Hi Richard, even though I'm fully up to date with how much progress you've made and how much fun you're having on the new garage layout, I still couldn't help feeling a sadness for you whilst watching you tear up all those years of hard work. I feel like I've gone on a journey with you and have really enjoyed it along the way and continue to do so, I've just been about 3 or 4 years behind! Keep up the good work! 👍🏻
Many thanks Adam, it's the great part about RUclips, like a visual diary. 😊
Hi Richard, great news that you've acquired a better location for the new layout. It's always sad to rip up many hours of work but I'm sure the new version will be so much better.
I was sad to see my layout, Canning Parkway, getting demolished but these things happen.
During the build of your new layout, I think a lot of your subscribers would welcome the opportunity to get involved , sharing their ideas with your proposed plans.
My suggestion would be to definitely build 2 layers(as you have the space) with a terminus station accessed via a complicated set of pointwork( like Newcastle).
Don't forget, custom pointwork is available to give the layout a unique look.
Very much looking forward to following the new build and wishing you the best of luck.
Cheers, Daz.
Thanks Daz, that sounds like a good option!
As someone who has taken up 4 layouts I can tell you it feels great to start a new one and correct your mistakes.
It always feels like you have a clean slate and this is going to be the best layout ever. I look forward to joining you
on your journey. I'll be watching from Maryland across the pond in the colonies. And i'm sure you will have many
great videos for us to watch. Good luck, waiting for the next update.
And It'll be great to have you along Vincent!
New junction is dead, long live New Junction. A superb and poignant end to what has become a household name within the RUclips world. The best of luck with starting the new build and I look forward to its progress from the ground up. Paul
I thoroughly recommend sealing and painting the floor as untreated concrete floor are an endless source of dust.
On it, many thanks Rob!
Maybe polystyrene sheet and board it too , if anything drops onto concrete its a gonna,besides we'll still have a creaking or too for filming !! Lol all the best
I would even go as far as covering the whole floor with laminateboards. Easy to do, cheap and looks really great when done.
Rising damp too specially if plastic wasnt used under the concrete
Hi Richard, looking forward to the new, New Junction layout. Will be watching with great interest.
Thanks Raymond!
That really was a sad ending, followed your progress almost from day 1. To see the layout in person, truly amazing. Thank you!
Can't wait to see what comes next, a double garage! Space will be superb.
You'll be sick of the sight of it after you've professionally weathered everything for me! 🤣
Just wanted to say this has been one of the best presented videos ever, and thanks very much for the 50 at 4:55!
I totally agree. This is broadcast standard production.
I love the scene of the A4 "DoC" departing and the Class 50 046 throttling out of the station. Some fine Sound editing there!
cant wait to see your new layout and get back into the scene after a long illness and operation but now iam back to comment on your lovely railway and the way you present the show just the best in my book all the best john from rugby.
Thanks John, I'm glad to hear your back and able to watch! Hope the recovery wasnt too long. 👍🏻
Never a good feeling having to tear down your hard work Richard, but at least you get to start over again (I didn't have that option). Looking forward to see what design you come up with.
Hi Richard, this video is one of your very best and it's hard to say that considering that ALL of them have been superb, but this one gets the Oscar based on the opening alone.
I was telling a fellow railroad/model railroading enthusiast that I loved the one steam locomotive that I had during my N gauge years from age seven until age seventeen when I dropped out of the hobby for thirty-seven years pursuing other interests as where I was born and raised wasn't a boring place with nothing else to do, so NYC captured my attention then marriage and raising my son continued my absence from the hobby as it never dawned on me to resume the hobby WITH my son.
Anyway, I was telling my fellow enthusiast that since returning to the hobby in 2011 in HO and O scales, I still hadn't bought a steam locomotive despite that I'd been very interested in the Union Pacific Big Boy. Well after getting into OO gauge in 2015, and my desire to increase my fleet, with this video I saw exactly what I wanted in steam, that gorgeous steam locomotive in the very beginning. Could you please tell me what it is and is it made by Hornby?
What were the dimensions of the layout just dismantled and what will the dimensions of the new layout be? Also are you moving into a different residence or have you decided not to continue using your loft and decided to build a new layout in your garage?
Either way, all of the very best to you in the construction of your new layout and THANK YOU for wonderful model railway memories!
I've moved home and am now using the garage. I've got from a 17ft x 9ft loft to a 17ft x 16ft garage.
