Layout update 25/07/2012

[@retrainrun]

Great update! Not a lot of modelers run their trains like you done here.Thanks for the treat, and for showing all those different camera angles! Love the garage area! is extremely well done.

[@raykiefer5137]

I have again been watching these in 2022. I am enjoying seeing these updates along with the 2022 videos.

[@FarlandHowe]

Just superb. Your work astounds. I really like the expressway. Looks great and the auto salvage/repair is great too. Rob

[@rrt08]

Tell that shop to start working on that VW next. Excellent progress nice to see the helix in the line now. Thanks for sharing again.

[@littlehenham]

Hi, another great vid. I love the sound your trains make, when running, so smooth. The 85 is a lovely model. Cheers, richard

[@TheMisterdan01]

Hi, great video, I just subscribed. I love the level of detail on your layout, especially the grass and foliage etc. Also the weathering you have done on everything looks fantastic! Looking forward to the next one! Cheers, Dan

[@soundseeker63]

Superb update, loving the garage + allotment area especially. I am also a big fan of the new class 85. I just saw the electric blue version with twin pans and its a very nice looker. Time to start saving up!

[@09mystic90]

Excellent vid as always, loving the new scenery area at you signal box. Also like your idea to change the area to the left of your town scene, how youve got it now really opens up that area quite abit. Nice work keep em coming. Rob

[@flymajj]

Beautiful layout. It is also exactly my era of interest.

[@tjfSIM]

Every time I watch these updates, it inspires me to get on and make a start with my layout. Anyway, Everard Junction is looking superb, keep up the great work mate :)

[@wattass7]

iv been watching your series since you were building the town etc on the top and i have to say its looking stunning now, i love the idea with the alopments and the polyfilla on the ground weathered is fantastic, i know its coffe time when an e mail comes with an upload from you , very helpfull vids for beginers like me building my layout, its just gives me that wumph to go and do some , and i think im going to have an alopment as well with a scrapyard next to it, thanks for the vids, appreciated

[@percomotion]

Excellent update mate like the car restoration garage also the road way to the signal box looks superb.

[@ferriesdover]

Morning, Always like seeing your work on videos.I am fairly new to this. It keeps me going d t modelrailforum

[@DominicFawver]

Great video as always. Love the little garage scene, looks just like some of the ones over on this side of the pond (even the same cars, lol).

[@mallard44499988]

you do very interesting reviews of ur layout, i have also brought the Bachmann Class 85 yes i totally agree with u very nicely produced with fine detail, the only disappointment for me is there is only 1 rear light working in either direction. excellent power

[@TheSwallow125]

Great work can't wait to see more of the class 85 running around the layout it looks amazing!!

[@ngaugeuk]

Another top notch update...looking forward to the next one.

[@glennofootscray]

A tip for road markings that I use, cut strips of office paper in 2mm strips( OO 6') and glue onto surface, weather accordingly, saves on having that blobby hand painted look. By the way a great looking layout.

[@50shadesofgreen]

it just keeps getting better and better i am so jelous right now !!!! had to get rid of mine a couple of years ago but i'm starting again as soon as my new shed is made and delivered 2nd aug watch this space

[@MalcolmJohnson]

Looking FANTASTIC! The video is grand. Love the intro! :) Great layout.

[@bloodmarine77]

you have been a busy boy... i have to say the new extension area is looking very very realistic with fantastic detail added in. i agree with one of the other comments about needing a shunter,a class 03 or 08 shunter or two sitting in a siding would add that extra something to an already superb layout. other than that mate 5* all day long.

[@bikerides]

Some great scale length trains running there and pulling well up your spiral.

[@EverardJunction]

Thanks, it's taken about 3 years to build so far.

[@MediaMonkeyGaming]

@EverardJunction the siding at the back of the car garage you could build something to load cars on and off and put some flatbeds in the siding and have classic cars loading on and off into the garage.

[@AVFCAM]

I like how you say that bits are 'quite good'. It sells the layout short! I've known quite a few people pick up the 85, even without OHLE on their layouts, like you say, because it's such an impressive model!

