New Layout Build - Farm Bridge Detail

[@petermarchbank7739]

I am 64 years old and have never built my own layout well Im going to keep watching you while i do mine

[@hellooohowareudoing]

Time to stop everything and watch Everard Junction ! :D

[@samuelhulme8347]

Definitely correct

[@mjsdecember1990]

Must watch...... What's that burning in the oven?

[@dstan128]

Hit the like button before even watching the video as i know its gonna be good

[@michaeltanner4404]

My wife happened to come up behind me as I had momentarily paused the video on a shot of the road that passes over the bridge, even before you had added the trees. She asked me why I was just staring at a road. She was amazed when I explained that it was actually part of a model railroad. "It looks so real!". I cannot think of a higher compliment. Well done, Sir!

[@EverardJunction]

Brilliant, mission accomplished! Cheers

[@kipsome45]

Richard your standard of modelling is absolutely top notch…but the relatable way in which you explain your techniques really is the icing on the cake. I used to visit and photograph from a bridge in Lower Basildon, in the Thames Valley in the early eighties. This scene is highly reminiscent of that location as I remember it.

[@GlasshouseandGarden]

To the point that, when he changed to 'real footage' at 12'39", for a few seconds I thought it was back to his model!

[@GlasshouseandGarden]

I have binge-watched a load of your videos over the last few weeks and loved them Richard. I am not a modeller and don't have the skill to start, but love looking at model railways and really admire your work. I have loved watching the 'new' layout grow over a few years (condensed into a few weeks for me). I think the terrace houses are Georgian (fan shaped fan-light, not the Victorian oblong style) which fits perfectly with the 'story' of the railway being built at some point after the houses, probably taking the land at the back that was their garden, and signalling the change in the houses from dwellings for families to flats. Really looking forward to further updates - thanks for your devotion to sharing the detail with the world.

[@miserablenortherngit6648]

A quick suggestion for a future project. Turn the area around the 6 uncompleted house into a new build construction site.

[@sridharkrishnan352]

Just the thing I need after a stressful day 😃

[@SteveS3667]

Same here especially as we had a Virgin TV outage ;)

[@AndrewJamesFilms]

This is absolutely our of the world. Just the sheer attention to detail is unreal

[@martinpook5707]

Absolutely amazing I look forward to your videos. And after that you know there's a 'but' coming... fence posts are never brown even when new. They are a pale greyish green new and become almost silver grey, and fade into the back ground. The footpath around the field goes into the corner, people never walk to a right angle, they cut the corner. I offer this to help, certainly not criticise, your work is truly excellent.

[@EverardJunction]

I'll add that to my list of small jobs left for the scene. Cheers for the advice. There's a few walks local to me were people have cut the corner. Also some where the corners are walked but that might be due to crops or grass length.

[@marktowers8569]

Them point motors are M63 type aka knuckle scrapers. I’m enjoying these videos Richard ,keep them coming

[@jlaws8740]

I love the fact that the fence isn't perfectly straight. There's bends, it's a bit twisted by the years it's been through, it's stained dirty from dust and dirt. Something like that can really set a scene to life.

[@rexremedy1733]

Your show is like watching paint dry. Except its awesome and tension filled!

[@Brian-1948]

Gee, the boy does good. I admire your patience at waiting for things to dry before proceeding.

[@johndunmow]

An absolute artist with incredible vision and practical skills to convert the vision into reality - amazing!

[@jamesmartin3431]

If ever I win the Euro Millions I will have to employ Richard for a few years!! Great work!!

[@wheezypalacemodels7726]

Another top job done Richard. The scene looks fantastic and is a great reference point for us all to follow…regards, Chris

[@ClydebridgeStation]

Looks really good Richard. One thing I would suggest, would be a worn path up from the relay cabinets to where the BR van is!

[@martf9875]

BRILLIANT ,, Richard you are a truly talented man, your layout is Absolutely amazing,, keep em coming ,,THANK YOU 👌

[@peteknight3687]

Once again a very informative and lovely video. Thank you.

[@gordonhanning476]

Absolutely fantastic details mate. If my layout turns out half as good I will be really pleased. Keep safe.

[@JP-ne4hx]

What a master piece!

[@kmurphy739]

The need to explain why you masked off certain areas was priceless.

[@EverardJunction]

You'd be surprised by some of the questions I get asked. Therefore I feel the need to explain everything.

