    When he said that the colour scheme is modelled after Pyramid Hill station, I jumped up from my chair! I came from that very small town and used to wait in that station to take the train coming from Swan Hill to Bendigo and Melbourne. My family still lives there. Dude, I never thought I would see or hear Pyramid Hill mentioned anywhere. Brought back so many memories of my early life in Australia. Thanks Luke for this awesome video! Cheers mate.

    Your attention to detail truly sets you apart, excellent work👍 A trick I learned for working with laser cut wood (any wood really), is to give it a light coat, or two, of a lacquer clear coat followed by a wipe, with some fine steel wool. The clear coat seals the wood and the steel wool removes any fuzz, making subsequent painting easy.

    Fantastic tutorial, and model, Luke! I'm really glad to see the Victorian, and V/Line, theme come back :) You've really captured a typical Victorian Railways country station beautifully. And I love the way you've done the track; a few years ago I was looking at, along with a friend, using hand laid code 55 rail with timber sleepers and etched plates/spikes. But the amount of work needed meant I just stuck with peco code 75 instead... I'll definitely need to look at this method for a planned layout though! And you've made me want to get back onto the scenery for my current Victorian branchline layout :)
    It's also great to see a few Aussie brands coming up. SMS is doing great work with their paints, powders, and other items (I absolutely love their sprue cutters!). Hopefully more people pick up their products.
    I'm not sure if you've come across them, but there's some nice ballast products from Matts Ballast, and Chucks Ballast. Both make great range of ballasts to represent ballast from various quarry locations. You'd be amazed at what we successfully used for ballast in Victoria (loco ash was common; we even had a few branchlines that are recorded as 'sand ballast'...).

      yeah it worked just right! It would be very cool to do a switching video following the train like that, unfortunately I don't have a switching yard to try it but I imagine you could do something like that on your layout very effectively 😉

    Absolutely incredible work, as always. The only thing I can think of to add is discarded railroad spikes. I grew up walking up and down the train tracks behind my house and there were always rusty old spikes lying about all over the place - especially anywhere that old rails were still lying by the side of the tracks.

    Well, hello, again, Mr. Towan! After gaping in abject awe at the photo-realistic visuals of your diorama here, I could see when I saw your name why it somehow seemed so familiar. I have been viewing several videos on the better-quality works.
    Watching you work as you explain to your viewers each step of your various œuvres was so extraordinary I found it genuinely entertaining, as well as engagingly educational! I personally prefer 1:25th-scale-as you know is close to G gauge, which would fit well with the many cars, trucks (lorries and articulated vehicles?), aircraft (I have seen round a dozen), etc., in the field of plastic scale model assembly kits.
    I recently saw a video depicting a man creating out of metal an accurate replica in 1:25th-scale of the original United Starship Enterprise, NCC-1701 in the original 1960s television series Star Trek (Paramount/NBC)-all 288.6456 metres (947 feet) of it! (I wonder how he intends to carry it out the front door!)