[@EverardJunction]

It's the standard plastic hornby fence.

[@hovermotion]

Nice update as allways, nice new class 85 one of my fave b.r electric locos. I have many electric locos & have looked into adding the over head catenary but the cost for this is a large amount of money for my unreali

[@Dennis20000]

Can you remember where you got the the sides of the bridge that goes over the motorway? The metal girders.

[@railmodler8572]

i'm very impressed :) i enjoy watching your videos for the tips on my next layout

[@Jackthb92]

Watching your series has really made me want to dust of my layout and get it going again, money dictates though, need all new track and new base boards. Keep it coming

[@Armyboy1696]

Gets better everytime, keep up the good work

[@TrainMadJames]

Amazing work on the layout i love the polyfill mud effect.

[@trackspike64]

yeah i have been tracking your layout progress for a while and you always make me wonder how you make the layout look so good wish you were my neihbor I could learn alot from you ...thanks for the new video would liek to see you make one on what kind of dcc system you use and how you wired and hooked it up ...

[@stevenjohnboley]

Another great production - well done. STEVIE B (Stroley International).

[@fedcba7210]

The best allotment scenes I have seen were by a lady at the Warley show, she makes fruit and veg from tissue paper using various paper stamps. I'm not sure if you have met her but she is always on one of the demo tables. It is very effective stuff

[@siobhan104]

Great stuff as always. How about a little shunter, 08 or 09 around the place in one of the depots or somewhere. Just a thought. All the best.

[@railandmodel]

Good progress, keep up the great work. Cheers.

[@FiveElms]

Just an idea....where you have the embankment for the motorway you could have lots of very small trees with the sort of plastic protecters they put round the base? If you know what i mean? Jason.

[@mallard44499988]

just after i brought the Class85 i sent Bachmann a email about the rear tail light even they said thats how it is, i did initally think there was a actual fault.

[@2009trains]

Layout a credit to you also sharing your. Knowledge have learned a lot from your uploads building my third layout hopefully right this time regards Trevor

[@largesatsuma]

I guess most 00 gauge cars are 1960s era, right? That classic car garage is an intelligent way of incorporating them in a 1980s layout.

[@EverardJunction]

I have a 33 which is similar and thats quite good, the 26 should perform the same.

[@EverardJunction]

It's an experimental cloaking device used by British Rail to transport weapons grade material during the cold war... After it was discovered by the media in 1992 it was decomissioned over health and safety concerns for the general public.

[@Revolutionarydb]

Had my volume up to loud and as a result that intro really did give me a fright :)

[@2259Ben]

1:55 looks exactly like a signal box I have on a 'Trainz' route on my computer... Good layout e.g attention to detail. Cool Vid!

[@enessevimlikurt2683]

two questions: 1:can you buy a class 90 scotrail and a pendolino? 2:which road do you live in,i want to see you for doing the best job!

[@spener89]

Brilliant!

[@Matthewmodeller229]

The end of the road that finishes by the TMD could actually go over the tack like a level crossing!

[@emmajones5300]

My friend gave me two of those coaches, I was wondering what type they were... Thanks! And great layout! :)

[@EverardJunction]

I use tamiya plastic compatible grease, they same stuff I use for RC cars.

[@EverardJunction]

Yeah, i've seen those. I might do that.

[@Allyd106]

i like the car lot place what are u going to do with the corner section that has all your tubs in it ?

[@soundseeker63]

I know it looks odd but that is actually accurate. From footage of the era (1980s) they only ever seemed to have 1 tail light on at a time. In any case it would only ever have been visible when the loco was running light engine or parked up.

[@CrowArchLane]

My speakers are rubbish so I turned on captions. :) Very funny what it thinks you say!

[@paulknowles100]

It's still looking awesome mate do u never fancy putting any up to date trains on like a class 70 or a virgin pendoline on ur layout

[@mjsdecember1990]

Like the white ford escort happy new year by the way

[@b2311e]

I watched the start holding a full cup of coffee. When I flew through the air, god knows how I didn't get my shirt wet.

