- Since I originally built the scrap yard a number of details to enhance it have become available. In this video I set to dismantling some of the scrap yard. I then make various changes and improvements with plenty of paint and details added along the way.

Again this is the most realistic layout on UA-cam great work
Agreed 100%
Have you ever seen the work of Luke Towan?
@@jpshollandYes he’s another one with a brilliant layout
This is the most fantastic scrapyard I have ever seen!
I would like to see him model some steam loco scrapping with some cut boiler tubes and wheels etc.
However, this is a specialist yard and outside his modern image period, so as ever, he was right to cover the chaotic car yard more likely to be seen next to a 70s or 80s lineside.
Some people don't appreciate that Richard is probably the highest IQ and most accurate modeller out there!
It's my favourite layout, the one closes to what I would build if I had the time, money, space and skills to do so but I did see another one which I initially didn't realise was a model railway so I guess that one was the most realistic one I've seen (can't say I remember what one it was though!)
The original scrapyard looked amazing and the revamped version looks even better - really awesome modeling.
Still think the humanity in the scrapyard needs to be a lot more oil stained and greasy. Unwashed jeans and filthy denim jackets
Its amazing how age authentic this is, as it exactly matches memories of my youth during the same time period. As such this is hypnotic and just watching this I'm transported back. Brilliant, well done 😀
I work in a large scrapyard - your one is spot on. Despite the fact that Health and Safety has increased, there are still areas of the yard where I work, that look like your miniature. Tyres, white goods, oversized chunks of metal, piles of chain link and Harris fencing, all lurk in corners of my workplace. A common sight also, are heaps of car engines, destined to be run through the frag mill. Cable drums, too, and old farm machinery. Railway track. Tons of the spring clips used to fix rail to sleepers. Scaffolding poles, in various lengths, rusting chains of all sizes.
The sort of job in which you'll see something you've never seen before, every day. Yes, really. I love your yard and your eye for detail. I can state, in all honesty, yes, yes there are places that look like that, and just out of sight, there is a shear, a pre-shredder, a sorted metals shed, and a frag mill.
Thank you. 👍👍👍
I remember, my father took me to scrap yards as a child , cars stacked 3 to 4 high , no racking I used to play amongst em , I remember the smells of them old cars ....the really old stuff !!!
( baxandale car breakers ) ?? Worth a watch
Excellent comment
I remembee going to a yard with my dad when I was about 5, with all the stacked-up brown 70's cars! There was a yard in Mildenhall around 2006 that still let people wander in and out to find what they could find. We wanted a back seat for a Mini, but there was an XJ-S nearby and I got the crazy idea of trying to cram those seats into a Mini. Neither happened, in the end!
Love watching the progress on the layout,so realistic.
Some detail ideas for the scrapyard. Normally scrap is paid on weight. A vehicle weighbridge would be near the office,also a free standing weigher for smaller items. You could use the old i beams as a pile of scrap metal along maybe with an area of cable ready to be stripped. Scallywags used to nick it off building sites and scrapped no questions asked back in the day lol
Any way just thinking out loud,keep up the great work👍
yes now you said it totally correct , good observation
Would also lend itself to 2 shabby lights opposite ends of weighbridge and on opposing sides. How about dog kennels with warning guard dogs sign
Just ideas
Nicking cables is still common today, there's an urbex video in the abandoned high-tech HQ of a defunct F1 team, and you can see along all the ceilings and down the walls where the wiring's been pulled out.
Absolutely incredible work no words can describe how good your layout really is.
I remember being amazed the first time you built the scrapyard, I thought it was one of the best areas on your layout. It looks even better now!
This was such a great update! I don't know why but a model scrapyard diorama is so much fun!
This is so well thought-out. I do enjoy my visits to this place.
Question is: which bank did the scrapyard owner Rob to come into the money he wants to launder by hiding in those old washing machines?
We actually hid the dosh in hubcaps on certain cars! So the old banger in the corner contained at least £2k, which with todays inflation would probably be £12k! 🤔
Hence why the cashless society is being thrusted upon us by the good old UK government!🤣
The best model layout i have seen by a long way. The attention to detail is simply amazing. Great work, cant wait for the next episode.
Another great video.
