  • Been a while since the last video but for good reason. I've been busy where possible on the layout catching up with lots of unfinished projects. I also made some significant changes to the branch line. The branch line job took far longer than I anticipated but I'm pleased to have taken that decision. Much happier with how the layout is looking now and look forward to progressing with more scenery over the coming months.

    Everytime I hear "I've changed the branch line" a part of my dies as its my favourite part of the layout.
    Then I see what you have done and agree with every single word you say, and the "new improved" branch line becomes my new favourite part!

    This is like watching Grand Designs after fitting a flat packed kitchen - its good for humility! Fortunately, the work of a craftsman can be admired by someone with basic skills, even if they can't replicate it. This layout is stretching the boundaries of what can be achieved and is a pleasure to watch.

  • @nerdydbf
    @nerdydbf Год назад +1

    I think what is most impressive is your ability to evolve the scene in line with your vision and skillset. You aren't afraid to reconfigure and repurpose previous work that cost you a lot of manhours as you know it will serve the layout better in the long run. A very commendable and inspiring attitude towards any project!

    The new cutting for the branch line looks so much better. I really like that you've raised the opposite side to match the height of the main line. It shows you're not afraid to rip up hours of work to make something better. Fantastic stuff.

    Nice to see another update. Some great changes done to that branch line, made a huge difference! Tankers are a pain to paint and to get that look spot on.. I've got it covered in a recent silver bullet video, features how to create that heavy brown dirt effect that those and many other pieces of rolling had coated on them. Could be a good pointer when you come to do the ferry vans.

    All I can say is “Stunning” I am a very new joiner to this world after many years of static modelling, 12th and 24th scale car building and war hammer figures! I haven’t read all of the comments on all of the Everard videos, but one thing that also adds to the videos, for me anyway, is the totally modest, while remaining so professional voice of Everard! You could do voiceovers for books! I could listen all day! As for the layouts, engine work, scenery, it is all just fantasmagorical sir! Hats off to the Hornby series!….. Let’s have an Everard Junction TV series too….. Please!….👏👏👏👏

  • @darrenhillman8396
    @darrenhillman8396 2 года назад

    Great to see a new update from you, Richard.
    Really like what you have sone with the branch line - looks a lot more realistic now. The addition of a juice rail (with section gaps, track isolation switches, traction return cables, (maybe even a substation…?) will be the icing and the candles on the cake!
    I worked on the railway (S&T Engineering) between 1977 and 2018 and have to say that yours and Mr Watsons (Dean Park) layouts are the pinnacle for “modern image” as regards getting the detail in place and then getting it right.
    Really enjoy watching the model progress.
    The new locos are a treat to the eyes, particularly the 47 and the 60. Pleased that you haven’t gone overboard with the weathering and have kept it subtle.
    But the dmu’s and that lovely 2-EPB are also worthy of comment. They really do look the part. As does the container train and stone wagons.
    I used to have a model railway many years ago (N gauge, 1969 - 1974 Western Region) but that is all packed away in the loft and is unlikely to see light of day until it gets sold off - other interests and life have got in its way, as they do. But, if I did have a layout, I would be happy if it was to the same standard as yours.
    Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next update!
    Best wishes from the Wirral.
