I am always looking forward for your next video. I am a track 1 Mania, but you give me a lot of Inspiration for my Diesel work shop with 2 tracks and a working over head crane, welding engineers working under the Lokos with flashing blue leds. Keep going. Kim.
The cork shavings are a brilliant idea, and look very effective where you have used them before.....Oh.....And it's about damn time your layout was featured in a Magazine! It's my favourite layout on TH-cam. Many congratulations, Richard!
You are a great teacher and motivator. Haven't touched my layout in progress in months and will now. Keep up the great work and good luck with the article.
What a difference that made, fits in much better with the rest of the scenery now. Congratulations on the upcoming photoshoot and can't wait to see it and your next layout update.
Hi Rich, while you have done static grass before, this time you can really identify the improvement and skill you have developed, great 'how to' video. Thanks again for sharing your time with us !!
Hello, just wanted to drop by and say congrats! I'm floored by your skills and attention to every detail. I'm into model railroading since my childhood (1970 at the age of 9). Still watched the last steamers in action and even rode an excursion steam train a few years ago. Had three unfinished N scale layouts (this scale was of rather poor quality until the mid 1990s). Switched from West German to North American prototype (PRR, mid 1950s) in the late 1990s, when decent models finally came out. Never made it past a test layout (expensive hobby!). Now I have a nice collection of locos and rolling stock and all sorts of items, packed and stored). Always loved this hobby and always will. I greatly admire people who have the skills and patience to come up with totally convincing layouts - such as yourself. Everything looks just beautiful and even the seemingly mundane, neglected, in-use looks gorgeous if modeled this well and operating this smoothly. Beautiful trackwork, landscaping, weathering, detailing.... Thanks so much for the inspiration! Fine art and craftsmanship at its very best!
Your start and end video snap shots are so real. I also like the speeded up working sections. Glad you are being recognised by Hornby, long time overdue and well deserved. You inspire me all the time. Thank you.Barry. Devon
I have recently returned to Railway Modelling and very grateful for your videos and the amount that I have learned. Your are a master modeller and an inspiration to me in my senior years. Keep the videos coming. I am sure the Hornby shoot will be highly successful and give you the recognition deserved. Best wishes Bruce
A brilliant job as ever. Thanks so very much for taking the time to make these highly instructional videos. They are so very helpful, and I eagerly await the next instalment. I hope that Hornby Magazine do justice when the take their photos, and give the credit this work deserves. Many thanks. Don
Well done that Hornby have taken a interest on your on going project and such reconition .I admire the amount of work that you have done so far. It shall be interesting if BRM will also visit in the forthcoming future. I have saved all Episodes from 1--20 making a DVD to gain afew idea's. Outstanding layout,taken a special interest of the long coach/engine shed.TYou explain things in great detail,plus so easy to follow on each task,step so far. Well done Richard and gongrads, yours sincerely Barry Taylor
No, sorry, I don't know the date, perhaps himself may tell you, I'm not an avid reader, and not in the collectors club. EverardJunction, deserves an article, for his fantastic layout
So pleased to hear your layout is to be in Hornby magazine, you're layout is probably my favourite to watch/keep up to date with. Love tuning in for your latest works and locos. I've even shown you to my sister's fella, he's into model aircraft and the diaramas that follow, he's done some nice ones, but your scenery always looks amazing and has improved year on year, so told him to look at your how to stuff. Keep it up Richard, look forward to the next video as always.
Fantastic work & congrats on the call for the mag. You'll have to let us know here when it is due out in the shops. I don't normally buy model railway mags as I don't have a layout, but I love to see the many video's on youtube to make me dream of owning one at some point in the future. I will for sure but the copy of the mag when you are featured. Well deserved to see your hard work shown.
Congrats on the Magazine Feature!! Well deserved! Love ur videos and Really love ur layout!! Keep up the Videos as they are very helpful! Had my layout for 20 yrs but just recently started redoing it and I've gotten a huge incentive to do more from ur layout and ur how to videos so Thank You and Congrats! Im in the US but will definitely get that issue with u Featured in it!!