The engine at the start was a Hornby A4 👍🏻
Thank you for the black and white steam session most appreciated for those of us who are modelling that era.
You're very welcome and loads more to come!
Brilliant video Richard!! It’s a strange feeling seeing the end of a great layout met with the start of what I’m sure will be a fabulous new layout, really looking forward to joining you on the journey of the new build! Cheers Geoff
Well done Richard in finding a new railway room. That garage will give you so much more scope and help you run 8-coach HSTs that feel like they're going somewhere.
This Covid-19 is an excellent time to get on with a layout before the summer comes 👍
Good luck with the new layout Richard. Always sad to see a layout go but soo exciting to have a new start and I for one was soo excited when you said how big the garage was, all those ideas to make reality! Exciting times ahead x
Thanks Michelle! Cant wait to get going, hope your both keeping well!
Fantastic video as ever. Never an easy job to dismantle a layout all the years of graft gone in an afternoon. I had to do the same when my parents moved , but never rebuilt it. Now thanks to yourself , Richard from Everard Junction and Dave's Dean park station videos I have been inspired to not only build a new layout but catch up with the technology with dcc . Many congratulations on your new job with Hornby Magazine- I recognised that face!- and new house and look forward to see what you do with NEW junction (cant keep calling it new new) , from design upwards , cant wait . Keep safe cheers Martin ...... p.s film everything were nosey
Ha everything will be filmed, thanks for the kind words!
Beautiful. Very beautiful layout. This has obviously been built with love and care and has been home to many trains I’ve Rt he years. I love it.
Thanks!
Awesome stuff to watch. Gives the station a feel on how it looked when steam was king. Putting the layout in the shed is brilliant. Looking forward to the upcoming content. It’s going to be amazing. Can’t wait! Clint
Thanks Clint, I hope I can do it justice!
As an old chapter closes a new one starts all the best for the new one . And really hope it is as good as the old one. Thanks for the adventures on look forward to the next one
Thanks Andrew, fingers crossed for the new one
Well done, sir! I'm astonished at the realistic manner in which your steam locomotives start up: that slow 'build-up', instead of the usual electric 'jolt' to full speed. Fabulous work; and thank you for sharing it with us in lockdown!
Your very welcome Mark!
Hi Richard, you are embarking on a new challenge with the opportunity to create a brand new layout, so I wish you every success. One huge advantage is not having to duck and weave around those roof supports. I will very much look forward to following your progress as you create New Junction version 2 Cheers Greg
Thanks Greg! Your not wrong, I didnt half bash my head haha
Good to see your new layout home - the garage looks like it will be a lot easier to work in. I guess it’s bigger too. Super video of the life and times of New Junction, thanks for posting.
Thanks Mark!
Hello from Greece 🇬🇷! Amazing work and it's very sad 😔 to sad to say goodbye to old layout! I will be waiting for the new episode!
Best of luck with the new project Richard, sad to see the old layout go but excited to see whats instore for NNJ and expanding your skills in the hobby. We did breifly speak at Lincoln's model railway show last month after you were trapped by those two older gentleman. Your doggo is awesome, all the best.
Thanks Ryan, I remember haha the perils of a show! Catch you again soon if this lock down ever ends!
That garage is bloody huge!!! Excellent blank canvas to start over 👍
Loads of room to pin down my ideas in! 😉
Bev & I wish you & your family all the very best in your new home 👍
Thanks both, very kind of you!
just watched it and its made me quite sad seeing it go. This was the first layout i started watching on here when i finally got back into the hobby. look forward to seeing the updates on the new layout
Used to love model railways as a boy, grew out of it... far too busy nowadays with work and family commitments! But I still subscribe to a few model railway channels including yours... it's been a pleasure watching your layout progress over the last few years... you may not be the best in certain areas, but what your channel brings is a warmth, a really friendly and welcoming feeling, you relate to modellers of all ages! Thank you for the videos, I hope to see how you get on in the future! :)
From my experience of having a layout in a garage very similar to yours, I'd recommend 1) insulating the walls, 2) bricking up behind the garage door (garage doors aren't a good seal! We ended up bricking up the garage door entirely, and just remounting it on the outside of the new wall, so it looked like a garage, not a bunker), 3) getting some oil filled thermostatic radiators that you can leave on low through the winter. 4) using offcuts of carpet on the floor - it's a railway room, so it doesn't need to be perfect - it absorbs a bit when you drop something, but more importantly helps your knees when you're crawling around underneath the layout.
