New Layout Build - Detailing and weathering the new sidings

Picking up from where we left off in the previous video I've make some good progress on the sidings. The main focus is on the weathering and scenery such as grass and bushes. I've also made a start on some of the details such as scrap rail, litter and various small 3d printed items. Still very much a work in progress but I'm happy with how it's looking. Enjoy

Listen, if you think I'm going to watch a 49 minute video of you painting some toy train tracks... you'd be absolutely right.

You could shoot movie scenes on Everard Junction and no one would know it's a model. I can't believe I've been watching your videos for over 10 years and you've never ceased to amaze me. Thank you for sharing 👌

@@gazzasal9724 I can tell you are an unhappy chappy posting derogatory remarks to other people!! What's the matter with you? Oh don't tell me, if you're a brit, you're probably fed up with all these immigrants crossing the channel, obtaining free housing and money while you slave away in your job, paying your taxes and getting bent over backwards and shafted by the rulers of this coiuntry eh? Or could it be you found out your wife's having an affair or your kids don't want to know you or maybe it's the fact you've recently realised that people in UK only care about themselves and money? Which is it or have I left anything out?

I found your channel back in 2020. I'm constantly impressed with the amount of detail you achieve. I particularly like when you go through the process you use when modifying the different rail cars. I'm into RC trucks (old military) but I've been able to make use of some of your techniques. Keep it up I enjoy every new episode!!!

[@EverardJunction]

Thanks, glad you enjoy the vids!

[@paulsngaugechannel]

Excellent video, the details are great and brings back memories of travel to London Bridge etc. great work. A little bit of nostalgia in a bleak timeline. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful modelling craft.

[@Castlebank_Sidings]

Certainly the top of the game in the British model railway scene.

[@ClydebridgeStation]

Great video Richard. I like how you say it's not finished, but to quote a good friend of ours, David Watson at Dean Park, "Model railways are never finished, they just evolve!" and I can agree with that!

[@johneaton25]

Looking great Richard and l see you had your little Scottish mate come down n stay for a few days 👍

[@cncpgreatlakesdiv4896]

WOW THE Layout is awesome new sub from across the pond in Canada. Thx for sharing.

[@PeterPete]

Yell from downstairs - "Richard! Your dinners ready! Can you come down before it gets cold!"

[@RicktheRecorder]

Fantastic, as always. I'll make just one observation. Buildings and other permanent structures live in the landscape and not upon it, and even when they are upon it, nature has a habit of climbing up and trying to absorb them. There is always, to some degree, a fillet of weeds, stones, soil, and/or junk that fairs and obscures the transition from horizontal to vertical.

[@kennethallen3843]

I do love an 80s style intro

I spend far too long editing those but its good fun! Plenty more to come, cheers.

[@roystudds1944]

Wonderful work on the sidings Richard. Truly inspirational watching you cover the area in static grass. I struggle with getting that right. Thanks for sharing. Roy.

[@defel1]

Looking really good. The time, effort, and skill you've invested pays off.

[@AJSAN1971]

I do love the fact you are going for that slightly "grotty" look which was very much how the 80s were. New shiny liveries on the trains but the infrastructure was still uncared for. Great series.

[@peterbroad1772]

It's actually worse today as they use far less weedkiller.

[@doogs126]

Incredible attention to detail, Richard. Looking forward to the next video.

[@onnomulder9775]

[@fredburley9512]

Interesting point in history to model: the late 80's with a very varied BR rolling stock. Great work. Fascinating to watch.

[@nazarail]

Looks amazing. I love your videos. Only suggestion I have is painting the check rails on the points.

[@stevedunningduckinggiraffe6296]

No, I just cant do it, my layout is the world i want it to be, not the way it really is, I couldn't bear to put litter in there , i'd always be wanting to pick it up! And put the lids on the trunking properly! As always a brilliant layout, learned so much, thanks for sharing.

[@dfishpool7052]

Hi Richard - that's a terrific transformation - the attention to detail is staggering - thanks for sharing.

[@locowerke]

Another excellent installment! Thanks for sharing all your hard work, your layout is superb and your video productions also first class!!

[@WHP1980s]

Great tip in the way of the airbrush filter. Get plenty of problems with blockages due to lumpy thickening paint. Will give these a go. Layout's looking great cheers Graham 👍

[@EverardJunction]

Make sure you thin your paint before pouring it in the filter. It's very fine so neat paint from the jar will just sit there. Handy tool, made my airbrushing much more enjoyable. Cheers

[@georgethomas7814]

Brilliant as ever...... time and detail makes this very impressive to show.

