New Layout Build - Town Scene Detail

[@hippyjason]

OK, I have to say, the police chase with the get away car crashing through that suddenly appearing, randomly placed stack of scale cardboard boxes was the most late 70's/early 80's tv thing _ever._ Well done.

[@scooby2142]

I can hear Jack Regan of The Sweeney right now ..... I was going to type his catchphrase but I didn't want to offend anyone.

[@brianartillery]

@@scooby2142 - what? "Get yer trousers on! You're nicked!", or "We're The Sweeney, son, and we haven't had any dinner. You kept us waiting. So unless you want a kicking, you'll tell us where those photographs are..."

[@genixia]

Needs the theme music from The Sweeney though. The Bill (early season) would work too.

[@ListerDavid]

It’s Bodie and Doyle from Mi5 with plod for backup.

[@Xantec]

the police chase reminded me of the professionals with Doyle in a silver capri heading to a crime scene with a marked met in follow behind. (The Professionals was a classic 80s show!)

[@ottovonbismarck2443]

That car chase was pure gold. Again you take the meaning of "detail" to another level. Us mortals are left stunned.

[@unclenolly3207]

Absolutely!! That bit of gold to show a padlock - something so tiny makes all the difference. (in my humble opinion)

[@Harry244ful]

This intro is absolutely class 😂😂

[@grahamsawyer831]

"you slag", "you're nicked" etc., etc.

[@bobkay9260]

As always, your attention to detail is jaw dropping. A pleasure to sit back and watch the evolution of your world. Seeing the skill level you exhibit is an inspiration. The police chase was a hoot. "For some mad reason" is exactly why your project is outstanding.

[@tombramald3130]

Great opening. Attention to detail throughout is excellent. Poll Tax graffiti fantastic!!

[@figrollin]

Some posters would look really good on those fences! Maybe advertising some local club nights.

[@acb2040]

Fantastic! I will quite happily watch an hour of this than crap on the telly. Loving the progress, thanks again for spending the time to make an enjoyable watch 👍

[@yorkshirelad5280]

I was expecting a milk float to crash into the boxes father ted style 😂😂 more of that gorgeous SD1😍

[@EverardJunction]

I should probably get a model of Pat Mustard and a milk float! Cheers

[@brianartillery]

I love the dairy manager's advice to Dougal about milk: "It needs to be kept cold - except UHT, but nobody has that, 'cos it's shite."

[@cuebj]

House prices tumbling - brilliant! Poll tax - genius touch! Love the 8*4 boards. Bend the bike wheels as if driven over or kicked. Need some broken paving slabs for people to trip over with some patches of tar filling in where broken slabs removed - especially where a heavy lorry or skip might have pressed down and broken the paving - this is so evocative! Of course, Thatcherite Britain included lots of old industrial units with the roofing removed so they didn't have to pay taxes on broken and bankrupt business buildings - some not renovated or redeveloped until the 2000s, before the 2008 crash. Fantastic opening.

[@Secretlyalittleworm]

These videos are always a highlight of my week, can’t wait to watch with me tea 😂

[@eugeniomarins2936]

These videos are always a highlight of my week, can’t wait to watch with me beer

[@ajk37416]

I hate it when my Mrs catches me watching one of your videos - I always get the “Is that what your layout is going to look like?” Not a chance I could manage anything as impressive! Excellent work as always, keep them coming!

[@salletosnscalerailroad2688]

I had to call my wife in to see the opening police chase, that was great. DETAIL Beautifully done as always. Great job and great video.

[@BobPhleming]

I did exactly the same!

