Model Railway New Depot Update 3 | Peco Inspection Pits | Dean Park 206

[@dexterdog62]

I am assuming that the eight individuals who gave the video a thumbs down all have better layouts and even better modelling skills. Dave, thanks for making the effort to share your outstanding layout with us, I always look forward to your updates and progress and appreciate your excellent craftsmanship. Cheers from Canada!

[@DeanPark]

Haha. They don’t matter. I look at the thumbs up and appreciate every one of them. They never comment or show themselves. Maybe their layouts are so good they want to stay anonymous?! :-) Cheers. Dave

[@evanswoodcentral315]

Brilliant video Dave with great tips and pointers on how to do the subject at hand. I like the LNER HST set you have, looks really awesome. Be well and keep safe, regards Gary.

An office and a loft, the production and projects are expanding!

[@johncarvil498]

Great how to Dave, very realistic finish. Cheers John.

[@DeanPark]

Hi, thanks. I do my best. There are more realistic ways of doing it I am sure, but I am happy with my effort. Cheers, Dave

[@greghale9972]

Hi Dave, Oh to young again with such a steady hand, you have done a super job of air-brushing the inspection pits. Congrats. Cheers Greg

[@DeanPark]

Thanks Greg, as always your kind words are greatly appreciated. Yes a steady hand helps. Or resting it along the top of the cork and sliding it! Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers. Dave

[@trainmanbob]

Excellent video Dave. I do like the new format. Just about to do a load of spraying so all videos in that area are of interest. Cheers, Bob

[@DeanPark]

trainmanbob hi bob, thanks for the feedback about the new format. :-) I’m always looking to keep things fresh and different from the rest. :-) Dave

[@modelrailwaynoob]

Impressive Dave. Good job.

[@paulhayward8372]

Hi Dave I relly do enjoy your films on what I think is one of the top Layouts on youtube

[@stmichaelshill7421]

Really nice weathering on the pits Dave, with the lighting too it looks top notch! I'll need to go back and watch the pit lighting video again!

[@galahadthreepwood9394]

The personal intro and outro are a welcome addition.

[@DeanPark]

Thanks. I did enjoy doing it in a different setting. Cheers. Dave

[@AndyHudson-ModelRailwayBuilds]

looks great David, cant wait to see them with the hard standing in place as well Andy

[@robmasterman]

Thanks for that Dave, as always you make it all look so easy....but to see the end results is very inspiring....Regards...Bob

[@TheDaf95xf]

Always great watching Dave on a how to do video 😄 Coming along nicely now 👍🏻 Well done for talking the time to share your hard work. Thanks Stevie.

[@SchuylkillRiverValley]

Very effective weathering on both the track & the inspection pits Dave! And a well-produced video, as always. I like the new format. Best, John

[@joshgambrell4095]

I enjoy seeing a layout that has had so much work put into it

[@DeanPark]

Josh Gambrell thanks. I certainly spend more time than I should lol I’ve a very understanding wife! :-)

[@graememorrison5456]

Great introduction Dave and excellent work your channel for me has went from one of the best to the very best , your modelling enthusiasm , and attitude are fantastic👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Keep up the great work my friend👍

[@DeanPark]

Graeme Morrison hi Graeme. You’ve been following Dean Park for a few years I know, so I really value your comment. I am always trying to improve my layout and my video content. :-) cheers. Dave

[@tsrail9244]

Damn your layout is looking so good

[@DeanPark]

Hi, thanks. I am very proud of what I have built so far. So glad you like it too. Dave

[@7APT7]

Great video as always, educational to, nice to see a bit of hands on Weathering. 👍Thumbs Up 👍

[@onnomulder9775]

Awesome video as always Dave!! Cheers Onno.

[@thegrowler-blackwoodngauge]

Hi Dave - excellent video as always - enjoyed the trains running interspersed with the tutorials. Euan

[@DeanPark]

The Growler - Blackwood N Gauge Layout The trains stop you from falling asleep! lol. Thanks Euan. :-) cheers. Dave

[@michaelwalker1119]

This and Everard junction are in my opinion two of the best home layouts on you tube. The way this layout has been built is a fantastic way of doing it. Concentrate on one section of senery, build to a very high standard then move on to the next. .

[@DeanPark]

Michael Walker hi. That’s very kind, thank you. Yeah I like to focus on one area at a time, go to town on planning it, build it in small tasks and then bring it all together. Also I add a lot of detail, where I can. Your comment is really appreciated Michael. Really makes all I do worthwhile when viewers notice the effort that’s gone into it, cheers. Dave

[@michaelwalker1119]

@@DeanPark your welcome Dave. I've seen exhibition layouts that don't come eny were near the standard and detail.

[@nicksmith4732]

Excellent yet again ! Such a high class work ...love seeing the channel progress

[@ModelTrainOutsider]

Exquisite work and outcome! 👍👍

[@alansmall9071]

Another great video Great to see more progress on your layout Keep up the great content

[@nigelcarter9503]

Nice one Dave.

[@davidstrains4910]

Great video Dave you have done some great work on the inspection pits and the depot

[@thestaffordshiretrainspott5799]

Very realistic appearance. Fantastic video Dave.

[@Iwan_89C]

Excellent video Dave!

