You could shoot movie scenes on Everard Junction and no one would know it's a model. I can't believe I've been watching your videos for over 10 years and you've never ceased to amaze me. Thank you for sharing 👌
@@gazzasal9724 I can tell you are an unhappy chappy posting derogatory remarks to other people!! What's the matter with you? Oh don't tell me, if you're a brit, you're probably fed up with all these immigrants crossing the channel, obtaining free housing and money while you slave away in your job, paying your taxes and getting bent over backwards and shafted by the rulers of this coiuntry eh? Or could it be you found out your wife's having an affair or your kids don't want to know you or maybe it's the fact you've recently realised that people in UK only care about themselves and money? Which is it or have I left anything out?
I found your channel back in 2020. I'm constantly impressed with the amount of detail you achieve. I particularly like when you go through the process you use when modifying the different rail cars. I'm into RC trucks (old military) but I've been able to make use of some of your techniques. Keep it up I enjoy every new episode!!!
Excellent video, the details are great and brings back memories of travel to London Bridge etc. great work. A little bit of nostalgia in a bleak timeline. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful modelling craft.
Great video Richard. I like how you say it's not finished, but to quote a good friend of ours, David Watson at Dean Park, "Model railways are never finished, they just evolve!" and I can agree with that!
Hi mate. Can i offer some advice, certainly not criticism. Signalling and point wise. The exit point of the sidings would also be motorised and not a hand lever. This would be to prevent conflicting movements. I.E hand point towards main lines and motor point set against. They are known as Co-acting and both points would move together from the power signalbox. Also the scrap rail wouldn’t be left between sidings where locos are stabled. It presents tripping hazard to drivers. Even in the 80’s this was a no-no. Drivers unions were hot with that sort of stuff. Otherwise excellent update.
I found your channel 6 months ago. Your one of the reason's i got back in the hobby again. I learned a lot from you even things i had forgotten. Thank you very much.
Fantastic, as always. I'll make just one observation. Buildings and other permanent structures live in the landscape and not upon it, and even when they are upon it, nature has a habit of climbing up and trying to absorb them. There is always, to some degree, a fillet of weeds, stones, soil, and/or junk that fairs and obscures the transition from horizontal to vertical.
Wonderful work on the sidings Richard. Truly inspirational watching you cover the area in static grass. I struggle with getting that right. Thanks for sharing. Roy.
Once again another superb video. I came across your channel when trying to find something to give me a respite from work in my little home office during lock-downs. I have followed the construction of your layout avidly since and look forward to each video coming out. Your standard of workmanship is remarkable and your production quality is superb. What makes it for me though is your narrative and explanation of processes. Your voice throughout the videos is sort of comforting and uncomplicated. I'm even tempted to spend £10k kitting out my own very large attic.
Don't forget the rusty bits of rails left lying around on and besides tracks. We were always surprised when we travelled over newly laid ( after engineering works ) bits of track, that were rusty, but brand new, bright and clean ballast, as opposed to shiny, because practically no traffic had run over it to make it shiny again. Both i and my nephew would pay good money to visit your layout to really appreciate all those marvellous attention to details of items you put in. I was staggered by the amount of details you put into putting the litter and junk in the canal, none of which we would see in a passing glance, but now know you have put there. Don't forget the buddleia that sprang up in tracks and sidings all over the place. Far be it from me to tell you what to do, but a well placed tree or old disused telegraph pole or ancient sign post to cover up the sadly visible joins in your background scenery would help. Hope you are not offended at my observations, sorry i said this before seeing you do it after i said it. The more i see, the more it looks like walking around my old depot.
Great work Richard. You have several useful skills which combine and bring authenticity to your layout. One of those is an eye for detail which you seem to easily replicate on the boards. I keep noticing details which really bring your railway to life. The drivers, particularly the one in the scruffy 47 on the parcels - brilliant. I really like the sequence of the Met Camm unit coming out of the sidings onto the mainline. You speeds seem really good too with nothing really racing around. Great stuff and please keep bringing us the inspiration and the entertainment in equal measure.
I love the effects you produce. It’s fine art.It’s so well worth it. It’s what they used to call “Photo realistic”. I get goosebumps as it is so evocative. Well done!
Only recently discovered this channel but I’m hooked. A combination of an excellent overall theme with great eye for detail make this quite inspirational. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to what’s to come.
Always been humbled by your attention to every detail. You have a very unique ability to make each detail life like. Thank you for sharing your videos it's always a pleasure to watch
Impeccable attention to detail. Absolutely the finest presentation of all the model railroading videos presented on TH-cam. Congratulations on your amazing skill set !!!!
Thank you for another great video. That little bit about the points isn’t something I’ve thought about before, wonderful bit of information. It’s amazing what a little bit of detail can do for the overall scene! Thanks again for sharing your work with us.
Love how understated you can be. Amazing piece of modelling, attention to detail looking incredible and in your eyes it looks “more respectable”. Can’t wait to see how you are going to tackle the station.
I do love the fact you are going for that slightly "grotty" look which was very much how the 80s were. New shiny liveries on the trains but the infrastructure was still uncared for. Great series.
Great tip in the way of the airbrush filter. Get plenty of problems with blockages due to lumpy thickening paint. Will give these a go. Layout's looking great cheers Graham 👍
Make sure you thin your paint before pouring it in the filter. It's very fine so neat paint from the jar will just sit there. Handy tool, made my airbrushing much more enjoyable. Cheers
I'm not into trains, never had a layout. I am interested in modelling, but mostly aircraft. I found your channel a few years ago and love how you explain what you're doing and the reasons why. The main reason I watch your videos is that I find them very therapeutic. Your voice, the music and video are all very relaxing. Do you think you'll ever reach a point when you finish Everhard Junction? Or will it always be evolving? Thank you for all your time and effort bringing these videos to us.
No, I just cant do it, my layout is the world i want it to be, not the way it really is, I couldn't bear to put litter in there , i'd always be wanting to pick it up! And put the lids on the trunking properly! As always a brilliant layout, learned so much, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for showing us this - I learnt a few tricks from this and will be reviewing it a few times before attempting my own weathering later in the year. Regards Steve
Liking that! Certainly love a bit of rundown sidings. Great scene and not over done or cluttered up with to much clobber. That rust wash is a nice touch on those rails, got a couple of salmon wagons to load up with dead rails.. one day lol. Top stuff as always.
Thanks! I picked up some Dapol Turbots the other day. Think they'll look good sitting in one of those sidings, just need adding to the weathering pile! Cheers
Great video as usual, Richard. I'm inspired to add some scraggly bushes and litter to my layout for a bit of contrast to what is there already. Cheers from Wisconsin!
Hi Richard Layouts looking great, Someone mentioned before about a ground signal for leaving the sidings. I think the hand point for the headshunt and leading out to the mainline would have a motor like the one coming off the mainline, Both points would be controlled by the signalbox/powerbox. Hope that helps. Cheers Peter.
I was enthralled by the grass and after watching other people with their techniques, this was the one that I found most intuitive. And I brought my first static grass applicator, been playing with all the different grasses and even 8mm in N scale can be awesome. Thanks to Everard Junction.
I have to say Richard that this is one of the best "tutorial" videos I have seen in many a long year. What is of particular interest is that 95% of it is applicable it every gauge. One problem for me in N is that I would love some of the fine short static grass but I have yet to find or even see short grass in N that looks good. I was very interested in the paint side as I am just about to go down that route, so the demos and explanations were of particular interest. I only hope I might achieve something close to your excellent work. Thanks for sharing. Bob
Ho-hum, just another Masters' Class in scenic detailing and great trains. 😁😁😁😁😁 Very cool to see the world of UK trains from the UK of the 80s (a time when I was at university, then married, starting my career and a family). Man, how time flies. Great stuff, Richard!
That was a truly incredible masterclass in getting the variations in tone and texture across the tracks. So many don't bother or fail with this and it can never, ever look right until it is done well. I think you nailed it and it adds so much interest without it being an "in your face" detail. There was one thing that troubled me a tiny bit and I watched this twice to see if I could figure what it was. I think it's the distribution and shape of the patches of grass. I think this is a function of using the same brush to apply the glue. This results in more or less the same size patches in a roughly circular shape. In reality these tend often to follow a narrower, long linear pattern. I guess these would also be scale 1-2ft wide which is towards the large size for "clumps" as such. I have none of your skill so feel like I'm nit-picking.
HI Richard from Down Under Another great inspirational presentation. Thank you. I always enjoy seeing and hearing how you bring life to your layout though your attention to detail. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your next video.
Great work as always Richard. Thoroughly enjoyable and educational. One technicality regarding railway nomenclature: the area between the two pairs of tracks is known as the 'ten-foot', not the cess. I know as a man of detail you'll take this trivial observation in the spirit intended. Keep on producing some of the most entertaining videos on TH-cam!
The points in the yard which switch between the 'catch' sidings and the mainline, from the running shots it looks like they got a point leaver. They'd need to be a point motor so the signaller can control if a train can come out the yard or not. There'd be a shunting signal at the tow end of those points to control the exit from the sidings. Overall the whole area is looking brillant, already looking forward to your next video when you've had chance to do some more to this excellent layout :)

