Layout Update 19/09/2012

Here is the latest progress. If you fancy making the engine shed door check out this vid...
• Model railway 00 gauge...

[@minimadjohn]

Hello. Just want to say what a brilliant model railway, especially all done by yourself with no help from anyone else. I've been out of model railways for several years and yours has given me some inspiration to return to the hobby. Your scenery looks very good. Cheers, John

[@AVFCAM]

Every time I think that you couldn't impress me more, you do. The weathering on the Shell wagons looks incredible!

[@GandZscale]

Excellent update with some great shots of the layout. My favorite is the grassy hill entrance to the two tunnels. very nice. The shots of the loco entering the shed and the door operating were superb.

[@dcdad6]

What great layout with fantastic realism and detail. Love the opening door and the area around. Outstanding!! Keep up the good work, Always look forward to your videos..

[@tjfSIM]

It's always brilliant to see a new video from you appear on my homepage! I think this has to be your best video yet, really loved the camera angles in the second part of the video, especially the ones from inside the shed! Really great work!

[@percomotion]

Excellent update has always,the engine shed doors look and work superb in all your layout is coming on nicely.I must say very nice weathering all the best Kev.

[@DominicFawver]

Love the ending shot, through the engine shed. The roll up door looks quite real, and very similar to the full size (1:1 scale) ones I have installed. I really enjoy your videos, keep them coming.

[@FarlandHowe]

I really like the opening door on the Locomotive service building and paved areas around the track. Impressive!

[@milllanet.m.d7058]

love the door, really think it looks good how the loco light shows through when down. Connor

[@hornbachhh]

Hi Richard , your layout has really progressed well done sir. Nice to see the hst keep up the great work all the best Andy!

[@09mystic90]

[@jamesmarris4291]

Congrats also on being on the Hornby Channel, thanks for the link to build the roller door.

[@coldviper227]

that ending with the depot door as well brilliant

[@EverardJunction]

Thanks Nick, all the locos are fitted with kadee couplers to stop derailments. On long trains I all add extra weight to the lead wagon.

[@bfs1054]

Love your videos, love your layout! Great update... keep them coming!

[@tpe18509]

Looks Fantastic!

[@mokanlines]

The shed doors are too freaking cool!

[@AndyHudson-ModelRailwayBuilds]

[@conster1000]

Your layout is stunning great work :)

[@neilgen2003]

Excellent layout, and my chosen era as well .

[@howarth004]

Nice update , all looking very good

[@hovermotion]

Like the inside shot of shed, also the weathering of shell tanker no over done just right, good idea on the streeks of oil- rust from the top of shell tanker...

[@coldviper227]

that layout is amazing

[@o0poindexter0o]

Excellent Vid as always. Very informative and well narrated. Keep up the good work mate.

[@jakebrooker1888]

Thanks, I've used your vids alot to help me with my layout

[@Koenie1972]

Hallo, what a great layout and a lot of creativity. Still updates'?Can't wait.

[@Mhannifey]

always great work

[@retrainrun]

Great update! love all the bits and pieces you done, they add tremendously to the layout. And teach us(me) a lot about scenery and set placement of structures,grasses and shrubbery. 5***** :)

[@harryyoung4209]

as usual great layout and excellent tips

[@geezenstacks]

As always, a great video. Can you tell us how you painted the yellow lines on the concrete please. Thanks

[@EverardJunction]

Thanks, I tend to vacuum the layout from time to time to keep it clean.

[@MotoCrazy66]

I love the bit about the Mk 3 Cortina, it's absolutely hilarious!

[@anthony566]

Another very good update.

[@Dorsetsubaru]

Yet another cracking vid..... I think you should have a mag do a spread on your layout. So much detail

[@davidfrobel7582]

good vidio,looks so real when you get down whith the close shots,,how do you stop dust from collecting on your layout ,,i remember i had that problam on mine as a kid,,thanks for sharing.

[@trainkid773]

your videos are very helpful. they help me build my layout,oh i also forgot great layout update

[@TrainMadJames]

Nice Video and Love the Engine Shed doors

[@TotallyScaleModels]

looking really good. if mine looks half as good as this i will be very happy.

[@danielsaunders8459]

awesome man i love that garage that a nice touch :D

[@FiveElms]

Very nice. Jason.

[@EverardJunction]

If your just starting out there are loads of things to consider. Make sure you have an answer for the below before you begin construction.... What model guage best suits the space you have for the layout? Where you will use the layout? Where will you store it? How big will it be? What region will you model? What era will be represented? What track plan would fit onto the baseboard? DCC or DC operation? What tools do you have?

[@superpoodle2]

You've done a good job well done

[@Branch170]

Gran trabajo en tu maqueta con muy buenos detalles...!!! saludos

[@trackspike64]

which video do u show weathering ur track

[@hornbylocomotive8004]

love your channel, i've been a long turm viewer (on a diffrent account), keep it up:)

[@Arrivatrainswalesfan]

Love the detail where did you get the actual biulding from?

[@thelibrarian46]

The ground is probably a still a bit wet to turn over on the allotment, with all the rain lately.

[@chasingthesteam]

how do u manage to do the concrete between the rails. i wanted to do that but got annoyed trying to work it out so didnt bother

[@Hornby09c]

What's the grimy stuff that u used on part of the ground for the weathered cars at the garage?

