The only word that springs to mind is WOW! That is quite extraodinary and a tribute to all the hard work you have put into it. Very, very, very well done.
It's nice to see you have the PECO diesel depot. The one on my layout is painted green. That's clever using helixes to make the railway longer in a smaller space
I really enjoyed this video. That’s one hell of a layout. I only have a tiny room so I’m not sure what I’m gonna be able to do but I love to watch your videos. Great job on the tunnel by the way.
@Willowholmejunction From one helix to the other I think theres about 25 feet of running space on the top boards. Another 25 feet underneath and each helix is a 4ft square, the boards are 2ft wide i think
@johnnydagooner From one helix to the other I think theres about 25 feet of running space on the top boards. Another 25 feet underneath and each helix is a 4ft square
13:47 looks like one of the driver some how managed to take his loco home, but unfortunately by driving it it was a little too heavy with its bare metal wheels so it cracked the road.
@Whizzer1 a good thing you should use as tunnle portals are the hornby skaledale brick or stone portals single or double which are awesome and look very good on model railways as they have a grey stain which looks like steam engines have passed through.
@MrBenbo96 From one helix to the other I think theres about 25 feet of running space on the top boards. Another 25 feet underneath and each helix is a 4ft square
@jasonandjoesrailway That shoud be fine, but as it is chipboard I would be careful about how wet you get the wood when doing ballasting. Shouldn't be an issue though, plenty of people have used chipboard before.
@EverardJunction Oh yeh i agree, but i thought i was coping out and taking the easy option by having all my track on the baseboard, whenever you go to shows they have tracks at all sorts of different levels.
@bloodmarine77 I had the same problem with finding a UK supplier of long static grass. I've bought it from an American site called scenic express. I've not bought from them before but people have given them great reviews and there are hundreds of things to choose from.
Great layout and such clear videos. You've made me realise I've wasted the last 10 years on computers! I hope you're not thinking of ever getting married. :)
@jasonandjoesrailway It's much easier to keep the track at the same level in terms of wiring and point motors. With different levels the boards need to have a lot of extra work done to keep everything strong. If I had used multi levels then trains running under the layout would not fit.
Hi, I found your track cleaning artical interesting, as l'm building a BR/NSE 3rd rail layout l use a Bachmann MLV propelling a Dapol track cleaner in fluid mode and have found that this method also keeps the MLV wheels clean and as l use Kadee couplings on all EMU stock l consist at least 4 EMU's on the rear and this cleans their wheels at the same time try it
@MrJezza31 The 37 is a cheep vitrains model that broken and the 20 is an old non dcc ready bachmann model. I'm looking at getting a pair of new class 20s.
Hi love your layout and videos was wondering how you do your curves is there a how to vid on here about it many thanks and keep up the good work. Stephen.
Are you ever going to hide the helix's with scenery? And just cover them so they are hidden slightly? But I love this layout and is inspiring me to start again :)
Looking great. You have probably been asked before but what is the overall size of the layout (footprint) as I am about to start mine in a 10 x 10ft room and was trying to work out how much I could get in. I also like the idea of running three lines.
Wow! Your layout is amazing! I'm really inpressed and totally wish I had the time, money and space to make a layout as well develped as yours! Just a suggestion - why not install some LED strips under the layout so yo can see the trains when they are on the hidden part of the track? It's fairly cheap and ould run off a12V DC transformer...
@EverardJunction Also, sorry to bother you again, when i built the main portion of base board in my loft i did it using the large planks of loft board that slot together, they are all batoned underneath and are lovely and strong. Do you think i did the right thing using this wood? Am i going to have problems in the future?
Bachmann are quite good, I've had no issues with their stuff. Bachmann america are more budget focused and are not as good as the UK stuff they do. The British stuff they make for N gauge is marketed under the Graham Farish brand. I get most of my stuff from a shop called hattons.
