New Layout Build - Station Car Park
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 ноя 2022
- Focus for this video is to make some progress on the surrounding scenery in the station area. The two large background buildings have been crying out for some scenery to compliment them. I've managed a decent bit of progress on the car park and will continue to work on the station area over the next few videos.

Appreciate all the engagement and excitement that’s turning up in the comments with these videos this year. Can I just ask that we dial the OCD level down from 11 to 9 please! It’s a model of an imaginary place on a table in the attic. It will never be true to life or 100% accurate in every detail. Remember, it’s about creating a balance, having fun and feeling a sense of days gone by.
I don't want to put a dampener on things, far from it. However I feel with each video some of us are losing sight of what model railways are about. Cheers Guys 👍
Agree never loose sight it is a great hobby and great fun. That's how it should stay 👍
I think I can speak for 99% of the people that watch your videos when I say that you’re blend of imagination, attention to detail and modelling skill really is creating a genuine masterpiece of a model railway! Certainly let the 1% worry you, it is looking bloody fantastic and the process is a joy to watch. 👍🏻
Having read down for a few of these comments, I think that if anything it just goes to show how much personality investment some people have with your layout. It’s really nothing to do with us, other than watching your work but the level of quality and storytelling is sucking people in! I’d take it as a compliment mate, I very much doubt it’s meant as anything negative
I appreciate your view and am well aware that it is a model layout. But it has captured a sense of the period even if it is a glimpse. I have built a number of layouts in the past and do appreciate detail work....
Hi Richard, again you have smashed it, its amazing what you can make and how you seem to have such a logical and clear focus on what you want to acheive, and strike a balance of enough detail but not too much.
Can I ask you if possible to show us how you did the designs for the cricut machine as i have been trying to get to grips with this but getting nowhere fast lol.
Keep loving what you do and as always we all look forward to the next video!
Take care kind sir.

I don’t have much interest in model railways! But I always end up back here! The attention to detail here is absolutely mind blowing, I actually can’t comprehend the time and dedication!
Same here
Same here, I grew up on the South Coast in the 80s and it’s quite nostalgic.
Same
Same here - I don't have the space, the patience or the means (having picked up a number of other expensive hobbies already) to really delve into this myself, but I enjoy seeing the process and appreciate the attention to detail, even (maybe especially) the grime and grunge. And there's a sense of humor, too - every time I see "Farce Insurance", I have to chuckle, because it reminds me of the crap office jobs I had early in my adulthood.
Richard isn’t alone in his dedication to get things looking as lifelike as possible. Check out my layout… both Richard and I share ideas and are both a detail mad as each other lol
It's a strange feeling watching someone so expertly recreate one's childhood. 1980s station platforms waiting for my dad to come home from the office (Liverpool Street to Marks Tey, every day). The colour schemes, the clocks, the flickering train screens, the grim brickwork, the 'haphazardness' of it all before rules about wheelchair access and accessibility for visually impaired etc. meant railways had to look out for missing paving slabs etc. I'm not saying I want to go back to those times, but these videos are a wonderful comfort and nostalgia hit. Thanks Richard, superb craftsmanship aside, they're greatly appreciated on a personal level.
The discussing of the oil leaks from the cars from different manufactures made me chuckle far more than it should have!
So relatable! 😂
Your attention to detail is fantastic & makes interest for a wide range of people. Great with the rubbish bag in the bins, sunken drain covers, advertising hordings & other infra structure. Great inspiration for my next 1970's early 80's London viaduct loosely based on Tooley st /London bridge.
One of the many things I love about your layout is that it (to me) straddles the fine line between cosy and run down. You may not want to spend time in that car park after dark ... but at the same time you do, you know? It has character, I'd feel like I fitted right in walking those crooked paving slabs. Your layout looks so lived in, it's amazing.
