Model Railway | February 2021 Layout Update | Dean Park 271

[@StationRoadModelRailway]

Another great video Dave. I would have to say it is your meticulous planning and methodical processes to scratch building that inspire me with my modelling making efforts. And this video has given me some ideas for low-relief backscene structures in some more irregular spaces on my layout. Brilliant stuff as always. Cheers, Julian

[@simontrainsmodelrailway]

Loving the update on Dean Park, the scratch build factory looking impressive so far.

[@gazclass58]

WOW dave brilliant update well worth the wait much enjoyed watching it and looking forward to the next one. Take care and happy modeling.

[@tabriff3832]

I only got 15 seconds in, and I had to rewind several times to listen to that 37. Perfect!

[@pauljohnson4525]

lol i was the same

[@DeanPark]

It was a lovely sound! :-)

[@cedarcam]

I am sure the factory will look great. The design looks very like a textile mill in my area which was also right next to the railway. A pipe constantly blowing steam out across the track very close to a signal which was always in the haze and the railway boundary wall there was caked in grey dust which was in he steam. The electric train with MK3 stock brings back memories, at first the buffet was a MK1 and looked odd amongst the sleek lines of the new stock

Nice update, good to see the 85 running👍 Cheers John b😷

[@JPoulAndersson]

Love everything you do David. You're extremely thorough and consistent in the quality of your workmanship! Such detail takes time but is completely worth it. Cheers, Joachim

[@DeanPark]

Thanks. Yeah it takes a lot of time. But as you say, it’s worth it. Cheers. Dave.

[@tmcg972]

Thank you for this update, the angled factory building is a great idea. Can imagine it will look superb once finished, just like your other projects. Also thanks for the detailed descriptions on how you did it. Keep it up and stay safe!

[@TheDaf95xf]

Morning Dave. Welcome back and hope your keeping well 👍🏻 Factory looking great filling in that space especially when your put it on an angle 😄 Love your OLE but try and hang wires 🤣 Can’t believe how far Dean park has come on since the beginning. Keep the excellent work up cheers Stevie 😎

[@stephenkell7314]

Great work Dave love the new factory building looks fantastic can’t wait to see it finished love the layout and what you are doing

[@domniven]

Great layout, brings back memories of 80s at Glasgow Central

[@NQY-flyer]

Loved the 37 running light at the start 😎 As always a Finely presented video with clear and concise commentary The Depot area is stunning and the new build factory will look great once completed Keep up the inspiring good work. Regards

[@DeanPark]

Hi Kevin, cheers. The sound of a 37 is always a crowd pleaser :-)

[@roystudds1944]

Great update. Thanks for sharing. Roy.

[@medwaypeninsulaMR]

Hi Dave - Great to catch up with Dean Park and to see what your plans are and looking forward to seeing the lino factory come to life . After finally making the jump to getting an Airbrush I too will be making baby steps starting with wagons, then coach underframes and I think it will be a fair while until it gets anywhere near a loco !! Keep safe..............Cheers Kev

[@simonbradshaw3708]

Another enjoyable update video, thank you for taking the time to out these together

[@NicholassTrainChannel]

Hello Dave nice video the scratch build turned out pretty well i myself enjoy scratch building the new class 20 looks good i like the new coaches too. Cheers and all the best. Nicholas.

[@trainmanbob]

Great video as always Dave. Cheers, Bob

[@stephenriley9084]

Always good to get a dose of precision from you. Makes me up my game with my own endeavours. Regards Stephen.

[@DeanPark]

Hi Stephen, thanks. I do enjoy doing things right. Ok, it may take me twice as long than someone who isnt so interested in precision, but each to their own. The next stages of the build will follow in March, when I can hopefully complete the project...and move on to the next scratch build! Cheers. Dave

[@simaesthesia]

Quality not speed! Amazing as always, Dave. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos. Really, really appreciate the level of detail in your modelling - it's truly fine.

[@DeanPark]

Cheers Simon, I’m really glad you appreciate what I do. :-)

[@onnomulder9775]

Thank you for this nice update Dave!! I enjoyed it a lot. Cheers Onno.

[@pauljohnson4525]

Fantastic Dave ..... Loving the sound affects

[@bjoe385]

2:23 those wasp stripe livery pencils take me back, I haven’t seen on of those since I was as school.