Hi mate, ive messaged you a few time and love your vids. Can i just ask, i see most of your track work is all at the same level, i.e flat on the board with the scenery based around it. Was this a concous decision, i was thinkin to get a layout look proffesional i would need track at all different levels, but yours looks good.
i know there havnt been many videos recently but the next upload can you just add your opinion on the heljan 33, and if theres anything which you dislike about her, as im thinking of getting the West Coast one, please would be much appreciated as i can not find any good reviews on the 33
Hi.... I find your videos very instructive and like the way you present them...Well done... I have a question?? What size is your layout (width x length)??
@zaccee1996 The class 60 just fits in, which them entering service in about 1989. I have been looking at getting one for a while but i kept buying other things.
great layout i am just starting my own layout and have used/stolen a few of your ideas to great effect i started a few months ago after getting the bug from the great camolot junction and yourself and many other class layouts i would like to get somewhere near this standard, please take a look at my videos see what you think i would like any feedback from you and your members cheers carl
The class 58 that you have I've got one and someone put a sticker of the fleet number on both sides are 58 001 and mine is the same livery and it has a plaque on both sides saying railfrieght
Ah, that Sim City 4 music at the beginning. I always find music from that when I least expect it on YT. Great video as usual!
The only word that springs to mind is WOW!
That is quite extraodinary and a tribute to all the hard work you have put into it.
Very, very, very well done.
It's great to see the whole layout. It looks mighty grand!!! Nice one Richard. 👍👍
Great looking layout. Theres great detail on the Main TMD. :)
I saw an X-box 360 box, good choice. Have been really enjoying all your vids, can't wait to see how it progresses!
It's nice to see you have the PECO diesel depot. The one on my layout is painted green. That's clever using helixes to make the railway longer in a smaller space
Very nice layout Mate! Love all the passenger trains you have running. Greetings from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA
Top notch information. I'm starting a layout and have used a lot of your info to help.
Thanks for all the advice.
For such a small area there is a lot of track in there. Amazing !
amazing work.. ive just spent Sunday watching all your videos, well I think most of anyway. very entertaining.
I really enjoyed this video. That’s one hell of a layout. I only have a tiny room so I’m not sure what I’m gonna be able to do but I love to watch your videos. Great job on the tunnel by the way.
Very interesting layout looks superb
Great video again, such a shame the town scene is now in pieces was looking forward to seeing close up, got some great ideas from your layout
Everard was my Grandfathers middle name. He was also very interested in trains and introduced me to the hobby when I was a kid..
@Willowholmejunction From one helix to the other I think theres about 25 feet of running space on the top boards. Another 25 feet underneath and each helix is a 4ft square, the boards are 2ft wide i think
@johnnydagooner From one helix to the other I think theres about 25 feet of running space on the top boards. Another 25 feet underneath and each helix is a 4ft square
Very nice layout. Reminds me of Camelot Junction.
13:47 looks like one of the driver some how managed to take his loco home, but unfortunately by driving it it was a little too heavy with its bare metal wheels so it cracked the road.
@2009Buzza Thanks, the roads and concrete are made using polyfilla.
@ididi9 That could work, the problem is that doing any work work in the small space under the board is very difficult and time consuming.
@Whizzer1 a good thing you should use as tunnle portals are the hornby skaledale brick or stone portals single or double which are awesome and look very good on model railways as they have a grey stain which looks like steam engines have passed through.
@MrBenbo96 From one helix to the other I think theres about 25 feet of running space on the top boards. Another 25 feet underneath and each helix is a 4ft square
Fantastic layout!!!
11:57 that process is called cut and cover used i the early days of the tube now its just deep level or overground
@jasonandjoesrailway That shoud be fine, but as it is chipboard I would be careful about how wet you get the wood when doing ballasting. Shouldn't be an issue though, plenty of people have used chipboard before.

