New Layout Build - Additional details and structures

- In today's video I start working through some outstanding details I've been wanting to get around to for a long time. I add some much needed walling behind the tracks in the scrapyard area and finally get some water effects in the drainage pond.
I've got loads of detail projects I've been wanting to do for ages. Now I have more time look out for more videos where existing scenery is added to or improved.
I am not a railway modeller but I can appreciate the skill and attention to detail that Richard brings to his hobby - and to his technical ability to produce videos - very enjoyable to watch, thank you
Same
I agree. I tried and didn't really enjoy it as I don't have the patience but your stuff looks great and it's fun to have going in the background. Keep it up.
An absolute masterpiece. I am sure I am not the only one who looks forward to the notification of a new video and keenly watches your progress. Only shame is that it can never leave your loft, would be amazing to see your work at an exhibition.
I am so impressed with your model. I am an ex BR employee ( 1965/2000 ) and drove electric trains on inner suburban london lines and recognise most of everything you have. Its the little bits like the familiar weeds that grow all over or the displaced troughing covers. We always laughed about knowing you were getting nearer to London as the graffitti and rubbish got closer together. Also the extraneous junk laying about near and on the tracks.👍
Amazing how the retaining wall has improved the background proper.
Plus you can nearly hear the frogs
I really love that vibe with the litter and graffiti! I think it would be great to see old ASDA trolleys and stollen bicycles dumped in that drainage pond!
Or in the canal.
I have some bikes, trolleys and extra litter for that bit. Certainly looks a bit too clean there at the moment. Cheers
I have to say, I've been enjoying this channel for a few years, and I still love every update and am so glad you continue to provide us with instruction, inspiration, and entertainment. Thank you, good sir!
Thanks for following me all this time! It's been a pleasure to mess about with model railways for this long. Cheers
An extremely relaxing viewing. No problem about waiting for glue to dry, gives time for tea and cake. With all these modern materials and scenic items this side of the hobby becomes really addictive. The water really brought that section alive. Carry on the good work
An early finish from work, lovely roast dinner and an Everard Junction video - a perfect Sunday 👍
The layout is looking amazing.
👍👍👍👍👍
I think we'll have to call that fella in the flats 'Balcony Bloke' :) He's certainly got the best view in the house. Thanks for another great video.
Balcony Bert? Did he move to a different balcony at one point, or was that my imagination?
Sehr authentisch👍die neue Mauer, der kleine Kanal perfekt gestaltet.Der Schrottplatz ist auch super gestaltet 😀 sehr interessante Anlage.Thanks.
If I might make a suggestion, dip the newspapers in a little tea or something to make them more brown like newsprint gets when it ages. Anyway, great work. You've got much more dedication than I do. It would take me decades to do what you get done in a few months.
Good idea! I'll give that a try, cheers.
Haha, you got your reflection in the murky water then.😁 There's some excellent new camera angles there Richard. The close-ups of the urban railway are very effective.👍👌😁
I'm not a railway modeller but the scene just takes me back to my days going up and down to Charing Cross from Orpington in the 1970's. Most of the commuters would have their head in their newspapers but I would be fascinated by the little scrap yards and graffiti that flashed by. Keep up the great work...so that I can just watch..
Cheers John, glad it brought back some memories. I'm the same when travelling by train. Always interested in the details that flash past.
Hello Richard, Oh to have such a steady hand, one of the benefits of youth I guess. As "hellooo" below said your videos can never be too long and I agree because the amount of interest you manage to include in each video makes them so enjoyable to watch. Thanks heaps Richard. Cheers Greg
Thanks Greg, glad you enjoyed it. I've always been blessed with a steady hand. Long may it continue! Cheers
This video highlights that the small details are just as important as the big ones. Amazing layout
Perfect viewing for a Sunday evening, love how the layout has been coming together since the restart
Adding layers of detail can only improve a layout, that is given Richards amazing skill level!
