Model Railway | New Depot Build Update 14 | Dean Park 250

[@TheDaf95xf]

Evening Dave. Just what the doctor ordered a an update on Dean park 👍🏻 The 08 looks fantastic too 😊 Since I've been furloughed from work I've made a start on my layout after a three of absence 🙁 It's through you Dave, Charlie, Richard and others on KZbin have given me inspiration to make a start. So a big thank you 😊 Cheers Stevie 😎

[@DeanPark]

Cheers Stevie, hopefully we will all be back to normal soon but in the meantime enjoy your layout building. Dave

[@martinpattison4018]

I have always liked to watch your channel. To me, and this is only my opinion, your layout is by far the best detailed, the, best modelled and is a great example for others, to follow.They can see what can be achieved with time and patience. I have not entered your competition as I live so far away. I wish everybody all the best. Stay Safe and Take care. These are dangerous times. Martin. (Thailand)

[@DeanPark]

Martin, that is very generous of you to say that. Thank you. :-) I try my best and always try to push myself to try new techniques and ideas. That’s how I learn :-) for you to notice and appreciate all the time, patience and effort I put in is very kind. Stay safe. Dave

[@StationRoadModelRailway]

I have to say your eye for detail is incredible. Your videos never cease to amaze me. The low relief warehouse looks absolutely immaculate, keep up the brilliant work👍

[@leeludlowart237]

What a talent. As an artist I see the art in everything. I see in shapes and colours and you sir are a real artist. To create this with your own hands is quite incredible. I couldn’t do this. I’m starting my own layout too. I got my 1986 midnight freight train set and my night mail both by Hornby and ordering loads of track. I’m so excited and your videos excite me even more to get started. Thank you for sharing your amazing videos my friend. 👍

[@medwaypeninsulaMR]

Thanks for the update which was a most enjoyable half hour. The ware house looks excellent and from a couple of shots you got to see the weathering which was effective. Congratulations on how popular the competition is it was a great idea...……..Cheers Kev

[@keithgarr5534]

Hi Dave just had my loft boarded out and baseboards just about layed, watched just about all your videos and love your layout it has given me plenty of ideas of how to go about doing things. keep up the outstanding work and stay safe through these challenging times.

[@DeanPark]

Keith Garr cheer Keith! Thanks for your support. Good luck with your project!... exciting times :-) Dave

[@WestHillWagonWorks]

That Class 08 looks superb, a pat on the back to the weathering job on that!

[@standclear502]

Great video presentation dave, the way you spilt it into sections helps maintain the attention span 👍🏻 Your warehouse & other buildings look fab! Your layout is outstanding! And is coming On a treat! Loving the new addition of bachy Gronk, Ive got one too 👍🏻 Shame you cant get a speak Inside, would the bachy sugar cube not go in with some surgery? Always look forward to your dean park 💜 content! 👍🏻 And a shout out to Richard @Everard junction ❤️ For signposting me to dean park! Well done lads 👌🏻

[@DeanPark]

Stand Clear hi! Thank you for stopping by and watching my video, I’m loving the Gronk as well :-) thanks for your kind words. It means a lot, cheers. Dave

[@Chulain]

Another great video Dave, your scratch building is on point mate. I've always thought the only way to get exactly what you want is to make it yourself. Top job!

[@DeanPark]

Chris Ritchie hi thanks. Yeah it got to a point where I couldn’t find what I wanted... so decided to take the plunge and start designing and making them myself. I love the designing part as much as the making. Cheers. Dave

[@yorkiepudd7404]

I`m always stunned by your scratch building how everything improves yet blends perfectly with the previous builds. The 08 just looks mint and not a usual sound loco lover i gotta say the 158 is 100% improvement in quality, clarity and volume yet does not blast your ears off, keep the mint work coming cheers ken.

[@DeanPark]

yorkie pudd Cheers Ken, your comment is really kind, thank you. I work hard to make sure nothing looks out of place and just ‘plonked’ on the layout, so it’s great to get feedback on that. I’m loving the 08 and the new 158 sound. Cheers. Dave

[@yorkiepudd7404]

@@DeanPark - The only plonking you do Dave is your ass plonked on chair to watch the trains go by hehe 😆 👍

[@robmasterman]

Another superb update Dave, you've certainly been very busy since the last one. Some fine weathering on your locos, although the coupling rods on the 08 I feel could so with a little more dirt as the yellow seems to distract from the otherwise excellent results. The improved speaker in the 158 certainly has improved it over the original Bachmann unit, so thanks again for producing another one of your superb updates...Bob

[@DeanPark]

Robert Masterman cheers Bob. Yes I might add some more muck to the rods at some point. I hope you are staying safe and keeping well. Cheers. Dave

[@brucewelsh1969]

Thanks for the up date Dave 😁

[@thomashinerman2626]

Good afternoon Dave. Another great video. You have been busy in March. The warehouse looks great. and the new factory I expect will be the same. The new speakers in the class 158 make a huge difference. All in all, everything you show in the video qualifies Dean Park's tag line. Please remember to keep "Your physical or social distance". "And to wash you hands". "And do not touch your face". Sorry. I can imagine you are tired of hearing it, as we in Canada are, but it works. Stay safe in your loft and keep working on the layout. I am patiently waiting for your next video. Take Care.

