- The video is the second video detailing progress on the development of the second version of Fritham Junction. The first being a not very well built slightly smaller equivalent of what I have today.
Fantastic! Great to see an update of this layout! I'm starting my GWR 1930's Branchline right now. Lots of research and planning so far!
Great video, thanks for showing!
Thank you, I'm going to try and do shorter but more regular updates now. Good luck with the new layout :)
Absolutely incredible layout, it’s easily one of the best out there, and I especially love the goods shed, it’s absolutely stunning!
Thank you for those kind comments, lots more work to do :)
@@Frithamj good luck to you as well, I hope you enjoy finishing your layout :)
Great video. Goods yard ballasting is the best I have seen. I love the Redbridge layout too, not far from me so I recognise parts of it.
Thank you that’s kind, it’s been a Labour of love. Redbridge is great. Could have watched for hours.
Excellent. Similar in feel to the model railway I'm building (Frontington and Backwoods), though yours is a lot further along and quite a bit bigger! Glad to see you're having fun as well as making progress. I'll be keeping an eye on your channel for future updates!
Thanks Matthew, very much about building something I can be proud of but also as you saying enjoying it and not taking it too seriously… I have a job for that ! :)
Good luck with your layout look forwards to seeing it.
Really good update, the ballasting is a masterpiece, it looks so authentic, so well done there!
I really like the goods shed, it’s a lovely model and you’ve made it look really good with the cattle dock.
The backscene has given the layout some depth too, it looked great as the trains ran by.
Really looking forward to the next update and maybe the the completion of the signal box and engine shed.
Cheers for now, Merry Christmas, cheers, John
Thank you for all of that feedback. It’s coming on slowly even if slightly hindered by a busy work schedule. Have a good Christmas.
That goods yard is brilliantly done. I'm amazed you just played and got to that finish... Imagine if it hadnt have worked! Lol
Im gonna be a bit biased here lol. The British, UK layouts seem to be of higher standard than those in US lol. Sorry US guys🤪lol as for this layout, its exceptionally well done. Great job on tbe weathering the shunting and goods areas and back drop. As i looked at your progress couldnt help but notice an area by station thats so wide on board that i was a bit concerned for you sake about reaching critical maintenance areas where arms length reach was almost out of reach for working repair functions. I still dread the day i must cut and lift out hard to reach areas for repair jobs. Otherwise splendid job on that setup, it makes one feel immersed into that era in time and into the daily happenings in railway work
Glad you have enjoyed it. Thankfully I can access most elements from one side or the other but I must admit I put a lot of effort in to the track to avoid derailments in certain sections.
@@Frithamj i have enjoyed it certainly. Well i think we all dislike derailments at any given area of our layouts and taking time and effort to avoid them by laying the track securely and properly, is key to success and enjoy the hobby and our layouts which afterall is the point of the hobby.
Really glad I came across your channel. I'm planning a small industrial layout and have been searching for a method to achieve that degree of realism in ballasting the goods yard area. Great work, thanks for sharing. Also, I'm with you on baseboard height - what height did you settle on in the end?
Your layout looks great with great attention to details resulting in a realistic railway. However, the realism is lost when you show close ups s of locos and it becomes apparent that they don’t have crew figures! I did notice that some locos have crew fitted but there is no driver in your railcar and your tank engines etc.
Wiring that lot must have been a challenge.
It still is… not quite yet overcome but close :)
What is it with rail modelers. Not three sentences in and you are using your “special little word” again - PROTOTYPICAL. You all do it. And it’s nonsense. If you look it up, it means “representing the earliest iteration” of a subject. You lot keep using it just to mean “TYPICAL”. It really winds me up, and yet another reason I look at a new rail modeling sites with fear and trepidation.
This is an Epic build - also Great documentary skills - I would deffo be procrastinating about all that wiring 🥱 but you seem to have it all sorted, tho it doesn’t look quite as complicated as Charlie Bishops circuit boards 😜😆
