I have to say, whenever I see your videos in my sub inbox, I get so happy. There's not enough model railroad youtubers that bring such good video quality as you. You bring very good tips, and even though I'm not building anything, I find it very interesting and helpful for the future.
***** EverardJunction when I retire and get round to building a railway, its going to resemble Everard Junction in more ways than one ;-) Superb videos, very motivating and enjoyable to watch. I went to middle school in the late 1970s with a railway going right by the school fields, and this is a similar era.
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else trying to find out building model railroad try Panlarko Amazing Railroad Planner (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my partner got amazing success with it.
Absolutely Brilliant Richard. Your attention to detail is quite amazing. I love the way you adapt odd bits, such as the sprues and solder. Definitely some great ideas. I would imagine there is some food for thought for everyone in this video. I know that I have found it most helpful. Well done Richard, can't wait for the next instalment. Kind regards, and Many thanks for sharing your skills. John.
Without a doubt the best and most informative modeler on RUclips. This series in particular has answered so many questions I have about how certain things work. I always look forward to the next update. Thank you Richard for all the time and effort you put into every video you do, you are inspiring a new generation of modelers.
That is brilliant, such a clever idea of using bits and bobs that are lying around, in particular the solder for hoses and the webbing for use as sort of drainage area.
I just found your channel by randomly browsing youtube and only now realized I've spent the whole night binge watching this series. The layout looks beautiful and your attention to detail is impressive as hell.
Really cool fueling and unloading point 😄 One thing I'd add is that having seen one where aerospace fuel was unloaded at an aero-engine site in derby, they always had lots of Earthing points to connect the wagons up to to prevent sparks. The guys doing the unloading of the fuel made it very clear that the whole thing needed to be throughly Earthed. There were also a lot of the unloading couplings for wagons to be connected to to discharge into. They said this was because some would become defective and they always had spare points to connect to.
Very well thought out and the fact that you scratch built all the pumps and hoses and all the extra detailing makes this part of your layout a lot more realistic looking, you really do have some great ideas not just for this section but for the whole of your layout.
This is one of the most exciting little projects for modelling small details I have seen in ages anywhere...I love the fueling spots and the use of 'odds and ends' - especially the 'cotton buds' (UK) or 'q tips (US -which are occasionally known as "ear-picks' in Australia... I will be using your video as inspiration for my own layout if that is not too bold a theft of your - admittedly great - ideas. Thank You for your videos...I hope you continue with them into the future. I understand you are starting a rebuild soon so I am avidly watching...
I bumped into your channel by accident, I am into military scale modelling, a lot of transferable skills between the hobbies, I must say thank you and well done, your attention to detail is amazing and the effort you go into making your layout as realistic as possible is astounding. Keep up the great work!
+JamesStJunction May be you could answer this please, I have wondered for years do the UK fleet run on white diesel like our cars or Red Diesel, are the subject to the same tax as car drivers? Thanks
+sandydogy They use Number 2 fuel oil. Not as heavy as bunker oil used in marine diesels but it is of a higher viscosity than regular diesel used by cars and trucks. It's the most viscous you can get without requiring pre-heating to lower the viscosity before combustion. Basically the same as heating oil but with a few additional additives. Numbers 3 and 4 are used in oil burning installations and require pre-heating. Bunker oil used in marine diesels starts at number 4 and goes on to residual type fuel oil at numbers 5 and 6. 6 is basically black tar ad requires heating to 220'C before you can even atomise it.
I have to say.. I envy your skill and art of designing, building, changing your own layout and the attention to detail.. Great videos in this series.. Unfortunately, I don't have the space, time, money, skill, and artistry to make my own layout.. Is a dream for me.. Ever since I was young..
Wonderful video yet again. I have yet to develop the same attention to detail as you, as everything you model makes sense logically and aesthetically! Looking forward to the rest of the series, as they are always very informative. Regards, William
Difficult work to accomplish here. Many variables to encounter along the way (as always). A nice on going presentation thus far, and very interested to see the outcome. Keep it up Richard!
So looking forward to the next video. Such great advice for someone new to building a layout. Been collecting models for years. In fact I probably have too many locos yet I can't stop buying them. Love them. One day hopefully I'll have a place to build my own. Love your vids. So much detail and they are so helpful.
Splendid video as well as ALL your videos. SO informative and instructional. The ideas you've come up with for trackside details...nothing short of genius. Keep them coming cause I'm going to be borrowing a bunch of your ideas for my own layout!
Watching how you made these has inspired to build my own in n gauge. I think using desoldering braid will substitute for the drains and using black electrical wire for the uprights will be used to power the LEDs . I think I will get so much more satisfaction making instead of buying. Thank you for spending your time helping people like me

