Registrace 27. 12. 2020
Hello and Welcome to Deansbury Town Model Railway. This channel is about the development of my OO guage model railway, set in the industrial North Midlands potteries area of England in the late 19050's and early 1960's. It features a selection of steam and diesel locomotives and a mix of freight and passenger trains. The layout features a number of kit built and increasing numbers of scratch build buildings using Scalescenes Kits and papers. Thanks for reading and enjoy the videos!

Deansbury Town Model Railway Introduction and Tour
Got to be one of the most original cameos ever…! Brilliant stuff and great modelling 👍
After just having tiled a roof of a model with individual tiles I will have to try this. I have and have used Inkscape and have a cutter.
Hi there, we met in the queue at Ally Pally. Hope you add more videos, as it looks like a nice layout. I am on RMWEB. if you search for "Layout in a shed Part 2", you'll find some pictures. I also have a section on the 3D print topic "Layout in a shed Part 2 - 3D printing". All the best.
Very well explained ‘madness’ of the method. Love the fact you mentioned that the back side of the cut out tiles look even better. Very cool looking scratch build. Cheerio
Grand !👏🏼👏🏼
Very nice job and as Cricut user I like anything that gives shortcuts like your video. Great to watch 👍Alan’s Trains @ Stockton Station
A very interesting and useful video. It's coming along very nicely too.
Just found your channel,I’m a huge Fred fan,and that is amazing.
What was that tool you used to cut the card rings? I haven't seen anything like it before.
That's a really great idea, the Pico back scenes are cost effective and frequently appear in layouts, so this technique makes them more individual and hugely improves the flat look of them.
Only recently found this channel, thanks to the links from Chandwell, and have loved seeing such wonderful modelling as Deansbury Town evolves - great work, and thank you!
What a stunning bit of modelling and a lovely homage to the man himself.
Nice scratch build. I am returning to the craft after many years away so gathering info. So much has changed. The Cricut Maker keeps popping up and I am looking at that now also. Used to cut each tile by hand in the olden days so a quicker solution that looks just as good is amazing.
Yes! I like it ,... Thanks for showing such great information. I am a big fan of Fred Dibbnah. He was a talented man. I watched and read about him. I m Badar from Pakistan.
Great videos! Yes the sign really does work and worth the effort!
fred was a great hard working man we all miss him.
What a fantastic technique! I've just used the same backscene sheets as they came out of the tube, and they look so flat and uninteresting compared with yours. I feel some alterations coming on......
How is Deansbury Town not seen anything for a long time
Great video and tips. I'm as builder really at the beginning. Still much to learn. So many thanks and keep on going I should say 😉👌👍
Brilliant
Hello. Thanks for posting the video. I am wondering how you figured the angle where the dormer roofs meet the intersecting roof. Would you be able to explain. Thanks
I think the honest answer is I referred to Michael's 'No maths roof' video on Chandwell!
hi mate was wondering if all was ok missing ur great vids
Hi, I've struggled to find the time recently with normal life taking over. I've made a bit of progress in the background
Yes, I liked that! I’m sure Fred did too. Lovely job.
Many thanks!
I've just binge watched all of your videos, very skilful and inspiring. I see there haven't been any more for quite a few months, I hope you're well and that Deansbury is still coming along
Thanks for asking. Unfortunately progress has slowed - general life pressures have got in the way in recent months. I hope to get back into things soon!
@@deansburytownmodelrailway5056 Totally understandable. Glad you are well and look forward to when you can get back to it
A way to make clouds is to paint blue then before it dries use cotton balls to take off the paint leaving the white background behind...
I don't know how he does it.
Fantastic work well done, a fantastic tribute to a great legend fred dibnah
Many Thanks!
Great video and build look forward to the chimney installing. Take ccare - Kevin
Thanks 👍
Fred was a legend great model and awesome tribute to Fred
Great modelling skills, the end result is fantastic , and a great tribute to the great Fred Dibnah !!
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it!
"Did I like it" you said ? No, I flipping loved it !! What a truly remarkable life-like cameo. You're seriously talented. It was intense watching it in case Fred fell . . . just the once !!!
Many Thanks!
Absolutely brilliant chimney. Totally worth the time and effort. You clearly have lots of patience. Q: How do you score the paper the wrap them round 90% corners without the paper splitting and showing white? I've tried water paints but struggle to get it to look perfect. Cheers
Thanks! The trick is to score the paper on the reverse before folding. Use a very blunt pin. Also important is good quality matt photo paper which resists splitting.
