- A Brand New Layout - Part 1
This week I made a start on my new layout. The old one is not going anywhere however, and I’ll hopefully be able to combine footage from both to make some interesting videos.
This new layout is an end to end L shape, with a small three road storage yard. After pre-building many of the structures over the last few weeks, I started by laying down some baseboards, nailing down some track and wiring up. Following this, I gave everything a thorough test using my worst performing locos and ironed out any kinks.
It was then a matter of filling in the gaps in the sleepers and making a start on the platforms. There are foam board, with Will’s stone sheet sides stuck on with plaster. In the next video I’ll create the platform surfaces using the same stuff.
That’s about it for this week. A good start I reckon!
As always, thanks for watching. - บันเทิง
I've been in this hobby for more than fifty years and I've never thought to build platforms this way! Brilliant idea!!!
Thanks!
This is so great to watch. I am returning after half a century to the craft of model railway building. Planning stage at the moment but video really got me thinking. Thank you for the inspiration and looking forward to catching up on your new layout journey.
Thank you - glad you found it useful 👍🏻
There's a lot of really useful tips here Thank you Excellent work
Glad you found it useful 👍🏻
This guys modelling skills is what I aspire to have when I’m older
Why do you want to wait so long?
Thank you kind sir.
@@kummer-racefield8052 because I’m 17 and my dad said he’s not moving his pool table lol
No kidding. So do I
@@gabrieljoson5471 build it on the pool table.
Blimey Lewis, there’s no hanging about with the new layout, it’s going to be another fabulous one. Paul
Thank you Paul, appreciate it.
So very glad The Dales are staying. Great to be in at the birth of the new layout. Looking forward to this.
Thanks Dave, me too!
Thanks for sharing Lewis.......Best wishes......Bob
Thanks Bob!
Like many, saw the empty baseboard thumbnail and read the title and panicked. Then I read the description and relaxed. It's going to be a great journey. The Dales were mostly up when I joined the channel, so seeing your start from scratch will be quite fun. Great fun to see! Best wishes!
Thanks Anthony, sorry to have panicked you! Hope you like the rest of the build.
dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can stream all the latest movies on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend during the lockdown xD
@Calvin Tobias yup, been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself :D
I can sense already that this layout is going to be something to behold.
Can’t wait to see more.
Regards .... Steve 👍👍👍
Thanks Steve, appreciate it!
very interesting to see the very start of a layout , thank you Sir :)
Thank you!
You make it look so easy.
Thanks!
I mostly enjoy and get inspired by your videos! Pure perfection. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching, glad you like them 👍🏻
Great to see a master at work, you make it all look so easy.
Thank you Rob, glad you liked it.
NEVER CLICKED ON ANYTHING SO FAST! 😂
Ha, cheers Jason!
Thank you for sharing your work so well done
Thanks Peter 👍🏻
Good luck with your new layout enjoying the videos
Thanks Julian 👍🏻

HC Treintje Herman from Belgium.
Thank you 👍🏻
@@MouldyRaspberry no thanks, i love yor video's!!
Wow, absolutely brilliant
Thanks Barry!
looking forwards to part 2
Cheers David 👍🏻
Must say fantastic video and what a lovely station building and goods shed
Thank you, they’re laser cut kits you can get on eBay.
@@MouldyRaspberry Lewis, I've bought one of these. Did you add texture plastercard before or after putting together. I can't seem to get mine right!
looks brilliant so far, love the buildings.
Thank you 👍🏻
It will be really fascinating to watch it all from the beginning. I've been a tremendous admirer of your skills as a modeler, and I too have to admit that for a second I thought something had happened to the old layout, or you had thrown in the towel and started from scratch. I've done it, so, it was a relief that the original will be staying put. One of the most beautifully detailed layouts I've ever seen. This will be fun to watch and a great opportunity to learn.
Thank you, that’s very kind of you. Yes I’m pleased to say the old layout is staying! Hope you like the rest of this series then.
Love to see this continued with scenery as a video with how you do these amazing things.
Thank you 👍🏻
being able to catch a layout build from the beginning is great to see! i can't wait to see the progression that is made!
Thank you, I hope you like the rest of the build!
Loving the buildings on the layout they look incredible. Keep up the great work such an inspiration watching your videos got me back into it, can't wait to see the next one :)
Cheers Ed, appreciate it.
truly amazing video and can't wait to see the combined footage from both layouts
Thank you, I’m looking forward to making that video!
