I think this wee project has been one of your best ‘cameo’ builds. The LED will be dimmed I’m sure in time, but that really is superb. Love the ‘To Platforms 1&2’ arrow sign. Absolutely spot on 😎
TNE has truly made his grand entrance. The steps in the subway remind me that this build is proceeding, one step at a time. Waiting to see what the new and improved Tyne Dock Station will look like . Is there now going to be pressure to upgrade Newhassel Station? Janet and Bill give our best to you and Mrs T. By the way Janet had stage three breast cancer in 2003 & 2023. She is doing great. Bill and Janet from California
Good morning Bill & Janet. Newhassle will get its upgrade eventually. but i will have to choose the way i go about it very differently. as it should not like Newcastle Central. dont forget we have Little Haven to do next. that should be a simple easy station. That is wonderful news, give Janet my sincere and best wishes. Laura is doing well and healing nicely. but it will take time to fully recover. take care, thank again for commenting. cheer's for now Tony & Laura.
Thanks a bunch! Martyn. its coming along nicely at the moment. started the second entrance today. just need to fit the railings. same time next week. cheer's for now Tony.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you are a genius Tony. There's a part on my layout where I'd like to build a station for my DMUs to stop at but because it is in a tight spot, 4 inches above the main level, there was no where to build an entrance or exit to it. Your work here has given me a great idea. I hope you don't mind me using it. Thanks for a great video.
Alfie my friend. I am glad that these ideas are getting used. because it is the ideal solution for you to have the entrance like this built into a wall. it is prototypical, there are many stations built like that. thanks again for commenting. all the best my friend Tony.
Glad you enjoyed it Brian. I am sure some of the rivet counters wont think the same. Hi Fiving the driver is not appropriate behaviour LOL. take care my friend. Tony.
Well Tony once again you made somthing difficult seem easy Mr Refabricator has done it again. Love the new entries. Next time you should fist bump the driver well my friend stay safe Stephen
Hello Stephen my friend. i will have to be a bit careful when fist bumping. i could get done for criminal damage if i knock a loco of the tracks. lol. take care buddy. Tony.
Hello Chris & Jules. thank you for commenting. the underpass has really worked out well. the other one around the corner was a bit easier to do, and that now is complete. platform and ballasting next. hopefully we can start on the station in a couple of weeks. cheer's for now my friend. best wishes Tony & Laura.
Absolutely fantastic job, Tony, looking forward to you doing the other entrance, and more on the Platform onwards and upwards, all the best to you and your family.
Many thanks! John. there so much to do. hopefully once the arch and platform is done we can start on the station itself. lots of thinking and planning to do for that building...until then cheer;s for now Tony.
As to your work on the new station entrance tunnels, well it certainly is a bit different. Really nicely worked out mate. And your bannister construction, certainly gives it all a lift. Now there's an idea!
Hello again, was that a lightbulb moment, thanks again. cheer's for now Tony. P.S some stations had lifts. but they were only used by the porters. Mail Etc.
CZcams in its wisdom decided to show me an ad for the Lotus Eletre with your latest vid. I am not sure if either of us aspire to such a 'fine' piece of automotive engineering, but if you or I had a spare 90/120k around Tony, we could always dream!
Absolutely Chazzy. there is nothing wrong with dreaming. dreaming sometimes bring out the best in us. thank you for your kind comment. take care and have a great weekend. cheer's for now Tony.
Great again Tony, to make the sand stones standing apart from each other you could gibebgrainnorvcolour variation by yellowish, redish, or brownish ink from Citardel - a bit like a wash but with an sharp end right at the stones edge to definte it's line in a sharper way. Sending best wishes from Berlin, Christian
Great Tony, looking up into that subway, I can almost smell that mildew and stale cigarette smoke odour, that these tunnels made all their own. Very convincing it sets off the olfactory memories!!!!!!
Hello Peter. the ideas are flooding in for this build. and its the finishing touch's that will bring these little gems to life. i am hoping that this build will be on the same par as the other stations. and i think we are getting there in that respect. cheer's for now Tony.
