Town Scene Detail Part 1

[@TheMisterdan01]

Town scene has come up a treat Richard, nice work with the smaller details. It's true they always seem to be the most expensive on our layouts but can often produce the best effects. Nice to get the remainder of the retaining wall too. Cheers, Dan

[@Le_Comte_de_Monte_Felin]

Another great video & love the time lapse "how-to" included in every video.

[@rubber20021]

wonderful workmanship... Thanks for showing! I do enjoy Everard Junction clips you put together for all to see.

[@FarlandHowe]

A very charming village. Nice scenic touches.

[@howarth004]

all looking very good Richard , some nice detail going in to your building

[@GrahamFoulston]

Looking absolutely superb Richard, if that was mine then I would be so proud of that, excellent video and thanks for sharing.............Graham

[@EverardJunction]

Graham Foulston Thanks Graham

[@aplinewalker]

Another quality presentation,,, great detail and obviously all well thought out in advance ,,,,

[@percomotion]

Great video Richard always my favourite part of a model railway the town scene,like the car park and garages plus adding green scene at the rear of the houses look superb. Look forward to seeing part 2. Kev

[@EverardJunction]

percomotion Thanks Kev

[@TrentValleyRailway]

Great scene you got there and Impressed by your road markings also. Cheers, Matt

[@neilharbott8394]

Very nice indeed. My Grandmother used to do all the gardens on my Grandfathers models - I think that because she enjoyed tending the flowers in her garden, all the models she did were miniature semi-professional flower gardens! As to the video: one of my earlier thoughts was to trash disposal (especially with a store on the corner), but no sooner had I thought it than there you go adding a few garbage bins. Other thoughts were the odd rotary washing line, maybe a childs swing set and toys, and, of course, TV aerials..... but then there's always part 2.

[@EverardJunction]

Neil Harbott There is so much to add it will probably run to part 5 or 6!

[@Pixie586]

As usual an excellent production and a great watch. Susannah

[@JamesSimpsonn]

This is brilliant, excellent job mate. Inspired me to finish of my gardens.

[@adam.goodin]

Very nice work mate, I particularly like the parking/garage area.

[@brickvalleyrail]

Very nice and neat touch in the middle there Everard. Good job!

[@emoh8765TinsleyTmd_YardModel]

Nice one Richard lookin great like the lorry turning up the road looks real well done m8

[@benwalkingshaw2469]

Another great video as always. Ages away from finishing my town scene though it really spurs me on when you post a new video. So thanks.

[@francis1247]

Many thanks, I also enjoy all of your tips & videos really a great help.

[@daveharriman2756]

You're doing a great job mate, you certainly have an eye for detail, keep up the good work!

[@MotoCrazy66]

Hello sir. Inside the model shop, there should be a figure of you pointing at one of the shelves choosing something for the railway. Obviously your present day self, as you may not have existed at the time of the railway! Good stuff. I wish i had space for such a hobby.

[@SkyPilotXSX]

Looks great... keep the vids coming! Love them all :-)

[@CherrhamJunction]

Great work on the town scene. Its amazing how the tiniest of details can bring a scene to life. Surely everyone in the town cant keep their garden that tidy. Theres always that one house with a messy overgrown garden :p...

[@EverardJunction]

Cherrham Junction I was thinking of throwing some old appliances into one of the gardens. Something like an old fridge/cooker and loads of weeds...

[@Northstander]

EverardJunction Or judging by the age of the cars in the clip maybe a Cortina on bricks!

[@2KXMKR]

looking brilliant so far mate. that car park is begging for an old grubby street lamp stuck on a very dim red, preferably flickering all night lol

[@owenevans83]

I really like the garage, great stuff

[@FiveElms]

Nice job. Looks really nice. Jason.

