- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- In this part I show you how I've laid the track and finally get the collection back up and running on the new layout.
Took a long time to do this one which is why there was a long delay since the last video.
Nearly an hour of Everard Junction! Fantastic.
Yes its been a while. And a nice mention of my channel at the end! Top stuff! Dave
Your channel is great too, have been subscribed for a while
It's always a pleasure to see one of your videos, Richard, as well as the progress you've made on the new layout. With the quality of your content, please don't worry about how time elapses between videos. They are well worth any wait. Thank you for posting.
Have you clicked on my layout link at the end of the video....some aspects are very similar to Richards. ;-) I would welcome any feedback from my videos.
I hadn't, but I will. Thanks.
Hi, thanks! Enjoy...if you do sub, and share lots of my videos. I am trying to put more content on to cater for what people want ;-) Cheers. Dave
As it happens, I HAVE seen a great many of your videos. It's been a bit though, so I didn't connect your name here to Dean Park Station at first. Your caravan (we call them trailers..lol) park stands out in my mind, but those certainly aren't the only ones I've watched. I don't do any sharing, I'm not in any social media except Google+. I quit Facebook a couple of years ago because their CEO is such a dick. But I still enjoy the content, seeing the creative process, even though I have neither the room nor money for a layout of my own. You've brought your layout a long way and I will continue to watch. Have a great day..! Bob
Actually sounds like a railway. You have nailed that clickety clack sound with the 60 foot lengths. Impressed that such a small detail can do so much to enhance the layout. Fantastic idea.
Brilliant, you have proved that a lot of patience and attention to detail really pays dividends, thanks for sharing.
Richard, beside the fact that you did a tremendous amount of work since you're last video
I imagine as you said in the video the pleasure of earring the noise of the train running again
and "what a collection", I think that you also excel in making you're video's & the music.
Thank you.
Your level of patience is a credit to you, the results of which speak for themselves in the track laying. The new Bullhead track is quite a feature too. This new layout is going to be a feast to enjoy. Thanks for sharing. Paul
You are a great worker on your setup, so much time taken in the details, and the finished work looks great. Your hard work brings so much pleasure to us viewers.
I was just wondering when a new video would come out. It's been a while. Now I know why! :D Keep 'em coming! They are a joy to watch.

I’m really starting to like where this is going. Especially with the track tie space. (or sleepers) You’ve done a fantastic job Richard. I cannot wait until this layout has scenery. I bet it’ll be mind blowing. :D
That running session at the end! Brilliant, all your efforts are paying off. Lovely video to Watch, and thanks
Excellent work there Richard. The track work your doing is well worth the effort, a pain in the butt to do but well worth it. I'm one of those twats who will use totally hand made track so will have to thread all the chairs on the rail as well. On a slight negative, where you join the concrete sleepers to the wooden sleepers at point work I noticed you cut down the concrete sleepers to fit. In reality they would have used wooden ones as wood is easier to cut than concrete. Also when you want to create the 60' panels, rather than cutting all the way through the rail just cut half way. Once you've added the fishplates they will look the same but you won't have to worry about soldering to electrify the joint. Anyway great to see trains running again and really looking forwards to the next update. Well done.
Thank you for taking the time to do all the video work while building the new layout, truly impressive skills!
I was like a kid with a new toy. when I see this update; and the curving of the point was really helpful cant wait for the next one.
Great work on your layout. You film great shots too. I love that little tilt on the curve. You captured that really good. It’s always fun to watch your train runbys. - Drew
I love your intros! I'm getting back into railway modelling after a 40 year absence. Your videos have been an inspiration. I'm really looking forward to getting started...
Absolutely loving the new style of videos! really looking forward to the next part! keep up your amazing model railway-ness!
Hi Richard Nice to hear from you again well worth waiting for layout looks amazing look forward to seeing your next update brilliant
Looking really good Richard. Could definitely see the effect of the banking and hear the ‘clickety-clack sound you were going for too. Well done!
Looking great.
The movement of locos has the lean and bank one way the other the hard work is starting to paying off . Look forward to next update
All the best Richard
Excellent, well worth the wait, your patience with the tracklaying is really paying off, thanks for making these videos, Jim :)
Been waiting for this.. was even better than I expected.. looking forward to the next.. brilliant work..!!
