I really do love your "I'll give it a go and see what happens" type attitude. Gives me more confidence when I eventually start modelling, loft is still in conversion stage, because whatever you do just works. It's great viewing.
Nice to see it all taking shape. I have a lot of old stock and usually use old plastic wheels which I've replaced painted up for things like this. Also I really can't hack those preformed paths, they always seem too up and down if you know what I mean. I tend to use plaster with formers to make them whenever I need to. Great video as usual.
The scale model scenery products looks great, I've got a massive list of stuff to buy from them, the scene looks good, your attention to detail is really good
Hi Richard. Little tip for building the SMS Kits. If you go to Poundland, they sell 100 Crayola wooden craft sticks for £1 and I have found these excellent for bracing the corners and floors of the kits to increase stability.
Great video! Looks the part now, will watch this back agian while im doing my station scenics, ordering the cork over the weekend so hopefully i will be here next week to go down and then just need the track cheers Beeton Hough Junction (Dave C)
Great work as always you have frozen time again so well love the speed signs from railway scenery will get some myself the signs look good as well on the card .as alway a like from me from John from rugby. Tony's trains is my holy grotto.
Thank you for the excellent video again richard. Those details even so small are just adding so much depth to the layout as a whole. I Have thought about how to weather up the portacaibin even more, the wash/come gel that you used, try to run streaks of it down the roof, the tops of those always look filthy and especially if its in a dank area.
Good work as always, The good thing about keeping all your signs is even though our layouts are set in different time periods signs do change over the years, So looking back in our old stock we get to keep we have original signs & not some new reproduction ones, I have signs going back to the 1990's when they first started to come out on the modelling scene, they were the correct signs of the day but now look dated by todays standards. , Happy modelling from Appleby linc's……...
Looks brilliant Richard. Can I advise that the Stop Boards are for drivers not for walking routes. They are in situ for a signal. i.e will say normally Stop and telephone signaller. So you treat it as a stop signal and do not pass till you have been authorised by the signaller. Couldn't read what was on your stop board.
Just one other point: when I make up the cardboard huts & porta cabins I wrap them around a piece of wood, That way they are a little heavier & they don't warp or bend inwards, Try using balsa wood, Its works for me!...……..
It is now another point of interest on your layout. Nicely made Richard. I am using an acrylic matt lacquer as matt varnish here is way to expensive. I have looked it up and they say there is not much difference between the two. What do you think? I have to use something, because of the humitate here.
Can I offer my experience of varnishes, if you don't mind? I use a matt spray varnish from an aerosol. GhIant I think the brand. I good misting of that deals all the print in, making it repel the water!.. I do this before installing the card structure, or even before assembling them. You can do it when the structure is in place....just use plastic sheeting or card to cover the surrounding area. That what I did with the walls that run along the back of Dean Park station. Hope that gives you another route to consider. Cheers
looking great! some good detail! I don’t know if its just the camera, but for some realistic detail the stencil speed indicators look very tall, as tall as the roof of the portacabin? they are normally at or just above buffer beam level on the train. the moss work also is decent but what about that shines clean roof! look forward to the next update!
Love the detailing, really convincing. Only one thing troubles me, how do vehicles access the site? The gates only allow for pedestrian access as far as I can see. Why not open up the fence at the far end to provide road access and then add a rough track as you mentioned? Just a thought. Great work as always. Love it!
Great video, it's coming along well, the SMS ' walkway you used, does it have an adhesive back to it , or did you apply rocket card glue to stick each slab down? Thanks
Thank you for sharing this fantastic how to video like always I look forward to seeing what you do next I even like how you added to touches to the van if your TH-cam channel logo that is pretty cool but I do have one question where is the van come from if both ends of the fence are blocked off maybe you can paint inside one of those indentions black on your backdrop
I'm assuming the access is behind the buffer stops, through the double gates... although with a Track Centre of 10 ft 8.5 in (3.26 m) in the UK. I'm not sure there would be enough room to get past the buffers in reality??
looks very smart richard progress is smooth as silk on your end i see and as a change from the point leading to nowhere question got any ideas for that unused space above the retaining walls??
Did they have signals like that on the railways? Surely a modeller of your calibre would have sorted that before filming. As for the concrete walk-way. Let's hope your roof doesn't spring a leak. The slightest gust of wind will blow that away. Some initial work on removing some ballast, then laying the walk-way and then re-ballasting to the same level would have made it so much more realistic. Quite surprised at the shoddiness of the work undertaken. It may well be worth re-addressing that later, it will be worth it in the long run.
lol just testing lol.love the vids by the way, and your reviews and visit to hattons.been watching quite a few . if you don't mind me asking how much were the light trailers you fitted on your track repair section ...cheers for the reply .
cheers matey... just been looking at some more of your vids , keep it up there very informative . even after modelling [railways] for more than 30 years I still learn new stuff from the likes of your vids .if I see you at a model ail show I will buy you a cuppa and a cake lol