Excellent as always Tony. Great build and construction a real jigsaw puzzle, it certainly transforms that area and the lighting is just right. Just like always been there from beginning. Soon with all these hidden features you are going to forget what is on this stunning layout! My advert was for a Makita 10 inch hand held circular saw, so was my goodness it’s going to be major surgery ahead - makes me wonder about profiling and use of AI on examining video content/ audience etc! All the best and take care. Stephen
Hello Stephen, very true what you have mentioned in the comment. it will become very hard soon to remember what i did where. but i am sure that all the followers will remind where i had put all these hidden details. many thanks again for commenting. stay safe buddy. best regards, to you and Celia....cheer's Tony & Laura.
That really is a masterclass in modeling, love your vision Tony, yes I agree it is a lot of work but it's so worth it. The entrances look superb. I love the way you do your handrails they look second to none. It was a bit of a shock to learn the entrances and the subway on the platform were not connected 😂😂 but hayho. The light in entrance is prefect just the right amount of light. Looking forward to seeing the entrance finished, and what's next for Tyne Dock. Down here in South Devon, I unfortunately have been a bit under the weather, and had quite a rough week, managed to get a appointment yesterday with a doctor (yes I know) and I've managed to pick up chest infection so it's antibiotics for me. Hopefully I'll start to feel better soon. Stay well both of you really enjoying the build see you soon Eddy xx
Good evening Eddy. interesting thought. connecting the entrances would have been a lot of work with no gain. unless i added mirrors to see the full lengths of the tunnels. i did watch the Paradise Beyond with the railway, great little episode. thanks again for your kind comments. take care and look after yourselves. cheer's Tony.
Who's making a grand entrance then lol. Great ideas and scratch building skills shown Tony, attention to detail is superb and your right it looks like the entrances have always been there and the railings just finish off a fantastic build so well done for that. Looking forward to when you start the builds upon the platform, what could be better to round off my birthday with a stiff drink and watching you Tony on another wonderful build on `Tony North Eastern` so cheers and many thanks Barry..😁👍🎂🍻
Happy Birthday * BARRY * lots of celebrating this weekend. a grand entrance i am not sure at the moment but i have line up a few guest's for when the station is finished. shields has Mary Poppins, and the Arkwright twins. and Tyne Dock wont be any different. but who. that is the question. anyway have a great weekend my friend. cheer's for now Tony & Laura.
Good evening Clive mate. its something a bit different and it looks like its always been there. this is an ideal situation in you dont have space for a grand station building. cheer's for now Tony.
Good morning Malcom, next time hopefully the platform will be fitted. and maybe start the ballasting. so yes we are moving on the right direction. many thanks again. Tony.
Absolutely wonderful build. There is no end to your talent as a scratch builder. It just happens that you have the necessary materials at hand. That can only come from years of experience. I wonder how many courting couples will use the tunnels when the lights go out. Martin. (Thailand)
Good evening Martin, Your right picking the right materials for the right job. and a bit of luck. thanks again for commenting. cheer's for now Tony. Courting couples. cheer's for the idea.
Hi Tony, this reminds me so.much of the entrance of Burwood station in NSW Australia, naughty but i remember having cigarettes in the tunnel before going to school lol! So enjoying this build Tony , love the detailing, just brillant 😎😎😎regards Marc
@@TONYNORTHEASTERN i had to look myself, she has changed so much 45years ago , some old photos i found , but not the entrance i remember, progress stands for no one 😐
Good morning to you Nicholas. thank you they do fit in well and they have save me a lot of space where the old station use to be. so its a win win situation. because i can have at least two new buildings now. take care my friend. Tony.
Ah yes, the actual build vid shows the pain and skills involved that the FB teaser does not. The little blue railing barriers at the ticket window are infact as you surmise for crowd control. All together, another great vist to "the Railway". Arthur
Cheer's Arthur. so i was right about the people calming in front of the ticket booth. i just can not wait to add that to the station. cheer's for now my friend. Tony.
I think the arches look very effective. I hope the passengers appreciate all of your work. I expect Thora Herd will be offering Mr What's Is Name some tripe and onions from a cooking pot, perched on Smokey Joe's bicycle propped up against the wall outside the station. I dare say he will be consulting with Bamber Gasgoine, following his careful inspection of the number of stones used and making sure the cement is left in place. Hopefully the Vicars wife will not be to peeved if she takes a tumble, and drops her bundle of Joe Grundy's second hand socks, because Mrs Simms accidently bumps into her, after one to many, as she scuttles through the archway.
Good evening Adi, maybe when the station is done. then it may end up in a magazine. mind you, you would need an encyclopaedia. to capture everything. take care my friend. Tony.