[@BrickishRail]

Crickey, it's the Oxford Diecast rozzers! Superb modelling as always :)

[@Michelle-fy7vj]

Absolutely top drawer Richard, love how the street is coming together and this stage is where building a layout gets really fun because you can really go to town with the challenge of adding as many details as you can as it’s the things we all take for granted like the drain covers or lampposts, road signs etc that bring that urban feel to life. Fantastic modelling well done 👏

[@traintastictrains3632]

Absolutely spellbinding!! The amount of detail you put in astounds me every single time you upload a video! Sometimes I’m thinking “no, that scene looks finished, there’s nothing more you could possible add” but you add something more and it just tops it off even further!! A tip for the footpath leading to the canal: 2 bollards across the entrance of the path down to the canal might be a good idea, especially as it is a very car-sized footpath! Bachmann Scenecraft sell a selection of either metal or concrete-style ones available from Rails of Sheffield... just a suggestion because I know they’re definitely something you’d see in real life! Keep up the great work and stay safe!!

[@JamesSimpsonn]

Shame Dougal couldn't avoid them boxes, suppose his new wheels are a touch faster than his milk float 😉 fantastic as always

[@timsully8958]

Great to see a new video and what a lot to see! 😎 Those shutters really look superb and are so utterly typical of the arches businesses I see every day when I drive into Fenchurch Street and the grubbiness of the two areas is spot on, just like the scrap yard. I love the car chase at the beginning too. It was like watching The Professionals round my nan’s on a Saturday night! 😅 Just one little thing: I was thinking that rather than the arrow thing, wouldn’t there more likely just be a give way ‘V’ shaped thing in the road? 🤔 Those roller doors look excellent too by the way. Really good to show a variation as of course each different business or occupant installs a different thing 🤷🏻‍♂️ Cheers mate, always look forward to your videos 🍻👍🍀

[@jonharrisphotography]

You should charge us to have our names graffitied on your walls, nice little side earner!

[@llanburywellsmrc]

The lockups and industrial units look thoroughly depressing. Very authentic and terrific!

[@BearsTrains]

Brilliant as usual Richard. Don't forget the shopping trollies and old bikes for the bottom of the canal...

[@Mishn0]

There needs to be an extra place to put another thumbs up just for the intro!☺

[@djc8541]

I was a teenager growing up in South London in the 80’s. You have the details spot on, it takes me right back.

[@insanelewis21]

It's no different now. Just more grime. I'm a train driver and the amout of graffiti is awful.

[@dcasteaux9181]

'No Poll Tax' graffiti. Brilliant touch.

[@breintonjunction791]

Your eye for detail and patience is amazing, and the sweeny chase at the beginning,was the cherry on the top 👍

[@the_failed_states]

The GOTCHA headline in. one of the discarded papers gives away the date. You're modelling Thatcher's Britain with a very keen eye.

[@synickhillsmodelrailwayand3430]

The content of this video was by far 1000% better than the rubbish on tv. Look forward to the next one

[@johnhandley6406]

Magician! Now as I drive past the back streets of Dover I am seeing things with new eyes, the fly posters, spray shops and broken pavements...thank you for your craft.

[@Jamie096]

That graffiti was excellently done. Secret hobby?? 😂😂 brilliant as always.

[@SteveS3667]

How about some pigeons for the house rooves and fencing? Looking superb there Richard!!

[@frankhellman6879]

Loved that opening. I didn't know you had Miami Vice over there. 😆 Today's lesson was to reverse paint the underside of the pavement completely before laying it over the mechanism. Weathering, stripes, then pavement. I'll remember that. 👍

[@davidwelch6796]

Not only are your modelling skills of the highest order but so are your filming and editing skills. Your instalments are very entertaining and I enjoy them all as they come out. Apart from somebody else's chip shop suggestion I wonder if a curry house might fit in somewhere or a greasy spoon cafe.

[@MikeyJG]

Laughed loud at the car going through the boxes! Brilliant stuff Richard, very inspiring.

[@Panzermeister36]

Since I've moved to a new apartment two weeks ago, and now have space for a model railroad, I've been binge-watching your new layout updates :) and I've learned a lot of tips and tricks! Thank you and take care.

[@damianpoll9384]

Seriously brilliant effort. Love the car chase. No Parking needs to be made into ‘No Barking’ 😂😂

[@cattonparkjunction]

Absolutely stunning. A hearty congratulations to you. Loved the chase seen at the beginning. Reminded me of Life on Mars. Great stuff!

