Building A Shunting Layout | Scratch Built Engine Shed | Ep12

With a tight space left on this compact layout called for a custom build for the engine shed. The model railway is taking shape and with the addition of this scratch built building the last of the main structures are together.

Love the bite sized video format with interesting tips and tricks. The magnets further roof and other buildings is a great idea.

Like this especially the square grid as this gives me an idea for building a large two sided oval with squares marked for scenery and figure, vehicles etc....like a plan, you're easy ideas are stimulating, great stuff.

From one Tris to another, I am so grateful to you for this series. I am currently undergoing treatment for colorectal cancer and this has given me the inspiration to build my first layout/diorama and give me something to keep me occupied on the days that I’m unable to go to work. I can’t thank you enough, keep up with the excellent work ❤

[@OONeal]

I’m sorry you are going through this, I hope you do start a layout and get some pleasure from such a project to take your mind off things. Take care and get well 🙏🏻

[@MartinLong-y1b]

I hope your treatment is working I have a serious medical condition I Watch these guys for ii so I can get back to my modeling 😁 I wish you well

[@wizmerlin8546]

@@MartinLong-y1b thank you. My treatment is going well so far, I hope you’re doing as well as I am, stay strong and good luck ♥️

Hi, The layout is coming along nicely. The word you were looking for for the piece across the door is Lintel. Keep up the good work.

[@markvickery4032]

Hi Tris, It's a very nice building well made quality job lovely finish really enjoying these videos best regards Mark

[@shironspiller9058]

I look forward to seeing each of your little video's , your so good at doing all detailing and the little touches - Magnificent ! - Thank You Kris. The name of the beam over the entrance that you could not think of is called a Lintel.

[@shironspiller9058]

Hi Tris - Sorry I put Kris - it's late into the night !🌛

[@UndergroundEric]

Beams are a nice touch, aswell as the magnets. Good idea

[@MrTumnus1987]

Notice a bottle of Two Thin Coats paints in addition to those Citadels & Vallejo’s…a man of taste I see!🤌 Awesome video, really great seeing how this layout is developing in stages like this! Well done tris!

[@alexmorgan2296]

Superb - always enjoy these instructive videos. Lots of good ideas. Thank you for sharing

[@ericsainte290]

The top beau on doors and windows is called a lintel while the Stone o the bottom is a sill (windows) or step (door). What I find lacking is sills on the windows. Just gluing some 1 mm styrene strip and painting them stone grey should do the trick. But still, love the roof beams on the inside. You could also have created triangular frames with the I beams and add the top ridge beam between them and the walls. Keep up the good work. This layout gets better at each video and inspires me a lot to create a N scale variant.

great vlog always love learning new ideas

[@NicholassTrainChannel]

Nice job on the engine shed Tris. The I beams are a nice touch of realism. The magnets are a good idea for holding the roof down. - Nicholas.

[@brianrobinson2962]

Looking awesome mate

[@gordonhumphris5420]

Tris. Put the small building on the back if you’ve got room. A little work shop is a necessity!!

[@shanetropman9804]

I've been watching these over the new year, and honestly I'm psyching myself up to build one of my own. Very informative videos! And a nice 'guide' for the beginners like myself!

[@OONeal]

Excellent, I’m glad it’s making an impact 😊

[@musoseven8218]

Very enjoyable Tris✌️👍😊

[@CastleHillLightRailway]

Another great video Tris - love the way that engine shed came together and I LOVE the I bars inside - nice touch - when you are adding your gutters etc, don't forget to add a couple of open doors on the front, hung just above the rails to help keep the 03 nice and cosy on freezing cold nights like tonight 😉

[@Kevin-mm5ix4dc7y]

Excellent progress Tris really enjoying this series, many thanks

[@neilstephen6761]

A superb shed . I enjoy your videos immensely.

[@grahamsmith5847]

Another great video Tris. Really informative for a beginner like me! It really helps knowing what paint to use (acrylic) etc. along with the techniques. Very enjoyable to watch.

[@anthonyfisher-7090]

Honestly when i saw the thumbnail i genuinely thought it was a Skaledale building it looked that good

[@railwayjade]

Fantastic, thank you! This looks achievable!

[@AnTiG1ZM0]

Extra little building on a shed, is always the workshop/tea break room

[@locomotionlotion779]

Lovely little shed!

[@johnneal9296]

Nice shed

[@johnlambert2970]

Another great episode. Like the magnet idea for the roof. Can you disguise the join on the ends of the walls with downpipes?

[@gwrtromsoe]

This was a good video. I really like the way you detailed it with beams and magnets! I wish I was confident enough to go with scratch building. I have a craftsman kit from Wills that I never finished

[@jerrystamps]

I really like the engine shed, looks great.

[@StarWarsJay]

Hi mate. Love the videos. Thanks 😊. Quick question if I may? So I’m new to the Hobby. I bought all the track packs for the Hornby track mat layout and I’ve found I have a spare 60cm on my baseboard. Could I add a few straights to the layout (before the curves) to fill up the extra space, or would I need more power? Hope that makes sense 😂. All the best, Jason.

[@simon.revill]

Don’t forget some window cills 😀

[@MrWizardtrains]

Hi Tris, brilliant video again, one thing crossed my mind having seen a while ago your 3D printed station - is there any reason for not using 3D printing here? Did you find any problems with 3D printing or is it just a desire to use different methods? Thanks again for the content, always look out for your posts.

[@goforitpainting]

Cool 🏡

[@ianstewartbrown5308]

I like to add tiny spots white paint to my roofs to represent bird droppings

[@ianstewartbrown5308]

The piece over the door is a Lintel

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

Good video thanks lee

[@peelben]

Nice, but this is the third vid in a row I've watched tonight with "scratch" in the title that didn't feature a scratch build.

[@davidhall5868]

OO Neal, Have you heard that hattons model railway shop closing down

[@Myteaplease]

where to get the high beams from