Dear Tony, absolutely awesome those two subway entrances for the Tyne Dock Station! Love how you did and showed the color matching of the stone work. Little bit tedious to do those arches, but the results look simply amazing. Beautiful how the Station Road entrance breaks up the wall and adds new dimension to the once flat wall. Don’t wanna press you into anything, but am just wondering what the natural light feature would do to the subway entrance space when the staircase up the platform would be open. Might be too much of a challenge though. Love the color you used on the platform. Never seen that brand of enamel paint. Very interesting how the paint flows and at the same time isn’t completely opaque, through which those different shades emerge. Have a great weekend! Cheerio
Good evening Vincent. it was the only way to gain space for the new buildings for where the old station use to be. which will give a whole new look to the tyne dock area once completed. the underpasses wont be opened up. as the level of work needed to do that would a whole new baseboard. but it was in my thoughts originally. its a small compromise to the original station. many thanks again. cheer's for now Tony.
Great depth in the underpass Tony, looking brilliant. Always good fun watching you at work and listening to your narrative as you create a world in miniature. Cheers Dave.
Good morning Dave. I do enjoy building what can be achievable with card and paper. and 9 times out of ten it pays off. thanks again for your kind words. cheer's Tony.
Hi Tony, The new entrances are brilliant, a lovely piece of modelling. My grandson was quite impressed. He's been doing some kit building of houses ready for his 009 layout. He's also been working on his next video and spent well over an hour filming 20 seconds of stop-motion animation, too, add to the rest of his video footage of the trains running. So watch out for that one. Hopefully, it'll be coming soon. I've only seen the stop-motion bit of filming and have had to watch it several times to spot everything he's got moving. Anyway we've enjoyed watching your video... Cheers James 🙂👍
Hi Tony. Fantastic bit of modeling, mind you no surprise with you. Arches look brilliant as do the steps with their hand rails. Even had a friendly train driver high five you. Thanks Tony. ....Pete....
Glad you enjoyed it Pete. Model Railways can be fun. and i hope this is was i put across. people do tend to take model railways to serious but with me its the whole picture. and i think that is why people like yourself keep coming back. thanks again for your kind comment. until next time stay safe. Tony.
Hi Tony. Excellent work on these subway entrances. They really do look the part. As for your soldering , you can buy solder in a variety of melting points. You can use hi melting point for the first step and lower melting point for the second, knowing that you should be safe when it comes to not melting the soldering you first did. Should really have a thermostatic iron too, with adjustable temperature setting, to be safe. Hope you and Mrs T have a nice weekend. Best, Jason.
Good evening Jason. thank you for commenting, the entrance has turned better than i thought it would. my little 15 watt soldering iron has served me well over the years. Mrs T says hello. take care my friend. all the best Tony.
Wow those entrance tunnels really turned out brilliant, I really liked how you put the two passengers in the tunnel, yet your not likely to ever see them, but you know they are there..............Fantastic. All the very best Dave.
Thank you very much! Dave. these little cameos do set the scene to whats to come. i just can wait to start the main station building. but i will have to be patient and not rush these things. take care my friend. Tony.
Absolutely. it was just a case of how i was going to fulfil the idea and making it happen. thanks again for commenting. have a great weekend. cheer's for now Tony.
Wow Tony you are amazing with your Modelling skills so honest when things don't work out. The two Entrances are lovely and look like they have been in place for years. The Lighting effect is great.well done. Best wishes Richard Canterbury
Hello Richard of Canterbury. lovely city Canterbury. i try to give an honest approach to what i do. and sometimes it just does not always workout first time. that's how we learn the craft of scratch building. many thanks for commenting. best wishes Tony.
Good evening Paul. what's next now that is a good question. well we still have the entrance to finish and the platform. then it will be ballasting. then the station. well that's what i see in my crystal ball. thanks again, take care Tony....
Nice work on both entrances. I especially like the way they've blended in to the existing walls. Given the restricted view to the one under the bridge, might a couple of strategically placed passengers further block your view and cut down on the work required? Cheers
Thanks for the tip David. i like your idea. but i would still like to add some detail into that entrance. even if we can see the hand rail that would enough. thanks again for your commenting. take care my friend. Tony.
