Layout Update Spring 2022 - New station area, rebuilt track and new sidings
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 мар 2022
- I've been working on the layout almost every day since that last video. What started off as re-profiling the curves heading into the station turned into a huge project that took about 180 hours to complete. With everything now back up and running I'm really looking forward to getting some scenery done in the large area.
Hope you enjoy the new changes, cheers.

The main difference i notice from some other layouts is the smooth running of your track. No 'jiggly' coaches. Very impressive.
Same! He did a brilliant job rebuilding his layout!!!
And so true about other layouts! Whenever a carriage wobbles a little on a layout, that would translate to broken bones of all the passengers if scaled up to life size!
Erm, I don’t have wobbly track work 😆
@@DeanPark Just checked out your intro and subbed. Awesome layout and certainly no wobbles!
Thanks, it takes ages to get rid of all those tiny bumps. I use a steel rule across to tops of the rails to check for any bumps and dips in the track. Cheers
Hi. Great modelling. Where do you get the ceramic tiles from please? Why have you chosen cork over foam? Thanks.
Anyone would think you’re due a visitor! You’re working flat out 😆
Yeah, my evening is saved! Everard Junction videos are so relaxing.
All the best from Germany!

Richard...thanks for buying our sleeper spacer tool and glad it went some way to assisting what is most probably the most laborious task but as you rightly say, the end result is well worth it. I can't believe what you have also done on the layout in this space of time and looks flipping awesome.
Like many, look forward to the next update.
Regards
Steve @ Railway Laser Lines
Thanks Steve. I got through those straights at the station much faster thanks to the tool. Managed all 4 tracks over 2 weekends. The curves nearly finished me! Cheers
@@EverardJunction We do a 400mm long tool that does bend...lol. Oh well...the man done good!
What a great job you've done. So many impressive video shots! It really was worth all the hours you put in.
Regards
Steve
I've had a Bachmann IC livery Mk1 BG coach sat in a drawer for years that I only bought to sit on a diorama shelf I made. Genuine showroom miles. One owner from new. Future classic. If I'd have known you'd been after one I'd have reached out to you!
Your new sidings have my imagination going wild there, Richard. If you were to sacrifice them to the scenery gods, remove the center line and replace it with a platform, you could easily pass off that entire area as an old disused station; The original Everard from before the war and before the junction and new station were built in its place. The now head-shunt would have been the original single track line before the new main line was built to replace it. Leave the bridge section out, probably taken away to be melted down during the war, but put the supports in on the other side and you have the remains of a 'once upon a time' line. The flats even look like they were built in its place once an original viaduct was demolished. The rear wall of your viaduct would have been the front wall of the original. Brings a bit of history to the area.
I think that area is standing out to me because where I live we have loads of abandoned arched viaducts where the [Lancashire & Yorkshire] railway was taken away decades ago, now reclaimed by nature, but the viaducts remain as most of the arches have been converted in to shops. gyms, garages, etc. Please do have a look down Love Lane, Liverpool. Postcode L3 7DD on Google maps. It's quite the sight! It's exactly what I imagine your viaduct would look like from behind. There's even a narrowboat shell dumped down there on the road side. Goes well with your canal. There must be a local boat builders in Everard!
Keep it coming, Richard.
Take care. Mike.
Been finished 8 years now. Thought "Slough SCC" without even thinking about it. Haven't even seen it from that angle. Route knowledge never leaves you.
What is impressive about your work is that when you watch the trains running you know that you are seeing a model railway but it makes you forget that because of all the small details that take it that step further. Watching the progress of it being built is really interesting it is a joy to watch the trains running. The weathering on the trains and locos looks just right for what they are and only add to the illusion created with the scenery. Thank you for sharing the process and progress with us.
Not watched the video yet but will imagine this will be a great video. Happy watching everyone
Everard Junction returns - with an update on the station - delight! You are glutton for punishment with re-laying your track. But I am sure that it will look splendid when done.
Such a brave thing to do, ripping up a huge section of a perfectly good layout to redo it however can see why you did and the results are fantastic. Looking forward to seeing how you tackle the station area and what sort of building/s you go for now. Completely agree on the hunt couplings too, they really are a god send however they can be a bit brittle and some need to be glued in as you say, certainly a step in the right direction though. Cheers, Dave
Cheers Dave, glad you enjoyed it. I really like redoing bits around the layout. If those couplings were injection molded that would sort most of the issues. 3D printing isn't really meant for mass production of thousands of units.
