Its amazing what you can do to bring a model railway to life, and this what makes your layout so fascinating Dave. Well thought out and executed as always, we are blessed with the choice of products available scenic wise. Blessed too with people like you taking the trouble to demonstrate, what to use ,techniques and raw materials you can utilise. Dean Park is a labour of love and we all love to see you labour Dave ...Great job Sir.
Wow! A great transformation Dave and another excellent, very enjoyable video!
Certainly adds a new dimension of realism to the layout. Nicely done!
That makes for some fabulous photos and videos
Wow...tremendous work and skill involved...how fantastic are these awesome layouts !
Excellent, looking great in the gardens 👍
Great stuff, very enjoyable update.
Absolutely stunning Dave, it's made a big difference to that part of the layout, giving it considerable depth, and a great deal of visual interest. All done to perfection with your amazing attention to detail....Bob
Just beautiful Dave, and what the station area has been waiting for. Very nice use of the varied trees and shrubs.
I was hoping for perhaps a Livingstone monument, the Scott memorial being maybe a step too far! Or even a wee Greyfriars Bobby? But seriously an excellent job, and I love how it allows the different views of the station beyond. Smashing final view of the signalman looking out to the gardens.
Anyone for a picnic?
Nicely done!! Really looks fantastic!
Hello, fantastic udate as usual, i follow with interest all your update since the beginning.
Congratulations !! From France, Gérard.
Brilliant thanks for sharing
absolute belter of a garden looks lush
Awesome job Dave!! Thanks for sharing this how to video. Cheers Onno.
Brilliant update, loved how it all came together.
Hi Dean. great gardens mate. even more so. the trees look fabulous and life like...........all the best Tony
Another inspirational video Dave. I think it would be easy to go overboard with trees etc and you’ve got just the right amount imo - the views through the trees into the station and tunnels really are exceptional. The trees themselves are superb - I dread to think how much you paid for them but worth the money as they look excellent. I also love the clean lines of the borders that you’ve achieved.
This really is work of the very highest standard and I hope you have many enjoyable hours watching the comings and going’s through the garden 👍🏼
Thanks again Dave.....
I can’t believe that it’s 7/8 years I’ve been watching your layout evolve!
Yeah time flies when you’re building a layout lol. Cheers. Dave
Signal box is wonderful.
It's a shame that it isn't, but if the world was a perfect place, it would look like it does on your layout!!! I love how it is weathered, but also how it is pristine as well to go with it. Between the sleepers is rotten, but the ballast around it is clean enough to eat your dinner off. It really does look good. I love the other way of doing it with full weathering like Minsterley and Everard Junction as well. They all look amazing though in their different ways. I wish I was this good!
Attention to detail on this layout is just stunning, garden really adds some nice contrasting colour to the grey of the station
Another very nice piece of scenery and the different shades mix well together. You do go to some lengths to make things right. When people tick the dislike button, I wish they would at least leave a comment on what they dislike. Martin. (Thailand)
Cheers Martin. Ah I don’t concern myself with the dislikes... prob inc some bots/spammers. I once had 3 dislikes before a premier video started, which just goes to show that some people just dislike even though they haven’t watched it!
The garden looks great.
Awesome job Dave 👍
Great addition love you re layouts whats santa bringing you have a great Christmas 🎄
The garden areas look fantastic. Really reminds me of Edinburgh
Hi Dave, congratulations on what you have achieved in that area, it looks fantastic, the variety of trees and shrubs together with the various shades in the foliage really makes that area come alive.. Cheers Greg. Merry Christmas to you and yours and let us hope that 2021 is a better year. Stay safe Dave.
Wonderful representation Dave it really does capture the atmosphere around Waverley Excellent tutorial as ever Great inspirations for all modellers 👍
Another terrific piece of landscaping. The garden looks amazing. Well done.
Really great work Dave
Trees and bushes make a massive difference to any layout.
Just a bit of greenery makes everything come alive. 👍🏻
It certainly does! Cheers
Really lovely work Dave - you've created a beautiful picture which complements the station so well!
Truely phenomenal! The gardens and views of the station are absolutely superb. You are an inspiration to us all!
Cheers. Very kind. :-) Dave
That looks absolutely amazing, done a fine job there. Just need a couple of squirrels in the trees! 👍🏻👍🏻
That looks SO good. The camera angles look incredible. Thanks very much for sharing this with us.
Gardens look amazing, and you've captured the look of the gardens at Edinburgh perfectly - super!
Looks great.👍
Excellent. Looks a treat now. I fancy having a picnic on the static grass and watch the trains go by. All the best.