Excellent work - now to add Fred's trusty Land Rover at the foot of the chimney...
Cheers, the land rover project is on the to-do list!
Hi watched video with interest. You said buildings printed from Inkscape where do you get designs from ? And how easy is Inkscape to use. Thanks
Hi Derek, the designs I made myself and used Scalescenes.com brick papers for the coverings. Inkscape is reasonably easy to use if you a basic understanding of graphics or design software. It is free to download and use and there are loads of tutorials on you tube to cover the basics. For model building take a look at the channel Chandwell for some great intro videos. Thanks
Wowza, Great presentation! Really enjoyed watch this. Thanks for the background research used in calculating the geometry needed for the build. I know, back to school with all us modelers. At least we all get enjoyment out of it. Your construction methodology is spot on, always nice to see new tricks and tips to creating and building. Thanks Again! Don
Thanks for the kind comment, glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful!
Great video and great work. You nailed keep up the good work. Otto N Scaler
Many thanks!
Cool story, really enjoyed that! Thanks Don
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks
Hi Liam, Chimney structure looks great. Like the way you approach the use of the brick image manipulating it at the joins and corners. Been following Michael @ Chandwell and is nice to see structures in HO/OO scale. Like your thoughts regarding the station, platform and back scene. Keep up the great work, Don
Thanks Don, glad you found the channel hope you enjoy the videos
Brilliant work 👍💯👍
Cheers!
Nice job. I just had the same problem with copper tape failing - just after I'd glued the roof in, so I had to hack it off to fix the problem!
It’s a pain! I need to design in a better way to access the lights!
@@deansburytownmodelrailway5056 me too!
The buildings are getting better and better. Well done.
Thank you!
I always paint my building insides matt black (usually with aerosol) before I glue interior decoration and cover layers etc on. I've found that it helps enormously in preventing light bleed and "glowing walls". My construction material is usually foamboard though, but I expect it would work with card. Nice build it's all coming along nicely 👍
Thanks for the comment. I’ve not had a problem with the walls as they are 1 or 2mm card, it’s the joins, depending on the construction technique. I had to do something similar with the tops of the windows though the best I could do was a slither of black card, which did the trick!
The building looks impressive, although it is a small one. The great impression is given by the angles of the walls and roof parts. The interior is very classy, the light makes it perfect. All the best! Valentin
Many Thanks for the kind comments Valentin, its really nice to hear your feedback. The town my model is loosely based on features many smaller buildings, and I don't have a lot of space to let one big building take over the whole scene. May Thanks!
Superb build! Am inspired to use your and Michael's(Chandwell) methodes to make Danish buildings myself. 👍
I'm really pleased to hear it! If you check out the Scalescenes Facebook page there are various non-UK modellers - they are very versatile as a lot of the 'local' feel is in the details. good luck 👍
Superb, Liam!! I love this building. Using the holes from the eaves as templates for cutting the bricks - absolute genius! One for my toolkit, that! :)
Cheers Michael - I'm still amazed they end up looking close to what imagine before I start building! My scenes are never going to be as grand as yours, so trying to focus on some of the smaller details!
Fantastic, thanks for sharing
You are welcome, Glad you enjoyed it and many thanks for the kind comment
Nice work. The interior details really give the structure a sense of depth and realism.
Many Thanks - yes its really effective and surprising how much it adds
Building looks great. Love the window detail you’re getting with the Cricut. I’ve embarked on trying to make a Metcalfe-style building using the machine and was wondering what size card you are using with the Cricut? I have the Explore Air 2 and though it says it can handle material under 2mm I’m struggling with 1.3mm and 1mm card. Any suggestions on number of passes and pressure settings? I’ve got a lot of comments on your build as I’m attempting many of the same ideas, but I don’t want to hijack your comments too much. :) Cheers, once again, great build!
Hi I'm mostly using 1mm greyboard (or chipboard I think in Cricut or US language!) I have been using the Balsa - 3/32" (2.4 mm) but I have the maker machine and use the knife blade for these cuts. Using 2mm even with the knife blade takes around 8 passes - its not quick but is saves your fingers and you can do other things while it is cutting! If you want to chat more I have a Facebook page - Deansbury Town - happy to share what I've learnt on the Cricut so far....
Superb modelling Sir, looks amazing a quality build,
Many thanks, I’m pleased with how it’s come out
Nice job on the whole building, particularly the additional brick detail.
Cheers, it’s surprising what effects you can get with brick paper and a little paint. Thanks!
