Tyne Dock Part 13, The Main Building Continues. No 437

[@eddyweller4503]

Good morning Tony, nice to see you back in the train room. I know you and Laura have been out and about this summer, hope you've enjoyed your travels. I'm sure Sid is happy seeing his office and ticket office coming along. I do like the way you've constructed the drawer units, and they look very effective. Also the ladies cubicles when the decorations are complete its going to be a very smart station. The electrics should be fine, you've worked out your needs ,and that 12 terminal block should be just fine. Looking forward to following the nexr stage. As for Anne and myself, we've had a busy start to the summer holidays, as you know i took the boys to Torquay United the weekend you were in Devon, followed be the Surrey lot, down with us for the week, we had the kids for a few days thereafter then took them home, we've settled into a routine of looking after the kids a couple of times when mum and dad are in work. I really don't know how i had time for a full-time job. Looking after the family takes so much time. Anyway I've pratteled on long enough. Take care both an exhausted Eddy and Anne. Xxx

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Good morning Eddy & Anne. we had a great weekend in Buckfasliegh its such a lovely area Devon. we had a day out to Brixham Harbour. and found a vinyl store which is very rare these days. so yes things have quieted down at the moment and i am managing to spend the odd hour and there back in the railway room, still its not as much as i would like. but we are getting there. now and again we do just need to put our feet up. and take some well earned time out. stay safe my friends. cheer's for now Tony. & Laura.

[@NicholassTrainChannel]

Nice video Tony. The two decorated rooms have come up very nice. I like how you made your own furniture for the rooms saves a bit of money and they came up great.

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Hello Nicholas my friend. thank you for commenting. all these little things do help to enhance what you can see in the rooms once they are finished. take care buddy. Tony.

[@martinpattison1567]

"The construction of your main building is progressing well. The Station Master will be very happy in his new office. However, I'm facing issues with trains derailing, particularly with the front bogie veering onto the adjacent track when using Hornby crossovers. This problem has occurred with three locomotives. To resolve this, I have added three thin copper washers to lower the front bogies. While this solution has worked for two locomotives, one of them still experiences sporadic stopping and starting. These challenges are to be expected when owning a model railway. Keep up the good work on the construction of the main building. Martin (Thailand)"

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Hello Martin. i am pleased you have sorted out the issue of your derailments, my P2 cock of the North had a similar issue. i have done the same added a couple washers to front bogies. and there has been no issues since. touch wood. thank you for commenting stay safe my friend. Tony.

[@ModelRailwayShed]

Hello Tony I hope you're well So great to see you back on KZbin. Incredible build especially your own scratch built furniture amazing detail. All the best to you and your family.

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Good morning my Friend, i have only just touched on the furniture builds. as all the rooms will require furniture at some point. see you again next Friday all the best Tony.

[@martynbuzzing3327]

It's all in the detail, Tony, and what detail it is. Excellent skills are shown again. 😊

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Thank you Martyn. your too kind sir. until next time my friend. stay safe Tony.

[@RicksPickin]

Great to have you back Tony - been missing the regular North Eastern timetable. Main station building is coming on great, despite Sid’s impatience. Very much looking foreword to the next ‘instalment’

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Good morning Rick i hope to get the videos out more regularly once things have settled down. its what i call the funny season. as we are wanting to get out and about more. so yes hopefully there should be another one this Friday. until then my friend stay safe Tony.

[@roystudds1944]

Fascinating video Tony. You have the mind of a genius. The way you created the ticketing office drawers was incredible. The interior decorations look great. Catching up with your videos. Thanks for sharing. Roy.

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Thank you very much! Roy. I do try to keep these builds simple so people can build similar items. cheer's for now Tony.