I look forward to watching the new layout build.
Thanks Andrew!
I agree... I know there is a cost involved, but spending a little now to fix stud work to the walls, fill it with insulation and then line it with plywood, and then make a low profile floor laid over a damp proof liner and insulated will save damage to the layout caused through dampness.
@@MalcolmCrabbe Any tips on how to keep garages warm and free of damp, .e.g, mould, etc that may damage a layout ?
All the best. Looking forward to the progress of the new layout.
Thanks Simon!
Your dog is adorable, she watches your every move, she LOVES YOU!
Shes my baby replacement 🤣
Great video! Looking forward to seeing what you do with the new layout!
Good luck with the move Richard and all the best for the new layout.
cheers Nic
Thanks Nic
Thank-you. Very best wishes for your next steps, next tracks.
Cant wait, thanks John!
next to model railway videos we've now got some handyman videos on here! fantastic. really enjoyed watching it. Seems like a nice place you've got there, enjoy it.
Well done I sure admire your perseverance.
Best of luck with the new build Richard! Already looking forward to seeing the progress. It’s been a pleasure watching you build this layout and of course the running sessions! Onward to bigger and better things! Keep them videos coming
Thanks Josh!
The end of video was like a American tv show! can't wait for the new layout
Hi Richard - I am looking forward to seeing the new New Junction progressing . A couple of things I found worked well in using the garage is painting the walls , good lighting and plenty of sockets which you have. Also I put down simple rubber type floor tiles that also kept the dust down and made it more homely. Two things I swear by, Henry The Hoover and a small oil filled radiator which I keep on all the time as it keeps the garage frost free .
Keep Well...……...…………………..Cheers Kev
I would never be without my Henry lol
So excited for the new NEW JUNCTION!! can’t wait to see the progress Richard and thanks for the uplifting presentation, the added sound just made it so good, all the best for the new build cheers Darrell
Your pup makes it all worthwhile.
I have been, watching this channel, from the very start.
Your videos always inspired me, to create a model railway layout, and one thing that I always wanted to make on the layout, is a heritage line.
And when I watched your mini series of building a heritage line , I got really inspired by all of the things that you added to build the heritage line up and so many of your ideas went into my layout aswell.
Now it is a really sad and a big shame to see it all go, but I hope that the new ‘new junction’ will be bigger and better.
Please keep the level of your creativity high, in making the new ‘new junction’
Thankyou.
Thanks pal, I will and you'll be glad to know my heritage line will play a bigger part in the new layout! 😉
Looking forward to your progress Richard.
Thanks Paul!
Sad to see New Junction come to an end after all the hard work you have put in, good luck with your new build.
Thanks! Cant wait to start
Very interesting ,,, many thanks Bruno, Greetings from France
Thanks Bruno
My only suggestion is to tackle the ceiling now, saves falling through the layout later
Yep that's true!
Agree, plus if you do the ceiling now you’ll have plenty of off cuts of celotex to use for making scenery
Richard I want to send my best wishes for your move and your future we will miss you dearly, me and my daughters have thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos, good luck my friend
Ha I'm not going anywhere, just moved house!
Bugger! Late again, I'm watching from the beginning and your dog is a sweetheart. Leaving the old set up must be sad but I'm really looking forward to seeing your new layout Richard, Great music too by the way.
End of a great layout and im very happy that i got to visit the layout. looking forward to the new layout
Thanks Matt, you were the FIRST celebrity visitor haha we'll take pictures next time!
Best of luck with the new New Junction. It was nice to see New Junction running the different eras of stock.
Glad you noticed!
@@NewJunction I was expecting some disco music for the 1970s lol.
I think you're missing a trick with the garage. It's much improved painted, but you could take it to the next level: stud out the walls, insulate with celotex and put up plasterboard and skirting board. For flooring look at carpet tiles - if you drop paint all over one no bother, rip it up and drop in a new one. Make it more of a cosy room?
I think you will definitely need to seal that floor or you will always have cement dust messing things up. I heard you say damp garage! In that case you will need insulate those walls as well as the roof. Good luck with whatever you decide Richard. It's a brave new world, in more ways than you can have imagined when you decided to move. Stay safe.
What a great video Richard very much enjoyed. Thank you and very much look forward to the New Junction.
Thanks Roy, glad you enjoyed it!
