I will take the award for watching the video in the most unusual place: on the sun deck of a cruise ship in Tenerife. Fabulous thought provoking video as always
Nice one Eric. Love your presenting style. It's great and entertaining. So good to see that you measure once and cut twice!! 🤣The road looks fab. Can't wait to see the layout on the circuit. Well done mate. Great stuff. All the best. Simon.😀😀
That is a fantastic upgrade to that scene! As someone that works in a depot myself, I think you have already created a very realistic and feasible scene that can only get better still once you add the details 😎
I enjoy your video's very much. I understand that you keep getting fresh ideas, I just feel it would be good to complete something. This is the third or fourth change to the depot.
I always find your channel very inspiring, i bought the EFE 1962 Stock recently and i'm planning a deep level tube layout in the shelves of my office room. Still lots to think of, but i just want to say thank you for the tutorials regarding adding lights to the tube stock.
@@DonningtonCastleModelRailway cheers man, yours is making good progress too. Yeah its nice as it gives it a little texture, everyone does it different though so just about what you are happy with i guess. It still needs more work anyway eventually
@@UndergroundEric its the ability to easily vary the texture across the road surface that I like about how you've done it. And btw it would be awesome to see your layout at the Newbury MRC exhibition at some point in the future.
Fine bit of P-way work and civil engineering I reckon you could make a bid for any future contracts with BR - LT. your really have a good way of presenting. I would love to see a hawaiian blue Austin maxi.. the passion waggon on a lay out. and there in lays a tale:) Good luck for the coming year.
Altering the end of the layout with the hard stand and the turning circle has made that end of the layout look much better. Well, done. Martin. (Thailand)
Some great tips as ever, thanks Eric. Out here in Thailand I don't get all the products on offer back home so try stuff out, so far I've managed to get a decent ballast from beach sand and roads I brush thick grey water based primer then while wet sprinkle different shades tile grout. You think you get messy!! 😀 Where's the hoover?
Looking very good Eric! You were saying about exhibitions towards the end of the video, for what its worth the Mid Norfolk Railway are doing a model railway show on 1st March, I don't know if they are fully booked for exhibitors but it might be worth an ask?
Like what you've done very much. Are you going to put some sort of road signage up to protect the cables over the road, knowing what van and machine drivers can be like in respect of bridge bash incidents!! Regards, Paul.
Hi Eric, how do you get away with doing all your modelling on your dinning room table in your house? I need to know these secrets of success. Nice work on your layout. I've enjoyed watching the series of how you've made this section of the layout. Tim
That is some of the best spray paint advice I’ve ever heard 😂
@@WesternSignalman just trying to spread awareness 😂

@@timfellows8334 well i would love to swap places in that case!!

@@PondersEndModelRailway he is a great friend luckily for me!
Looking good Eric, the textured spay paint works well for the road 👍
@@ModelRailwayShed cheers yeah its handy eh!

@@timsully8958 cheers mate, used to work in one myself, sadly space is always going to be the limiting factor though!
@: aye, but it’s always worth remembering: it’s better to capture the essence than worry about proportions 😉
@timsully8958 very true

@@paulbrien4817 changing my mind is part of the fun! Nothing wrong with that if it leads to a better overall model imo
You entertain Eric and you do it well...good so far !!!
@@philipgardner7360 haha i do try 😇

@@outatime23 that would be very cool, a lot you can do in a small space. Thanks for watching pal
Hi Eric, doing a cracking job hope to see it at a show this year if not to far to travel cheers Al
@@breintonjunction791 lets hope so! Will have to see if anywhere fancies it
Very informative and food for thought
@@CinemaShow-ok5vw nice one
Really enjoying watching the layout coming together and looking forward to the next update.
@@ianhamilton8272 thanks Ian 👌🏼
Hi Eric, That Road surface looks great. 👍 Thks for sharing. Colin.
@@going2thedogs thanks Colin
This is looking great Eric. The road / tarmac method is really good too. Will certainly give it a go when I get round to adding tarmac on BL
@@belsteadlanemodelrailway cheers matey hopefully it serves you well!
Looking great and thanks for the road aged tips. Jersey Bill
@@JerseyBill-x9r thanks bill!
Love how its all coming together. Will definitely give your road building approach a go when I get to that point on my layout.

@@DonningtonCastleModelRailway Newbury isnt overly far, probs an hour and a half, easily doable 👌🏼
Coming along nicely, I like that textured aerosol paint, might have to try that myself!
@@TheseTwoRails its really good stuff, the concrete is the same brand too!
Looking amazing Eric, some great ideas and techniques.
@@robertfrowen468 cheers matey
Very nice...love seeing the progress you're making. Always enjoyable.
@@2010ditta thanks as ever Tim im glad you like it

An Austin Maxi! Thats different!

Very enjoyable video. It’s looking great.

@@MattyP62618 cheers mate, ive got chesham show the 2nd so that wouldnt really work sadly! Haha
@@UndergroundEricah fair enough fella 👍 hope that show goes well for you!

@@PaulWilliams-h1y tis an idea, although theyll have to make it under the bridge first 😝
Could you get a 5 car train in the front siding still?
@@thomasedwards5700 yep! Thats the plan!
Hi Eric, how do you get away with doing all your modelling on your dinning room table in your house? I need to know these secrets of success. Nice work on your layout. I've enjoyed watching the series of how you've made this section of the layout. Tim
@ScampertonModelRailway cheers Tim, its often easier in life to seek forgiveness, rather than permission i find 😂
A shrubbery!
The tarmac looks very lifelike. What was the colour of the rustoleum? "something iron"
Ahh, you have just shown us a close up... "Aged Iron"
@@dibsyardshuntinglayoutyep Aged Iron, their Concrete is what ive used for that too
@@UndergroundEric Awesome thank you bud. Great tip there. The module is looking epic already.
In 1 hour
The lower quadrant signal is very nice but where's it operated from?
The board to go next to this (when part of the larger layout) will have the signal box 👍
@UndergroundEric excellent. I was worried it was operated from the other side of the bridge and the signaller can't see the aspects ;)
Yippee new video
What about the Bassingbourn model railway exhibition
@Londontransitduck never heard of it
@UndergroundEric you been ther with agr oun time
@UndergroundEric it's also called the royston model railway show
Ohhh yes Royston i know the one! Hmm
@@UndergroundEric well I'm sure if you were to go with agr you could get away with displaying your layout and possibly borrowing some trains
You've seen my nan's bed on the Internet? 😂
Anything goes, on Reddit 😂
