New Layout Build - Ballasting
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 апр 2019
- Having had the track up and running for some time I now feel confident enough in its reliability to ballast it. In this video I ballast about 75% of the main & relief lines, add line side details and weather most of the ballasted areas.
I used Woodland Scenics & Hattons Constructor ballast for this job. You can find them at the links below...

I don't have a layout and have no intention of getting one but I love your videos. Your attention to detail is stunning and watching it all coming together is fascinating.
Ditto. Me words exactly
...and me. I've done a fair bit of plastic kit & R/C modelling, & just love watching Richard's vids because his general modelling skills & attention to detail are so good, & the results are pretty spectacular!
Cup of tea time. It's everard junction.
Having moved out to Spain four years ago, my small collection of Hornby rolling stock and track was tucked away, in the UK, in storage at my daughter’s house. Having watched your videos on construction of sidings and a refuelling yard, for your old layout and, now the new layout construction, I decided to have the small collection of models shipped over to me.
The last time the three locos ran was probably around 1986. None of them has had more than an hour or so of running. (BR 0-6-0 Class 3F No. 47556, LNER 4-6-2 No. 4476 ‘Royal Lancer’ & BR 2-10-0 No. 92220 ‘Evening Star’). DC was the order of the day then but, my trusty Hornby R912, refitted with a European plug, leapt into action and, all three locos ran well around a short oval, on the dining table. I’ll be investigating DCC conversions and then deciding on the best layout arrangement and suitable place to house it. Sadly, no loft here but, a rather nice 1 1/2 car garage!
Hope you and your Everard Junction followers didn’t mind me going a bit but, I guess you’re never to old to model!
Wow! The intro looks super real, great video 😀!
Excellent work, Richard. The short "test sections" to try different visual effects is a good example of the type of forward thinking that more of us should employ.
Great job Richard, the attention to detail is what makes your layout look so realistic. An inspiration to us mere mortals!
Just watched this for the 2nd time and it's so impressive already! When you are working on a relatively small area it's easy to forget that just down the track you have moving cars, a canal , a branch line, car auction place and many more things to come such as a station building! It's almost photorealistic (or should that be videorealistic ?!) and you haven't even started with the super fine details. I said some time ago it will be the best permanent model railway in the UK and I stand by that. It would be great to have a quick tour of the railway so you can let us all know where various things will be,or perhaps plans for certain areas, as I say it's easy to forget how large it is. Amazing work.
Astonishing level of detail. Great camera work and commentary etc. Just a joy to watch!
Fantastic job, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen model ballast as realistic as this. Can’t wait to see more.
You Sir,are a master of your craft,your attention to detail never ceases to amaze me.Excellent work as usual.
Having worked on the real thing for the last 30 years, I have to say, you've got those colours spot-on!!!
The train rakes are amazing and the container rake is my favourite, excellent update and progress as always
I'm surprised more people haven't seen this amazing work of Art!
This is absolutely superb! The weathering and realism to both the trains and the track is incredible.
Looks fantastic. I wish I had the space you have as well as your patience and skill.
Having worked on the railway as a signal engineer/ track man for well over 10 years. I can say your layout looks spot on
And you’ve done an excellent job on the ballast 👍
Looks superb Richard, just goes to show a bit of time spent looking at a few photo's can help transform a layout into a railway, Part of my former role at the Colne Valley Railway was S&T maintenance manager, which involved slapping track grease (a horrid black runny grease, which stained everything it landed on intentionally or not!) on the points sliding chairs where the blades slide. I hope I have remembered right, the 6' is the ballast edge/shoulder, 4' in between the two rails & cess was between the adjacent running line, if I'am slightly wrong on the later someone will correct me.
I've just been watching your old videos and I just saw this the progress is sensational, keep up the good work Billy
Once again, an example of mahoosive attention to detail & example of patience. Simply superb Model Railway Engineer.
Great stuff Richard, looking really good. Some of the shots looking along the track, post ballasting and weathering, look almost real. A superb job.
I love this, man. I bow to your superior modelling ability. You are a true craftsman.
None of this airbrushing was possible or mod rock when i had a big layout but that was way back in the 70's. It looks possibly better than the real life thing well done Richard
@Everard Junction, your attention to detail is absolutely incredible! I worked as a Vehicle Builder for BR Engineering Ltd at Wolverton for 10 years and watching your fabulous videos certainly brings back some wonderful memories ;) I don't have the space for a model layout but if I did I'd find your videos invaluable. There's a lot of good model builders on RUclips but nobody does it as well as you chap! Keep up the good work! ;)
Awaiting the next video with impatience. Congratulations, it's beautiful.
thoughtful planning and great attention to detail
Very well done, but all your work is great. I LOVE watching yours, David and Rob's video and workmanship... Thank you for all the pleasure you have given me ( and others ).....