[@JPoulAndersson]

That scratchbuilding is exquisite David, your joints and attention to detail are ever so lovely! Joachim

[@eddyweller4503]

Brilliant work Dave, your attention to detail is second to none, every time I see some of your scenery/building I notice something else, its inspiring keep up the good work stay safe Eddy xx

eddy weller cheers Eddy :-) Dave

[@kirktonroadjunction193]

Love the quality and detail of your scratch built buildings, you've got a lot of patience. I bought myself a Bachmann class 158 and you were right, I wasn't disappointed. It's simply a stunning model.... Stay safe!

[@DeanPark]

Kirkton Road Junction thanks :-) I try me best lol. Yeah the 158 is a beauty :-)

[@steveharper5536]

Hi Dave thanks for the new update, the depot build gets better and better with each addition, look forward to seeing further additions as you create them. Cheers Steve

Great update Dave and excellent work on the scratch buildings, looking so realistic with the eye for detail, that’s a massive response to your competition and shows how much respect you have from your followers and the trade alike, thanks for keeping us all absorbed during this difficult time and stay safe and well , cheers Darrell

[@DeanPark]

Cheers Darrell. Its thanks to the companies big and small and organsations like the DPS that add generously to the prize haul. Nearly at 800 entries now....'most' of them are correct lol. Cheers. Dave

DaveClass47 nice one Dave cheers, I think I found Frank eventually, must have watched the 2nd half about 20 times 😆

[@MartinFutter70]

I wondered when a shunter would make an appearance. Always had a soft spot for these little locomotives. My brother has unearthed all our old catalogues, his with the green loco on which I always fondly remember flicking through, was Triang/Hornby issue 18 (1972) - the loco, not a Deltic as I thought it might be, but a Type 2 Co-Bo diesel/electric with Condor emblazoned on the front. In researching that, there's even a film out there of the artist, Terence Cuneo, painting the real thing sitting on the lines. My catalogue, issue 32 (1986), had a shunter I always wanted, listed as R.803 and numbered 08938, was coloured in a kind of Railfrieght livery, but it was the little Scottie dog which caught my eye. This even when I was a lad of 16, down here in Norwich, my fondness was for all things Scottish. Some fond nostalgia looking through these pages of days gone by. Never got that shunter, ended up with a hideous Lima/blue thing in the end, he says, heading off to eBay 😆

[@stmichaelshill7421]

Big month with a lot of work done Dave! Scratch builds are looking superb!

[@DeanPark]

St Michael's Hill cheers mate. There’s always something to keep us all busy isn’t there... my list of to-do’s is longer than ever :-) Dave

[@mickeybarrass3625]

Layouts looking great, the gronk has arrived. That's just adds even more realism to the depot. The 158 sounded a helluva lot better with new speaker but they killed the 47/7 push pull and trans pennine turns, so I tend to screw my face like I'm eating a lemon when I see one. Nothing personal to you or the layout. That new build is gonna be even more work, your quest for realism knows no bounds lad. A really top effort with the competition. Hats off to you Dave. Keep up the good work.Thank you for sharing.

[@DeanPark]

Mickey Barrass cheers, yeah I love the 47/7 more than the 158’s :-) I like to push myself with the scratch builds and make them as real as my skills allow :-) cheers. Dave

[@MM-vt1ir]

Outstanding Dave :-) I'm so impressed by all you've done and ongoing, well done. I am quite taken aback from the amount of response to your competition too, Wow! & ongoing I imagine. Well done to all the people who have jumped in with competition prizes too, I tip my hat to those for their generosity. As always a pleasure to see your videos, it always brings a big smile for me. All the best. Iain

[@DeanPark]

M M Thank you so much for that feedback Iain. It made me smile knowing that I make others like yourself smile with what I do. So thank you for saying that. The competition has become huge!

Great as always Dave thanks for lifting our spirits in these difficult times.

