There are some modellers who manage to make you think you are watching a video of a real setting rather than a model. You are certainly one of them.. Ive said before that your railway has been cut into the land that was there before. Always a pleasure
I’ve just been looking at this again, and it is quite unfathomable! There are loads of great model railways, but this one is so different. It is for real
The layout is becoming even better than anyone could have expected. The farmhouse on the hill is a brilliant idea as it adds depth to the scene, making the view from down on the station platform absolutely stunning. Can't wait to be able to work on one of my own when I'll get better and be able to work on my modelling again.
I love the way it is evolving , looks totally different with the new farmhouse . I bet that loo even has spiders in the corners , I recognise the type .
I know it's been said many times before Lewis, but everything about your modelling just oozes atmosphere. From the opening shot, the music, the trains running and the sound editing. Everything about it is pure class.
You've captured a moment in time with this layout, a little before my time, but I'm sure those that lived through it, would love to go back for one more day
Don't know why, but the expression "Elysian Fields" jumped into my head as I watched this video ... If only the real world were as magical as the one you portray ... Great "relaxation therapy" too!
Your modelling skills are just totally amazing Congratulations on always turning out realism on such a small scale. Those buildings look and feel as though you could just walk on in, hang up your coat hat and scarf light the fire and put your feet up with a nice pipe and a whisky. Nick Australia
Hey hey hey it’s Mouldy Thursday delight. Hello Lewis The new layout is coming along really well with all the little details that you have been adding. Great work on the farm house and I think that you nailed the sighting of it by putting it just over from the tunnel entrance. I am sure that we shall be treated with some great camera angles in the future. Stay safe, keep sharing and model on. Regards Lee@NEAR

¡Hola buenas tardes Lewis! Mike Peters beat me to my opening comments! Scratch builders are, in my humble opinion, the foundations of the hobby. Just building up my creative strengths to tackle more on the layout here. Pointers taken throughout this current series of build videos and, I hope newbies are taking notes as well. As ever Lewis, stay safe and well. Un saludo. Gary
Wonderful. It’s funny while I was watching, I caught myself thinking, “ oh, he cut that too short.” Or, “ that’s going to leave a gap.” Silly me. How dare I second guess the master! Beautiful scratch build. Wonderful setting. As always. See ya next time.
Hiya Lewis, that is absolutely awesome work. Love the way you just go straight at it and achieve fantastic results. That farmhouse is fantastic and very Cotswold stone looking which is perfect for my layout. Love the Wills kits and have just done one but as yet, unfinished. Great video, cheers for now, Chris
The attention to realism is always something that I appreciate. I'm looking forward to you adding more things to this area, as it already looks very lively and interesting. Love the shots with the moving locos through the rural landscape!
Bonjour Lewis, You're a master builder in creating wonderful natural and peaceful landscapes. The balans is perfect. Your video's invite to be reviewed again and again. It's a real joy to relax and dream away in your magic world ! Thanks for sharing your skills and imagination ! Best wishes, Filip.
The new farmhouse somehow adds depth to the scene even though it is not built in reduced scale. I like the detailing round the signalbox. Signalman must be eager to get away today waiting for his mate to come and relive him
Back to the Yorkshire dales for some scenic lessons from the master ,try not to dose off when the piano music starts. Brilliant, just Brilliant. Thank you.
Well you got me again! I thought that roof's never going to fit, and that's so rough and ready. Then suddenly "hey presto" it's an amazing scene which totally fits the space..............How do you do it. Brilliant..................oh and those trees, I need trees too, you might just have persuaded me to have a go myself.............something sadly missing on my own layout. Cheers and thanks again Lewis, stay safe and all the best, Dave.
Wonderful video mate. That farm house looks superbe and is a great addition to the layout. your attetion to detail is amazing well done on another fantastic video.- Nicholas.
Great use you made of the Wills plates. It looks easy to have a nice building with those materials. Anyway, it's still a nice landscape you are making now. Thanks for the scenery, I am going back to my paperback version of the railways in the Dales by writing a part of my railway mystery story this evening, and I will have some images in mind for the setting with your video. Thanks for the inspiration !
Many thanks for that total transport from where I am (France) to where I come from - the Yorkshire Dales (well, Pontefract, to be precise...). It's as good as a holiday when travelling is so difficult at the moment. Tom
You've created a superb scene there Mouldy, the big trees look amazing behind that farmhouse too. Some great techniques on show, straightforward and to the point, no excess needed. Top notch. Atb. Brian @ The Angels
Hi Lewis. Superb as always, or should I say stunning as that is the impression I got after watching this. I love the picturesque image of all the trees around and on top of the tunnel area. The cottage is superb. Again I'm highly impressed with your skills and attention to detail. As always another enjoyable video that was a pleasure to watch. Cheers Chris 👍👍👍😊.
You have a fantastic eye for detail. I was fearing for you fingers when you was cutting out the windows. I would be more than happy with the new layout as it is.
Great video I have used a very similar painting and weathering technique on a recent farm house build on my layout Westmorland and even put it into a video. The Geoscenics track grime is great for the weathering and lots of other stuff besides!! Thanks for sharing Lewis 👍 cheers Gary
Everything about your layout and your building progress is just so wholesome. Really gives me the wish to pay Britain a visit again. Keep up the great work! Greetings from Germany!
Although I dont do any railway modelling, (not since my days as a teenager, many MANY moons ago sometime in the last millenium) I do like to watch this take place and its actually theraputic to watch as you go about recreating part of Yorkshire (aka God's country!)
Always a pleasure seeing your videos sir, please keep it up! Would be grand to see a running session on the new layout soon! Love the wills builders sheets too, a great idea but sadly I find them tricky to cut ...
Having watched Misslethwaite evolve from the very beginning, I like your no nonsense approach to modelling. Some of the others spend so much time on product placement and over detailing that I lose the will to live let alone watch till the end of the video. M.R. your a star 💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫 Fantastic Opening Shot ( it's better than the real thing ) 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Have a look at using aluminium foil tape as a means of replicating lead flashing for roofs. It's used in the air con industry for dealing ducting, comes on a roll around 4" wide and is very sticky. It can be painted or weathered to take away the brightness if required.
I love the signal man's shithouse in corrugated iron. I can just imagine him sitting in there with his railway trousers around his ankles,dropping his guts.
This layout just gets better and better!! Made me chuckle when I saw the signalman on the floor. Thought drunk at work? 😂. Very impressed with the building you’ve made too. Makes me think I should try and build one myself one day. Looking forward to the next episode 👍🏻
There are some modellers who manage to make you think you are watching a video of a real setting rather than a model. You are certainly one of them.. Ive said before that your railway has been cut into the land that was there before. Always a pleasure
Thank you Martin, that’s very kind of you!
I won't get ANY sleep tonight knowing there's that gap in the roof!!! You're killing me Lewis. You're killing meeeee. 😜
Haha I should have cut that out and you’d never have known! 🤣
This man's like the Bob Ross of model railways, you can't see how he can possibly make something look better and then he just goes ahead and does
Thanks Mitchell! 😀
Everytime I see this layout it just gets better and better. A Work of Art !
Thank you 😀
You create landscapes I want to live in. Incredible skill. A joy to watch you at work.
Thank you Andy!
I'd like to live in that farmhouse if it ever needs an occupant ;) Love your videos, so relaxing in this crazy world! Many thanks MR
Thanks Simon! 😀
I’ve just been looking at this again, and it is quite unfathomable! There are loads of great model railways, but this one is so different. It is for real
Thank you John!
You are very very welcome!
My friend always a pleasure to watch you videos. Thank you for taking the time to film and post. Always looking forward to the next one. Legend bro 👍🏻
Cheers Johan, glad you like them bud 👍🏻