Your scrapyard is so realistic.
Attention to detail being top of the list.
So great to see the next instalment, i used to drive class 415/416 1951 epb units over the Atlantic Lines to Victoria and going past Brixton there was a junk yard to the left, so much like yours. Also its hard to forget the actual scale, as so realistic, until the "Arm of God" appeared. As usual the attention to even, unseen details, that having watched previous videos of yours we all know and appreciate being there make it all the better. Absolutely brilliant. I personally reckon this is the best layout in recent years. I wonder how you ever have any time to do your real work, in the full scale world. More please.
Glad you enjoyed it. Never easy finding time for the layout but I try my best. Too many hobbies and too much real work haha.
Richard I loved the original Everard Junction but honestly your new layout just gets better and better. Truly awesome.
Amazing work as always, such detail, but figures let it down a bit. Modelu make some amazing figures but not cheap
Damn I thought The scap Yard "image" on the Video post was "real" (And I am already a fan of your layout, and have seen it before! )
Kudos to you!
I see your legs are still hanging out from under the Mk1 Granny. Are you still struggling to get the diff off, or has it fallen on you !!! !
Clicked on this video because I thought the thumbnail pic was an actual drone shot over a real scrap yard, beyond impressive work 💯👍
That poor guy under the mk1 Granada fuel tank will get a shock when he gets out, oh , where’s his tools
I was loving the time-lapse music way to much 😂 13:33
There's loads to appreciate within and around Everard Junction, but the scrapyard really is the piece de resistance - I keep expecting to see Arthur Daley and Terry rocking up to make a dodgy deal.
Just thinking that many thanks
Some great work here Richard, keep up this good work.
Just found this series, cant believe youve been doing updates for 5 years, amazing. Could you film an 'overview' type tour of the whole setup? Love seeing the close up details but would be great to be able to orient where in the build you are. Cheers!
A little burning barrel with led light would be epic in this yard
Can’t be the only one who thought it was real it was that gd 😂
A recovery van, or car with its headlights on in the scrapyard would look good, especially if they were the tones down yellowy colour.
I bought my toolbox same as featured in 1978 and still going strong !
Still the best series - including Netflix and Amazon. Although I was quite happy watching scrapyard 1.0, the "renovation" has been worth it.
Lovely I've been waiting for more on the scrapyard thank you @Everard Junction
Another great video of your superb layout. Such inspiration, thanks for sharing Richard.
Blinking hell, I thought the old scrapyard looked superb, something to aspire to. Now you have taken it to a new level 😮 great video to inspire modellers
Excellent work Richard. Really enjoyed that. One thing though, and by no means a criticism, but I seem to remember that when I visited scrap yards there was an abundance of wiring looms, glass and auto lights all over the place, particularly under foot.
Looking forward to the next episode. Cheers, Bob
Terrific! I love the scrapyard, and now it is even better... Makes me want to stop in and go for a walk around looking for treasures! My brother's Mark I Capri might need a few little things... Do you have a Rover P5 in there? You do? Great! Are you open Saturdays? See you then! Haha cheers from Canada...
Cheers, it's one of my favourite scenes. Good fun to revisit it and make some changes. Glad you enjoyed it.
Looks great. Being a kid in the 80s I spent many a weekend at the scrapyard getting replacement parts and this looks like my memories. Great layout thanks for sharing.
So as I see the fascia boards, I am imagining them as a cross section of the ground beneath the scene. It would be fun to paint them as layers of the soil and rocks or whatever would be below. You could have some utility pipes or something visible in a few places. You could even do some fun stuff like show skeletons, or fossils!!! You could make a hole in the fascia board and make a scene like a tomb of some sort with grave goods and such. I know I am getting loopy now, but its late here right now! Cheers! 😉👍
Attention to detail is the key to a great finish brilliant video many thanks😊
It's a testament to the quality and realism of this layout that when you started taking the cars out of the scene and putting them on the track, for a split second my brain was horrified that anyone would put cars on a mainline railway...
You have made a great bank holiday even better. Such a treat for us. Thank you. It always brings back memories of my father taking me to the agricultural hall for the model railway exhibition and I would be so excited and lost in the detail of the models and I remember being bought something for my railway and couldn’t wait to install it. I think it’s healthy to always be a little kid at times.
