    Great work! It’s so cool to see your layout now with all the scenery, as I remember when almost every module you had was just a bare baseboard with tracks. Really shows how hard work and effort pay off! Now you’ve got me ready to start working on my own layout 😃

    Loves this layout, really. Specially for the realism of the landscape and how the train cuts through it instead of the landscape made around the track or, even worse, track added everywhere like a noodle plate. A shining example for the beginner to follow when making his first layout.

    Great video as always. Can’t believe the layout is almost complete. The series has got me back into the hobby which I used to do with my granddad.
    I’m starting to build a ~6x4 foot OO GWR based branch line layout for my son and I with a similar track plan to Goford Tynn. Catch is I need it to fold in half so it fits under my sons single bed. Just a possible future layout idea but would be great to see your thoughts on a realistic 6x4 layout that folds and stores under a bed! Keep up the good work!

    • @ThatModelRailwayGuy
      @ThatModelRailwayGuy  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

Ooh interesting idea, I do have my own 6x4 layout from when I was a kid hanging around in the garage - I have considered possibly tarting it up at some point in the future. Anything is possible now that this layout is getting close to completion! Thanks for watching 🤩

    I do like your approach to scenery building. It's the way I was shown to do it back when I was a boy, although many people would use several layers of papier-mache in leiu of the bandages: newspapers were more plentiful (and cheaper!) back then.

    • @ThatModelRailwayGuy
      @ThatModelRailwayGuy  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes you could definitely just add more layers of paper mache if it was a static home based layout. As this layout gets moved around quite a lot though the plaster bandage just gives it that added strength, but the basic technique is still the same. Thanks for watching 😃

    • @stephendavies6949

  • @darrenmccoy

    Great work, just one suggestion, the track solder joints should be on the "back" of the rails so the people at the front can't see them.

    • @ThatModelRailwayGuy
      @ThatModelRailwayGuy  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      But with a modular model railway, there is no front or back 😉 Generally though the solder joints need to be on the outer sides of the rails otherwise the would interfere with the wheels. Thanks for watching 👍

    The fences and walls really set it all off brilliantly and I must say I rather like that road bridge! Is it a kit or a Blue Peter job, i.e. ‘Here’s one I prepared earlier!’ 😉
    Hope the exhibition went well and look forward to seeing the answer! 😎🍀🥂👍

    Hello!
    I've just wanted to say I've been watching your videos for about a year now and I love them.
    Your videos have helped me through difficult times and make me feel better.
    It's great to see all the modules finally coming together.
    I have a question
    If you had to replace a peace of track on the layout, particularly some in a tight spot like inbetween a platform, how would you do it?
    I'd imagine it would be difficult especially when its all nailed and glued with ballast on top of it
    Either way
    Thank you for your videos
    They make me so happy:)

    • @ThatModelRailwayGuy
      @ThatModelRailwayGuy  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi there, I'm really glad to hear that!
      So I'd start with removing as much as you can from the area - definitely buildings but also trees, signals, lampposts if they're not glued down. The less stuff you might accidentally damage the better.
      If you've ballasted the track using the normal PVA method you can add some water to soften up the glue using an eye dropper. If the track is nailed down, you can usually get a fine screwdriver under the head of the nails and prise them out.
      If the track is also glued it might be more tricky but if you use PVA then, again, water will soften the glue. The key thing is to go slowly with all this.
      If you're planning to replace the track in the future then you'll probably need to clear out the existing ballast completely before laying track again, otherwise it'll be too uneven.
      Hope that helps and thanks for watching 😃

  • @markolysynchuk5264
    @markolysynchuk5264 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think you should place the building first and then build up scenery around it, or press it into the scenery before the glue fully dried, because the building looks out of place and not integrated properly. You coyld also try making a dirt ridge around the building.

    • @ThatModelRailwayGuy
      @ThatModelRailwayGuy  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The building needs to be removable for when the modules are stacked on top of each other for storage. As you no doubt saw from the video, the building sits on a foamboard base so pressing it in wouldn't achieve much. Once I have a bit more time though I'll be adding some extra weathering around the bottoms of all the buildings to blend them in more. Thanks for watching 😃

    Please can you advise when you do your paper mache - what ratio of PVA to water do you use? Thank you - i teally find your videos helpful and encouraging.

    • @ThatModelRailwayGuy
      @ThatModelRailwayGuy  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I don't tend to mix to any specific ratio but if I had to say I'd guess around 60% PVA - 40% Water. In the past when I'm pushed for time I have just used the same mix as I use for the ballasting, which is 50/50 but that can be a little too watery. That said, as long as it's easy to spread with a brush onto the paper you should be fine. Generally if you find a technique that works well, stick with that... if you'll pardon the pun! Thanks for watching 😃

  • @markolysynchuk5264

    • @ThatModelRailwayGuy
      @ThatModelRailwayGuy  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The problem there is that if part of the track was being rebuilt then the railway wouldn't be operational as most are single line track. I did include a bit of disused track on the embankment module though. Thanks for watching 😃

    Hey mate, great content as usual. One thing bugging me I know it seems to work for you but the crocodile clip on the applicator isn't that supposed to attract the fibres, so popping it in the glue is not really going to help?

    • @ThatModelRailwayGuy
      @ThatModelRailwayGuy  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No, the fibres are attracted to the mesh on the applicator allowing them to fall vertically and remain upright. The wire with the crocodile clip is to complete the circuit, so to speak, so it needs to be in the glue or at least touching the nearby surface. Thanks for watching 👍

      What he says in that video is true for how the WWS applicators work and probably other branded static grass applicators too.
      The cheaper ones I use work as I described. Obviously WWS want to promote their product as superior but personally I've never found there to be a significant visual difference in the end result for either method.

      You just get a slightly more patchy, less consistent grass. You can absolutely do that but personally I find it works better doing one later at a time. Thanks for watching 😃

      @@ThatModelRailwayGuy thanks for replying. I was just asking because I am getting around the stage where I add some grass to my layout! and I think I might get the one you have.

      No problem with me. The laser cut walling will be back in stock soon but I don't have a definitive date yet. Channel Members will get the chance to order it first. Thanks for watching 👍