[@vincenthuying98]

Dear Tony, hope you and Mrs. T. had a great time on your outdoor adventures. To be very honest, I did check every week if there was a post from the North Eastern. To make up for it, I just watched some reruns of some of your builds, always am amazed to discover some new stuff. In the meantime I’ve kept myself plenty busy. Now, for the marvelous interior decorating of the Tyne Dock Station! Think the superlative ‘beautiful’ is very appropriate. Love the simplicity of the ticket office desk design. Master carpentry in cardboard in 1:76 scale. Love the wallpaper in Sid’s office. Yes, maybe it would have been smart to do it before glueing the construction together. Nevertheless, the looks are truly splendid. Love the way it adds to the scene in one of the last shots, through the open door and window. Think the fairly empty pattern is excellent, definitely gives the impression of the wallpaper’s presence, without becoming overly busy. Recently saw some 1:16 scale diorama work in an exhibition. There were some very interesting pieces there. But even in that much larger scale it seems important when modeling interiors to give the impression rather than the full to scale translation of, let’s say, a photographic example. Where the wallpaper becomes too detailed it blurs the eye, maybe I should say my eye. However, when that rule of thumb of giving the impression is in place, like with the wallpaper in Sid’s office, it adds depth to the scene. Even adds a sheen on the window panes, which will become even more visible when all the sections are lit. Looking forward to seeing those shots. Cheerio

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

I very much enjoyed reading your comment Vincent. as its probably one of the longest to appear in the comments page. this build is hopefully going to end up on the same par as South Shields. even though it will be over shadowed by the bigger station. it will make a great back drop. that is the plan. so we shall see on the one. decorating the insides does enhance the lighting in some ways depending on the colours used. when trains pass by the station it will be interesting to see how the final out come will look. until then my friend stay safe. cheer's Tony.

[@wheezypalacemodels7726]

Hiya Tony, great to see the next instalment of this build. I did wonder a few days ago that I had missed it but found it in the end. As usual it is your attention to detail that makes it all come to life. Hope you are well and hopefully catch up soon, all the best, Chris n Jules

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Hello Chris & Jules. thank you for commenting. its great to be back in the railway room, 4 weeks has been a long time away from the hobby. i do like to look for new ideas and bits i can make for the railway. we have will to have a catch up at some point. stay safe my friend best wishes Tony & Laura.

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Hello Everyone and what a great response to the latest video. its great to see many of you back commenting again. and thanks again for your patience. Tony.

[@GBDT]

That's looking great Tony. It's going to be another masterpiece building for the layout.

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Thank you. its taking shape as you have rightly said. but all the work is focused on the inside of these buildings at the moment. but the main change will come when the roofs are added and the canopy gets fitted around both buildings tying them together, lots to do before then. thanks again for popping in. stay safe Tony.

[@jameshatfield1194]

Great to have you back I am glad you showed how you do the lighting as I chickened out but I will borrow your way of doing the wiring and can run it up the back of the buildings I am glad your weather is calming down Rainy season here but not too bad Shame about Sids hole in the floor I hope you have a plan for that ! Thanks for the video it was great to watch you ahain on a Saturday Morning with a cup of tea

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Good morning James, its great to be back and hopefully the videos will be a bit more regular. I have missed reading the feed back from the viewers of these videos. as they always spur me on to keep going. i feel with this build is a build that should have been done years ago. so in my mind its a step backwards but in a good way. as its an original. until next time all the very best Tony.

[@afm1948]

Sid will be wetting himself when he sees his new office mate. Looking really great even at this stage. Thinking about how to bridge the gap between buildings; could you drill a couple of small holes in each end gable and use a small diameter metal rod to conduct the current through the roof of the verandah? These could be part of the roof trusses. Keep on enoying your guys summer. Arthur

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Good morning Arthur. you have read my mind sir. i did do something similar with south shields. but i had used rails back to back to carry the current across form one side to the other. and that worked a treat. so yes a great idea you have there. until next time stay safe Tony.

[@johnmurphy4915]

It's coming along very nicely, Tony looking forward to the rest of the build, looking brilliant, all the best to you and your family.

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Good morning John. thank you for the kind words. and all the very best to you and your family, have a great weekend as its going to be a hot one again. cheerio for now Tony.

Great to be back at the North Eastern with you Tony. Hope you have plenty of trips left to do while summer is still with us.

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Good morning Steve. its a beautiful morning again sun is beaming down and the early morning due is evaporating, what else can we ask for. and its great to be back on the seen again. until next time stay safe. all the very best Tony.

[@stephenpike3147]

Hi Tony, do like the concertina construction method of the ticket counter. You really are a pro on fitting out the insides of these buildings, it seems to have become infectious. But that’s the nice thing about the hobby you can do as much or as little as you want and enjoy doing. And of course viewing afterwards. Great to see a building nearing completion, lights on, running water next? (Ha ha). All the best Stephen

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Yes, absolutely Stephen. Little or as much detail as you want, as you know when you light up a room there needs to be something in there. otherwise what the point of putting lights into these buildings. running water is a nice idea, but who will turn the taps on. LOL. Stay safe my friend. best wishes Tony & Laura.