One of the few ways to re experience my younger days and this period of BR which was very much my favourite and much missed.. the colours and variety as well as big tired diesel engines was awesome to live with and experience.
I loved the part of the video when you had the train going into the new siding tunnel under the main track as a train passed overhead. Incredibly effective and well thought out by you.
Very impressive, and I admire your honesty "Well, sod it ..." a very good starting point for some very interesting evolution. I'm looking forward to the next videos.
49 minutes of Everard Junction, fantastic!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊
A very wonderfull layout video, welcome back.
You have achieved such a lot in two months and all to your very high standards. Looks fab. Regards Stephen.
Didn’t think you could improve on perfection but up pops Richard at Everard Junction and breaks the mould yet again, absolutely brilliant update ! Thanks for sharing, cheers Darrell
OMG "Western Courier" is outstanding indeed!
A very bold and daunting task to tear up that much previous work. Has to be done sometimes in the quest for perfection. Difficult to accept comprises sometimes, they do end up gnawing at you eventually. Must be much happier with the result and worth the extra effort. As always, outstanding work!. Look forward to the next update.
Hi Richard. Really good update. Keep it up . Thanks
Super glad you changed the curved track looks super and the coaches with the new couplings which I have done on mine, adds to the real look of the carriages and wagons distance between the buffers.
Some of the terraced houses like these sometimes did not have very big gardens, especially if they became multi occupancy property, and then subsequently demolished as part of the so called slum clearance schemes of the nineteen sixties up to the beginning of the seventies, in London. I think the amount of space that you have allowed looks very realistic in proportion to the viaduct.
Thanks Alan. The houses are based on real properties in Brixton. I've got close the the size for the gardens now so should be able to pull off something realistic. Will be sorting that out over the summer. Cheers
Well Richard, you've put some real man hours into this, no wonder you've been "offline" for some time. So much work as usual and the results are there to see, it's going to look really impressive when it's all complete and weathered, I also admire you for the effort put in with the sleeper spacing and applying the "cant" to the track, it's going to look superb. Many thanks for sharing as always, you provide so much inspiration for others and explain things you've tried and done in lots of detail, cannot wait for the next instalment.
Your undivided attention to detail is undeniable. I really enjoy your work/pleasure.
Hurrah, thankyou!
What a huge amount of work!
Great update, lots of good stuff, worth the wait. I particularly admire your willingness to rip up and redo to improve things. Thanks and cheers from Wisconsin!
I love to adapt and improve as I go. Glad you enjoyed it, cheers.
Your channel is the only thing related to 80s era BR I enjoy, never been a favorite era of mine but your modelling makes it so appealing in a way I can't easily describe.
Hi Richard, Another superb production with some excellent content. The sweeping curves look very realistic. I always look forward to your video’s. Keep up the great work.
Cheers. Glad you enjoyed it
First, Happy belated Birthday! As always, your astounding attention to even almost invisible detail is beyond words. Take all the time you need to keep doing what you do so well. Waiting months for an update NEVER disappoints. Outstanding work, thank you.
I’ve massively fallen out of love with model railways for various reasons. Yours is the only channel I still watch because of just how good your layout, videos and stock are.
I love the new corner of the layout, it’s just a shame you couldn’t find a way to fit in the old carriage shed you built. I’d love to see it on the layout again some day.
Ah the carriage shed! I dismantled that some years ago now. Had good fun building it, perhaps I'll build something similar for a future layout. Cheers
try Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg, i know its German and inside the EU, but sometimes its worth to look beyond the horizon!
Just a 'Wow'...what an amazing job Richard, really opened up the look and feel of that curve and that whole area looks so much better for it. Got to say though that other than you're explanation about how the curve in its original state was & did look to you, on screen it looked 'good' as it was - just shows how much effort you put in, that on-screen it wasn't really noticeable, other than being a little tight for the siding but it still looked ok. As for respacing all those sleepers...respect for wanting to go through that again.
Cheers Chris. Its certainly hard to get across the changes on camera. In the flesh its far more obvious and I'm much happier with it now. I wont be respacing any sleepers for a while now, Id forgotten how horrible it is!