Watching with interest, great start👍
Thanks Paul👍🏻
Like the others, I was thinking NO!!!!!!! Glad you kept the other one.
So am I!
When I saw this I got really excited and made my wife watch it - but she still won't let me build a layout around the living room! I shall just have to settle for watching this new project blossom into something fantastic
Haha just keep pestering away and play the long game! Thank you, appreciate it 👍🏻
So far I am really liking this approach, it makes so much more sense. Good stuff!
Thanks, glad you liked it. 👍🏻
Superb Lewis looking forward to this mate
Thanks Steve 👍🏻
Great video, looking forward to seeing it develop into another awesome layout
Thanks Stephen!
Once again I am speechless at how easy you make it look so inspiring what a great way to make platforms really looking forward to watching this grow
Thanks Benjamin, that’s very kind of you!
Really looking forward to seeing the layout evolve . Looks great already
Thanks Leo, appreciate it.
Ahh this is great. It will be a beautiful layout i can already picture it.
Thank you 😀
Really enjoyed the video. It already has a sense of atmosphere and you've just started. Looking forward to the next instalment
Thanks Malcolm. Hope you like the rest of the build.

Excellent, looking forward to watching this grow. I'm sure we'll all be able to learn a thing or two atb Andy
Cheers Andy!
I’ve spent days Trying to find a good layout build. I have finally found one. Thanks 🤩
Thank you 😀
Looks very good so far, I'm looking forward to this new layout series, your Yorkshire Dales layout still one of my top YT favourites - thanks Paul
Thank you Paul 👍🏻
Wow, can't wait to see more. Thanks! Bob z. Erie, Pa USA!
Thanks Bob 👍🏻
Oh yes! I look forward to following your progress Lewis.
You and me both! Thank you.
Wonderful stuff Lewis! Love watching you build up landscaping, you make it look so easy and relaxing, look forward to seeing this new layout develop. Cheers Steve
Thanks Steve! Hope you like the rest of the build.
WOW! Fantastic to watch an modelling artist at work. 👍🍺cheers .
Thanks David!
Damn. Excellent work.
Thanks Larry.
Looking great so far if the attic layout is anything to go bye this is going to be awesome can't wait to see it develop
Thank you 👍🏻
Hello!
Like every body else I’m just in awe of your skills!
Thanks Ross!!!
Very jealous you can have a second layout. Can’t wait to see how it progresses. The station will be awesome. Love the buildings you’re using too. 👍👍
Thank you, they’re laser cut kits you can get on eBay.
Really looking forward to this build, learning so many modelling techniques already,
Cheers Morgan 👍🏻
Well done Lewis, glad you have found the space to create a wonderful railway project , you make look so easy, can’t wait to see it finished. G.🚂🚂🇬🇧
Thanks Big G, always appreciate it 😀
That was a stunning masterclass, nothing said, but everything abundantly clear. Marvellous. Love the way you constructed the platforms.
Thank you, appreciate it.
Fascinating to watch. Best wishes to you.
Hugh. 👍👋☕️☕️
Thanks Hugh 👍🏻
So wonderful to see a new project underway! Really enjoyed that and can't wait for the next installment. Your techniques are great to watch; very "matter of fact" modelling! Thanks for posting!!
Thank you, appreciate it. Hope you like the rest of the build!
This should be fun...all the best.
Thanks Tim!
The idea of starting off a dream, to scale railway! Brilliant work - you make it look so easy - very keen to see how this progresses!
Thank you, appreciate it 👍🏻
@@MouldyRaspberry Re-watching this as a roof leak has destroyed part of my Metcalfe platforms sadly, so going for a different approach to rebuilding. What width foam do you use, as you use 3 layers of it?
I knew you was up to something, and no trusses to impede you. The Terminus is massive. 👍🥳💫
Thanks Tim - much better for my head this layout, not so much the knees though with it being so low down! Hope you like the rest of the build.
So looking forward to this. 👍
Cheers Eric 👍🏻
As a loyal admirer I will also follow with interest. The smooth curves are perfect! - thank you for sharing your new layout and relieved to read the old will always be there! Regards from Spain!!
Thank you, hope you like the rest of the build 😀
Following with great interest...regards, Chris
Cheers Chris 👍🏻
This is like watching "Joy of Painting" with Bob Ross. No matter what you do, it's what should have been done. Looking forward to Part 2.
Thank you Rob, appreciate it!
