- I've been very busy on the layout over the past few weeks. Its been good fun, I've progressed skills and gained some more confidence in scratch building.
I bought a number of products from Scale Model Scenery and Goodwood Scenics for various the scenes I'm working on. Links to the websites are below. Please note that Goodwood are currently out of stock for corrugated sheet.

Love the industrial estate. That section of road between the scrap yard and the truck garage is begging for a burger van!!
🤣🤣🤣 a dodgy one 🤣🤣🤣
Definitely, scenecraft do a good one I hooked up to an Oxford defender looked great!
The space was built for a never installed second track, and is now used as a storage area for permanent way and signalling equipment, and a small cabin for a mess room.
I had the same thoughts. Great hideout for a cupper inbetween breaks ;-)
would work with the access to the relay box being there too..good call.
I was thinking the remains of pointwork with abandoned/ruined goods sheds or maintenance buildings. Track lifted but permanent way in place but overgrown!
On the canal, why not have your narrowboat cruising past with a bit of a wake and don't forget the litter in the water!
I was born in 1978 and grew up in & around Peterborough and East Anglia; just love this guy, it's all spot on and really takes me back to being 10 years old watching 33's, Rosters and the like with me dad while he told me all about 'real' trainspotting by the LNER. Long live the 'Junction!
Absolutely brilliant modelling..the scrapyard is just the best I've seen..though I remember the scrappys in the 80's were covered in mud and oil..thanks for the renewed inspiration :)
The mud, oil, doors, tyres, gearboxes, engines, axles, seats and broken glass is coming. Going to take me ages! Cheers
@@EverardJunction Lol, I kinda thought all that good stuff would come..cheers
Brilliant work Richard. It all looks amazing as ever. Love the scrap yard too. Re the branch line id go with the ripped up track/point option. 👍
So much work that you've done; really impressed. Loving the cars 2 high in the scrap yard, back in the 80's it wasn't uncommon to see them 3 high and it was just your luck if you needed a part from the bottom car. Can't wait to see what else you do with the scrappy! Stay safe mate.😊👍
Suggestion for the scrap yard or commercial garage the addition of some grounded van bodies etc for storage of reclaimed components.
Tyres would often be stacked against the fence and the occasional one end up in the canal.
Pouring some resin in the dips in the road also gives puddles, which I think are a very under modelled British staple!
And a whole load of sh*** stored on the building roof 😁
And the other item obviously missing from the scrapyard - but no doubt in mind for the future - is the mobile crane or hi-lift that stacks the cars on top of each other...Brilliant video as always.
Some older cars 50's 60's era as well, our local scrappys always had some relics tucked in the back corner with the newer, more profitable stuff at the front. A couple round here also had an old van as kennels for the guard dog
I love the idea of the disused track, it enables so many scenic interests such as old signals and signage (perhaps scars of the long since rationalisation of the route) it probably won't require much work either, add a disused and rusty GWR style signal gantry/bracket(with or without signals) and the look is almost complete. for the disused track I'd love to just see the old track sat in position albeit overgrown and cut from the branch itself, which was the modus operandi of BR on several occasions when cutting off unwanted sections of track - hopefully adding to the era atmosphere.
P.s I miss the old layout but this new one leaves me waiting for every new update!
every town has disused lines . we have loads in wigan
@@tracya4087 Bolton and Salford used to have plenty until the electrification
That grimy track looks amazing. It's a small detail that really brings everything together.
Another quality update Richard. You have been busy. Thanks for sharing & keep up the good work.
NOVELISTS don't put as much thought, effort or detail into their created work as you do. ( The 'nasty-neighbour' garden is absolute genius...) Every now and again your HAND creeps into shot as you show us stuff and I'm reminded, 'This Actually Is A Model!!!!! Just breathtaking art in every way, mate... I'm beyond impressed at this point. What is interesting to me is that your creation, (it's more than a model railway layout...) documents a Britain/England that is fast disappearing... (For shame!!!) I am a hobbyist and a craftsman. You're an artist. Respect. xx SF
You have no idea how much I look forward to seeing these.
And never more so than now.
Outstanding work. The buildings, the fence, the grassy areas. Everything.