Omg so emotional right now. What a fab layout and I look forward for the journey of new new junction!
Thanks!
Hi Richard, interesting video, just a tip from a Health & Safety guy, don't open tins with a screwdriver, as a driver through your hand is very unpleasant, use a lid lever, cheap as chips, and no blood if they slip off !!, Cheers mate, all the best with the new layout room.
Thanks John, wouldn't even have occured to me that! Cheers chap!
So looking forward to the new New Junction! The new space looks fantastic.
Thanks Nick!
without a doubt one of the best videos ever true its kinda sad seeing years of work getting taken down but knowing it's gonna be bigger and better in it's new home helps cant wait to see how progress goes keep safe mate
That was the idea, can't wait to get going!
Good luck with the rebuild of New junction I’ve remember when I first started building my first layout PRT Trains it just didn’t work, so I rebuilt my new layout St Micheal’s Junction,
Thanks! Here's to the future
Good luck with the NEW New Junction. Looking forward to the progress
Thanks Bob!
Amazing Layout.. LUV the details.. you are extremely talented, and I can see that you’ll have success rebuilding your new layout.
Congrats on the new place for New Junction. Looking forward to the videos of the new build. Please be safe and thanks for sharing. Ken
Thanks Ken! 👍🏻
Richard, I liked the opening music and commentary. Good luck with the move.9F's great. The garage looks really good.
Thanks Nigel!
Sad to see New Junction becoming all but a memory though the videos and techniques live on. Here's to the next layout, the new, New Junction. Looking forward to seeing how it pans out in the garage and having the potential for multi-level working. All the best Richard, take it easy mate.
Jordan
This looks and sounds like it is going to be awesome!
Thanks, fingers crossed
Good luck with the new build, and have fun!
Always do, lots of messy modelling ahead
A very poignant video Richard! It was a great pleasure to come and visit New Junction - and now we're both on the garage layout trail. I really look forward to seeing the new layout progress! All the best mate, hope you and the boss are safe and well!
Thanks pal, following your lead & your very welcome to the new place too!
Great news and good luck with your new project! Looking forward.
Black and white and the clicking of the camera shutter, nice touch.
Sad to see the old New Junction go but can’t wait to see what the new layout will look like and you’ll have plenty of memories to build with the one! Great video Richard yet again!
Thanks chap!
Hope it all goes well. Very best of luck. 👍🏻
Thanks Jake!
Well done Richard, good luck on New New Junction...👍
Thanks David!
What a lot of work - it’ll be worth it though. Look forward to following the progress in the new setting. Stay safe and thanks for sharing.
Thanks Alex!
Will miss new junction ☹️ but bring on the new new junction 😁 will be waching every step.
Those low angle shots are amazing I am almost there as I used to be when I were a lad. I know this was some time ago so I also know you are now set up in the garage proper or nearly anyway on your last video. Great to see how it all started though.
With going to a garage its worth putting the time into seal the draft around the big door and insulate it before you start building the layout. Vapour barrier(thin plastic sheet some Rockwool or fibre glass and a bit of plywood to make it look pretty. Seems costly when youve just moving house but it will make it a much more plesent place to model especially in the winter! Plenty of youtube DIY videos on how to do full conversions!
Thanks Jimmy!
That new space looks bloody fantastic. So excited for you pal!
Thanks pal!
Exciting times ahead,
Stay safe mate.
Cheers from downunder!!
Thanks Damien!
Sad to see the old layout go Richard, but excited to see your new creation. Exciting stuff!
Hi Richard, have been watching from afar but going to be so interested in watching the progress. I have but mine within the garage, after watching an researching i did build a special room. As the temperature changes were going to be extreme. So insulated walls, and ceiling, wood flooring after sealing the floor and using insulation under the floor. This way the room holds 12 deg in the winter and 18 in the summer. Humidity and damp are not an issue so no rusting or building warping.
Just think with such a setup and your attention to build you might want to batten the walls and insulate better now than latrr plus the ceiling and maybe a suspended floor, you can run your wiring under the floor or through the battens on the walls.
Well as I said good look and cannot wait for the up coming videos.
Ian
Thanks Ian!
Oh gosh your doggy is such a sweetie Richard :-) I'm sure that garage will transform into a lovely layout room, nice natural light and good ceiling height it seems - hope it's dry as well! Cheers Joachim
This is exiting mate. I'm liking the effort you are going to, to get the area ready first before you start. Nothing worse than committing to a new project only to have the surrounding area let it down. Really looking forward to what the next update brings.
