  • Still a way to go with this area so a second video concerning the scrap yard will be along in the future. Very much enjoying putting this scene together and I plan to extend the detail to the garages & small businesses behind.
    Heres a link for the Juweela crushed cars I bought. Juweela also do some other scrap details that I'll probably try out in future.

    Absolutely loved this - was in stitches from start to finish. A voice of experience if ever there was one! I remember scaling a four-high stack of cars in the 1980s, hanging on for dear life to wishbones and wing mirrors and standing on rusty wings slippery with oil. All you need for perfect realism is a virtual lake in the middle of the yard, the guy in the orange shirt to have a bigger beer gut, more dirt on his clothes, braces, some stubble and perhaps a dilapidated caravan on blocks for an office. A rusty grab-crane is almost a must, together with some car roofs bearing evidence of its crushing attentions. Arson damage to a vehicle or two could be fun to recreate - not forgetting the remains of an old timber office that 'just happened to catch fire' shortly before the VAT records inspector was due on site. Keep up the brilliant work!

    I worked in dismantling yard in south Wales in the mid-70s. 3.5 acres filled with time expired vehicles all of which used to be someone's pride and joy, and yes, taking the gearbox out of a Wolseley 110 five cars up is one of the memories. We used a 22ft crane but a smaller yard could make do with an ex-RAF Jones crane (Airfix).

  • @100SteveB
    @100SteveB Před 3 lety

    It is amazing how so many people in the UK were happy to drive around with multi-coloured cars back in the 70's - 80's. A wing or the odd door swapped with one of another colour from the local scrap yard. I must admit to being guilty, my old MK3 Cortina had a different coloured drivers door for well over a year. I was a common sight back then to see cars like that. Don't see it at all these days. Mind you, scrap yards are so much more of a rarity these days, three or four decades ago there were dodgy scrap yards in every town - often several per town, these days they have pretty much been regulated out of existence. But, your scrap yard and cars certainly bring back a lot of memories, very realistic indeed.

    As a mechanic in the seventies and eighties I would often have to get bits for my mates from scrapyards like this as we all had cars we couldn't really afford. I certainly remember the awful black mud that we used to wade through particularly if it had been raining. Can you imagine in today's health and safety obsessed times being allowed to climb two or three cars high like a monkey as they never had a ladder and then remove bits in the pouring rain while the car rocks about six or seven feet in the air!

    That yard looks very realistic! I worked in a scrapyard briefly back in 1988. They had a Ford D series truck with a Hiab crane on the back which they used to move and stack vehicles, I drove it a few times, even though I'd not yet passed my driving test! They also had a tracked excavator with a grab attached to the arm instead of a bucket which they used to crush the cars. They used to drive the thing over cars to flatten them before they were stacked into an open topped container ready to go for final processing. The metal tracks came off the machine one time when they were trying to crush a car! I used to drive a site dumper around to pick up rubbish and try to keep the site tidy, an impossible task!

A couple of blokes unloading it and maybe a dude with a fridge on a hand cart half way down the yard! It looks unbelievable. Watching on to your latest video in November, the grass behind it looks real in my opinion. Its incredibly good. This layout is just stunning.

    Love the intro! I used to go round many scrapyards with my dad in late 70's to early 80's as a teenager and they were just as yours. Always pure mud ground with cars piled 2 high. You got bits off yourself back then and just had to deal with it if the car you wanted bits from was the one on the top. Now the Elf & Softie brigade would have a heart attack. I never remember anyone getting hurt though. Your detail work is amazing. Thanks for doing these videos.

      I remember trying to take a driver's door off a Mk2 Escort estate in a scrapyard with my dad. The car was on top of a 3 car stack and when my dad undid the last bolt, I couldn't hold the weight of the door and it fell down to the ground. It bent the bottom edge. We nearly left it there, but as it was still better than the frilly, rusted door on my car, we bought it and bent it back into shape. Those days are long gone now sadly.

      There was a yard in Mildenhall I went to circa 2007 where you could still climb around getting bits yourself, had a load of Rover 214's piled 3 high. There was a CDR in the boot of the second one up I was interested in getting away, just to see what was on it, but didn't fancy my chances. Or at least wanted to be killed by a cooler car.

    Great video ! I worked in a scrap yard for a short while in the early 70's, from memory there would be piles of bits taken off of cars before they were crushed there would be heavy scrap ( engines gear boxes back axles etc) light scrap( exhausts bits of body work etc) non ferrous metals ( brass copper & aluminium etc) and lastly wiring looms, as the repressors din't want the insulation we use to set fire to it when the pile got big enough ( pollution ? what pollution ? !! ) to crush the scrap bodies we would cut the A and C pillars with an gas axe and drop a 8ft square plate of 1 1/2" steel on them from a height of 10-12 foot with a crane.just some ideas .What I do remember is the mud and pools of liquid every where.

    Great stuff Richard. Spent many a hour here (downunder) seeking parts in better condition than those already fitted, usually in vain!
    I have a couple of suggestions from personal experience for you to consider. Every yard seemed to have a mangey dog which viewed clients with a deep level of suspicion. Many vehicles missing original wheels and sitting up on tyreless wheels at the jacking points when suspension parts have been removed. A venerable tractor with forklift prongs for stacking or destacking cars.
    Always look forward to new posts - stunningly thought out and detailed!