Wow, a new layout MR, looking forward to watching from scratch, haven’t worked on mine for ages due to other projects, so thanks for giving me drive to get back to it 👍👍🚂
Thanks Ivan, hope you like the rest of the build. 😀
I really like this kind of stations ! Reasonable cost in hardware and room, nice to see, very realistic and full of operating potential. It's an excellent example of the "little is great" trend of UK modellers you illustrate here, and that's my way of thinking too.
In short, nice idea that looks promising. I won't miss the next episodes, you can bet on it !
Thanks Olivier. It’s nice to have a smaller project to really go to town on the detail. Hope you like the rest of the build.
I think I‘m thinking too much about my layout. I should just start with it 😁
Well done 👍
Thanks - yep it’s very easy to over think it. I say just go for it!
Been waiting for this for along time lewis will watch later keep up with the good work
Thanks Ian, hope you like it.
The doctor prescribed me new pills yesterday and I felt a little bit off this morning when I woke up I made a coffee jumped on TH-cam and seen this at the top of my screen and suddenly thought I was having some sort of bad reaction to the new meds..good one Lewis
Haha sorry to have cussed you distress! 😂 I should have given some warning this was coming.
Don’t worry Lewis there was no distress I just thought I was tripping out
I wish I had some pills apart from watching Lewis building a layout I’ve had enough of TH-cam railway
@Jack Warner go away, you're scared of science
Hi Lewis , I would like to say thanks , on behalf of the many railfans out here , to you , Jen and Zoe , Sam , Will@intercity82 , Model Railway Guy , Tris at OONeal , Barrie Davis and all the other rail oriented sites who keep us in touch and entertained during this lockdown . We thank you and look forward to your posts .. Wales UK
Thanks Fred, glad you enjoy the videos!
bloody awsome
Thanks Phillip!
Man, you make track laying look so effortless! Glad you've started this, gives me inspiration for my shed layout. I'm working with the track straight down on the board like this and building scenics around and above. Looking forward to next installment 👏
Thanks David. Best of luck with it. I’ve always just gone straight onto the baseboard - some people don’t like the noise but I like the rumble as the train passes.
@@MouldyRaspberry agreed. What I was getting at though is that on Yorkshire Dales you built a lot of track above the base level and scenery below?
This should be interesting; glad your keeping the original one. Hope it gose well.
Thank you 👍🏻
As usual you amaze with your vision and skills. Quite surprised that the point/signaling rodding went in so early in the build. Like others in the comments, I eagerly await more. Thanks Lewis, David.
Thanks David, always appreciate it. I hope you like the rest of the build!
I can’t believe you have space for another layout, you are so lucky 🍀 and me as well because I’m going to enjoy every video of it! Really looking forward to the freight section! Best wishes!
Thank you! Hope you like the rest of the build.
It's amazing what you did in a week. If I did that in a few months, I'd still consider it fast for my speed!
Haha thank you!
I haven’t done that much in the last 3 years just sit watch can’t be bothered with any of it .
a good start indeed.
Thanks Thomas 👍🏻
You make it look so easy, those platforms well who’d have thought? I got some plywood and3x2 then thought it may be too heavy. I suppose not then. Thanks for posting, David.
Thanks David. Yeah I reckon you could use that, I just went for foam board because it’s easy to cut but ply would probably work great as well.
I've been SO looking forward to seeing this Lewis. Those buildings look fantastic - this promises to be a scenic delight, which all of us are hanging on. Certainly I have the greatest respect for ALL railway modellers, BUT, the seemingly effortless way you obtain such extreme realism and atmosphere with your work, kinda makes the elite fine scale brigade's extreme 'finickidyness' look, well, kinda - - -- - - - - - - you know what I mean. Teresa FLR
Someone told me to watch this channel and I was mortified when I saw the botched up looking way things were being done. Now I cannot wait to see the next upload and this new layout is sure to be one of the best there is on youtube. Hopefully another layout of the year in Hornby mag. The results are stunning and make me wonder why I bother with my finickness when building my own scenery. I am by no means a rivet counter fine scale brigade but sometimes feel I take too much care to make things when I could use the methods shown here and get results that look just as good or better than my own.
