New Layout Build - Station Detail 

Fantastic, thanks for cheering up my Sunday. BTW the canopy needs a single shoe thrown on it, there always seems to be one in real life.😂

This gives a really nostalgic look. I'm not from the UK but I can definitively feel the late 80's early 90's environment. Amazing work!!! thanks for sharing

I love / hate watching your work. Your level of skill, talent and knowledge is mind boggling. Everything you create is simply off the charts. Every time I watch one of your videos it makes all my work look even worse. Thank you for sharing. I’m headed to my train room to throw everything in the trash. 😂

Love it! Simple but clever things like the young couple that have apparently just arrived and left the station make it so realistic!

Never too little, never too much but just right! Another very enjoyable visit to Everard Junction.

Ooooff. I'm going through the mill a bit of late and the shot(s) @16:52 and after really tugged the heartstrings. Suddenly I was 7 or 8 years old again, going to the Motor Show at Earls Court with Dad, waiting at the home station in Cambridge for the train to "town". It was all so fast, exciting, noisy. Everything was so red, white and blue, thanks to Network South East. I even remember a PacMan chomping his way along an LED display at Kings Cross, removing all the letters on a departure board. (sigh, sniff) Thanks Richard, you really are a magician.

Blimey, even adding pigeons. How far can one go with details. Brilliant idea though and while at it by the thought, one could as well blend in some free roaming pets such as dogs and cats. Picked up a new idea here. Thank you Richard, and your craft, imagination and bringing a layout to life is just off any scale of the ordinary. Sublime as we know it, and you just never stop the amazement. Fabulous 🙂

As this is the 80's ... "Is it real, or is it Memorex". If you know, you know. l lived through this time and probably owned a number of the cars in your scrapyard. This looks so real to me, you bring back some good memories. Keep up the great work.

More pigeons. They add so much more realism to the mix with people at the station. Station roof as you say filled in the void of what was there. Great look

Fantastic update Richard. The detail on the platforms and the canopies really set the station off. Thanks for sharing. Roy.

honestly, the detail and workmanship is outstanding

Looks brilliant. Your videos are better than anything on the TV. What a view. Speechless really.

You bring so much pleasure to so many people. Thank you.

Great attention to detail… it certainly has that 80s feel

You've captured a vibe and that's what keeps me coming back.

Thanks Richard, Another great video. Brings back memories as a kid travelling between Swindon and Paddington to see my grandparents in the late 80's. Could put a few brute and luggage trolleys full of mail by the lift doors on the platforms for the evening mail trains. Keep up the great work!!!

Just when I think your layout couldn't get any better... bam! You drop another video hahaha. Fantastic work as always.

This looks great a really authentic modern period imagining. The night scenes are particularly effective

Great intro. Real 80's feel. Always look forward to these vids.

Wow just wow, Richard your attention to detail is amazing some of those shots you really have to look twice to see if they are real, wow. Eddy xx

A pleasure yet again to see the best railway modeller on RU-vid at work. What more can I say. Excellent as usual Richard .👌 Ps love the pigeons. atb Graham 🙂

Excellent work as always. I know a model railway is never truly finished, but you can probably begin to see the woods from the trees and a very faint, and distant finishing line. Superb work, love your videos ❤❤❤

I am amazed how good the "platform canopies" look without hiding the trains moving through them. (I would have been too chicken to do Platform #1 as well... But it worked!) As You said, "They can ruin the station scene." Well Done Richard! I'm Waiting for the HO Scale Railfans now on the end of the platform!

That guy looks like Roy Orbinson (24:15) Impressed with your layout! Greetings from The Netherlands.

Spectacular work! The level of detail you go to is unbelievable!!

An absolute triumph. The canopies have tied together the platforms and the multi storey buildings, which I have to admit I previously didn't like at all. But now they tie together cohesively and look fantastic. Absolute triumph. Fantastic work. Really creates an atmospheric scene.

I love the journey you take us on. I felt goosebumps when I saw the train coming through the station at platform level. Took me back to my teens standing next to my dad on a day out. Thank you so much. All the best Alex

I do like the footbridge with the big glass windows...perfect for trainspotting if its chucking it down. Amazing detail again. All the best.

Great update and excellent video and audio on the nighttime scenes. As someone who used NSE stations in this era the realism is spot on!

The whole video is always worth watching, but just the opening montages you create are some of my favorite model railroad content on RU-vid. Thanks for sharing!

