New Layout Build - Starting the branch line bridge and surrounding scenery

[@grimbomaesai8311]

NEW TO YOUR CHANNEL AM VERY IMPRESSED NOW GOING BACK TO SEE AS MANY OF YOUR OLD VIDEOS AS I CAN FIND

[@AnUnearthlyGay]

"Newspaper is made of paper." Truly words of wisdom. I've been really enjoying your content. I found your channel a few days ago, and have been binge watching this series. It's basically nullified any worries I had about landscaping when I start my layout. Keep up the cracking work and stay safe!

[@spiralfirst6488]

Very reassuring to see that you wing it like the rest of us. Because of the high quality of your modelling I had assumed it was all carefully planned with no errors and all perfect first time. Very interesting and enjoyable.

[@terryrobinson7371]

Brilliant and so inspirational, the illusion created by the branchline disappearing under the mainline is a 100% success. Having a break from a project or hobby is important sometimes enforced is not a bad thing, remember it’s a hobby Look after yourself Eltel (Terry)

[@AVFCAM]

Absolutely love the idea of the fake tunnel mouth for the branch line illusion...that’ll look absolutely brilliant!

[@unclenolly3207]

Well worth the wait. Absolutely brilliant video 👍. 28:16. Don’t sell yourself short - I think you do an amazing job.

[@callumk5]

Superb work. The bridge and embankment cutting looks great and the optical illusion of the line disappearing is inspiring. Thanks for taking the time to put the video together to show how it’s all done.

[@roundel52]

That attention to detail that you have really makes the difference between a good model and a minature copy of the real thing. Well done. I know I'm going to follow some of your thoughts, even if my actual craftwork will never be as good as you.

[@Gus-jb8cm]

I just can't get enough of your videos. Very interesting to watch and give me ideas of what can be achieved in model railroading. Thanks 👍👍☺️

[@leilacentral1883]

That was most enjoyable to watch. The bridge looks great and looks most natural. Giving that illusion that the branch line continues straight is a stroke of genius. 43 minutes of pure Everard magic. Keep well, Clint

[@MikeB_UK]

Fantastic bit of work there. Your thought train (no pun intended) really ends up with a small bit of the scenery that looks just like real life - as does your whole layout. Thanks for the time taken to create these videos as they are so enjoyable to watch.

[@andrewharrison6475]

Please stop apologising for the time taken to produce the videos. You’re still much quicker than Amazon getting out the next Grand Tour episode. Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing the next scenery video.

[@alanmargalan5921]

All your vidio's are brilliant Richard well worth the wait, yours skills inspire us all Thank you Regards Alan Massie

[@petee19]

Great to see another video of your most realistic layout. The 117 unit looks good and it would be nice to see a review video on it.

[@hellooohowareudoing]

I completely understand what you mean regarding burnout, I paint pictures and you can always feel it coming. After it has passed though I seem to return more keen than ever! Love your videos and thank you for creating them.

[@EverardJunction]

I try to stop before it kicks in. Like you say you tend to come back more motivated than before. Works well, kept me in the hobby for 10 years.

[@grenfellroad8394]

Great video Richard, thanks for all the time and effort to create it. Great idea with the cutting, looks very effective. Cheers, Timmo

[@davekreidenweis3126]

Damn man your skills are fantastic as well as your eye for detail. I like the way you can redo landscaping and blend it all together. Can't wait to see what you do next.

[@jimross623]

Excellent Richard. Thanks very much for the tutorial. The entrance to the bridge does look a lot better now that it’s widened out. I’m sure there’s many people, like me, who watch your videos again just before attempting creating scenery. It’s a great help. Thanks. Jim

[@billybob8420]

I have no idea how I ended up here but this is so interesting and it's great to see people passionate about what they do. :)

[@roberttemple8462]

Nice one Richard, well worth waiting for. The scenic illusion on the branch works a treat. Love the way the branch snakes it's way down from the main line. Typical, waited ages for the 117 then it comes when we're dealing with furlough! Fab model but a bit out of reach at moment, maybe they'll do another run if this lot sells through. Looking forward to the next one, regards Bobby 'T'.

[@erroneousbatch]

Totally fascinating and engrossing, therapeutic even. Power to you, matey.

[@charlesemerson6763]

Congrats on surviving the Chinese Bug. And of course for surviving summer up there. Didn't realise it had gotten so hot, still on 20C down here but summer is just around the corner. Lovely bit of modelling too.

[@wolfpack4694]

I like the idea of the illusion that the branch line goes off straight to infinity and the terrain to draw the eye away from the turn into the yard. I always look forward to ur videos! Nicely done!

[@DavidStockford]

Wonderful attention to detail. Your videos are a masterclass in how to. Thank you. Looking forward to the next installment.

