DERESLEY TOWN PLANNING Pt 2

[@scottmcneil1150]

always a pleasure to watch your high standard of creative building and railway operation, David, Best wishes.

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks Scott, much appreciated ... David

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Nice job on the buildings you built from scratch as well... Very realistic appearance!!

[@jackharrison6771]

Thanks for another good one David. I like the way you persisted with that odd roof detail. That Memorial will also look well. As 'Remembrance' should be year round, I took the liberty in posting the first War Poem I had published, to mark your new addition. POPPIES IN A FIELD. Poppies in a field, for the boy no longer here; he sailed for the Western Front without any fear. Peaceful was the image in his head that day; just turned twelve, as he lay in the newly cut hay. And now turned fourteen, he's gone, having lied about his age; Recruiting Sergeants didn't care, as the boy signed the page. So many of these boys, joined up, forsaking favourite toys; Like Pied Pipers, the call of the guns led them to the noise. A hundred years ago this morning; he left his trench, the July day was dawning. They trample the Poppies all around; as allied shells and mortar, pound the German ground. Quickly over the top he went, the Officer was keen to teach; but the bullet with his name on it, was not yet in the breech. "Not too fast, keep the line straight"; he heard the Lieutenant’s call, not daring then to wait. Across the broken ground they stare; resilient Poppies still defiant, here and there. He passed what resembled Tommy Mc'Aid; still missing from last night's trench raid. They tread the hell of 'No-man's Land', the gallant lines progress; among them, blasts artillery shells, causing shell shock and distress. Then Private Muller from the Rhine, replaced the magazine; the bullet with his name on it, the boy had never seen. And now our boy has fallen in the same old way; The French field reminds him of that newly cut hay. He'll never get a chance to write; to explain to grieving parents, "it's alright". His blood now feeds the Poppies here; Poppies in that field, for the boy no longer here. By JACK D. HARRISON. 2016. (In memory of Grandad, who spent time on the Somme; and to the 250,000 boys who raised their age; to get into The Great War].

[@davidhyde4329]

Hello Jack. Thanks for sending such a wonderful and moving poem. I have my Grandparent's, and now my Father's and my uncle's war medals, together with a few family medals that were left to them. I am now custodian of all my family honors, medals, letters and photographs - we are living through bad times at the moment - but nothing can compare. Thanks again. (I have only just replied because - for some reason- it was filtered into my spam file. I will need to check this more often). Thanks, and apologies again ... David

[@jackharrison6771]

@@davidhyde4329 You're welcome. That must look quite a sight, all laid out by name. I remember sitting on Mum's Dad's knee as he rolled his ciggies for the day; he served on The Somme. Dad's Dad was on the Channel boats carrying troops and dispatches etc. He died early, so never knew him, but they were both in the Great War. I must say I haven't seen many Layouts include memorials like yours, yet they are part of who we are, and were. Keep them coming, and stay well. Jack.

[@tonyhancock8479]

Hi David. The effort that you put into the stepped roof was well worth it. It does look very good.

[@davidhyde4329]

Hi Tony, thanks for your comments - glad you liked to roof - I felt it was worth it too ... David

[@omeaga27]

Love what you are doing , learning and getting inspiration for my own scratch builds .

[@davidhyde4329]

Many thanks, lovely comment, glad it helps ... David

[@FredWilbury]

Very nice build David .... modelling with commitment I feel..... regards Fred

[@davidhyde4329]

Hi Fred, many thanks for kind comment, glad you liked it ... David

[@GalgormHall]

Hi David, I was talking to another modeller about your scratch building just the other week so it’s great to see it back in the flesh, so to speak. The little shop with its ‘kicked out’ roof oozes character and as you say was well worth the effort to go that extra mile to replicate it. Looking forward to more progress on this and your a dinky restoration projects. Paul

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks Paul, much appreciated. Glad you like the railway and Dinky comment ... David

[@medwaypeninsulaMR]

Hi David nice to see the railway back on screen and I do enjoy watching the scratch builds as its amazing what folks like Paul at Galgoram and yourself produce. I am looking forward to seeing the memorial park progress too. Keep well & sage ...Cheers Kev

[@davidhyde4329]

Many thanks Kev - I do enjoy scratch building - it is inexpensive and rewarding - although it can be a bit time consuming. Anyway, glad you like watching it. The memorial park is the main focus at the moment. Stay safe ... David

[@film49uk]