I can't help thinking the scrap merchant would have spilled onto the railway embankment and that one stack of cars would have toppled unsafe. Need a dog and a horse box full of propane cylinders and a couple of chickens! Like you said you can keep on going and when you get bits left over from elsewhere, just scrap it. Need a lift of some sort, old tow truck. Sorry! Getting carried away. Super scene. Regards Stephen.

    Excellent progress. A few suggestions - In scrapyards, there's usually stuff stored on top of the offices. Car doors and bonnets were often stored in piles. Tyres were often piled up separately in a lean-to. Engines lying about on oily ground, and of course an old Ruston Bucyrus crane to lift the old cars.

    Absolutely brilliant. Great work all around- rolling stock and scrapyard. When I use to work on cars, I spent lots of time in junkyards as we call them... nice to see a paved one- well, was paved- as most of the ones I crawled under cars in were pure ground. Strong memories of muddy Februaries as I crawled under various minivans covered in mud look for a diverter valve for a heating system while my two young daughters shivered and handed me tools. Anyhow, clever intro skit and Thunderbirds or Captain Scarlet switch over! Cheers.

    After being away from viewing your videos I have to say I'm blown away! The amount of detail is fantastic. I will be trying out a small 1/76 diorama, Maybe the transit at the back could benefit from being overrun by brambles that have reclaimed it to the earth, The mk3 Cortina would look smart with maybe a bare engine block dripping oil over it's roof also .. If you need any photos of scrap cars I can supply some as I work with a scrap collector.. Keep up the amazing work- Jack

    That looks fantastic, as ever your levels of tiny detail amaze me. The muddy ground is perfect.
    Couple of suggestions, a truck such as a Bedford TK flatbed with a Hiab crane for hauling cars in, maybe parked up the road blocking someone in. A forklift for moving cars about, maybe a guy cutting up a car with oxyacetylene since the yard isn’t big enough to house a car crusher. Most important of all a big angry German Shepard on a long chain.

      Sorry, just realised looking at the comments I’m the 50th person to suggest this!

    Wow, you have got that looking so real. Love your layout and it's a good day when I see an update from you.

    Fantastic to watch, the level of detail amazes me. It's kind of hard to think that these sort of play second fiddle to the trains on a layout. Also, you could take one of the shopping trolleys and cut it at an angle so it sticks out of the canal for added realism ;)

    amazing stuff , looks just like the scrap yards me and my mates used to raid for bits when i had my old rover sd1 , many happy memories , only paying for the big bits and trying to smuggle out switches and little bits of trim in the tool box , And yes i did spot the sd1 behind the sherpa at the beginning .

  • @carsyoungtimerfreak1149

    Nicely done, I am from that era, looks very real!

    I’ve watched a number of train panorama’s the last couple of weeks. This one I like very much because it is the closest to ‘reality ‘. Great job!

    Scrapyard looking awesome. Great job. Max & Paddy and a broken Sherpa, love it!!

    Thoroughly enjoying all the details ... the stories they evoke, imagination and execution are spot on. 👍

    That is so realistic, really great to see you building up the details - I'm sure I've been to this scrapyard.... ;)

    The attention to detail is stunning. Although I remember a few old tyres being used to put cars on ground or a few on the roof or bonnets in scrapyards in the 80’s. Also maybe cut a shopping trolley in half and make it look like it’s half sticking out of a canal or something?

    The scrapyard is stunningly realistic. Well done. You seem to have a photographic memory. Thanks for the update. See ya next time.

    Great video! I'm planning on a narrow but long scrap yard with mainly old appliances, scrap metal, autos & an auto crusher. The yard will-have one track coming in to pickup scrap metal. Many great ideas here! Thanks!!!

    Great work on that Transit - I just know that the seats will be shredded, and stink of mouse piss, and, very probably there will be a wasps' nest in the back somewhere, under a pile of old bumpers and hubcaps. It's that convincing. Cheeky use of the 'Staccato Beat' from 'Captain Scarlet'. Nice one.

  • @captainjohn787
    @captainjohn787 Před 3 lety

    Beautiful scrapyard that all auto aficionados would like . . . I could use a starter from a '69 Triumph if you can find one in that mess! By the way, one of those rusty shopping carts would make for some nice trackside detail. As always, another inspiring video --- thanks for the upload.

    Looks really good bud. I too like the opening of the video

  • @michaelvandermarliere7820

    Spot on you took up my advice for your scrap yard! Pour a small black oil spill out of one of the bottoms. Suggestion, one of those cars is bound to have a leaky crank case.

  • @billbyfield5985
    @billbyfield5985 Před 3 lety

    I thought this was real until the plastic figurines got out. You've got some incredible skill. I don't even collect trains but I couldn't stop appreciating your work!

    Wow, I always remember as a kid my dad having a mk 1 transit van..........one of which was a camper van ........I remember going down to cornwall (perinporth) in it..........but hey, that video brought back a lot of memories LOL

  • @Autocon609
    @Autocon609 Před 3 lety

    Looking at the details shown in the end of the video, I can actually smell that scene. You nailed the junkyard atmosphere.

  • @fatbarry2000
    @fatbarry2000 Před 3 lety

    The Max & Paddy intro was awesome, but I had to pick myself up off the floor laughing at the Captain Scarlet transition! Superb!

  • @michaelhutin5451

    You should add an old bath somewhere in your scrapyard.
    Breakers of this era would put the old car wiring looms in the bath and burn off the plastic to get the copper.
    A huge pile of wheels and tyres would be another feature.

    Wow you have got one hell of a talent mate. I was mesmerised watching that. I cant get over the level of detail especially when you was doing that van. 😲
