New Layout Build - Adding details and expanding the scrap yard
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ธ.ค. 2024
- I really enjoyed building the scrap yard last year. In this video I decide to increase the size which then allows for adding lots more details.
Next video will focus on some changes to the town scene. I'm making several changes to that so it will take me a few weeks as usual to get that one put together. Cheers
I purchased quite a few kits, details and materials in this video. Manufacturers are listed below...
Scale Model Scenery - Various items such as stillage bins and skips
Juweela - Tyres, engines, oil barrels and general scrap
Goodwood Scenics - Corrugated fence, I beams and various scatter materials
Wills kits - Retaining wall
Oxford Diecast - Cars
Javis - Scatter materials
Woodland scenics - Scatter materials
Deluxe materials - Glues
Vallejo - Matt acrylic paints
I'm not a model railway-er or a modeller in general, but as someone who grew up in the 80s in a Network Southeast area, damn, I love these videos.
Cheers, glad it brought back some memories. More 80s stuff on the way!
@@EverardJunction Maybe somewhere on your layout, there should be a reference to ‘A Fish Called Wanda’ as that movie was released by the time your layout is set.
I am Norwegian, but went to school in Canterbury in 1984-85 and I clearly remember the cityscape from that time. Like Oslo, there was a lot of concrete from the 60s and 70s as well as reuse of relatively dilapidated areas (though not so much in Canterbury). I lived in a working-class neighborhood opposite the western train station. There was a lot of activity at the switch tracks and you could clearly hear and see the trains coming and going around the clock. It was charming in its own way and very corresponding to the general mood in Britain at the time. However, the people were nice and I was doing very well in the south east of England. The layout has great scenes that bring back memories of adolescence. I do not have such a layout myself, but am a big fan and follow with interest. Trains in general, however, are a big passion for me and also why I found this great channel.
@@EverardJunction Same here i love the scrapyard reminds me of my uncles scrapyard austin cambridge was my fav in the yard
Attention to detail is awesome. Love the scene. I used to build recovery Beaver tail wagons. Don't know if available in model form but would look great with a battered old car on it being delivered. Looking forward to the next one.
Really enjoyed your videos 👍
I always love to see Everard Junction pop up in my notifications :D
Hubby and I have been watching the new layout series for a wee while now, and really enjoying it! We are in new Zealand! Was thinking of a few things on your layout... Maybe hide a homeless person under some trees, specifically in the empty lot by the office block.... It'll need a tarp or something,, little fire...shopping trolley.. Etc.
Enjoying this series a lot... Oh and here in nz, we own a couple of Austin 3litres! So hubby was interested to hear your job, plus seeing the cars on your layout! .
Not a modeller at all, but I find this fascinating and the level of detail amazing. As a child of the 80’s born in Reading, this is brilliant!
Me either but I love to watch these videos, the attention to detail is awesome. I'm convinced these modellers have a different level of patience to most folk.
Cheers, if EJ was real it would have been a few miles up the road from your house! Thanks for watching.
Sorry to hear you were born in reading hope you recover from that trauma
Takes me back, to afford motoring in the 70’s, one had to spend Saturdays roaming scrapyards for second hand spares to keep your old banger on the road.
Yep, and opening your toolbox on the way out.....!
Used to spend hours climbing over the old vehicles looking for some nice pieces - they won't let you do it now!
Very nostalgic, took me back to the days when you were allowed to roam the scrapyard. 4 cars high taking a Sierra dash out to upgrade mine to have a revometer. Good times thanks
funny how you always needed a crap once you had dirty hands and were halfway through pulling your 'bit' off.
OMG! There are no adequate words . . . I just found your channel and I want to learn how to do EVERYTHING you do!!!!!! Kudos, fantastic project!!!!!!!
Better the cars in your yard than in the canal, you need a shopping trolley or two. Love the mud. Whenever i've been in junkyards theres always mud and puddles and a few weeds round odd patches. There are times when watching i have to remind myself its a diorama and not real life. 👍👍👍
You need some merch saying "just creates a little bit of interest"
^^^ THIS!
defiantly
Agreed, almost a tag line there... Everard Junction - "Creating that little bit of interest"
What a great Idea
I might get more dates if I wore that on a shirt.
Oh, the nostalgia of the scrapyard! My mates and I haunted these places looking for ideas to upgrade and customise our old runabouts. Great days!
You've created a world that I would like to explore in real life, clearly you have an eye for detail and a skill for modelling. I am extremely impressed.
Found your channel at Christmas whilst at home off work. Like yourself I restore classic cars and am a keen railway modeller. Dismantled my last layout about 4 years ago and everything put into original boxes etc and stored away. I’m getting enthusiasm to start a new build...................largely thanks to you. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
This is by far the best model railway channel. Most amusing
The muddy wheel tracks are genius. Great scene.