Thank you very much Eric, I'm glad you like it so far.
I love the way it is evolving , looks totally different with the new farmhouse . I bet that loo even has spiders in the corners , I recognise the type .
Thank you. I certainly wouldn’t fancy using it I can tell you that!
Magic. You make it look too easy M R👍.
I know it’s been said many times before Lewis but you just seem to have a natural ability to be a railway modeller can’t get enough of your vids. 🚂🚃🚃🚞
Thanks Denis 😀
Great to see a master artist at work! Awesome stuff as ever Lewis 👍
Thanks Andrew! 👍🏻
I know it's been said many times before Lewis, but everything about your modelling just oozes atmosphere. From the opening shot, the music, the trains running and the sound editing. Everything about it is pure class.
That’s very kind of you Mike, thank you!
Another great Thursday pick me up. Thanks for sharing your work and knowledge 😀
Thanks Greg 😀
Always a treat to watch, thank you for uploading!
Thanks 😀
I love it! From dry, hot southwest USA, your trains make me feel like I’m in the Yorkshire Dales! Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
Thanks Richard!
Another lesson from the master, brilliant scratch build Lewis.
Thank you 👍🏻
That was another fantastic video i loved the new building and the detail around the signal box all done by a master modeller 😎😎😎
Thanks Mike 👍🏻
I am really enjoying watching this series, the result is a stunning railway. You create atmosphere effortlessly. Beautiful.
Thanks very much 👍🏻
As Always, wonderful, the creator of magical real railways !
Thank you John.
That was truly beautiful to watch from beginning to end. Thanks for sharing, Roy.
Thank you Roy.
Always a joy watching a master craftsman at work. Not just the modelling but the sound and editing too. Thanks for another wonderful video.
Thanks, glad you liked it.
The detail and lighting make all the difference. Well done
Thank you 👍🏻
Brilliant opening scene. Properly realistic!!!
Thank you.
Thanks for another great video, I always look forward to the updates. The farmhouse looks absolutely amazing👍🏻
Thanks Stephen 👍🏻
Your scenic work is simply outstanding
Thank you!
You've captured a moment in time with this layout, a little before my time, but I'm sure those that lived through it, would love to go back for one more day
Thank you, I’m sure they would.
Don't know why, but the expression "Elysian Fields" jumped into my head as I watched this video ...
If only the real world were as magical as the one you portray ...
Great "relaxation therapy" too!
Thanks Roger, glad you liked it. That would be a good name for a station actually!
Your modelling skills are just totally amazing
Congratulations on always turning out realism on such a small scale.
Those buildings look and feel as though you could just walk on in, hang up your coat hat and scarf light the fire and put your feet up with a nice pipe and a whisky.

