That is Fantastic. With the added Brown Paint etc. The Reeds & Bike,Pallets sets the Canal off. Love that Shopping Trolly,with the Realistic Water Added,all items Certainly stands out. Fantastic Work throughout. Looking forward to see the Following Work added to this Canal.
Your a brave man pouring all that water in! I glued a section of ballast yesterday and it is amazing how diluted PVA will find ways to flow out, namely down the tiny holes where my dropper cables go.
DaveClass47 Oh yes I forgot about that! It finds all your dropper wires eventually. Right pain for me as it can drip onto the track on the bottom board.
The canal scene is coming along brilliantly, you have a knack for creating very realistic scenes that look "just right. " Colours and textures are spot on; you must have everything worked out in your head beforehand and then the vision just takes shape! Looking forward to further updates!
Hi Richard , looking great mate the shopping trolley is fantastic you must be one of the greatest modellers on here. Look forward to part 3 Regards Graeme
Yes looking good, I like the cameos it adds just a little more to the scene, it should dry but bear in mind that the temperature has dropped quit a bit over the coming days. But I cant wait to see the completed scene. Happy Modelling, Phil
Nice progress Richard! Really like the look of the river bank and that shopping trolley is brilliant! Really like the little ladder and where you've added it as well, all the small touches like that and the junk and so on really set the scene nicely. Looking forward to seeing how that realistic water is going to turn out and can fully understand your being nervous about trying it :) - Sim
Awesome looking scene so far and as you said well worth making the trolley. Mine took about 4-5 days to dry too but I think the cold temps. in my garage at the time had a bit to do with that, and I also had the problem with the PVA clouding it up (even when that had been dry for weeks) but got around that. Looking forward to seeing the completed effect. Cheers, Dan
The realistic water is great Richard it works really well I have used it on my exhibitions your and it's now three years old the layout and the water is still good
Hi Richard, another great 'work in progress' video, you're really getting your teeth into it (... you could call it a root canal!!!). Anyway, I like the idea of the shopping trolley and the various items of rubbish- it's a nice addition to an already realistic layout.
Looking great so far! Maybe a little green tint in your realistic water for the next layers, at least in the middle? I like the idea of the "junk" pushed in, making it more realistic for sure.
Я конечно, не думаю, что тут кто-то говорит по-русски, но все же напишу. Это действительно интересные видео. Я могу часами смотреть, как этот человек строит свои макеты, раскрашивает локомотивы, гоняет их по путям. Но самое обидное, так это то, что в России это все не распространено. Я бы очень хотел построить свой макет железной дороги, подобной этой. Но когда я заходу на сайт производителей (Например Hornby), то понимаю, что доставка 3-4 локомотивов будет стоить средней зарплаты по стране. Так что остается только наблюдать за постройкой и моделированием на UA-cam. Thanks for your videos Richard. From Russia with love.
The scene looks amazing Richard! Is the little details that do it. I really hope you don't get a foggy effect, because you pour it kind of thick. I'll keep my fingers cross! because you have done a real great job. Can wait to see what you do to finish it. I like how you narrate every detail of the scene. Cheers. RT
Great video Richard like the shopping trolley looks superb,I used realist water effects to add my reeds and such looks like a white past but does the trick. This will be a superb scene mate one in which you will be proud of like I am with my river and canal scenes. Look forward to the next video I waited weeks for my realistic water to go off but that was in winter time it needs heat of a warm room to work best. Cheers Kev
percomotion Thanks Kev. I watched your video the other day and the water effects do look really good. Wasn't sure at first when you put it on as it was just white, but when its dry it looks great.
Great stuff, love the suspense - will it work? will it go wrong? Brilliant. I'm sure it's going to be awesome. l Cant wait to see that trolley submerged. Cheers Dave