Great video as per usual and loads of inspiration for modellers of all standards. Very pleased to know that you'll be in the press and that Everard Junction's great realism will be showcased to a wider audience.
I have been a subscriber to Hornby mag since it started, I look forward to seeing your excellent work given the full treatment. It will be interesting to see how it translates to paper having watched all your videos.Keep on inspiring us all.
It's funny you mention Hornby getting involved as I was going to ask you if you were going to try get the layout in any magazines. Nice one on getting it in :) I'll be looking out for the magazine :)
Superb work mate, great to see you are getting the feature you deserve and I have sat through the video making notes on how to do things, very informative and inspiring, thank-you for sharing with us all, cheers Jack
Excellent "How To" video...Looking forward to the Hornby Magazine issue that will have the photo shoot of your layout.. Keep up the great work.. I've learned a lot from your videos
i love seeing yalls layouts its so inspiring, im not a model train guy im a wargamer and i just love seein g how you guys do things as i want to eventually do a massive layout display. thanks for the inspiration
Yet another interesting and informative video. The high speed attachment for clearing and adding effects is a particularly useful tool. Just need to know where it can be purchased. Looking forward to Hornby Mag next month. Please keep it up.
Nice little tutorial and I look forward to seeing it featured in the Hornby Magazine in the future. The area looks so much better than it did previously which just shows how skills can develop over time. Although im still on the early stages of my layout I also have some of that MiniNatur static grass (It's called silflor in the US) as it looks alot better than some of the more well known european brands and not too glossy. Cheers, Michael
Good stuff Richard.... Not seen any of your videos or any model rail videos for such a long time and it was nice to see what your up to. Hope all is well with you mate. Terry
+Glebe Road Junction Hi Terry. Good to hear from you. The layout is going well, been doing loads of odd jobs recently. I hope you can get your house move sorted. Would be good to see you back at work on a layout. Cheers
The scene looked good at the begin but I see your point of changing the area. It gives the layout some new life after looking the same for years. Your method of removing the material from plywood is good but when foam is used more care is needed not to rip it up. You must be excited about the up coming picture layout with Hornby.Scott
Hi Richard, I have been watching your layout progress for some time but was not signed up to TH-cam so have not been able to comment until now. Your layout is very atmospheric and I really enjoy watching your videos. Congrats on the call up to Hornby mag. Regards. John
Excellent as I've come to expect. Especially like the method of "digging up" the old scenery - very easy. Would wish you luck with the photo shoot, but it's not really necessary - it looks good from every angle.
Congrats on Hornby! TH-cam updates failed me and i am just now catching up on your most recent (two) update videos. Regarding this one what comes to mind is, "the transience of life and happiness (and model scenery)" ; p
You should add cuts in the concrete, like what they do to stop large areas of concrete from cracking. Maybe add some oil spills on it as well. Looks really good though.
I see sometimes at various areas where rail(s) are sometimes moved a bit and there is an indication of where they were recently. Just a thought, but maybe one or two items laying in the grass after you did the landscaping could be either removed or moved over onto the recently layed terrain, leaving the original area showing where the item was when all the grass grew up. Might make it feel a tad more dynamic. Anyways, just a thought. Your layout is awesome, keep up the good work.
I would love to see realistic length point work. I have seen it scratch built, amazing to see but just a couple of points are huge space wise, Amazing skills you have.👍
I am planning a layout and it was going to be strictly BR blue era, but seeing the Class 47 at 24:43 makes me want to expand my timeframe. It looks fantastic, Can you do a video on its weathering?
the concrete looks beige and not grey, top tip from me, fit a 12 or 14cm pc fan blowing on to the long grass parts, it really ups the realism, you can even buy 40/50mm fans for directional grass blowing effects, these can be fitted under the baseboard blowing upwards over the grass, simply connect the fans to your digital controller to control speeds you can even set them to random speeds, this method also works for flags to make them blow in the wind
1. Has Everard Junction appeared in Railway Modeller yet? If so, which issue? 2. I recall your building spirals and wonder if you could give me a link to that video/those videos please?
