New Layout Build - Farm Bridge Detail

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2024
- This one follows on from the previous video concerning the scenic break at the countryside section of the layout. With most of the basics complete I turn my attention to the much needed details, trees and bushes. I also complete some more work to better hide the transition for this end of the layout.
Always more bits to do but I'm pleased with the progress so far. I'm looking forward to continuing the scenery further up the line. Enjoy

Time to stop everything and watch Everard Junction ! :D
Definitely correct
Must watch...... What's that burning in the oven?
I am 64 years old and have never built my own layout well Im going to keep watching you while i do mine
Hit the like button before even watching the video as i know its gonna be good
Richard your standard of modelling is absolutely top notch…but the relatable way in which you explain your techniques really is the icing on the cake. I used to visit and photograph from a bridge in Lower Basildon, in the Thames Valley in the early eighties. This scene is highly reminiscent of that location as I remember it.
To the point that, when he changed to 'real footage' at 12'39", for a few seconds I thought it was back to his model!
My wife happened to come up behind me as I had momentarily paused the video on a shot of the road that passes over the bridge, even before you had added the trees. She asked me why I was just staring at a road. She was amazed when I explained that it was actually part of a model railroad. "It looks so real!". I cannot think of a higher compliment. Well done, Sir!
Brilliant, mission accomplished! Cheers
A quick suggestion for a future project. Turn the area around the 6 uncompleted house into a new build construction site.
I have binge-watched a load of your videos over the last few weeks and loved them Richard. I am not a modeller and don't have the skill to start, but love looking at model railways and really admire your work. I have loved watching the 'new' layout grow over a few years (condensed into a few weeks for me). I think the terrace houses are Georgian (fan shaped fan-light, not the Victorian oblong style) which fits perfectly with the 'story' of the railway being built at some point after the houses, probably taking the land at the back that was their garden, and signalling the change in the houses from dwellings for families to flats. Really looking forward to further updates - thanks for your devotion to sharing the detail with the world.
I love the fact that the fence isn't perfectly straight. There's bends, it's a bit twisted by the years it's been through, it's stained dirty from dust and dirt. Something like that can really set a scene to life.
Just the thing I need after a stressful day 😃
Same here especially as we had a Virgin TV outage ;)
Them point motors are M63 type aka knuckle scrapers.
I’m enjoying these videos Richard ,keep them coming
Another top job done Richard. The scene looks fantastic and is a great reference point for us all to follow…regards, Chris
Gee, the boy does good. I admire your patience at waiting for things to dry before proceeding.
This is absolutely our of the world. Just the sheer attention to detail is unreal
Your show is like watching paint dry. Except its awesome and tension filled!
An absolute artist with incredible vision and practical skills to convert the vision into reality - amazing!
Once again a very informative and lovely video. Thank you.
Absolutely fantastic details mate. If my layout turns out half as good I will be really pleased. Keep safe.
Awesome job Richard!!! Well done! Cheers Onno.
Richard I feel the biggest Donkey, I watched you fit the fence, laying it flat and drilling the post positions. Why have I always measured to drill holes. Hee haw hee haw 😂😂😂 never too old to learn.
That field at the front is just where you'd expect a temporary grazing ground with some rundown troughs and the like. Awesome work as always!
It needs a cows or sheep. Just one or two.
Or a piece of worn out farming equipment, like a hay trailer or some such.
A run down caravan and some shabby looking horse stables and a couple of horses?
Amazing detail work.
Great work Richard. Might I suggest your meadow would be improved by the inclusion of wild flowers, ie buttercups, cow parsley and thistles etc. Would add a splash of colour.
Yes, that's one of the small jobs I have planned for this area in future. Would also look good around the fences. Cheers
The need to explain why you masked off certain areas was priceless.
You'd be surprised by some of the questions I get asked. Therefore I feel the need to explain everything.
If ever I win the Euro Millions I will have to employ Richard for a few years!! Great work!!
