    I've now watched every video and have thoroughly enjoyed observing your steady progress. I very much appreciate your use of the available materials rather than one of the myriad products you can buy at huge expense, So much around us can be reused or recycled that it infuriates me when I see perfectly good material going to waste. Using what you already have to model with is wonderful to see. Thank you for bringing this all to us and for your humourous, easy-going approach to the subject. It really is a breath of fresh air....

    I really enjoyed the video and your technique as many are on budget and the end product shows what can be done. I really do like the name of your lay out, fun. Nice GWR locos.

    Found your channel and thank goodness I did - some lovely techniques there! Iv tried to use the stuffing method before, and for my first go did not really enjoy the experience but will give it another go after seeing this. Although I will need to make the hedge much smaller as I model in N gauge. Thanks for uploading and you have another subscriber!

    Great work man! Really inspirational! The hedgerow with footpath I think has to be my favourite section there!

    Good demonstration of the techniques you use - if somewhat messy! Then end result was worth it. Thanks for uploading.

    Another lovely video! The engine shed needs a water crane and some coal bunkers. Also a hut for the oil lamps. Great job!

      I do have a water tower, and I've been pondering where to put it, as it'll serve the station as well. Is right outside the engine shed a good place? Opposite the coal stage or next to it? Feels like a can of worms...
      Nice idea about the oil lamp hut, I'll keep my eye out for one of those.

    Love your videos sir - lots of inspiration for me

    The patchy grass effect looked very effective and I personally think that 4mm is tall enough in most applications, unless it's a complete wilderness.
    The brown paint looked very much like London clay soil as well as south Devon soil. It's all coming together quite well now, looking forward to the next update.

    Fine leaf foliage from woodland scenics is KING for bushes and trees in my opinion. Straight out of the box and lgue it down where you want it, its brilliant stuff!!
    Generally speaking, in a small or even big loco depot/shed area you find sleepers, spare bits of rail, barrels, boxes, pallets, all kinds of junk. Cable reels are great aswell, though maybe not prototypical for the 1930s!!

    Great video, and I picked up some good tips. About the grass length - surely, in "OO" gauge, isn't 4mm 1 ft, or 30 cm?

  • @dibsyardshuntinglayout
    @dibsyardshuntinglayout ปีที่แล้ว

    Have you thought about drying ans sieving some earth from your garden for the foot path?

    • @FrontingtonandBackwoodsRailway
      @FrontingtonandBackwoodsRailway  ปีที่แล้ว

      That was originally my intention. The trouble is that the earth in my garden is completely the wrong colour and texture, and getting hold of the right stuff proved to be impractical. I also considered using tile grout, but again it seemed expensive given how little I'd be using.

  • @dibsyardshuntinglayout
    @dibsyardshuntinglayout ปีที่แล้ว

    For the scrub land how about some old rails, a pile of sleepers with rusty chairs. Some piles of ballast with grass and weeds growing through it. A barrel or two?
    Btw is 4mm tall grass not 30cm / 1 foot in 4mm/foot scale? Not 50cm

    • @FrontingtonandBackwoodsRailway
      @FrontingtonandBackwoodsRailway  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ah, you're right! I must have plugged the wrong numbers into the calculator. Good catch! Fortunately I think I'll get away with it, as 30cm is still pretty tall for what I'm aiming for.

    • @dibsyardshuntinglayout
      @dibsyardshuntinglayout ปีที่แล้ว

      @@FrontingtonandBackwoodsRailway yeah, 12 inch tall grass is probably enough for most layouts.

    Looks great 👍 very impressive and like the style of presentation. Do i spy a peco y turnout in the goods yard? Ive noticed the sleepers of the 2 track pieces from the turnout clash, are you supposed to remove them ?

    Please can you share how you made your static grass applicator from the fly swatter?
    Thank you

    • @FrontingtonandBackwoodsRailway
      @FrontingtonandBackwoodsRailway  ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh I didn't make it, I bought it online somewhere a few years ago. But it's pretty clear what it used to be.

    What is the brand of static grass applicator you use??

    • @FrontingtonandBackwoodsRailway
      @FrontingtonandBackwoodsRailway  ปีที่แล้ว

      No brand, as such, just a cheap thing I bought on ebay a few years back.

      ​@@FrontingtonandBackwoodsRailwayjust a heads up as I long wondered about the croc clip as seen lots using it various ways. When I looked into it, this acts as the negative charge that the grass which is positively charged in the unit then stands to, so holding the clip far away means the grass won't stand up as well. There was an article on the myths about static grass. So ideally you want to hold it near to the grass as it falls. 🎉