[@hellooohowareudoing]

What an intro! Better than anything on the TV these days lol

[@RicksPickin]

I thought I’d stumbled on an old “Sweeney” or “Professionals” for a second there - fantastic stuff!! Thanks for the videos, always enjoy the build work 👍

[@phila8013]

Just incredible detail level, absolutely brilliant Richard. It takes me straight back to my childhood growing up the 80s. The grittiness makes it. Great work!

[@Michaelbrown1995]

Putting out a 47 minute video is a big task - getting me on the edge of my seats at only 11 seconds in is an art. Great to be seeing more progress so soon!

[@jonharrisphotography]

A true craftsman at work, incredible to watch. Thank you

[@alanbarker0901]

Its looking fantastic Richard... as always. The brick wall with fence at the end of the video looks great too... I would have been tempted to spin the fence round so the supports were on the inside. That car chase at the start was AWESOMENESS!!!

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

Aaah we always do that dont we. Start something knowing it will take forever, then complain when it does! Looks great though, I love the paving. It really does look good and worth the effort

[@theogantenbein7870]

„I‘m starting to regret it“ 😄 We have all been there.

[@berlinmitte10117]

'You're nicked my son!' Nice opening! Great realism to your scenery too.

[@quarryfield]

Brilliant video. The lock up areas are so detailed and realistic, right down to the padlock. Amazing. Regards Paul.

[@chazzyb8660]

26 seconds of sheer - now to watch the rest of it! 0:50 "Somewhere nice for people to walk down to the canal", back in the day when you needed somewhere to leave your shopping trolley or old fridge - before canal-side loft-living became a thing? That paving is just uneven enough to be authentic, though many slabs would be broken in reality. And chewing gum stuck to it, fine spattering of black paint maybe? Great stuff Richard, just keeps getting better.

[@HG.APP78]

Looking great,love watching this grow! (I think that the new red shutter corner needs a chain between the fences with a 'private property,' sign hanging on it tho)😉 just my opinion 🙂

[@teawithq3351]

I have no wish to create or own a layout but I could watch you do yours all day! lol

[@marcusdoling7698]

Wonderful!! Some Pigeons could look good too

[@colinrimmer789]

How can people give a thumbs down? Looking great Richard

[@proudyorkshireman7708]

Have you looked at using green weathering powders for algae on the walls near the drainpipes and arches it’s usually a detail people forget but it adds a bit more colour variation into the scene. Fantastic video as always I’m forever getting ideas for my own project when watching your progress.

[@EverardJunction]

It's certainly lacking some green and salt damage in a few places. I'll be having a go in future I'm sure. I'd like to add some moss or grass between some of the paving slabs too. Cheers

[@Sonorg1]

Amazing!! Cheeky wee GTE hiding at the end :)

[@daveoliver7590]

Fantastic as always, the intro brilliantly funny, your modelling, Richard, has gone to another level since the old layout, with attention to detail, excellent..

[@mercedes_and_more]

Rover SD1 chasing a MK3 Capri - it doesn't get better 👍👍

[@leesonmorrison28]

Together with Central Los Andes, this is the best stuff on the subject I've seen on KZbin.

[@Bighell01]

Cheers mate for this epic update. I follow three pro’s on KZbin: 1 from the UK, 1 from Sweden and 1 from my home country The Netherlands.

[@MxWintersAFOL]

39:55 "Well that's looking lovely, you can hear the house prices just tumbling down all around this section." This is one reason why I love this channel (apart from the beautiful model railway and the craftmanship), Richard making subtle jokes like that, not to mension the funny intros. I was waiting for a no poll tax thing, it wouldn't be 1980's Britain without some referance to it somewhere .

[@EverardJunction]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, more silly intros to follow of course! Cheers

[@stanwhite5135]

Fantastic scenic detail and workmanship as usual. I truly enjoy your channel!

[@timmay444]

The attention to detail is second to none. Absolute top job.