Now THAT'S bravery! Ripping out a perfectly good and expensive water feature and recreating it 150mm away. Then buying/making a hundred plus more scrapyard pieces, and building it all. Between what was ripped out or covered, and what was added, that's more than my annual layout budget... plus Ramen dinners for 6 months! Turned out nice, though.
The previous canal was a modular piece. I've put it to one side for possible use in the future. Biggest investment in this project was time. It took several days over the course of 2 months to complete. Glad you enjoyed it, cheers.
You need to "weather" the humans, they look too fine, shiny and not even dirty working there. But nice work!
Instablaster...
Richard looking great remember going around scrap yards like that back in the day and an yes there was always guard dogs straining at the leash. For cutting out panels on the cars one of the best ways is to use a piercing saw
How good! Finished night shift and arrived home to see the the bell icon lit up! It’s only flippin’ Everard Junction! Thanks Richard, really is looking great.
Rest easy partner. 👋🏻 from USA
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. More vids on the way.
Scrapyard looked good before and now it looks brilliant! Really nice expansion. I love the use of the railay arch with the more valuble motors under tarps.
A scrap bin full of sewing thread of various colors to simulate wiring harnesses would look great. Love your work
Theres alot to learn from simple things like the process of thought behind the scenery of a layout, Everard Junction is a perfect example of this, much realism is created from the choice of scenery. Watching Everard Junction videos provides a brilliant source of inspiration for my and I'm sure many others own layout development.
There used to be so much urban & rural decay visible from trains. You've encapsulated it very well.
Absolutely superb modelling, when living in the UK I visited yards like that in Aston Birmingham looking for Simca parts. Brilliant, I can smell the oil , feel the dirt under foot and hear the trains.
*Checks notification* New video from Everard Junction
*Stops everything and settles in*
Today is a good day!
Me too!
Snap. Wife and me, instantly. All else put aside. Neither of us interested in model trains though I like the craft of watching certain layout making videos
@@cuebj Been a long time since I had a layout, but i'm very much a maker (check out the car on the channel) big and small stuff, and the layouts are still a hope for one day in a distant loft somewhere :)

As always, a fantastic tutorial on oft ignored touches to a model railway. Your narrative is really easy to follow and I really appreciate your videos.
Thanks very much
The attention to detail astonishing. TWO Austin Princess at the breakers yard especially pleasing to the eye..
At the beginning of the video I actually thought the person looking out of his balcony was real. So I replayed it. You really got me.
Fantastic scrap yard , also educational and superbly filmed with commentating by BBC? Really Marvelous .
It’s not over ‘till it’s over...amazing detail..👏👏
From the old layout. so many video's on how to do things that have been asked of you. Following the new layout has been a joy; not forgetting the expertise of the excellent filming, you're an inspiration for model makers seconded to none.
Looking very nice the increased size of the scrap yard has made it far more believable
Wow. The attention to detail. I think I just took two pages of notes for ideas. Thank you for sharing your vision.
Scrapyard looks good with the extra spaces.
Love your 1980's distopia, very different from other layouts
Splendid scrapyard expansion and enhancements. Love the puddles and moldy caravans!
And not a single Reliant Robin in sight!
Your caravans are 1:43 Cararama caravan...
Your model train layout is a very very impressive job... I am not in the model train hobby but I like to watch your vids and hearing your comments.
Your craftmanship and more than that, your well explained and documented sociologic approach of the british 80s is a real pleasure to watch.
Scrap Yard scene is becoming my favourite, amazing👏
I never ever did a diorama and every time i see yous do these things i can't do nothing but love it regardless how perfect it has to be but i get it.... the better details the world looks more real!!!
That has to be the most 70's flats I've ever seen. I've a sudden craving for findus crispy pancakes and hanging beige curtains.
Nice to see our Crossley Scrap layout at 12.38 mins in , great modelling here , got some more ideas to put into our layout , look forward to updates
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I hope to see Crossley again in the future. I didn't take enough pictures! Cheers
Superb modelling, Richard. Absolutely fantastic, enjoyed that a lot!!
I’m not a model railway man of any sort, nor am I old enough to remember anything earlier than 2000, I’m not a avid modeller anymore either but my god I absolutely love following these build videos!
I love how the scenes changed over time, much like the real world 👊
I just love the scrapyard... I can almost smell the oil in the puddles and the forklift exhaust.... Great time period too! I spent most of the late 80s in junkyards here in Canada, getting bits to keep late-60's beaters on the road. My brother still has his Mk 1 Capri though, haha! Cheers from here!
The scrapyard floor looks so real. I love the puddles.