Always love to watch and admire how other people manage to get their model effects
Your attention to detail is fantastic.
Absolutely amazing I look forward to your videos. And after that you know there's a 'but' coming... fence posts are never brown even when new. They are a pale greyish green new and become almost silver grey, and fade into the back ground. The footpath around the field goes into the corner, people never walk to a right angle, they cut the corner. I offer this to help, certainly not criticise, your work is truly excellent.
I'll add that to my list of small jobs left for the scene. Cheers for the advice. There's a few walks local to me were people have cut the corner. Also some where the corners are walked but that might be due to crops or grass length.
Absolutely stunning Richard! That has to be the most realistic scenic break ever modelled by anyone. By creating a bridge that you can see both sides of, rather than just the usual tunnel, it very convincingly gives the illusion there is no scenic break at all and trains out of view carry on for miles in a straight direction past the bridge. Fiddle yard, what fiddle yard?
Was sat at the model railway club when the notification came through, i knew what i was doing as soon as i got home
Great video and the trainspotter on the bridge is a great touch.
Great work. I'm both inspired and a little intimidated by your wonderful eye for detail.
Fantastic work on the fields and foliage, I can image a few crows or a kestrel sitting on the fence posts.
BRILLIANT ,, Richard you are a truly talented man, your layout is Absolutely amazing,, keep em coming ,,THANK YOU 👌
this man is an absolute artist! always a pleasure to watch. the little field looks really true to life
Fantastic as always 👍👍👍👍💯
Mate I've been interested in model trains since I was a kid I'm 52 now still got some of my hornby train sets from the late 70s just thought about getting into modelling but seeing your work mate your an artist it's brilliant I'd love to do something like your set up just don't think I'd have the skill or the patience thing is I used to be a farmer and now I'm a digger driver ,I've got a good eye for landscaping
Looks really good Richard. One thing I would suggest, would be a worn path up from the relay cabinets to where the BR van is!
Hello Richard, as you may recall I have said it before and I am happy to say it again, and that is your attention to detail is outstanding. What you achieve gives the scene a very natural look to a point one could be excused for thinking you are looking at a real life scene. Congrats. Cheers Greg
Awesome Richard, just awesome!
Nice job! Love the detail.
Only thing I can say to all of this. Brilliant. Very well done.
What a master piece!
This was brilliant. You are clearly very talented with the scenery. Loved the running shots at the end. Truly excellent. Thank you for amazing video
WHOA! Steady there Dick old chap... Ease back on the audio gain, if playing rock right from the start of the video... I jumped-out-of-my-skin and so did my hi-fi speakers! And I spilled my tea.... Not good to start a video with a CRASH, especially considering that someone like me, might have been watching another channel which had a lower audio gain level. Not eveyone watches TH-cam on a mobile phone, I watch TH-cam through a lounge entertainment system incorporated into my 37'' (TV) monitor and stereo hi-fi. Please bear that in mind, a little 'fade-in' at the start of audio would suffice. That said - music is good.
.
Now that my pulse has returned to normal... Excellent work on that scenic break, it was exactly how I envisaged it should look, especially the false embankment and all-important ballasting beyond the bridge. The foliage looks fantastic, as does that lovely muddy farm road. Track furniture looks very realistic, as per your research photos and that open field is very authentic.
Superb work as always Richard.
Your attention to detail is fantastic. Farm land maybe some sheep ? Again love the layout workable and detailed. Really great .
Looks great. I see you are famous on the Hornby show over on the yesterday channel with other You Tubes. Thanks for sharing. 👍😀
The scene looks great and the detail as well great job worth all the effort 😀👍
That's the best-modelled field I've ever seen! Well done that man. Time for some cows and cow pats now?!
Brilliant update fella and as always your work is amazing. Oh to have a gram of your skill. Be safe fella
Just superb, points motor and cables are just great, nice touch. I also appreciate the way you describe your how-to. Thanks and stay safe.
