Layout Tour 2023

I've had a number of requests to do a complete tour of the layout again as many parts of it have changed significantly since the previous tour in 2021. I've done my best to go over just about everything I can think of in detail. I hope this updated tour will bring you up to speed with the current state of the layout.

[@srednivashtar5432]

You have no idea of the sheer joy I feel when one of your newly released videos pop up. And I am not even particularly interested in railway modelling either. I’ve just spent a lovely hour watching this, and am looking forward to whenever you release the next one. Great to see, and great to watch. Thanks for all your efforts, Richard, both with the layout and the videos. You should be very proud of what you achieve.

[@EverardJunction]

Cheers, glad you enjoyed it. More vids on the way

[@supersniperuk]

Neither was I I treated in model trains then I took the next step in buying a class 37 of eBay you know just to sit on my shelf next thing i know i have a small collection and growing fast now I have track too before I know it I be confident enough to start a haunting depot. Beats selling drugs and fighting saved my life this guy having seen a copper in months on the up no more prison love life now

[@Bradonomous]

This layout is a work of art. It is not how we wish the world to be, nor is it how we nostalgically remember the world to be, it is very much how the world actually was. Having lived through this period of the railway I really appriciate the honest and accurate approach. Great tour, great update, and look forward to many more videos!!!

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

This layout is the best in the country. More people need to realise this. This channel deserves 1 million subscribers! Also Richard is the cleverest modeller out there!

[@JosephByrne]

Remember the slam door trains? They were still in service when I moved to London in 2004. You could jump out of the train when it was doing 60mph.

[@newwesterngrove]

​@JosephByrne My Grandad was a Guard on British Rail in the late 70s to the early 80s, he told me that a Drunk man actually did that accidentally while messing around with the door (Except the HST they were on was going alot faster than 60mph)

[@adelwulf8864]

Absolutely beautiful layout. You've got the track/scenery balance spot on, and the trains look like they're actually going somewhere rather than round and round.

[@EverardJunction]

Easy to fall into the trap of too much track, I'm quite happy with the balance here. Cheers

[@davidhewson8605]

Hi Richard, hope you are well. I lived in London and Swindon from 69 until 94 !. Swindon last 8yrs. As you know, Swindon was Brunell GWR prior. A sleepy town dominated by the railway works that went from 30k to 160k population in the 80s. Have stood on that station and had pricey coffee in the middle of Winter. What a desolate place. You can hear London and Sth. Wales at the same time ⌚!. Your layout is mega lovely jubilee with mates included. Your details of the arse end of places is incredible. [ Enjoy, no rush ?. ] should be on your layout posters. Thanks to you and your mates for this diamond. Dave

[@dieselbuilder5901]

Richard, I'm always impressed by how you've not fallen into the trap of the "track has to be everywhere" style of model railways. By being smart and relinquishing and devoting an entire scenic side of the room for your fiddle yard as opposed to the necessary evil of helixes to access under layout storage, you've absolutely nailed it for me. Of course, there's nothing wrong with wanting to fill up every piece of usable space with track, but for me it's so much more realistic with the planning and restraint you've shown and now you have a layout that has the uncluttered look and feel of the real settings you're modelling while still keeping the enjoyment of watching trains run with minimal derailments and other sometimes unavoidable issues. Keep the great content coming mate! Dan.

[@EverardJunction]

Cheers Dan, track everywhere is an easy trap to fall into but I'm pleased with how it's turned out. Some wider baseboards would really help but I've only got so much space. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@maryginger4877]

Less is More...

[@richardtaylor8165]

An Everard Junction video is always worth an hour of your time.

[@franktuckwell196]

I used to drive epbs through the Atlantic lines, down to Stewarts lane and round and down into Victoria. I know those houses in Brixton, drove past them about a million times. Every single detail is absolutely stunning,there are several places where the cable troughing is in poorer states than those displaced covers. When i did my traction exam going down to Basingstoke, there was an occaision when due to squirrels damage the wooden troughing blew up and caught fire, (they had nested in and chewed through cables, set all on fire) we used to say that you knew you were getting closer to London as the grafitti got closer together. You are marvellous.🏆🏆🏆I willingly award you these championship cups.

[@owatopham]

Absolutely stunning track. I was 8 in 1989 and you have nailed the urban decay beautifully. And nice to see an Austin Maestro too!

[@EverardJunction]

Looking forward to adding some more Maestros and other proper 80s cars. Cheers

[@bmwevodunc]

Great layout. My brother in law and I took Croydon North Street layout to alot of exhibitions a few years back, Same era as your layout. Lots of NSE livery rolling stock. Just what I like to see.