Brilliant. I really do enjoy your videos and the little hints that you provide. Thanks for sharing and So looking forward to what you are going to do with the remainder.
I have added this video to my favorites list to use again for reference when it comes time to finish off the fueling station on my layout. Excellent how to.
Hi Richard. I'm really enjoying the videos and your standard of work. Two small points, having worked at Reading Depot for 15 years as a fitter, the tank you identified on the heritage DMU is in fact the vacuum reservoir ☺, and the trailer and centre cars on the heritage units also had fuel tanks for the oil fired heater blowers. Keep up the good work 👷
Some really great ideas, loving the attention to detail. I never realised there were so many aspects to a fueling point. I look forward to seeing it once finished. I may have to try and incorporate one into my layout now ahaa! Cheers, Joe.
Excellent video Richard, I got the notification of it whilst at a model railway exhibition and I nearly left early in order to watch it! Lol. Keep up the good work mate. All the best Howard.
Another great video. Just given me some ideas for my own layout as I finish off a small servicing depot. Might try and use some N gauge relay cabinets as fuel pumps as you have done. Good idea using the solder for hoses - for N Gauge I just use the sleave from wiring off cuts but it can be a pain to get it to look realistic. Cheers once again for the brilliant video.
The yard is coming alive. I would not have thought of all the things that you have. I bought mine and just stuck it on the layout. The solder is a great idea for the hoses. I used wire and its a pain. Next time I will have to use your idea. Scott
Another marvellous and insightful video which all viewers will benefit from. The only criticism I could make is that during the speeded up shots of making the fueling point, at no point did you have a cup of tea - and lets face it, you earned one! Joking aside, many thanks for sharing - loads of modelling inspiration!
Always a great watch, all my buckling I told you about has all gone back to normal now and trains run again. I have now added some more spaces in between the tracks. Look up Peters Bay on facebook nothing as good as yours but worth a look as it Western region 1973 ish
Nice modelling! The wall erected around the fuel tank is called a bund, or bunding wall. I've built a fair few - none, unfortunately, for the railways. What is important is the capacity of the bund. It has to be as great as that of the storage tank. Thus, if your storage tank holds 2000 gallons, the bund has to be large enough to hold that quantity without spillage, plus 5% to allow for heavy rain or high wind causing spillage. How's that for nit-picking/ ;-)
Great vids, just caught up with them all. Hoping to start posting my layout soon, it's based in 2001 on WCML. Really want to tackle the ohle!!! 😳 found an old numbers book from 1989, there's a great pic of a 7 car HST set with an old Intercity power car at one and a new one at the other, but it's the new one with the extended yellow cabs. Will try and send or post it on here. Keep the vids coming, very useful, especially the ballasting ones 😉
Hi Richard, in fuel points I've seen there is often very dirty petrol company signage - perhaps the out of date BP logo or the old ESSO logo. Very faded, very dirty. As always, thanks for taking the time.
Very, very nice indeed. Just a comment from experience. I am reluctant to use track rubbers as they shed microscopic granules into point blades and onto the track. This, I have discovered to my cost, over a period of time, can creep into motors. The answer? The inside of a cornflake or cereal packet cut into small squares. Many of us have been doing this at exhibitions for years!! Have you thought of drainage for the rooves on the re-fuelling canopies? I believe there should be a trough through the centre section and a down pipe to a floor drain. Cheers, Bob
trainmanbob Thanks Bob. I don't like the track rubbers, I'll give the stiff card a try. The fuel points still need more detail such as guttering and cleaning equipment.
In a way i wish i had never found your channel only because its brought back me desire to build a layout sadly i do not have the room. love your videos though
Great Video! i have a similar setup here to you, and so far have the bachmann scenecraft fuel station, and i was just going to put that in the middle of some hardstanding, however this has given me lots of inspiration to do much more Cheers
Hiya Richard, love the video, the attention to detail is as always fantastic, but how will the diesel get through the solid solder pipe? I ran a small fleet of diesel trucks with eight diesel generators mounted on them for film and TV work back in the 80s/90s and this is so close to how that was, plus and minus bits for type. Bund walls are a pain but if a coupling let go... I had four tanks at Elstree Film Studios when I was based there, two for each red and white derv but you would only have red, a lot less fuss. I love your relaxed but informative style with great camera work, some of the you tube channels make me sea sick... But you plan your shots and give us a harmonised film full of interest and teaching. There are only three or four channels I can say this about including Charlie who led me to you and from you onwards. Thank you for everything you bring us it is much admired and used.
Regarding the fuel tank it would be okay to omit the wall round the fuel tank. Nowadays a double-walled tank would be used with no retaining wall around the tank. (It is a big hazard to have an open surface of a flammable liquid). You could maybe consider to add a couple of pipes or nozzles on top of the tank for more realism; the tank should be fitted with a vent, same size as the inlet, through which air escapes during filling of the tank and air enters during emptying. And maybe a ladder to enter the top of the tank. Furthermore some small pipes where pressure gages and level gauges are fitted into. Besides that, you have made a very interesting series on building your model railroad.
It would be fine for a modern model, however his railway is modelled as a 1980's/1990's (i believe) railway in the Uk, which creates a different look to a modern fuelling point
Hi mate Just want to say You have to get a Bachmann class 03 there fantastic. U will not regret it. (I recommend the weathered Version but if u want to save a few £ and do it yourself don't) thanks for the series is I'm loving it keep it up thanks.
Good progress. Re the fuel arriving....you could always pretend that this arrives by tanker lorry and is piped to the tanks. Nice little fuelling stations, did you consider the highly rated Knightswing kit? I was originally going to plonk a Bachmann one on my TMD, but the knightswing ones looks the business, so may kit build that (now that I have got a taste for weathering!! lol) Looking good Richard, plenty of wee tips and ideas for when Dean Park TMD is started! So thanks. Dave
Another insperational video Richard I have just got my magnets ref video 6 and 7 Keep up the good work Kind regards Ralph P's I think you need another or a larger fuel storage tank
Just watched fuel point video, your fuel storage tank will need to have vent installed on top of the storage tank as the fuel is pumped from the fuel wagon that has been shunted into position. If no vent the storage tank will simple rupture while fuel is being pumped in. You can google vent systems on fuel tank storage facilities and also have relief valve incase vent is blocked with debris etc. Other than that layout is amazing
I have to say, whenever I see your videos in my sub inbox, I get so happy.
There's not enough model railroad youtubers that bring such good video quality as you. You bring very good tips, and even though I'm not building anything, I find it very interesting and helpful for the future.
***** I agree.
***** I am with you 100%.