Excellent update and i agree that it is a good time to crack on with Deresley .I do like the new building .I have also had issues with fading so you are not alone in this problem.keep well keep safe and i await the next update ........Thanks for making this clip David

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks Paul. Much appreciated. Nice to hear I am not alone with this fading problem. I have found a (possible) cure🤞🤞 - more in the next video ... David

[@mintymoore6054]

Good Morning David and Happy Easter. Hope you and your family are safe and well in these strange times. Love the railway as always and the amount of detail you put into your models

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks Minty, much appreciate comments again. Happy Easter and stay safe to you and yours also - strange times indeed ... David

[@trainsontuesday]

Thank you David. It is great to have you back working on Deresley once again. Do take care and stay safe. Regards, David.

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks David, much appreciated comments - stay well and safe ... David

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Hi Dave, thank you for putting up a update on your buildings. and its a pleasure to see your work with all its full details...keep safe Tony

[@davidhyde4329]

So nice of you to say so Tony. I do enjoy the detail - glad you do too ... David

[@desmondjamesleggett990]

nice work again David, i don't work with card and paper for my buildings but what you achieve is commendable, very skilful. my layout is on hold due to having to join the rm club in Romford as it was going to close, I am now embarked on a layout that i can take to shows or anywhere where i can raise money for charities etc. its based on Sandsend. Keep the updates coming David and keep safe.

[@davidhyde4329]

Hi Desmond, many thanks for your kind comments. Shame you are isolated from your railway but glad to hear of your laudable charity fund raising plan. Hope it goes well and its not too long we can go about our normal business. I will certainly keep up a regular update while this lock-down continues ... Stay safe ... David

[@fireworkdisplaysuk]

Very nice, look forward to your next video ✌🏻

[@davidhyde4329]

More to come - glad you liked it - many thanks ... David

[@strange-universe]

At first, I didn't think anything of that red faded wood siding. There are many red barns and outbuildings in this area. And some do turn a grayish-pink color over time. Especially if there are no base coats with a cheap barn paint applied. A most enjoyable channel for all your interests, David.

[@davidhyde4329]

Interesting, I never took into account the real life fading. In the UK however I have never come across this colour fading on old barns. Anyway, I am happy with the replacement - I can show you in this comming week's video. Thanks for the comment n ... David

[@colinnewmarch1106]

David, nice to see you back on the railway , your attention to detail is amazing ,

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks Colin, much appreciated - it's nice to be back ... David

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

An EXCELLENT job creating a very realistic diorama!!

[@chazzyb8660]

David, Good to see some progress, but it's your time, your speed! If the Dinky's took over, and the kingfisher(!), then that is of course your choice. I do though enjoy the railway ones the most! Well, when I say railway, I suspect it's actually the scenic/townscape modeling I really enjoy. So I am really glad to see progress at Deresley. Keep well, keep safe, be kind.

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks David. I am hoping to strike a balance between my interests. The railway and the dinky toys will be my main focus - anything other will be minor and infrequent. Hope I get the right balance for you ... David

[@shaneellasdaicastrestorati3675]

It all looks great, thanks for sharing.

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks, much appreciated ... David

[@ewoodrailway]

Looking great, a pleasure to watch

Thanks for the comment, much appreciated ... David

[@stevenpryce7808]

Really like watching your videos David,very relaxing & informative,annoys me though how 3 people can dislike your video,they need a slap 🤔

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks Steven, much appreciated - I enjoy making them and am pleased so many like them - there will always be some that don't. As long as they are in the minority I am happy ... David

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

A very 😎 gate too you built for this!!

[@davidhyde4329]

Hi Thomas - actually, I did not build the gate or fence sections - they are available as individual items to help scratch- building projects - true it is a very 😎 gate ... David

[@IamRobotMonkey]

Great stuff. Lovely to see you and the railway again. The new parts of town around the park remind me very much of Kings Lynn. Stay safe and healthy.

[@davidhyde4329]

Many thanks - nice to be back with the railway. I am modelling the park from memories of childhood. We often visited Bancroft Rec in Hitchin. Glad its bought back memories for you too. Stay safe ... David

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Keep up the great work Bud!!

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks! Will do! ... David

[@johnnyvscustomsgaragetassie.]

