I love Dr. Lectur and his trains!!
I'm going to go back and see the build I did not see it. I always look forward to seeing more. Love your work
Excellent video Julian. I loved seeing how the weathering changed the whole look of the area. I was also relieved that I’m not the only one to have the problem lining up the holes correctly. I was convinced it would only be me who had that problem as I am bad a measuring anyway. Thanks for sharing. Roy.
Looking great. Also a very timely episode as I have some Metcalfe cobblestones well overdue weathering!
The good's yard is looking good 👍🇬🇧
Nice technique for building the fence

nice scratch building & great layout thanks for showing us.
Great building buy the way.
Great video Julian!!! Thanks for sharing! Cheers Onno.
Nice work. The houses look like the Victorian terrace houses built by the GNR for staff at Vauxhall Station in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. They were demolished in the 70s.
Looking good Julian as other comments looks better with the alley, and your fence is pure genius.
Wow those are great ideas . Great job weathering .
Great video. They get better ever time.
Nice work as always.
Glad that you reinstated the back gates and added a small wall to form the back alley.
Looking nicely weathered already.
Well done.

Always inspiring, thanks.
Great video. My wife made our fence from car repair mesh and matchsticks. 😊
Nice idea🙂
I didn't actually think about the dustbin's. I was more concerned about blocking an escape root if there ever was a problem with getting out of the front of the house. I like the fencing and yes, I sometime have trouble with the holes lining up. Martin. (Thailand)
Great update Julian and makes the yard scene great for photo shooting. Take care - Kevin
I think it was a smart move Julian to reinstate the gates, nice touch was the back alleyway and really enjoyed watching the weathering process, who would have thought making something dirty would bring it more to life. Many thanks for sharing take care Barry..
Dear Julian, as we mark locations to be drilled, we can of course be very precise. However, when we start drilling, the drill may wander off. This because the most drills have two chisels. So, when the drill starts it is very possible to wander off, even if only a tiny wee bit. To prevent this action from happening we may need to use an awl, sharp nail, or a sharp center point to indent the bore location. Then the drill point will be able to center much better, before the chisels are able to deflect from the intended position.
Anyhow, the goods yard looks awesome. Saw Gormo’s vid on the wire mesh fence. Great idea to be propagated.
On the alley way around the back of the terraced houses; not that it doesn’t look good, but I can imagine the house on the dead end part of the alley wanting their door to the backyard to be placed at the plot line of their shed. Nobody else will use that part of the alley. It will tell a little story of what kind of person lives in that particular dwelling. Cheerio
I knew about making a pilot indentation for drilling a hole, but do think I'd remember to do this when needing to drill holes requiring accuracy?😲
Glad the back alley is restored. The fence looks great
Definitely the right decision with the alleyway Jules 🤔 Really nice effect with the fence and I agree that building up the the ground slightly will enhance the area. Good excuse to throw in some wild growth and a touch of fly-tipping 😉
Cheers mate, have a great weekend 👍🍀🍻
I thought the same thing as Robin about a double gate in the fence to serve the goods yard.
Also there are no chimney pots on the buildings, unless you have left them off for now in case you damage them. Wills now part of Peco make a pack of building details including chimney pots. Just thought I would mention this in case they are not supplied with the Metcalf kits.
Thanks Terry. Being such a belated response to your comments, you've no doubt caught up with my latest videos where I added in a second vehicle entrance to the goods yard. This was very much spurred on by yours and other folks comments related to the weighbidge location. Absolutely correct about the chimney pots, I've had so many break off in the past that I just leave them off. I do have a selection of 3D printed chimney pots waiting to be installed but while there still so much activity going on, they can wait.
good vid
Also the outdoor buildings on the Metcalf's terraced houses are outside toilet's not sheds. Sheds were bought separately by the tennent or built from scrap. Dustbins or rubbish bins were not taken out, they where left in the 8 foots at the back gate and the binmen picked them up individually. A hard job as they picked up the rubbish bin and all. All terraced houses had back alleys for this
Thanks Kenneth for this very useful information. As you'll no doubt know by now, your comment, amongst others spurred me to relook at the rear gates and alleyway and make some changes🙂
You could put a gate in the fence behind the weigh bridge to represent the entrance exit road from the goods yard, otherwise the weigh bridge would not have been placed in the back dead end corner of the yard. When I was a boy I lived in Bristol and a
Lot of the terraces there did not have alleyways at the back. The house we lived in did not even have a road at the front only a footpath (it was an old Bristol and Exeter Railway house). Keep up the good work as I really enjoy your channel.