Fantastic as always. I look forward to each update.
The one thing I find frustrating is that we have had concrete sleepered flexi-track for decades and 2 turnouts since 2010. We now have steel sleepered and bi-block, but are still expected to use wooden sleepered turnouts. Peco are one of the biggest manufacturers yet seem to ignore this.
An excellent tutorial giving clear and concise details and information. Too late for my own small efforts, but should I attempt another then this will give me inspiration. Thank you.
Rumblin' in suburbia!! Yay! Welcome back, Chief!
Brilliant Richard been waiting to see how you tackled the elevation on the curves. Love the frieght trains great stuff keep going . Regards Alan
Geez that was fascinating
The very last footage showing the trains running....fantastic
Is ur greatest skill...paitience
Looking forward to your scenic commencement
Interesting to see that you are running the lines as an up-down-up-down config rather than up slow - up fast - down fast - down slow that we have on the ECML. Excellent video, and well worth the wait
It is a model of the GW, which is laid out fast-fast-relief-relief. The GE is also fast-fast-slow-slow, as is the WCML until Roade where the slow lines detour to Northampton. It then becomes slow-fast-fast-slow through most of the Trent Valley.
Brilliant update looking forward to seeing the next one.
I enjoyed every minute of that well worth the wait even if i did check your channel every other day......Keep them coming we be here waiting no matter how long we know your busy guy .
Wow !!! I am wandering around your video's and very impressed thank you.
Good job and thx for all the tips. I have almost finished my first railway board for a child’s birthday. I have to transport it 24 miles so everything has to be fixed which brought a set of challenges.
Brilliant! It's good to see the overall finish with the spaced sleepers. Though I've slowed down on mine to enjoy summer I've made a steady start on the long slow process of 're-spacing and using a mixture of all the fine scale track - bullhead, wooden and concrete sleeper flat bottom - should look very effective. A huge amount of my time has been spent having to research the correct types of track down and around Exeter St David's station so countless images later I've got it virtually spot on.
Itching to run something 🤣
Tim
The only thing I had wondered is if the gauging was compromised by all of the sleepers being isolated. All of the other questions I had been thinking of he dealt with during the course of the vid. If you read this Richard, bloody well done mate.
Thanks for the turnout minor curve tip and great relaxing video.
This is model railway porn. Richard, you are a genius, your attention to detail, respacing the sleepers, cutting the track to scale 60’ lengths, banking the curves, whatever next. Stuff you’ve forgotten is more than I’ll ever know about model railways. I don’t care if I have to wait another two months for your next video if it’s going to be as good as this one. The trains running at the end, as I said, model railway porn. If it looks this good now, what’s it going to look like when there’s a bit of gravel and static grass thrown at it? Thanks for sharing Rich.
Jon
Great comment! I couldn’t put it better myself.
mine is crap
I'd say the extra tedious work was well worth it...It looks and sounds great!
fantastic update.
i always look forward to seeing these.
and some good ideas too
A wonderfully informative, helpful and interesting video. Thank you.
Brilliant love the sleeper spacing going to try that thanks mate
Simply lovely and plenty in the tank good sir
The high standard achieved and the close up look at the new bullhead track is pulling me back to modelling the UK prototype..... now where is that 37..... thanks.
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Bob
Thanks bud, was looking forward to this for a long time, its been worth it
That video was well worth the wait. Excellent as always 😀
Mate dont make it so long between drinks , been waiting soooooo long for this update video of yours , jumped for joy when i got the notifaction on you tube of your new update video , a whole hour damm near was stoked sat down with a few rum and cokes and enjoyed your video was great was in model train heaven .
Great progress, but very odd seeing your rolling stock run around a different layout.
Looking forward to seeing all the track laid and the branch line operational.
Cheers, Rich.
This is the wiki of how to build a model railway. Superb.
really looking good mate can't wait for the next one . keep up the good work .
oh! and if you could cover electrofrogs that would be fantastic. thanks for everything Richard, i might even end up with a worthwhile layout thanks to your videos!