[@chrisg38]

Thanks for showcasing your ModelSigns streetlights again! We love seeing our lights out and about on other people’s layouts, yours especially!

[@johnhampson7]

This layout is nothing short of a masterpiece in my opinion, my compliments on this video however are for your commentary, which is concise, informative, and detailed. Damn good show.

[@SuperSquart]

You have been doing an amazing job with this I wish I had the patience like you do.

[@MrAsBBB]

When I was a teenager (I’m now 55) my favourite part of my layout was turning the layout lights on and the room lights off. I found it so exciting. I even put lights in the carriages but had to use batteries. I think what Richard’s layout does is bring excitement as to the possibilities of what is achievable. Until I saw your videos I had no idea how stunning modelling can be i.e. a work of art and a true representation of a period. Well done , so much appreciated

[@ajkleipass]

That was amazing! ❤❤❤❤❤ I grew up in an apartment overlooking an elevated subway line in New York City. I know how those flats and shops around the station must shake and rattle with every passing train. I can feel it in my bones! Two businesses that I never could understand being so close to the tracks were a barbershop and a dentist office. Thankfully, there wasn't a tattoo parlor.

[@dcarbs2979]

I love this layout not only the sheer scale of it, but early 1990 is when I got my first electric train set and lived in the southeast. You couldn't really all it a 'model railway', but being set in the modern day at the time, it had this sort of rolling stock. Never did get the NWSE stuff to replicate the real thing I travelled on though. I had HSTs and class 58 freight which we don't tend to get in my region.

[@jonahspiper]

I had to scrap my last layout in 1987 when I had to leave home. I’ve never stayed anywhere long enough to build another until now, albeit in Thailand! Every video a massive help in planning so along with all the other plaudits. Thank you again!

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

Go to the area around Bethnal Green Station. The arches, the shops, retaining walls, street scenes are *exactly* like this. It's amazing!

[@RobbieSongwriter]

NOT "hard to appreciate" the attention to detail and the intelligence of your design to maximize the space you are in. Heartily agree with @adelwulf8864 about your track/scenery balance - "spot on" indeed. Don't know if the sound of trains running is enhanced by a sound sytem, but especially in the opening sequence, sounds really realistic, including some "clickety clack". Look forward to every video, which are QUITE well done. (applause). Thank you again for sharing with us.

[@keefs3987]

This just amazing ,especially those night shots .Work of art and very authentic to the period .Town needs a sleazy pub though .

[@roulernbleu4532]

^ This. Where is it going to be?? The pub is like the second or third thing that absolutely needs to be decided in layout planning. Right after stations and fiddle yards. 😉

[@cranefly23]

Absolutely superb work! I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing them.

[@maxthedoomer]

I don’t like modelling, I don’t like model railways, I don’t even like trains in the slightest but I’ve been subbed to you for years and I’m completely addicted to EJ, never stop mate.

[@EverardJunction]

Brilliant, glad you enjoy it. More to come as always, cheers.

[@portchymac]

Beautifully delivered comment.

[@whatnowstinky]

Beautiful, as always and very inspiring. I love your colour palate choice, it looks right to me. Here in Australia basically all British model railways use a super bright mid-dark green, having never been to the UK, it just looks fake.

[@Pete_Bucks]

Absolutely spectacular Richard! I'm sat here enjoying this tour in the realisation that your loft is pretty much the same size as the room I'm sat in - which makes the size of your layout even bigger than I imagined! Your layout's evolution has been amazing and almost matching real-time changes in the real world as developers strive to constantly change our environments and familiar scenes. That is what makes your uploads very enjoyable and believable for the era you base this on.... It might be hard work for you building it, but rest assured it is amazingly relaxing for us, the viewer, to sit back and escape into your miniature world which seems almost devoid of the troubled world we actually live in :) Thank you for keeping going on this, and as always, I look forward to seeing the next progress upload :)

[@EverardJunction]

Cheers, glad you enjoyed it. While I try to make it as gritty and realistic as possible it's certainly a welcome escape from the world we live in. Building it is very relaxing too.

[@OerlikonM]

Spot on mate. These videos could be used in some sort of therapy sessions. I disappear into an alternate reality while watching them. Just lovely

[@peteratkins7383]

just an idea for you on the unfinished highstreet infront of the station. possibly a car accident scene.. you could use busted up cars like in the scrapyard. recovery vehicles and maybe some emergency services with the classic blue flashing lights. just an idea. ive watched all your progress on this Richard and its one of the best layouts on youtube :)

[@jamesmartin3431]

If I ever win the Euro millions you will have a job for life. Simply outstanding!!