That's the plan. A few bits and bobs here and there to give the "dodgy" feel go a long way. Too many can spoil the layout and I like to preserve the character. Cheers
In the early 80s, my older brother and I were hedge hopping. My bro managed to make a bad landing and he broke his arm. We both ran home - he was crying in extreme pain…I was crying in sympathy. We made up an elaborate story to our parents that my brother had tripped on the wonky paving, which they totally believed! When my bro turned 18 he received about £3000 compensation…
My parents were eventually told the truth only about 10 years ago or so…they did see the funny side. Thanks for jogging my memory with wonky slabs. We lost my brother about 2 weeks ago! He’d been ill for some time… RIP Andy
@@trevchumby rest in pace 😢
@@loco4loco thank you , much love
I was trying to think why these videos have been so addictive to me over the years. I suppose it's just fascinating to watch someone with such zeroed-in dedication to their hobby not just tirelessly build their dream layout, but do it with such incredible imagination and skill. Keep going, Richard, we love it!
Amazing once again.
I'm reminded of my time working on the railway in the 1980s.
After just one minute of this video I'm already flattened by this detailed layout. I can nearly smell the p*** in the dark corners of this station. Thanks a lot for your inspiring work.
A masterpiece. Certainly looks like the London of yesteryear. Well done.
Hands down that car park area is a work of art. It's unreal in the detail and thought that has gone into it. Honestly it looks so realistic you can almost smell it.
They were brave, parking their Audi Quattro in that dodgy car park, especially with him 47:51 lurking! 😮. Or was he waiting for her purse 55:28?
I’ve been away without reliable internet access 😱 and when I saw you’d posted a layout update, I couldn’t wait to watch. I picked a quiet Sunday afternoon, cup of tea, biscuit barrel and sat myself down to be amazed and awed with your model building skills. I wasn’t disappointed!
Thank you for sharing with us.
Absolutely brilliant Richard. That was a great watch, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Just watched it with my wife. You just modelled her teens to early 20s in and around Ealing Broadway Station. Dingy car park - spot on, including trip hazard paving. Evoking an era is, as I've said before, at least as much a piece of art as anything at The Slade or Royal College of Art
Amazing as always! One detail missing...one of the bike racks should just have a sad wheel left locked where the rest of the bike had been nicked, common sight in Cardiff City Centre back in the day 😆
Brilliant! I'll give it a go at some point
I know Richard fiddled around with the bikes for sometime. There is a limit to the detail these tiny kits can take. I use them at dean park too. Fragile little blighters !!
That was exactly my thought at that point, more common than intact bikes in 80s Liverpool!
@@DeanPark I was expecting one of the bikes to go flying against the wall in frustration..😆
Wow, it looks so realistic that when you have something like a pair of scissors in shot they look giant sized! Absolutely superb work.
Mindblowing realism as always. You and Cityscape Studio remain my two favorite RUclips modellers by far, representing my two favorite rail systems in the world.
Absolutely gobsmacking attention to detail all done with a truly artistic aesthetic
I’m going to say it out loud i cannot believe how this channel and your layout didn’t win an award really cannot understand it… to say you’re the Rembrandt of Model railway doesn’t do you and the quality of your work justice…. The attention to detail, the quality and your presentation skills 2nd to none…
I just really enjoy seeing this microcosm grow & increase in detail. I'll never own a model railway but it's great watching this tiny world develop: the attention to detail is phenomenal!
So relaxing too
the shops/flats look really good, the rest lucks a bit to clean, dont know if theirs anything u can do, the concrete on the shops looks well weathered, brilliant job brother,the attention to details like making your own handrails, sloping the odd bollard etc is top notch keep on keeping on brother bob&MrTao,xxx
I liked your installation of putting the new car park lamp post from model signs and I also liked how you designed and made your own car park area for your train station.
Wow just fantastic work. Great video thanks for sharing with us 👍🏻🚂 TSM
What did I just watch? Amazing. How to turn a blank canvas into a masterpiece.