Thanks! Loads to come
R.I.P New Junction...
Hello New New Junction
Can't wait...
Hi Richard, just catching up with everyone. Started my furlough period today so got the time now after a terbulant few weeks. I bet it was a bit heartbreaking to dismantle the layout but a new chapter begins. Great to have a good size space for the new project. I,m in the process of building an outhouse about the same size so will be looking out for a few tips for the interior as you go along. I wish my K9 would sit as quiet as that when I'm working, he normally runs off with my tools lol. Hope everyone is well with you. Stay safe Marra, regards Bobby 'T'.
This video made me sad all your hard work gone 😪 well can't wait for the start of the new layout.
Never knew 60 minute makeover had a new host Richard 😂. But what a sad day seeing the end of new junction, heres to the new version. Great video as always Richard and very well put together going through all the eras on your layout. Now we are all in self quarantine you'll be able to get plenty of progress done on new new junction 😉. Look forward to seeing the new versions progress once time permits. Best wishes and stay safe
James
Good luck with the new layout, its the end of an era yet the beginning of a new world (in OO scale anyway).
Cant wait, thanks pal
Best of luck for the new layout! Looks a great space. Sorry to see New Junction pulled up (and cracking song choice!) but I bet the new one will be even better.
Thanks Tom
Good to see you've found a bigger space for the layout. Opens up more opportunities with what you can do with it. Sad to see the old layout go, but onto to bigger and better things!
Thanks, let's hope so hehe
I was aghast when this happened!! Watched you through your sometimes painstaking events building such a wonderful layout, however I shall be right here watching your knowledge & expertise with you building your larger New Junction (ii) layout in the making ;-) Thoroughly enjoy every minute. Take care out there Richard, and hope all goes smoothly with your move. Iain
Thanks Iain, more painfull videos to come haha
What a treat! The B&W footage was priceless.
Thanks!
@@NewJunction Good luck with the 'move'.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, always wear the best mask you can get, as a career builder of 57 yrs of age it did in fact come as a surprise to me when 3 months ago the Doc told me I had Polyonomy fibroses. I know, lucky me, but when I started my trade if you asked for PPE you were unlikely to be picked up again.
Sorry to see the layout go Richard. But a bit of advice with the garage layout is to paint the floor or fit carpet tiles and also cut a long strip of carpet fold it along it's length and pop riveter underneath the bottom face of the garage door (folded edge facing the outside). I did all this for my garage when I had motorbikes in there to keep the dust down
Top tip, thanks!
I will be missing your old layout you and that old layout got me into the trans and the hobbie. Can't wait to see you new layout. RIP Old new junction 😭😭
Brilliant video Richard. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the new layout 👍
Very nice UK layout. Good luck.
Thanks chap!
Sadly all good things must come to an end. But it’s time for a new beginning and a new layout
Yep can't wait
Hi Richard Brilliant video as always
All the Very best with the new New Junction 2 things I would sort the ceiling and may be paint the floor well worth it now and not regret later
Keep well Pat
Thanks Pat, top tip!
@@NewJunction I am a electrician so if you need any help with mains sockets ect just ask
pat
Richard, thank you for bringing us all of the action from the old New Junction (is that a contradiction?). I'm looking forward to what you can do with your new space in the garage.
I was hit by a pang of sadness watching you rip up your layout, as I'm sure you were. Richard at Everard Junction and you were two of the first channels I found when I was thinking about getting back into the hobby after 10+ years a few years ago. While Everard Junction presented something of an aspirational goal in skill I was drawn to your channel and your layout because it all seemed very accessible. You have always been willing to admit when something isn't your favorite or when it's not your strong suit but you are willing to walk through how you work around it or improve your skills in a certain area. Your approach to modeling has helped me overcome many speed bumps in building my current layout so I want to say thank you.
Best of luck on the new layout, I know I can't wait to see what you do next!
-Charlie
Wow thanks Charlie! That's the idea, enjoy having a go or making a big mess haha
Good luck with your new layout.
Thanks pal
Looking forward to the new beginning, really enjoyed watching the old layout grow and come to life and have every confidence the new layout will be even better. Just started a new layout myself albeit on a much smaller scale, 8ft by 18 inch.
Thanks wayne, you should film your progress 👍🏻