I think this wee project has been one of your best ‘cameo’ builds. The LED will be dimmed I’m sure in time, but that really is superb. Love the ‘To Platforms 1&2’ arrow sign. Absolutely spot on 😎

Thank you Tony, you created another beauty, how could I not love to live in Tynedock? Best Albrecht
Couldn't agree more! If only i was 25mm tall i would live there that is for sure. thank you for commenting Albrecht. have a great weekend. Tony.
Bollards! N0, I'm not being rude, that is what those fancy cast iron posts are called.
Bollards. yep that just sums it up. LOL. love the comment. cheer's Tony.
Hi Tony.
Fantastic bit of modeling, mind you no surprise with you.
Arches look brilliant as do the steps with their hand rails.
Even had a friendly train driver high five you.
Thanks Tony.
....Pete....
Glad you enjoyed it Pete. Model Railways can be fun. and i hope this is was i put across. people do tend to take model railways to serious but with me its the whole picture. and i think that is why people like yourself keep coming back. thanks again for your kind comment. until next time stay safe. Tony.
Hi Tony. Excellent work on these subway entrances. They really do look the part. As for your soldering , you can buy solder in a variety of melting points. You can use hi melting point for the first step and lower melting point for the second, knowing that you should be safe when it comes to not melting the soldering you first did. Should really have a thermostatic iron too, with adjustable temperature setting, to be safe. Hope you and Mrs T have a nice weekend. Best, Jason.
Good evening Jason. thank you for commenting, the entrance has turned better than i thought it would. my little 15 watt soldering iron has served me well over the years. Mrs T says hello. take care my friend. all the best Tony.
Wow those entrance tunnels really turned out brilliant, I really liked how you put the two passengers in the tunnel, yet your not likely to ever see them, but you know they are there..............Fantastic. All the very best Dave.
Thank you very much! Dave. these little cameos do set the scene to whats to come. i just can wait to start the main station building. but i will have to be patient and not rush these things. take care my friend. Tony.
Top Job Tony well done
Thank you John. very much appreciated. cheer's for now Tony.
Another masterpiece Tony, I was only wondering last week if you’d actually do underpasses. Never any doubt was there. Have a great weekend.
Absolutely. it was just a case of how i was going to fulfil the idea and making it happen. thanks again for commenting. have a great weekend. cheer's for now Tony.
Master class Tony.
Good morning Hot Dog Andy. thank you are to kind. take care buddy. Tony.
A brilliant Job Tony, looks so good
Thank you. I am a bit surprised on how they have turned out. thank you for commenting. cheer's Tony.
Wow Tony you are amazing with your Modelling skills so honest when things don't work out. The two Entrances are lovely and look like they have been in place for years. The Lighting effect is great.well done. Best wishes Richard Canterbury
Hello Richard of Canterbury. lovely city Canterbury. i try to give an honest approach to what i do. and sometimes it just does not always workout first time. that's how we learn the craft of scratch building. many thanks for commenting. best wishes Tony.
Outstanding video like!!
Thank you for commenting. and a very warm welcome to the comments page. cheer's for now Tony.
Really love the entrances.
Thank you Dave. tricky little builds. and you would think that they have been there forever. cheer's for now Tony.
looks brilliant cant wait to see what's next
Good evening Paul. what's next now that is a good question. well we still have the entrance to finish and the platform. then it will be ballasting. then the station. well that's what i see in my crystal ball. thanks again, take care Tony....
Stunning
Thank you! Cheers!, very must appreciate your comment. have a great weekend. cheer's Tony.
Great loving your work 😁😁
Thank you so much 😀John. very much appreciate the comment. until next time cheer's for now Tony.
Great work
Thank you Paul. and thanks again for commenting. Tony.
Awesome Work 🙌🏻✨
Thank you 🙌Very much appreciate the comment, have a great weekend. cheer's Tony.
Nice work on both entrances. I especially like the way they've blended in to the existing walls. Given the restricted view to the one under the bridge, might a couple of strategically placed passengers further block your view and cut down on the work required? Cheers
Thanks for the tip David. i like your idea. but i would still like to add some detail into that entrance. even if we can see the hand rail that would enough. thanks again for your commenting. take care my friend. Tony.
Hi five the driver, defo a first 😂
the poor guy did not know what hit him... lol...
Just wondered if there should be a swan neck lamp above the bridge entrance, would be extremely dark at night.
I agree. but i may put a lamp post near by. great idea though. many thanks again for commenting....cheer's Tony.