[@EverardJunction]

Scratch building an inspiration as always Dave. I certainly picked up a few ideas, keep up the good work. I'd be interested to see what you come up with for the factory roof. Cheers

[@DeanPark]

EverardJunction cheers. I’m enjoying the challenges presented by scratch builds. It makes progress on the layout slow, but I’d rather do it this way so I’m happy with the results.... you know the score ;-) the factory roof... I’m changing my mugs in that daily lol.. tiles, corrugated/asbestos or cladding. It’s a dilemma, but rest assured, it’ll need primer! Dave

[@chazzyb8660]

Your layout brickies must be earning a fortune, they do the most consistently beautiful work. Over the generations. 17:16 Close couplings, but still no corridor connectors - grrrr. The new low-relief buildings for the back of the DMU are really great and add to the 'realism' so much. And of course its nice to see your running 'interludes'. I can't help scanning them now, trying to see if your wee 'armless man will show up again. I'm still only up to 5 sightings though. "Doh!"

[@cedarcam]

At last you got an 08 and what a great looking loco it is TMC have made it very realistic. I also started going to Rails after Hattons moved out of Liverpool and have been very satisfied. The shop is well worth a visit if you ever get in the area. The 158 sound is really good Thanks for showing how to change the speaker. I am hoping for a Scotrail version in future. Keep safe and stay well Dave and I hope for another update soon

[@DeanPark]

cedarcam cheers. I’ve visited Hatton las but I’d love to go to Rails for a visit. One day when all the mad times have passed perhaps! Look after yourself. Dave

[@graememorrison5456]

Great update Dave thoroughly enjoyed this, keep up the great work 🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏

[@DeanPark]

Cheers. :-)

[@CycolacFan]

Going to suggest the office roof needs one or more of the following, car tyres, a bright orange football, old mattress, bicycle frame. That's how I remember 1980s roofs. Maybe a barrier around the door since it's so close to running lines? Keep up the great work.

[@vlogthatrain3152]

08 looks ace. I’m more an 03 man myself but still can’t beat the look of an 08!

[@DeanPark]

I am really impressed with the 08 weathering....the model mechanism itself isnt the best. lol. But I really like the 08 in real life. Dave

[@thegrowler-blackwoodngauge]

Great bit of low relief work - especially the down pipe with the kink to bring it back to the wall - perfectly modelled. Class 08 superbly weathered by TMC - I picked up a Class 33 in N gauge from TMC at model rail Scotland, the work they do is fantastic - even down to the bits of rust patches on the model. Must send in my entry to your competition as I've now identified the 6 clips. Hope you and family are safe in these uncertain times we live in. Cheers Euan

[@DeanPark]

Cheers Euan, yeah the downpipe tested my patience lol. Stay safe. Cheers. Dave

FIVE dislike?These folk need to be taken outside and thrashed with an old rolled up copy of Railway Modeller! 😆Looking great Dave and love the way you broke the video down into parts. BIG shame about no sound in the 08 though 🙁

[@DeanPark]

EtonieE thanks. The 08 literally has no space in it for a speaker! As for the dislikes.. oh it doesn’t bother me... some people would dislike a video that gave them a free £1000 ! Lol. They clearly like disliking for the sake of it, but all ratings, likes and dislikes count positively in a videos rating so they’re doing me a favour lol. Cheers. Dave

That's quite a month you've had there Dave, great stuff. I have been waiting for an 08 to appear on the layout, it's long overdue. That's a nice example you have there too, the weathering is especially good, and it will look great moving coaching stock around in the station, or just seen in the background of running shots whilst it waits for it's next working. Keep up the good, no, fantastic work on your superb layout.

I've just ordered a second batch of Hunt couplers. I see they are doing a wider range now that bring goods wagons in particular much closer together. So impressed with them and I have just modified a pair to fit on a Bachmann Class 04 - the first loco I have tried them on. Liking all the scratch building - I have a fair few resin and kit built buildings but I'm also scratch building some larger structures. Cheers

[@DeanPark]

Yeah Davie, I think they are looking to add more and more to their range. They are great couplers. Cheers. Dave

[@stevewood5993]

Excellent video Dave. The new speakers in the Class 158 have just made it even better.

[@DeanPark]

I agree, such a massive improvement. The Bachmann sound recording is excellent, but the tiny speaker wasnt! Cheers. Dave

[@stuartsayer1982]

With the warehouse at the beginning, I would put some black weathering powders at the bottom of the brickwork, as a building that is close to a line with diesel locomotives running on, you would expect to see exhaust fumes hitting the wall and changing the brickwork colour, also maybe add a bit of graffiti as you may expect that on that type of building/area it is in.. But then your warehouse could be a work in progress Love the 08 class still my favorite train.

