- Been doing all kinds of small jobs on the layout over the past few weeks in order to get it ready for an article in Hornby Magazine. I cover most of the changes in the vid. Enjoy...

16:08 to 16:20 the spider cruising around the village! I love you train set made me buy the hornby magazine.
"Ive added a bin...thats about it"
why the hell did i laugh so much
Well!! Isn't THIS a pleasant surprise? I wake up, get my coffee, sit down to check the news and viola! An update from you! The news can wait. Thanks for making my Sunday AM all that much more pleasant. Now, get back to work on the shop building. I know what your doing, your procrastinating because you cant stand doing the windows. Just get er done mate. And thanks for the nice surprise. Best to you sir.
Congratulations on getting the photo shoot, you deserve it. I always look forward to your videos as they're always informative and they show what can be done if you have the time and the passion :)
ha ha ha ha!!! Double denim.... Take a walk down at the local shopping center near me and you'll be transported back to the 80s again. Great update :)
Yeah its the same where I live Luke, lol!
Hi Richard love the video's, your a real inspiration. I'm now starting a new shed layout as the last one had me falling through the loft floor, wife was not amused.. lol.. but it was your layout that convinced me to upgrade to DCC, so the fun begins...
All the best for the photo shoot for Hornby mag, I think we'll all by a copy.
Many thanks for showing Everard Junction.
thanks for sharing your layout its given me new incentive to get going on my layout that i have left for five years cheers again
The weathering on the little blue shunting engine is masterful! On an earlier video I found the yellow coupling rods garish and unconvincing; now all the colours are spot on!
I love the MK3 Cortina with the odd coloured wing. Back in the eighties my first car was a MK3 and that had an odd coloured wing! Wow, must say that the layout is looking fantastic, stunning job.
Brilliant video series sir! stumbled across you last year and haven't missed a video yet! hats off to you!
cheers

Hi Richard
I've watched most of your videos and enjoyed them all and got a lot of useful tips and information too, so thanks for that! just read the Hornby Magazine article too, which was excellent. However, I always thought you were a lot older for some reason and we still don't know what you look like!! Keep up the great work!
Congratulations on getting your layout published, it has been a long time coming. My wife is generally the first person in our house to let me know that you have posted a new video.I find your videos informative and interesting. I am making the brass gantry at the moment.......tricky, I have resorted to half soldering and the other half super glue from wickes.
Nothing like an upcoming and flattering photo shoot to get a person going on the fine stuff.
It's the little jobs which make the layout, great up date Richard, just goes to show you don't know who's watching your hard work
nice to see your layout in Hornby magazine, great feature. testament to all your hard work. Didn't know you started so young well done. keep it up you have helped me know end.
You should be very proud Richard. A well deserved accolade being selected by Hornby. You have a wonderful layout and your video's are most interesting. Thanks for sharing.
The layout is looking fantastic, as always. Still one of the best on youtube.
wow! what can I say? Your layout is awesome! I used to do railway modelling back in 1993 but work took over and never had time to do anything. I've got no knowledge of wiring etc so never thought about building one. However your videos are extremely helpful and love how you explain whats what and briefly reiterate what you've said. I'm so amazed at what you've achieved and it's inspirational to the point of purchasing my first locomotive lima 37693. can't wait to get started and running. regarding scenery, I noticed that the embankment from the canal to the sidings would look good if it had an unserviceable loco that has maybe had a mishap and "accidentally" run off and come to rest halfway down. Anyway I love what you're doing and keep up the good work.
Nothing like a Hornby magazine photo shoot to get the little jobs done :)
Looks fantastic :D
Well worth the effort of the odd jobs. It's those touches that really start to create the atmosphere. Good luck with the photo shoot, looking forward to reading the article.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video the layout is looking photo ready, it is amazing how much work you can get done when your up against a deadline :) Cheers
Very nice video.......and big respect from Zagreb/Croatia!
+Tomislav Anić Thanks
The scenery and blending of various product creates a very nice and believable decor.
Amazing work Richard! I wish I could do just half as well. Congratulations on the photo shoot, it's well deserved.
Superb work as always mate, I look forward to reading about your layout in the mag, all the best, Jack
Really looking great. I especially like that we don't have to listen to engine sound or horns or bells. I like the click of the wheels on the track. Sometimes I just turn off the sound when the noise gets just to much. I have one 16 foot wall that I am going to treat like you did with a wall. Stunning. I have a pattern for arches like yours and will make the wall from foam and paint it concrete .
Yet another great video. Love the detailing you've done, don't know if I would have the patience! Can't wait to read the magazine article when it comes out, almost looking forward to that as much as your next video
An absolutely fascinating and educational series of How-Tos.