Nice one Richard, your drawn into the scene, then your hand appears and shatters the illusion. Great Job 👍
Evening Richard hope your keeping well and safe 😀 Fantastic update on Everard junctions 👍🏻 It's looking more and more realistic at every new episode 🤣 Well done for brilliant review on you hard work. Cheers Stevie 😎
Really great work as always, I particularly like the cars as I once owned a Mk1 Granada and an SD1, both of which I would have again if I could. Thanks for sharing your love of this hobby for all these years. Regards Jim.
Great work as ever. Being as you've done all that work on the fence, steps and gate don't forget to leave rail staff access to it on that bit of land you don't know what to do with. A slightly overgrown lane going down to the gate perhaps with a BR van and some staff skiving might work.
AMAZING video. I know everyone has different view on what then won’t from a layout, but you are different class. BRILLIANT.👍😊
Great Sunday evening viewing 👍 New buildings look good, nice details on the cars, top stuff as usual.
Love the details of your industrial area and the stories you put to them. I am new to creating scenery and am finding it to be a real but rewarding challenge. I find your videos inspirational. Thank you for sharing.
superb work, as usual, I love the new style 80's intros...
Hi, I just want to say that the progress you are showing on your layout is amazing. Thank you for sharing.
I like the idea of having the remains of the double track under the bridge, I think it would work very well!
Thank you. I am always happy to see your new videos. I love what you are doing with your small industrial area. I work in a bus depot in a similar location (albeit in Australia) the other type of business that are common here are road repair and sign yards where road signs and road repair equipment are stored when not being used. Looking forward to seeing how you progress over the next few months.
Great update. The Canal looks Brilliant !
Wow. Looks amazing, every scrap yard I've been to, the ground is normally a mixture of mud and oil, guys in grubby boiler suits and manky fork lift. Also maybe take a blow torch to a couple of cars to recreate burnt out ones. It's not me doing the work but maybe a small garage too, Were you can see flashes of light as if someone is welding inside. A timber merchants would no.doubt be easier, you see them all the time by the railways. As for the branch an old track bed or workers prefabs seems the best idea to me. However it's not me doing the work, your more than capable of doing your own thing. So whichever route you go, Im sure it'll be great but many thanks for sharing.
Love these updates. I dont model anything British as I live in the states but your layout and scenery techniques inspired me to rip up my old scenes and redo them. I can't say enough about how beautiful your layout is and how helpful these videos are.
Hi Richard, a brilliant update. You have been busy. The inspiration for my model railway is never ending from you. Thank you regards Ian Brunssum NLD.
Gday Richard what a great job you have done it all looks Excellent!! Keep up your great work and ideas.. Really enjoying your layout. Thanks mate Regards Tony😎
Love the scrape yard scene, looks awesome. You have really done a great job weathering the buildings, you do not give yourself enough credit for your skills. Love seeing the trains running on the layout also. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe. Ken
As usual a brilliant update with lots of ideas. Always 'down to earth' and welcomes input from other people. Keep up the high standards.
Looking good Richard :-) You have been busy. I go along with the idea of old turnout before the bridge, and sleepers leading into it. Well done! Cheers Iain
Class Richard. Your channel is one of the best training and educational resources in the hobby
Remains of an old point off the branch leading to a colliery closed in the 1950s where there is now that modern industrial unit. Would be my suggestion for under the bridge.
Building and grass looks fantastic. Great work!
Incredible job on that scrapyard.
Was going to watch Countryfile but nah Everard Junction wins
Neil Armstrong I agree
Neil Armstrong is there a flag on the moon?
I really like your layout. Thanks for sharing the commentary as well. Cheers.
Wonderful job. I'm a fan of keeping the double branch line that was either abandoned or removed. Amazing job on the cars that were wrecked and those 2 really old dirty vans!
Love your work! I like the idea of the point/disused track under the bridge. Would be great to see a full layout tour at some point soon.
Scrap yard is the BEST thing I've ever seen, love it! I can't wait to see how you develop it.
It does look good.
The truck and van portion is bang on. By far the most realistic upgrade for that section.
I just don’t have any words for how good this all looks, 10/10 for detail 🙌🏻
Simply fantastic, words will never be able to express the beauty of this layout!
Stunning work mate. Been a while since I last looked at one of your updates. Simply beautiful looking layout. Time for a binge watch of you vids to catch up with how you have done things.