David, Bravo! That section of your layout has come on beautifully. Those shop! Spot on. And the War memorial is going to be splendid and respectful. As you say we all need to stay strong and safe in our own part's of the world where Virus' have no respect for boundaries. Take care and Thank's for the update. Cheer's Tassie John

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks John, much appreciated comments. Echo your comments - the world needs to stay safe❤❤ ... David

[@gilesforrest3945]

Hi David really enjoyed this video your attention to detail is top notch I really like your park area and the walls and gates are superb. Thanks for sharing your talents with us and stay safe during lockdown. Happy Easter.

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks Giles, much appreciated - glad you liked it - Happy Easter to you too ... David

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

These kits you are using to build the buildings for your town appear to be quite detailed...

[@martindaredare]

Very interesting video David, some amazing modeling skills and attention to detail. Stay safe.

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks Martin, much appreciated comments. Just Subscribed to you channel - content looks good, I will check it out later 👍👍 ... David

[@Colin399]

Beautiful workmanship

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks Colin, much appreciated ... David

[@GuzziIan]

Nice to see the progress at Deresley, I like the modification to the war memorial. Might I suggest that for odd shapes, like the building roof, they can be shaped using blue foam which can be cut and shaped easily and used as a frame work to assemble the roof. I build model aircraft and blue foam is used frequently for shaping complicated parts.

[@davidhyde4329]

Hi Ian - thanks for your tip. I have heard of this material but, in my days of R/C modelling it was balsa 😁😁. Never thought of using it for my scratch building on my model railway. A friend is using it in his baseboard construction (to save weight) I will scrounge a chunk of him and play about with it - as soon as we can go out - of course ... David

[@MatchboxResurrection]

What an interesting video. A lot of work involved in all the fabrication. Thanks David

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks for the comment - a lot of work, I know, but I love the detailing aspect of my railway ... David

[@SeatedViper]

Another excellent video, David. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. A minor observation about the War Memorial: I have one in storage at present, belonging to a model tramway which, of course, is more urban street scene than anything else. When I built mine, in a park, I used a Faller HO kit of a fountain. The man on top was holding a goose or other large bird under his arm, and I used a figure of a Highland Piper from the Britains range instead. It doesn't look too bad!

[@davidhyde4329]

Hi Peter, many thanks again for your kind comments. The highlander and fountain sounds good - we need to see beyond the obvious when we are being creative - excellent thanks for sharing ... David

[@JPoulAndersson]

Beautiful work David as we're accustomed to from you. That roof is sort of an inverted Mansart shape, difficult to get right but looking oh so nice when finished :-) Cheers, Joachim

[@davidhyde4329]

Hi Joachim, thanks again for your comments. And thanks for the heads up on the roof type - much appreciated ... David

[@MrVinnyh]

Super job on the Southwold building's David, I first came across you due to the railway, but like many-others equally enjoy your Dinky restorations & Deresley Town. I had to give up my model railway + working on the Colne Valley Railway (since 1979) last year to move onto a 40' narrowboat, talk about downsizing! (had a 3 bedroomed house with only me)!! but still watch my favorite channels on KZbin (best of having no TV is little CV19 media trueful/or rubbish rubbed down my neck! as I Am classified as a Key worker 😒, but thumbs up to all other Key workers in the HGV, NHS, PSV shop/food industries 👍🙂 a 10/15 video sometimes can make a bit of difference to our our present times.

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks Vinny for your very kind comments and the small insight into your way of life. Good for you - Thumbs up indeed to you and all our key workers 👍👍👍👍👍 ... David

[@bartoncessna1]

Nice modelling - proper job! I always envy card modellers. My garage is too damp for them to survive so it's plasticard for me. Slightly different techniques but very similar challenges. Looking forward to your next update. Cheers.

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks, really appreciate your comment. I do like card modelling - Pretty much everything is built from card on my layout. I use plasticard too as you will have noticed - both are great materials for scratch-building. I can imagine the problem in your garage ... David

[@scottc287]

Very nice effort on the roof! Thank you for the update.

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks Scott, much appreciated ... David

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

INCREDIBLE detail!!

[@wstks-fmworldwide5390]

Really enjoyed the discussion of trimming and fitting the roof to that corner shop(s) module! Looking very forward to the next installment. Stay Healthy.

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks - much appreciated more to come in a couple of weeks ... David

[@TheDaf95xf]

Morning Dave. Great update love your card building as I do the same and your ideas really help 👍🏻 Keep safe looking forward to seeing the next update cheers Stevie 😎

[@andrewjditton]

Most interesting and very useful indeed thank you David. Like many, I’m trying to focus on the positives of this current situation, and if we see more Deresley videos from your good self as a result, then I’ll be chalking that up as a definite positive!