Remarkable work, remarkable results, a pleasure so share this project with you. Thanks.

An excellent canopy. Makes for a wonderful relaxing station.

Beautiful as always. You have a fantastic eye for the details that make it look and feel right. I can still feel the boredom of a school age boy waiting for the train home and almost smell the brake dust of the goods train passing. The pigeons, especially the eyecatching one on the canopy make the scene.

Just love it! Reminds me of travelling back from London to Slough by train at night with mum as a child in the eighties. The pigeons are superb too.

Excellent detail to the station platfroms as to all the layout that you make . Super video to watch look forward to the next instalment in the layout.

I love this station is just the right levels of nostalgia, busy daytime urbanism, and night time seediness.

Awesome as usual Richard!! Thank you for sharing this video! Cheers Onno.

love the shot of the HST flying through the station!

The pigeons really sell it. Nice. I love the world building of it all. Thanks for sharing it with us.

It is the detail that makes things on this layout so good Richard, but on thing you always seem to get right is EXACTLY the right amount of everything. Canopies are excellent, and as for the pigeons....... Cheers, Bob

Greatly done... when piggions than you should add a lot of 0.2mms wire cut to 0.4mms of length coloured in dry orange brick for cigarette's filters. Thrown away the are to find evetywhere on the pavement, in the ballast along the plattforms, and everywhere else so the campaign signs "Keep Britain Tidy" do make more sense... 😉 btw: Piggeon's white crab is to be seen on several spots under the places they like to rest... Thanks a lot for sharing your ideas.

Such awesome work. Love watching these vids. I don't know how it was in the UK, but in the US, you'd have to have the sketchy soft drink vending machine with the light ballast that was on its last leg. the one you knew was going to take your money when you used it. lol!

It gets more and more amazing everytime he uploads a video. The attention to detail is fantasic!

This is very impressive! The bins, litter and pigeons are an especial joy.

Fantastic level of detail and so evocative of the awfulness of the architecture and urban landscape of the times.

Your level of detail is commendable! I'm not a model railroad builder, but I do appreciate and enjoy watching these things get built.

Love the video as always. The station looks great. Really like the pigeons too! Great work

This continues to delight and astound me. The amount of hard work and concentration you put in is admirable. I have a suggestion re the cars: not all the cars in the 80s were from the 80s and there were still a few 60s and even 50s ones around. Might it be nice to see the odd Rover P4 or Triumph Herald still on the road?

Brilliant! Excellent work, most realistic, presentation.

Love the night shots - superb.

Another modelling master class Richard. Absolutely thrilled with your progress and the whole project keeps leaving me spellbound and craving the next instalment. Keep up the great work, your skill in taking the viewer right into the heart of your labour of love is reward itself.

I'm not going to lie Richard, that Passenger Station look's 100 times better with those Canopy's. I'm glad I thought of it ! 😁

Inspired work as per usual Richard , I notice Elton John , so that’s where he got the inspiration for “ Im Still Standing “ 😃😂

Your work and imagination is appreciated here in Ontario Canada. I always look forward to see where your mind is going next. Cheers, Dave

Such attention to detail is phenomenal, the level of realism you have been able to achieve is an art form in its self. It makes for hours of pleasurable noodling.

I resonate with this era. Loved the 80`s locos and the ugly/plain architecture. Top class layout.

Still the best looking layout on RU-vid and the level of effort into details is just epic. Always a good watch 😊

Blinking amazing man! Absolutely in awe of what you are creating...! Thank you for sharing it all with us. Used to love going to model railway shows when I was a boy with my dad. Happy memories!

Again love watching your video's. get lots of inspiration ( & idea's ) for mine. Just like watching the train's at end has a feel of a city

The amount of effort that goes into making a 30 minute video, 2 months at least. Very impressive. The attention to detail is so brilliant and love the superkings advert, oh and the pigeons. So much talent on display, electrics, camera work, painting, researching etc . Thank you. P.S. Just read the comments and the pigeons are an overwhelming success

It's a brilliant addition. The whole area has suddenly sprung into life, like coming out of lockdown. Love it. 😊

Location cabinets and bits of broken troughing at the bottom of the ramps and some trespass boards. So far so bloody good

As always explanations and the way you do things on your layout is always a privilege to watch as it grows Richard. It's amazing the more we do our layouts the better we get at producing better layouts and the way it all comes together. Thanks for an awesome update.