Nice work, good to see you getting stuck in and trying things out. Paid off too, nice little scene you've got there. Cheers
Cheers Richard, getting the practice in now! ;-)
I really do love your "I'll give it a go and see what happens" type attitude. Gives me more confidence when I eventually start modelling, loft is still in conversion stage, because whatever you do just works. It's great viewing.
Not everything makes it to video haha but your right, its a hobby and we can get it right forever but wrong once! ;)
Dad always said 'the devil's in the details' - the scene is really coming to life Richard, looks great so far! Best, John
Thanks John, I'm happy with it!
Great job and beautiful scenery!
Fantastic update for New Junction.
Thanks!
That looks great Richard mate and am slowly getting back to the hobby after months off its time to enjoy this hobby again cheers Paul
Hey up Paul! Take your time mate, its a hobby not a job!
I quite simply think this looks fantastic!
Very kind of you to say Pete!
Looks great that pal, the details really bring it to life!
Cheers Pal!
Just catching up. What a great way to deal with an awkward space!
Was really sceptical about the green wash at first but that under the turf gives a really nice effect. Great job
Had to give it a go! :-)
THE MAN OF MANY TALENTS! great job Richard!
Very kind, it's all for camera lol thanks!
@@NewJunction Oh Sure!
Another great how to video cheers Richard another enjoyable watch 👍🏻
Your welcome Gareth, thanks for the comment!
Hi Richard. Great job with the scenic and the compound it's looking really good. Regards George....
Thanks George!
Brilliant Richard keep up the great work
Thanks!
Great video, detail really adds to a layout. Keep up the great work.
Thanks as always!
Good progress Richard, it’s a good looking scenic area now 👍
Thanks Bob!

Never seen a ladder bow like that on the signal light I hope I never have to climb it other than that great stuff
Ha! You've never seen me up a ladder... ;-)
Looking really good mate cannot wait to see for real
Thanks pal!
Looking very nice, well done.
Thanks
Another Great Video Richard, Looks Fantastic
Thanks James!
I've been curious as to what you would put in there. You definitely popped that area. Nice work as always. 👍
Getting there slowly Anthony!
Very finely done
Thank you!
Amazing detail!! 😲 keep up the great work! 💯💯💯
Thanks Dan!

Starting to look really good mate. Giving me some good inspiration for my layout cheers
Hopefully, it's all good fun
Good job done Richard, it's surprising how it all comes together after some painting and additional items.
Cheers
Geoff
Thanks Geoff, your not wrong, nice to start to fill in the base board to be honest.
Awesome scene Richard!!! Well done!! Cheers Onno.
Thanks Onno!
Well that came together pretty quickly, looks really good too. I subscribed.
All the best Darren
Thanks Darren, good to have you on board!
Gosh, watching you build that port-a-cabin took me back about 5 years to primary school when we'd make cubes in maths! 😂
Great video!
Yep, we've all been there!
Looking great Richard, gave me some ideas on some scenery around the TMD 👍
Great stuff!
Great video! Looks the part now, will watch this back agian while im doing my station scenics, ordering the cork over the weekend so hopefully i will be here next week to go down and then just need the track cheers Beeton Hough Junction (Dave C)