Nice job, Richard!
Subtle changes have made a big difference.
The word "amazing" is used too often nowadays for mediocore things....this however is truly amazing, love it....awesome work...
Beautiful! I really like the mud puddles. All the details are perfect!
That white Ford Capri Laser 34:35 is not scrapped....its Taxed and MOT'd until 2024😂😂😂 What a fantastic job you made of the scrap yard. This brings back memories of looking for spares, back in the day.
Hi
Another excellent video from a master modeler.
I see someone bought the white Capri from the scrap yard and restored it.
MOT/TAX are valid until 2024...
I really enjoyed this work, i spent a lot of time in Car breakers back in the 70/80's and this is exactly how i remember them, the mud, and puddles, are bang on !! a couple of burnt out wrecks should also be included, also a couple of REALLY old cars as in 40/50's covered in green algae and dirt, should be at the bottom of the pile, with more modern, stuff teetering on top, my local breakers had 3 cars on top of each other, very dangerous stuff!!
DARRENBURY CENTRAL Hi really love the s yrd v good. Great tyre tracks idea. You could get a crane and a car crusher.Good puddels to. Tatty Bi
I have only subscribed to this channel for a few weeks and wow! The detai in your videos are amazing, I'm looking at putting together a scrap yard diorama from the very early 1980
Any chance a chance blue police box and a tall, curly haired gentleman with a long scarf might show up? He fits in ANY time. Jelly Baby? Also, for junkyard ambience could you make a barrel that had fire? Use a 3D print barrel with a flickering led to emulate fire?
The level of detail really reflects 1980s Britain, a scrapyard like that would have been in every town and city and I distinctly remember seeing cars stacked on top of one another on the various trips to scrapyards with my dad in search for a part for the second hand cars that he used to buy and they were always somewhere near the railway, fantastic!
Cheers, they certainly were much more common back then. Great places to go at the weekend. Glad you enjoyed it
Scrap man should have brand new Rolls-Royce
I just can not find any other better words than"EXCELLENT"..good job ...
Great scrapyard but you did say if there’s anything missing. You could do with a couple of things mate.
A batterd burnt out old skip. And a Old Ford transit with a Harvey frost Crain for recovery’s .
Hope this helps mate.
I remember in the 80’s we would buy ford escort mk1’s and 2’s for hundred and fifty quid in the scrappers do them up and run them .now they’re worth a kings ransom ,crazy thinking about it . Or the Rover V8’s they were about fifty we quid bought loads and converted series landrovers with them .now them engines are a small fortune to buy.loved scrap yards back then when you could root around and find anything you wanted .great job on the scene 👍👍
Do you happen to have a video where you show how to modify the cars such as panel removal, mimicing crash damage etc? I am creating a scene showing a Mini fanatic's garage and garden and want to have cars in various states of repair like doors off etc
The scrapyard looked great to begin with. But the changes make all the difference.
One thing you mentioned previously about concrete on the block of flats staying relatively clean differs a little from my memories growing up in barnehurst/erith in the 1980s and 1990s. The Dartford power station would cover concrete and paving slabs in lots of black dots as if someone had scattered pepper everywhere. Consequently none of the concrete ever looked particularly clean or uniform. It I think was partly due to it not being a constant use station, firing up at higher demand spikes. I don't think you need to change much however unless your modelled area has a power station nearby like that part of South East London.
some great progress has been made, particularly like the peak and the 59 videos. The dogfish video in relation to la's totally awesome, it has been suggested that elbow grease available from home bargains and one below works well. I plan to give a try some time on a bunch of old warhammer models I acquired and see how well it works, possibly in conjunction with an ultrasonic cleaner.
back in 1980ish, I brought an 18-month-old Rover SD1 2600, and an engine liner slipped wrecking the complete engine. Cos the the car has 25k on the clock Rover washed their hands of the trouble. After a search, I located an engine in a local scrap yard and I can confirm your model is pretty representative. Come at 2 o'clock the man said 'hold on a minute I have to load these two cars onto this lorry' and underneath them was my engine. IT was pulled out of the mud and a lot of brown stuff came out of it. Got it home cleaned it up and measured the crank bores etc and it measured up bang on nominal.