KEEP OFF THE GRASS ;-) ha! Cheers Dave
Hi Dave - That has worked out very well indeed and have given you some great running shots . I will take a look at the Model tree Shop as the trees look like good products..............Cheers Kev
Very nice Dave. I've used the Model tree shop for a few years now as Steven has some great products. The gardens really set the station off, looks great with the potential for interesting filming. Atb Andy
Yeah I’ve used his trees since the beginning of Dean park. Excellent quality.
I love your attention to detail David, even the bits you don't really see like carving the foam you take your time to make sure its perfect, a lot of modelers just throw it down with a that will do, that's why Dean Park stands out on RUclips as one of the best layouts on ere Andy
Cheers, Someone once said I was driven by detail! ;-) Dave
I think there's a name for that brown colour! ;-) Funnily enough, stripes in the grass was in my mind just when you mentioned it in the commentary. There's attention to detail and madness - I think you've (just) stayed in the right side of the line there. A great looking park/gardens area and the trees nicely frame the peeks you get of the station area. Cheers
Ha!, yes I thought the same about the brown!
The gardens look great mate really gives depth to that scene. Have a great xmas Dave.
Cracking work on the garden section dave it looks amazing cannot wait for the next installment on the layout
Great work once again Dave, have a great Christmas, Chris
Wonderful!
I love watching your progress on your layout. It's awe inspiring. Keep up the good work Dave.
Hi, That’s really great to hear. Thank you. Dave
Looks very much like princess gardens, Edinburgh. It makes a nice addition to the layout, gives it another focal point. Great work Dave.
It’ll finally give me the scenic shots of the station I’ve been waiting to shoot! :-) cheers. Dave
Superb
Utterly wonderful Dave. This took my breath away. I have just one small point to make and that is the trees in the grass would surely have some roots showing through?
Will you be adding a garden team in...a tractor mower or ride on mower would look a bit tasty.
This is turning into or perhaps already is one of THE most iconic layouts of the past 10/20 years.
Keep safe and well
Cheers, Bob
Cheers Bob. There’s always extra details like gardeners etc I can add tending to the park in future. I’ll be adding some spotters at some point too :-) Dave
It looks absolutely outstanding!! Hats off! The greenery makes for a stunning view to the station! Got a good few ideas for my own layout!
Absolutely amazing layout. I can only aspire to something like this.....but will keep trying..
Brilliant, I could watch your layout all day 👍👍
Cheers :-)
Absolutely wonderful Dave
Great skills Dave. Looks very realistic. I like this style of video. Keep up the scenic content please 👍🏼
Cheers. These videos take weeks to make. I like them too, but not always possible to do. Glad you enjoyed this one :-) cheers. Dave
Just love the music that multi-talent. Great looking
Hi Dave. All looking rather nice. Bet you can't wait for spring to get the Flymo out, lol. Regards Bobby 'T'.
Amazing railway. Have subscribed. Look forward to future updates. Stay safe. All the best. Mick🇬🇧
Cheers Mick :-) Also, welcome to Dean Park! Dave
Lovely work as usual Dave.
I too find myself creating a scenic section on my own layout.
I’ve actually been working on it as I watch! Wether it looks as good as Dean Park Gardens.... I’ll have to wait & see👍
Keep up the good work,
Cheers JohnB😷
Merry Christmas 🎄
As usual another informative video, I’m always left feeling “ I could give that a go”. Definitely captured the essence of the gardens at Waverley Station.
Cheers. Yeah I try to keep it simple and achievable for anyone to have a go themselves! :-) cheers. Dave
Excellent job Dave. Shrub bed very typical of the period, usually the result of a job creation scheme which would later be handled back to the council. There used to be a layout on the exhibition circuit that had a park with a tractor and a set of gang units in the process of cutting the grass.
It's been a while. I hope all is well with you and yours. It has been a Great day for the human race. The first vaccines. I must say that I enjoyed your Dec. update. It was most informative and entertaining. I found it so. Again, great video. I look forward to the next one, as always. Regards to you, and may you have a Happy Holidays. [Everything you wished for]. Tom H.
That looks amazing Dave, really ties the whole scene together and provides some depth of field for your running shots - great work 👍
Great update Dave love the walk through on how you did your gardens scenery is great i like doing scenery on my layout i think it really brings a layout to life top work mate. Cheers and all the best.
Nicholas.
Shows mask. Doesn't wear mask. HSE has a fit. Nice video Dave, as always, and that area is looking great, very realistic.