Superb Richard. Yeah, we were eager to see an update on the lay-out as well, but here we are. Blimey, we’ve always understood that you were really going to town but good heavens, redoing an entire section must have been eye wateringly challenging your diligence. Well, it certainly is paying off. Extraordinary.
A great way to unwind after an evening shift at work. Brilliant update and progress.
Thank you for this update. Superb work and attention to detail, as always!
Absolutely great video as usual, but just had to point out how great that platform surface looked! Never seen it modelled in that fashion and I think it came out brilliantly.
Thanks! I'm quite chuffed with it Ill be honest. A tutorial video for those is in the works. Cheers
Stunning detail and excellent photography enhanced by your scenic. Love the shots near both bridges.
You are so talented, it a pleasure to see a layout that doesn't look like a train set that I see so often at exhibitions
Going on to perfection. Very nice work as always.
Wow! ... Just wow! Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks. I appreciate the effort it takes to make these videos as there is life beyond RUclips. Very interesting to see how it is all developing.
To say you've been busy is an understatement! New platforms are superb. The paving slabs on the platform edge are a particular triumph. My eye was immediately drawn to the broken slab at the foot of the ramp. No idea if it was deliberate or purely accidental but it looks super realistic! Your layout updates always inspire me to do a bit on my own, so thanks again.
Very nice. Very busy. Well done.
Absolutely brilliant update love watching your channel 😀 👍
We leave you alone for 5 minutes and what do you do… rip up a chunk of your layout… again!! 🤣 Absolutely love your videos, Richard. I don’t have a train set, I just love your builds, skills and your no-nonsense attitude towards getting the layout that you want. Can’t wait for the next one 😁🚈 Lee
I looked at the layout the other day and noticed that not a single bit of scenery is even two years old! Love making improvements as I go, very rewarding. Cheers lee
I know it's a minor thing and not intentional but I love the random coach sat at the back of the curves. Reminds me of working at Peterborough next to the mainline and seeing all sorts of random coaches and wagons in the sidings
The improvements you have made are absolutely fantastic.
absolutely brilliant. I love your eye to detail. Keep up the amazing work bud. Can't wait for next video.
I thought it was kind of crazy what you were doing at first, but wow, the "mk 2" is SO much better. Totally worth going OCD on it. Nicely done indeed.
I love the three car Thumper.
YAH!!! Been looking forward to your latest update! Thank you for posting 😃👍
I admire the dedication and patience you have, so great to see the progress.
What an amazing lot of progress it really pays off
Very interesting Richard, video as usual up to a very high standard and what you’ve done is certainly very impressive, top marks to once again, thanks for sharing such a wonderful layout, geoff
Thanks Geoff, glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for uploading. Wonderful modelling, beautifully presented.
I'll save this for later viewing when there won't be anyone about to disturb my pleasure at the latest upload.
Edit
Well you've outdone yourself again. The attention to detail gives us mare mortals some hope.
Absolutely stunning. The results of your hard work is superb. 👏
Haven’t seen your upload yet, but i like the intro. The rest will be awsome.
Looks awesome, top marks. 👍👌
Great to see you back , wow what a difference it has made to you're amazing layout. The platforms look amazing, can't wait for the next video
Great update Richard!!! Just awesome! Cheers Onno.
Train spotters dream living in one if those apartments overlooking the track??..real life scenario of course!!..for anyone else they have to get used to the noise!!..fantastic set up reminds me of the childhood a,though yours is in a much larger scale..thks for sharing
Love your work
Awesome, great layout.
SOOOO KOOOOOLLLLL.
WOW , such a great train station .
Mike
Always look forward to a new video and you never disappoint in updates. The layout is coming along nicely.
Made my evening, always look foreword to one of you videos.
A inspirational hour well spent.
Many thanks for spending your time.
Terry
Awestruck Richard. Fantastic job. Well done Sir.
Fantastic, well done
Great update, I must say the Maroon Western looks fantastic with those coaches.
much better track work looks more convincing looking forward to see the station and new back boards. very entertaining video as well. I always enjoy watching your work and the dialog explaining your thinking behind the changes and additions you have made over the years, I hope the Granada is sill behaving itself!