[@monkeysa43]

That’s one of the best layouts I’ve ever seen it’s fabulous, especially because you’ve got the south West trains colour a lot of your locos look dirty as they would in real life. Some trains are spotlessly Clean, some are dirty and dishevelled. What a fantastic place to be 😀😀

[@lindaoffenbach]

That's rather unexpectedly quick after the last upload! Lovely, and exactly what we have been waiting for to finally experience the entirety of this new layout. And what a brilliant one it is! Thanks a bunch!

[@DELTIC55007]

It's absolutely amazing as always, Richard. Be very proud of yourself. Great to see you on the TV last night 😊. It would be great to see a Scania/MCW Metropolitan bus somewhere on the layout, maybe in the scrap yard. A Reading example, maybe 🤔🤔.

[@karimkekhia4369]

what a beautiful layout..those trains just look so so adorable and sweet chugging round. mate your amazing..this has made me smile so much.

[@WillLovesTransport]

what an amazing layout you have

[@skippy5403]

I very much feel like I am look at scenes or pictures from the 1970’s or 80’s in my very limited knowledge of the era. Also I love that you named it Farce Insurance, chefs kiss*

[@timsully8958]

Thanks Richard, that was a lovely way to unwind after a long day! 😃 It is amazing to realise how much you have done, but even more amazing when I started to remember the old bits of the layout, such as the original alignment of the working road along the front of the station when there was no canal, the original scrapyard and canal along with that small building (can’t remember what that was now…was it a gents?) at the water’s edge, and of course the old aborted ideas for the branch line such as the lifted track into the double bridge and the aborted sidings (were they going to be carriage sidings or something? Again I can’t remember! 😀), and each time you have been unhappy you have dived in and redone what you are not happy with, which is brave! It’s not easy to just rip it up and start again, but you seem to even thrive on it at times! 🤣😂 Great stuff mate, I always love when I see you’ve posted a new video 😎👍🍻🍀

[@EverardJunction]

Cheers! I really enjoy revisiting and changing certain aspects of the layout. Always room for improvement, thanks.

[@colinrimmer789]

Richard take a Bow, I’ve followed you for many years and I still get startled when your hand comes into shot shattering the illusion you’ve created. Thank you for making the “Tour” I appreciate the amount of your precious time you’ve devoted to our enjoyment.

[@karlsage3064]

Fantastic job, Richard! Thanks for the updated tour. As a twenty something back in the eighties, your layout transports me back to that time. I remember buying my first Sony Walkman in Rumbelows in Friar Street in Reading, summer '84! Wonderfully observed detailing down to the appropriate graffiti, sodium glow street lighting and grime! Please go for the Texas DIY superstore - pure eighties nostalgia!

[@franktuckwell196]

Stop putting yourself down, what you have created is absolutely ruddy marvellous and typical of my train driving experiences for BR. F i could shrink myself down to scale, i would fit right in. I am retired now, but what you have made is fantastic.

[@DJ_K666]

There would definitely be a Charcoal Grill burger/done kebab place in the parade of shops under the flats. Also have you considered railings for the end of the Bay platform? It'd definitely have some kind of hoarding there. Love the comparison shots. The early branch pictures look like something from 1985 compared to 1989/90

[@christopherjordan617]

Brilliant update thanks Richard for your expert detailed information and excellent photography I look forwards to the next one as ever when you have had chilling time again cheers good inspiration for me to start a smaller layout now I have downsized and moved over nine months now and in planning stage 😀

[@docwithnodegree3416]

Thank you for what you do for the hobby... I've commented previously but not that often as I should. Your layout and your techniques have taught me basically everything that I know that I've used in The hobby since I've been in it for two years now. You are patient, you are thorough, and you are extremely good at what you do. From everyone in the hobby, I just want to give you our deepest appreciation because as a result of your talents and your teaching you have made it possible for me to also have a layout of my own. Thank you ...and amazing work my friend

[@EverardJunction]

Thanks very much, I appreciate that. I make these videos to hopefully inspire more people into the hobby, glad you've enjoyed them. Cheers

[@richardserridge2767]

I would love to do a layout one day... As an artist and enthusiast I've always had the eye for details and the love of making, so all I need is money and space 😂 Keep up the good work, this layout is amazing!