[@tim04]

One detail that would change it so much more is leaking water stains from the rails and the hillside above down the brick walls on enterance and inside the tunnel. And a few cheeky graffiti on the walls from yobbos but it’s stunning work edvard true inspiration

[@colinrimmer789]

Worth the wait Richard. I sometimes forget I’m looking at a model great realism, then your hand comes into shot. Love the layout, I’m now around 45 minutes late with my day, who cares 🤣😂🤣😂

[@michaelbentley4182]

The track camber on the branch as it comes out from under the bridge is absolutely brilliant!

[@MrRichietheC]

Brilliant work on the bridge, looks sensational. Everard Junction videos are always worth the wait!

[@LeeGreenwood1980]

Woohoo an Everard Junction video. Just made my Monday much better. Thanks Richard.

[@mattmarks9935]

I'm very happy to see your videos when they come out. You are very inspiring to watch. Thank you

[@gtown150]

Brilliant scene composition and well thought out addition to the layout. Been watching Everard since you tore out the old and began this one. Probably some of the best tutorials I’ve seen. I especially enjoyed watching your episode where by you introduced all of your rollingstock collection. Particularly fascinating to me.

[@MrTimTech2022]

Richard you're an inspiration and a credit to the model railway hobby, my definate favourite youtube channel. I always wait in anticipation for your next video upload. Keep up the excellent work and thank you so much for sharing your hobby with us fellow hobbiests. The branch line bridge/tunnel looks great!

[@davidscott6468]

Worth the wait. New home for my layout not arrived yet and a lot of restructuring to do.. Inspired by your efforts.

[@MaxxD86]

Such a fantastic looking layout, I’ll never have the time and space to build something this grand but always nice to see others

[@davidbell7760]

Well done Richard, great work with the sculpture mould, look forward to the finished Article.

[@emmazoesaunders6723]

So lovely to have you back ... love your channel .. x

[@bullettube9863]

Well worth the wait to see what you've done! I really like the effect of the branch line seeming to go somewhere rather then just disappearing.

[@johncourtneidge]

As always, Richard, superb, thank-you! I loved the scrap-yard. And all of it!

[@johncourtneidge]

Ps the banking of the curve, before, really leads the eye in.

[@paulaylesbury]

Missed these videos, my favourite model railway channel on KZbin. Please keep up the outstanding work and inspirational videos

[@randomvids7044]

I’m so glad your back, I was worried you had stopped, but like others said it was worth the wait! Billy

[@DeanPark]

I thought he'd retired! lol

[@tonylarkin7564]

Thanks Richard, Another Excellent Video .It's looking Great mate 👍Regards Tony🇦🇺

[@sparkshot]

Building in situe and making changes in situe is often a bit of a bugger but you've done brilliantly. Mightily convincing results. Enjoyed watching, many thanks. :)

[@blkstang83]

GREAT JOB!!! That was a lot of work and time, thanks for all the hard work that you put in to do this video!!

[@ModelTrainOutsider]

Welcome back. Love the "upgrade" on the bridge overpass. As someone utterly ignorant of UK trains, I always love stories and backgrounds of train models like a 117, and any vid you do is great, but only if it fits what you're doing. I myself have been off work since March 23, and finally get back this week. I hope you and yours have stayed safe. Cheers.

[@EverardJunction]

Thanks, I'll see if I can sort something regarding the 117. I was fortunate in being able to return to work in May. Hope getting back into it goes well for you. Strange having that much time off work!

[@ModelTrainOutsider]

​@@EverardJunction I hate to bother you, but I do hope you see this and can reply with a "yes.". I would like your "approval." We are doing a parody song, and we want to title it "Everard Junction." The song is to the tune of The Beatles "Paperback Writer," and it was just kismet that your channel/layout name fit the rhythm perfectly. It is not a parody of you, but a funny view of a KZbin model train fan wanting to emulate you. (Much like the song itself is about a guy wanting to be a paperback writer). We've done a lot of parody songs mixing comic lyrics with classic pop/rock songs online lately, but as you are the first actual KZbin channel we have named, we didn't want to do it without you either approving or at least having been warned. I realize you are a very busy and private person, but have also shown a great sense of humor and intuitive humor as well. We had no other way to get in contact, so I thought I would try here. We would never do anything derogatory about any channel or person. It's just that your name came up as soon as we started the lyrics and it fit to the song perfectly, and we courteously ask if you would mind us going forward with the video.

[@mylittletrainbc909]

Wow! thats amazing layout!..... looks real, very nice....thanks for sharing.

[@grogs55]

love the view of the bridge at 36:56... looks like a branch line in the country.

[@martinpattison4018]

Nice to see you back and that another nice little job done. I am working away from home again so "Yorkdale" has been all packed away again. Still making some models in my free time. I have too many already, but I can then pick and choose. Best wishes. Martin. (Thailand)

[@going2thedogs]

Hi Richard. I really enjoyed that. Thks for sharing.