Beautifully done Richard, and quite enjoyable to watch! Best, John
Enjoy seeing the different diesels and rolling stock, so very different then North America. Fun layout, heavy mixed traffic.
the little twist thing that holds the tracks down is called a E key or if you see bigger versions (usually on wooden sleepers) they are called 501s
Thanks for the info
@@EverardJunction its pronounced 5-(number) 0-(letter) 1-(number)s and you generally get those one around points (flat bottom rail), breathers and where the sleepers are wood going over foot tunnels, bridges, water catch pits etc.
The level of realism is quite astounding
25:30 They're called pandrel clips. On bullhead rail you will have chairs and keys. Great video
You truly have a knack for making things look quite natural! I never fair to be impressed with a before and after look at what you have accomplished! Looking forward to the next chapter!!
I think this is the most realistic ballasting/trackwork I've ever seen on a layout, I will have to try this method out, brilliant !!
Wow, now that is a nice collection of trains in a yard. Excellent. Love the layout and the videos. Keep up the good work.
Wow Richard once again you have amazed me with your layout and the great ideas you have, cant wait for the next vid, Cheers Craig👍.
You put a lot of work in on the details. At times I feel like stopping the train for a ride, so realistic you make it. Keep up the good work.
Perhaps in cab camera rides.
After watching you dry that ballast in the oven I really fancy some apple crumble!
Seriously great video. I really admire your craftmanship, attention to detail and patience. And it's the same with your editing skills.
Good job as always Richard. I've added mud and dirt in my WWI layout ballast.
Super bit of ballesting there, luv the weathered rails, looks very life like.
I love watching these. Thanks for sharing.
Great looking colour effects!
Hi Richard, I enjoy watching your layout updates, brilliant detail, great work, you are a master craftsman, your layout is coming along great and I look forward to your next video. I hope you had a nice Easter, take care, kind regards Gary, Perth Western Australia.
Thanks Gary, more videos on the way!
Ho hum! Just another ballasting video. NO - not when Richard is involved! Very interesting and informative and a great final (for now) effect. Cheers
very lovely ounce again man I just love seeing and watching you work on your amazing layout
A great video and you have the feel for the era spot on, the shot with the class 47 and train aginst the trackbed had the grime just right and your techniques have given me plenty to think about for my loft layout, keep up the good work its an inspiration
Awesome work Richard, it is looking so good already!
Always enjoy your videos Richard, thanks for posting this one on ballasting your layout. Cheers Greg
Superb video as always Richard. These videos are very educational as well as enjoyable...After 60 years modelling I am still learning all the time!!!! Cheers, Bob
Very nice, I look forward to seeing more.
Great work. A genuine masterclass.
Superb modelling, both me and the Mrs enjoy watching your videos
Looks brilliant Richard - really worth the extra effort with the ballast colours. Can't wait to see what's next! Rich
It's looking incredible
Another marvelous piece of work. Just what we have come to expect from you. No need to say "Keep up the great work" as you always do!!!! Cheers
Great informative video as always Richard thanks.
Jesus Richard that is some incredible realism. So worth your hard effort, hats off to you sir!
Truly a work of art, well done its superb!
Great job, looking forward to the next update........
What a transformation! This is one area of mine I'm really looking forward to doing.. I've trawled through the net at so many images of the track at Exeter and Laira to get the right tones. Light weathering right through to thick oil,. Can't wait 😅
Very enjoyable video, the ballast and weathering are wonderful
Hi I've I just want to rip my track up and start again. I'm so impressed by your layout and the skills you have. Thanks for great Video and plenty of ideas. Pete
Excellent video! the contrast in weathering is really effective!
Excellent intro! A lot of the shots I could swear were of the real thing! Ballasting will be one of the last things to do when I get around to doing my track detailing. The sample piece with the tracks and different colours I particularly liked looking. Great video as always. All the best Clint
You’ve done an excellent job mate. It looks very realistic.
Excellent and very informative videos. Thanks for taking the time to share. Always wanted to learn the fine details.
Hey man, your track work and weathering is always so beautiful. They are the main scenic item and they tie all the other scenery effects together. Many layouts it is the other way around. Yours always looks like it BELONGS together. Great effect. Been watching in Australia for years - well done!
looks really really really fantastic and the effort you put in to your layout is mind blowing :)
This great, well done! You really made it look organic and thought about how the track is used, not just made it up from your imagination or memory.
