Great modelling technique and brining the layout to life. Thanks for sharing.

[@sailingschooners8668]

Great to see the hands on step approach....looking superb modelling

[@MarchWestJunctionTMD]

They look really good Richard thanks for sharing the technique. Can see now how the Scenics are panning out and looking forward to seeing the next instalment.

[@NewJunction]

Thanks!

[@gazclass58]

I've been looking forward to seeing this next update. Brilliant video, Richard. Thanks for sharing 👍

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TilefordOO]

Things look like they’re really starting to come together mate. Enjoying the cheeky product placements too!

Excellent work. Look forward to your weekly video updates. Much fun!

[@NewJunction]

Thanks so much!

[@Simon-Davis]

Seems I'm a bit late to the bridging party! Really glad to see none of the dreaded 'floating girders' you so often see, which for me at least really spoil what is otherwise often a well built and painted structure. I find a bit of variation in the girders helps somewhat with something like this, as in reality the different span lengths will dictate different girder profiles. The Wills girders are a fantastic resource, but because of how readily available and versatile they are, you do kind of end up with the same thing as everyone else in much the same way as using the Peco girders. Nothing wrong with that at all by the way, but for those not too phased by some kit bashing and looking for something different, have a look at the N Gauge Kestrel/Gaugemaster water tower kit. Perfect for making lighter built girders in 00 gauge of the sort which carry branches over small roads.

Hi Richard, Great Video again like the brick colours, Cheers Steve

[@NewJunction]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ChobertonJunction]

Hey Richard, that was great to watch and notes taken for future use. Coming along nicely and going to look amazing I am sure.

[@NewJunction]

Thanks 👍

[@AndyCrawford_NorfolkWestern]

Thanks for sharing, as always I enjoyed it. It’s good to see you doing scenic work again. I have to admit, sometimes on your videos, halfway thru, I’m like, no that’s not gonna work… but you pull it off. I should have more faith, I’ve done this repeatedly. It’s a credit to your willingness to show the process, not pick and choose what makes the process look best, but how it actually goes. Anyway, just ribbing you a bit too, and the layout is really shaping up now!!! All the best from us Yank’s over the pond.

[@NewJunction]

😂 I'll admit I doubt these things will work half way though too.... all part of the fun

[@mels1811]

Brilliant train layout New Junction

[@NewJunction]

Many thanks!

[@johanswanepoelswanies7483]

Great to watch your methods. That hot wire cutter is the bomb.

[@NewJunction]

Thanks, it works very well!

[@trainmanbob]

Very interesting. A great watch. Thanks

[@RicktheRecorder]

Great, thanks. 'Coping stones', not capping.

[@NewJunction]

Exactly!

[@thomasspencer2649]

Loving the progress, given me motivation to continue with my modern image 6X4 layout

[@NewJunction]

Go for it! It's all great fun!

[@mathewdickenson4908]

Hi Richard, thank you for another great video. Every time I look at the car bridge going under the heritage line, i think there should be a brick wall up to the main line with a steal girder at main line height. I would think there would be reinforcements for the main lines. Anyway, I love your videos and thank you so much for making them. Can't wait for the next one. Mat from Oz

[@NewJunction]

Thanks Matt, food for thought there for sure 😊

[@kymvalleygardensdesign5350]

Very effective indeed, I use a cream of buff colour for the pointing of the brickwork which is a bit less harsh.

[@NewJunction]

Yup 😊

[@James-Akers]

Great video as always, its starting to take shape now. Once you've got all the greenery around the area to it'll give some nice scenic vistas along the line. Nice to see the 50 and 31 running also. Keep up the great work Cheers James

[@NewJunction]

Thanks James, should start coming together now 😊

[@davidstrains4910]

Some great work here Richard, keep up the great work.

[@NewJunction]

Many thanks!

[@welshrails]

Brilliant work. Hoping to create a Anglesey inspired model railway in the 90s so these videos will be great inspiration for that

[@NewJunction]

Great to hear!

