Scenery Re-Build

[@bhigdaddymark]

YOUR eye for detail is flawless Garry, I wish that I was in the same financial footing as another terrific railway modeller, rock star Rod Stewart so that I could fly you and some of my other favourite British modellers to Florida to build the proposed 'British' half of my layout so that I could legitimately run the British OO-gauge sets that I have. Beautiful inspiring work you and your colleagues engage in Garry, BRAVO!

[@cheekytek]

Many thanks Mark very appreciated comment 😌 Its all about giving it a go - this is how I started 👍 Keeps safe buddy Garry

[@coalbridgejunction7674]

Hi Garry, what you have done in this video deserves a huge congratulations. The scenery re-build looks fantastic. As they say work on a layout is never really finished. Cheers Greg

Many thanks Greg...

[@torridonroadbypeterdixon4162]

Well Gary as someone who had to travel by motorbike from SE London to Harlesden for work each week I can tell you your new corner is spot on. It reminds me of my route of coming of the West Way past the Scrubs short cut through an estate at Fitzneal St that bought me up to what looks exactly like your corner at Old Oak Common Lane. So very well done all the best Peter

[@cheekytek]

Mnay Thanks Peter 👍 WOW really appreciate that memory - I may have to add a motor bike rider to that part now.. what color was your bike ? Take care buddy and stay safe.. Garry

Great👍🇬🇧 Your knowledge on how to get the desired effects is very good & looking at the materials you used not too expensive I think? Well done.🏆

[@cheekytek]

Many thanks I do try to use materials i have to hand as its just wastage buying new - think it also pushes me to do more than just buying an off the shelf items. Really appreciate your support Big thanks 👍 All the best Garry

Nice one Garry, you’ve done a fantastic job of that scratch built bridge and the corner scene just fits in so well with the surrounding, thanks for sharing, cheers Darrell

Many thanks buddy...

[@peterwrigglesworth7302]

Hi Garry Great to see you back enjoying your hobby again buddy love what youve done in the revamp the new bridge really adds to that corner and to the illusion of a road carring on in the background the bridge itself looks fantastic and even more you made it with just the bits you already had and really pushing you skill levels with what you have achied again fantastic work. All the best Pete

Hi Peter - Many Thanks 👍 Great hearing from and I hope all is well and good buddy.. Really happy with this part of the layout and its all come together finally, just have to finish the underground part - it's never ending lol.. keep safe - Garry

[@skel3110]

What a cracking job Garry, well done mate! I had always thought that corner missed a through route on the road and that looks so much better and a superb job of the bridge as well. I shall also be pinching your neat little idea of the safety shelter! Cheers Steve

[@cheekytek]

Thanks Steve very appreciated reply... great to hear that the shelter will keep more plastic figures safe on our layouts lol 👍

Always pleasing to view your layout, you have some great detail work all down the line and the bridge is a great feature!

[@cheekytek]

Thank you very much! Very appreciated.

[@garydoc]

¡Hola buenas tardes Garry! Loving your thought processing and, seeing the work develop. Is a great inspiration for me as I am about to construct an incline quite close to the edge of the baseboard, near the garage wall. Some sensible ideas are now forming. Thanks again for sharing your hard work. As ever, stay and well. Un saludo. Gary

[@cheekytek]

Your project sounds great! Glad to share.. all the best..

[@impy1980]

Hi Garry, just wanted to drop a quick message to say I love your content. I'm not sure how it's taken this long for me to come across your channel, I follow the likes of Everard, both the Daves, and the other Richard, as well as Chadwick, I guess KZbin's algorithms are still as lop sided as ever. I was ill for a few days last week, and since finding you I decided to play all your videos whilst I laid in bed. What I really enjoy is how easy to watch you are, you seem very approachable, very grounded, and a natural at passing on both your knowledge and passion for your hobby (and yes I'm a big believer in the railway should be a hobby first, then content, I've said it to Everard Richard, and Scot Dave, ignore those demanding or complaining, I don't care about the gaps between videos when the content is usually so good, the main thing is to enjoy first, then worry about those watching). I don't have a layout, yet, I mostly setup a bit of track on the floor every now and then, but I am hoping to sort out a 6'4" x 2-3 ft shutting yard in my home office soon, there's just enough room behind my chair, I'm thinking, to put in 2 mainline tracks with a curve at one end, to kinda of future proof it, so if I do ever have more space, I can extend what I already have. Anyway, I've gonna a little off track, I think it's great how you focus on budget and the new younger hobbyists, some of your tips, tricks and techniques were great to see and learn of, some of which are very ingenues. Finally, massive respect to your back scenes, never mind those "photo realistic" back scenes, I think yours are way better, especially the newer or refined parts you've done. I love them. Like you said, the back scene is meant to be suggestive and unobtrusive, and in real life when you're looking out into the distance, particularly on a typical British day, it is often a bit hazy, and you can't always clearly make out what's out in the distance. One of my top 5 of your videos I think has to be the painting tutorial/time lapse video you did, it was perfectly explained how you built up the scene, and you showed how easy it can be done with a few shapes, a few layers and a bit of time invested. Even the most novice artist/painter could follow your principles and create something that would look decent. You can definitely tell you've improved your artistry skill set, in the early attempts the "hills" and foreground were definitely the weakest part, I think coz you were over doing them in a uniformed fashion, but I think you can be very proud of you back scenes today, no word of a lie, they are my favourite back scene I've seen. Take care and I look forward to seeing future videos, whenever or however infrequent that may be.

[@cheekytek]

Hello Mark Not sure anyone has ever made such a message to me with so many compliments - this was very appreciated - so thanks buddy This is an amazing hobby and i do feel passionate to promote it to be enjoyable without all the cost which can be very over looked due the vast items now available to us modellers. I do get many comments where people share their memories from something i make or do which is very magical but yet very precious as the layout is based all around my memories from family and friends now watching over me. My inspiration comes from those memories shared and great people. And to mention an amazing man that has inspired the world is a man called Bob Ross - he painted landscapes in seconds with the inclination that if he showed one person to paint - that person will teach 10 more and so on. Which as i believe is a great analogy to life. Your future layout sounds great 👍 So follow your dreams and relive the passion. Take care & keep safe Garry

[@Pixie586]

Hi Garry, I really enjoyed the process of how you achieved what you did. It looks fab, Susannah

[@cheekytek]

Many thanks Susannah...

[@WarwickRoadAndy]

Another great update. To help with the illusion with the hidden road you might want to add posts to show it has lighting as all roads around the area would have them. Rather than having the light with a bracket coming out the back of the lantern put the light on top of the post as it’ll reduce space needed to get it in. Lighting in your era were using ‘post mounted’ systems so won’t look out of place. Or paint the columns on the backboards.

[@cheekytek]

Many thanks- I still have a few lights to add here, Think I know what you mean with the lamps.. Cheers buddy

Hi Garry, I think updating and improving your layout is what keeps our interest in modelling. Great looking bridge it appears to fit right at home and in keeping with the atmosphere of your layout. It is true what they say a layout is never finished I am the same I keep going back to my layout and changing and improving (hopefully) which helps with building up our techniques and skills in railway modelling.

Go to say Garry, that was wonderful to watch, you have made a terrific job of that corner and also the whole length of that one side, absolutely brilliant mate, you should be really proud of what you have achieved there, I know I would be!

I’m so pleased for you mate, all that hard work you have put in has really paid off - well done sir! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Cheers for now mate. ............Graham