[@bloodmarine77]

Wow some really good improvements.I love what you have done with the new tmd and the weathering on that tanker is first class.but most of all I really like the loco shed automatic doors. Im jealous that your able to run trains as im dying to get some action but as I have only just started building my new layout its going to be months before I see a loco run. Also did u hand paint the yellow lines by free hand?.

[@Thom518]

VERY nice ! Congratulation !

[@hillsdeng1]

You got any of the Peaks class locomotive im quite interesred in one

[@DjSideways]

Hi. Just wanted to know what you do with your large rakes of coaches. Do you keep them on the track or remove them.

[@humzakhan2149]

I live in Canada, so our locos are somewhat different from yours, but I noticed that locomotives like the Class 50's have 6 axles. What is the minimum track radius that you use for them? (i.e. like on the helixes and other parts of the layout)

[@LoaftheProtogen]

Possibly second radious

[@EwanGVids]

Nice layout mate

[@nataroonytrontime3976]

What is the number on the closest DMU at 17:48

[@EverardJunction]

The grass in that area is made by silfor, I used the 6mm summer grass they make.

[@TomCro2022]

Super nice wiew !

[@LuxxSlovenia]

Where is the river part from early layout updates?

[@haliemdull2024]

hai what the brand of the grass use in 00:00-00:14 Looks great Thanks

[@simonsmith86]

We're do you get your trains

[@jakebrooker1888]

where do you get your cork stuff that you put under the track from? could you use cereal box cardboard instead? thanks :D

[@deucenyful]

Great job as usual u r realy good I have learned a lot from u thanks 4 always sharing DEUCE NY HOLA

[@StiggyVids]

How do you fit light in to buffers please make a vid

[@TheChubbyController]

why nat get a steam loco and whether it up. and put in whit paint on the front last of steam?

[@Matthewmodeller229]

What is the office building made of and how was it made?

[@trainkid773]

will u do alayout update before xmas

[@EverardJunction]

Thanks, you can't avoid tight corners on model railways sometimes. Best thing to do is hide them.

[@hegz1484]

you could put some cows on the viewing side of the branch line ?!!? it is amazing how relatively fast you have made this layout grow! it's epic.

[@EverardJunction]

I have a fiddle yard on the lower deck of the layout. I park the trains in there.

[@johnc2ful]

a truly amazing layout. How do you lay so much track and get such long trains running so well? It almost makes me give up

[@vossl005]

Such an amzing layout with fantastic realism and detail. You must have spent a fortune on all the rolling stock you use! What type of grass did you use around the slightly hilly area where the two mainlines and branchline feed into the helix?

[@ryan123boi]

Everad junction, what's your views on the heljan class 47?

[@jamespinderphotoman]

awesome once again :D

[@zzpjl8]

Mate, this is fantastic stuff! How much have you done already! Incredible, and your standard is just super! I love the opening door, and what a job on the tanker. We will see if you have your sanity after how many more are ahead of you to weather! Your 'stacker' seems to work very well indeed. Are you using buckeye couplers on the class 60 to prevent derailing the leading wagons? Just fabulous, what else can I say! regards Nick

[@TotallyScaleModels]

got my tickets for warley, going subday. are you going.

[@jacobporrett]

Great shots of the engine shed i really liked them. Are you going to put white line on your road. Great video well done :-)

[@EverardJunction]

I'll be there, probably Saturday

[@foxcell]

Looking Good :-D

[@AndyHudson-ModelRailwayBuilds]

Hi Richard, quick question, where did you get the light on the side of you old signal box, just had a quick look on Kyteslight, but couldn't see them. cheers Andy

[@simonsmith86]

Do you get any for model zone

[@EverardJunction]

The shed is a Peco kit from Hattons.

[@mastererik323]

How did you form your hills?

[@hayden7257]

where do u get the little people from?

[@BorderCuttingJunc]

You should have an emu, we have them alot in the ex-nse area

[@EverardJunction]

That was taken off when I built the new part of the layout.

[@willdudeyo]

Wow awesome

[@kacperzawadzki9408]

DO YOU USE DC OR DCC

[@Badgersize]

like the engine shed door. what program do you use to edit your videos? thanks

[@simonsmith86]

Thank you for helping me

[@rubber20021]

Remember, a layout is never complete! You have done a lot.

[@TrainMasterJack]

[@philkyle8919]

hi what did you make the doors out of please for the depot ?

[@EverardJunction]

I used corrugated plasticard.

[@philkyle8919]

Thank you

[@exeterwestgroup6466]

How do u do your drivers eye view

[@EverardJunction]

[@EverardJunction]

I buy a lot of them from ehattons, they have a website you can order from.

[@radoicoco4654]

min 15:58 to 16:14 Super nice wiew !

[@ACE999]

Love your detailed videos. I just can't help wondering which *one* person gave it a dislike? Your mother-in-law isn't on-line is she? :)

[@EverardJunction]

Check out episode 10 of my howto video series.

[@DjSideways]

Ah.i see ..so you basically have some lare sidings. Only thing when u have large rakes..you need to put them somewhere.

[@EverardJunction]

A cereal box can work. I've used that in some places.