[@thewantondogfish5088]

That field at the front is just where you'd expect a temporary grazing ground with some rundown troughs and the like. Awesome work as always!

[@johng9399]

It needs a cows or sheep. Just one or two.

[@Mishn0]

Or a piece of worn out farming equipment, like a hay trailer or some such.

[@NQY-flyer]

A run down caravan and some shabby looking horse stables and a couple of horses?

[@clivehall4728]

Always love to watch and admire how other people manage to get their model effects

[@cyberleaderandy1]

Great video and the trainspotter on the bridge is a great touch.

[@onnomulder9775]

Awesome job Richard!!! Well done! Cheers Onno.

[@mattkirk2482]

This was brilliant. You are clearly very talented with the scenery. Loved the running shots at the end. Truly excellent. Thank you for amazing video

[@SammoKarm]

Only thing I can say to all of this. Brilliant. Very well done.

[@GWRFan281]

Your attention to detail is fantastic.

[@davidsheriff8989]

Very well made and so realistic...this shows a lot of painstaking work and lots of patience....

[@gregoryhale2202]

Hello Richard, as you may recall I have said it before and I am happy to say it again, and that is your attention to detail is outstanding. What you achieve gives the scene a very natural look to a point one could be excused for thinking you are looking at a real life scene. Congrats. Cheers Greg

[@trickymc2299]

Well done again, as a railway S&T Tech for 30+ years now, as a youngster I remember digging in the orange pipes and then digging them back out lol, it’s lovely to see someone add just a nod to those little everyday details that were everywhere, think you got the right level of detail, as too much can over complicate the scene

[@ieuandarkes8491]

Was sat at the model railway club when the notification came through, i knew what i was doing as soon as i got home

[@dwright7587]

Fantastic work on the fields and foliage, I can image a few crows or a kestrel sitting on the fence posts.

[@Deebz270]

WHOA! Steady there Dick old chap... Ease back on the audio gain, if playing rock right from the start of the video... I jumped-out-of-my-skin and so did my hi-fi speakers! And I spilled my tea.... Not good to start a video with a CRASH, especially considering that someone like me, might have been watching another channel which had a lower audio gain level. Not eveyone watches KZbin on a mobile phone, I watch KZbin through a lounge entertainment system incorporated into my 37'' (TV) monitor and stereo hi-fi. Please bear that in mind, a little 'fade-in' at the start of audio would suffice. That said - music is good. . Now that my pulse has returned to normal... Excellent work on that scenic break, it was exactly how I envisaged it should look, especially the false embankment and all-important ballasting beyond the bridge. The foliage looks fantastic, as does that lovely muddy farm road. Track furniture looks very realistic, as per your research photos and that open field is very authentic. Superb work as always Richard.

[@neilwilliams3195]

Great work Richard. Might I suggest your meadow would be improved by the inclusion of wild flowers, ie buttercups, cow parsley and thistles etc. Would add a splash of colour.

[@EverardJunction]

Yes, that's one of the small jobs I have planned for this area in future. Would also look good around the fences. Cheers

[@speleokeir]

Great work. I'm both inspired and a little intimidated by your wonderful eye for detail.

[@spennykcn]

I don’t have the time, space or skill to do this, so thanks for continuing to post these so I can enjoy your layout.

[@francis1247]

Just superb, points motor and cables are just great, nice touch. I also appreciate the way you describe your how-to. Thanks and stay safe.

[@juliebell8072]

Absolutely stunning Richard! That has to be the most realistic scenic break ever modelled by anyone. By creating a bridge that you can see both sides of, rather than just the usual tunnel, it very convincingly gives the illusion there is no scenic break at all and trains out of view carry on for miles in a straight direction past the bridge. Fiddle yard, what fiddle yard?

[@JRandallEllis]

Fantastic music choice. Everything is looking amazing.

[@havo1977]

just bought my first train set thanks to you Flying Scotsman happy new year

[@Beatlefan67]

That's the best-modelled field I've ever seen! Well done that man. Time for some cows and cow pats now?!

[@marvwatkins7029]

It's so realistic, it's like you're there.

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

This is probably the best layout in the world!

[@ianjames1352]

Looks great. I see you are famous on the Hornby show over on the yesterday channel with other You Tubes. Thanks for sharing. 👍😀

[@michaeltrufitt5477]

The scene looks great and the detail as well great job worth all the effort 😀👍

[@bmansimracing7606]

Great job, the bridge looks very good, on timeline 41:25 can you add some muddy water puddles near the tire tracks, will enhance the off road look.