Great vid , your doing fantastic work on that layout , it's credit to you and it was great to see you running train's at scale speed , keep up the great work
Cheers Glynn
It is official! TH-cam doesn’t want to notify me about your new videos! I shouldn’t have to find it 2 days later in the recommended section!
Thanks for the details and some time trainwatching at the end.
Looking good going to be fantastic when completed
Really enjoyed your video and your attention to detail.
That cork didn't really suppress the noise from a train on the baseboards 🤣
Great intro 👍
The cork absorbs a lot of the sound but the glue stiffens a lot up to transmit it again. It would be a lot noisier if it was laid directly onto baseboard or PVA was used instead of Copydex. The cork also provides a ballast shoulder, which is sometimes prototypical.
Excellent. Very well done. Can we have some led Zeppelin as the musical interlude next time. well worth the wait.
Congrats! And I see you are working out your videoing angles for the new layout : )
One word - catenary........go on.......if you added some with your skills it would look amazing. May need some new trains though....!
Well if I needed an excuse to rip up my layout I've just found it haha Great video!
I'm glad I was patient for this
you know i just realizied that is comment on the first comment then i am at the bottom so first comment
Fantastic layout. Keep posting videos.
Looking good mate
Thanks a lot for the bulk of helpfull information - in particular the bullhead joiners and the classic track length of 60ft - what makes in 0-scale half a yard. And in 0-9 this makes really a huge difference. So your information is very very welcome. Also your weathering of the trains will be "copied" due to the industrial/rural countryside. Your videos do really made my day!
But as I cannot effort a DCC layout I have the question if the soldering of the turnouts for better connection: Is this also useable for DC?
Nice to see it packed with track! And plenty of running too ;-) Dave
Thanks Dave. It's great finally being able to run stuff again!
Thanks, some great ideas in this video. I s thinking of building a room sized layout at first but I think it would be better to start with something smaller...
Can't understand why this guy is not working for Bachmann PLC (or Hornby) ?
Why would he do that? He enjoys it as a hobby - having it as a day job would soon take the fun out of it!
tjf4375 imagine having to get up each day to "play trains" and get paid for it, sigh.
Looks like I'm back down the mine Monday lol
Ha ha aye lad, and back t'shipyard for me it is. I'm sure working for Bachmann or Hornby certainly would certainly be no picnic though, especially in the current climate. You'd be under constant pressure of deadlines, cost saving, quality control headaches, endless meetings and overtime coming out of your ears. So after a week of all that, the last thing you'd want to do is work on your model railway layout!
Out of curiosity.... I agree that big plastic boxy connectors for those "T" joints at the wiring buss connections look awful, but shouldn't you have used heat shrink tubing at those joints for corrosion prevention and short circuit protection? Sorry if you plan on that and just showed the bare joints to illustrate the point. Love the new setup, I think you'll be happy about all of the extra time you spent on sleeper placement. Will they ever make OO scale correct spacing track for all of you modelers?
Great video 👍Very informative too. Thank you 👍
For the cork. What are the dimensions, especially thickness you use?
Thanks. I enjoy watching the videos.
Hi Richard great progress made. Definitely worth doing the sleeper spacing. And your right what you say about the mix on concrete and wooden sleeper track as a driver I see it all the time. One thing that popped into my mind when you showed how close the mark3s were was the APT-E will that be able to go on the fast lines if u have say a hst running or will it just go on the slow lines as and when it's out and about? Looking forward to the next video. Cheers
Gary
Another great vid. Many thanks
I'm loving this. So much useful information. Do you think you could cover track cutting and joining (fish plates) in a bit more detail cos im having nightmares especially where curving flexitrac is concerned. Im using code 75 if that makes any difference - well im trying to anyway 😊 Cheers
Why not make the superelevation below the cork in stead of between the track and the cork? It seems you get sharper transitions when its below the track?
Need some AWS magnets for authenticity but it’s coming along well
Have you been to maplin for some cheap electronics? What do you think of the arduino and rasberry pi for model railways? What do you think of AI?
Been waiting a long time for this....Going to be a great layout. Would you not angel de edge of de cork when you cut it ? Just to give an edge as ballast where it tapers off from de edge of de track ...PS I do work on de railway and spent a good time on the Per way, actually on de ground, laying track, building cross overs, points etc...
