- A bit of modifying in this update. I do a bit of scratch building and carve up the landscape to fit it in. see what you think of my new embankment substation.
I was asked about the fencing I used. It's buy a supplier on ebay called.

Hi. I really enjoyed this video. Very interesting and gives other modelers inspiration. Thanks.
Thanks for saying that, much appreciated, always nice to hear people are enjoying what I do and also find it useful. Cheers Graham 👍 🍻
Class modelling.
Many thanks, still learning though, I guess you never stop. Cheers Graham 👍
Quite an incredible layout. Very inspiring. Great ASMR as well.
Cheers👍 thanks for watching the channel.
An inspired bit of modelling. The simplest of ideas are often the best, I love the detailing!
Cheers Karl, looks like I'm receiving a lot more detail ideas for the project from a very enthusiastic audience at the moment. Quite frankly I think that's great. Cheers Graham 👍
Great idea Graham of having a removeable sub station to get fantastic track level shots. Many thanks for sharing enjoyed this video, take care regards Barry..
Very glad you enjoyed the update Barry, alway nice to hear from yourself. Atb Graham 👍
Great work on the scratch build and the installation of your layout. Mike HO Australia
Thanks Mike, always great to hear from our cousins, you have some excellent modellers down under. Personally I love Great Chesterfield Junction, some excellent scenic ideas to be found on his channel. cheers Graham 🍻 🙂👍
Very nicely done sir!
Thank you kindly! Atb Graham 👍
Thats brilliant, looks like it was originally modeled like that, fits in so well, love your layout.
Thanks, and glad you're enjoying watching the channel. Added even more detailing since. Probably that will feature in my next update. Cheers Graham 👍 🙂
Excellent job with the installation and car park👍
Cheers, glad you enjoyed the update, atb Graham 👍
Just a note re the fence; as its a galvanised fence, it wont rust, so just weather the brightness down with a wash, perhaps?
Excellent little side project from a great concept! Looks like its been there fifty plus years!
Nice work!
Even galvanised metal rusts eventually after years of service. Rusty galvanised sheet roofs etc. Just rusts at a slower pace dependent on the quality of the production process. But I take your point. Cheers for the food for thought, maybe overdone the rust a bit. Atb Graham 👍
Nice work. 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks brilliant Graham 👍 perfect timing as I’m looking at putting in something similar to my layout 😊
Glad to be a source of inspiration Darrell, cheers 🍻
Hi Graham, another cracking bit of scenery work again your getting really good at this lol 😂 great filming place as well cheers al
Glad you enjoyed it, and cheers 🍻 👍
Great video, nice job, looks fab
Cheers, added a bit more detail to it in my next update. Thanks for watching 👍
Another good bit of modelling . Thanks again for the update Graham. Really enjoyed watching that 😀
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching/feedback, cheers 🍻 👍
Just spent an hour catching up on your progress since the lockdowns Graham...Not sure how ive missed this channel but glad im here now.
Nice one on stating your influencing channels. Youre modelling a lovely era for rolling stock, the scenery has come on so well, inspirational for us all, always good to see mid video running shots as well.
Looking forward to seeing more, new Sub here obviously
ATB Steve
Welcome aboard! Steve, glad you're enjoying the channel and long may it continue. Many thanks for subbing. Atb Graham 😊 👍
Looks great, well done
Cheers 👍
Thats brilliant Graham, love the final conclusion of the sub station and embankments - great work buddy.. All the best Garry
Many thanks Garry 👍 all the very best, Graham 🙂
Great work mate ,just gets better and better
Take care
Mark😊😊
Thanks Mark, hope to see you at GETS. Best regards Graham 👍 🙂
@@WHP1980sif all goes well with my health bud you bet ,take care 😊😊
I suddenly have a cake craving after watching this video! It must have something to do with that perfect slice you cut out of the scenery!
Great video as usual. Keep them coming and we'll keep on watching!
Great analogy, love it, cheers for watching 👍
Top job Graham. The roof needs some weathering along with the bottom of the fencing. Also may I suggest some vents as well. John
I don't think I could add anymore weathering to the fencing as it would look over done. Maybe you are looking at earlier footage, quite rusty now. As for the roof there is weathering but maybe not enough to show up on camera. Also mentioned by someone else. Will probably add more as it could do with some moss weeds etc. Vents are a good idea. Have since been thinking of adding more detail in the way of a couple of grilled vandal proofed windows. I guess I could keep on adding and probably will, but cheers for the ideas though John. 👍 😀
Really looks the business that Graham. I couldnt do it myself, so please forgive me for slight nit picking, maybe a slight weathering on the roof of the substation. Another great video though.
