Im back! I have been creating a LOT of mess in the layout room and not running any trains!!
Here is why….. the much awaited next stage of the layout has begun!
If you wondered how i was going to use the big ballast yard area next to the canal - here you go!
These new baseboards i have built allow the initial dive-under to connect up to a second, which will allow a return loop branch line to be added, along with access to the yard i am going to build.
There arent any trains running in this update im afraid, ive just been too busy!
We will have to test it all out soon though, so watch this space.
Thanks for tuning in, leave your comments below!

Great video Eric looking forward to seeing you run a few trains on it

@UndergroundEric Год назад

Cheers, me too!

I am a big fan of underground trains, we call them subways here in NYC, I am looking forward to more of this project.

@UndergroundEric Год назад

I must get over to NYC, i really want to see grand central station! Thanks for stopping by.

It’s looking excellent Eric, thank you for sharing your process with us. I would vote to extend the scenery, but then I’m not the one who has to do it. As one other commenter mentioned, the way the lines cut under one another is truly reminiscent of real life. Thanks again and very best wishes.

@UndergroundEric Год назад

Cheers, yeah i think as a whole it would be better, im just struggling to vision how it will look, which is usually the easy bit!

@johnstephens649 Год назад

Serious modelling, especially if you now need a trolley jack! Looking good and love the different levels. Looking forward to the next instalment…

@UndergroundEric Год назад

Haha! I needed a second pair of hands so had to think outside the box 🤣🤣🤣

@ricktownend9144 Год назад

Fascinating to see it all in the raw planning stage! Look forward to future videos...

@UndergroundEric Год назад

Cheers mate! Hours of sitting there thinking how on earth do i do this… 🤣

@nickyb1822 Год назад

Looking fantastic

@UndergroundEric Год назад

Thanks!

Good work Eric, glad you forgot the cross over to a double slip (even not used, can be interacted later) 12-13 wagon ballast train is still large in OO! The gentle incline takes the eye away from a flat base board + deciving the eye from the rest of the railway.

@UndergroundEric Год назад

Cheers bud, yeah should be long enough to give the right feel i think, most of the other trains are only 2/3rds scale length if not half anyhow so should do nicely

@darrelldeltic807 Год назад

Looking good Eric, more operational interest for you and looking forward to your next update, cheers Darrell

Great work with some excellent carpentry thrown in for good measure. 👍

Thanks so much

Nice one Eric you have given me a idea for my layout storage problem thanks for sharing 2 per cent incline makes it easier on the locos cheers Al

@UndergroundEric Год назад

Awesome, good luck mate! I will be having the fiddle yard under harefield if all goes to plan. Just a dead end though.

@TQphotography2023 Год назад

Extending the scene seems best idea maybe have just the road go all the way over with long foot arches. Would look interesting across multiple levels and give a look of the King’s Cross approaches and other areas in central London and some areas of Birmingham with roads and railways at lots of different heights like it’s been intertwined as things got added over the years always thought that sort of area made a great urban modelling challenge with different ages and colour of brick and wear. Keep up the great work. Most enjoyable update as usual

@UndergroundEric Год назад

Cheers for the ideas! Yeah that would look cool, its tough as the boards are so narrow, doesnt leave much space

@mark5439 Год назад

Yes yes yes yes yes! The big question is can I wait until after a shower and making sure I have a hot drink so I can sit down, relax and enjoy this properly

@UndergroundEric Год назад

Haha, its nothing special mate! 😇😇

@mark5439 Год назад

@@UndergroundEric it was the usual amount of special. Very enjoyable.

Oh my god this is so cool 😊

@UndergroundEric Год назад

Thanks a bunch!

@MarchWestJunctionTMD Год назад

Looking good Eric 👍 The incline being so gradual looks a realistic drop. Will be great when it’s finished and would be a fantastic photo opportunity as the train climbs. I would blend it into one scene as that would look like a London sprawl of how the lines cut under each other. Andy

@UndergroundEric Год назад

Thanks Andy, yeah pics will be the best bit hey. I cant wait for it!

@davidportch8837 Год назад

Wow... a lot of work but looking great...will be interesting nto see whether you will try and tie in the two levels or not...separate looks good in any case...

@UndergroundEric Год назад

Thanks, i think i have to try to tie them in really, it would look smarter. We shall see what madness i come up with 🤣

@owenslanejunction7544 Год назад

great video

@Matsine Год назад

I would suggest to extend the scene further. I think it would probably be kinda similar to maybe the tracks between Farringdon and Kings Cross where there are also multiple levels of track in a trench between all the buildings. Great video again, really enjoyed it.

@UndergroundEric Год назад

Thanks, im leaning towards it i think! Just a case of how!

@FC-Mobile-Highlights Год назад

This looks amazing from the thumbnail

@UndergroundEric Год назад

I cant wait to get scenery on!

@rayshowsay1749 Год назад

Contrary to those commenting so far on the possibility of extending the scene outwards, I say 'nay'; doing so would remove the visual image of a train exiting the 'tunnel' and grinding its way up the _whole length_ of the incline rather than playing hide-and-seek. For trains that are longer than the wagon capacity of a single yard track, another option could be to 'double over' the train; that is breaking the train to leave excess wagons on the mainline then coming back for them after the leading wagons have been shunted into the yard using the head shunt.

@UndergroundEric Год назад

Yeah its such a tough one isnt it? As i love the street scene up top but its a bit small so be nice to extend it, but as you say it sacrifices the lower level looking as interesting. Thanks for the comment

@insanecreeper9000 Год назад

New intro, new content, and new layout updates? Oh heck yeah!

@UndergroundEric Год назад

Gotta be done!!

@jackhstproductions649 Год назад

23:06 I think it would be amazing to have it all as one big scene

@UndergroundEric Год назад

Cheers yeah i think so too tbf

@ngaugefouroaksstreetstatio6932 Год назад

Very interesting layout, Could you use a curved point in that tight area?

@UndergroundEric Год назад

Cheers, already have mate, that is one! The streamline ones are very shallow sadly

@mark5439 Год назад

Extending the town scene over the new section is the way to go in my humble opinion. I'm thinking where the pic goes underground between barons court and West Kensington. I used to drive on the district line and always thought that part would make a cool model. Brilliant update as always, good job Eric ❤

@UndergroundEric Год назад

Thanks Mark! I will have a look at that, defo in need of inspiration on that one. It would be a bloody tall bridge over the top!

@mark5439 Год назад

@@UndergroundEric The blocks of flats next to the railway in Kensington are well below the level of the bridge. Bear in mind the bridge is way over the district line and the pic line goes further underground there. On the layout, the road leaving station could turn left and not cross the rails. Hard to explain without you seeing what I'm getting at

@UndergroundEric Год назад

@@mark5439 its difficult because its quite a narrow space either side of the lower section, plus i want to extend the station up top to have a second platform! I do like making it hard for myself 🤣🤣

Hey mate, new to the hobby. Where can I get a 00 gauge tube train? The only decent ones I can find online are from the transport museum and cost a fortune.

@UndergroundEric 9 месяцев назад

Yes bachmann s stock from the museum or EFE Rail do a motorised 1938 stock