[@retrainrun]

It looks amazing ! is a great transformation. Not a lot of space for trucks to maneuver though! that truck driver is sure cursing the planners of the time. Cheers RT

[@floydfan27]

Hi mate Just want to say love your layout I have watched with great interest from the very start and always look forward to your update videos as they are so informative and brilliant at giving great modelling tips. What I would like to know is when are you going to do part 2 of this video as it is looking brilliant but I would love to see what further things you have planned for this scene. Thanks Pete.

[@EverardJunction]

Peter Stanley Hi Pete. I plan to add more detail to gardens, paint the doors on the houses, fit building lighting, add pedestrians, improve pavement detail, add signage and add weathering to the road. Thanks

[@themodelrailwayfiles6828]

+EverardJunction Another great video. By the way what turf did you use for underneath the static grass?

[@dismaldog]

Looks great as always mate.Great vids too.

[@hovermotion]

Fantastic vid ...nice road markings etc....i like the idea of a model shop on a model railway.....jim

[@SkyPilotXSX]

I think the model shop should have a model railway in the window....

[@hovermotion]

100% yes...lol

[@AlanSurgeoner]

Love the time and effort you put into the hobby. You are certainly a dedicated. I look forward to your uploads to see the progress. just one thing I hope you realise your transit van will not fit through the exit from your car park, lol Sorry for being so cheeky ,couldn't resist though as it is all so perfect. Good luck and keep up the great work You give people lots of ideas and techniques that are invaluable for their own layouts

[@EverardJunction]

Alan Surgeoner Thanks

[@tovilstationmodelrailway7317]

hello. love the layout your videos have helped a great deal for my new layout. have you a video or a link to what you use for your roads. I was thinking black paint but was wondering what you used underneath as a base kind regards jamie

[@tjfSIM]

Inspiring as always! I would go for a 'happy shopper' or 'costcutter' type shop on the corner :)

[@dancw1988]

Keep up the good work looking forward to the next update

[@kevintregunna]

finishing touches make all the difference cheers Kevin

[@daz1975ify]

We have white lamp posts in Dunstable, think they are very old as the top came off when a car crashed into one!!. Great looking town scene.

[@ScottDowneywoundedbear]

Great job on the town scene.

[@tidmouthmilk12]

Great video as ever! Really like how that scene is coming along. I think when I do a model railway of my own I'll have to set it the 60's to I have an excuse to put a Police Telephone box in :3

[@PinkThorn242]

Apparently Hornby want £5.70 for a Police box. Vs. £5.15 for a Red box and £3.99 for a modern box like the one in here.

[@tidmouthmilk12]

Glad I already got a police box then ^^

[@fredrikmol]

This must be some utopia for drivers, no potholes? But the detail of everything I can just say, wow well done!

[@ACE999]

Harold's Larder reminds one of Arkwright's. All it needs is Granville outside cleaning the windows, and Nurse Gladys opposite with her Morris 1000. :)

[@boltuss]

great job see you at next town planners meeting lol enjoyed vid as always

[@littlehenham]

That looks so good. Gotta do something similar on Little Henham. Can you tell me how you did Double yellows and the white Road Markings please. Also, your houses, are they Low releifs, that are back to back, or ready made double sided.. Thanx. Richard

[@EverardJunction]

littlehenham All the markings are painted. I used masking tape to get the edges right. The houses are part of the Hornby range and are full size. The codes are R8621 and R8622

[@LeedsRHINOS75]

Looks really good great video

[@thedaijal]

Greetings from Oklahoma. This episode is one of my favs of your wonderful series. At about the 11:55 mark, I am unfamiliar with what the three orange, gray, and green "boxes" you placed along with the red telephone booth are. I'm guessing a dispenser of some kind, but can't think of anything I've seen in the real world that could give me a hint. What are they?

[@EverardJunction]

Barry Wilson Those are recycling bins. These ones are for different types of glass and can often be referred to as a 'bottle bank'. You often find them in car parks to provide easier access for residents who are unable to dispose of glass in their domestic bins.