Did weather the tops, but maybe it needs a bit more, cheers Mickey 👍😁
@@WHP1980s please dont take this as me having a go Graham. Far from it. As I say its very minor nitt picking. It's your layout not mine and as I previously said, I couldn't do it myself and its outstanding. If your happy, then feel free to tell me to sod off and mind my own business.😂
RAILWAY ELECTRIFICATION SUBSTATIONS !
I don't like to point this out, but the style of "sub station" you are scratchbuilding, is a classic Southern Region third rail 750v DC design. Even down to the SR Green access door ! The 25,000v 50Hz AC used on lines fitted with Catenary, which appears to be what you are modelling, judging by the stock seen on your layout. Had sub stations of a totally different design. There being much higher voltages to deal with, so different types of electrical parts !!!
From memory one of the German manufacturers who produce working overhead catenary, also had a more suitable "overhead" type sub station in HO Scale as a kit. The German Railway overhead system is 15,000v AC, which obviously has similar needs and somewhat similar equipment to BR AC substations. The manufacturers being Sommerfeldt; Veissmann; & if they are still in business Vollmer.
This was not meant to be a specific substation really, just a random power source for the non electrified lower level of my layout supplying random rail equipment along the line and basically a removable diorama to allow me to film from this point. But all the same, thanks for the information. I will try and make it look more random and generic so as not to look like a specific type in the future. Cheers Graham 👍
Looks great and the 3d printed transformers are a great addition. I have a printer and modelled some relay boxes and a few other elements.
I worked in consulting engineering and modelled substations every now and again for the projects. You may know, the concrete roofs were required to resist an explosion inside the building and they had small windows with explosion proof covers tied to the building with chains. Of course we don’t need that level of detail.
Where did you get the fence?
I did an example of a scratch built building based loosely on a substation building and I just cut up a rad board box to keep it simple for those who have never attempted it.
Good luck moving forward and I will be watching for your up coming builds. Very nice layout.
Very interesting hearing from someone who has an insight on the subject. The fencing was bought online. Will check out the supplier and place it in the more tab. Many thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Graham 👍 😊
Just updated the more tab with the fencing I used. 🙂
Hi hope you found some bargains at st ives keep up the good work on you layout Graham
Was you the Chap I bumped into? (Got in the way of) and sadly not much. Still a nice day out in a great place with the sun shining. 🌞 cheers Graham 👍
@@WHP1980s yes i was getting the lima brake van and then doing a cash deal with the class 66 !!!
Nice to meet someone who watches my channel. Hope you enjoyed your trip to the toy fair. Best place to save money and get great bargains IMO. Atb Graham 👍 🙂
Darrenbury Central Hi love the new sign at the start v good. The s stn i thought looks brilliant well done. How about a mobile phone mast somewere. Also you could do a railway or general scrapyard would look good. Tatty Bi
Have a railway maintenance yard as such. Could be enhanced a bit I guess. Mobile phone masks a bit rare in the 1980's. Maybe a TV repeater mask. Cheers 👍 Graham
You did a brilliant job there graham really does look the part very clever!! Where you get your people from as i really do like the quality of them all the best buddy look forward to the nxt installment..
Many thanks Tony, glad you enjoyed the update, cheers 🍻 👍
Just realised I think you were asking what company make the figures on my layout. They are mainly bachmann and P & D Marsh metal figures. Cheers 👍
Hi Philip here me and my girlfriend like your layout Iam doing my railway layout similar is that ok let me know.and were do I get a substation from I 00 scale let me know..
No problem following what I'm doing. As for the buying a ready made substation there's this resin model.
Bachmann 44-0181B Lineside Brick Substation Black OO Gauge.
Thanks for watching 👍
@@WHP1980s hi right ok then thanks for letting me know
Looks so realistic. A pleasure to see.
Like you said, the beauty of railway modelling is that it is never finished, always bits to do.
An idea might be to have a bulkhead light above the steel personnel door, and/or a small light column just outside the compound.
Being an electrician, I would suggest that !
Good suggestion, I like the light idea💡 . Been looking at adding vandal proofed windows here and there tonight. Might add these bits of detail and mention the improvements in my next update. Many thanks for the input. Cheers Graham 👍 🍻
@@WHP1980s your most welcome.
Cheers Mark 👍