Hi Richard. Once again, you smashed it. How about an open day so we can see it for real? You would make loads of £££££ in the front door to your loft out the back door tea and biscuits in your back garden.....kids half price... 😂 seriously though I think the mugels need to see your work, and it needs to go on mainstream somehow. Leonardo, of the modelling world. Keep up your passion. Thanks for shearing.
Cars were just piled up about 3 high in an 80's scrapyard, if I remember it. Always plenty of 'scavengers' around. Now its all on racks and called 'dismantlers' plus you cant go and get your own parts.
A great little cameo would be someone putting something into a brazier to burn (maybe all those important bills and notices of rent due)
Also a small section of some dubious (chop shopped) cheap cars for sale wouldn't go a miss. It did tend to happen in the 1980's-1990's.
Great update on the scrap yard. I have 2 suggestions for decorative purposes which you may like.
(1) why don't you put a small led light under a bonnet of one of the cars and a guy giving the impression he is tinkering with it.
(2)Old Oil or petrol adverts hanging up on the fence by the river fading into the yard and also one hanging on the wall of the office building.
Again great viewing but I would livd to see a full Ariel view of your layout somewhere. I'd say it would be amazing to see.
From an avid Irish fan here in Dublin.
in 1966 I was 6 and the kid next door got married and gave me his toy cars, all from the 40s & 50s, I wish I had them now, what a collection of cars of the day, I also got his birds egg collection, rucksack scout smock hiking boots tent and compass, it was better than xmas day,
That 1985/86 Capri in the scrapyard is surely salvageable?
You have a real knack for chosing colors then aging them down perfectly. You completely kill the toy like appearance of miniature items. Everything looks like the slightly blurry, faded Polaroids from the time viewed now.
Amazing work
Interesting update.
I do believe should you decide to do more scrap yard lightning it needs to be a lighted utility pole at the hinged side of the access gate. This would be where a night guard or his ever watchful attack dog would view thieves making unlawful parts removals.
Also the entire yard, outside the garage, needs to be well lit.
I'm sorry to see the metal rack removed. I hope to see it put back into service soon.

ONLY 2 THINGS MISSING 1 A MOBILE CRANE WITH CLAW OR MAGNET 2 CAR COMPACTOR CRUSHER (VERY BASIC DESIGN TO COPY ) ALSO MOST SCRAPPY OWNERS HAD ROLLS ROYCE SILVER SHADOWS PARKED IN MANKY YARD AMAZING DETAILS BEST LAYOUT IVE SEEN LEARNED SO MUCH THINKING BUILDING OWN LAYOUT YOUR SCRAPYARDS PERIOD PERFECT FROM EARLY 80S SORRY CAPS LOCK FAULT GREAT VIDEO KEEP UP AMAZING WORK
Maybe a street light on the canal towpath just throwing a small amount of light over the fence might look OK. You are right when you say the scrapyards of the 60s and 70s rarely had lighting.
Richard The English "Luke Towan" superb thanks for the video
I drive trains upto Mossend, Bellshill, North Lanarkshire. There's a couple of trackside scrappies that are similar in size to your model. The one thing I would say is the track boundary fence on the model is very neat. The scappies have bent and damaged the real fence then patched it by wedging corrugated sheeting between cars and the fence posts.
People I knew in Enfield owned a scrap yard and had floodlights at certain locations, one being the main gate. These came on periodically and they had two German Shepherds that could trigger yard lights that sat below the fencing. So you could fit a couple of spots lights for night running filming, if you wanted
Saw the thumb nail clicked like, watched the video and wasn't disappointed fantastic build really like the detail like the corrugated iron walk way and just so you know our local scrap yard has had small flood lights on poles since 1986 I know this because my father installed them
Great layout! Reminds me of that ‘80’s video “small town boy” by the bronski beat. Keep up the great work
No 80's scrapyard is complete without a barrel brazier for burning all those unwanted pallets and keeping the lads warm on cold and rainy days. A little flickering light would definitely draw the eye to an already stunning layout.
Such an amazingly detailed layout. Magnificent. May I add a detail? Not sure how it is in the UK but in the US there would never be a license plate left on a junked car.