@@cedarcam I know exactly what you are saying and I'm so glad you could see what I am getting at here. God forbid that I should offend anyone, but having returned to trying to model a landscape that just happens to have a railway line running through it - well, lets say my 70+ year old eyes can't do what they once did. Lewis sets us a fine example - Teresa
@@landsnailproject2875 I did wonder if I should post my comment for the reason you say. Lewis has great talent I love watching the loco weathering ones as well and have had a go myself with one of my diesel boxes after watching how the one on this channel turned out. Class 27
Thanks guys. What ever works for you I guess. I definitely wing it and just hope for the best, which seems to work okay but I absolutely appreciate the better, more professional ways of achieving the same thing! That’s definitely where I get much inspiration from. Hope you’ll enjoy the rest of the build.
@@MouldyRaspberry I really will and am going to recommend a new starter to the hobby to be inspired by you. You show you do not need to spend a fortune on scenery to get great results Cat litter walls Cheap paints and ice coffee stirrer sticks are sure to feature in future updates
This looks really promising
Thanks Steve.
Good eye. Rule of thumb. My kind of modelling. If only had the eye and thumb! The back and the knees would help too! Brilliant, thanks.
Ha thank you! Glad you liked it 👍🏻
good update and running trains
Thanks!
This is fun!
Thanks Frank 👍🏻
Lewis, great to visit a developing plan in action.
Your existing YT library of videos cataloguing the history of various iterations of your much loved YDMR, will be complemented by future such episodes in this additional project.
Great to see you develop more opportunities on your interesting and innovative layout. P
Thank you peter, always appreciate it. I hope you like the rest of the build and the eventual running viedos once it's finished.
I still love your enthusiasm, and it is not every day you see tracks being layed by the help of cutting nippers!
Thank you!
cool 👍👍👍
Thank you 👍🏻
@@MouldyRaspberry welcome 🙂
Exciting to watch the creation of a new layout .( Move all the furniture into the middle of the room and build the tracks behind it ....................................? sounds like a plan .)😍😍
Haha cheers Fred!
Like all the other people commenting, I was alarmed when I saw “new layout “ but your explanation in the description and in your replies to the comments has been excellent. I will watch with eager interest for further updates. Thanks for sharing. Roy.
Thanks very much Roy, hope you like the rest of the build 👍🏻
Looks great so far Lewis,
Definitely had to read the description in panic as the dales layout is by far my favourite on TH-cam. Glad to see it’s spawned a junior layout and back to the roots of the YDMR too.
If I hadn’t been following the YDMR for the years I have you’d never knew it too started as an end to end layout.
Best of luck on the new build mate I eagerly await the next instalment.
Regards,
Ross.
Thanks Ross, appreciate it. I sometimes forget that as well! It’s nice to have both. Hope you like the rest of the build.
This is going to be another great layout I can see already how good the flowing curves look. I think it is great having it as a part of the loft layout an idea I used on my two layouts which are also completely separate but some trains run through both on video to make it look like one huge layout
Thanks, that’s definitely the plan and I’ve tried to make this one pretty easy to film. Can’t wait to be able to film it properly 😀
@@MouldyRaspberry I bet you can't wait. That was something I thought about more as well when I built Glenkerr With the open view you should be able to get some good tracking shots
Wow! Very exciting! I’ve so many questions. But.....I will let the future episodes answer my questions. I’m very excited about this. Great. See ya next time.
Thanks Norman. Hope you like the upcoming videos!
It will be interesting to see how long it takes before you start adding bits at one end or the other - something I seem to remember from the history of the one in the loft! Keep them coming!!!
That’s a good point Peter, I’m already wondering the same thing myself and I haven’t even finished this section yet!
The track plan is simple yet open so much possibilities as adding an engine shed near the signal box and a small dock or a coal dealer on the track in front of said signal box... can't wait to see how it will progress, and it inspire me to fight harder to overcome the health issues I am facing (as of now I am stuck in bed, unable to walk or even stand, and can only stay seated for a short time - my actual best being 20 minutes) to be able to finally start my dream layout in my future new adapted home.
Thank you Eric, glad you liked it. Sorry to hear that, hope you’re on the mend soon and can start your layout mate.
"Everything new makes the wonderful MAY!" :-) Hi Lewis: "A new layout" ...WOW.... nice video! Greetings from the german alps out of my little Z-scale workshop, Olli
Thanks Olli, appreciate it.
Awesome Lewis!! I hope you will keep your original layout! Cheers Onno.
Thanks Onno! Yep the old one is staying.
No, few it's another layout my heart stop when I thought you were starting again. It is nice to see how you start from the bare board on you other layout lol. Bye for now, take care, stay safe, and have fun.
Sorry to panic you Carl! Thanks, you as well.
Exciting!
Very exciting!