[@UndergroundEric]

Brilliant as always… if only you had an exhibition layout so your work could be appreciated in the flesh, maybe one day i hope!

[@WilliamHBaird-eq2hp]

[@MrAsBBB]

Had to write another comment whilst watching. I was amazed at how perfect the grass was once you had hoovered up the excess. Brilliant.!

[@thegrowler-blackwoodngauge]

Fantastic Richard - hope to use some of your grass techniques on my own N Gauge layout. 👍 cheers Euan

[@paulsngaugechannel]

I was enthralled by the grass and after watching other people with their techniques, this was the one that I found most intuitive. And I brought my first static grass applicator, been playing with all the different grasses and even 8mm in N scale can be awesome. Thanks to Everard Junction.

[@flybobbie1449]

To save grass. etc, put old sock over hoover nozzle. Saves it mixing with anything wiffy in the bag. First time i've seen static grass.

[@rickcasey4013]

Impeccable attention to detail. Absolutely the finest presentation of all the model railroading videos presented on KZbin. Congratulations on your amazing skill set !!!!

[@meruliouslacrimens5154]

Don't forget the rusty bits of rails left lying around on and besides tracks. We were always surprised when we travelled over newly laid ( after engineering works ) bits of track, that were rusty, but brand new, bright and clean ballast, as opposed to shiny, because practically no traffic had run over it to make it shiny again. Both i and my nephew would pay good money to visit your layout to really appreciate all those marvellous attention to details of items you put in. I was staggered by the amount of details you put into putting the litter and junk in the canal, none of which we would see in a passing glance, but now know you have put there. Don't forget the buddleia that sprang up in tracks and sidings all over the place. Far be it from me to tell you what to do, but a well placed tree or old disused telegraph pole or ancient sign post to cover up the sadly visible joins in your background scenery would help. Hope you are not offended at my observations, sorry i said this before seeing you do it after i said it. The more i see, the more it looks like walking around my old depot.

[@dekyras]

Only recently discovered this channel but I’m hooked. A combination of an excellent overall theme with great eye for detail make this quite inspirational. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to what’s to come.

[@thescrapline4905]

Liking that! Certainly love a bit of rundown sidings. Great scene and not over done or cluttered up with to much clobber. That rust wash is a nice touch on those rails, got a couple of salmon wagons to load up with dead rails.. one day lol. Top stuff as always.

[@EverardJunction]

Thanks! I picked up some Dapol Turbots the other day. Think they'll look good sitting in one of those sidings, just need adding to the weathering pile! Cheers

[@MrAsBBB]

I love the effects you produce. It’s fine art.It’s so well worth it. It’s what they used to call “Photo realistic”. I get goosebumps as it is so evocative. Well done!

[@SimonWitt]

I do lile the shots of the coal sector 58 pulling a decent rake. Hideous locos in real life, but in model form they seem to have so much charm going for them

[@ashernelson7138]

Thank you for another great video. That little bit about the points isn’t something I’ve thought about before, wonderful bit of information. It’s amazing what a little bit of detail can do for the overall scene! Thanks again for sharing your work with us.

[@davidjones7029]

Once again another superb video. I came across your channel when trying to find something to give me a respite from work in my little home office during lock-downs. I have followed the construction of your layout avidly since and look forward to each video coming out. Your standard of workmanship is remarkable and your production quality is superb. What makes it for me though is your narrative and explanation of processes. Your voice throughout the videos is sort of comforting and uncomplicated. I'm even tempted to spend £10k kitting out my own very large attic.

Ho-hum, just another Masters' Class in scenic detailing and great trains. 😁😁😁😁😁 Very cool to see the world of UK trains from the UK of the 80s (a time when I was at university, then married, starting my career and a family). Man, how time flies. Great stuff, Richard!

Glad you enjoyed it. An era I have a lot of nostalgia for despite not being around to experience it! Plenty more videos on the way, cheers.

I'm not into trains, never had a layout. I am interested in modelling, but mostly aircraft. I found your channel a few years ago and love how you explain what you're doing and the reasons why. The main reason I watch your videos is that I find them very therapeutic. Your voice, the music and video are all very relaxing. Do you think you'll ever reach a point when you finish Everhard Junction? Or will it always be evolving? Thank you for all your time and effort bringing these videos to us.