Thanks Robin for sharing this info, I was beginning to think all terraced house had alleyways, so interesting to know this wasn't always the case. Being such a belated response to your comments, you've no doubt caught up with my latest videos where I added in a second vehicle entrance to the goods yard. This was very much spurred on by yours and other folks comments related to the weighbidge location.
There is a good chance that a fence in that location will have bulges where the local kids have scaled it, or vehicles hit it. The gap between the end of your new fence and the cattle dock is, scalewise, wide enough for a personnel gate, or for wayward cattle to escape. Now there is a cameo I've never seen on a layout before, and as an old stock agent I can assure you was an all too common occurrence..
Cattle on the loose sounds like a great idea, however, the plan is for the cattle dock to be decommissioned and in a derelict state - a project I have yet to start on.
Great to see the weathering process. Would you mind explaining how you made the powder from chalk pastels....?
Here's a link to a past video segment where I explain how I make weathering powders. You'll have to excuse my delivery in this video as it was recorded over three years ago when I was still relatively wet behind the ears with UA-cam. ua-cam.com/video/eaoNRZqY_Eg/v-deo.html
@@StationRoadModelRailway Thanks!
Excellent timing as I need to weather my cobbles area 👍🏼 I do wonder however with the stock your running do you not think that the fencing is too modern?
Chain link fencing was developed in the 1840s in Britain. It became more popular after WW2 to replace the iron railings acquired for the war effort.
@@castlegatejunction Well I never knew that. Just goes to show every day is a school day 👍🏼
You'll be quite surprised by the development of infrastructure techniques and how early some were adopted. As castlegatejunction commented below, chain-link fence has been around for quite some time. I often carrying out research on my given era (late 1950's to early 1970's) before I begin modelling, and this fencing was one of those occasions.
I've not seen chainlink fencing with horizontal bars. Most chain link fencing I've seen since the 1970s was threaded onto wires strung between cast concreate posts with the posts at the outer ends with a diagonal brace set at about half way up the post on the inner side, ie along side the first and last chainlink fence panel (plus midway braced posts depending on the length pf the fence).
To me this chainlink fencing looks to American or like modern temporary fence panels as found around building sites.
Not all chain-link fences had concrete posts. An example of a metal post fence from 1960 in the UK... www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/factory-workers-during-prince-philips-visit-to-the-birds-news-photo/700543119?adppopup=true
@@StationRoadModelRailway I never said that there wasn't other post materials. But even this metal post version has no metal crossbars. The chainlink is hung on horizontal wires.
@@neiloflongbeck5705 Horizontal poles might not have been common, but I'm happy with the result using a simple method of reappropriated materials, it's the suggestion of a chain-link fence I'm after, I'm not seeking prototypical perfection.
@@StationRoadModelRailway in the end that's all that matters. The happiness of the person doing it. If you were after prototypical perfection you'd be modelling in P4.
Don't forget your buffer stops.they had to be fitted by law. Hope this helps.
Thanks Kenneth. Being such a belated response to your comment, you've know doubt caught up on my recent videos that feature the buffer stop solution adopted.
Nice fence, but needs a little 'dilapidating'. A bent post by the end of the track (where a train hit it!) would make it look more realistic.
Great ideas, I do plan on snipping some of the mesh.
Another great video thankyou quick question is your good lady happy with you buying makeup brushes lol thankyou again for the tips and video
I think she's quite alright with it, in fact I ask her where the best place is to get them🙂
What scale is your trains?
The Station Road layout is set in OO scale (1:76).