Excellent work Richard
Modelling is excellent as others have said . But presentation and filming also top notch...shots long enough to study , fully informed dialogue and no "talking heads" anywhere,
Fantastic music choice. Everything is looking amazing.
Every video just gets better and better. And the commentary and soundtrack is bloody awesome too.
Well played mate, well played!
Absolutely superb!
Fantastic channel and content, never really been into trains and not done model making but this vlogs are so relaxing and interesting.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
It's so realistic, it's like you're there.
Great progress 👌🏻👏🏻
That's sensational.....looks superb.
Very well made and so realistic...this shows a lot of painstaking work and lots of patience....
just bought my first train set thanks to you Flying Scotsman happy new year
This is probably the best layout in the world!
Looking good, congrats on your approach to the model scene and on your TH-cam following
Hello Richard saying hello from Canada
As usual great work👍 really enjoy watching your work
Great job, the bridge looks very good, on timeline 41:25 can you add some muddy water puddles near the tire tracks, will enhance the off road look.
Seeing the excellence of your work I had assumed that you were of a certain age with many years of experience, then I saw you on TV on the Hornby series and realised that you are quite young. If you improve with age, like a fine wine or a good cheese, your future work will be even more wonderful. Difficult to imagine how you could improve on your current skills though.
Cheers, I'm often mistaken for an older chap! Hope to continue improving my skills, always something to learn.
Amazing layout can't wait for the next video. Great to see you on yesterday Hornby. Realy inspiring.
Well done again, as a railway S&T Tech for 30+ years now, as a youngster I remember digging in the orange pipes and then digging them back out lol, it’s lovely to see someone add just a nod to those little everyday details that were everywhere, think you got the right level of detail, as too much can over complicate the scene
When we started using the orange pipe to put the cables through, I suspect that some tamper drivers deliberately aimed for them and must have found it funny to get a direct hit with their prongs.
Great capture of the atmosphere of the time. I probably wore a black Pea-jacket or great-coat with just a hi-vis' vest over it and jeans or trousers. None of this hard hat and "orange everything" back then. The old boy I worked with always wore a flat cap.
Thanks for the info. Certainly a lot of the the pictures and footage I've found shows Jeans with the small hi-vis jacket
I don’t have the time, space or skill to do this, so thanks for continuing to post these so I can enjoy your layout.
WOW, outstanding work. ....Add a few cows or sheep to the field in the farm bridge build
Amazing details and creativity. Perfect steps to get on with your layout. Kind regards, Valentin.
Back in the 1990's i worked for British Rail, during the time of its break up and privatisation. I was privileged during that time to walk the Channel Tunnel Route from Tonbridge to Ashford. Watching the detailing here looks exactly like my experience trackside. Thanks for sharing.
Kudos on your layout. One of the most realistic and convincing I have seen. Great work!!! ----Mike
Absolutely exemplary modelling! It's really coming together and looking stunning. Really well thought out and love the backstory you have for each element.
Top again Richard, love your vids, brilliant mate!!
Worth the wait! Cunning plan with the scenic break and fiddle yard embankment; and the rear embankment and road looks good, too. The field looks splendid. It would definitely suite some horses, I think - there were (and I think possibly still are) some fields with horses alongside the London Paddington to Slough section of the GWML.
Very cleverly done!Not many people take the detail into the fiddle yard,but really makes all the difference, love the fences and when you show what things are like in real life to reflect on the model. Really great!👍🙂
I really appreciate the attention to detail. This is coming along nicely. Great job 👍
I dare say the gent in the orange jacket is looking to see where him and his mate can sit down to have a nice cup of tea and a slice of some home made fruit and nut loaf, after a busy mornings work. Hopefully they won't get to wet, as I expect they have to go out in all weathers. Are there going to be any dog walkers in the field near the railway? I think it looks very realistic, and I admire your eye for detail. Perhaps some of the people living in the multi occupancy housing by the railway, can join a local rambling group, and enjoy some pleasant walks in the countryside.