Everard, that is just stunning, what a piece of work, it looks as real as you will ever see. You've certainly studied your scrap yards.
The fencing , the mud, the whole ambients is first class.
Well done.Remember before you put the British rail van in the crusher to ask the driver to get out !!!! Ha ha ha ha !!!
All the best
Duncan.
I could watch your videos all day long, the level of detail is truly amazing. Excellent workmanship both the railway and your videos... Thank you for sharing them with us mere mortals...
Love watching your content, have done for years. Think I must have rewatched this video 7 times 🤣 Cheers, Lee
I said before in the last video how much I loved the scrap yard but I love it even more now, everytime you added something from ground covering to fencing and appliances my grin just got wider and wider as the video went on, I think it's absolutely brilliant - the details are second to none and I love your imagination !, how I wish you were my best mate, I'll follow you forever more now more in hope that you'll let me be your best mate !. Lol.
I am not a railway modeller, but you have given me some ideas for my wargaming terrain. Thanks.
Fantastic layout has a very early 1980's period feel with the scrap cars and vans and old scrap cookers and washing machines reminds me of a local scrapyard was like in the 70's and 80's
Spot on for an '80s scrappy, I kept a Vauxhall Victor and Mini alive from paces like this. The oily puddles bring back memories - not all good!
I've spent so many hours in places like this that other customers have mistaken me for an employee (not sure if that's flattery or an insult)... It's always either cold, wet, and muddy, or hot, dry, and dusty -- nothing in between. My one suggestion would be to splash just a little bit of mud on the sides of the appliances on the ground. But the attention to detail is incredible and when I saw you had posted this video, it made my day. I'd give it five thumbs up if I could.
You need a couple of guard dogs living in one of the caravans or vans.
The dog he has looks too happy even if it is cocking its leg. It should have a docked tail and look both depressed and angry. Might be retired fighting dog
@@cuebj: the saying 'mean as a scrapyard dog' is not for nothing.
"Y'a like dags??"
I'm blown away by this guy. So talented.
Love the fact that the reg on the fiesta is a real reg for a 1983 fiesta .. nice detail...
Hi Richard, I really look forward to your videos, In the previous video, you mentioned about adding to the scrap yard. Well, this is impressive, never in a million years did I expect you to move the canal to do so. But yet again, you creative decisions have paid off, your scrap yard is superb, well done and great work. Looking forward to the next instalment 👌🏻
Always look forward to new Everard videos. Best layout channel on TH-cam. Great work and hello from New Jersey!
Fantastic work and enjoyable to follow as always, thanks Richard
Looks fantastic. I remember going to the salvage yards with my Grandpa (who was an auto mechanic) and seeing it just like this. the thing I remember was the colors of the fridges and stoves being burnt orange and avocado green as well as white. adds a great point of interest in the set. thank you for sharing all the great videos
What a fantastic piece of modelling Richard...visited a few like that in the 80s!! Used to wear a big coat with big pockets, switches and small bits to take an SRI Vauxhall to CDI/CDX spec....🤔
Magnificent! Having worked in and around scrap / junk yards all throughout my childhood I must say you did a beautiful job of capturing the essence. I can almost smell the Gear oil and burnt antifreeze.
Fantastic job, looks so real and really pleased you decided to expand, the original yard looked great but it always looked too small to be financially viable, kudos for having the nerve to dig up an existing bit of scenery to redo it.
I just love the caravans and the yellow bedford tk truck. Awsome layout.🇿🇦
gave a thumbs up for this one love it i have known scrap yards just like this. love this build
your dedication and attention to detail is remarkable
First view of all those washing machines......brilliant!
Quite the convincing scrapyard scene . . . the proverbial junkyard dog and a couple of resident cats would give it that finishing touch. Well done.
🤯 bruuuuuh my mind just turned to mush I'm I'm interested and impressed
Brilliant. My family owned a big scrapyard covering five acres from the fifties to the nineties. This scene is pretty much accurate to how it was. Junk, dirt and organised chaos. A few 'saved' vehicles tucked away. Alsations on chains at the entrance. You could add a Transit or Bedford CF Breakdown with Harvey Frost crane on the back parked in the street and a 'totter' bringing in some light iron on the back of an old MK1 Transit or if you can find one, a horse drawn flat London Trolley with scrap on. These were in use in the eighties and some are still used today. All in all, great modelling. It really took me back.
As an American Mini owner, I love your generous use of Mini's in your scrap yard! (I have a 1960 Austin, & a 1967 Morris) Your attention to detail is brilliant, you missed nothing. Sadly modeling in N scale it's tough to find good models of vehicles that don't cost a small fortune! You basically get the same generic cars. I may have to "borrow" a few ideas from you. Love the corrugated fence, and the oil puddles. Spot On!!!