[@penningtoncolin]

Mate I've been interested in model trains since I was a kid I'm 52 now still got some of my hornby train sets from the late 70s just thought about getting into modelling but seeing your work mate your an artist it's brilliant I'd love to do something like your set up just don't think I'd have the skill or the patience thing is I used to be a farmer and now I'm a digger driver ,I've got a good eye for landscaping

[@grahamsawyer831]

this man is an absolute artist! always a pleasure to watch. the little field looks really true to life

[@colinrimmer789]

Richard I feel the biggest Donkey, I watched you fit the fence, laying it flat and drilling the post positions. Why have I always measured to drill holes. Hee haw hee haw 😂😂😂 never too old to learn.

[@davidcoleman6032]

Very cleverly done!Not many people take the detail into the fiddle yard,but really makes all the difference, love the fences and when you show what things are like in real life to reflect on the model. Really great!👍🙂

[@garethw8884]

Brilliant update fella and as always your work is amazing. Oh to have a gram of your skill. Be safe fella

[@Ozbert]

When we started using the orange pipe to put the cables through, I suspect that some tamper drivers deliberately aimed for them and must have found it funny to get a direct hit with their prongs. Great capture of the atmosphere of the time. I probably wore a black Pea-jacket or great-coat with just a hi-vis' vest over it and jeans or trousers. None of this hard hat and "orange everything" back then. The old boy I worked with always wore a flat cap.

[@EverardJunction]

Thanks for the info. Certainly a lot of the the pictures and footage I've found shows Jeans with the small hi-vis jacket

[@radders261]

Every video just gets better and better. And the commentary and soundtrack is bloody awesome too. Well played mate, well played!

[@techauthor324]

Back in the 1990's i worked for British Rail, during the time of its break up and privatisation. I was privileged during that time to walk the Channel Tunnel Route from Tonbridge to Ashford. Watching the detailing here looks exactly like my experience trackside. Thanks for sharing.

[@captainjackkay3132]

Your attention to detail is fantastic. Farm land maybe some sheep ? Again love the layout workable and detailed. Really great .

[@daveh7945]

a decrepit gypsy wagon would be perfect in the corner of the field. maybe a couple hare hanging out calling it home. everything is looking amazing keep the videos coming, please

[@zzmike]

Kudos on your layout. One of the most realistic and convincing I have seen. Great work!!! ----Mike

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Amazing detail work.

[@standclear502]

realistic railway modeling, with great depth & perspective! To the high standard we have all come to know & love, From my all time favourite railway modeling channel Everard Junction ❤️

[@awgroom]

Fantastic channel and content, never really been into trains and not done model making but this vlogs are so relaxing and interesting.

[@EverardJunction]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

[@tomcatable6330]

Excellent work Richard

[@broadgategnomefilms]

Modelling is excellent as others have said . But presentation and filming also top notch...shots long enough to study , fully informed dialogue and no "talking heads" anywhere,

[@adriankelly483]

Amazing layout can't wait for the next video. Great to see you on yesterday Hornby. Realy inspiring.

[@greig8376]

As usual great work, I am a driver for LNER at Edinburgh and it was nice to be reminded of a class 91 rolling into the Sub! always a pleasure to watch your uploads!

[@marcdempsey5850]

Mind blowing. The section of railway is so realistic, your attention to the little details make all the difference. So inspirational. So looking forward to the next update but know the time will be a while. So patient with all this work but the result is fantastic. Thankyou for the videos and the tutorials. Marc

[@joenowetner3841]

WOW, outstanding work. ....Add a few cows or sheep to the field in the farm bridge build

[@jeffreydavies9036]

I did something similar to my layout. To hide the curve at the board end I built a tall retaining wall on both sides of the track to bridge support level. Like you I saw the unfinished entrance to the fiddle yard. So I carried on with the high wall. And it worked just gave an illusion of everything carrying on . Some great track level running shots looks very realistic. Thanks for sharing Regards Jeff

[@slwilliams75]

Great progress 👌🏻👏🏻

[@TheSynthnut]

Absolutely exemplary modelling! It's really coming together and looking stunning. Really well thought out and love the backstory you have for each element.

[@philsrailway5910]

Brilliant Richard, so realistic, if I was there as a youngster with my mates I'd be on the bridge or standing on the fence . Keep it up mate .

