A subscriber five time zones away who tunes in a bit later, but laughing about the up-close appearance at 3:15 and the lovely view from the chair as the trains run around. You’re a wonderful inspiration. Working on this N scale in the spare room and about to expand before Stage 1 isn’t really accomplished and glad to be on board.
Great episode, love how you maintain the illusion by not panning above the backdrop. 12:55 brickwork and foliage stood the close up test perfectly, what a wonderful piece of work. Looks really good, however I will throw a bucket of water over that light at the end of the tunnel with “weathering” word 😂 and the pristine “cascaded” stock
Oh how right you are to pick up on the stock weathering. I had a massive go at it for the old layout when I only had about 200 wagons - now I have 600. Perhaps its time to load up the trusty airbrush again?? Probably a great winter project!
A really good, old fashioned, in the best way! Model railway. It's nice to know I'm not the only analogue man left in the world! 😅. Best regards Dave Barnes from Southend on sea.
Marvelous update thanks, the weathered brickwork and bush are lovely and incredibly realistic. Perhaps a topic (weathering) to cover in a bits and bites video. Hope you get over your bout of oldfartitis quickly - having done something similar doing up a zip recently I know how you feel. The class 4 2-6-0 looks great trundling along on the branch freight. The stopping passenger is also very good capturing the rather run down look of parts of the system in the 50/60's
The thing I like to see on many You Tube videos is when the modeler adds a thing, that was nagging for its absence, but not obvious for exactly what was missing. With Everard Junction, his discarded newspapers and soda cans between the platforms, just add that missing thing, and make the scene feel more complete. There's point rodding (or cable trunking for modern image), signs, posters and ad boards, trash bins, crossings at the end of platforms for hand carts. As I suggested it's the stuff you look at and just say "there's something missing here", then trying to figure out what it is!
Looking really good. Smooth running too. Lol I think my mum would have been on the knitting team too. Defiantly a certain gold medal for team GB in that sport! Maybe Tony North Eastern could give you some pointers on canopies?
Of course an altogether different look from over here, beautifully done, and bringing back those memories when I first traveled on the Phoebe Snow in 1958. It all comes together. So pleased to view, and inspirational as the spare room gets cluttered about with tiny trains.
Big building? The two at Trinity Square are a pub (the perspective piece on the bridge) and a theatre behind platform 1. Let me know if these are not the ones you referred to and I'll throw some light on them. B

Hi Richard. Thanks for your comments. I'll look out for your progress reports on the spare room layout.
Super layout and very informative voice over - Thanks, M
Glad you enjoyed it
That was a really good update on Yarslow 👍🏻
Thanks for your comment
Great work mate. It's looking lovely. The scenery is fantastic.
Many thanks
Starting to all come together for you although is a railway ever finished thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Thanks for watching!

Hi Dave. One day, us old guys will take over the world!!

Hi. Happy to do something about loads. Thanks for the suggestion.
Oh yes!! Dave Barnes.
I'll have a pint of what he's having!! Glad you liked it David

Yes Neil - it goes on and on and on........... But then that's half the fun!
great vid verey interresting ps hope your war wounds getting better
Hi William. Thanks for your comment. I really hope it gets better soon as well - one-armed railway modelling is hard!
Lovely layout, yours!! A bit big for a tiny bungalow like mine, but gorgeous nonetheless.
Simple solution - buy a big shed! No room for this in my house either so the garden shed was the obnly answer
Looking really good. Smooth running too. Lol I think my mum would have been on the knitting team too. Defiantly a certain gold medal for team GB in that sport! Maybe Tony North Eastern could give you some pointers on canopies?
Thanks 👍
Obviously set in the 1950s to very early 60s!! That was the end of steam on the Hertford North line!!
Bang on

Looking forward to next update ?
Posted 2/12/23 - at long last!
I like your style. Scenery definitely enhanced by layering. Will you add anything to your backscenes? They look amazingly blue...
Hi. I am planning some clouds - probably "Bob Ross" style - just a few wisps of white. I dont want to go too mad - the sun always shines in Yarslow!!
Is the big building a military barracks, or is it a rather large industrial building?