Your right, I need to update them with 'stop look listen' types really. Just a bit odd facing a line on the mainline.
Normally on fright sidings etc or depots for releasing locos/units.
Love your layout,keep it up :)
Thanks Anders

A new New Junction video! Time to play 'how many times will Richard say "literally" in this video'!
If your not smashed after a New Junction drinking game.... are you even watching! ;-)

I have looked it up and they say there is not much difference between the two. What do you think? I have to use something, because of the humitate here.
Can't see why it would be an issue, it's worth testing it before covering important areas on your layout.
Can I offer my experience of varnishes, if you don't mind? I use a matt spray varnish from an aerosol. GhIant I think the brand.

That's the ultimate question, There is another gate. I'll high light it on the next episode.
Will have to watch later Richard, but reckon its gonna look good.
Assuming its a good video works for me haha cheers Paul!
@@NewJunction never watched a bad one yet.
@@paularmstrong4546 theres still time lol
@@NewJunction ha ha only if you pull up the layout. Now that would be a bad video.
How did the Van get in? Haha. Great work Rich.
First : Nice job! but technically i have a problem... how the car goes over there, on the other side of fence?
I'm assuming the access is behind the buffer stops, through the double gates... although with a Track Centre of 10 ft 8.5 in (3.26 m) in the UK. I'm not sure there would be enough room to get past the buffers in reality??
Theres another gate. ;-)
@@NewJunction hahaha waiting to see that. I hope you table turns into a little pièce of art.
2:53 - other gate at far end @@psamaury
that ladder looks a challenge to climb lol
Will the station signals eventually be working signals and great work on the sidings
I'm hopefully doing just that tonight, I do tend to put of electrics haha
Would the porta cabin have any vegetation growing over the corner the is covered in moss?
Yes lol
Question, how does the van get in and out , it seems to be trapped in.
looks very smart richard progress is smooth as silk on your end i see and as a change from the point leading to nowhere question got any ideas for that unused space above the retaining walls??
Eventually when I'm feeling brave enough I'd like to add a town scene.
@@NewJunction beats my idea of a motorway
@@upwellonwards7373 I'd like one somewhere
@@NewJunction no doubt heading towards your impressive station

Don't be surprised, I'm not an expert! It would be good to see a video or two or your modelling abilities to learn from! :-)
If only I could son. Restricted mobility and living off a pension does not allow me the luxury of having a model railway but I enjoy watching them.
That's a shame, you'll have to try to enjoy my shoddy work as a second best option!
Looking good, did you finish the platform canopy?..
Not yet, I'm working on it behind the scenes. :-)
A portaloo would be a great edition to the scene
Good idea, I'll look into that.
Why don’t you use one of the speed restriction signs on the heritage line?
I will!
Hi, very nice, could you tell me the maker of security fence please..thanks
Hi, it's a Wills kit fence.
@@NewJunction thanks
in places like the alcoves use a straw and gentle blow it into the recesses ...for gods sake don't suck ...it works try it
Where did you get the van made to have new junction om
Was a custom job done by Leigh models & Hobbies. :-)
Class.
Detail ideas, a scum rimmed puddle on the roof with a pizza box.
Every Porto cabin I've ever seen has a pizza box on the roof.
Weird.
It definitely needs something. :-D
The top of the portacabin looks a bit shiny!
sms make some of the best detailing kits available
I agree
What ballast do you use
Woodland scenics medium and fine grey
Now you just need the crane that lowers the van over the wall.
Chinook in this case lol
Looking great but how dose the van get in hahaha
There are two gates on the track, I'll highlight them on the next video lol
how did the van get into the compound ?
The other gate

How about an abandoned line overgrown with a dirty old carriage on it hidden away on a once through line
I'm toting with the idea of doing that for one of the sidings
Cool but that walkway path looks way too long - in my opinion.
Please fix the path. Love the videos, but please fix the path.
Fixed it, the layout is no more haha