I always did like the attention to detail on the old layout. The new retaining walls, cable troffs and mixed ballast really bring out that slightly run down look of Britain's railways in the 80s and early 90s.
The Devil is in the Details. I'm not a model railroader but I love watching your vids as they keep me inspired to constantly improve my modeling by paying such close attention to what some might consider inconsequential small detail. The beauty of such details is the life they impart to the project. Outstanding work and a pleasure to see the progress of the model.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!
The tiny newspapers are a marvelous touch!
The new road surface looks a lot better than did the photo paper.
This is probably the most realistic layout I've seen fro the ones I've watched on TH-cam.
I bet it looks stunning in real life...
Mouldy Raspberry's Yorkshire Dales layout, whilst very different, is excellent too, with similar imagination and attention to detail. Both he and Richard are inspiring modellers.

@@speleokeir It's funny you should leave this comment, I only read your reply today as TH-cam seems not to notify me anymore of replies.
Only last night 22nd May, did I get recommended a Mouldy Raspberry video. It was a part 2 of a layout. Brilliant detailing and I subscribed and left a comment. You are right, he also is very impressive with what he does.
The newspapers as litter beside the track, absolultely brillant
Arguably one of the best detailed layouts currently on TH-cam!
the presentation of your videos just gets better. always impressed with your skill Richard, thanks for doing these updates
"One of the worst bits of the hobby... you spend half of your life waiting for things to dry." That is so true! 🤣🤣🤣
That’s my Sunday evening sorted, thank you so much 🤗🤗🤗🤗
In my opinion Everard Junction is the most realistic model railway on TH-cam, well done 👏
Nice to see you back on form again Richard, great video as usual. Keep it up, you inspire people like me. Cheers Graham 👍
Thanks Graham, glad you enjoyed it!
I am green of envy! I built Airfix models when I was a kid, 50 years ago, and the all looked like they had crashed in to a glue pit. Amazing layout and I have spent the last couple of days watching this channel, almost NON STOP
Your attention to detail is, as always, fantastic. Run your trains late, maybe, or offer a bus connection service to complete a journey... or simply cancel your trains all together to complete that 80’s feel. 👍🏼
Plenty done even the little bits make a difference. Can't beat a drop of resin in those soakaway areas, makes a huge difference.
Just brilliant. Award winning skill my man. I'm actually back in the 80s everything I see your layout. They were great times to live . Great work.
Great video as always. Have you thought of adding some advertising billboards? Very common in the 80s until cigarette advertising was banned.
Yes, the layout is very much lacking in advertising boards at the moment. I'll be adding plenty of it in future. Cheers
@@EverardJunction Really enjoying your channel and attention to detail. Very atmospheric.
Once again a modelling masterclass That retaining wall looks as its been there all along. Brilliant blending with the existing scenery and a nice tutorial on the retaining wall.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Richard. This really is looking stunning. One would have to say you have a natural gift for this. Thanks for sharing, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Cheers, Bob
Brilliant Richard! All the touches you have achieved have brought further realism to this wonderful layout. Well done. Iain
The attention to every last minute detail is why I love this layout so much. As a fellow modeller, I can appreciate the time, effort and thought that is going into Everard Junction....oh! and it's 80s too. My era!
That retaining wall looks mint ... it's all about the details ... good job ...
OMG, at the last, the train reflecting in the water is great...
Cracking video, plenty of ideas there for my own scenery improvement, thanks
Hi Richard thanks for sharing an interesting and enjoyable packed detailed video (PS never too long). Always a pleasure to watch your clips looking forward to the next, take care and please stay safe..
You see lots of model railways but not alot have as much detail as your .... keep going with the fantastic work
Fabulous video. That water around the drain and in the ditch looks superb and finishes that area beautifully. The retaining walls are excellent and the detail around the area just completes the effect. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills with us, it gives us something to aspire to. Roy.
