New Layout Build - Additional details and structures 

I am not a railway modeller but I can appreciate the skill and attention to detail that Richard brings to his hobby - and to his technical ability to produce videos - very enjoyable to watch, thank you

That’s my Sunday evening sorted, thank you so much 🤗🤗🤗🤗

The attention to every last minute detail is why I love this layout so much. As a fellow modeller, I can appreciate the time, effort and thought that is going into Everard Junction....oh! and it's 80s too. My era!

"One of the worst bits of the hobby... you spend half of your life waiting for things to dry." That is so true! 🤣🤣🤣

An absolute masterpiece. I am sure I am not the only one who looks forward to the notification of a new video and keenly watches your progress. Only shame is that it can never leave your loft, would be amazing to see your work at an exhibition.

There were lots of times when i had to remind myself i was looking at a model, not the real world.

Really, really nice work. Your continued attention to detail is amazing. Great video!! Thanks for sharing and stay safe. Cheers - Larry.

Wow simply Amazing the layout keeps getting better and better each video well done 👍

"This video is getting a bit too long now" I don't think your videos could be too long lol

Amazing work as usual! Love it Richard.

If I might make a suggestion, dip the newspapers in a little tea or something to make them more brown like newsprint gets when it ages. Anyway, great work. You've got much more dedication than I do. It would take me decades to do what you get done in a few months.

Great video as always. Have you thought of adding some advertising billboards? Very common in the 80s until cigarette advertising was banned.

An early finish from work, lovely roast dinner and an Everard Junction video - a perfect Sunday 👍 The layout is looking amazing.

Amazing how the retaining wall has improved the background proper. Plus you can nearly hear the frogs

I am so impressed with your model. I am an ex BR employee ( 1965/2000 ) and drove electric trains on inner suburban london lines and recognise most of everything you have. Its the little bits like the familiar weeds that grow all over or the displaced troughing covers. We always laughed about knowing you were getting nearer to London as the graffitti and rubbish got closer together. Also the extraneous junk laying about near and on the tracks.👍

I think we'll have to call that fella in the flats 'Balcony Bloke' :) He's certainly got the best view in the house. Thanks for another great video.

the presentation of your videos just gets better. always impressed with your skill Richard, thanks for doing these updates

Perfect viewing for a Sunday evening, love how the layout has been coming together since the restart

I really love that vibe with the litter and graffiti! I think it would be great to see old ASDA trolleys and stollen bicycles dumped in that drainage pond!

First! This is quite possibly the best layout in the world!

Sehr authentisch👍die neue Mauer, der kleine Kanal perfekt gestaltet.Der Schrottplatz ist auch super gestaltet 😀 sehr interessante Anlage.Thanks.

Haha, you got your reflection in the murky water then.😁 There's some excellent new camera angles there Richard. The close-ups of the urban railway are very effective.👍👌😁

This video highlights that the small details are just as important as the big ones. Amazing layout

Adding layers of detail can only improve a layout, that is given Richards amazing skill level!

Your attention to detail is, as always, fantastic. Run your trains late, maybe, or offer a bus connection service to complete a journey... or simply cancel your trains all together to complete that 80’s feel. 👍🏼

Once again a modelling masterclass That retaining wall looks as its been there all along. Brilliant blending with the existing scenery and a nice tutorial on the retaining wall.

Just brilliant. Award winning skill my man. I'm actually back in the 80s everything I see your layout. They were great times to live . Great work.

Nice to see you back on form again Richard, great video as usual. Keep it up, you inspire people like me. Cheers Graham 👍

Nice one Richard, looking good. BTW, have you had a new camera? The running shots now seem to be 60 fps. Then again it might just be me lol. Cheers, Tom :)

An extremely relaxing viewing. No problem about waiting for glue to dry, gives time for tea and cake. With all these modern materials and scenic items this side of the hobby becomes really addictive. The water really brought that section alive. Carry on the good work

I think you bought a load of pieces from me, terraced houses etc a few years ago when I was selling my model town.

More videos like this one, please.

Cracking video, plenty of ideas there for my own scenery improvement, thanks

You see lots of model railways but not alot have as much detail as your .... keep going with the fantastic work

And on the seventh day God said, "Let's see what that bloke on Everard Junction comes up with."