That is some very beautiful work. I do like the scratch built garage. The scrap yard is looking good. You will need a crane of some sort in there. Can't wait to see what you do. Thanks for sharing.
Great attention to detail and love the back stories. Having worked in the motor trade in my early twenties during the very early 90s, that small independent industrial estate garage feels very familiar to me. Granadas, Cortinas, Escorts, Marinas, Minis, Metros and even a Bedford HA van like you have were the bread and butter work of our customers vehicles. As you say most were patched up year on year including the newer B and C reg Escort IIIs which had big rust problems! The world of canbus / computer controlled everything in cars was not yet upon us, and nor was full bidy galvanising. I probably welded a patch on a cill at least once a week!
The house I grew up in had the 3' concrete post and wire fence and my dad put up 6' fence panels between us and annoying neighbours. So that scene also feels very real to me.
Really love the back stories you make to give reason to the scene. Great work!
Another great video. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you.
Fantastic detail Richard. Keep up the good work
I was thinking today when I went on to TH-cam.... Evarard video and a coffee would be good right now. Good stuff and thanks for the update. 👍
Really like the “neighbours from hell” garden. And the detailing around the signal controlling the branch line approach up to the main line is great too.
Re: branch line abandoned track, of the three ways forward you described, I would say keep the double bridge, portray that the single track would have split to two once upon a time but now one line has been abandoned.
Looking forward to seeing how detailing the scrap yard ground progresses. Puddles, oil stains, general wear verging on neglect presumably?
Thanks very much for sharing.
Wow, to think I remember waking up in late 2016/early 2017 to a video of you explaining how you were ripping up old Everard Junction and starting again, the progress and quality is incredible! Wish mine could follow that same trajectory 😄. Love the scrapyard, just needs some detailing now. Really looking forward to what you will do with the station!
Must be due an layout update date soon
Richard, love you're new update, I like the industrial buildings as the trains enter the town, very effective. With the second hand car dealership you need some signs or car prices on the inside of windows, to let you know it's a car dealership. For me personally I like the first idea of just a set of tracks going into the other tunnel very rusty and overgrown with stoppers on either end of the piece of track, with rail detritus, i think it would give it character. Of all the people I'm subscribed to you and Dave at Dean Park are the "bomb." Take care mate and look forward to the next update, happy modelling! 👍
I love your videos. They are generally very calming and you always share great information. Thank you and I hope you get to keep doing what you love and share it with the world (P.S. I can't wait for the next video)
Everything is looking fab love the scrap yard & crash damaged cars, I had a blue marina but it didn't die like that one & instantly noticed the Man & Granada as you, for the empty area I would suggest a skip hire with one skip truck loading or unloading rather than just being parked up empty, under the rail bridge the remains of a lifted set of points & associated track work left overs & overgrown would look good.
Wow! Where to start with this update. The attention detail, even if not finished, is incredible, the new scratch built structures are looking fantastic ( I thought they were resin builds initially) and I reckon you’ve nailed the look of the brickwork perfectly To go to the lengths of removing sections to revamp them or improve the look can only be applauded and those efforts and results speak for themselves. Engaging, entertaining and enlightening. Loved it. Paul
I like the idea of a disused track and full double bridge. It gives you scope to put many things of interest in the space.
Richard Great work as always , my vote for the area were the branch line bridge is for a disused turnout and lifted section of track . The scrap yard and light industry area looks very good, nice work.
Looking even more fab now, love the detail of the automotive industrial area - we all have good and bad memories of places like that for one reason or another' Single track for the branch' Canal looks great with less' it has that 'running through industrial look. Scratches look great, I used to work next to a lorry depot in the 80's - yours looks virtually the same, bit more oil wouldn't go amiss - our 'works rodent prevention specialist' once fell into an exposed drum, oil everywhere but all sorted with a trip to the vet'.
Looking great. Can't wait to see tons of weathering and grot to the scrapyard :)
You truly are the master. Our Luke Towan. Keep smashing it Sir, you are a top class modeller!!!!
Love your sense of realisme! Great job
Well done sir. Thank you for sharing your passion with us. Here are my suggestions: - under the bridge options, I suggest option nº 1 (some random slippers) - next to the industrial estate, my suggestion is timber.