Thanks, Richard for a Great update...Excellent Work and Thanks for sharing your skills with us all ..👍👍..Tony.. 🇦🇺
Great work. On the litter front a concentration at a signal that would regularly hold a train is a good touch. Approach to haymarket from Slateford is one I know of where drivers have made sure there's coffee cups ballasting the cess.
Good idea. When I add some graffiti to the wall I'll see about adding some extra litter. Cheers
All coming together really good now Richard another great video looking forward to the next one 👍
Yet again an inspiring video if I can get anywhere near as real as that I will be well pleased.
Thank you for another demonstration of your genius level modelling skills. A pleasure to behold and a benchmark for others like myself to aim for.
Balcony Toby non stop trainspotting and keeping an eye on the progress :)
What is there not to like about this video.... as always I am Amazed with the attention to detail and the artistic styling of every little detail. Wonderful stuff. Too Long..... rubbish, its never long enough and you did get some reflection in your standing water.
I've been a follower for a few years now. I admire your enthusiasm and attention to detail. Thank you. Its always a joy to see a video crop up on my timeline. Join? What join? Loved the water. Excellent.
It is an absolute education watching you working on your layout. These videos from yourself and others are such a great help to me just starting out in the hobby,at 56 😬
The production value of your vids has gone thru the roof! Your new job has been good for you!
Cheers. It's very nice having a little bit more time away from work!
I'm amazed more and more, every time I watch a video of yours, you are truly gifted with an eye for detail. AMAZING... It is like you have shrunk the real world..
Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it.
Wonderful attention to detail it really makes the layout come "Alive". Loved the discarded newspapers. It's really taking off now it's a layout that you can keep working on for a few years yet I suspect.
did not fully appreciate the sleeper spacing until now - looks so much more realistic with what you have undertaken.
i don't find the videos too long at all.
Evening Richard. Well worth waiting for. That dirty water looks absolutely fantastic 👍🏻 Short video concept is really good as you’ve packed lots in with good tips 😀
I am a relative newcomer to Roket glue myself. Can't believe the time it has saved me already.
Your attention to detail and the time and effort you put in to your layout is really paying off. Really good video work and editing too. I loved the ending with the reflection of the passing trains in the pond water, before panning up to the actual loco and wagons. Nice touch.
Maybe some railing along the towpath under the tunnel.
congrats for a great job.
And thanks for sharing your videos.
Quite liked the look of a bit of greenery (a bit, not all of it) on top of the coping stones on the retaining wall around the relay boxes: you do get mosses and even small plants growing on stone/concrete tops like that. That litter must be one of the best products SMS do!
Brilliantly explained video again, love watching these can`t wait for the next one!
Great work. Maybe some green moss on the walls. Burnt out car, phone poles, shopping trolleys in the ditch, definitely graffiti.
What a great look and feel Everard Junction has. Most interesting to be let into the thoughts and skills behind the construction. Lovely camera work in the intro. Wouldn't want to live in the bottom 2 stories of the block of flats, though. Congratulations and thanks for posting.
Rich, a Nuclear ower bo thanks! sticker on one of the concrete bridges is an idea, there is one on the up side bridge over the A120 that has been there decades, great work as usual
I love your reflective stagnant water.
Always amazed at how much effort you put in. Perhaps a saving would be to leave a couple of buildings as contstion sites.
Two EJ videos in a week! What a treat for a bank holiday. As always it’s really well produced, interesting and fab to watch.
Really, really nice work. Your continued attention to detail is amazing. Great video!! Thanks for sharing and stay safe. Cheers - Larry.
Like all the cable trunking with the lids off like in real life 👍
That music...like a late 80s sitcom
Its always the small details that bring a layout layout life, and yours is no exception Richard, what stunning detail. Wish I was as good scenic modeller as you were. Keep up the good work and stay safe
James
The detail is fantastic. It's just a shame that the model vehicle makers can't pay as much attention to detail and provide a simple button to turn off the tail lights when coupling a loco to a train. In the rail industry (in Britain anyway) a tail light indicates "train complete." A very important part of the operating procedure. Signalmen in the old manual boxes would ALWAYS stop a train if the driver had forgotten to turn off the loco tail lights (or the intermediate tail lights on two coupled Units.) For me, as a former footplate man of 30+ years, it spoils not just Richard's layout but the many other splendid layouts on view around TH-cam.