[@stevefisher5226]

I think your layout is superb from the perspective of both a modeller and general viewer. I travelled a great deal by train throughout the 80's (mainly Southern region) and your whole 80's vibe resonates with me, you have captured the snapshots in time seen from a passing train brilliantly. The 3 storey houses have always looked so familiar and when you mentioned they were modelled on properties in Brixton I knew why. If the properites you recreated where those backed by the railway viaduct in Coldharbour Lane I lived in one for a short time!.

[@dimiz218]

Amazing layout, greatly presented! In my point of view, a State of the art class layout! Thanks for sharing!

[@JSC131]

Amazing layout definitely one of the best in the country love the late 70s and 80s my era living in South Wales.

[@Ozbert]

Thanks for showing us around your layout and explaining everything so succinctly. Your attention to detail, (especially with the era), is inspiring. The large stuff, like the shops etc, is perhaps more obvious than the background bits, like the collection of rusting rail - (Nowadays these have to be removed for safety, or else chained or otherwise bound together, so bits can't be moved onto the track). It all seems very accurate to the late 1980's. Great job well done

[@TiasVsEverything]

Beautiful layout. Love the walkthrough if every detail. If you ever do a video with a running session with steam locos, please let me know. Also that “I have a life outside of this attic, as hard as that may be to believe”. Given the amount of work and what you’ve achieved, I can understand why people are shocked you’ve done anything else. This is absolutely incredible. Also greetings from Australia. :)

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

Just Awesome. WOW . Full watch . Love this layout. Mike Espo .

[@paultijink4235]

Hi Richard, thanks for this video. What an amazing layout, the level of detail is absolutely fantastic, the modeling is superior. Looking forward to the next updates! Regards, Paul

[@vernongardner1958]

Thank you Richard. It's nice to hear your thoughts behind what you've done, why you've done it that way etc. Thanks too for reminding us that it is a hobby, that we do it for enjoyment and for many of us, it is an escape from another life and not your total life. Thoroughly enjoy your videos, as and when they appear. Well done sir.

[@jimmypockrus7725]

Incredibly realistic scenery and rolling elevations. So many layouts are perfectly flat. Nice setup. Hope you get plenty of enjoyment out of it.

[@WHP1980s]

Great layout tour, loved every minute of it. As you say the hobby is all about enjoying what you're doing and doing it in your own good time. Thanks for a great insight into all your hard work Richard. Atb Graham 👍

[@Anbregour]

34:10 - As a member a P-Way gang, I can assure you that you're not the only one "mad enough" to make the adjustment. :D

[@tomchappell9092]

Great layout, thanks for sharing. So true to the time! While we were seeing the lockups I was imagining Arthur Daley and Terry from Minder getting up to some dodgy business. Along with a Ford Capri and a Jaaaag with a blown head gasket. Cheers !

[@brianfearn4246]

Cars absolutely fabulous, i just imagine myself walking down to pick my blue ford consul parked outside ill Ord then driving around to the scrap yard for some parts off that red ford consul while it's still there 😊

[@AaronOxfordExmouth1989]

This is absolutely fantastic. I have nothing but admiration for your layout. You may well beg to differ but I will say its perfect. The level of detail is exquisite. I have never seen a layout anything like that before. Sublime simply does not do it justice. Seeing a new video from you is eagerly awaited and enjoyed when they arrive. This really is a real railway in miniature. Superb.

[@EverardJunction]

Certainly a long way from perfect but there is certainly a lot of work there that i'm pleased with. Always room for improvement, that's one of my favourite parts of the hobby. Cheers

[@petee19]

As an ex railway modeller I cannot tell you how much I enjoy your layout and the videos you make. Thank you.

[@rogerdunn5988]

Very impressive. Congratulations on the camera work, it really brings the layout to life.

[@davidwright793]

A stunning accomplishment. Good to see the trains running at realistic speeds. So many excellent models seem to be spoilt by trains running unrealistically fast.

[@JamesPetts]

Lovely video! Excellent to see this in overview. And definitely keep the building side open - it would be a joy to see an open sided building at the edge of the layout with a detailed interior. The shots from through the windows inside showing the moving cars are excellent.