Haha! I took it off as I had goggles on and they were steaming up... then to took goggles off! Oops. Dave
the beauty of the gardens really highlights how nasty the prefabs are 😂. amazing job as always!!!
Nice work on the gardens, really brings that end of the station to life now.
This looks excellent. As usual. Really chuffed to also see a bit more freight running on the layout now. 👍
Looking good :Dave. That Oak tree is certainly very nice. I had a look for my layout but couldn't justify the cost as good as it is.
I sold a coach so used the money from that! But won’t be splashing out on lots of them!
Just stunning, my dude.
Great video Dave however to many adverts.
Gday Dave, Another Excellent Video Thanks. Great Work !!! it really adds to your layout , the trees are very realistic and well placed .Merry Christmas to You and your family, stay safe looking forward to 2021 Regards Tony 👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
"Ground Fall" ... First, great work! I have been waiting ages to see this area developed and love the end product. I was wondering about what I have seen other modelers on RUclips call "ground fall" which is what naturally occurs beneath large tress up against the trunks. It is usually some dead leaves, sticks, etc. And typically the grass will not grow right up to the tree due to decreased light, etc. Might you consider on the larger trees which are out in the grassy area, adding some dirt and ground fall beneath the tree in a circular shape adjacent to the trunks? Could be another added detail touch. If your park nearby, or via photos, shows this differently then I describe..with manicured grass right up to the trunk...then I digress and stand corrected. Again, GREAT WORK!
I can’t believe how good this looks and it’s only filmed in 720p I thought it was 4K at first. Another great video.
Cheers. Yeah I can film on 4k on phone but my editing software doesn’t allow more than Hd.
Looks fantastic, couldn’t help noticing your control panel, looks an absolute work of art. Have you done a video around the making of it?
Nice contrast between the tended parkland and the more natural landscaping elsewhere.
Great update Dave a lot of good progress there
Hi Dave woo the garden area is looking great mate you have cstah the look just right I look forward to the next video mate ho by the way I got 2 of realtrack class156 dmus in BR provincial livery two weeks ago from Hattons I am going to use them on my stranraer harbour station line so a merry Christmas to you and your family mate stay safe and well mate goodbye for now clive
What a lot of adverts!
You’ve seen how expensive trains are these days, and Dean park needs a heck of fleet. If a few 30 second adds are the only price I need to pay to witness modelling of this level I think I can live with that
@@thomasthornton2002 that’s very kind of you to say that. :-) I dislike ads and simply forget that youtube now ad in mid roll ads ‘as standard’. It’s a pain. I’ll get around to turning them off, need to be on a pc to do it as you can’t do it from a phone!
But yes, it’s an expensive hobby and while I woykd never ask people to donate or pay me to make videos I do welcome a few quid now and again from ad’s to put back into the layout. Cheers. Dave
Great Job Dave 👍
Nice bit of running also,
I have to say that this layout is up there with the best scenically on RUclips, absolutely superb. Question for you...what is the capacity of the station platforms and can they take a full HST rake. Cheers Steve.
Steve Lomas Have a look at the layout built by Mouldy Raspberry on his channel.
Hi. Platforms 2 and 3 can take a 7 car hst and platform 6 can take a full 8 coach HST. It was specifically designed to take an HST :-) cheers. Dave
@@tulyar1043 Just had a look, and yes another superb layout...but...you can't really compare the two...MR is totally set it a rural location where as Daves is more urban and he captures it brilliantly, yes there are many other good layouts out there but for me this is the best as you have both urban and rural sections that blend seemlessly...Everard Junction is another good one.
Hat's off its the bees 👍
Cheers. Really happy with it :-)
Leaves on the lines , be careful we don’t want any train delays for Christmas
That grass looked so perfect and like a fairway on a golfcourse. It looked so wonderful that it made me think that has anyone ever added part of a golf course to their layout? It would be amazing to see with how incredible you can make scenery and grass look nowadays. A really scenic golf hole on the side of the railway, as you do see that quite a lot in real life. If my layout was big enough then I would definitley consider it.
Does anyone know of a golf course/hole/club house etc. being added to a layout?
Thanks for the awesome looking gardens, well explained and demonstrated as usual. A great improvement indeed.
Did you cut the floor of the loft by any chance while preparing the insulation?😁
Was worried about the views of station with the trees and bushes, but all looks superb, and again, well placed and explained.
Maybe add a picnic, a piper and a drummer to the gardens?
Top notch, keep safe!
Hopefully the council won't come a long and chop down the trees. As we know trees and shrubbery close to the railway provides a protective undisturbed green chain for wild life and plants, within urban areas. This is especially important for people living in the flats near by.