[@klaus9909]

So cool Richard. Was worried for you regarding the long delay and general happenings. Really good to see all is fine. Great modelling, looks just awesome.

[@scottmcneil1150]

Great stuff, glad you're alive. The branch line development looks brilliant, well done for taking some time out. We were missing you.

[@davidedwards6811]

Welcome back Richard, thanks for sharing the latest update, scenery looks superb

[@wheezypalacemodels7726]

Awesome Richard, still have to be one of my favourite layouts with all the detail you include. Great tutorial for anyone both new and old hand at it, regards, Chris

[@1BCamden]

Hi Richard, glad to see and hear you, it’s been awhile but these are unusual times and we are willing to wait, even though some of us are a little pushy. Interesting the warehouse building in a couple of shots it looked very convincing, and appeared to have a roof line fitted. Also the branch tunnel turned out great, even a bit of perspective, planned of course. Regarding your reviews, yes a lot of channels are out there, but yours far surpass them in contain, and depth review detail. This update was definitely worth the wait, thanks for sharing.

[@ashernelson7138]

Glad you’re still employed during these weird times. Thanks for another great video!

[@carolbage8300]

One of the "go to" channels for the average modeller. In my humble opinion. Thanks. Bob

[@marquepadley2715]

Wow the new section looks amazing, looking forward to seeing rest of that area completed, keep up the great work. Big thumbs up!!!

[@StyreneMikesModelShop]

Hello Richard; I look forward to your videos with anticipation rather like that of a hungry man waiting for his dinner! :-) Your format is solid and the content informative There is no need for "unboxing / review" videos as there are many others with that type of channel out there. Keep doing what you do,,, we'll watch with interest. Great job on this one Richard. Thanks!

[@richieb6725]

Great job again Richard,like the way the branch flows on the layout. Like the idea of the concrete supports, however you could do a mini version of the bird cage at Road cutting on the WCML. Also the for ground area in the front of bridge might be a nice location for some kind of disused railway infrastructure. Something like an old signal box for example . Just a couple of ideas but great so far once again and looking forward to next video.

[@FirefighterMemeSupreme]

I was just thinking how you were getting on. Looking amazing! Thanks Richard.

[@sportscarddad-en6yt]

Very nice. I like the work you do. You put a lot of time and effort in to this layout.

[@LeeGreenwood1980]

Definitely do a video on the class 117. The vast majority of other you-tubers aren’t as concise or have the same presence as you do and it doesn’t really matter what others get up to, this is your story.

[@EverardJunction]

Cheers, will see what I can do

[@onnomulder9775]

Great update Richard! Thanks for sharing this video. Cheers Onno.

[@cranefly23]

A very cleverly worked out solution, brilliantly executed. Well worth waiting for. Thank you.

[@WhatALoadOfTosca]

Yay, another everard junction video. Really enjoy watching these and look forward to them. Thank you.

[@InterCity134]

Take your time. Your progress videos are always a treat , especially now in 2020. Didn’t much notice the long time since the last.

[@doogs126]

That was a joy to watch. Its given me inspiration to tackle some awkward areas on my layout that keep getting put off..

[@siraujus101]

Looks amazing. the blending is great and the look of it running out is a fantastic idea. Thank you for sharing and its always worth the wait to see each video.

[@richardleney9932]

Harder than seats on a Thameslink service ! Brilliant , bloody brilliant. Nice detailing . Nice video.

[@EddieG1888]

I thumbs up your videos before I've even watched them, for two reasons... 1. I know the videos are gonna be good before I even click play. 2. While never having had a train set in my life, and never aspired to own one, I'm insanely jealous of this set up, and all the work that's gone into it! :-D

[@nesr8786]

Great work Richard, nice illusion, works well, take care ,Mac

[@patrickstephenmelvin8721]

Well worth the wait, excellent video and great attention to detail. Always look forward to your videos.

[@Rule1ModelRailways]

Great to see this, I also have a branchline on my layout similar to this, lots to take in and take inspiration from. Thanks!

[@thescrapline4905]

That's lunch time sorted. Now where's the big screen lol.