Layout looks so good and rightly so hornby have recognised it. Hope the photo shoot goes well. I think the scenery looks great and what long grass strands did you use from that minature company or what colours are the similar too
Hi Richard, good video. no grass/weeds around buffer stops. the concert looks too white (could be my old computer). grass area far better. Now got to wait for HORNBY magazine, which issue will in? I have finned out a few of my subscriptions as there layouts are static, but yours is evolving
Great video as usual. Very enlightening. Can you advise where you got the cork shavings from? Have checked eBay & done a general internet search but to no avail.
Congrats on the Hornby article, just one question though... Why loose rusty wheels? i was at Longsight TMD the other day and saw no loose rusty wheels, think there was a bit of unlaid track, but no wheels. I saw wheelsets awaiting dispatch (where i work overhauls and supplies new) they were the Virgin pendo's. They have the most beautiful 08 shunter there too, the 'Longsight TMD'
First of all congratulations on Hornby Model Railways coming to do a photo shoot. Have I just had a flash back to the 80's that just sounds like a real station with a 47 pulling the train? I 'd be intrigued to know whether you have used a DCC sound card or whether is was a sound recording of a real 47 pulling out of a station? I hope Hornby copy the start of this video it is excellent, you've upped the bar on your previous night time shoot! Thanks for the video on re-turfing the layout it looks far more realistic than the unkempt meadow, it just goes to show you can have an excellent result when you put in the soil too, just to a joy to watch the skill coming to the fore.
+Bill McKelvie The intro uses a recording of a real class 47 dubbed over the clip in the video editor. It takes a fair bit of editing to get it right. Always fun to do though. Thanks
A great video Richard - I'm looking forward to the Hornby Magazine item. One question - your cork shavings - where did they come from? Could you use Wood.Scenics course ballast and then paint it?
Looks good as always. Question: do I notice correctly that you did not change any of the Peco points, i.e. improve them by removing the spring and its casing and shortening the sleepers and tie bar etc.? I am now ready to lay the track of my main station, i.e. track that will be in view and am seriously considering making the points a bit more realistic. Although in the end the whole layout is a nice fantasy, so why bother. But afterwards will be a pain, so now is consideration time. Regards.
Greeting from Romania. Yet another great instructional video mate. Can you please detail a bit where can one get cork shavings because I really have no clue at all. I tried making it myself but only with marginal succes :( In th mean time please keep up the goo work and keep 'em comin' ;)
Brilliant video. I am about to start playing with scenery myself. Where did you get your supply of Woodland Scenic shakers from? I usually use Hattons but they don't seem to have the same colours you have. Cheers. Ben
+Ben Tompkinson All my woodland scenics stuff has come from hattons over the years. If you browse the site by manufacturer you should be able to find all the shakers.
great video, your stabling point looks far too clean and tidy! think the concrete needs weathering. Also the edging of the concrete tends to crumble into the grass rather than a neat edge.. just a suggestion! Thanks for the tips now ive started on my new layout.
I am always looking forward for your next video. I am a track 1 Mania, but you give me a lot of Inspiration for my Diesel work shop with 2 tracks and a working over head crane, welding engineers working under the Lokos with flashing blue leds. Keep going. Kim.
The cork shavings are a brilliant idea, and look very effective where you have used them before.....Oh.....And it's about damn time your layout was featured in a Magazine! It's my favourite layout on TH-cam. Many congratulations, Richard!

Congratulations on the Hornby Magazine photoshoot. Well deserved. Excellent videos over the past few years - I've watched each one at least twice

Looks awesome, Rich. Well done
Very nice video.......and big respect from Zagreb/Croatia!
Congrats on your future article to appear in the Hornby magazine, will have to make sure I pu a copy when published.

Great news on HM wanting to feature you. It's well earned.
wonderful as ever ! its good to see even the experts get it wrong the first time !
Well done. Congrats on the photo shoot!