Amazing results once again. Thanks for sharing this incredible work of art!

Been waiting two years to see some pigeons - Excellent ! (17:56)

Love the detail. Those little touches make it look so realistic.

Richard, you've outdone yourself this time (yet again). It's so evocative of the times. I spent many an hour (or perhaps more accurately many, many minutes?) on NSE platforms in those years, and you've captured those commutes so well. Beautiful work, and especially the night scenes, particularly now as we approach the time of year when darkness so often accompanied my journey home. Wow. One missing detail perhaps, a very minor one? I'm fairly certain that some rubbish, a crumpled up wet sweatshirt, or perhaps the odd shoe, a magazine and a few tins would have made their way on to the top of the roof canopies from the flats above at the platform end? Love the pigeons too. I'm fairly sure there was a story about some pigeons that used to 'commute' on one of the west London lines into Paddington, or perhaps on the tube? I certainly have seen teh odd pigeon wandering onto a train as though intentionally? Happy days.

Gradually recreating the impersonal spaces of the era! Very well done! Regards, Stephen.

Absolutely BRILLIANT,, Give yourself loads of pats on the back ,You've done a Fantastic Job on the upgrade to the station,, your layout , Is Out Of This World 🌎 TALENTED

I love the time and place you are creating here 👍.

Looks great! Creates the illusion perfectly!

Great job making those separate sections of canopy look like one continuous piece of prefab! Can’t wait for the next one! Cheers!

So nice way to end the WE thank you so much ! Cheers from France.

The night time effects are amazing!

Such excellent work & detail! Amazing as always..

Captured the scene 100% Richard ! Thank you for your great video! 😊

Wonderfully atmospheric. Great job.

Love these updates - looks absolutely incredible - amazing model work. Very interesting update.

Hi Richard - a great transformation of the station and the figures and pigeons make it all the more realistic - thank you for the video - I always look forward to them.

Love your eye and attention to detail, really captures the feeling and mood so incredibly well. I think I can even smell it. Thank you for your videos and greetings from Berlin!

Just superb! Lighting in the footbridge really makes the scene. Very impressed as always.

That station bridge always reminds me of one of my worst days ever, when I had to rush twice on the stairs of the bridge of Bristol Parkway Station with two heavy suitcases and a backpack 💀.

Incredible! I've followed your channel since the original layout and the progress from then and now.....incredible! You make it look so easy.

At 18:46 I can see my local station on the London Southend line 😂. Brilliant detailing as always.

Attention to detail, amazing as ever

Great job. Like the canopies, they are very impressive and they are very similar to a lot of 70/80’s stations. A lot still exist I think. I like the way you think and express the area’s. Magic layout.

Fantastic work as always! The station looks so much better with all the details added and the canopy really helps with creating some nice shadows on the trains as they pass, especially in night time mode. Cheers

Your attention to detail is mind blowing, I cannot wait to see what you come up with next.

I liked the first train you ran through. It wasn't in sight, but the noise was there. To me, it sounded like you had added a soundtrack of an audience clapping, which I thought was a great idea, but then it turned into a train. Still good, though. Very informative, even for a T-gauger.

Great video as always, station looks outstanding. Given me the motivation to make some progress on my own layout, which hasn’t received much attention this month.

Great additions to your station Richard, one word comes to mind `realism`. Many thanks for sharing take care regards Barry..

It looks absolutely incredible, well done richard!

Great work 👍. The platform canopies really add a whole new visual dimension. The additional structures also change the acoustics when trains pass through the platforms.

You must be so proud of what you do. I am starting to feel reality isn’t as good as your layout. It makes you realise what you can achieve. So well done.. Each episode is just enthralling. Total excitement 😊

Great work and very effective, especially at night. The amount of detail certainly makes the scene and its definately one to emulate. Well done. Regards Steve

Fantastic layout! Thanks for your videos,!

Coming on really nicely now ,little bits here and there make it more realistic,well done ... Camborne central...

That platform furniture is excellent Richard. As you say, a bare platform simply doesn’t look right, and the judicious use of platform furniture gives it all the atmosphere it needs to create a realistic effect, something you seem to have got spot on, and it really enhances the excellent canopies 😎 Great work as ever mate 😎👍🍻💚

Really pleased to see the video, gutted to find out i had not hit the bell properly, you’re so inspiring

A sea of NSE loveliness! One of your screenshots made me think some half dead planters would look good
