  • As the year draws to a close I thought it would be a good idea to film a running session on the layout. It's been ages since the last one and a lot has changed since then.
    I wish you all the best for 2024 and I'm looking forward to the various projects I have planned for the new year. Cheers

    One of the things i like is he hasn`t gone over board with points and track. He`s created a realistic setting rather than overdoing it with too much emphasis on trains.

    Hope we get a new video soon. Even if it's just watching the trains run on what you have created. Absolutely top. Love the whole vibe. The scrap yard is absolutely amazing!

      @jlaws8740 Před 5 měsíci +2

      And even then, the layout is set in 1989-1990. But what you said is a good point, it’d be somewhat easy to set it up as entirely modern.

    • @MaxxD86
      @MaxxD86 Před 5 měsíci +1

      I hear that. Most modellers use the term “modern” as in the type of locomotives used like diesel, electric and so on. And even though I’m a steam enthusiast I can’t deny how amazing this looks this looks

    Your layouts are of the highest quality. You're work and expertise in railroad modeling is the standard. Your precision and accurate depiction of time period of your layout if dead on and you really nail it. I'm a huge fan of model trains. You should win an award for your layout.

This new venture has shown a major step-up of your work with lots of ideas and has been a guide of extremely intricate detailing. Absolutely brilliant.

    Hi Richard.
    Although I watch your videos, I very rarely comment due to your brilliant popularity, you can't read all your comments.
    Fantastic layout as usual, watching the progress of the station was great as was the car park, scrap yard, offices and buildings. Then the cars with you fitting the Magna track,(think I've spelt it correctly)
    Then to top it all the wonderful locos and rolling stock.
    Have a fantastic new year Richard and thank you for your brilliant layout.

    Very relaxing and a great way to spend 25 minutes. Wish it was longer!
    Had a mad thought whilst watching this, wouldn’t it be great to build it again but 40 years earlier, same basic track design but with older station design and different street/ shop builds. Also some sort of engine staging for changing locomotives. Think I need to stay off that imported baccy.
    Happy new year to you.

    Hi Richard! Thank you for taking time out to treat us to action from your fabulous railway again. I for one have loved every minute of your journey with this rebuild. I liked the old Everard Junction well enough but this has been an evolution and a half. What I like is that you have always been keen to redo bits which, as you put it, don’t look right rather than just ploughing on regardless! And the proof is in the pudding in terms of whether you were right or not! 😎
    Cheers mate, hope you had a fantastic Christmas and look forward to new year developments 🍀👍💚🥂

    @PhilWaud Před 5 měsíci +1

    Incredible detail in this as always. I think your trains, when viewed running in the layout dont have the same "real life" look as the incredible scenery. Sometimes, as you get lost in the scene, an occasional carriage will go past that doesnt look as weathered and it puts you off. I have to say though, this is the most incredible layout I have ever seen. The way that you observe real life and then re create it is inspirational. Thank you for allowing us a glimpse of what you do and keep the content coming!

    You mentioned in your last station build video about not being able to change the backscene for night time running. From these shots I think it looks perfect as a light polluted urban sky. It's never truly dark until you get out into the country.

    @christinecrockford1654 Před 5 měsíci

    I think your layout is by far the very best I seen on youtube your a real artist. My older brother used to take me train spotting at Reading Station, around 1979 too 1980. We used to jump down and put the old 2 shillings 10p on the line to be squashed and retrieve it after ( so dangerous lol ) I was brought up in Wokingham in Berkshire. I do remmber seeing the first very diff shaped hst going thru Reading many a time. I think was being tested and looked like somthing from the future. I think ur layout is based more late 80s to early 90s but u really captured this so well. Once again amzing layout keep the videos comming xxx