Amazing skill but no grafitti? Shows you just how much the whole scene this man takes me back to my childhood

Hi Richard thanks for sharing an interesting and enjoyable packed detailed video (PS never too long). Always a pleasure to watch your clips looking forward to the next, take care and please stay safe..

What is there not to like about this video.... as always I am Amazed with the attention to detail and the artistic styling of every little detail. Wonderful stuff. Too Long..... rubbish, its never long enough and you did get some reflection in your standing water.

Thanks, Richard for a Great update...Excellent Work and Thanks for sharing your skills with us all ..👍👍..Tony.. 🇦🇺

To do list on a layout? A layout is one continuous to-do-list.

It’s so beautiful! You’re a great builder and artist.

Maybe some railing along the towpath under the tunnel. congrats for a great job. And thanks for sharing your videos.

The production value of your vids has gone thru the roof! Your new job has been good for you!

you are doing GREAT JOB but what worry's me the most is what happens when you finish the build i cant see you just sitting watching the trains go around the big fun for you is the build hope you have more space where you can start another keep up the work and i hope it takes you a couple of years more to finish

mandela died in 2013, definately a paper from the future ! lol

I have to say, I've been enjoying this channel for a few years, and I still love every update and am so glad you continue to provide us with instruction, inspiration, and entertainment. Thank you, good sir!

Hi have watched all of your videos since the beginning and your attention to detail is awesome but as a drainlayer you have made a mistake on the instal of the drainage pipe in the hill it would have a concrete pad under the pipe to prevent erosion from the water undermining the wall and the wing walls would be extended out further to prevent the hill from being washed out Otherwise brilliant work

Have you named the guy on the balcony in the block of flats? Is it Dave, please tell me it's Dave.

Evening Richard. Well worth waiting for. That dirty water looks absolutely fantastic 👍🏻 Short video concept is really good as you’ve packed lots in with good tips 😀

Your attention to detail and the time and effort you put in to your layout is really paying off. Really good video work and editing too. I loved the ending with the reflection of the passing trains in the pond water, before panning up to the actual loco and wagons. Nice touch.

All coming together really good now Richard another great video looking forward to the next one 👍

The water effect has come out fantastic! Sure you’ve covered it in a previous video so apologies for asking but what do you use for your cable trunking?

Plenty done even the little bits make a difference. Can't beat a drop of resin in those soakaway areas, makes a huge difference.

2 in one week 😀

0 views when I hit the play button, great to see an update, that wills retaining wall really makes a big difference to the scene. Great to see progress in lots of areas, but cleverly hiding the areas your working on to keep us all in suspense good stuff mate Andy

I always did like the attention to detail on the old layout. The new retaining walls, cable troffs and mixed ballast really bring out that slightly run down look of Britain's railways in the 80s and early 90s.

I am a relative newcomer to Roket glue myself. Can't believe the time it has saved me already.

hi. i simply admire your patience and attention to detail. brilliant layout and scenery

It's looking amazing! Just missing random tonne bags of ballast and lengths of rail just left to the side

That retaining wall looks mint ... it's all about the details ... good job ...

You probably already have plans for the corner of the layout between the line and the backdrop, but, if not, a gasometer might fit quite well.

Good update that. I like the scenery construction videos 👌🏼

Wow... spoiling us, RIchard, sir! Two videos in about a week! As redundantly repetitive as it may be, you work is first rate and so very impressive! I love the attention to detail and the little additions. The water certainly looks right. The only thing missing (aha) are the take away foam cups and stuff one sees where you were adding the trash. (just kidding, great work!)

Rich, a Nuclear ower bo thanks! sticker on one of the concrete bridges is an idea, there is one on the up side bridge over the A120 that has been there decades, great work as usual

The tiny newspapers are a marvelous touch!

Wow! Wow! Wow! Richard. This really is looking stunning. One would have to say you have a natural gift for this. Thanks for sharing, thoroughly enjoyed it. Cheers, Bob

Arguably one of the best detailed layouts currently on RU-vid!

Fabulous. Lifelike model railway. Have you thought about perhaps changing the lighting so it is a bit more 'sun like'? I saw photos of Rod Stewarts layout, and a major feature was the lighting. He made it look like a realistic sunset/sunrise which added interest both in the colour and the interplay of shadows on the layout.

