New Layout Build - Additional details and structures

- In today's video I start working through some outstanding details I've been wanting to get around to for a long time. I add some much needed walling behind the tracks in the scrapyard area and finally get some water effects in the drainage pond.
I've got loads of detail projects I've been wanting to do for ages. Now I have more time look out for more videos where existing scenery is added to or improved.
I am not a railway modeller but I can appreciate the skill and attention to detail that Richard brings to his hobby - and to his technical ability to produce videos - very enjoyable to watch, thank you
Same
I agree. I tried and didn't really enjoy it as I don't have the patience but your stuff looks great and it's fun to have going in the background. Keep it up.
An absolute masterpiece. I am sure I am not the only one who looks forward to the notification of a new video and keenly watches your progress. Only shame is that it can never leave your loft, would be amazing to see your work at an exhibition.
I am so impressed with your model. I am an ex BR employee ( 1965/2000 ) and drove electric trains on inner suburban london lines and recognise most of everything you have. Its the little bits like the familiar weeds that grow all over or the displaced troughing covers. We always laughed about knowing you were getting nearer to London as the graffitti and rubbish got closer together. Also the extraneous junk laying about near and on the tracks.👍
The newspapers as litter beside the track, absolultely brillant
Amazing how the retaining wall has improved the background proper.
Plus you can nearly hear the frogs
The Devil is in the Details. I'm not a model railroader but I love watching your vids as they keep me inspired to constantly improve my modeling by paying such close attention to what some might consider inconsequential small detail. The beauty of such details is the life they impart to the project. Outstanding work and a pleasure to see the progress of the model.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!
I'm not a railway modeller but the scene just takes me back to my days going up and down to Charing Cross from Orpington in the 1970's. Most of the commuters would have their head in their newspapers but I would be fascinated by the little scrap yards and graffiti that flashed by. Keep up the great work...so that I can just watch..
Cheers John, glad it brought back some memories. I'm the same when travelling by train. Always interested in the details that flash past.
An extremely relaxing viewing. No problem about waiting for glue to dry, gives time for tea and cake. With all these modern materials and scenic items this side of the hobby becomes really addictive. The water really brought that section alive. Carry on the good work
In my opinion Everard Junction is the most realistic model railway on RUclips, well done 👏
I have to say, I've been enjoying this channel for a few years, and I still love every update and am so glad you continue to provide us with instruction, inspiration, and entertainment. Thank you, good sir!
Thanks for following me all this time! It's been a pleasure to mess about with model railways for this long. Cheers
I really love that vibe with the litter and graffiti! I think it would be great to see old ASDA trolleys and stollen bicycles dumped in that drainage pond!
Or in the canal.
I have some bikes, trolleys and extra litter for that bit. Certainly looks a bit too clean there at the moment. Cheers
An early finish from work, lovely roast dinner and an Everard Junction video - a perfect Sunday 👍
The layout is looking amazing.
👍👍👍👍👍
Arguably one of the best detailed layouts currently on RUclips!
This video highlights that the small details are just as important as the big ones. Amazing layout
Sehr authentisch👍die neue Mauer, der kleine Kanal perfekt gestaltet.Der Schrottplatz ist auch super gestaltet 😀 sehr interessante Anlage.Thanks.
The tiny newspapers are a marvelous touch!
I think we'll have to call that fella in the flats 'Balcony Bloke' :) He's certainly got the best view in the house. Thanks for another great video.
Balcony Bert? Did he move to a different balcony at one point, or was that my imagination?
Fabulous video. That water around the drain and in the ditch looks superb and finishes that area beautifully. The retaining walls are excellent and the detail around the area just completes the effect. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills with us, it gives us something to aspire to. Roy.
the presentation of your videos just gets better. always impressed with your skill Richard, thanks for doing these updates
Adding layers of detail can only improve a layout, that is given Richards amazing skill level!
Haha, you got your reflection in the murky water then.😁 There's some excellent new camera angles there Richard. The close-ups of the urban railway are very effective.👍👌😁
I always did like the attention to detail on the old layout. The new retaining walls, cable troffs and mixed ballast really bring out that slightly run down look of Britain's railways in the 80s and early 90s.
I am green of envy! I built Airfix models when I was a kid, 50 years ago, and the all looked like they had crashed in to a glue pit. Amazing layout and I have spent the last couple of days watching this channel, almost NON STOP
Perfect viewing for a Sunday evening, love how the layout has been coming together since the restart
That’s my Sunday evening sorted, thank you so much 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Your attention to detail is, as always, fantastic. Run your trains late, maybe, or offer a bus connection service to complete a journey... or simply cancel your trains all together to complete that 80’s feel. 👍🏼
"One of the worst bits of the hobby... you spend half of your life waiting for things to dry." That is so true! 🤣🤣🤣
If I might make a suggestion, dip the newspapers in a little tea or something to make them more brown like newsprint gets when it ages. Anyway, great work. You've got much more dedication than I do. It would take me decades to do what you get done in a few months.
