new build.
Thanks! Cant wait to start
Omg so emotional right now. What a fab layout and I look forward for the journey of new new junction!
Thanks!
I have been, watching this channel, from the very start.

Thanks pal, I will and you'll be glad to know my heritage line will play a bigger part in the new layout! 😉
What a lot of work - it’ll be worth it though. Look forward to following the progress in the new setting. Stay safe and thanks for sharing.
Thanks Alex!
Good luck with the NEW New Junction. Looking forward to the progress
Thanks Bob!
Great video! Looking forward to seeing what you do with the new layout!
Sad to see the old layout go Richard, but excited to see your new creation. Exciting stuff!
Looking forward to your progress Richard.
Thanks Paul!
Looking forward to seeing your next layout. Lots of work ahead hope you have lots of fun doing it all. Happy modelling
Thanks for the comment David!
Good luck with the rebuild of New junction I’ve remember when I first started building my first layout PRT Trains it just didn’t work, so I rebuilt my new layout St Micheal’s Junction,
Thanks! Here's to the future
Hi Richard, you are embarking on a new challenge with the opportunity to create a brand new layout, so I wish you every success. One huge advantage is not having to duck and weave around those roof supports. I will very much look forward to following your progress as you create New Junction version 2 Cheers Greg
Thanks Greg! Your not wrong, I didnt half bash my head haha
Well done Richard, good luck on New New Junction...👍
Thanks David!
Your dog is adorable, she watches your every move, she LOVES YOU!
Shes my baby replacement 🤣
My only suggestion is to tackle the ceiling now, saves falling through the layout later
Yep that's true!
Agree, plus if you do the ceiling now you’ll have plenty of off cuts of celotex to use for making scenery
just watched it and its made me quite sad seeing it go. This was the first layout i started watching on here when i finally got back into the hobby. look forward to seeing the updates on the new layout
So looking forward to the new New Junction! The new space looks fantastic.
Thanks Nick!
Hi Richard, just catching up with everyone. Started my furlough period today so got the time now after a terbulant few weeks. I bet it was a bit heartbreaking to dismantle the layout but a new chapter begins. Great to have a good size space for the new project.

without a doubt one of the best videos ever true its kinda sad seeing years of work getting taken down but knowing it's gonna be bigger and better in it's new home helps cant wait to see how progress goes keep safe mate
That was the idea, can't wait to get going!
Hi Richard, have been watching from afar but going to be so interested in watching the progress. I have but mine within the garage, after watching an researching i did build a special room.

Well as I said good look and cannot wait for the up coming videos.

Thanks Ian!
Will miss new junction ☹️ but bring on the new new junction 😁 will be waching every step.
Good luck with the new project... I can't wait to see what you do with the additional space!
Thanks Al
Hope it all goes well. Very best of luck. 👍🏻
Thanks Jake!
Very interesting ,,, many thanks Bruno, Greetings from France
Thanks Bruno
Brilliant video Richard. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the new layout 👍
Looking forward to the new beginning, really enjoyed watching the old layout grow and come to life and have every confidence the new layout will be even better. Just started a new layout myself albeit on a much smaller scale, 8ft by 18 inch.
Thanks wayne, you should film your progress 👍🏻
That new space looks bloody fantastic. So excited for you pal!
Thanks pal!
Good luck with the new build, and have fun!
Always do, lots of messy modelling ahead
Good luck with the new build Richard, looking forward to seeing it take shape. I'm sure it will race ahead of my progress (2.5weks of lockdown and no chance to even lay a sleeper). I'm sure there are lots of lessons learnt in build one that will help shapre the new New Junction
R.I.P New Junction...
Hello New New Junction
Can't wait...
Good luck with the move and I shall look forward to seeing the new layout emerge.
Thanks Richard
Best of luck with the new project Richard, sad to see the old layout go but excited to see whats instore for NNJ and expanding your skills in the hobby. We did breifly speak at Lincoln's model railway show last month after you were trapped by those two older gentleman. Your doggo is awesome, all the best.
Thanks Ryan, I remember haha the perils of a show! Catch you again soon if this lock down ever ends!
you can buy small plastic circular vents which you could use at the fascia position at either end of the joist run. Vent each joist spacing at either end. Cheers....
great video Richard cant wait to see the new layout come long keep safe mate
Richard, I liked the opening music and commentary. Good luck with the move.9F's great. The garage looks really good.
Thanks Nigel!
Sad to see the old New Junction go but can’t wait to see what the new layout will look like and you’ll have plenty of memories to build with the one! Great video Richard yet again!
Thanks chap!
Great video Richard, very envious of all that room you have for your new layout. Looking forward to seeing the new New Junction being built. Just started my layout but it's only a modest 11 foot x 6'6. Stay safe.
Thanks Pal!
Excellent video Richard, really enjoyed that. All the best with new layout, look forward to seeing it progress..... Mark.
Thanks Mark!
Good to see there is so much progress
Hi Richard,
Great video, sorry to see the layout go, but the new, new new junction home looks like it will be ideal.
Best of luck with the next project..