Great update Richard the layout is looking really good
Always love your intros as well they are brilliant
Keep up the great work
brill ar nt they
Amazing work as always Richard. For the bridge I'd go with it's an abandoned part of the line. Now it's just used for a bit of storage, maybe some track, big ballast bags, even a couple of old signals. The I site. Maybe a builders yard of some sort with a plant hire business in there.
I think that your layout is absolutely brilliant 😂 an full marks for restoring your lovely car
Who would have ever thought I’d say... the scrap yard is looking great! I’ll put my vote in for the disused double track option where a point originally existed but was torn up many years earlier.
Richard, you are a magician! The model is really coming to life now.
Love the scrapyard theme - really good concept. Great idea to model crash damage and well-executed, too.
Good to see the canal-side houses being reworked and improved - neighbours from hell...! 🤣 And maybe a big angry-looking Doberman chained up in their back yard as well..?
Glad that you are now calling cable troughing by its correct name as cable trunking is something entirely different. On the subject of things to do with S&T - the signal on the branch needs to be adjusted to get the red aspect to point towards the drivers eye level on the branch rather than the sky, but I know you said you are still working on this area. Don’t forget the AWS ramp for it, which should be positioned circa 183 yards (+/- five yards) from the signal, whatever that is in ‘OO’. And there should be a location case (“relay box”) adjacent to it as well for the controlling relays and power supplies.
As for the single line going under the overbridge; I think the idea of old ballast leading off with an imprint in the ballast further on of where sleepers have been removed is good one. You would need to extend the sleepers at the site of the points and maybe have some rail chairs on there, with perhaps the old switches lifted and laid in the cess. The result would show what we would call “plain-lining”, where a redundant full or half set of switches has been removed and replaced with a section of plain-line rail.
Hope the above is of use and / or interest.
Keep up the good work. Stay safe.
Best wishes from the Wirral.
Awesome work. I dream of having a layout like this one day. Great informative video and so interesting how much thought and research goes in to where and why thing go where they do.
That's looking really good. You mentioned some sort of lumber/builders' yard. Firms who do farm supply always have loads of interesting stuff like gates, posts, lumber, rolls of hoses, pipes, wire, feeding troughs etc. They don't have huge amounts of any one thing but have lots of smaller stacks of interesting things with potential for lots of detail along with an irregular display with clear-ish lines for a trailer or truck to get down. Great video, thank you.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Always a great video! Love the idea of an abandoned track section on the branch line. Perhaps the odd sleeper and forgotten equipment? For the I dustrial space perhaps a scaffold hire place? Fairly easy with just pipes and planks but you can get some details in.
I like the idea of a former second track under the bridge. Their are still plenty of examples of old lines next to current ones where the track has been removed and the track bed has become overgrown across the UK. Plus it adds a unique visual. I look forward to seeing what you do with the space
Really loving the work so far! Disused line and some tatty old scraps by the bridge will look very authentic. Perhaps a small gas bottle yard/warehouse for the small area? Maybe Calor Gas etc. There's one near my place of work that strikes me as quite a lot of stuff crammed into a small fenced-off space. Might make for some open-space detail & maybe some colours. Anyways I'm enjoying watching your progress, no doubts my favourite layout on the 'ol Tube. Keep up the good work!
Just stunning work Richard.
Wish I had the space & your skills. 😃
“Everard Junction has uploaded a new video”... today is a good day. Amazing progress!
Love the scrap yard. you could do the branch line scenario as though it split to go to 2 destinations when built, but now only one survives. Although the track was lifted some years ago, you can still see the indentations in the ballast where the sleepers were though the weeds are starting to take hold. Perhaps a 2 portal tunnel with the disused portal bricked up...?
Great stuff as usual. The branch line would have been a former double track route into a large alternative station within the town (separate to the remaining current mainline station that you are modelling). Since the Beeching cuts, only a single track chord that runs up to Everard Junction remains of the former route where it joins the current mainline. The old station and route into the town were torn down and pulled up in the late 60s. Maybe some indication of this former route in the small foreground space at the very front of the layout would satisfy most viewers.
I love the idea of the abandoned area where the old track used to be off the branch under the bridge. I would make it overgrown, with a few old sleepers lost in the undergrowth. Keep it simple. Great job.