Cracking video just like your older videos that brought me here the attention to detain us immersing
This layout is incredible. The detailing is amazing. Well done 👏.
Can’t recall if I have commented on this channel before, but felt compelled to today.
I was really happy to see a new video this evening. It’s exactly what I needed. This has become the perfect relaxation tool for me, so joyous is it watching it all come together.
Yes the standard is very very high, but it’s presented in such an inspiring and logical way that it makes it seem within reach.
This layout / channel has inspired me to sort out my railway room after a years break (house move) and now I am nearly back to actual modelling.
Thanks a lot for doing this.
I've been following your progress for some years now but have never commented, everybody else seems to say everything I am thinking before me. Anyhow, just to say, that car park absolutely transforms that whole area and really has a great overall effect on the station. I was living in and around London during the seventies and eighties...you sir, are spot on. Well done.
Thank you for making my Sunday evening entertainment a lot more enjoyable than what the TV had to offer.
Fantastic work as ever Richard! 🤓 I like how you have altered the terrain slightly to incorporate the canal and give a reason for the other part of the canal being slightly curved 🤔 I really like those drain covers as they add an element that is seldom modelled, rather like the addition of graffiti and litter too! And the wee scene with the ramp and overgrown foliage really does give the scene a gritty realism that brings back memories for me as a young man when either off to London for a gig or to work, or on my way back from a night out after wetting a few too many whistles and trying desperately to work out how to use the ticket machine that seemed to be moving around as I tried to put coins in!🤪🥃🍺🍷
Must say the road furniture (especially the parking ticket machines) look like excellent products and you have used the. Very well 😎
Cheers mate 🍻🍀👍
Fully visualise one of the bikes to be rusted, flat tyres clearly left chained up for years!! Yours is one of the few RUclips videos of my hobby that my wife will sit and watch with me lol! Very enjoyable and useful info thanks Richard.
Unbelievable! What fantastic detail 👏 superb job. 👍
The car park is the cement that really does bring the station together. A fantastic addition to this part of the layout. Looking forward to the next video . Thanks for posting.
I think that the creation of realistic, believable landscape is the mark of the artist when building a fictional railway. The car park to stairs to bushes to retaining wall to office block, hides the height transition and encourages your brain to believe that “ I could walk up there” so there’s a real personal placement of that bit of the railway.
The town under the bridge on Runswick Bay , an O gauge NER circular layout, had the same: a group of buildings of different ages that looked like they’d grown organically over time with the necessary paths and flights of steps weaving it all together. Magic. Yours has the dank canal tow path disappearing into the gloom with the trains booming overhead, as another example.
Top work and very believable.
Superkings. My Grandad used to Smoke them and I remember those adverts.👍🇬🇧🇮🇱🇬🇧
From the wobbly tiles of the sidewalk to the colour of the lamp poles - perfection in every detail. Really amazing arts work!
As always Richard just absolutely superb. I’ve said it before, but you have the details spot on, this is how I remember the BR days when I was that kid obsessed with trains and you are capturing that suburban feel so well. So many layouts looks too clean and clinical, but you have such an eye for capturing the world how it is. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
Observation + Execution + Inspired Photography = Inspirational + Aspirational. Truly magnificent work!
Another superb video showing your excellent modelling and thoughts of what you want to capture. Just a couple of hours worth to catch up with now.
JR
loving the detail, as a ford guy i was spotting as many good fords as i could lol, love the 4x4 sapphire cossie as i used to have one. always love seeing the areas come together and always amazes me the detail you manage to get.
Man I'd love to see a compilation of all your intro videos! The sound recordings you chose for them are spot on.
I was distracted and out the corner of my eye I thought I was viewing footage of a real train station, nearly up there with the scrap yard in my mind for creating a gritty realistic scene, absoloutly great fun to view.
Perfectly captured! Regards Stephen.