[@FlyingScott]

I absolutely love what you're doing with the factory, looking forward to see how that progresses

[@DeanPark]

Flying Scott cheers. Progress might slow on it a bit as the guy I use for laser cutting details is in lockdown and I can’t get my windows or roof skylights done lol. But I’ve plenty more to do on other parts of the depot! :-)

Another brilliant update. I see you've been making good use of our current predicament. Lot's of work done. I think that weathered shunter might be my new favourite of your rolling stock; it just looks amazing. Your latest building project looks to me like it might turn out to be your best yet. A popular KZbinr made a post on Twitter recently, recommending channels for others to watch on KZbin since so many are at home currently; I replied to it and recommended yours among a few others, and I've just noticed another big KZbinr (*20 million+ subscribers*, big!) has left a comment here today, so hopefuly it might increase traffic to the channel and bring more subscribers. You really don't need to be part of the scene to enjoy this type of content, and I do hope more people come to watch. All the best. David. **Edit** - Sorry, I was briefly taken in by what is actually a fake duplicate account mimicking/scamming from a larger KZbinr. I wasn't aware this was a 'thing'. It seems there's a lot of this happening just now because KZbin haven't the normal staff levels currently to deal with it.

[@DeanPark]

Hi, thanks for that and for the shout out. Thats really very kind of you. As for the fake accounts...yes I have noticed this too. I have actually taken out a few fake/spam comments from a few of my videos in just the last fews days. A sign of the current times! Cheer. Dave

[@markwilson8002]

[@Xantec]

looking good Dave, however for the northlight factory, I think the vehicle access door would be better as a hanging concertina door rather than a roller door, or perhaps a sliding that hangs off a rail (so you can open it on scene)

[@Niles442]

Hello Dave from California. You have installed down pipes on the warehouse. Just a suggestion.... should you also add a down pipe to the office structure since it has a flat roof? Your craftsmanship is outstanding!

[@DeanPark]

Hi thanks Steve. Yeah I thought about adding one but decided to give the impression it was off scene! :-) a bit of modellers license... but I’ve not ruled adding it in the future, so thanks for that suggestion. Cheers Dave

[@billysastard9150]

Also worth bearing in mind that a lot of buildings of this type of construction have have done pipes within the structure 👍

[@thelibrarian46]

It looks very realistic. Are the agency staff on the night shift in the warehouse able to go somewhere to get a hot drink, and sit down to have their break? Perhaps you could add a few dingy orange plastic chairs outside by the door, and a bit of litter on the ground?

[@thomaslord756]

Hi Dave, how about for the North light second story factory have the top floor with skylights and filled full of draftsman with drawing boards which would be quite common in this type of factory from this type of era? Just a thought mate

So it’s just a case of taking each part at a time.

Hi Dave, Another great update. Your layout really is one of the best there is. If you don;t mind can I ask two quick questions. Is there a specific reason you use MDF rather than say 2mm mount board that is used by a lot of people, and can you cut the MDF with something like a Stanley knife. Thanks. Stay safe and well. Best wishes from Manchester.

Hi eric, worldwide shipping starts on monday :-)

[@ericsainte290]

@@WestHillWagonWorks Thanks for the information. I'll be sure to order next week as I really want to test this now I've seen on your video how it's easy to install and how well it performs... Also I'm in the process of designing an adapter for NEM couplers to add to OO gauge wagon and carriages as well as on locomotives that are not factory equipped like old production (i have for example old Lima as well as Airfix GMR locomotives I really want to keep but with the added benefit of having the Kadee coupler installed way easier than with the usual n° 5. When the prototype is done, I'll let you know how it works and if it's to be put on the market (it'll depend on the response of the modellers here in Belgium for it as they are mainly used to the classic Symoba system that requires quite an amount of fiddling to install, specially on locomotives, where a system using the natural flexibility of the materials to ensure the elongation of the coupler's arm as used by Bachmann is better, but the Bachmann system I think work only for short vehicules where I want mine to be usable with both small vehicules and bigger ones like bogie coaches.)

Great update , your layout is looking amazing . Love the whole look of the depot , nice job 👍 Also with your Bachmann class 158 , mine is the same as yours . I’ve programmed it and it’s jerky when it starts off , it’s in a high speed step (126) but I haven’t run it in yet , literally just put on track so to test late last night. Any ideas why , is there a cv I can change. First off I will fully run it in and see if that does it today. It’s weird it’s fine when it’s running, just starting off and stopping abruptly .

[@DeanPark]

Hi, thats strange. Is it a sound fitted one? You really want to give it a running in for a long time to see if it solves it. If this doesnt work, I would try chaning over the decoder to see if that is the culprit? Run it in DC mode to see if its the decoder? Dave

[@AmeryJunction]

DaveClass47 yeah it’s sound fitted , not sure what was wrong run it in 1 hour each way and still was the same . So reset decoder fully and then re programmed it and is all fine now . Thanks for replying 😎👍