I'm going to assume it's a relatively disused canal due to the trolley location, but it still looks amazing. I'm pretty sure I will consider something with realistic water when my layout starts getting done. I mean I've needed an excuse for a viaduct.
Can you move the shopping cart still? My thought is that it is very much in the way of the tow path come docking area for a canalboat that might come along. If not then the scene still looks fine. Council ought to keep the canal a little cleaner though! Great work. Robert
No turning back now Richard, the deed is done and the water is in, with the way you have done then I can't see any reason why there should be any nasty reactions occurring. The water will take a while to clear, their 24 hour drying time is a little misleading in that it depends on the depth and the temperature. The small pond on my village green dried in a couple of days but that was much more shallow than the lake and also done at a warmer temperature. When I think about it, I don't think I could have done anything more wrong than I did when doing the lake LOL. Well done mate, it's going to look terrific when it's all dry............Graham
Graham Foulston Thanks Graham. The 24 hour period is a bit optimistic of them! It took about 4 days to completely dry in the end. It has dried clear so i'm very happy. It doesn't appear to have reacted with anything either.
EverardJunction Than you're safe Richard, if it has now dried clear then it won't react with anything - well done buddy, you can now relax!! ………..Graham
Leaving aside the fact that I am a model railway enthusiast, I am also an ex ITV Senior Cameraman and would like to compliment you on the standard of your camerawork, sadly usually lacking on these sort of videos. Keep up the good work.
good so far richard...i had the same issue with my water that it took around three days for each layer to dry.its best to add it in thin layers and let it dry over night.
Hi Richard what type of paint are you using in your canal .i need to buy some for lake end for my layout and dont wont any probs if i can get away with it ... chears Glen
Hello sir. Just a thought, might there be a visible line showing between different applications? May not be a problem, although if you look at it from the end, it may show. A solution (for the solution, chuckle!) may be to let it almost dry or gel and then apply some more, but that may mean standing next to it for days on end! Probably not possible.
MotoCrazy66 There may be a line at the end when I remove the temp piece of wood. The instructions say its best poured in thin layers so hopefully it will work. I've now added a second layer.
Richard Tarr The first layer took about 4 days to dry and looked great. I then pour a second layer, which will take longer to dry. I then went on holiday and haven't checked it yet. Its had just over a week to dry so hopefully it will be ok.
southway1943 I've been on holiday over the past few days so haven't checked it yet. I poured a second layer last Monday and on Friday it was just starting to dry out.
mjsdecember1990 UA-cam did not process the video correctly. It was only watchable in a very low resolution. I'm working on getting it uploaded correctly this evening in decent HD quality.
Glen Ralph I've been on holiday. Part 3 will be uploaded when i have the time to film it! When I checked the water before I left it was doing fine. I'm now up to the second layer.
I prefer the canal to the motorway its a better scene to look at and better to model as you have to think about it more where as a motorway its paint the tarmac put barriers and signs and lights in then the cars that's it. and I love the make yourself trolley that must of took time and burnt fingers lol
yep realistic water takes and age to dry we used it on club layout and it took forever to dry but worth the wait just bowed of narrow boat coming out the bridge be good and odd floating bottle real canals can have al ot of junk in them i now been there got ticket but grate job as always odd plastic bag as well
That is Fantastic.
With the added Brown Paint etc.
The Reeds & Bike,Pallets sets the Canal off.
Love that Shopping Trolly,with the Realistic Water Added,all items Certainly stands out.
Fantastic Work throughout.
Looking forward to see the Following Work added to this Canal.
Liking the shopping trolley a great touch i pass one of thos most mornings in the river cheers Kevin
This is looking fantastic, love that shopping trolley!