[@philiplettley]

Recycling and wheelie bins are more 90s onwards and the telephone box, but great work. Loving the videos and looking forward to seeing the new layout coming together

[@DeanPark]

Nice work. So simple, but really effective. I wouldn't want to live in the houses sharing a garden...where would I sunbathe nude in the summer???!?! lol Town scene now looks the part. I have a town scene, but at my rate it will be 2016 until I get to it!! Dave

[@EverardJunction]

DaveClass47 If you're planning to do that I wouldn't want to be there. Everyone would be able to see you!! Still got loads to do. I've also started the suburb scene. Its going to be a while before I get any of them finished.

[@DeanPark]

I see Noch do a pack of nudists, 4 pack, 2 male and two female...would be a nice little cameo for your layout?....maybe have them playing tennis in the back garden or Swing Ball perhaps? (pun intended! lol). I am going to put a cheeky (yes, don't say it, but that's another bad pun!!!) wee scene like that in my town lol, eventually! Its going to take me a while until I get ANYTHING finished! I keep having to buy stuff to complete a particular part, if its not ballast, paints to weather, its scenic stuff and now a Static Grass applicator! its just £££££, and not forgetting all of pre pre orders I have!

[@Nathan_A_RF]

Nice job! You're layout is becoming more and more realistic! LOVE the station sign too. Not to be pedantic though, but the station road wouldn't have road markings and dotted pedestrian crossings, the zig-zags have lines at the end of them and the entrance to the car park could have entrance markings like the give way lines. Road signs would add a nice touch too, being a town scene

[@EverardJunction]

Nathan A RF All to come later. I've got loads and loads to do on both town scenes.

[@lu4472ke]

I think a model shop for your corner shop could be a nice challenge. Then you can have boxes in a window and a demonstrator layout that model shops usually have.

[@EverardJunction]

Luke Knights I'll probably do that. Will turn it into a Beatties or something.

[@jacobporrett]

Looks really good.

[@MattBFreq3]

Some great videos you've been putting up this year. I particularly liked the Canal videos. Good to also hear you used to live in Watford too, my hometown as well. Did any of Watfords rail systems and networks inspire you in putting together your layout at all?

[@EverardJunction]

Matt Bishop Watford inspired the time period the layout is set in and the town scene is similar to where I lived but thats about it. The lines around watford are electrified and I don't have the skill to build all that.

[@quincytrains2964]

Loved the video, especially the intro. You should do a night running session if you haven't already

[@AndyHudson-ModelRailwayBuilds]

nice update Richard the town scene is looking good Andy

[@chrisgoddard4397]

Hi,Richard,looking good mate few questions if u don't mined mate are they hornby houses,and we're did u get the retaining wall from and how did u do the pavement cheers Chris

[@EverardJunction]

Chris Goddard The houses are Hornby. The retaining wall is available from international models. The pavement is made from polyfilla. My next video will show that in more detail.

[@graemecollin]

Nice! Regarding the shop ... would be nice to have an "Arkwright's General Store", G-G-G-Granville .. ;-) I know the original's actually in Rochdale, but every old terraced street like that should have an Arkwright's ... it should be the law! And what better tongue-in-cheek nod to a British comedy legend? ;-)

[@davecooke914]

Great detail amazing layout =D>

[@davidlindfield]

Lovely work Richard, were wheelie bins around in the early eighties?

[@EverardJunction]

David Lindfield They first appeared in 1988 which is when my layout period starts. Before that I guess it was just steel bins.

[@danielsaunders8459]

thats awesome mate i really like that scene well done !!!

[@jacobchapman2789]

What did you use for the road markings i really would aprechiate if you could tell me and maybe give a link thanks

[@EverardJunction]

jacob Chapman I painted on the road markings and used masking tape to keep things straight.

[@richiesquest3283]

loved the opening scene of the hst with coach lighting, watched your previous tutorial on coach lighting which i found inspired me enough to attempt this project,unfortunately i have shelved this idea due to a comment you made at a later stage regarding a problem. My question is what was the problem and did you solve it.

