@@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt That would be good. Your modelling really is first class, but a bit of chatter always makes the video more watchable in the end. Lovely work though!
I have road markings to add to a road and might make a small car park so really useful vid thank you 👍. Also waiting on my sponge walls to arrive ordered some a few days ago 👍
I like your roads not being a uniform colour. Bus-stops at railway stations, of course, have a high duration, so may show more witness of engine oil, and tyre indents
Hi, sorry for the late reply - I’ve been away. I did the parking lots in exactly the same way, using a scale ruler to make the lots 2.4m wide and 4.8m long (in real terms 31.5mm wide and 63mm wide for OO gauge). Then used the masking tape and applied the paint using the sponge method. Finally toned down the lines with a bit of weathering powder
Thanks for sharing enjoyed this one, not sure what era you are but do you require double lines at junction give way (if early then not) what was the distance between the lines please. I will be giving your technique a go, thanks. Regards Barry..
Thanks Barry. The era is a bit of a mishmash! Generally early 60’s so not sure if double lines were around then. Also not sure if double yellows were introduced back then?- I’ll have to do some research!! The lines are 4m long with a 2m gap (in scale) which is roughly 53mm lines and 26mm gaps 👍
The sponging is a great technique; I never considered doing that before!
Thanks. It does produce quite a good effect 👍
No council worker could paint lines that neat ! Have a few beers then try again with the lights off !
Haha. Always up for a few beers!
Your work is inspiring as always.
Thanks 🙏🏻
So that’s how it’s done!
I’m sure there are other ways but I do like the finish you get with a sponge 👍
Looks fantastic, nice job
Thank you very much!
Yay well done grandad!!! #ponygirlevie 😂😂
Thank you 😊
Very nice work!
Thanks very much 👍
Speak to us Grandad. Speak to us.
Haha. Watch this space…. You never know!! 😊

Just subscribed. Your detailing is amazing. I'm going to look to see how you do the pavements because they are superb
Thanks and welcome 👍

Thank you. Look forward to seeing how you get on! 👍
Excellent work. Don’t forget the double yellow lines on the hill next! 😊
Thank you. Mmmm, I don’t think they will be as straightforward!!

Thank you. Yes, maybe some more grimy spots could be added to that area! 👍
How lucky you are to have a grandfather who started all this for you. What I would have given for the same!
I am the grandad!! Been collecting for years and finally have had the chance to build a layout 👍
@@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt I mean no disrepect! as I am of grandpa age (74). I must compliment grandad himself then, for the fine work done!
@@rlam8805 very kind words. Thank you
Well done, awesome. Right on track…..🚂
Nice video can you show how you did the parking lot lines please?

@@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt Many thanks for info..
Looks worth the effort. Are thise pavements done in the same way you dud the cobble stone around the signal box?
Thank you. Yes, the same method using the 3mm XPS foam boards 👍
@@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt not sure I have the patience to do that, might stick to the wills sheets
Miniatures that are taken to this degree always makes me unreasonably happy. Really beautiful. What era is this scene, 40s/50s?
Thank you. Maybe late 50’s 👍