@RCProductionable Steet lamps tend to vary a lot in height, this one was a bit of fun which will be replaced by a more detailed one.
Great layout and such clear videos. You've made me realise I've wasted the last 10 years on computers! I hope you're not thinking of ever getting married. :)
@Hartsock91 It stands for train or traction maintenance depot.
@gtacrusher123 In real life some TMDs don't have concrete in the middle, I also didn't want to cause any running issues with trains in the TMD.

@5029tom The 20 is an old non-dcc bachmann model from my old layout.
@MrJezza31 The 37 is a cheep vitrains model that broken and the 20 is an old non dcc ready bachmann model. I'm looking at getting a pair of new class 20s.
Inspirational stuff. Thanks
you got a really nice layout mate keep up
Thank you for the tour of your very extensive layout! I enjoyed every minute of the video clip! I look forward to seeing more updates!
Hi love your layout and videos was wondering how you do your curves is there a how to vid on here about it many thanks and keep up the good work. Stephen.

i love ur layout. must have been hard work

@spitfirecaptain Thanks, from one helix to the other I think theres about 25 feet of running space on the top boards.
I think it was about 5 or 6 of the big bags.
@FIFApro98 Its a peco shed, they are readily available. I got mine from hattons
@topgun01268 Thanks, the town scene will rise from the ashes soon.
Wow! Your layout is amazing! I'm really inpressed and totally wish I had the time, money and space to make a layout as well develped as yours!

3:22 the DMU on the right has the destination board of my local route
@cech1444 I have been thinking of various ways to cover them. It will get done one day.
@EverardJunction Also, sorry to bother you again, when i built the main portion of base board in my loft i did it using the large planks of loft board that slot together, they are all batoned underneath and are lovely and strong.

@redbaron1020 Thanks mate, I end up with quite a few outtakes on some vids!
@FIFApro98 yep, a peco medium radius one.
i know there havnt been many videos recently but the next upload can you just add your opinion on the heljan 33, and if theres anything which you dislike about her, as im thinking of getting the West Coast one, please would be much appreciated as i can not find any good reviews on the 33
Hi.... I find your videos very instructive and like the way you present them...Well done... I have a question?? What size is your layout (width x length)??
@REGWARNE12 I used woodland scenics medium blend I think.
The pipes are made from 3mm wood dowel painted yellow.
@TwoboybandOfficial I'm playing around with various ideas and plans at the moment.
@uzyadadi Thanks i'll take a look.
@zaccee1996 The class 60 just fits in, which them entering service in about 1989. I have been looking at getting one for a while but i kept buying other things.
verynice
5* again my friend.where did you say you wos getting your static grass from as im looking to get long wild static grass but cannot seem to find it?
Hi, Love the layout ! I find all your videos really helpful ( thankyou ) . How many bags of ballast did it take for all your layout ???
@tomsClass66 Thanks, I got the kadees from MGSharp.com
great layout i am just starting my own layout and have used/stolen a few of your ideas to great effect i started a few months ago after getting the bug from the great camolot junction and yourself and many other class layouts i would like to get somewhere near this standard, please take a look at my videos see what you think i would like any feedback from you and your members
cheers carl
@ApacheBravo Thanks mate
Wow it has changed so much, would you do an updated one of how you have improved it so much please?
MrTimmsy1986 Will do when I get a chance and have got some scenics on the coach sidings started.
Look forward to it, coach sidings is that your new extension? Not watched that yet.
Yep. I'm building a coach depot to store some of my rakes and allow for some interesting shunter operations.
Sounds good :)
i think you should get a class 60! or does that not suit the era?
@Whizzer1 They are very nice, I have some but they don't fit between the 3 tracks.
@DELTICclass55 I use a lenz LH100 system
@scotrail47 Thanks, more vids soon.
put some road works into the broken piece
@HornbyLad1000 Thats whats it was called, i knew it had a name. Thanks
why havent you covered only the sides of the rails and not the middle of the rails in the tmd
@TrainMadJames Thanks
do you buy them direct from Kadee or do you use a retailer?
@Boadeciia Thanks
i spy a br green 20 and a railfreight 37 can we have a vid on them plese
@Willowholmejunction not really, i made it up as i went along
@1964mikem Thanks mate
@armleyroad Thanks, I'll take a look
@BMR5ify Thanks
I think so, might have been some humbrol enamel. Can't remember really.
Where did you get the fuel pipes/how did you makes them at 11:13? I was going to use pencils but they are too big.
@ipodwindow Thanks mate
@Whizzer1 Thanks
Wow
Thanks. What paint did you paint them with? Tamiya Acrylic?
@tpe18509 Thank you
The class 58 that you have I've got one and someone put a sticker of the fleet number on both sides are 58 001 and mine is the same livery and it has a plaque on both sides saying railfrieght
Brillant
Which Kadees are used for each model type?
Who on Earth would NOT subscribe to your channel Everard Junction? By the way, where does the word "Everard" come from?
@ImagemakerUK Thanks mate
@EverardJunction true
I get them from a retailer called sharp models
cool nice update again
is that the DCC sound class 20?
its come along way since this