Brilliant amazing layout, thanks for sharing your layout
37:52 Driver looks about done with his job
I love how you focus on all the teeny bitty details of your scenes, most people just breeze over their progress and dont take the time to really let us appreciate it
Thank you for posting! I enjoyed your compositional flow of the video, interspersing narrative and detail with visual breaks. The careful attention shows. :)
This layout is genuinely stunning, so much detail considering it is in the early stages.
Perhaps with the bridge you could add a track under the bridge which finishes as a set of buffers, as if it is a siding which joins the line after it passes under.
While not into model trains, I am both impressed with, and appreciate , the level of work shown here. The detail is incredible. Thank you. 👍
For me, it’s flight sims, so a well designed airport that looks great, with nice attention to detail, is very similar in my mind.
Nice idea with the double track over bridge. On the Frimley branch line of my old signal box Ash Vale the bridges were built for double track even though only a single was put in.
Just magnificent mate .
At the double track bridge, I think you should lay down some ties (sleepers) which gives the area the allusion that there was once a switch (turnout) and rails as a second branch line. Maybe add a single track portal and weather the area. Much more interesting then just moving the terrain up and making it a single track bridge. Love your work !!
Yeeaaaas 40 minutes of everard junction
That looks excellent. You always add a ton of tiny details which contribute to the realism of each scene. I think your weathering of the buildings and vehicles all look great. Your experience in the field really shows. I'll take one of the Volvos :)
TkS for this update just superb as usual I admire you're imagination
You could add a escort van to your commercial Van or a used mini van. As my Dad had both in the 80's.
Another thought is a cut and shut car in the lot. Not sure if it is feasible, just and idea.
Amazing what you done, I still got my intercity 125, but the engine stopped working in the late 90s. Thinking of setting it up in the loft.
Wow. Big changes, in relation to the branch line, all options sound good and frankly you should do what you want, you won’t please everyone with what you choose so please the most important person, yourself. The industrial area sounds full of potential. Considering the options, you could do a gardeners or landscaping supply centre, that way you can have timber, soil, sand, slabs and all sorts of other related materials including skips and pots. Either way, the run down and industrial feel I love already and the scrap yard is brilliant. A great and enjoyable video as usual. All the best, Clint
Always enjoyable & inspiring! For what it's worth, I agree with McMetro below; go with the ex-double track with the lifted-out pointwork, would look great!! Thanks as always for posting your efforts.
Hi Richard, Lovely work there. With regards to the bridge, you could build a bridge wide enough to fit a double track under, but once the track was lifted it subsequently had the one half bricked up as a result of the heavier loads above. Also worth noting is that in a lot of towns and cities up and down the country a lot of rivers had their “canalised” in order to get boat traffic into the heart of wherever it may be. So it would be perfectly plausible to have a river on your layout.
Branch line. I would go with a usable or disused siding coming from under the bridge and a buffer stop rusted or newish depending on wether it was to be a usable or disused siding. Reason I suggest siding is that the branch line really reminds me of a colliery line I recall on snaking steep incline coming out of the reception sidings towards the main line. Your 56 with long rake of HEAs is etc would look superb or any long freight on the climbing the branch line would look stunning. Going with the colliery theme an industrial shutter could be parked on the of the siding to give interest. The empty area by the ranch line could also have a colliery related theme. Great work. Cheers M
I was just thinking that the Capri looked alright and you warned me away! Great attention to details.
another great vid Richard, i always look forward to your updates. love the attention to detail. mind it never ceases to amaze me how people have opinions ,or try to tell you how to do things on your layout. im a firm believer, in its my layout and i do it the way i want ,and i run what i want .anyway look forward to the next vid. thanks ,COLE PARK
we all do
nationwide
Another excellent update, keep up the work
Hi rich looks really good some really good progress if it was me I’d go with one tunnel mouth and bring the embankment out 👍
Hello, in regards the double portal, I would love to see a abandoned track there. Lots of rusted track, missing sleepers, and lots of weeds and brambles. Possibilities of lots of detail and interest. In regards the open lot in the small industry/ business estate, I see a lumberyard there. With big metal racks full of lumber/timber. The racks would be on the rear of the lot, running parallel to the tracks. Okay there are my two, 2 cents worth. Great stuff. And you are a great modeler. See ya next time.