[@AlanReynoldsBucklandJunction]

You never fail to amaze me with the amount of fine detail you apply to your modelling. Top Marks " Tony " Sir. Regards Alan :o)

Pleased to see your loft bound again sir.I thought the ladies loo cubicles were the stars ,the bank of drawers certainly deserve a mention. Your ingenuity knows no bounds 👍🏻

Good morning David. even with the windows white washed we know these little details are in these rooms. thank you for commenting. and have a great weekend. stay safe Tony.

Sid has his office completed minus the furniture. Ticket office ready to do business. The ladies have their loo. What is there not to like! Bill and Janet from California.

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Thank you Bill & Janet. Its all tying in together nicely bit by bit. its a shame i never thought of the towel dispenser earlier so the Gents can have some. never mind maybe next time. take care my friends across the pond. and have a great weekend. Cheerio Tony & Laura.

[@mickeybarrass3625]

Well that was well worth the wait. That buildings looking great Tony. I imagine Sid, will be going down and getting them builders out the pubs beer garden, to fix that git big hole in his office.😂 Cheers for sharing Tony. Great watch as ever.

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Good morning Mickey. Sid has really shaken those lazy builders up. and got them out of the pubs. so progress should be a bit more progressive as they say. thanks again for commenting. cheer's for now Tony.

Good Morning Ken. Thank you for commenting. i am already ahead of you. the ticket stamping machines are already made and on the counter. and now i am looking for staff to fill the vacancies. you don't fancy the job do you. i am sure i can fit you in. take care my friend. cheer's for now Tony.

Just what I wanted Tony, you have inspired and planted `a seed` for the office building I am installing on my layout, I have 3d cabinets, computers, printers and screens (just arrived today) currently being painted matt grey but not a desk so if you do not mind I am going to us your idea of making desks and hopefully once finished will post you some photos, thanks again take care regards Barry..👍🖥🖨⌨

Good evening Tony! What's all this? Back in the loft? I hadn't realised you'd left! Lol! I guess playing catch-up has its advantages! :) Great to see you getting on with the painting and decorating and a bit of furniture creation! Getting very close to completing Tyne Dock station now! Cheers, Ian.

Careful my friend, all this catching on these video's may give you quare eyes. Yep back in the loft trying to try and get this station built before christmas. thanks again Tony.

[@thelibrarian46]

I dare say the Vicker's Wife will be asking Sid if she can keep some of the workmen's washing in ther draws before Harry Trundles comes to collect it. Quite a difficult situation, by all accounts according to the Vicker. Depite all of this ballyhoo, Elsie Tanner has suggested to Mr Eastern that he and Sid could have a jolly with Mrs Simms on a coach journey to Butlins, on the South Coast. They can all share some cockles and jellied eels, washed down with some home made stout, purchased from Honest John's Lock Up, under the arches near the station. Then enjoy a few rounds of Kariokee, and bingo, at Butlins.

Hi Tony. Great work as usual. My main problem with using brick paper is that is eventually fades in the sunlight. Do you have this problem and can any viewer offer a solution?

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Good morning Ray. I have been thinking about the question you asked. i do have some fading on the far side at Newhassle along the back wall. and to be honest i have not done anything with it yet. i know that matt Varnish spray can bring the colours back. around Newhassle junction i just repainted the scene and brought it back to life that way. these are the only solutions i can think off i am afraid. i hope that these may help. many thanks again for commenting. cheer's Tony.

[@alfiejohnchester8108]

Hi Tony, great to see you back and the video of the station being continued. Hope you had a good break. I was browsing tour library recently and came across video 155 - the Trix Class 124. Just out of interest, did you ever complete the project for a six car train? It looked a lovely model. Anyway, thanks again.

[@TONYNORTHEASTERN]

Good morning Alfie. its good to be back in the loft tinkering around with the station, but there is so much to do. the class 124 is still in a box as i just can not get a hold of modern driving unit to replace the old mini trix one. i have tried two various decoders and it just not running right. hopefully i will come back to it. once i get a replacement drive unit. many thanks again for commenting. all the best Tony.
