@@_RandomPea yeah I'm looking forward to it. It's now looking a while off as it won't fit in the loft and will therefore have to wait until I move the layout into some sort of shed. I've just ordered the baseboards for the station module though.
@@_RandomPea it's woodland scenics fine ballast. What is traditionally sold as 00 scale ballast is usually over scale when compared to the real railway. I quote like woodland scenics fine with a mix of grey blend and sometimes buff. I might well look at chinchilla sand in the future as it does seem like a good cheap alternative.
@@HorsehayRailwayModeller ah that's good and bad news, I've just finished painting up one station platform, so interested to see your methods. I used 3 5mm foam boards glued together and then topped with a watered down lightweight plaster. It seems to work quite well. I reckon I could have got it smoother but it's ok.
@@HorsehayRailwayModeller new junction used it, I think it's ok. I'll show my tester in my update video later, it seems like a good option, until they realise that modellers are using it and the prices hike up 😂
Good descision to not fix the backboard before painting the backdrop. I didn't have any choice so had to paint mine in situ this week. Was tricky but got there in the end. Your viaduct looks amazing with the water down and the backdrop in place. Nice one really well done.
Hi David, watching this again for tips and inspiration. Noticed the track under the bridge and wondered how you got that effect, i want my track under the occupational looking like that with static grass in the centre
@@_RandomPea still need to come back to this track when I get round to it. But for now it is a mix of soil and tile grout and I think I sprayed it with the airbrush with a dessert sand colour. I want to come. Back and add static grass and weathering posters at some point too
It doesn't need it imo it looks decent as is. You were very brave doing the pour with the scenics already on the board... Id have ended up with water on the banks 🤣 @@HorsehayRailwayModeller
@HorsehayRailwayModeller You're welcome, David. If you get a minute, I would appreciate a like or comment on any of my videos now that I've joined the club, so to speak
what a cracking little scene! That backscene is amazing
Thanks very much mate
Another masterclass; thank you. Looking forward to further progress; wiring especially.
Thank you very much, will be sure to add some wiring explanations to the next video. Will also try and film a "how to" in future months
I looks so good. I hope you're pleased with the results from your effort. I also like your creative saves where it didn't quite go to plan.
Thank you very much, definitely happy with how it's come out
Just love the music selection and you're a great artist.
Thank you very much
The design for the new board looks fantastic, be great to see the diesels and steam locos side by side 🎉
Btw, what type of ballast do you go for? Looks n gauge? I was looking to try using chinchilla sand, which seems to be a good scale ⚖️

Yeah, the next one will be a bit of a pain I think but as you'll see in the next video it's glued in place to support a curve. Thanks for watching
Great stuff.
Thank you very much
Looks beautiful, look forward to seeing more!