Stage 6 Installing Trees | Scrubs | Bushes doh. Great video btw
Oops :-)
Too much lawn to mow! ,but it’s looking real good cheers from NZ!
Looks great Dave, I hated plaster clothing though so messy :)
I don't think Dave does messy! Cleanest layout on RUclipss. And I do mean that in a kind way.
The variations in tone of your concrete walls around the switch box area are amazing. It really looks authentic.
Do you think you could mimic the striped grass effect by masking stripes and applying two slightly varying colors of static grass?
Hi, thanks! I think you could get the stripe effect like that yeah. Cheers. Dave
Short question? Have you ever thought about Train cams to showcase your layout?
There are a number of layouts on RUclips of people who have cameras on the front of the trains or even inside the front of the trains just showing a cabin view on the layout as the train goes around the layout. Would be interesting to see your layout from the cabin view :)
Hi..I did a video last year with a drivers eye view of the layout. I’m doing another tour soon to show the work I’ve done this year and will try incorporate these views in to the video. Cheers.
@@DeanPark I must of missed the video, ill go search for it. That's awesome, you do a fantastic job on your layout, impressive stuff :)
Hello Dave, this is your best video I think. Looks good. Can you please tell me where you got that lovely oak tree from, thank you
The park looks very realistic Reminds me of when I used to run through a park like that to get the train number before it as blocked from my view, I was not always able to make it from the swings and roundabout in time. I hope you got a cedar tree in there LOL. I have used the woodland scenics earth colour on my layouts and it does work well as you say. On another note what is the music used from 7:35 please
Hello Dave. I was looking back through almost all your great videos. The attention to detail is really second to none. One very very minor thing that kept bugging me however was your magnificent work on Dean Park Gardens. You often refer to the fact that your whole build is based upon Waverley Station and the surrounding area, and you also refer to "Waverley Gardens" . Waverley Gardens is in fact a street of tenement flats in Glasgow. The gardens in Edinburgh are for your reference Princes Street Gardens. These are divided as East and West. I had a vision of your good friend Richard at Everard, making another trip North and depending on his sat nav, ending up 45 miles to the West when looking at the real Waverley Gardens???? I know how pernickety you are about detail, so I thought I would pass on this information to you. Not trying to be a pain - please don't think it. Other than that, your landscaping is as I say magnificent. I will use so very many of your techniques in my own build, and will be including scratch build of the Scott Monument, which of course is situated in East Princes Street Gardens😂 Very Kindest regards.. Don
Cheers Don.
I was under the impression that the stretch between the two tunnels was the princess street gardens, and I just divided the area at the station in my head by calling it Waverley gardens.
But thanks for correcting me. I’ve not got an issue with people being nit picky etc… it’s either right or it’s wrong and I’d rather know :-)
Cheers
Dave
@@DeanPark Thanks Dave. I knew you would want to be correct. As I say, I am about to embark (again) on my own build using many of your videos for reference, and just wanted again to say that your work is superb, and the first place to go for online advice in my opinion. I might start a video log myself, although I’m not sure I could even dream of emulating your standards, and also, I’m not sure my video skills are up to much, but hey, thanks for renewing my interest after I scrapped the first build ( MDF and hot/cold garages don’t mix). We learn from mistakes, and of course, those brilliant people who share their work on the internet. Keep up the good work. Regards. Don
Looking great and coming on a treat mate! 👍 What’s the upkeep conditions today of the real life gardens today?
Still very well kept!
Another excellent touch to the layout Dave. I see you've been treating yourself to some more ore tipplers ? 👍
Cheers. Yes... I got a second pack to make up. Scottish region rake of 10! Great wagons.
Looks amazing but aren't you worried about tree roots damaging your retaining walls with the passage of time?
Nice bit of gypsy jazz half way through as a musical accompaniment...
Did you do a video of how you constructed the station overall roof
Great video, very inspirational Dave! Quick question, and may have been covered previously, the covered station pavilion type building - where did you purchase that from, or is it scratch built? Thanks Stephen
Hi station buildings are scalescenes downloadable kits, some have been altered by me, for example the main station building/ticket office. Cheers. Dave
Great gardens. I especially liked the shot from the station end along the length of the gardens. I have been in Princess Street Gardens many times and as I recall the larger/dense trees in the grass areas usually have next to no grass around the base of these trees. Did you consider this when designing the park?
Yea I did, but when I was doing my static grassing I wasn’t 100% sure on the tree position. So didn’t want to leave a bare bit and then not put a tree there! Compromise had to be made. :-)
@@DeanPark Makes sense :-)