[@leekerns5274]

Do you ever do things the ‘easy’ way? Great realism!

[@coldwarmotors]

Loved the car chase! Hooligan in a Capri, of course! Great editing and sound effects. Also, when you said "We'll put a few old tires over here" I said "yes, we definitely will" out loud... Cheers!

[@StyreneMikesModelShop]

As always, nicely done Richard! That's first class work my friend...

[@SirGeorgeButtox]

Just love watching the progress on this layout. The detail and the stories you create to justify what you do is fantastic. The most enjoyable watch on KZbin 👍

[@thescrapline4905]

That intro 😆 I did the same pavement style at my north end, that was using the sms paving and a total length of around 1m and that drove me mad lol. Nice tip for some great loose scatter for areas around the edges of the walling, pavements etc.. find a gravel drive or carpark and pull back the stones, the dirt underneath makes a great scatter once dried, sifted and blended with woodland scenics fine turf burnt grass.

[@duncanvincent9106]

Having lived in north Watford near Watford junction for years... this is so reminiscent and authentic! Excellent!!

[@nicolaiitchenko7610]

WHAT A truly TERRIFIC opening to your even more terrific viseo. Educational, inspirational and fun... As always... Still my favorite and most looked forward to, layout building channel. Especially scenery stuff.

[@cameronarcher1410]

I love this Channel I have been subscribed for 6 years

[@MrJeroenNieuwenhuize]

Love the way you create the organized chaos. Most difficult not to be symmetric in making a believable disused area. Keep m coming!

[@georgethomas7814]

Brilliant intro --- love the Police chase. Brilliant stuff.

[@AlanReynoldsBucklandJunction]

Thanks for showing how you do things. Your technique is fantastic. A Fellow rail modeller and youtuber too. Regards Alan in Dover :o)

[@EverardJunction]

Cheers Alan, glad you enjoyed it. More to follow as always.

[@benjaminryan1077]

Love every video in the series and look forward to the next. Seeing it grow each episode. Amazing so far. Really the best model train videos out there and learning lots of tips and build methods, ideas and inspiration along the way. 😃

[@marticon9286]

Brilliant opening! I was back in the 80’s watching a tv cop shop car chase. You can really get lost in your model world.

[@markonmotoring]

I always liked the town scene on the old layout and this one is going to be next level. Years ago I models a rolled up tarp with tissue paper but added PVA as I wanted it to set the shape. The tunnel and arches remind me if Leeds. Can remember the water running down the walls from the line above. The masking tape protecting the walls reminded me of buildings sheeted up when construction work was taking place. I busy, vibrant city in the late 80s/early 90s often showed evidence of regeneration and were constantly evolving.

[@grahamwillox]

I don’t know where to get enough complimentary adjectives for your talents.... the video presentation/editing, your descriptions and monologue, your imagination of your layout and attention to every last detail for realism is all A+. 48 minutes of honest, good hearted entertainment. Thanks for all your effort and for letting us see it.

[@kittonsmitton]

Hoping for Steed and Miss Peel in the next adventure, perhaps a police call box with a flashing light on top, WHO you say?. Fantastic attention to detail, really nice progression Richard! well done mate.

[@gregoryhale2202]

Richard, your approach to making your scenes have that realistic look is to be admired. Very little in the real world is pristine. Excellent work, Cheers Greg

[@stewartclark1847]

Like yourself I enjoy the building of scenery from scratch or kits and detailing them. I get great pleasure when I have a running session and seeing the layout come to life. Really get great inspiration from your videos. Rgds from Down Under

[@MattBFreq3]

Great video with some nice details added once again! Just thought with that wall and fence you added at the end, for an extra bit of detail you could take away some of the fence beams, or have some broken to show a bit of age. If possible also add some crumbling wall effects for age/weathering, although I'm guessing that could be a bit fiddly. The area is crying out for a fish and chip shop as well! :-D

[@yehoshuarail]

GREAT!!!! VERY NICE!!!!✌️✌️✌️

[@MaxxD86]

This looks amazing!! It really reminds me of Coldharbour Lane towards Loughborough Junction.