It's so interesting listening to you talk and explain how you arrived at your decisions. You're so knowledgeable.
Another excellent detailed scenic how-to video.

Thank you. I really appreciated your description of how you determined what was needed to populate your fueling space.
Looks fantastic... the solder for hoses idea is great... will definitely have to borrow that idea :)
Brilliant ideas. And shows lots of thought
Another fantastic job ... well done.
I bumped into your channel by accident, I am into military scale modelling, a lot of transferable skills between the hobbies, I must say thank you and well done, your attention to detail is amazing and the effort you go into making your layout as realistic as possible is astounding.

Hi Richard, just making a few additions makes the yard come to life. Another great video giving us all ideas for our layouts!
+JamesStJunction May be you could answer this please, I have wondered for years do the UK fleet run on white diesel like our cars or Red Diesel, are the subject to the same tax as car drivers? Thanks

Lovely introduction I love the effect when the coaches pass by.
very impressive, the yard is coming along great thanks for the ideas

Love your vids. So much detail and they are so helpful.
I'm actually learning stuff here about railways, the not miniature ones. You know your shit dude, well done.
+dinaatjuh Thanks
Terrific Series! I like the way you've planned and implimented the whole project. Very nicely done!
Splendid video as well as ALL your videos. SO informative and instructional. The ideas you've come up with for trackside details...nothing short of genius. Keep them coming cause I'm going to be borrowing a bunch of your ideas for my own layout!
This looks great, so realistic when you move the DMU or tanker in beside it.
Looking fab, as always.
Once again Rich, another well detailed video.
The sidings is coming along nicely. Cheers.

Great video as always Richard...love the use of solder for the hoses...very innovative!
WOWOW you go! You are really active this summer, your like the Sporticus of Model railroading! lol
I have added this video to my favorites list to use again for reference when it comes time to finish off the fueling station on my layout. Excellent how to.

I agree I don't suppose there will be a caversham update soon will there.
***** Thanks mate. I had a drink and whole slice of cake after I finished filming :)
luke young I haven't really done much to be honest although I will post an update in the next few days :)
Love hearing your thought process during this. Excellent video and result (so far) :D
Absolutely amazing, thank you. Oh, how I envy you your loft space ..... and, of course, your budget.
Always a great watch, all my buckling I told you about has all gone back to normal now and trains run again. I have now added some more spaces in between the tracks. Look up Peters Bay on facebook nothing as good as yours but worth a look as it Western region 1973 ish
Amazing .. very inspiring :) Thanks for sharing :)
Amazing. You could add a flicker effect to one of the LEDs to give that annoying strip light flicker effect. A great video, very inspirational
Looking fantastic
Great video, now where's that loft ladder. Very inspirational. Thanks Richard.
Wow...really great update..thanks for sharing and keep up the great work... Lance
More superb work mate, keep it up! Love these videos, Jack
Nice modelling!
The wall erected around the fuel tank is called a bund, or bunding wall. I've built a fair few - none, unfortunately, for the railways. What is important is the capacity of the bund.