Fantastic video as always, but the best I have ever seen on ballasting. Inspirational as always, thank you Richard.
The track weathering looks excellent. One of the best I have seen. I am pleased to see you got your point machines placed correctly and added more locations. Looks like there are enough to work the junction now. In some places the inner rail gets a lot more oil spill than the outer on sharp curves because fuel has poured out of locos due to the track cant. Also at a signal where trains often stand the track is generally darker. The sleepers could of been left covered on the ends as you have seen in your photos. They are often left like that on curves to reduce the chance of a track buckle, so not always because the ballast has been topped up. I like the sound of the trains going over joints. Very realistic My own layout has some wide rail gaps as well for that reason.
Hello, I saw in another ballisting video that this guy used a vibrating hand sander under the table and the ballast just sank right into place. Even in the middle of the rails. Looked really good.
Looks excellent. Super elevation on the curves is well done and realistic.
Fantastic videos Richard really inspirational. Please keep up the great work thank you so much.
Great DJ and the Rembrandt of weathering effects and the Da vinci of sculpting and design.
Wonderful way to while away the hours! Always enjoyable to see good editing as well, please keep them coming, thanks for sharing your creativity and talent.
The layout looks amazing Richard looking really good now you have ballest and weathered the track cannot wait to what is coming next keep up with the great work
It’s surprisingly impressive how much of a difference painting the sides of the rails makes to the effect!
True, and it's so quick and easy to do. I've seen otherwise excellent and highly detailed model railways where the builder hasn't "rusted" the rails.
Fantastic Richard I have been watching your videos for ages now, the layout looks stunning hope mine can look half as good. I have got into the hobby just by watching your layout grow.
Great work, always enjoy your videos.
love the videos, it's better than watching Netflix - I don't currently have a layout but your videos are constantly tempting me to unpack all of my LNER collection I had when I was at school in the 1980s, and start building a layout - need to earn & bank a few more brownie points with my wife first though - thanks so much for the entertainment & education, the detail is stunning
An amazing job you have done it looks so real it's crazy just a fantastic layout.
Things really are progressing well mate. Enjoyable to watch as always.
This was brilliant! Really enjoyed watching this,. At some point I hope to build a model layout and this will really come in handy on guiding me on how to do the ballast on my tracks thanks for posting it.
Awesome Richerd, as always!!!! Cheers Onno.
superb, love it....looks very real!
As a train driver you’ve weathered the track absolutely perfectly it’s exquisite
Thanks. If it's good enough for a driver its good enough for me!
Hugely useful and informative as always, your videos are very enjoyable and inspirational; keep up the great work!
Great idea to wash the dust off the ballast. Really brings out the color and angles of the stone.
That looks fantastic 😊
I really like the realistic look you achieved......Well worth the time and effort!
Morning Richard. Just watched your latest video and what a credit it to your hard work 👍🏻 The spring clip us called a (Pandrol) 😃 Love that the relay box had fallen over while ballasting your track lol 😆 Then you removed them 😆 Great work and keep the updates coming. Thanks Stevie 😎
Richard it is looking amazing mate. Then re spaced sleepers look super realistic when ballasted.
Fantastic as usual, I wasn't convinced on the big differences in the ballast before the weathering but a great result.
On my test layout I used a mix of Woodland scenics mixed grey and added more or less cinders to the mix to get a varied result.
and relied on the weathering to get some brown tones in there, but you've convinced me to go and buy myself some brown ballast to add to the mix
for my new test layout.
I hope I can get mine looking half as good as yours does.
Relay boxes? Lol, Location Cabinets, or Locs as general term, but then I’ve worked for the S&T for 30 odd years now in South Wales, lol, probably called different terms throughout the country. need to add a bit of sleeper grime on the rail side of the staging and locs too,absolutely fantastic video again love watching brilliant work, maybe you could get someone to 3d print a grease pot for you?
The only thing your missing are the tags on the electric boxes. Those will need to be black or blue and the era of this that the tags you would have seen (and are still at large today) would have been, "Cosa" Take" Teach" Zonk" Fume" and make certain to add their crew in, "DDS" just filthy looking tags on the electric boxes will go perfect then obviously you can do the dubs and pieces on the main walls later on. Great video as always mate, keep up the good work.
Remarkable realism.
Excellent weathering very very convincing
Ace. Impressed beyond belief
respect fella, you have the patience of a saint lol, superb layout, detailing fantastic
Excellent video Richard I liked the different colour tones with varied ballast shades, makes a big difference. Thanks for the open day shout out, look forward to seeing you then. Andy
Cheers Andy, see you at the open day.
Incredible skills. Cheers.