Great video layout looks really good
Great intro too
an awesome video i enjoyed it👍 one small detail which might be cool (no idea if its possible) but wouldnt it be cool to add passengers on the train? it could add more life to the layout🙂 , looking awesome so far i am really enjoying this😁
Many of my trains have passengers fitted. They are difficult to see when running but they are there.
Such a glorious sight to see the locos roll again. How many hours in total do you think it took you to lay all the track?
The master returns!
Network southeast is red, large logo is blue. Everard Junction is back with track that’s new.
kewl video it's a shame now i have too find an other source of entertainment, wish i could erase the video from my mind and view it again
Awesome vid keep them coming
whats next for the layout ballasting or platforms ? what made you decide to use a thick cork for your track to sit on
how did you manage to get so many traffic services polybulks I have quite a few years away from the hobby sold everything then decided I wanted to do again so when they came out I wasn't looking for model railway stock but now I am trying to get them on the s/h market is crazy expensive I got two cant afford anymore
Elder scrolls 6 and a new everard junction video this weeks going quite well
Hi Richard nice video again, I have seen many methods of doing things no doubt you have also, do you ever get the the feeling that you've done a good job only to find another method that you wished you done. I soldered all my joiners to avoid bad connections with a few droppers put in but now feel dropper wires would have been neat and tidy where ever possible.
You need to be a bit cautious - search for the clickety-clack video on you-tube and your eyes will pop out.
FYI. Space between rails is the 4ft. Space between tracks is the 6ft. Space between Main and Relief is the 10ft.
unless your Irish....
Unless my Irish what?
The spacing is different in Ireland :)
Irish gauge is 5'3". This is a gauge used in Brazil, along with metre gauge. They actually call it Irish gauge. Spanish or Iberian gauge is 5' 5 and a bit". Which is why you have to change trains in Port Bou or Cerbere. SNCF being Standard. Both gauges go through the tunnel at the border but they are single track. You change on the destination side. The stock returns empty. There is gauge changing equipment in Port Bou for freight and the Trans Europe Express when it ran. I saw it once or twice in Narbonne station. Wiki says bogies are changed in Cerbere but it was in a big shed behind Port Bou station when I was last there. At La Tour de Carol in the Pyrenees, the station has 3 gauges. Iberian, Standard and Metre for Le Petite Train Jaune (The Little Yellow Train) to Perpignan. There is also a bus service to Andorra outside the station. Sorry to ramble on. Getting nostalgic.
Been following the Grenada rebuild as well. How do you find the time to do that fantastic car job as well as this? time travel?
Great work.
why don't you measure out the locations ahead of time/dry fit or using a laser level? i feel like this would also keep the track straight rather than having all these bows to it.
No updates on the mk1 Granada?
Nice to see the new layout coming along nicely . What did you use to keep the track in alignment ? Ie not kinky ! It’s not easy in my experience to keep it from going a little wonky .
While laying the track I kept looking down the line as if I was a driver. Any kinks became obvious and were corrected before I weighted the track down.
Here it is! Legendary
Excellent video Richard really gave me food for thought on what I'd like to do with my next project. I noticed your coaches were close coupled, which system do you use for this prototypical result?
The coaches you saw are bachmann mk1s & 2s. They can be close coupled straight from the box, not modifications required.
EverardJunction thanks for that, have to say makes running look amazing.
Hay I am new to the chanel and I was wondering what camera do you use?
How do you keep track clean for dcc operation when permenantly stuck down? This is a constant problem for my n gauge layout
A great video as always Richard, it's great now the layout is starting to take shape...or I could say "get on track". (*pause for laughter*)
Anyway, why DO the manufacturers make track with incorrect sleeper spacing? Is it just easier? Or cheaper, perhaps?
The HO market is bigger than the OO market presumably - same track.
+Creeping Jane ah right, thanks.
You need loads of Network Rail rubbish scattered near the cess and on the bankings.... Just a thought lol you don't want it too antiseptic
Hello,I am thinking of building a model railway,Is it expensive to start up.
Yes, in these times it can be rather expensive to get started. I was lucky, when I started 10 years ago the hobby was about 50% cheaper than what it is now. You can still find bargains but it requires some shopping around. Cheers
About time!