With all the runoff coming down that hill into the yard that would be one muddy place. The tire tracks are super appropriate. They should be mostly from the forklift though. What would be super cool is a rail spur with some gondolas for shipping prepared iron. Then have a couple of dudes cutting industrial scrap into prepared. Then finish it off with an excavator with a thumb or a crane with a magnet Loading the gondolas. But opinions are like buttholes. We all have them.
Hi Richard, I like the changes to the scrap yard, it does look wonderful, as does the whole layout, very impressive indeed. I was looking at the detail items you had, the stuff on the board you were weathering at one point, and I am not sure, but were those large plastic wheely bins with a wheel in each corner around in the 1980's................I'm not sure I recall seeing any back then. I'm sure someone will proove me wrong now, but I just wanted to ask the question! A great layout, truely inspirational................All the best Dave.
This is amazing! Watched your setting up the cars driving video as it come up in my suggested and then watched you other videos. Great work!. Love the washing machine in the canal. haha
Super details. I like the lighting over your whole layout. As I finish up some of my layout, I am going to add lighting as I go.
Cracking job, those body shells, my first thought was sierra.
It's been interesting watching the scrapyard evolve over time
Perhaps a yard light at the side of the arch? I'd have put the office one on the corner .
I gave seen poles but they're fed with overhead cables. They'd certainly , definitely not have had them professionally installed with underground electrics
my wargames club used to share an old railway tick office building with a model railway club i took them forever to build their layouts but i enjoyed watching them build the layouts
That white Ford Capri is taxed and was only MOT`ed on the 26th July , I think you best add a police car and a police man pointing at it lol
I always like your changing the scene. I think a man with a working cutting torch would look good, some rats, foxes
You could have added some cut of ends, and sides of cars in line with the edge of the board to infer that the car yard extends beyond the edge of the board.
Also, a scrapyard with no puddles?
Just a couple of suggestions for you.
Maybe think about changing the fence alongside the canal as well because realistically the corrugated panels would be on the inside of the fence.
It looks good. It really does. But, for what it's worth, I liked the random bits of junk.
Very nice work. If your tool boxes were in the states there would be stickers ( decals) all over them and girly calendars hanging on the backside...Again, very nice project in total..
It just physically hurts me how easy and natural you make this look. Many thanks for inspiring and depressing me. Just kidding!.
I wanted to say I loved the build originally and I love the upgrades too. Fantastic work on all accounts
Too much talk .... Sorry, most of people knows what is a tire.
Good job tho.
love the work, Could you simulate the moon lighting as well. The reflections would look good.
...needs an old bus..... every scrapyard needs an old bus and maybe a 20' container too.
As someone who worked in the motor trade and spent a lot of time in and around this type of premises, I can say with confidence that you have nailed it, spot on. 70s to early 90s before they changed to the more clinical "safer" car dismantling yards. I have no interest in model railways apart from viewing them on youtube if I stumble across on them, like I have with this one. I just felt I had to comment as it brought back many memories.
Have plenty of those toolboxes at work, still somewhat useful as long as you don’t need to carry them far.
I’d love to see some motorsport, whether it’s the scrapyard owner having a smashed up stock car in one corner or the garage next door having an Escort for some rallying. Nothing high level, just a celebration of the days where you could have a small business and afford to go play in the forests at the weekend, and build a competitive car cheaply and easily.
I love your videos and have been watching for a long time, but you have a really bad habit of talking in circles.
I’d have the cars right up to the edge of the scenic board at the front of the scrap yard…it would better imply rows and rows of cars out of shot…
I think the Blue Door Mini needs a reprieve! I don't think its time is up just yet! Would be nice if it was near the doors, as if the driver was finding yet another one for the other side!
It need the yard's owner. Dressed in a obvious cheap suit with a tie that totally does not fit with the suit. At least that was how those typical "i think i am a big rich businessman" would look like in the Netherlands back those days. Of coarse he ride a old Mercedes Benz which is just not bad enough to be part of the scrap yard. Oh, and don't forget his eternal cigar.
Maybe a pole light near the derelict lorry by the handrail would add a bit of interest and illuminate, dimly, other aspects of the yard
Just like the scrap yards I used to goto in the 80s with the cars piled three high😂. Great layout 👌