Looking great Richard and l see you had your little Scottish mate come down n stay for a few days 👍
Listen, if you think I'm going to watch a 49 minute video of you painting some toy train tracks... you'd be absolutely right.

It looks beautiful. You have such a brilliant eye for placement and detail and it makes all the difference. 😊
Looks amazing. I love your videos. Only suggestion I have is painting the check rails on the points.
Wonderful work on the sidings Richard. Truly inspirational watching you cover the area in static grass. I struggle with getting that right. Thanks for sharing. Roy.
Another excellent installment! Thanks for sharing all your hard work, your layout is superb and your video productions also first class!!
I really like the updated changes you have accomplished. Well done!
Thanks for another great video! Great work on the layout.😀👍👌
Had to write another comment whilst watching. I was amazed at how perfect the grass was once you had hoovered up the excess. Brilliant.!
Incredible attention to detail, Richard. Looking forward to the next video.
Looking really good. The time, effort, and skill you've invested pays off.
Awesome as always Richard!!!
Interesting point in history to model: the late 80's with a very varied BR rolling stock. Great work. Fascinating to watch.

I do love an 80s style intro
I spend far too long editing those but its good fun! Plenty more to come, cheers.

Your work is great 👍

Amazing stuff. Great detail 👌

Yell from downstairs - "Richard! Your dinners ready! Can you come down before it gets cold!"
Another incredible video from my favourite model railway on TH-cam! Would love to visit this layout one day!
Really good mate keep it up...
Great Video so far! I have been using your layout for tips but modifying them for late 70s North East layout
Might need a ground signal or two for coming in and out of the sidings. layout looking good.
Of course. Its on the list of details remaining for this area.
The points in the yard which switch between the 'catch' sidings and the mainline, from the running shots it looks like they got a point leaver. They'd need to be a point motor so the signaller can control if a train can come out the yard or not. There'd be a shunting signal at the tow end of those points to control the exit from the sidings. Overall the whole area is looking brillant, already looking forward to your next video when you've had chance to do some more to this excellent layout :)
its just amazing to see your detailed work progress....
Very realistic, good job as usual 👍