It’s interesting looking at the comments with your reference to days gone by. I was born in the fifties so my days gone by go back even further. Excellent work though, excellent!
Awesome job Richard!!! Well build! Cheers Onno.
Great video Richard. Your attention to detail is stunning and your station is coming along brilliantly. Cant wait to see the finished article. Many thanks Steve.
Just what this Sunday ordered! An episode of Everard Junction! :)
Yeah, so nice when an episode drops when I'm off work. One of the few channels I have notifications turned on as I need to watch them as soon as possible.
Lovely work and very convincing.
Couple of comments:
There needs to be a largish sign next to the pay and display machines with the parking charges on.
The flowerbed would (based on my experience) be full of litter right outside the station entrance, people would walk out and throw their used tickets and food wrappers into the bushes.
Also a tip when lining using the paint pen; if you add a piece of masking tape to the bottom of your straightedge/template that doesn't go all the way to the edge the paint won't wick underneath.
Really nice job you are doing. Does bring back memories. I be honest I miss the old NSE days!! Also the station reminds me a bit of Gatwick airport station.
Marvellous once again Richard. Someday, when you next visit Dave at Dean Park, you must come and see my tiny little effort, set in Lanarkshire in 1990, but housed well and truly in Fife! One little idea I had for the inside of the building, opposite the ticket machine, departure screens, and/or wall mounted telephones!
Stunning !!! As usual, your superb attention to detail, and excellent hard work has again taken me back to my youth. Thank you
I don’t have a layout, and space means I don’t know if I will, but I love this channel. It’s simultaneously an inspiration and nostalgic for how I remember things when I was a kid.
Fantastic progress, Richard. Really looks good.
Looking fantastic as ever! Reminds me just how grim being a teenager in the eighties was! :)
I love this channel. So relaxing. And I love how you have recreated a bit of brutish 60s/70s England that fits so well with how I remember it.
I continue to be atonished at the level of detail you achieve on such a small scale.
Looks really good. I enjoy watching your posts very much.
Nearly up to date with videos as not watched any for over a year
Wow the layout is looking amazing I remember all those shops and billboards from growing up in strood in Kent used to see freight trains on the Victoria line going towards Dover over Rochester bridge and the old thumpers going on to the isle of sheppy from Sittingbourne
the Medway valley line used to run the old BR livery while the charring cross and Victoria lines had newer network southeast livery
Kwik save used to be a cheep super market back in the eighties little dodgy so to speak
Don’t forget the red steel benches that network south east used to have
Also at strood in the ticket office there was a newspaper/sweet stand just inside the front entrance to the left opposite ticket sales window and always a smell of jays fluid at most southeast stations
I’m 43 now and this takes me back to my childhood 😊😁👍🏻👍🏻
Absolutely superb
A master at work, thoroughly enjoy y our content.
Fantastic modelling as ever. Great little touches give the layout a sence of time and place. Each update gives me the spur to improve my efforts.
Outstanding work Richard, such a pleasure to see you go about your business. You've always said that this is your hobby, and we should all respect that, 100%. The rouges gallery of oil leaky cars was hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣
Its intended as a complement to your skills, but you capture very well the sheer hideousness of of many post-war rebuildings, and 60's/70's architecture. Very well done!
Well, that's certainly transformed that area and a grand job done. Definitely a reminder of a station you'd visit in the late 80's to get on a train to go to London or spend the day spotting at the end of the platform.
Just breath taking. Inspirational from beginning to end.
Brilliant video. Enjoy watching your updates. Gives me alot of ideas.
3:18 Great to see faithful modelling of the infamous 1:1 600x8000 posidrive screws used on Western Region's bridges... ;)
Absolutely fantastic detailing! Love your videos!
Brilliant video many thanks, going well.
Thank you for sharing your hobby with us! Your videos are most enjoyable to watch.
Truly amazing, what insight & patience you must have.
