Platforms, Tunnels, Bridges and Hills - New Layout - Part 2 - Yorkshire Dales Model Railway

[@lonelysignalbox]

Love how the platforms are long enough for a decent sized train. Looks even better as an “end of the line” station. Reminds me of Penzance.

[@speleokeir]

You know what they say about Penzance? - It's the last resort. Sorry, I'll get my coat!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you. I made sure they were long enough to get a seven coach train in this time. I see what you mean about Penzance actually!

[@martinross5521]

Dear Mouldy, there’s something special watching creative work like this. It’s going to be a super extension. I’m looking forward to more episodes

Good practical, get on with it video of your new layout! Love your modelling methods! An inspiration to us all! Thanks Lewis! 👏👏👏👏

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks matey 👍🏻

[@tonyslight826]

Hi Lewis. Its looking great I love the fact that you give depth above your tunnel mouths, the amount of lay outs you see that don't give enough depth ,In the real world it would collapse . carry on the good work mate looking forward to next week. Thank you Lewis

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Tony, I always notice that as well! I reckon those things make a big difference, especially when the scenery is on.

[@EITURKEY1]

looking very good, great way to build up the hillside....

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@Patrick76150]

Bravo ! J'aime admirer les modélistes qui nous font un travail soigné ! Et c'est tout un art ! Un truc à partager.... mettre au pinceau du brunisseur au niveau des rails, des "chandelles" plus précisément, ce qui, si la peinture s'écaille, évite d'avoir des parties brillantes sur le coté des rails. Ce n'est pas le cas ici, sur ce réseau, mais c'est un problème qui peut toujours nous arriver ! Félicitations et bonne continuations. De cordiales civilités Patrick

Merci beaucoup Patrick. Je vous en suis reconnaissant!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks matey, appreciate it.

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

I'm an American, and these videos are part of why I started becoming interested in British Railways. I was going to build one layout for HO and 00, but there is no part of Britain that is similar to the Central Valley of California where I live. I guess I'll be building two Switching/Shunting layouts now!

[@crystalzues4712]

Would be fun to see a American locomotive on these rails. And please keep the videos coming!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

As soon as someone produces an OO scale USATC S160 , I’ll get one - I don’t care what it costs!

Wow... So creative...I like the way the layout looks so natural as if it were cut into the shallow hills...

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Malcolm 👍🏻

[@ronb4113]

very inspirational to see how you create this scenery with the simplest of materials. It shows that you don't have to spent a fortune to build a very nice layout. Keep those video's coming. And for those who say it isn't going fast enough : perfection take's time !

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Absolutely Ron, thank you!

[@diedertspijkerboer]

I find it hard to believe that people callit not fast enough. Compared with my modelling pace, it's breakneck speed.

[@Pjs75]

Lewis, well done. Incremental, interesting and innovative. Already awaiting the next instalment. Peter

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you Peter.

[@garylewis3815]

Hi Lewis..Great start to the new layout...the terrain looks like the railway was built into it...😀👍...look forward to seeing the next installment in the build...😁

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Gary! 👍🏻

[@davidparry1982]

Reading ‘Miniature Landscape Modelling’ by John H Ahern - written @ 70 years ago. Though the materials have changed, many of the techniques remain similar, as does the blend of observation, art and craft. Very nicely done.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you David. I agree, the same tried and tested methods still work a treat!

[@wheezypalacemodels7726]

Looking great so far...👏🏼👏🏼, regards, Chris

[@speleokeir]

I love watching your new layout taking shape before out eyes. As ever you're modelling and skill are a great inspiration.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@frankfeely9235]

I was right, it is fun! Great to watch.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks 😀

[@atelierhcp]

I am seriously considering building a 00 gauge for myself. I love the English landscapes, the distinctive architecture of the cottages, the canals - and the more conservative designs of the railways and vehicles, especially in the 30s to 70s of the last century. Everything seems somehow softer and rounder, more natural and more harmonious than in my German homeland.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

That’s interesting, I get what you mean - I’d love to build a model of a German railway one day, I’ve already looked at getting a couple of German locomotives just to run on this layout!

[@medwaypeninsulaMR]

I great seeing the Master at work and a great method for platform making...............Cheers Kev

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you Kev 👍🏻

[@ericsainte290]

Really start to take shape. Love that small rural terminal station look, a bit like looe without the harbour... for me though it lacks a small engine shed that could go on the siding near the tunnel by just elongating the track a further 20 to 30 cm. It would equilibate the balance of buildings with the station, good shed and engine shed. Also adding a small inn near the station building (like the wills craftsman kit) would add to the feel of a station at the edge of the village. Those are just some ideas I got, as even as it is the layout looks great. Can't wait to see what will come out of the lower tunnel...

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Eric. I also had the idea of an Inn, but maybe at the bottom of the embankment where the road tunnel is. I thought about perhaps having a road leading up with hill with some other buildings. Not 100% sure yet though. Only problem with the engine shed there is that it would block the shot of the trains coming out the tunnel - id maybe have to have it the other side. Also as I’m filming/imagining this as a continuation of the other layout, I didn’t want a loco shed at every station - I’ve already got one at Buckdale.

[@ericsainte290]

Then the simplest way would be to add a coal and water stand there, and then have a loco track without hiding the tunnel exit... the idea of the road climbing from the road tunnel to the station area in excellent, and the Inn could then be located near the tunnel, which is close enough from the station yet also closer to the village...

[@Tharus12]

a great video, some good progress there. the music goes well with it to create a relaxing atmosphere.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@llanburywellsmrc]

As much as I like many of the other channels, this is so much more inspiring because you are making the modelling accessible without compromising the quality and finish of the end product, which already looks stunning. Thanks for doing this.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

You’re very welcome - thanks for watching and I’m glad you liked it.

Great to see you building again. I do enjoy the running videos but watching you create is the best.

If these first two episodes are anything to go by, this layout extension is going to be truly brilliant. I find it always very educational watching how other modelers do things as I strive to improve my own skills. Thanks so much for sharing your skills and techniques, Cheers, Jim

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Jim, glad you liked it.

[@chrisclark6192]

Hi Lewis. Another superb demonstration of your skills, this took me back to when you started building the main layout, and we can all see what a masterpiece that turned out to be. So I'm sure this will be a superb layout when it is complete. It's coming along nicely and I'm looking forward to the next video. Brilliant as usual. Cheers Chris

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Chris, appreciate it. I better start watching some scenery videos to refresh my memory! Nearly time to get the old static grass out!

[@SimonWitt]

Looking good Lewis. I was constructing some platforms for my layout in a coincidentally similar manner to yours but was mulling over several idea on what surface to put on them. You might have given me the answer!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Simon. Yep the plaster works quite well, and the imperfections make it look realistic as well I reckon. Glad you found it useful. 👍🏻

Now that is a master class, seeing how you create your scenery out of what could only be described as a pile of cardboard on packing inserts rather than carefully sculpted materials is great 👍🏻. I already know the quality that will be the final product from your main layout, I now have a bit more confidence in grabbing what I have at hand for my own efforts.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Rob. I had so much packaging to get rid of recently I thought I might as well recycle it! Glad you liked it 👍🏻