[@stewartsamson835]

Really enjoyed this update Richard, your attention to detail is impressive and indeed very inspirational. Thank you 🙏

[@alansmall9071]

In Kent where I used to live we was close to the hs1 where it crossed the Medway the concrete bracing areas that you are modeling are in an abundance one near blue water too I’m now near market Drayton and there are quite a lot of new ideas to model with 4track main lines 2 track branch lines and single track lines too love the videos and content been watching from first videos of original layout keep up the great content 😊👍🏻

[@keyper555]

I grew up watching my Father build and design his layout, we had a 5k sq ft home, he used 3/4 of the basement for his layout, bout 1200 sq ft, monstrous layout, the control panel looked like a cockpit of a big airplane lol, he could run 4 engines with bout 10 -15 cars each at same time, two huge rail yards with 2 turntables, an island in the middle with a lake, and tons of bridges and tunnels, 4 underground tracks etc, it was huge. he was really good at doing scenery and after watching you I think he could have done some work like yours, wished I had pictures of his layout, it was considered the largest HO setup in the pacific northwest back in the 60's. Don't mean to go on bout his layout but thought I would tell you how he did his hillsides to make them look like rough terrain, maybe you might be interested in trying it. So after he laid the plywood, he would take newspaper sheets and crumple them up into various size balls, and staple them to plywood, then mix up some plaster in a bread pan, take individual sheets of paper towels and soak them in plaster then lay them over the balls of newspaper, let dry, really looks like a rough terrain, when dry he would mix up instant coffee in a bowl with some water, take a sponge and dab the mixture all over the dry terrain making it look like real ground, then add some sand or little pieces of shrubs or trees scraps he would find in the yard to make bushes and trees, and it looked very realistic, you can change the shade of coffee to make it light or darker. I enjoyed helping him do this and I hope you can use this idea if you dont already do it or know about it, looking forward to seeing more of your work.

[@paulsheppy4305]

It's really good to see how you've solved the perspective problem of the branch line. What a cunning wheeze! Paul

[@Gorbyrev]

Sir, you are the master of scenic spoodge!

[@KEVINUK1004]

Modelling masterclass! Thanks for the continued inspiration! 👍

[@IcenI_Koi]

YES PLEASE on the Bachman. Great video, thanks for sharing. A lot of work gone into that, looks great.

[@eddywitcomb2054]

Good to see you back and once again another fantastic video 👍

[@johnchesworth4371]

Brilliant, many thanks. Glad you're back, fit and well. Stay safe.

[@davidrauger]

That looks absolutely brilliant. How about a footbridge crossing the branch cutting just in front of the backscene to re-enforce the idea that the line is going that way.

[@paddycoleman1472]

Glad to see you are back Richard and keeping well. Thank you for the video.

[@447thbg]

Your videos are so inspiring, especially to a novice in this hobby like myself.

[@nealhove]

Looking great Richard. My memories of the 117 was as they burst through the road bridge at Hayes and Harlington station and then the noisy journey to PDN to see some Westerns. One of your videos on the 117/121 would be good.

[@WaffleDragon]

I love how complete you make everything look. Although the British trains have certainly grown on me, I am primarily interested in U.S. prototypes. So many layouts I see feel so thrown together.

[@justincase7937]

The scenery tutorials alone translate to any country's layout.

[@billkerr240]

Your videos have become addictive so I missed my fix the last three months. This one was well worth waiting for. And yes please to a 117 video.

[@LNERandBR]

Looks brilliant to me. Going for a straight on cutting rather than showing the branch curving away is certainly the better idea. My only worry is where the 'dummy' branch meets the backscene. That could be covered by the reinforcement that your planning to put in but if not I'd suggest a brick farm track overbridge. Spanning from the top of one 'hill' to the other in low relief.

[@moorlandmodelrailwayandy]

Brilliant job Richard you're one of my inspiration layouts that I try to emulate with the landscape build. I use sculptamould following watching a video of yours many months ago thanks again for sharing cheers Andy

[@aptechnicalservices]

Great video. I learn so much from your videos and explanations. Like the mix of projects you cover as well. Andrew

[@stmichaelshill7421]

Really good video Richard and very timely. I'm going to be using a similar technique to disguise a tight curve just off the scenic areas!

[@simplyinxs]

Been a while Richard but worth the wait. Looking dam good & right decision made with keeping branch line tunnel to a single entrance. I actually googled pics when you mentioned it on last video 😂

[@bigwezz]

I was struggling to get some Sculptamold the other day, now I know who bought all of the stock in the UK!! Excellent work tough, I love watching these videos and watching the layout come to life.

[@eastcoastdcc]

Hi Richard. Another excellent video. The new bridge and cutting look great. Think a review of the class 117 DMU would be good, although then I'll probably be tempted to buy one! Thanks again. Cheers, Ross.

[@IamRobotMonkey]

Good to see you back, sir. Look forward to watching this later. I'm sure it'll be fantastic, as usual. And uploaded just in time for my wife's birthday too. She says "Thanks, it's just what I've always wanted!" lol

[@EverardJunction]

Haha! Happy Birthday to your wife, cheers.

[@vodaploda]

great - happy that there's a new film from you!

[@heritagejunction2184]

Well done and welcome back great video. Regards David

[@bobwestwood7824]

Well worth the wait Richard thank you for a great video, look forward to the next one.

[@grahammummery5732]

Another top video of a first class layout! Thanks Richard..