With going to a garage its worth putting the time into seal the draft around the big door and insulate it before you start building the layout. Vapour barrier(thin plastic sheet some Rockwool or fibre glass and a bit of plywood to make it look pretty. Seems costly when youve just moving house but it will make it a much more plesent place to model especially in the winter! Plenty of youtube DIY videos on how to do full conversions!
Thanks Jimmy!
What a treat! The B&W footage was priceless.
Thanks!
@@NewJunction Good luck with the 'move'.
From my experience of having a layout in a garage very similar to yours, I'd recommend 1) insulating the walls, 2) bricking up behind the garage door (garage doors aren't a good seal! We ended up bricking up the garage door entirely, and just remounting it on the outside of the new wall, so it looked like a garage, not a bunker), 3) getting some oil filled thermostatic radiators that you can leave on low through the winter. 4) using offcuts of carpet on the floor - it's a railway room, so it doesn't need to be perfect - it absorbs a bit when you drop something, but more importantly helps your knees when you're crawling around underneath the layout.
I look forward to watching the new layout build.
Thanks Andrew!
I agree... I know there is a cost involved, but spending a little now to fix stud work to the walls, fill it with insulation and then line it with plywood, and then make a low profile floor laid over a damp proof liner and insulated will save damage to the layout caused through dampness.
@@MalcolmCrabbe Any tips on how to keep garages warm and free of damp, .e.g, mould, etc that may damage a layout ?
Sad to see New Junction becoming all but a memory though the videos and techniques live on. Here's to the next layout, the new, New Junction. Looking forward to seeing how it pans out in the garage and having the potential for multi-level working. All the best Richard, take it easy mate.

This video made me sad all your hard work gone 😪 well can't wait for the start of the new layout.
Superb content as always, thanks! Can’t wait to see the new layout once it’s completed.
Thanks Mike!
Oh gosh your doggy is such a sweetie Richard :-) I'm sure that garage will transform into a lovely layout room, nice natural light and good ceiling height it seems - hope it's dry as well! Cheers Joachim
This is really my favourite Channel!
Thanks for your nice Videos,
it is very enlightening,
Waiting for your latest update.

Those low angle shots are amazing I am almost there as I used to be when I were a lad. I know this was some time ago so I also know you are now set up in the garage proper or nearly anyway on your last video. Great to see how it all started though.
NJ greetings , am really looking forward to NJ 2.0 , should be an awesome journey, great stuff … cheers … steve :]
Stunning video and can’t wait to see you new work , least it’s will give you things to do, during this massive time of boredom and fab time to do modelling . 👍
Great video. Looking forward to watching the progress from scratch. Good luck pal.
Thanks Chris!
Good to see you've found a bigger space for the layout. Opens up more opportunities with what you can do with it. Sad to see the old layout go, but onto to bigger and better things!
Thanks, let's hope so hehe
This is exiting mate. I'm liking the effort you are going to, to get the area ready first before you start. Nothing worse than committing to a new project only to have the surrounding area let it down. Really looking forward to what the next update brings.
Thanks! Loads to come
Very nice UK layout. Good luck.
Thanks chap!
Bugger! Late again, I'm watching from the beginning and your dog is a sweetheart. Leaving the old set up must be sad but I'm really looking forward to seeing your new layout Richard, Great music too by the way.
I think you're missing a trick with the garage. It's much improved painted, but you could take it to the next level: stud out the walls, insulate with celotex and put up plasterboard and skirting board. For flooring look at carpet tiles - if you drop paint all over one no bother, rip it up and drop in a new one. Make it more of a cosy room?
I think you will definitely need to seal that floor or you will always have cement dust messing things up. I heard you say damp garage! In that case you will need insulate those walls as well as the roof. Good luck with whatever you decide Richard. It's a brave new world, in more ways than you can have imagined when you decided to move. Stay safe.