Spent many hours in a place like this looking for spares to rebuild a car,,reminds me off laying in mud to get at spares in the 70-80 s...great times,,,now doing model railway as iam now in my 70s
So glad you extended the scrap yard. Your story of each part of detail was so good to follow, and like you I used to spend a lot of time in a yard just like that. Normally run with a heavily tattooed rough diamond with am evil dog on a chain.
Somehow you tube had unsubscribed me so I have only just found this update. Cheers Gary
Wow! Absolutely outstanding work mate, fantastic. Reminds me so much of growing up in the 70s and 80s; that's just how the old scrapyards looked. Your attention to detail is ace my friend... top marks.
First I've found Chadwick Model Railway and now your channel. These are the kind of videos I need right now to keep me sane while stuck at home during the pandemic. Thanks.
I always am happy to hear and see what you have done. Definitely some of the best ever. I do try to use your ideas if it'll work for me. Cheers, Chris
The opening shot is so realistic. Thanks.
I do love a bit of organised chaos. Excellent and inspiring work.
Great video, loved the puddles and fencing. I wished I owned a scrap yard full of 1970's & 1980's classics lol
loved this video as i used to work in a breaker's yard from 1972 to 1989 as it brought back some great time's i had. Thank you for doing these great video's for us as i know it takes a long time to do. Iv'e got a layout in my garage.
Love this scene. When I'm not working hard in my office, I design and build HO SCALE ( 1/87SCALE ) Mobile homes . I love the way you are using your space wisely.
Fantastic attention to detail. I love the scrap yard. Thanks for continuing to inspire me to push the boundaries
Your attention to detail is amazing - very impressive modelling and the air of desolation you've created in this yard is really convincing. I remember spending time in such places getting bits to keep my cars going when I didn't have much money for maintenance! Excellent and enjoyable video - thank you.
You are such a puritan that layout will never be finished 😊 fair play to you with all you've got going in life work Ford granada resto etc it's amazing that you have the commitment I look forward to your next video by watching the ones I've already seen
This is frankly staggering.
Wish I had your skill, your patience and presumably your money too😂
Fantastic job well done Sir😎👌🏻👍🏻
Junk, junk everywhere! Nice job and definitely worth the effort to extend that scene.
Loving the long rake of accurascale wagons, just weathered a whole heap of those! A pleasure to work on.
I've not had the time do sort them out yet. Looking forward to it. Far too clean right now! Cheers
10 yeoman ones and 15 grey / orange.
Fully filmed the grey versions and captured plenty of images of the Yeoman version, that video is on its way.
Best looking scrap yard ever...
So many happy memories rooting round in scrap yards exactly like that in SE London in the 80's. Brilliant piece of modelling.
The owner of the end to end layout is a member my local model railway club. I bet he’s happy to see it feature. Loving the content keep it up 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
He did an excellent job, very impressive. Cheers
What a great looking scene! The way you were able to capture the grime and gloom of a scrap yard was quite amazing. Always enjoy your videos and look forward to your next project.
My younger brother is a black cab mechanic in london and his firm works under arches.. went to see him once and it was grim! Great effort on your model work and imagination!
Great Richard. You continue to set very high standards. Excellent regards Ian, Swindon.
You have an amazing eye for details. You say you’ve enjoyed this project. I’ve enjoyed watching. Can’t wait for the next instalment
Reminds me of my commuting days. Between New Cross and London Bridge. Very authentic.
Well done. I could feel like I am looking at a real yard. Very enjoyable.
Amazing work, such a contrast from north American when a 2.8L is a massive engine!
Richard,truly amazing work again. Reminds me of every scrapyard I've been in, especially when you added the big skips. Very enjoyable watch. Thanks for sharing.
Great video and full of inspiration for other modellers. Really liking the scrap yard scene.
Keep up the good work
I once visited a scrap yard and saw about 2 dozen stoves and as many refrigerators that were all the same. Turns out they all came from an apartment complex that was upgrading their appliances. Scrap yards hate exhaust parts, and rarely accept them, they turn to rust very quickly and steel mills don't want rust! A scrap yard will store valuable scrap until the price goes up then sell it all at once. Auto scrap yards where I live can't accept vehicles with fuel tanks so there is always a pile of fuel tanks near their entrances! Don't forget to add a store where used parts can be sold! Scrap yards always have a lot of detail and you've done the right thing putting it up front where visitors can appreciate it. It's really looking good!
What a great video. I love your work. Amazing yard. Thank you for posting
Excuse the French ... But your attention to detail is Effin awesome ... So particular in where you place each item ... Best layout I have ever had the pleasure of looking at and watching ... So can't wait to see what you do next ... Your voice is relaxing and calming like David Attenborough ... Keep the content coming ... !!!