[@tomwebb3081]

Another cracking video - how you paint such small detail is beyond me. Is it worth 'cracking' a paving slab or two? I seem to remember constantly tripping over them when I was a kid (in the 80's)...

[@JRandallEllis]

Your skill in modelling graffiti leads me to think you may have participated in a bit of hooliganism in your youth.

[@EverardJunction]

Haha, perhaps I should have been a graffiti artist! Cheers

[@unclenolly3207]

I was thinking the same. Do you think his 'tag' is on there somewhere?

[@gs425]

I was going to write a similar comment but thought I'd add to to the many here. Got a tad too involved in that graffiti eh lol

[@marionk.4887]

I love the way you add rundown Parts as well, it gives it a soul and it looks more realistic

[@DadaPoopoo]

Graffiti artists rarely give the "NO PARKING" sign such respect. Fine work regardless.

[@skyfall2360]

brilliant!!! your attention to detail is epic...what about one of those red phone boxes all vandalised of course...an enthralling video with not one train running this is how good your videos are cheers!! so look forward to these!

[@tomconnor1710]

Love the intro! Inspiring stuff, as ever. Can’t wait to watch the scene ‘in your head’ gradually unfold on the layout.

[@vernongardner1958]

As always ... Brilliant Richard. I particularly liked the chase with the 'Jam Sandwich'. Perhaps you should put in a pub and a Jam Sandwich a hundred metres away waiting to catch a drink driver. I'm amazed at your grafitti - what a steady hand, good eyesight and fine brushwork.

[@Benjy5997]

That opening chase was pure 'The Bill' Vibes! Loving the content as ever

[@martinjones5353]

Loving the opening Scene, reminds me of the early days of “the bill”. Great work with the brilliant detailing. Can’t wait for the next update.

[@giulius7176]

Great intro!!.......and wow is the scene coming together!!! It really looks great... looking forward to the next update!!!!!!!

[@paulwalsh9680]

Fantastic detail as ever, though I wonder if the fence should have been the other way round? It's an unwritten convention that the "nice" looking side should face outwards, though there's nothing to stop it being as modelled. Perhaps the owner of the unit simply preferred to be able to see the nice side for himself! ;) Looking forward to when you get round to the station area!

[@robnyas]

absouletely brilliant mate - your eye for detail and the constant layering never ceases to amaze me ...... great job as always, pleasure to watch well done!

[@bigerch85]

Brilliant. The only thing missing from the unit areas is a 45 gallon burning drum with scorching on the wall behind it! Every estate has one.

[@simonkeyse8185]

I did very much enjoy this video. Mind, I have to say I enjoy all of your vids. Fantastic work!

[@spacebound1522]

Fantastic level of details, and the gritty scene is really starting to take shape! How about having one of the townhouses burned out / boarded up? Could lend itself to the gritty and run down scene nicely! Plus, I'd like to see how you'd tackle making that look real

[@andiscott8470]

Looking blooming marvellous! Excellent work...

[@edweatherup3887]

Any day there is a new Everard Junction video is a good day -- thanks very much.

[@royfearn4345]

Awwww... did the crims get away? Faded away before the rozzers could get the boot in! Lovely stuff, and you still seem to be organising stuff towards a stunning outcome. Brilliant.

[@daviemaclean61]

I was in a hobby shop which sells Crikcut machines the other day. I did think about your layout and the details cut on such a machine, but the madness of almost individual paving stones is the sort of thing I know I'd end up doing too. Walk away - don't turn back!

[@paultijink4235]

Richard, you are a true master of modelling. The level of realism is just amazing. What a great video, looking forward to the next one!

[@RB.1595]

Fantastic modelling. Really great stuff. I enjoy your videos a lot.

[@GoodfordModelRailway]

Love your comment regarding house prices plummeting in the area! Thanks for sharing the update, looking forward to the next instalment 👍