Good idea! I'll give that a try, cheers.
The attention to every last minute detail is why I love this layout so much. As a fellow modeller, I can appreciate the time, effort and thought that is going into Everard Junction....oh! and it's 80s too. My era!
Hello Richard, Oh to have such a steady hand, one of the benefits of youth I guess. As "hellooo" below said your videos can never be too long and I agree because the amount of interest you manage to include in each video makes them so enjoyable to watch. Thanks heaps Richard. Cheers Greg
Thanks Greg, glad you enjoyed it. I've always been blessed with a steady hand. Long may it continue! Cheers
Once again a modelling masterclass That retaining wall looks as its been there all along. Brilliant blending with the existing scenery and a nice tutorial on the retaining wall.
That retaining wall looks mint ... it's all about the details ... good job ...
Wonderful attention to detail it really makes the layout come "Alive". Loved the discarded newspapers. It's really taking off now it's a layout that you can keep working on for a few years yet I suspect.
What a great look and feel Everard Junction has. Most interesting to be let into the thoughts and skills behind the construction. Lovely camera work in the intro. Wouldn't want to live in the bottom 2 stories of the block of flats, though. Congratulations and thanks for posting.
Like all the cable trunking with the lids off like in real life 👍
did not fully appreciate the sleeper spacing until now - looks so much more realistic with what you have undertaken.
i don't find the videos too long at all.
Brilliant Richard! All the touches you have achieved have brought further realism to this wonderful layout. Well done. Iain
Once again. Nice work Richard.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Richard. This really is looking stunning. One would have to say you have a natural gift for this. Thanks for sharing, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Cheers, Bob
Great work. Maybe some green moss on the walls. Burnt out car, phone poles, shopping trolleys in the ditch, definitely graffiti.
Just brilliant. Award winning skill my man. I'm actually back in the 80s everything I see your layout. They were great times to live . Great work.
Hi Richard thanks for sharing an interesting and enjoyable packed detailed video (PS never too long). Always a pleasure to watch your clips looking forward to the next, take care and please stay safe..
Thanks, Richard for a Great update...Excellent Work and Thanks for sharing your skills with us all ..👍👍..Tony.. 🇦🇺
Nice to see you back on form again Richard, great video as usual. Keep it up, you inspire people like me. Cheers Graham 👍
Thanks Graham, glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for another demonstration of your genius level modelling skills. A pleasure to behold and a benchmark for others like myself to aim for.
The new road surface looks a lot better than did the photo paper.
This is probably the most realistic layout I've seen fro the ones I've watched on RUclips.
I bet it looks stunning in real life...
Mouldy Raspberry's Yorkshire Dales layout, whilst very different, is excellent too, with similar imagination and attention to detail. Both he and Richard are inspiring modellers.

@@speleokeir It's funny you should leave this comment, I only read your reply today as RUclips seems not to notify me anymore of replies.
Only last night 22nd May, did I get recommended a Mouldy Raspberry video. It was a part 2 of a layout. Brilliant detailing and I subscribed and left a comment. You are right, he also is very impressive with what he does.
OMG, at the last, the train reflecting in the water is great...
As always - brilliant!! Enough said!!
Quite liked the look of a bit of greenery (a bit, not all of it) on top of the coping stones on the retaining wall around the relay boxes: you do get mosses and even small plants growing on stone/concrete tops like that. That litter must be one of the best products SMS do!
Cracking video, plenty of ideas there for my own scenery improvement, thanks
It is an absolute education watching you working on your layout. These videos from yourself and others are such a great help to me just starting out in the hobby,at 56 😬
Great job,love the wall and your scenery.
I'm amazed more and more, every time I watch a video of yours, you are truly gifted with an eye for detail. AMAZING... It is like you have shrunk the real world..
Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the video buddy. All the new additions look great.
The production value of your vids has gone thru the roof! Your new job has been good for you!
Cheers. It's very nice having a little bit more time away from work!
I've been a follower for a few years now. I admire your enthusiasm and attention to detail. Thank you. Its always a joy to see a video crop up on my timeline. Join? What join? Loved the water. Excellent.
I am a relative newcomer to Roket glue myself. Can't believe the time it has saved me already.
The bridges need pigeons! Seriously though, just superb modelling.
Evening Richard. Well worth waiting for. That dirty water looks absolutely fantastic 👍🏻 Short video concept is really good as you’ve packed lots in with good tips 😀
Yet again an inspiring video if I can get anywhere near as real as that I will be well pleased.
Your attention to detail and the time and effort you put in to your layout is really paying off. Really good video work and editing too. I loved the ending with the reflection of the passing trains in the pond water, before panning up to the actual loco and wagons. Nice touch.
Your scenery is fantastic! Love it.
Great work. 🚂
Thanks so much for sharing. 😎👌🏼
All coming together really good now Richard another great video looking forward to the next one 👍
Balcony Toby non stop trainspotting and keeping an eye on the progress :)
Brilliantly explained video again, love watching these can`t wait for the next one!