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks Andrew, so pleased you like my videos - there will be more to come - this project is now progressing well ... David

[@dinmorejunctionmodelrailway]

Hi David. Great to see you back at the crease of railway modeling again. I have to congratulate you on your scratch built village. As for gluing the cars and people down why not use Woodland Scenics A198 Scenics Accents Glue giving you the opportunity to change the scene for your photography. 🚂🚃

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks, finding more time now - as are we all. Thanks for the tip - I will check out A198 and see how it works. On reflection it may not be a good idea to have everything permanently fixed in place 👍👍 ... David

[@TheExStig]

Excellent!

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

A well detailed town you are building here...

[@normanmercer6704]

Hi David, lovely stuff again and as in other comments here the slopping roof has worked a treat. I loved the park wall and how it had started to move and collapse with some subsidence, makes it look even more authentic. You have the patience of a saint to do all this but above all a special vision to know what you want at the end. Looking forward to some more railway and your next installment from here. Great work.

[@TRAMJUNCTION7147HG]

Like you said it's been a while since you last updated your layout, but it is nicely taking shape again. Your scratchbuilt buildings look very nice and look nice on the layout. Cheers for now Geoff

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks Geoff - glad to be working on my railway again ... David

[@daviemaclean61]

I can sympathise with your printer woes David. I have a cheap printer and it has a mind of it's own when I try to get good copies. It still uses up the ink, but it's 50/50 whether it will be useable! Nice update on the "floating" town centre area.

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks davie. I have not given up on printed downloads - I have found a product that might🤞 be the answer to my printer woes. (more details later). Glad you like the project ... David

[@seanmmccarthy]

The roof on the new building is terrific... however, I really like the windows in the older buildings. Can you explain how you made those please?

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks Sean, Glad you liked the scratch-build. I started this building some time ago and I made a couple of videos on scratch-building a row of shops a couple of years ago that may help. Here is a link to to the video that I showed in detail how I did the windows - including the shop windows. FF in 6 minuets or so. Hope this helps ... David kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2bLp6ywpJmCqck

[@seanmmccarthy]

@@davidhyde4329 Marvelous. Windows are the hardest part I find, so I will certainly give your method a go. Thank you.

[@canalsidingsmodelrailway3411]

I think you have really nailed it with the war memorial David and those gates are looking very impressive. I have had the occasional fading of printed card/paper but it has always been the pre-printed type. I now keep most of the UV light out of my railway room with a blackout blind and it has so far proven effective. However. if I remember the orientation of your house correctly your window faces in a northerly direction so you should escape most of the bright sun making the fading your experience suprising. Does the early morning/late evening sun come through your window? ........................John

[@davidhyde4329]

Thanks John. Yes you are correct the window faces north and the layout is against the opposite wall. I did not mention in this video the 30's warehouse low-relief project I intend to make from a download. I have bought some inkjet spray fixer that claims to have UV protection. I will use this - perhaps another video?? - Lastly, no, the track of the sun is to the side of the house so never crosses directly into the windows👍👍👍 ... David

[@paulskehan6274]

Hi David Enjoyed the video. We are also in a more limited lockdown than you are. Our PM pulled up the drawbridge a few weeks ago and we can't take convicts now. On a more serious note if you have florescent lights they may be the cause of the fading. Stay safe. Paul from Zillmere

[@valborchardt3596]

Oh David, thank you, that was so lovely. Really enjoyed watching this.....looking forward to the next video. Just a query, do you know what is the normal HO scale of red bricks please? Thanks kindly. Take care and be safe

[@davidhyde4329]

Hi Val, glad you enjoyed this. I just go by the scale/gauge rating on the product. I always go for 'OO' or 4mm. Both are 1/76th scale which is correct for my railway. HO is a smaller scale - 1/8th - close but but it can look small on a OO layout. HO is the most popular gauge worldwide but OO is historically more established in the UK ... David

[@bjarvis435]

How do you get Dinky at 1.50th to fit with OO/HO gauge ???

[@davidhyde4329]

Hi, thanks for the question. Its an optical illusion. In real life the scale difference is obvious, but, if you photograph a large scale object in front of a small scale object, providing the shot is taken from a low viewpoint, it will make the small scale look correct - but much further away!! 👍👍👍