[@JoeG-firehousewhiskey]

What great technique for using an airbrush to weather the rail heads

[@wwkdiecastmore5647]

Great video, thanks for sharing!...Bill

[@trainsontuesday]

Thank you Dave. Good "How to." ....David.

[@NewJunction]

Very nice update, the depo is flying along and it's good to see a proper Livery on your Layout! ;-) Regards Richard

[@DeanPark]

Yeah that BR blue 26 is good eh! lol.

[@NewJunction]

It sounds amazing I'll give you that!

[@simoncole9846]

Hi David, Been watching your videos for a while your layout is great. I'm building my own layout at present an combination of Hornby two rail and Hornby Dublo three rail . The question I have is if you paint the tracks would this effect the running of the train has the paint could act has a barrier between the rail and pick ups? Thanks

[@DeanPark]

Simon Cole hi. No it doesn’t as once the paint is dry you clean the Top of the rails using a track rubber. Cheers. Dave

[@leilacentral1883]

Inspection pits are looking good. It's annoying that we can't get rail match paints in Australia. The welding going on in the pit is a great touch. Enjoyable video to watch. Clint

[@alecralph6667]

Well worth waiting for!

[@redpopman]

great update - thanks

[@normanrowe2831]

Another great tutorial. Thanks.

[@maxvandenberg6905]

Finally some modern class 43 running on the layout 😀

[@alexhill9169]

Hi dave, Thank you for the great video. Good tips for airbrushing. I would like to know in the initial shot of your layout before you spoke, I was wondering what the backscene you have used are? They look good for what I am looking for on my layout.

[@DeanPark]

Alex Hill Hi, thanks. All my backscenes are ID Backscenes. Google art-printers. That’s the website where they are distributed. My backscenes are ‘into the town’ and the one at the TMD side is the industrial side, albeit it a slightly revised form, as requested for my layout. Hope that helps. Dave

[@alexhill9169]

Thank you, they look perfect for me, my layout is a low down area with retaining walls, within a busy town, so this would look great above the retaining walls. Thanks for the info.

[@kingorry7223]

Do you have to make sure that the locos can still run on the sprayed track. If so, how do you make sure?

[@DeanPark]

King Orry of the Peel Godred Branch when paint it dry the tops of the rails are cleaned with a track rubber. Just like on the rest of the weathered track on the layout. It wouldn’t allow trains to run otherwise. Cheers. Dave

[@StPetersLayout]

looks very good :)

[@mattmaz2]

Good stuff ! 😊👍

[@maxvandenberg6905]

Are you promoting everyard junction at the end their?

[@DeanPark]

Hi, I often get questions regarding modelling techniques, ie loco weathering that I cannot answer. I have known Everard for some years on youtube and so we decided to both refer our viewers to our respective channels. He does a similar end to his. We are both modelling the same era and while we both have similar techniques I do things he doesn't and visa versa. So it makes sense to link our channels so the viewers get a broad area of techniques and knowledge. It seems to work pretty well. Richard is a great guy and a keen modeller. Cheers. Dave

[@crsnvll]

Hi Dave. Excellent video as always, I always look forward to new videos you post. Apologies if it's already been asked and answered, but where do you get your wood laser cut from?

[@DeanPark]

Chris Neville Hi, Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. It’s a mate has a small laser cutter. :-)

[@doogs126]

Brilliant! How deep are the inspection pits?

[@kingorry7223]

What make are the inspection pits

[@DeanPark]

King Orry of the Peel Godred Branch peck. Good items. You can vary the length as well as they come in sections.

[@eckhenderson8036]

I watch your videos and iam going or trying to go dcc do you have to run too buss lines if you have too tracks your help would be helpful. Thanks eck

[@Iwan_89C]

You don't need a bus wire but your layout will be more reliable if you have one and it will be easier to add accessories.

[@trainsinpoland]

If you are running DCC, you only need one track bus pair (1 pos and 1 neg for want of a better explanation) no matter how many lines, sidings, etc. you have.

[@eckhenderson8036]

Thanks for your help guys

[@cedarcam]

The weathering is looking good. Maybe a bit of that Hattons oil can be applied as well where leaky locos have stood while under repair. Also I like your picture on the wall Is it a painting print or photo

[@DeanPark]

cedarcam hi thanks. Hattons oil spill kit will be applied when the hard standing and ballast is in place. The picture is a photo. I got it and then framed it. I came across it online and the guy who took it has a website. The frame cost more than the photo lol

[@cedarcam]

OK Thanks I will have a look for it. I have got a few framed prints of paintings. They can cost a bit but sure look better in a frame. Looking forward to seeing your next update on the MPD.

[@davidccostin]

Hi Dave makes me think I need an airbrush are they an arse to clean? Keep up the good work 😉

[@DeanPark]

Hi, the prep and cleaning up takes longer than hand brushing, but when you use it, it is so much easier and quicker than hand brushing, so I suppose it evens its self out. Yes cleaning it can take 10 mins at the end, but its worth doing it right to make sure it is in tip top condition time and time again. Have a go, the one I use is the Iwata Neo gravity feed. £70ish. Iwata are the best name in airbrushing and this is one of their cheaper ones. But it really is a fantastic performing double action (always use a double action!) airbrush. Cheers. Dave

[@davidccostin]

@@DeanPark thanks for all the top tips as always 😉