[@rcmarkperformance]

Watched you yrs ago at start of layout,Haven’t seen it recently (life gets in the way tons gone on including starting my own channel) just re connected with you layout looks amazing lots changed I think you were just starting the scrap yard last I see. Love the nostalgia good times 80s lol ❤

[@gichinitosu3153]

Your layout is incredible! Respect for your work! Greetings from Germany

[@darren25061965]

Great update as usual, as you say not everyone is a model railway enthusiast so its important that the landscape has lots of interest for non railway modellers. As if to prove that point, some time ago I visited "Minature Wonderland" in Hamburg (I am a model railway enthusiast), but after watching the trains for a little while I became more interested in the lanscape and cameos. I spent over 8 Hours in there that day and the time flew. I visit every year and the same thing happens, I forget to watch the trains.

[@EverardJunction]

I'd love to visit one day, the airport they did always interested me. Awesome place, glad you enjoyed the vid, cheers.

[@davetevens5080]

Absolutely amazing and how far you have progressed. I remember you building the baseboards and the stands. You certainly have a good eye for detail. A great hobby to take your time at. Nice one Richard 😊😊😊

[@dazblue5515]

Incredible work... I absolutely love the care and attention to detail... the scrapyard and canal look so realistic! 😃 Re Rumbelows... I remember them, in fact I remember my dad rented our telly from them back in the day!

[@edjones3390]

Fabulous attention to period detail - looks great !

[@philnewstead5388]

I love your videos you attain a level of detail that I can only aspire to I don't consider myself old at 60 but it makes me feel old when you say you don't remember places like Rumbelows and Radio Rentals, my first serious girlfriend worked for Radio Rentals and my wife and I bought a lot of the white goods for our first flat at Rumbelows and we also decorated our flat with goods from Texas Homecare.

[@martinpattison1567]

I have watched this layout build over a long period of time and I am aways impressed my your attention to details and keeping every thing within the time frame that you are modeling. I find working on my layout more enjoyable when I have a train or 2 running on the first board. This also helped me with a radius problem i was having with a B12 loco slowing on the inner track curve at one end of the board. I had laid radius one curves without realizing it. I am using old steel track and nickel sliver track as i am very much on a budget. The raising costs of model railway prices is not helping a lot of people including me and how are the younger generations going to climb the first step into this hobby? Keep up all the good work. Martin. (Thailand)

[@christopherhurley8694]

#1 model train layout channel. Professional and beautiful layout. Such details. Amazing!

[@All_things_RC.]

Just planning to start building a model railway in N gauge myself. Your layout and work ethic is very inspirational and has my design mind overflowing with wonderful ideas. Thanks for you time and effort to make the video, keep up the great work.

[@user-xi6oy9xi4r]

Phenomemal attention to detail underpinned by creativity and an eye for the interesting.

[@wheezypalacemodels7726]

Amazing detail and great to have daily life away from the railway featured in your landscapes. Much more interesting and pleasing to the eye. Still one of my favourites and think it always will be. Great work as always Richard, hats off to you..👏🏻👏🏻..Chris

[@EverardJunction]

Thanks Chris, glad you enjoyed it. I've really enjoyed building the surrounding scenery. Easy to fall into the trap of putting track everywhere.

[@gavinolson5972]

Your sweeping curves really work. Outside of these tour videos, I can never tell where the actual corners in the layout are!

[@mattelliott3685]

Watched your new layout video on my brand new Lume pad 2 3D tablet, thanks to your great camera work it’s like actually being there… blew my mind how good the layout looks on 3D! It’s expensive but for all model makers, this is the way to view layouts, amazing!

[@mcmr4923]

You have a beautifully grim layout that wonderfully encapsulates the period. Thank you for sharing it.

[@danielbonham9336]

Fantastic video Richard your layout is amazing as always the work you put in is just wow, look forward to seeing the next video, 🎉

[@petergibbs65]

That is a lovely layout. So much hard work been put into it and all that detail. I bet that gets away from the outside world

[@edweatherup3887]

Thanks very much for this very comprehensive tour. Any Everard Junction video is worth watching multiple times.

[@Robls501510]

Tremendous layout. Thanks for posting these updates.

[@stephendavies6949]

Oh wow. I've been watching your videos for a while, so thanks you for the tour. It puts all the previous videos I have watched into perspective. Also, thanks for the tips and advice you provided as you took us around your truly magnificent creation. I echo every superlative written by my fellow commentators. It's epic!

[@jonathanpyle1375]

Brilliant Richard, the detail is immense and is just as the period was, almost blandly realistic, because thats how the landscape looked, totally amazing layout, well done and thanks for the vid, Jo

[@martynbuzzing3327]

I have been following you for quite a long time, and how your layout has evolved has been a pleasure to watch. The detail is amazing. Just when I think what else needs doing, you launch into a rebuild and make a great looking section into something amazing. Well done you. Thanks.

