  • Well after quite a bit of work I've managed to get the next section of scenery going for the station side of the layout. There is of course plenty of small details left to add here but overall I'm very happy with the progress so far. I'll be taking a break from this section for a while and continue to focus on the station itself. Cheers

      It’s a masterpiece. Just hire Everard junction for the set for a film and do the rest in a studio. Save a fortune, nobody would notice as the detail is perfect. It’s a guide to anyone seeking perfection.

    Looks so alive with the cars and the multiple trains running at different speeds.. Never seen anything so good. Love the Ford Capri disappearing under the bridge at the end of the intro section. Canal water is so murky - but maybe you could of had the bicycle and shopping trolley in a position where they jutted out of the top of the water and were partly visible as is the case sometimes at canals. There was a row of shops like this under the old Snow Hill station in Birmingham, now mostly gone.

    A memory of London in the eighties for me was band concert posters, particularly on walls under bridges. The Clash, the Specials, UB40, Pretenders, XTC. They were everywhere, fresh and half torn. Excellent work as always, and very entertaining viewing.

    I absolutely love the sodium street lighting, almost gone over the last few years. My mum remembers it coming in around Croydon in 1938 and how it transformed the look of the streets. Remembering my regular journeys to London past Brixton in the 1970s and 80s I would just add the ubiquitous purple flowering Buddleia sprouting from the brickwork and pigeons on the bridge edges. Keep up the great work

  • @meruliouslacrimens5154

    Meticulous magnificent marvelness. You are happy with how it looks, we are absolutely staggered. I remember well the old council men laying pavements with their buckets of sand and enormous larger than life mallets for tapping down, all worn down on one side. There was one bridge i drove under on the trains where the grafitti artists had obviously hung over the bridge and painted their "Work" upside down, always made me laugh that one.

    I have no interest in as a hobby with train set and all, but when I stumbled upon this video , I thought , “ what going on in England then…” and this was without reading the title. I had to stop and watch the whole right through. This is simply epic. I left England for the USA over 42 years a go , and when I saw style cavalier, and the Sherpa van I was astounded. Seven if I didn’t come back to this sight, don’t worry , I will, I had to sub and like. The planning and the attention to detail mate is awesome! Nothing like the 70’s! I will be coming back to this channel periodically….as long as you are loving what you do, people will love and appreciate it, some of us just don’t have that time or the patience. God Bless!

    Excellent video highlighting how it really looked in the eighties, it has triggered a memory, about my local council, two or three flags were removed to do a gas pipe repair and the flags would be replaced with tarmac. Another thing that moved councils in the North of England from hewn stone flags to tarmac was they became lethal in winter and you were often helping someone up after a nasty fall. On some flags a green slime developed that was as bad as ice, especially around the base of leaking fall pipes were moss then grass would accumulate. I was often amazed at how these 4 x 2 ft behemoths were hewn from local stone quarries and were almost flat on the surface, when lifted it was usually by a crew of two as they were two inch thick!

    I've been following your build for years and it never fails to impress me. Growing up in the 80s in England I can really relate to what you're creating. The area where you're putting greenery across from the shops would lend itself perfectly to a market, it's the one thing that always screams 80s to me and would love to see you creating it.

Your videos are always something to look forward to.

    I remember, back in the day, our greengrocer still had his balance scales and mechanical cash register out back, and would pull them out when there was a powercut. We'd being shopping in the dark, but he was the only store able to trade! Definitely looks good for the scene, probably needs a mailbox and a couple of phoneboxes, and a workcrew over a manhole with their little red/white striped tent 😁

    Your layout always amazes me as you get many of the details correct, most show layouts fall down on simple details on a 1980's or 1990's era layout by usually putting incorrect vehicles or machinery from the 2000's on the layout.

      Cheers Graham! My goal has always been to encourage people to give the hobby a go or get back into it. Glad you enjoyed it 👍

      Just had a thought, I've not seen any motorbikes on your layout. Maybe a scene of a guy on a bike in leathers talking to someone outside a chip shop

    You have such an eye for details, this is exactly how I remember London when I was there, (quite a few years ago).

    Level of detail & attention to realism is insane! The road surface looks exactly like the state of the main road outside my home!

    Your layouts have a terrific realism aspect to them. Heaps of human interest. I like how the holes you drilled in the concrete retaining wall look just like excess ground water drainage relief for the embankment. I hope you can retain them as a feature. Good show !

    Masterful Richard,
    When watching I can imagine such great ideas for one or more areas on my layout. This time I love the full wall billboard. That's something I can do!
    An idea for you. Trash items in the murky canal. Because you placed the debris along the base then covered it with two layers of water effects is the key error. To allow your scatter be seen first pour your clear base coat and harden over.
    Once ready for your second coat, set your debris with an ultra thin coat of adhesive atop the first coat. The debris MUST be visually vertically upright. Let dry.
    Now add multiple thin layers of tinted water effects. Let the debris cut the surface. Then with the final Hodge Podge layer you can demonstrate water breaches of water flow by trash.
    O.K. that's next time! Can this canal flow be saved with urban trash. YES!
    Go back to both canals. Have prepared trash ready, weathered, and able. Things like lawn racks, shopping trolleys (a.k.a. carts), tires, pinball machines, ATM machine, (I don't know if Brits play basketball or not) a hoop basket still attached to the backboard & post, and/or one of your busted street lights (with utility pole). With a micro drill or sharp hobby knife, cut a shallow hole into the water effects. Insert the new debris into the canal using Hodge Podge as adhesive and a wake maker around the obstruction.
    In any event, your GrandDad is righteously proud of this entire layout effort you have succeed building.

    Wow! What a fantastic video. Well worth the wait. I have a “no through road” backing on to the railway and was vexed as to how to block the road off. You have given me the inspiration I needed to solve that problem. The whole area is just brilliant thank you so much for sharing. Roy.