[@DeanPark]

Haha! You still get them! They are quality. :-) Dave

[@gilesforrest3945]

Really enjoyed and watching you build the factory great stuff and brilliantly done. Really enjoy watching the trains go by too very realistic looking. This keeps me going while I construct mine which will be Scottish based.

[@DeanPark]

Thanks. I like to break the video up with running shots. Good luck with your build.

[@georgegraham3342]

You can tell by the smell the next stop’s Kircaldy!

[@AndyHudson-ModelRailwayBuilds]

Excellent content again David love the Linoleum factory very impressive. Tip for weathering the roof of your mk1's, use a black wash streaking across the carriage, you can also drag it down the sides to show dirt running down the carriage from rain. Once dry mist your roof dirt over top to blend the rood roof back.

[@DeanPark]

thanks for that! I was waiting for someone to educate me in that on their videos, but you've given me food for thought while I wait! Cheers.

[@brucewelsh1969]

Great video as usual Dave. Thanks.

[@TrentValleyRailway]

Excellent update, been watching the scratch build progress on other socials

[@ewoodrailway]

Hi Dave loving the scratch build. I particularly like your depot area reminds me a little of haymarket depot.

[@DeanPark]

That’s great that you said that, mine is ‘loosely’ based on some elements of my depot. Cheers. Dave

[@thescrapline4905]

Leaps and bounds, progress all over the layout in the last 8 or so years is unreal! Cheers for the mention though. You'll certainly suprise a few when all that traction and rolling stock rolls round with some muck on them. Just the simple task like the wheels and bogie frames makes a whole world of difference to those factory efforts. To take them to another level a spot of dark pin wash to the door lines and some grease to the bogies is enough to see them out. I do feel sorry for that chap sat in the corner of the factory given the mundane task of applying basic factory weathering. 😆

[@eddherring4972]

Just thought I’d mention that Graham Fulston of ‘Lakeside’ has an excellent modified flying banana with a pantograph fitted mk3 which may (or may not) be of interest to you.

[@davidstrains4910]

Great update Dave layout is looking really good

[@tonylarkin7564]

Gday Dave,I had my ear plugs in this morning and your 37 sounded so Good .(had to listen to it twice) Thanks it was great, and I did enjoyed the rest of your Excellent Work. Your layout is looking Fantastic..👍👍😁 Regards Tony..🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@DeanPark]

It takes a lot to beat the sound of a 37 giving it some throttle. :-) thanks for watching. Dave

[@DonaldSimsProduction]

Beautiful work.

[@lapiswake6583]

Looking good. The hunt originals I had for my oxford mk3as weren't strong enough for if an older loco like a lima 47 or 87 jerked while hauling it, or a newer loco over a dead spot of track, so they kept uncoupling. So I'll need an elite version of them instead. I'm unsure if I'll be electrifying my layout, although I do regularly run electric things like 350s on it.

[@trelly4472]

Loving this update, especially the new scratch build factory. Can’t wait to see how you get on with the progress. Take care, stay safe

[@medwaymodelrailway7129]

Very good video .well done.keep it up.

[@medwaymodelrailway7129]

Your welcome

[@michaelgrange8791]

Just watched a KZbin video by Soi Buakhao of trains in Scotland there two 117 in Edinburgh in rr livery but pleased keep up the good work

[@daviemaclean61]

It's a shame Nairn didn't have the foresite to make their building from concrete! You could have just detailed the mock up. Looking forward to seeing this big building come along.

[@johnboughton7451]

Dave, just to let you know that Alan of Buckland Junction gave you a mention & was very complementary about you & Dean Park

[@DeanPark]

Hi John, thanks for letting me know. I’ll head over to check that out. Cheers

[@EtonieE25]

Yes David those cows had to go! 😎

[@stephenfarmer5216]

Excellent video again Dave, love your scratch building! Quick question - your tower lighting back around the engine sheds, where did you get those from? I cant seem to find any anywhere, and would love to pick some up for my container yard. Thanks Stephen

Awesome, as usual. 👍😃

[@marklittlejohn1457]

Great video thankyou

[@clivecobbold6815]

Hi Dave another great video mate I really enjoyed it every interesting I have a 00 model of rtc test car10 mk3a coach on my layout are you going to have one of new realtrack class156 dmu in BR Strathclyde livery when they come out in November? stay safe and well Dave goodbye for now clive

[@DeanPark]

Hi, yeah I’ve ordered a 156. Can’t wait.