I love it well done its just perfect !!
Just AMAZING!
looking really great love your videos entertaining and informative a real inspiration 👍
Excellent stuff and a good update. Some fantastic work and patience you have shown..Your work shows the results.
Look forward to the next update.
Many thanks.
Amazing as always! Your work & videos is a great source of information as well as inspiration for me, and I'm sure many other modellers; thanks for posting all your hard work, always enjoyable.
Welcome back.
Long time no see
Missed your great videos...
Your dedication to getting things RIGHT and making not only a realistic model representing something that may well have existed but also something entertaining and attractive.
Looking forward to more videos into the future - hopefully a little less time between them - as the work you do is always impressive and inspiring. Especially looking forward to more scenic areas and detail work. Those terraces, Units and backyards are going to be fascinating.
Next video is already in progress. Shouldn't be a two month wait this time! Cheers
Wow, This very good, I love your attention to detail, i can see thought went into every part on this layout. Keep up the good work!
Brilliant work! Thanks for the update, you've done a great job and it makes sense. The siding area provides a lot more scope as well.
As usuell awesome and most interesting. The small details are amazing! Thank‘s alot for the upload and greetings from germany
Looks great!
Evening Richard. Well that’s a turn up for the books a complete rebuild of part of the layout 👍🏻 What a transformation and when you’ve connected the siding and weathered the track it’ll be absolutely fantastic 🤩 That thumper trundling up and down was a great touch 👍🏻 Not only is this one of the very best layouts on RUclips you’ve now added in my eyes the best diesel hydraulic locomotive ever built the Western class 52 😀 I’m a midland man living in Manchester but i did see all the class 52s except 1058 Western Nobleman. Can’t wait for the episode already lol 😂 Take care cheers Stevie 😎
Bloody brilliant!!
A Fantastic update and the layout looks brilliant, its amazing how much space you can save when you move things about, look forward to all the following updates.
Great to see you back again, and what an update!! I do love the thought that you put in, you probably dont sleep much with the amount of thought.effort you put in!! :)
Inspiration abounds as usual. Really looking forward to the platform tutorial; the first one looks great.
Deeply impressive....I've missed your postings but by goodness the results are so worthwhile!
Great update. You have been busy. Looking forward to seeing your next update. Roy.
All the little tweaks are fantastic
Great job as ever Richard. I'm really impressed with how much more track you've managed to fit in such a small space. Love the IWAs, worth every penny with all the detail they've got on them. Keep up the great work as ever
Cheers
James
Excellent video Richard as always. I agree the Geogian terrace looks better now but also agree some houses around London are extremely close to the viaducts. I always liked looking down at the tiny spaces packed with junk, sculleries with broken windows, proper slums from the back but fairly respectable from the front. Keep up the great work Richard.
Very impressive, I’ve been following the channel for many years now and think you’ve done a great job so far
Mate love your videos been following your channel for 9 odd years now.Miss it when you dont put up regular videos been hanging out for two months but was well worth the wait thank you . Keep up the brilliant work
Good planning and good workmanship.
Looking brilliant the shots of the train's on the banking great also your new model's do look good especially the dapol western thankyou for the video
Longtime follower, first-time poster. Excellent update, the station area and sweeping curves are looking great! Thanks for having us along for the ride; looking forward to your next update. :)
Once again Richard another outstanding video your skills are first class. I say it all the time I’m a long time viewer been with you since your very first videos testing points saw the start and finish of your original layout and have watched every single video as far back as I can remember . I unfortunately don’t have that time / space to continue my own layout which I’ve now sold but you keep my passion alive ! I don’t comment enough but I had to give my two pence aha. Outstanding modelling and another outstanding video! Big fan Rich keep it going !
Great update thanks I particularly like the running it does show how nice and smooth you've got your track set now ....thunder is great too.....
I finally was able to start a hobby I've been interested in for some time (long story). Modifying RC vehicles. I thought that was a lot if work, until I see the huge amount of work you've put into this setup. Your results are just amazing! I love the details.
wow richard you cease to amaze me.great video and outstanding new work on the layout so so impressive my friend cheers mick
Hi Richard great to see you and your updates, looks like you've been busy, banked curves look the part thanks for sharing can't wait to see the next update please take care and remember to stay safe..