@@cyberdonblue4413 It bugs me as well I have a few locos that have a switch underneath to turn them off but with DCC it should not be a problem for them to make a switchable function Another idiotic thing is locos with the leading cab light on. No way a driver would do that.
@@cyberdonblue4413 Very annoying with my Hornby locos. The other manufacturers have such a feature and I make use of it. Hornby have been lagging behind the dcc features for some time time now.
Thanks James, glad you enjoyed it.
Fantastic! great and interesting tips, amazing layout full credit to you many thanks.
It's looking amazing! Just missing random tonne bags of ballast and lengths of rail just left to the side
Plenty more details to add in future. Cheers!
hi. i simply admire your patience and attention to detail. brilliant layout and scenery
The bridges need pigeons! Seriously though, just superb modelling.
Wow simply Amazing the layout keeps getting better and better each video well done 👍
I am supposed to be renovating my Audi A6 Allroad C5 2002, in my yard, but decided to have a little look at your video - but became 'hooked', 'mesmerised' even, and forgot about doing my car . !
Your excellent video presentations and the soundtrack you use are dangerously addictive, from someone who is an amateur film maker (currently nursing a nasty trapped nerve in his back!).
I am thinking will I have time to produce and edit films, renovate my car and become a railway modeller, all at the same time! Richard - you are a master at railway modelling!
Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it, more vids on the way.
It’s so beautiful! You’re a great builder and artist.
Great work. 🚂
Thanks so much for sharing. 😎👌🏼
Here’s a tip you could try in the future for sculptamold, if you put it to a zip lock plastic bag and cut off the corner you can use it like a cake piping bag.😉
you are doing GREAT JOB but what worry's me the most is what happens when you finish the build i cant see you just sitting watching the trains go around the big fun for you is the build hope you have more space where you can start another keep up the work and i hope it takes you a couple of years more to finish
Great job,love the wall and your scenery.
Wow... spoiling us, RIchard, sir! Two videos in about a week! As redundantly repetitive as it may be, you work is first rate and so very impressive! I love the attention to detail and the little additions. The water certainly looks right. The only thing missing (aha) are the take away foam cups and stuff one sees where you were adding the trash. (just kidding, great work!)
There are some cups/cans on the litter sheet. They're so small its not worth bothering with haha! Cheers, glad you enjoyed it.
Looking amazing mate thankyou for the video
Richard, what can I say that i havent already said. Amazing what those little touches just add. Absolutely phenomenal. However some magazines that used to float around near tracksides, especially if you were standing track side, outside depots or yards, werent always of a red top nature.
Good update that. I like the scenery construction videos 👌🏼
Wonderful, relaxing video to watch and amazing attention to detail as always. I hope that you're still enjoying driving your Granada. Regards, Paul.
Thanks for the update. . Great work
Worth the wait....excellent update and video....shows focus and dedication to this enthralling hobby
Amazing work as usual! Love it Richard.
Hi have watched all of your videos since the beginning and your attention to detail is awesome but as a drainlayer you have made a mistake on the instal of the drainage pipe in the hill it would have a concrete pad under the pipe to prevent erosion from the water undermining the wall and the wing walls would be extended out further to prevent the hill from being washed out
Otherwise brilliant work
As always - brilliant!! Enough said!!
Thanks for the video buddy. All the new additions look great.
This is wonderful.
It's the little things that make the difference
Amazing detail. And patience!!!
Your scenery is fantastic! Love it.
You probably already have plans for the corner of the layout between the line and the backdrop, but, if not, a gasometer might fit quite well.
More videos like this one, please.