[@cellarton]

Ahhh a New New New Junction Video; fantastic 👍😍

[@NewJunction]

You've not seen it yet aha

[@cellarton]

My comment was made as soon as I started watching 😊; really enjoy your content. I shall definitely have to try this technique with the brickwork. Kind regards Matt

[@kevinswift8533]

Hi Richard just watched your latest video it looks amazing the bridges really make it look like they have always been there and l know you’re going to cover the polystyrene foam but it just looks like a scene from NYMR in the snow I think you can’t beat scratch building something from the ground up as you know it’s a really good feeling when you see your items start to take shape once again Richard thank for the how too videos because we all can learn from each other to make our model railways look how we imagine them to be Best wishes Kev Beighton Parkway Sheffield

[@NewJunction]

Thanks Kev

[@Mapplewell_Park]

Looks really good. I’ve just done an over bridge on my layout using similar techniques. Have never mixed the paint on the actual parts though before good idea. Not as much mess this time either!! 😂

[@NewJunction]

Sounds great!

[@chrisnorman862]

Managed to sneak the 50 home then 🤫 the blue barrier coaches look good too.

[@NewJunction]

For testing of course... 😅

[@LetsMakeTracks2023]

Have you seen the 3d printed steam boiler? Would look great on a well wagon for your heritage line 👌 🚂

[@lapiswake6583]

Looks good. I usually use humbrol dust wash as the mortar when doing buildings, but I also don't tend to adjust the shade of the brickwork first... I'm in the process of cataloguing all my rolling stock, now 80% of my 4mm fleet is in the same room as my computer. And I'm also touching up bits, like I painted the gangways on some mk3s while watching this.

[@NewJunction]

That's a great idea!

[@georgethomas7814]

Liked it...... Good content. Thanks

[@NewJunction]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bionicgeekgrrl]

Not been keeping up with KZbin of late, so been catching up on your progress. It looks great so far, i think the changes you made following the first exhibition assembly look likely to be much better. I noticed your revell glue without a nozzle, i presume it clogged up? Apparently a lighter can resolve that issue. However i switched to using tamiya thin and tamiya plastic glue in the little pots with a brush. Much better, especially the thin with the very fine brush.

[@NewJunction]

Thanks, great top tip

[@PeckhamHall]

Most realistic modelling on your layout to date, this must feel good when you start to get to this stage of the build on your layout, sky's the limit. 🙄

[@NewJunction]

😂 it's the fun bit!

[@JamesPetts]

For washing-up free paint mixing I use milk bottle tops.

[@NewJunction]

Great tip!

[@jimmystransportmarvels8815]

Great work. Thanks for that. I have some good ideas about what to do now for my layout.!! When I actually start it. And those coaches never like to couple up together and stay coupled. That would be a nightmare if that was how it was in the real world.😅

[@NewJunction]

I'm sure it's happened haha

[@hoagy_ytfc]

Nice work. Needs a load of buddleia growing out of cracks in the brickwork though ;)

[@NewJunction]

Great point!

[@bensguitarcovers2849]

Love to see it 😍

[@NewJunction]

Thanks

[@adrianarnold8554]

Hi Richard. I do like the not so subtle promotion of Accurascale products, ie the Siphon Gs and the pre-production unpainted Class 50 parading around the layout. I wonder what's next in the pipeline??

[@NewJunction]

Well it is the day job, someone has to do it haha

[@HemelDownModelRailway]

Great update, I’m enjoying watching this progress, really like the brickwork technique and will refer back to this video when I give it a try , might be wrong but did I spot the Accurascale prototype class 50? I’m so looking forward to getting mine was good to see a running sample if it was 🙂 - Mark

[@NewJunction]

Glad you enjoyed it, you did indeed 😂

[@timsully8958]

Hi Richard! I have to say that wall effect is pretty decent mate! Looks awesome. Once it’s in situ and adorned with strategic streaks, damp patches and lumps-of-matter-beyond-the-scope-of-human-understanding that one typically finds in such places, that shot will look amazing. A sort of tunnel version of Three Bridges 😎 Like the look of what I assume is a pre-production 50 by the way. I was wondering what the two carriages behind it were though.🤔 Cheers mate, hope Lulu enjoyed her day off 😜🍀👍🍻

