New Junction - Adding a Station Pilot Siding, Part Two | Electrics & Paint 

Don't forget to keep up with all the latest news and behind the scenes stuff at the New Junction Facebook page: facebook.com/newjunctionrailway

The pilot siding is definitely coming to life - looks great Richard! Really like the buffer stops - the sidings would have looked lost without them. Looking forward to the next episode. Best, John

Looking good. Once ballasted and scenery added it should really bring the scene to life.

Lovely vid mate nice detailing

Cool continuation. A good 5AM start to the day (if I hadn't watched the news at 5AM first).

Great my misses heard you say playing with trains. Its having a running session. 😉😁

Excellent progress. Love those buffer stops with the lights. -Thomas

I love the quality of your work but I think it would be more appropriate to refer to the "catch" point as the TRAP point. I presume you have altered the wiring of the point as supplied .Finally you know that you that you will be wiring the various lengths of track etc so why not pre-solder the drop wires on the underside of the rails both of which can be fed to the centre of the track and down thereby hiding the wires and any ' heavy' soldering joints which most of us can do !

Great update!! Now I understand the use of a catch-point (your answer on the comment of Greg Hale!) Cheers Onno.

very nice Richard giving me some ideas for the buffers :)

Bloody Awesome!!! Got to be one of my favourite layouts on RU-vid!!

Very Nice! i'm adding a pilot siding of my own for my class 47!

Lovely stuff

37s a plenty, nicely done with the sidings

Great work mate looking good

Fantastic video! Nice progress. Sennan

Great stuff, another great video

Great video them sidings look great

Great video keep up the fab work

Nice job, one thing you could do is when you fit the point motors fit one to the catch on a double pole switch so that when the point is set for main line it will 'derail' the catch points

A timely hint on the suitcase connectors. I think I have a dodgy point (one on order) but I think I'll go back round the connectors before I rip out the old one. Cheers

Soldering is a dark art, I have found it quite enjoyable tinning wires, soldering them to track, I am using code 75 flexi for the first time, its great, I will be posting my first layout update on the FB group for you all.

Advanced model railway prevayors Never say publicly we play with our trains. More like we've held the trains for way too long so we shall now release them to do their business. I do love your speedy painting arm. Tell me how I get me one. Smashing good job. Thanks mate for sharing and carry on.

Looks good, moving more than me lol will have to come and visit again at this rate lol calm down 😄

One person obviously dosn't like your channel again Richard. another great video sidings are looking great😎😎😎😎🚂🚂

Congrats on 10K subs and 1,000,000 total views!

What you need isn't a standard plier! No you need a pair of Cable Ratchet Crimping Tool! Go to eBay type in TU-36 Modular Telecom Crimping Tool or Cable Ratchet Tool the cost is around £12:30 You'll never look back no more dead wires or cable faults! As always really enjoyed your production great work well done

Nice one, your soldering is as good as mine :)

Good job Richard. Instead of using a brush after drilling a hole, why don't you get a USB vacuum? That's what I use and they aren't expensive. You can use it for ballast or flocking and get your excess back again. Amazon sell them and they tend ot be called keyboard vacuums.

looking lovely mate can't wait to see the ballasting and weathering but small question for ya that set of Rh points on the mainline any interesting plans for that??? maybe a old carriage siding?? or running shed?

Really interesting if i do say so, also Congrats on 10k subs NJ

Congrats on 10k subs 😁! Do you use insulfrog points? Are they simpler to wire in?

Hi Richard. Noticed you mentioned the pre-soldered joiners. Although they seem expensive they seem a decent alternative to soldering, especially if you're soldering skills aren't great!. Have you had any issues with them?. Cheers.

That catch point should have really been half way between the two points, so you have room or a sub signal to exit onto the ML

Hi great work! Why did you not solder the wires underneath the rails, to avoid unsightly blobs of solder?

Great video! Nice Sidings! How long till march update? And running session?

This video is music to my ears. Seeing u use wired fishplates and splicers(are they the DCC kit you can buy with wires joiners and a resister for the end?). I have been told so many times that’s wired fishplates don’t work or the DCC kit is not good but then u say u use as poor at solder like I gives me so much confidence to use. My question is do u use wired fishplates in every join and is points same as normal track?

you have a S Bend with the two Points Back to Back at 2:16 lower scene

Is it just me or are The sidings shouting for the new Accurascale Buffers (if they ever make them)

Which buffer stops have you used cant make the product code out i can there gaugemaster they look fantastic i want to get a few of them and do they take power from the track ?

What backing track are you using, sounds awesome?

What does a catch point do?

What is the use of a catchpoint?? Cheers Onno.

What is the value of putting a Catch-point where you have installed it. Cheers Greg

What sound chip does that europhoenix class 37 have

wat does a catch point do?

What's the music called?

Noob question over here... ☝🏻 What is a catch-point? Why are they found just off pilot sidings?

What’s a catch point ?

Disused line turn one buffer lights off or have the disused like have the buffer light have one working one smashed broken ok same buffer maybe a tree growing with weeds shrubs missing sleepers as been removed maybe some fly tip rubbish or likes maybe an old wagon buffer end of tree to make you think how it got there. Maybe as urban other buffer Removed have a sleeper on the rails to stoop things going ovet it and ether remover the Track leaving sleeper marks. But if it was in Stratton they would both be keepers neat tidy as both visible by station and town and what I said upper more for rural area. But smashed lights would be there maybe run the pilots up tonebd If station so it can hold a train and wagon maybe steam and support coach or a thing like nuclear flask or sim short trains. One could be a storage for northern trains for there over night storage and story been the station dose not have not enough bay plays and use as extra night storage and to be cleaned. Maybe a 1or 2 car dmu. Another idea set them as clean new ballast like york pilots and they often have a 37s or sim parked there. See Facebook as for photos

Those Scotchlok connectors are notoriously unreliable. Best to solder and heat shrink.
