    Just so enjoy watching people using expandable foam for the first time. Whatever logic they try to apply, you know exactly what is going to happen and it’s not what they expect!

    absolutely hilarious , good thing you have a sense of humour 🤣🤣, but I think you need to expose the top of the tunnel, as that actually tells the story of what is happening... my two cents worth 😁.... great episode

    Thanks Julian, that was the best Sunday morning laugh I've had in ages... I bet everyone who's used that stuff was screaming "No, enough! Stop!!" at their screen as you merrily continued to squirt on the entire container...
    btw I think you can pick up spare nozzle/tubes in-store so that you don't have to worry about blockages, at least in Wickes's in the UK. Or you can poke through with a knitting needle or similar to clean the tube once you've finished.
    Looking forward to the rest of the build. Cheers, Nick

    Catesbury tunnel is in Northamptonshire on what was the Great Central Railway. There is a good description of its present use on the Internet, where your picture probably came from. As a matter of interest, a backfilled cutting and bridge portals were "unfilled" when they extended the Bluebell Railway to East Grinstead some time ago. Great video, that just shows how strong your original construction was!

    Julian, interesting video. implanting the new tunnel portal at a different angle seems much more natural - the curve off the point would have been a bigger radius. As to re-using the foam trigger and tube again, in the past I have been able to clean them out once the foam is well set as the foam doesn't stick to the tube or trigger.

    Even modelling the dynamic railway traits of track removal and infrastructure change! Probably makes it even more realistic as in real life they leave remains and build over the old with all the scars that involves. They don't rebuild hills and entire stations just to add a small piece of platform.

  • @andrewstevenson5449

    Looked brilliant once you removed the bridge, but I have to say I'm not sure about filling in the whole of that cutting. I've never used that expanding foam, so interesting to see how uncontrollable it is!

    Well done, Julian. You're a brave man carving up your previous work, but you're right it will look better and more interesting. With regards to the expanding foam, over here in England, you can actually buy spare nozzles when you buy a large foam, or the other way is to remove the nozzle, let it dry then break it out with a screwdriver and drills, yes ok so I'm a penny pincher!. At least you'll be wiser and know next time, as I'm sure you have more destructive/improvement ideas planned!. A really enjoyable TH-cam channel, Lawrence.

    Eyup Jules, looks good so far
    But a brief word about platform length - in the 'real world' trains were and are often 'too long' for some platforms, not just halts either!
    Wasn't uncommon to see two or three coaches "hanging out the back" of the station - or, signals permitting, the loco out of the platform - especially on a branch line.
    This is something I've purposely built into one of my stations, it's only big enough for two coaches, by design!
    BUT
    You seem to have a good plan in place mate, look forward to the development!
    Cheers!

    It’s been a while, but worth it just for the comedy value. I still don’t quite understand why you covered up the old portal with a new one when it was then covered in comedy foam?

  • @ngaugefouroaksstreetstatio6932

    Very interesting Julian, i think i would have totally eliminated that branch including the tunnel mouth and buttresses and the track remnants so no trace at all, but that's just my opinion. Extending the platform is a great idea.

    but having lived through my now thirty-something nephew's childhood and the replaying of Henry refusing to leave the tunnel ad infinitum it might've been interesting to see the tunnel portal with a green engine lurking behind a red-brick wall. You could've used a spare engine body to avoid wasting a working engine.

    This is going to look good. The expanding foam was 😂😂. Are you going to try to clean up that fence to the left of the foam? It’s going to be tricky. I think using this stuff instead of XPS would be very expensive. Looking forward to the next installment.

  • @wamgoc

    Hi Julian, interesting video this morning. Not sure I’ve seen portals completely filled in like this? They tend to be bricked up with a steel door in to allow inspection! Moving that much earth in would be very expensive and if the tunnel eventually needed removing, heavy machinery wouldn’t be able to get to it! I’ve seen tunnels filled in inside then bricked up!
    There’s a UTube channel of a guy walking the old disused lines, tunnels and bridges in the Nottingham area of UK, that may be of interest.
    Great fun with the expanding foam!!😅😅😅

    Being serious, its a great idea expanding the station and indeed replacing the buildings, gonna be fantastic especially as you can scratch build them how you want. Any particular station for inspiration?😊

    Hi Julian. Sorry, but I don't understand the philosophy of what you're trying to achieve with the expanding foam. Perhaps it will become clearer when you come back to it. At the moment, it looks as though there has been an avalanche (snow, or soil?). In a real-life situation, I would have expected the project to have been completed at the blocking of the tunnel portal.

    Why on earth did you go to all the trouble if covering the whole of the new tunnel mouth with blue brick, only to hide 98% of it with expanding foam??? What was the point??? Why waste not only material but also yiur time making sure it looked good them hide it? Total waste of yiur time, no logic, but absolutely hilarious - so ridiculous, I simply cannot see the logic - that's like repainting the outside of your house and then pitting on cladding!
    I really don't think you thought this through! But keep at it.......