[@ianwhite7763]

Superb work Richard, no other words needed !!

[@michaelmiller641]

That's absolutely fantastic! So much work, and realistic too! You're one of the few model railway videos I've got time for! Wonderful! Well done!

[@josefbuckland]

Always outstanding. And if I spent as much time on my layout instead of videos insulation and lighting the layout more people would tune in oh well Rome wasn’t built in a day but your layout is truly breathtaking. Great stuff.

[@PaulinesPastimes]

This is a great video showcasing so much skill. Watching it reminded me of all the videos you have posted showing all the various sections and now I can see how it all fits together. I agree with you about not feeling pressured to work on the layout. It can't be rushed. My layout is tiny but, none the less, it still needs to be worked on when possible. I like to think of it as waiting for 'The Muse' to visit me and give me inspiration and ideas. Adds to the enjoyment for sure. 😊

[@Dralithian]

I am always in awe of your layout I was staggered by your first one but you can really see how you've improved and show your attention to detail! One suggestion as you strike me as the chap with the skills. Is when you do "night running" do you reckon you could kit a magnarail car with working headlights and taillights? Due to it being dark, can scrap the interior of these cars and could be powered by an onboard battery system or something. Looking forward to all of your next videos!

[@EverardJunction]

It's something I'd like to have a go at. Certainly possible, just not had to time to mess about with it yet. Cheers

[@duncandavies1966]

Beautiful work and an incredible attention to detail. From someone who's not into model railways. Well done!

[@Herriot7]

Lovely walk through time and place. Thank you for sharing your passion and modelling skills. Your detailed commentary is really helpful too, reflecting on your thoughts and consideration for each element.

[@edbateyjr.517]

Love the tour. Absolutely brilliant! You should use the instrumental track of The System's Don't Disturb This Groove for your next video opening. It's set right in that era😎

[@trainmanbob]

It must be great, Richard, to look at the layout now to realise that you actually own what is probably one of THE best "layouts at home" in the country. Every time I see this I have to pinch myself to believe some of the videos are not of a real location. I love your attitude to modelling but sadly when you get as old and disabled as me it is more a case of what you are going to finish, not about taking time to do it!! To me the one thing about this layout which I find such a shame is that it can never be taken to shows, so thank goodness for your excellent videos so at least your nearly 90,000 subscribers can enjoy it. Happy modelling! Cheers, Bob.

[@Amberlea-Model-Railway]

This is the bench-mark all us modelers strive to attain, great stuff Richard as usual - I regularly go back to your various "how to" videos for inspiration. Chris

[@greghale9972]

Hello Richard, thanks for posting such an interesting video of your layout. You should be extremely proud of what you have achieved. It is one of the best on KZbin. Regards Greg

[@robertcotgrave5920]

This layout not to put to finer point on it is awesome. I have never seen a layout like it. Well done. I would love to shake your hand.

[@benedictbingham5702]

Wonderful stuff! I’ve followed your channel since the first layout and it’s been a joy - and a real voyage of discovery. Keep up the good work! That empty restaurant should definitely be a Wimpy, by the way. It’s already the right colour! 😉

[@olisipocity]

Good afternoon. Been following you for some time now, but it is the first time I comment. Congratulations. I've seen the Pilentum Channel, among others, and i have to tell you that your model is at a superior level than many others 10 times the investment worth. Keep it up.

[@PATRICK-zj9xb]

Damn impressive! You're skill and attention to detail really show in your efforts. I'm very much looking forward to your future videos. Well done lad!

[@jimtrack3786]

Simply superb! I have not seen Everard Junction for many months and certainly appreciate the great efforts you have made. Over here across the pond my shelf layout will benefit from your instructions. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@colinnewmarch1106]

Absolutley superb layout tour, really nice to see the layout in its entirety , brilliant modelling

[@mattydred72]

I do love this layout. I’m enjoying watching your page even as a US modeler.

[@GlasshouseandGarden]

Amazing tour and great eye for detail. I really enjoy your updates and the narrative. 😊

[@eddherring4972]

Just wanted to say I appreciate all the work that goes into the layout. I also appreciate all the work that goes into the vids, an hour is a good length if you can do it, especially when they are spaced out I enjoyed this vid even more because it was longer but I could plan my time to be settled and really dedicate myself to watching it. Thank you Richard.

[@Loadarine]

45:28 you should put scaffolding on one of the houses. This will give that street character. Just an idea.

[@johng9399]

Magic! My better half looked across from the kitchen and thought it was a full size railway!