Hello Everard. It looks very realistic from small changes are always possible
Congrats on getting the layout in the mag!!
I realy must get Banks road in mag soon🚂
WOW! that looks REALLY GOOD! I really like how you used fine cork chippings as soil! I can't wait to see you in HORNBY MAGAZINE!
Great stuff. Wonderful tips, as usual.
fantastic stuff, loving the layout awesome about hornby mag well done!

lovely video, the layout is going from strength to strength! may I request a little guide somewhere on what you do with the diecast cars?
Great work! Looks very realistic. Thank you for the detailed tutorial!
too fascinating - I am stuck on an Everard junction sofa marathon.
bloody brill video mate , well done .
Excellent job. Very nice!
Nice improvement, it's really better than the previous! :) I hope you will upload the next video soon!
Looking good I hope the photo shoot goes well
another well presented video
Brilliant intro, as usual.
salve ! do u have a video how to whathe ring the rail tracks before balasting thme ? thnx !
1. Has Everard Junction appeared in Railway Modeller yet? If so, which issue?
2. I recall your building spirals and wonder if you could give me a link to that video/those videos please?

I saw wheelsets awaiting dispatch (where i work overhauls and supplies new) they were the Virgin pendo's. They have the most beautiful 08 shunter there too, the 'Longsight TMD'
I will be swapping the wheels for some other stuff once painted and weathered. I used wheels as it's what I had to hand at the time.
First of all congratulations on Hornby Model Railways coming to do a photo shoot. Have I just had a flash back to the 80's that just sounds like a real station with a 47 pulling the train?

Another brilliant video man. did anyone else notice the image quality drop as soon as the applicator was turned on?
What about some sort of fence or border between the concrete and the grass? Good work
+Her0icFern (TD5) I used to have one but it spoiled the view of the locos in the yard so I removed it.
When you used the cork would fine saw dust work?
Great video , well explained also
The best!!! 👌👏👍👍👍
A great video Richard - I'm looking forward to the Hornby Magazine item. One question - your cork shavings - where did they come from? Could you use Wood.Scenics course ballast and then paint it?
+Barry Clayton Javis Scenics make the chippings. I use the extra fine one. Only costs £1 per bag of chippings.
Nice one mate hope the photo shoot goes well :)
I've redone some of my layout,working next to clapham yard for the real railway belps
Great job. Thanks for sharing - looks awesome now. ;o)
great job,you make it look easy
Great video Richard
Cheers
love the vids, really appreciate the effort.
inspiring stuff.
any idea how to create litter effect, it is the 80s.....
again, great stuff, thankyou.
Looks good as always.
Question: do I notice correctly that you did not change any of the Peco points, i.e. improve them by removing the spring and its casing and shortening the sleepers and tie bar etc.? I am now ready to lay the track of my main station, i.e. track that will be in view and am seriously considering making the points a bit more realistic.
Although in the end the whole layout is a nice fantasy, so why bother. But afterwards will be a pain, so now is consideration time. Regards.
Greeting from Romania. Yet another great instructional video mate.
Can you please detail a bit where can one get cork shavings because I really have no clue at all. I tried making it myself but only with marginal succes :(
In th mean time please keep up the goo work and keep 'em comin' ;)
Where did you get the speed limit signs from
excellent improvement. The original waste ground looked good until you showed the later work. Congratulations on being contacted by Hornby Magazine.
Brilliant video. I am about to start playing with scenery myself. Where did you get your supply of Woodland Scenic shakers from? I usually use Hattons but they don't seem to have the same colours you have. Cheers. Ben
+Ben Tompkinson All my woodland scenics stuff has come from hattons over the years. If you browse the site by manufacturer you should be able to find all the shakers.
great video, your stabling point looks far too clean and tidy! think the concrete needs weathering. Also the edging of the concrete tends to crumble into the grass rather than a neat edge.. just a suggestion! Thanks for the tips now ive started on my new layout.
Wow Glebe road and now you my two long term railways iv followed can't believe.
Do a video of hornby showing them photographing you and other stuff