[@toffie702]

lovely, the layouts really coming on nicely now next update/ video you do please can you do a shot of the control panel for the layout id love to see hows its all controlled please and yes ive seen Will ( intercity82 ) review on the 85 it really is a nice loco

[@ACE999]

I could sit here all day watching your video's. In a word, - excellent! I wonder if you can let me know which camera model you use? The layout is almost like real life, and very relaxing to view. The five who 'didn't like' here, must be those we all know exist, who are mentally challenged. :)

[@brummiedan88]

Looking really good mate :)

[@EverardJunction]

Somewhere between Paddington and Reading

[@Arrivatrainswalesfan]

Great idea I agree!!!

[@EverardJunction]

I use 12mm MDF

[@toffie702]

how much clearance do you need between the rails ? i need to no as im starting a shelf project layout

[@jamespinderphotoman]

you should put some cateyes on the dual carridge way :)

[@panther590]

how did you stick down your bachmann security fence as i have recenty bought some thanks?

[@hovermotion]

@hovermotion For my unrealistic trackwork ,

[@Supernova08523]

Does this mean you are going to convert to overhead wires?

[@anthony566]

As with every other update ... Very nice progress :). Are you planning on using a back scene or just sticking with the sky blue ?

[@jacobporrett]

Great video well done.Are you going to weather your class 85?

[@lozzer1230]

Love The Opening

[@Matthewmodeller229]

I have just bought some off Ebay, how do I stand it up without using the stupidly unrealistic stands supplied?

[@Liverpoolfcfever]

I would like to know if you will get bachmanns 101 and will u be getting a shutter

[@davidrichens4453]

Hi it's looking really good, just have a quick question! with ac models do you actually need over head lines or is it just for show?

[@Assasinman102]

Do you just use peco track or a mixture of tracks e.g peco points and Hornby straights?

[@SuperRyan5678]

how did you make the concret

[@DanielSander]

Great vid

[@forzafreak94]

How much did the price come to all together and can you give me any tips on saving money on hornby e.g Used loco's because i really wanna get the Hornby going but my dad's abit tight on money,

[@hillsdeng1]

Are you gonna rust up that bridge over the motorway

[@tobythesuperfasttram]

where did you get your static grass from :)

[@afqr2007]

what radius curves do you use

[@Nthusiast125]

Where do you get your train Sound Effects?

[@EnterprisingRailFilms]

Very good looking lovely

[@Matthewmodeller229]

Lol. Who makes the fence also at 12:27?

[@xxxarkxxx]

You have an error on your motorway. Bus and coaches are forbidden to use the outside lane.

[@panther590]

thankyou

[@duxberry1958]

that reminds me i.v not had a pint of Tiger for awhile

[@TheRealAdamBussey]

new video if you have the time please?

[@InterCityBen]

u shoud get a steam loco for a steam railtour (the railway looks amazing)

[@BNSFfan1996]

You guys have funny sounding horns :D

[@bayline509]

nice layout

[@mtty1988]

The electric could evern stop important station as the east coast/gner wen on divisions would stop at carlise station on way newcastel(when ecml closed ed new and have go via wcml )

[@Lennon6412]

Whatever happened to your class 85? Does it still run on the layout?

[@EverardJunction]

+Lennon6412 I still have it. I bought it mainly in case I ever build an AC electric layout.

[@enessevimlikurt3387]

nice.. but i will buy 3 class 85's then cause one in br light blue and two in br dark blue

[@MrJezza31]

You should build a proper big scrapyard i think :P looking good anyway

[@EverardJunction]

I just used pva glue

[@tobythesuperfasttram]

could u please also show your 2 steam engines running please :D

[@jaannetts16]

5***S it is looking gd, i like the garage with the cars i got to get one some great views too

[@RailFan60121]

Are u eva gunna run steam engines? maybe just now and again but even in 1960 there were some steam engines left like evening star

[@Matthewmodeller229]

If there were 2 Ac Electric locos diverted onto non-electrified track, two diesel locos would need to haul the train! double-doulbe heading!