Shunter looks superb , look forward to the video thanks for sharing cheers Kevin
Richard......subscribed and kept up with all your updates "down under" for quite a while. It's a superb layout and your skill and attention to detail is outstanding. It gives a lot of viewers the incentive to "get on with it" :) Dan.
+Dieselbuilder Thanks Dan. My aim was always to make what I do seem achievable.
Amazing details that make all the difference when put together. You're about to pass 5,000,000 views. Congratulations!
Brought back memories of my days working for Network Southeast. I started in 1989.
Top work as always, Richard.
great layout great detail looks really well you have done a great job look forward to the next one
What an awesome job. The Class 8 looks fantastic too. I'm looking forward to the Hornby magazine when it comes out.
Crazy to think it's now gone but looking forward to seeing your new layout Richard 👍
Its interesting to me watching your videos from newest to oldest and see many of the changes and improvements u have made overtime in reverse.
Just pick up the July issue of hornby magazine love the article some great pics and good to hear how it all started and hope to see loads more for the future keep up the excellent work and just want to say your channel was the first I subscribed to and it gave me a lot of inspiration along with DaveClass47 without you guys I wouldn't have a clue where to start so thank you.
Regards
Stephen.
agree, this layout and daveclass47 are masterclasses in model railways!
Very nice layout indeed. Inspiring. I have just shared your video to our club to suggest the backdrop wall. Thanks for sharing.
congratulations I've been watching for a while you gave me some good ideas so thanks and looking forward to seeing more of what you can do love the canal
beyond all the great modeling and detail I appreciate your documentary eye (and voice) : )
It's been a long time since I saw one of your videos and your layout has really come on great!
Excellent video as always. Layout is looking amazing.
Finally you've got some little people on your layout. It's come to life!
+Slim Charles And a spider walking through the town scene :)
Looks very good Richard, usual attention the small details.
Great work, look forward to seeing the layout in Hornby Magazine
Beautiful layout, loved the oil/grease spots on the tracks :)
I like all your layouts keep up the good work you're teaching me a lot of stuff thank you
great layout,thanks for all the how to videos,i have learned so much from you,just wanted to say thank you. ......
looking great, like the various small updates, will keep a look out for the magazine when it comes out.
Really beautiful layout, and your videos are always so nicely done.
Simply awesome! Congrats man, so realistic
Weird as it may sound, my favorite part is the overgrown pair of sidings by the station. I can easily picture an old truck or hopper just sitting there in the one on the left, a bit like how a truck was abandoned at Staines West station after it was closed for a while.
Wonderful your work speaks for itself ,,,, Lovely
Your layout is amazing. I wish I had the skill, money and patience required to create something like this.
Superb video Richard.
It's amazing how a plethora of small jobs could have such an impact on the layout. It seems to have jumped forward a huge amount and the detail is great, l hope my layout will be half as good.
I did a weathering job on my 08s and 03 about six months ago and they don't look to bad compared to yours, I'll be interested to see how you went about it.
Good luck with the shoot and article.
Keep the great videos coming
cheers
Paul
Congratulations and best of luck for being chosen.
There are 4 "thumbs down"...I wonder why? This is really amazing, both film and layout. Absolutely marvelous! :-)
Yes, who would thumbs down any of these videos?
I guess they get some sort of weird kick out of doing so. People can be quite odd at times, particularly on You Tube.
True, so true.
John Mård it's only because those people don't like trains
John Mård always perplexed me. it's obviously about a train layout which is truly amazing so if you don't like train sets or you're going to dislike it why watch it in the first place lol.
Amazing, fantastic layout- in July 2016 Hornby magazine which is out now. Brilliant photos and track plan included. Why on earth 7 thumbs down?????
Excellent video, obviously there is a good council who has gone around and ensured the all the road markings are visible, which would have been correct compared to today's councils who have no money. I recall first seeing the orange jackets on Permanent way crew when they came out and these were like waist coats that had seriously shrunk in the wash, they covered more of the shoulder area and the upper third of the body and not full length. There are quite a lot of small nice touches that really bring the railway to life. Nice to see the seventies housing and very sympathetically modeled. It will look really good in Hornby Magazine. I recall 08s at Leeds and as I look at your weathering on the loco you seem to have got all the areas correct where these would really looked fouled up!