[@ronduz1281]

Hello Richard saying hello from Canada As usual great work👍 really enjoy watching your work

[@Bruno.Trains]

Very accurate and unique you did a fantastic job making the layout

[@OstranderD1986]

I really appreciate the attention to detail. This is coming along nicely. Great job 👍

[@jonelson1983]

That's sensational.....looks superb.

[@davidwelch6796]

Seeing the excellence of your work I had assumed that you were of a certain age with many years of experience, then I saw you on TV on the Hornby series and realised that you are quite young. If you improve with age, like a fine wine or a good cheese, your future work will be even more wonderful. Difficult to imagine how you could improve on your current skills though.

[@EverardJunction]

Cheers, I'm often mistaken for an older chap! Hope to continue improving my skills, always something to learn.

[@valentinsn-ostalgiemodellbahn]

Amazing details and creativity. Perfect steps to get on with your layout. Kind regards, Valentin.

[@coldwarmotors]

Always a treat to watch the vision come together a bit at a time! Great way to relax with a big cup of coffee and snacks before heading out to keep at my own projects... All the very best from Canada...

[@MrBoatbuoy]

One of the best executed non-tunnel scenic breaks I’ve ever seen. Properly thought out, and brilliantly implemented. Well done (as always) Richard.

[@EverardJunction]

Thanks, I found it quite tough to achieve. On reflection a tunnel would have been far easier haha. Cheers

[@silletrebor]

excellent as ever Richard..that area would make a great horse riding school with well trodden areas of ground..keep the videos coming,you have a natural eye for detail,very skilled.

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Add a touch of realism by adding a party of doggers at the far side of the bridge.

[@kevinheard8364]

Just really great!!! Also, a compliment on your musical queues as well... particularly (in order of my preference): 6:44-7:08; 33:22-33:38; 37:10-37:48 . great job!

[@JamesPetts]

Worth the wait! Cunning plan with the scenic break and fiddle yard embankment; and the rear embankment and road looks good, too. The field looks splendid. It would definitely suite some horses, I think - there were (and I think possibly still are) some fields with horses alongside the London Paddington to Slough section of the GWML.

[@NOMADCREATIVESOLUTIONS]

Looking good, congrats on your approach to the model scene and on your KZbin following

[@ModelTrainOutsider]

Another gobsmacking masterclass, Richard. I admire your attention to detail and the way you think about how you will see it when finished. When to add, when not to add. We always change our views at times, but you have a vision and follow it and add to it as the layers demand it. Well done, as always!

[@cogidubnus1953]

I still marvel at the level of detail achieved here and wonder what's coming next...and it never fails to amaze me...

[@andrewshaw4052]

Really nice scene looking across the field watching the trains run by. Fantastic layout

[@frankhellman6879]

Some of the most realistic vegetation on KZbin. The typical green dye look of most layouts makes me wonder why they super-detailed all the mechanical infrastructure only to ruin the effect with vegetation only a leprechaun could love. 👍

[@dylansheppardmymodelrailway]

Fantastic as always 👍👍👍👍💯

[@Vanas19twink]

Love your videos! I have a suggestion to give the layout a little more 'life'. Maybe add some birds or wildlife in the trees and bushes. A rookery in a couple of trees would be cool! If it's even possible.. Keep up the good work!

[@ollieahokas9179]

One thing among others that makes this layout stunning is that the track and trains look like it belongs in the scenery, by that I mean the sence of realism is spot on, the landsacåe dominates the trains, not the other way around. We have to compress the scenes but having enough and right details it comes alive as we tend to try to have too much going on the layouts making city scens way too compressed to the point that the city is shorter than a loco with four coaches.... Job well done! Cheers!

[@33Duce]

Nice job! Love the detail.

[@dfishpool7052]

Many thanks Richard for an entertaining and instructive presentation. The scene that you have created is truly realistic - lookiing forward to the next episode.

[@gbmpoetry]

Loving all the footage from Edinburgh Waverley!

[@alexs5700]

Richard brilliant standard of work if i can do half as good i will be happy. but fair shout superb work

[@ghBGDC]

Just been watching Hornby a model world and saw little snip it's from your layout being shown then low and behold episode 6 there you are. Love the layout keep up the good work

[@TowelsKingdom]

I love the era you picked

[@lindaoffenbach]

Fantastic how your new layout is coming together. Your YT channel and level of detailing is such an inspiration, specially also how to conceal certain bits. But your overall intricate engaging does result in such quintessential modelling of the railways.