[@NewJunction]

Thanks, lots still to do as you say but progress non the less. The two coaches are barrier coaches that allow the real 50s to hook up to the Mk3s

[@timsully8958]

@@NewJunction: Ahhhh! Awesome 😎

[@briansewell7263]

That has made a massive change, really brining the area to life. Are you going to use same colours and techniques on the tunnel portals? And can you share a link of where you got your hot wire from please? Great update as always, keep them coming

[@NewJunction]

Yes I think so, although slightly more perfected on the main tunnel portals. Just search Hot wire cutter on amazon, there's loads. 😊

[@NicholassTrainChannel]

Awesome work Richard. The paint job on the brick work has come out great! will there be a video on painting the girder sections? Looking forward to seeing how you do the scenery. - Nicholas.

[@NewJunction]

Yes I will 😊

Hi 🎉❤

[@danielrobson728]

where did you get those blue barrier coaches behind that very nice 50 sample?

[@NewJunction]

They were a custom project by Darwinslanding

[@richardsweeney197]

I remember you doing a presentation on painting a stone bridge and a culvert, I think. I think it was on your Hornby Narrow gauge layout. The colors seemed really odd until I tried it, and it was great. But I haven't been able to find it again. I work in a hobby shop and would love to refer people there but can't find the link. Help!!

[@fatwalletboy2]

Seems to have gone from red brick to blue blue grey then tan beige then back to reddy brown. Seems overkill on the various stages plus matt varnish.

[@NewJunction]

Yeah each step adds in various tweeks of colour 😊

[@scottcoleman9570]

Brilliant work!. The layout is definitely looking great. The bridges and abutments looking good. I used to model English in N scale before i moved over to American N scale which I now have just started up my own KZbin channel about it. Makes me want to build another English layout. I just subscribed. Thank you.

[@NewJunction]

Many thanks, great to have you on board!

[@aed59blue]

Saw this by chance, while people take so much time and effort to make it look as real as possible, I notice that the gap between carriages on the trains is very unrealistic! i.e. big gaps ?

[@NewJunction]

For now, I'm sure West Hill Wagon Works has something I can use 😊

[@UnderdogOverlander]

I would have thought a "new" concrete bridge to hold up the mainline would be more realistic

[@NewJunction]

You've not seen the bridges near me 😅

[@UnderdogOverlander]

@@NewJunction 🤣

[@markburt1294]

What’s the Class 50 ?

[@NewJunction]

An Accurascale engineering prototype

[@nigelnewby5028]

A good transformation from new! Maybe a bit too much mortar for my preference (yes, that’s only my opinion!) If you look at brick walls in the real world the mortar is rarely glaringly obvious, especially on old brickwork. Layout and rolling stock are coming along brilliantly, I miss Lulu to be honest…

[@NewJunction]

You're right, it needs toning down 😊

[@StanoverModelRailway2020]

Hello Richard. I've been subscibed to you under my original KZbin handle for a while now. However, I thought that I would now subscribe to you under my own channel for my layout, in the hope that you may have a chance to look at it and maybe even subscribe to it. Anyway the bridge abutments and girders are looking good. I normally use enamel paints on any embossed plastic that I use, but I may have a go at using acrylic paint now that I have seen your video. Nice tip about using a matt varnish before doing the mortar lines. I'll have to try that one as well 🙂 Best wishes. Mark.

[@NewJunction]

Thanks Mark, I'll be sure to subscribe, looking forward to watching your layout.

[@StanoverModelRailway2020]

Thank you very much Richard for the sub, that's very much appreciated. Although my layout is very small compared to yours, due to lack of space. So I hope that it doesn't disappoint you.

[@NewJunction]

@@StanoverModelRailway2020 it's not about the size...

[@1701_FyldeFlyer]

Nice one Richard. Very interesting tutorial and even the carved polestyrene gives a different look to the layout. Hope the new job is going great, was that a sneek preview of the new Class 50 as well?