Great work. On the litter front a concentration at a signal that would regularly hold a train is a good touch. Approach to haymarket from Slateford is one I know of where drivers have made sure there's coffee cups ballasting the cess.

This is wonderful.

Richard, what can I say that i havent already said. Amazing what those little touches just add. Absolutely phenomenal. However some magazines that used to float around near tracksides, especially if you were standing track side, outside depots or yards, werent always of a red top nature.

Brilliant Richard! All the touches you have achieved have brought further realism to this wonderful layout. Well done. Iain

That music...like a late 80s sitcom

Fantastic! great and interesting tips, amazing layout full credit to you many thanks.

Balcony Toby non stop trainspotting and keeping an eye on the progress :)

Wonderful, relaxing video to watch and amazing attention to detail as always. I hope that you're still enjoying driving your Granada. Regards, Paul.

Been looking forward to this

I was wondering where the litter and graffiti was --and then you added it! You do need one solitary battered old trainer lying on the ballast with no explanation of how it got there. Also, I'd love to see how your visual effect works when the DMU on the branch goes under the mainline and does it's clever turn right, I'm sure the added detail will make that effect work very well.

I am in awe of your skill and eye for detail... your vision. I'm not a model railway buff, but waiting for new episodes I have checked a few other UK railway modeling sites and frankly, I find them wanting in detail but especially weathering- I now really appreciate the effort you put into stuff which is not immediately obvious, but brings so much cohesion to the layout. I was particularly impressed with the fuelling station you did a few years ago on the old layout. Your car must be absolutely pristine behind the bits we can see. A thirst for detail and getting it right which, and I mean absolutely no disrespect, borders on OCD?

Worth the wait....excellent update and video....shows focus and dedication to this enthralling hobby

Don't worry about the joint under the bridge. It is good practice to add expansion joints to the full height of a bridge in this area, be they constructed of concrete or brick.

Here’s a tip you could try in the future for sculptamold, if you put it to a zip lock plastic bag and cut off the corner you can use it like a cake piping bag.😉

Thank good there is no graffiti at the brickwalls, or.... 🐱‍👤🎉✨

I am green of envy! I built Airfix models when I was a kid, 50 years ago, and the all looked like they had crashed in to a glue pit. Amazing layout and I have spent the last couple of days watching this channel, almost NON STOP

I've been a follower for a few years now. I admire your enthusiasm and attention to detail. Thank you. Its always a joy to see a video crop up on my timeline. Join? What join? Loved the water. Excellent.

Brilliantly explained video again, love watching these can`t wait for the next one!

You have done some brilliant work there it’s looking fantastic keep up the good work.

The new road surface looks a lot better than did the photo paper. This is probably the most realistic layout I've seen fro the ones I've watched on RU-vid. I bet it looks stunning in real life...

I see a company (I forget the name) is now producing 00-gauge fish fitted with tiny motors controlled by DCC, which you can add to streams. How about a few for your drain? And don't forget a couple of dead ones to float on the surface.

Where's the family of foxes that live on the embankments?

34:33 work of art. Love it!!

top quality, thankyou for sharing you're knowledge,talent and skill and explaining it in a way that is truly inspirational, thankyou.

Hello Richard, Oh to have such a steady hand, one of the benefits of youth I guess. As "hellooo" below said your videos can never be too long and I agree because the amount of interest you manage to include in each video makes them so enjoyable to watch. Thanks heaps Richard. Cheers Greg

Your the second one I’ve seen use IPA as a wetting agent dragon junction skid uses it ,is it better than the water with liquid soap ,layout looks a treat

Always amazed at how much effort you put in. Perhaps a saving would be to leave a couple of buildings as contstion sites.

I’ve got a few suggestions for you. Perhaps put some wild animals in the more rural part with the drainage pond to show that nature is taking over. And secondly, how about having the path from the street to the canal transition from paving slabs to dirt?

Outstanding "work" as usual, Sir. You really have an eagle eye for details to add and you have the skills to make them noticeable and very well blended in at the same time. The background music reminds of Radiohead's "Creep", but I guess you're way too young for it. :-) And again I am petitioning for 90min videos twice a week. :-)

It is an absolute education watching you working on your layout. These videos from yourself and others are such a great help to me just starting out in the hobby,at 56 😬

Thank you for another demonstration of your genius level modelling skills. A pleasure to behold and a benchmark for others like myself to aim for.