Add a touch of realism by adding a party of doggers at the far side of the bridge.
Nice video you done. With lots of detail.
a decrepit gypsy wagon would be perfect in the corner of the field. maybe a couple hare hanging out calling it home. everything is looking amazing keep the videos coming, please
Brilliant Richard, so realistic, if I was there as a youngster with my mates I'd be on the bridge or standing on the fence . Keep it up mate .
Brilliant, looks superb.
Very accurate and unique you did a fantastic job making the layout
Always happy to see a new vid in my sub box. Looking forward to many more!
Always a treat to watch the vision come together a bit at a time! Great way to relax with a big cup of coffee and snacks before heading out to keep at my own projects... All the very best from Canada...
Another gobsmacking masterclass, Richard. I admire your attention to detail and the way you think about how you will see it when finished. When to add, when not to add. We always change our views at times, but you have a vision and follow it and add to it as the layers demand it. Well done, as always!
Add an outdoor market with stalls that sell street food and gifts in the empty space intron of the houses, it would maybe involve paving the whole area but it would look good. Instead of paving it it could be a car park so that in winter when the market may not be out it can be used as a car park.
realistic railway modeling, with great depth & perspective!
To the high standard we have all come to know & love,
From my all time favourite railway modeling channel Everard Junction ❤️
One of the best executed non-tunnel scenic breaks I’ve ever seen. Properly thought out, and brilliantly implemented. Well done (as always) Richard.
Thanks, I found it quite tough to achieve. On reflection a tunnel would have been far easier haha. Cheers
Daaaamn son, really seeing some progress. Love it!
Just really great!!! Also, a compliment on your musical queues as well... particularly (in order of my preference): 6:44-7:08; 33:22-33:38; 37:10-37:48 . great job!
Mind blowing. The section of railway is so realistic, your attention to the little details make all the difference. So inspirational. So looking forward to the next update but know the time will be a while. So patient with all this work but the result is fantastic. Thankyou for the videos and the tutorials. Marc
Great stuff. Wire fences need strainer assemblies at each end and a heavier post at each change of direction within a run.otherwise the wire will pull the end posts out when they are tensioned.
Your layout is really coming together.
I'm intrigued to find out how you're going to get the branch line to convincingly disappear behind that back scene, although in this video it appears you seem to have simply just accepted that it would be simpler to leave it underground (which may be the best solution). I liked your previous idea of the horizontal supports over a brick cutting, although it felt like quite an urban construction so perhaps not the right location for it. No doubt the victorians would have stuck to a landscaped cutting in that rural location. I had an idea of a forced perspective cutting going to the horizon, painted onto a soft curtain that trains can pass through. The rail somehow going down a cutting into the distance and that being printed on some kind of cloth or paper strips which the train can push their way through as they break out of the back scene, to give the illusion that the track is going infinitely away (however this would break the illusion when the train broke through the cloth/paper door).
The limitation with my suggestion is of course that it would look best straight on, as is the limitation with forced perspectives in general. But I suppose if the slopes either side were steep enough, the slopes would obscure the view sufficiently so that it could only be noticed straight on.
I recall a system similar at Miniature Wunderland, the aircraft pass through the backscene via some kind of material they can push through th-cam.com/video/5tJn6MSwhFA/w-d-xo.html
Love the look of this very much. I really enjoy seeing your progress here and can't wait to get stuck in on my own layout when I've got more space to make a start. Only suggestion I have is to give the walkers in that field somewhere to go. A set of steps up the embankment from the field to the muddy track with a stile in the fence at the top would look good. You often see these done like you did that step to the relay cabinet. A board with earth piled behind for each step.
Richard brilliant standard of work if i can do half as good i will be happy. but fair shout superb work
As usual great work, I am a driver for LNER at Edinburgh and it was nice to be reminded of a class 91 rolling into the Sub! always a pleasure to watch your uploads!