That's looking great! The shopping trolley is a work of art! :)
Stunning always admire your workmanship great tips to help us achieve those realistic effects
Looking fantastic! Excellent work on that shopping trolly, far to fiddly for me! Looking forward to seeing the finished result. All the best!
Haha, that looks brilliant!!! And its not even finished :) great idea with the trolley, looks brill! Cant wait to c it finished :)
That junk in the canal looks fantastic! Definitely think it was worth making that trolley :D
The shopping trolley looks good as you said. Great work.
The canal scene is coming along brilliantly, you have a knack for creating very realistic scenes that look "just right. " Colours and textures are spot on; you must have everything worked out in your head beforehand and then the vision just takes shape!

Love the shopping trolley!
That shopping trolley really binds the whole sceen together ;)
Brilliant, can't wait until it's all finished!
inspiring video Richard cannot wait for the next part cheers Phill

Pleased to see a bike in there and your shopping trolly looks great in the water. I'm looking forward to the next part.
Looks great! Love the added details…
The trees on the back scene look great
Wow! Coming along nicely
looks great but I think it would be a good idea to place some rocks on the river bed against the reeds. love it!
Looking great so far! Maybe a little green tint in your realistic water for the next layers, at least in the middle? I like the idea of the "junk" pushed in, making it more realistic for sure.
Wow love the trolley mate bet that was fun to make ! Looks the part tho 👌
uzyadadi It didn't enjoy making that thing. My fingers are still burnt from the soldering iron! It took me about an hour to make.
good work there mate cant wait to see the next vid on the canal..... Glen

retrainrun Thanks, the water took about 3 days to dry and it has dried clear so i'm very relieved. I've now poured a second layer.

looking good Richard, leave it as long to dry as possible no point rushing it, but great job you have done Andy
Andy Hudson It took about 4 days to dry in the end. I've now added the second layer so the waiting continues!

Dave Hutton Thanks, that means a lot. I put quite a bit of effort into the filming and editing.
Great project looks very realistic I'm working my way through your channel just one question "why the fence" it looks a little out of place
Richard how did you seal the foil at the edge of the board to stop the water from running out please?
theTazman19 I used some electrical tape.
good so far richard...i had the same issue with my water that it took around three days for each layer to dry.its best to add it in thin layers and let it dry over night.
Glebe Road Junction Yeah it seems to be taking about 3 or 4 days to dry at the moment. It is drying clear though so I'm very glad that its working.
How well do the successive layers merge together?
Most effective, what did you use for the reeds at the edge of the canal, please?
The tension is killing me 😉😉😉
Hi Richard what type of paint are you using in your canal .i need to buy some for lake end for my layout and dont wont any probs if i can get away with it ... chears Glen
So, that's where my blimin' bike got to!
Very nice modelling, what material did you use for the reeds please?
I don't think a model railway is complete without a water scene. Yours is excellent. I especially love all the crap people have thrown into the canal.

Where's ya part 3, man? Been looking forward to it.
The pallets could be over stacked pallets that have fallen off a truck that went through the allotments.
You are indeed an artist most inspiring mon-ame.
I look forward to seeing how the water has dried out. How long did it take in the end?
Richard Tarr The first layer took about 4 days to dry and looked great. I then pour a second layer, which will take longer to dry. I then went on holiday and haven't checked it yet. Its had just over a week to dry so hopefully it will be ok.
Nice
Did your shopping trolley move
That's not bad an hour mind you it would of took me 10 lol.
Keep up the hard work and how is the canal water coming on ???
southway1943 I've been on holiday over the past few days so haven't checked it yet. I poured a second layer last Monday and on Friday it was just starting to dry out.
Pretty jealous of the shopping cart.
did it work ???????????????
nice work already
So much for the instructions saying it sets in 24 hrs lol
What happened to the dmu review from yesterday
mjsdecember1990 UA-cam did not process the video correctly. It was only watchable in a very low resolution. I'm working on getting it uploaded correctly this evening in decent HD quality.
Ok what went wrong with the canal it has been over a week
Glen Ralph I've been on holiday. Part 3 will be uploaded when i have the time to film it! When I checked the water before I left it was doing fine. I'm now up to the second layer.
Here's A Suggestion, Maybe You Should Put A Mobile Crane Vehicle Pulling A Car Out Of The Canal!
The secret is leaking...
9:16 shows a tiny bit of his face. Looks like he wears glasses...
It's not a proper British canal without a shopping trolley in it. >.>
I prefer the canal to the motorway its a better scene to look at and better to model as you have to think about it more where as a motorway its paint the tarmac put barriers and signs and lights in then the cars that's it.
and I love the make yourself trolley that must of took time and burnt fingers lol
southway1943 I burnt my fingers quite a lot building that trolley! It took me about an hour to do.
we also have plenty of puddles along the towpaths of Birmingham. Would like to see that on your scene, along with cyclists and dog walkers.
yep realistic water takes and age to dry we used it on club layout and it took forever to dry but worth the wait just bowed of narrow boat coming out the bridge be good and odd floating bottle real canals can have al ot of junk in them i now been there got ticket but grate job as always odd plastic bag as well
Stunning always admire your workmanship great tips to help us achieve those realistic effects