[@clarkshepherd5477]

Hello Dave , I’m a new subscriber so haven’t got through all your videos just yet! Iv just saw the ones I’d find useful when I get going my self , I don’t know if you’ve gone through it before but I wanted to know how you scale your scratch builds ?? Cheers , Clark

[@andrewpalm2103]

Just a question or two from a confused Yank subscriber. Is the new factory built from laser cut wood? Did you cut it? And the reference to MDF is unknown to me. Thanks for sharing your building methods. Cheers from Wisconsin.

[@Rule1ModelRailways]

Lol, literally just release my February update within minutes of yours!

[@davidcarlisle4944]

Hi Dave, I think I have said before, I’m going to be modelling haymarket in n gauge in my loft space and having just fitted a loft ladder and hatch, I’m now looking at flooring. I have modern trusses and was looking at the loftzone raised storage system for my loft. Your trusses and general loft layout is the same as mine. Do you mind me asking you how you got around the fear of overloading your trusses? Did you use loftzone or something similar, or did you build a separate raised platform for walking on? I love your videos, your an inspiration for me to get on and give my ten locos a home! Cheers Davey C

[@DeanPark]

Hi. I laid wooden planks the length of my loft (fixing them to the trusses) before screwing the chipboard to them. With all the added cross members to support the baseboards I’ve probably added rigidity and strength to my roof structure. Remember, your roof trusses have a factor of safety engineered in, as the roof is designed to take loads of snow, high winds etc without failing. So adding a model railway shouldn’t be an issue. My house is built on a breezeblock/cavity/brick design. The roof trusses therefore sit on the breezeblock walls. A lot of modern builds are wooden framed and therefore the trusses sit on the wooden frame... these houses generally have lofts that can’t be used. I got an engineer to advise, before flooring, removing trusses etc. Then a joiner to assist in adding the required support.

[@davidcarlisle4944]

Thanks Dave for getting back. I spoke with a couple of builders today who are quoting for a raised platform that doesn’t touch the joists and is supported by connection to the ring beam. Being a timber frame house I can’t just add joists from the external walls which are only a brick skin. Fingers crossed I have a reasonably inexpensive solution! It’s expensive enough to ready my loft for a layout and as much as I am dying to get on with my layout, there is a limit to how much I would spend to get there!

[@ian1957ruth]

Great layout. A Quick question was the MDF laser cut?

[@DeanPark]

Hi, thanks. Some parts were yes. I am fortunate enough to have occasion access to a mates small laser cutter.

[@ian1957ruth]

@@DeanPark Nice little Brucie bonus.

[@johnson_street_IEMD]

Hi Dave, great video there, i have to ask, how do you go about making your intro thing on KZbin? Is there somewhere online for this?

[@DeanPark]

Intro? The thumbnail or the clip with the 37?

[@johnson_street_IEMD]

@@DeanPark well, I was thinking both the intro and the closing driven by detail thing which has a "click here to take folk to the next video - and your logo and slogan "driven by detail" ... I have some ideas about how I want my intro etc but I just dont know where to start .. kind regards, Kat :-)

Have the council granted planing permission for the factory?

[@DeanPark]

Oh this was built long before the council had any authority 😆

Too many adverts. Getting silly now

[@tomhsclass2674]

Get KZbin Vanced, no adverts!

[@Oorail]

Yeah the ads are starting to detract from the content.. surprised Dave hasn't just limited it to the start and end...

[@cedarcam]

4 Adds in the first 5 mins. I have stopped watching these 'live' now and download them to watch later. The constant adds are ruining youtube.

[@Oorail]

@@cedarcam Its totally under the control of the creator though. You just have to turn off mid-roll ads, and you can adjust the frequency. Unlike TV where the ads are placed at points to not disrupt the content, on KZbin not too many creators figure that out so its just disruptive..

[@cedarcam]

@@Oorail OK I did not know because on my channel I do not have any. I upload my videos to share with people not to make money. Dave has been told about the number of adds before and has said he will try to reduce them, maybe he has and for some reason he gets a default setting back again. What is most annoying is where they appear the slightest pause in the sound track seems to trigger them. Another layout I follow only had one midway through in 23 minutes of viewing. On another note I have very recently found someone copied and re edited some of my video and uploaded it on their channel which has adds so they are making money out of it whilst I am not.

You have to be in construction don't you? Attention to detail and familiarity with terminology all says you're in the industry.