[@EverardJunction]

zedcell eng I've haven't had any problems with the lighting apart from the first one or two I made. I didn't take very much care with those and they eventually failed. So far I've lit 24 coaches and they all work.Are you talking about the derailment issues I had with the hst? That was a separate issue which was solved by changing the wheels in some of the coaches.

[@francis1247]

A little hello from Isle de la Réunion.

[@Badger737]

Nice job :) I think you need a few oil stains in the communal parking area. Someones car must have leaked at some point. It looks a bit pristine.

[@EverardJunction]

***** All to be added in later. The car park is far to pristine at the moment.

[@ListerDavid]

You should make the corner shop Arkwrights from open all hours I know it's not the right style but would still be fun. You could have Arkwright at the door of the shop and Granville with the shop bike by the road.

[@neilharbott8394]

Oh and liked the HST at night opening sequence.

[@stewartd4435]

HI from Australia, love your vids been following for quite a while. How do you make your footpaths and make the buildings recess into them. Do you use a similar method as seen with your engine shed ?

[@EverardJunction]

Stewart D Yes I use basically the same same method. I have a part finished video which covers making the paths. It will be up in the next few weeks.

[@stewartd4435]

Thanks for the reply I, look forward to your next vid

[@humbolt136]

What a difference a bit of grass can make!

[@matthewsnowdenshunterguy3352]

That looks brill mate! R all the houses resin? How bout lighting one of the garages and having a couple of lads working on their boy racer project, plenty of clutter n posters in the garage? Jst summat id do :)

[@EverardJunction]

Matthew Snowden The buildings are all resin from Hornby. I've got loads of detail to add which will come in part 2 and 3.

[@matthewsnowdenshunterguy3352]

Right i'll b watching :)

[@DCHD24]

Can we have another trains running video? Love this channel, I really do get alot of inspiration of it! From DC HD

[@EverardJunction]

DieselClag HD Yes, its on the list. Will take a few weeks to sort.

[@DCHD24]

EverardJunction Yay Thanks!

[@littlelocos9919]

Makes a real difference 😄

[@francis1247]

what is the width you give to the main road?

[@EverardJunction]

About 100mm, smaller roads I make are about 80mm wide

[@Italkgadget]

1st comment once again great job this town scene gets better every time!

[@thomaspow2000]

Where do you get your houses??

[@EverardJunction]

Tom powell I got them from hattons. That was about 5 years ago so I don't know if these particular ones are still in stock.

[@bloodmarine77]

just a little touching up here and there really does make a difference to how it all looks richard.

[@EverardJunction]

Glebe Road Junction Thanks Terry

[@dessilverson161]

Just catching up with the layout. being a bit picky again, the zig zag should have a line perpendicular to the curb at the begining and end i think. Des.

[@EverardJunction]

Des Silverson Thanks, I'll add it on when I get around to adding extra detail to the roads.

[@s0nnyburnett]

Why would they need to park when they rode the rails?

[@callammetcalfe8891]

Nice

[@mjsdecember1990]

I'm trying to find a way of making a roadworks scene it on a raised section so I can make a hole and I'm thinking oof painting drinking straws to make pipes but I don't know how to make the earth in and around the hole

[@EverardJunction]

You could use real earth? I have on a few places, if you can find some fine enough its works well and can be painted once its been glued down. Its also free!

[@PinkThorn242]

Guessing you're not quite mad enough to try putting a station name on the small sign.

[@EverardJunction]

***** The name is too long and would look out of place. It will be on the building itself instead.

[@TilefordOO]

Don't forget the ubiquitous "Park illegally here and it'll cost you a kidney to get your car unclamped" sign on the garage wall….!

[@EverardJunction]

***** Ah yes, back when they were allowed to be clamping all over the place! I'll put a sign by the entrance.