Hi Richard 👍 the Station car park area is looking awesome. One tip I noticed that you didn’t mention is using a template to cut the tarmac for the manhole covers. What a great idea. The red railings on top of the wall really fit into the scene nicely.
Keep up the inspiring work
Andy
We had to miss this upload yesterday, but a cracking job again Richard. This new layout is really coming together now. Your level of detail by real craftsman skills instead of 3D printing has been a genuine spark of ideas and energy to us. Cheerio.
Brilliant stuff as always Richard 👍🏻
Awesome to see how far this layout has come.
This is impressive. I am impressed. 1980s nostalgia joy!
A wonderful hour of relaxing viewing. Thank you.
Fantastic piece of work!
Absolutely superb transformation. Attention to detail is fantastic. Simply wonderful.
Fantastic work once again! Love the car park. Really ties that corner of the layout together. Only thing it's missing is a Mk IV or V Cortina. A Mk V 2.0 GLS was my set of wheels circa 1989 -93. They were still everywhere then. You got me rummaging through some boxes as a result of this video. Found the pin badge I picked up on the "Network Day", 21st June 1986. £3 for a travel anywhere ticket which me and a mate of mine took advantage of just for the hell of it. Spent the day travelling everywhere by NSE and the Underground. Ended up in Cockfosters for no other reason that it made us giggle. Teenagers eh?
80s cars are really lacking in 1:76 scale. So many cars I need are not available!
@@EverardJunction That's a shame. I've always wondered why the venerable Cortina Mk IV and V is so badly served in model form. Not too bad in 1/43, but other scales not a lot to choose from. Funny considering their popularity.
@@EverardJunction It's even worse in N, although there's a chap on eBay who 3d prints them.
Brilliant attention to detail, Keep up the good work
Absolutely fantastic. I have been watching your layout grow for some time and every time you just seem to get things so right.
Richard thank you so much for sharing your layout with us, it is a masterpiece.
A bit of ocd maybe i find your videos and commentary so useful for ideas for my own layout keep up the great work
Knowing the absolutely staggering amount of attention you pay to relevant details of everything including things most of us would never notice, like weeds in cracks, up against fences, litter bins etc. All the stuff we see every day and completely ignore. I reckon you will continue fettling and improving and i will still be happily watching your skills in about twenty years time. I still backtrack and marvel at your attention to details that we would never have given a second glance to until you explained what you have added and where you put it. I worked for BR 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, on Network South East. I recognise so much of what you have constructed and reckon if i could shrink down, i could work a couple of 12 hour shifts on Everard Junction, no problem. I still like all the detailed junk and rubbish you put into the canal and junk yard. Fantastic!!👍👍👍
Gorgeous work as always!
Just fabulous...I learn so much from your videos mate
You are an absolute master. Keep up your sublime work. 👍🏻👍🏻
Haha, you put the billboard up that was shown to you on RMweb 😃. Looking forward to watching this! I've watched it now; it's a modelling master-class. Amazing work
Absolutely stunning
All the bits and Bob's make all the difference brilliant 👏 thankyou for the tips and video
Amazing!! From the idea to the realization...
Really does tie off that area well. Love the night scenes
👌
As always you put up great content with plenty of tips and tricks to improve any one's layout. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe
Superb ! Another brilliant video. Looking forward to the canal scene. Thank you for taking the time to post these updates.
Great to see the station progress, not touched my 6x4 modern layout for a good 2 years now so given me some motivation to get back at it
Excellent work. Clever idea continuing the canal.
Been watching and admiring your attention to detail, hoping one day I could have a layout, well I ordered the hornby TT scale set and going to start my layout journey next year so be watching for more ideas
Great stuff! Good luck with the layout. Cheers
I love your attention to detail, you never disappoint. Keep up the good work.
Just brilliant; I love your attention to detail. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait for the next video. 😊
Absolutely amazing Richard. It looks so real! Nice one mate. - Nicholas.