I use Hydraulic buffer stops and those. Hydraulic ones are cool but those hen you paint them are great value and they look amazing!
Superb detail mate
Hi Richard yet another splendid video. By the way the wall around the diesel tank is called a bund wall.
Neil Collin Thanks, thought it had a name but couldn't remember.
Great vids, just caught up with them all. Hoping to start posting my layout soon, it's based in 2001 on WCML. Really want to tackle the ohle!!! 😳 found an old numbers book from 1989, there's a great pic of a 7 car HST set with an old Intercity power car at one and a new one at the other, but it's the new one with the extended yellow cabs. Will try and send or post it on here. Keep the vids coming, very useful, especially the ballasting ones 😉
Hi Richard, in fuel points I've seen there is often very dirty petrol company signage - perhaps the out of date BP logo or the old ESSO logo. Very faded, very dirty. As always, thanks for taking the time.
mattoxic Thanks, I've got plenty of extra details to add to them. Will do some more research and see if I can find some signs.
Very, very nice indeed. Just a comment from experience. I am reluctant to use track rubbers as they shed microscopic granules into point blades and onto the track. This, I have discovered to my cost, over a period of time, can creep into motors. The answer? The inside of a cornflake or cereal packet cut into small squares. Many of us have been doing this at exhibitions for years!!
Have you thought of drainage for the rooves on the re-fuelling canopies? I believe there should be a trough through the centre section and a down pipe to a floor drain.
Cheers, Bob
trainmanbob Thanks Bob. I don't like the track rubbers, I'll give the stiff card a try. The fuel points still need more detail such as guttering and cleaning equipment.
In a way i wish i had never found your channel only because its brought back me desire to build a layout sadly i do not have the room. love your videos though
Another brilliant video thanks - I wish I had your skills...!
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Hello once again, this was a good video you offer food for thought I had not considered waste oil so that's something to put in. Cheers for that. guy
Nicely done!! I added some fire hydrants at my fueling point, just in case of an accident. :)
Great Video! i have a similar setup here to you, and so far have the bachmann scenecraft fuel station, and i was just going to put that in the middle of some hardstanding, however this has given me lots of inspiration to do much more
Cheers
thanks for yet another great video!
Nice work!!!
Good video again, always use your video to build up my knowledge and skills for building model railway, many thanks again
I like the detail work, well done. Just for info the little wall round the fuel tank is called a bund.
Hiya Richard, love the video, the attention to detail is as always fantastic, but how will the diesel get through the solid solder pipe? I ran a small fleet of diesel trucks with eight diesel generators mounted on them for film and TV work back in the 80s/90s and this is so close to how that was, plus and minus bits for type. Bund walls are a pain but if a coupling let go... I had four tanks at Elstree Film Studios when I was based there, two for each red and white derv but you would only have red, a lot less fuss.

Hi mate
Just want to say You have to get a Bachmann class 03 there fantastic. U will not regret it. (I recommend the weathered Version but if u want to save a few £ and do it yourself don't) thanks for the series is I'm loving it keep it up thanks.
Good progress. Re the fuel arriving....you could always pretend that this arrives by tanker lorry and is piped to the tanks. Nice little fuelling stations, did you consider the highly rated Knightswing kit? I was originally going to plonk a Bachmann one on my TMD, but the knightswing ones looks the business, so may kit build that (now that I have got a taste for weathering!! lol)
Looking good Richard, plenty of wee tips and ideas for when Dean Park TMD is started! So thanks.
Dave
DaveClass47 Thanks Dave. I considered the knightwing kit but I've seen it on so many layouts I decided to scratchbuild my own. Cheers
Great video. Thanks.
Looks really excellent. Just out of interest what has been your favourite part of the yard build?
sub39h Probably making the fuel points, but I also enjoy ballasting it.
I just love you videos,
I can't wait for the next one... any idea when ???
Another insperational video Richard I have just got my magnets ref video 6 and 7
Keep up the good work
Kind regards
Ralph
P's I think you need another or a larger fuel storage tank
Ralph Lees I have another tank which I may squeeze into the area. Don't want it too cluttered though.
Just watched fuel point video, your fuel storage tank will need to have vent installed on top of the storage tank as the fuel is pumped from the fuel wagon that has been shunted into position. If no vent the storage tank will simple rupture while fuel is being pumped in. You can google vent systems on fuel tank storage facilities and also have relief valve incase vent is blocked with debris etc. Other than that layout is amazing
hast du gut gemacht tankstelle sehr real ,die weichen mit mechanik und kabelkanal .der tank gealtert ,sieht schon gut aus!
Have you done a finished video yet ? Great ideas as always