Beautiful work! Coming together very nicely. Love that new Farmhouse.
Thank you 👍🏻
Wonderful. It’s funny while I was watching, I caught myself thinking, “ oh, he cut that too short.” Or, “ that’s going to leave a gap.” Silly me. How dare I second guess the master! Beautiful scratch build. Wonderful setting. As always. See ya next time.
Ha thanks Norman, always appreciate it. The key is hiding all those damn gaps!
I thought the same, to my regret!
As my mum said, measure twice, cut once. Did I listen? Ha!
Some great and simple techniques here Lewis. Thank you.
Thanks 👍🏻
Your attention to detail is fantastic Lewis
Thanks Steve 👍🏻
Perfect Layout 👍😍 Kind regards Björn
Thank you 😀
Bravo young man...lovely looking farmhouse. For 11 minutes I was oblivious to the world around me. All the best.
Thanks Tim, glad you enjoyed it.
Fantastic modelling, coming alive at every step...
Thank you David.

Thank you. You're right, he looks like he has somewhere to be!
Pure class indeed. Great to watch and to try to emulate. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Alex 👍🏻

Thanks Dave! A little time consuming but they’re worth the effort I think. Let me know if you decide to give them a go.
@@MouldyRaspberry Thanks I will send you a photo, if and when I get around to giving tree building a go.
Total Genius at work!!!! Superb!!!!
Thanks Dave!
I haven't checked by for a couple of weeks. I must say the layout is looking really good.
Thank you Jim, glad you think so.
Another lovely film.
Thanks Martyn!
Wonderful video mate. That farm house looks superbe and is a great addition to the layout. your attetion to detail is amazing well done on another fantastic video.- Nicholas.
Thanks Nicholas.
Am I the only one running out of superlatives over this master builder, master painter and master creator ?
Thank you 😀😀

Fantastic very well done looks so realistic thank you for this video Brilliant
Thank you 👍🏻
Beautiful! Congrats! 👏
Thank you 👍🏻
You have a fantastic eye for detail. I was fearing for you fingers when you was cutting out the windows. I would be more than happy with the new layout as it is.
Thank you. Still little bits to add but I think you’re right, probably time to start filming some trains running.
Great video I have used a very similar painting and weathering technique on a recent farm house build on my layout Westmorland and even put it into a video. The Geoscenics track grime is great for the weathering and lots of other stuff besides!! Thanks for sharing Lewis 👍 cheers Gary

Fantastic looking really good
Thank you!
Excellent Mr Mouldy. You can always take up painting and decorating if your'e stuck!
Thanks John! 😀
Great work - looks excellent
Thank you.
Superb Lewis!
Thanks Leon 👍🏻
Marvellous. I’ve ordered a thesaurus for the next video.
Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic, it’s good to see a project come together isn’t it?
Absolutely! Thank you.
Everything about your layout and your building progress is just so wholesome. Really gives me the wish to pay Britain a visit again. Keep up the great work!
Greetings from Germany!
Thank you, appreciate it!
I wish I had 1/10th. of your artistic ability Lewis. I'm lost for words. David.
Thank you David.
Brilliant simple thankyou for the video
Thanks Mark!
Although I dont do any railway modelling, (not since my days as a teenager, many MANY moons ago sometime in the last millenium) I do like to watch this take place and its actually theraputic to watch as you go about recreating part of Yorkshire (aka God's country!)
Thank you, glad you enjoy the videos!
Its looking excellent, love watching the evolution and your techniques.
Thanks Scot
Only a minute ago I was thinking must be time for another MR video :)
Good timing! 😀 Hope you liked it.
Always a pleasure seeing your videos sir, please keep it up!
Would be grand to see a running session on the new layout soon!
Love the wills builders sheets too, a great idea but sadly I find them tricky to cut ...
Thank you. I agree with you, they’re not always the easiest to work with. I think it’s at a point where it’s ready for a running session next week!
Interesting An excellent video, Keep up the good work :)

Pure art, stunning - you make it look so easy.
Thank you.
looks fantastic
Thank you 👍🏻
Brilliant as always Lewis. Nearly time to get HM back.. :-) Greg, NZ
Thanks Greg. There’s a possibly they’re coming in September for a feature in the Autumn!
Have a look at using aluminium foil tape as a means of replicating lead flashing for roofs. It's used in the air con industry for dealing ducting, comes on a roll around 4" wide and is very sticky. It can be painted or weathered to take away the brightness if required.
Great suggestion Malcolm - thank you. I’ll look into that.
Brilliant idea Malcolm!! We have that stuff at work so I shall have to snaffle a bit and try it out. Thank you.
Awesome mate..!!
Thanks!
Excellent!
Thanks!
I love the signal man's shithouse in corrugated iron. I can just imagine him sitting in there with his railway trousers around his ankles,dropping his guts.