I do like your layout - keep up the videos they're really entertaining and informative cheers JC
Great work , layout looks fantastic
layout looks great, well detailed (especially the loco depot and countryside areas) and a nice array of locomotives and rolling stock :-)
wow you painted the people ,, that would take a bit of time ,, and a steady hand , painting the doors just gave it a more real look to the town , , I like the fence in the broken state it is in ,, might just need a bit of rust coloring , I don't think I can get that magazine in Canada ,, that be a nice issue to have , your layout looks amazing , and will make a great article , I just doing videos on the new bench work for my new conrail layout ,, and I hope I can get mine to look half as good as yours , thanks for sharing
16:16 Local man claims he saw a cat-sized spider crawl along the pavement, Police dismissed it as having had too much to drink.
That is some excellent work, thanks for sharing it with us. I don't normally get the Hornby magazine, but I think I will need to pick up the issue your display is featured on.
layout looking fantastic..look forward to the magazine cheers dave
Hello Everard .Gefällt me very much, especially the small gardens.
Your layout has inspired me to do a lot better on my own and I love all the little realistic details you include. Hope the photo shoot goes well - can't think of any reason it wouldn't
It's in the July edition issue 109Great article and worth a look. Congrats on getting the mag write up
As always - excellent detailing and an interesting and informative video.Love how the trained spider adds movement to the town scene at 16:13 - 16:18 :-).Looking forward to seeing the completed shed. Please also show some more information on how a typical operating session would go.
Congratulations great design layout and detail, great achievement.
Top banana mate, I was thinking John Menzies for the corner shop, a real 80's icon
I Think The Whole Loft Has Had A Thorough Going Over The Walls Look Like They've Been Toshed With A Lick Of Paint And It All Looks Very Tidy, Nothing Like A Good Spring Clean And As Per Usual The Video And It's Content Were Nothing More Than Brilliant 10/10
Nicely done. I really enjoy your videos.
Look forward to seeing it in print! :)
FANTASTIC! great job!!
So Life Like, Amazing Complete Build. Well Done.
Nice job, looking good. Love the spider at 16:12! Or is that the old man's dog running off!!!!! 😂
Looking good Richard! Thank you accommodating our photo shoot and we're looking forward to brining the feature together for our July 2016 issue - on sale from June 9.
On my birth day!
Excellent layout; so evocative of 80's northern (Lancs/Yorks) England
Fantastic scenery work!
You did a great job of weathering the rail ties.
hi rich layout looking even better can't wait for the 08 weathering video
Kind regards
ralph
great job, great lay-out and good luck with the photoshoot, tomwee
the layout looks amazing
I feel less guilty now, I too have little projects to do that should have been done about four years ago. Great video.
Great to read about this layout in Hornby magazine.
that is great. i will be looking forward to reading it then..
This is a great layout! You've achieved a lovely smooth, realistic appearance with fantastic ballasting and brilliant attention to detail! With the backscene, which you mention you're partly happy with, I'd suggest a slight sponging in of white clouds using artists' acrylic paints. It might seem daunting to try at first (to begin with I'd practise on a scrap piece of board to see the effect) but it would really add to the background. Congratulations, by the way, on being in Hornby Magazine! I look forward to seeing the article when it's published.
+Ray MacFadyen Thanks. I plan to add some clouds in future.
Fantastic work!
4 years since I started mine, I finally got the track pins in recently
Love the lines under the table gonna do one myself
The 08 is stunning.
love the Class 08, looks the bol, can't wait to see your tutorial on that, have to let us know when your in the Hornby mag, will pick it up, will be a good read Andy
+Andy Hudson Thanks Andy. I believe the article will be in the next issue of Hornby Magazine (July). I will make it clear in a video once I know for sure.
As someone about to undertake a loft layout and a former track renewals p-way engineer, can I recommend a bit of a ballast shoulder. Perfect layout BTW & look forward seeing press coverage- well deserved.
Brilliantly done Richard. Absolutely amazing layout you've got there. Well done and good luck with Hornby Magazine.
Have you thought about possibly running Modern Image stock from a friend or two (although it's an 80's based layout). I think it would look brilliant. Lovely layout Richard
fantastic great work!
Hi Loved your lay out hope you do well with Hornby mag. keep up the good work
Andrew Skilling
Couple of tiny things I noticed while watching this:
- The 15 mph sign on the bay platform exit isn't indicating a line that diverges at that point in the direction of travel and therefore doesn't need the arrow beneath it.
- On the town scene you've missed the termination lines on the pedestrian crossing zig-zag markings.
- While I agree it draws attention to the cable trunking, I personally find the new colour to be too bright, like it was installed new very recently and it drawing the eye to be odd...
Aside from these nit-picking points, lovely layout and progress, one of the most realistic looking layouts I have ever seen I must say. :)
+Road-hog123 Thanks. I've already corrected point one. The town scene still needs more work, still no traffic lights etc. The cable trunking will get a light pass with the airbrush when I have time.