Amazing detail. And patience!!!
hi. i simply admire your patience and attention to detail. brilliant layout and scenery
You see lots of model railways but not alot have as much detail as your .... keep going with the fantastic work
Maybe some railing along the towpath under the tunnel.
congrats for a great job.
And thanks for sharing your videos.
Plenty done even the little bits make a difference. Can't beat a drop of resin in those soakaway areas, makes a huge difference.
Its always the small details that bring a layout layout life, and yours is no exception Richard, what stunning detail. Wish I was as good scenic modeller as you were. Keep up the good work and stay safe
James
The detail is fantastic. It's just a shame that the model vehicle makers can't pay as much attention to detail and provide a simple button to turn off the tail lights when coupling a loco to a train. In the rail industry (in Britain anyway) a tail light indicates "train complete." A very important part of the operating procedure. Signalmen in the old manual boxes would ALWAYS stop a train if the driver had forgotten to turn off the loco tail lights (or the intermediate tail lights on two coupled Units.) For me, as a former footplate man of 30+ years, it spoils not just Richard's layout but the many other splendid layouts on view around RUclips.
@@cyberdonblue4413 It bugs me as well I have a few locos that have a switch underneath to turn them off but with DCC it should not be a problem for them to make a switchable function Another idiotic thing is locos with the leading cab light on. No way a driver would do that.
@@cyberdonblue4413 Very annoying with my Hornby locos. The other manufacturers have such a feature and I make use of it. Hornby have been lagging behind the dcc features for some time time now.
Thanks James, glad you enjoyed it.
you are doing GREAT JOB but what worry's me the most is what happens when you finish the build i cant see you just sitting watching the trains go around the big fun for you is the build hope you have more space where you can start another keep up the work and i hope it takes you a couple of years more to finish
It’s so beautiful! You’re a great builder and artist.
Always amazed at how much effort you put in. Perhaps a saving would be to leave a couple of buildings as contstion sites.
The bollox as always nice work n so simple but effective love it
Good update that. I like the scenery construction videos 👌🏼
Two EJ videos in a week! What a treat for a bank holiday. As always it’s really well produced, interesting and fab to watch.
Really, really nice work. Your continued attention to detail is amazing. Great video!! Thanks for sharing and stay safe. Cheers - Larry.
Wow simply Amazing the layout keeps getting better and better each video well done 👍
What is there not to like about this video.... as always I am Amazed with the attention to detail and the artistic styling of every little detail. Wonderful stuff. Too Long..... rubbish, its never long enough and you did get some reflection in your standing water.
Great work. On the litter front a concentration at a signal that would regularly hold a train is a good touch. Approach to haymarket from Slateford is one I know of where drivers have made sure there's coffee cups ballasting the cess.
Good idea. When I add some graffiti to the wall I'll see about adding some extra litter. Cheers
Great video as always. Have you thought of adding some advertising billboards? Very common in the 80s until cigarette advertising was banned.
Yes, the layout is very much lacking in advertising boards at the moment. I'll be adding plenty of it in future. Cheers
@@EverardJunction Really enjoying your channel and attention to detail. Very atmospheric.
Amazing eye for detail.
Fantastic! great and interesting tips, amazing layout full credit to you many thanks.
I’m the same I’m not really into model railways but I find these videos very relaxing
This is wonderful.
Well done on that retaining wall. I was super impressed at how it went into place the looked like it had always been there. That's the mark of someone good at their craft!
I am supposed to be renovating my Audi A6 Allroad C5 2002, in my yard, but decided to have a little look at your video - but became 'hooked', 'mesmerised' even, and forgot about doing my car . !
Your excellent video presentations and the soundtrack you use are dangerously addictive, from someone who is an amateur film maker (currently nursing a nasty trapped nerve in his back!).
I am thinking will I have time to produce and edit films, renovate my car and become a railway modeller, all at the same time! Richard - you are a master at railway modelling!
Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it, more vids on the way.
That music...like a late 80s sitcom
Looking amazing mate thankyou for the video
Worth the wait....excellent update and video....shows focus and dedication to this enthralling hobby
Rich, a Nuclear ower bo thanks! sticker on one of the concrete bridges is an idea, there is one on the up side bridge over the A120 that has been there decades, great work as usual
Truly a delight; the word that comes to mind is 'verisimilitude'- brilliant stuff, and so pleasing. Thank you.
I love your reflective stagnant water.
It's the little things that make the difference
I must say Richard your layout is one to admire, I just love the realism. I’ve been following for some years and the layout is really evolving from the first one. The introduction was also a nice watch. Great work and would love to add some of the tips you have shared on the branch to my layout. Thank you for you continued effort and time putting these videos together. Andy
Amazing work! As always....
Amazing work as usual! Love it Richard.
It's looking amazing! Just missing random tonne bags of ballast and lengths of rail just left to the side
Plenty more details to add in future. Cheers!
