A Farmhouse, a Signalman’s Loo and More Scenery - New Layout Part 7 - Yorkshire Dales Model Railway
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- This week I made more progress on the new layout.
Firstly, used coffee stirrers to create a base of blanks around the signal box. I painted this with Geoscenics track grime wash. Next I added some sheds and a loo around the signal box. I also added a lineside hut here and some clutter such a coal sacks and barrels.
Next up I made a start on the farmhouse scene. To level off an area of scenery, I used Sculptamold and a piece of left over foam board. Once dry I painted this brown and added a road using Geoscenics road ash.

I made the house itself from Wills stone sheets as usual. The window and doors are also from the Wills range. I painted this with emulsion paints and once dry, gave the whole thing a wash of Geoscenics track dirt.

I cut a slice out the landscape to slot the house into.
Finally, I added more trees behind and around the house before running out of seafoam! Still plenty to add on this part of the layout, so I’ll continue here in another update.
As always, thanks for watching. - Розваги
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 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!
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!
Thanks John, appreciate it.
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.
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.
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! 😀
Another great Thursday pick me up. Thanks for sharing your work and knowledge 😀
Thanks Greg 😀
Great clip yet again and the building is just brillent and you make it look so easy .Nice overal finish............await next update.............
Thank you Paul!

Wow high praise Bob - thank you very much, as always.
Always a treat to watch, thank you for uploading!
Thanks 😀
Interesting An excellent video, Keep up the good work :)
Thank you 😀
Serdeczne Podziękowania z Wyrazami Uznania. 👍👌👏🤗 🚂🚃🚃🚃. (h).
Dziękuję Ci :)
Cutting like that with a stanley knife. Bad idea!!! I have the battle scars to prove it 😖😖😖
A good craft knife set and hand drill will do you wonders for your scratch building, which just looks incredible! Your models deserve awards. They're stunning.
Mike.
Thanks Mike - I’ll bare that in mind!
Lewis, yet another master class in atmospheric backgrounds and believable buildings!
I hope your search for Cinéma vérité, will not include planting out vegetables, sourced with night soil culled from the signallers closet? TMI?
Well done, again. Peter
Thank you Peter. You know, I was thinking of adding a veg patch somewhere around that area. I’ll have to leave it up the viewer as to where any fertiliser was sourced!
Hi Lewis great piece of work ,it’s looking just spectacular.G.🚂🚂🇬🇧
Thanks Big G 😀
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 👍🏻
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
Thanks Tom, glad you liked it.
Thanks for another great video, I always look forward to the updates. The farmhouse looks absolutely amazing👍🏻
Thanks Stephen 👍🏻
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!
I, too, thought you were ruining things at the start. The styrofoam flat top hill looked ridiculous; the horrible gaps on the farmhouse roof were major errors; the coffee stirrers were hideous!
By the time you finished my opinion changed! It all looks perfect. Your buildings have been in place for a hundred years and your hills for eons. Even the loo has an imagined unsavory odour.
Have you ever tried using smaller buildings in your background scenes to force the perspective? You could represent a distant village with a few N-scale buildings along a backdrop.
Thanks Steven, glad you liked it. I’ve never tried it, but would like to give us a go. Especially if I had a layout where the baseboards were a bit deeper.
That was truly beautiful to watch from beginning to end. Thanks for sharing, Roy.
Thank you Roy.
Love the music, incredibly complimentary to your format. So reassuring, if that makes sense?
Thanks Alex 👍🏻
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!
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
Thanks Lee. Glad you think so - I’ve been trying to keep the camera angles in mine when building this one!
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 !
Thank you Olivier. You’re welcome, hope the creativity is flowing!
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
Thanks Gary, appreciate it 👍🏻
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! 🤣
I am really enjoying watching this series, the result is a stunning railway. You create atmosphere effortlessly. Beautiful.
Thanks very much 👍🏻
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.
¡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
Thanks Gary, appreciate it and glad you’ve found the useful. You too!
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
Thanks Chris. Let me know how you get on with it.
Oh no you won't continue. It's too hot for that. The scenery is 100% complete as far as I can see. You've done more than enough already. Any more detail added will spoil the effect completely. Leave it as it is, it looks good. Loved the two steamies. How on earth you will manage to get a running session on this and the one in your loft, I can't imagine. However, never put down coffee-stirrer sticks before you've painted them first. Doing so results in paint splashing on to the rails, which is not what any modeller wants to deal with. I'll bet your first video of both layouts together will be a disaster. Remember that no-one is perfect at what they do. Even the pros make mistakes. You may be a master modeller in your own mind, to me, you're just an amateur out for fun.
I certainly don’t claim to be a master Kelly! 😂
Pure class indeed. Great to watch and to try to emulate. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Alex 👍🏻
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!
Some great and simple techniques here Lewis. Thank you.
Thanks 👍🏻
Perfect Layout 👍😍 Kind regards Björn
Thank you 😀
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.

Thanks Nick, appreciate it!
Wunderbar, Modellbau vom Feinsten. 👏👏👏👏👏👌👍

Danke 😀
You create landscapes I want to live in. Incredible skill. A joy to watch you at work.
Thank you Andy!
I am totally amazed by the way you just attacked a build, stab some plastic walling and roofing with a knife and cutters. Then just seemingly slap it all together only to end up with a beautifully crafted cottage. I think I’d just end up with a pile of useless plastic.
Thank you Rob! 😀
Great to see a master artist at work! Awesome stuff as ever Lewis 👍
Thanks Andrew! 👍🏻
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.
Thank you very much Eric, I'm glad you like it so far.
Superb detailing and visually stunning. Sadly the pedant in me asks would they really build a switch and signal box directly over a canal tunnel?
Thanks Brian, appreciate it. They would on this layout!
looking good keep up the good vid you do on your layout on your layout stay safe thanks four the good vids lee
Cheers Lee 👍🏻
Another great vid.
This series certainly isn't getting mouldy!
Haha thanks!
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.
Thanks Tom. That’s true, it’s very sleepy music!
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.
Ha so can I!
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.
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
Thank you. You're right, he looks like he has somewhere to be!
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.
Another lesson from the master, brilliant scratch build Lewis.
Thank you 👍🏻
Beautiful! Love the detailing and the atmosphere you create
Thanks Mark 👍🏻
Another master class of making modelling look so easy.
I did wonder if you had made a mistake with house roof. Still not sure but it looks great regardless.
Not sure about the Loo though, you could almost smell it.
For me there is one error in the intro, the point is set wrong, surely it should be set to go to the head shunt buffers and not on to the running line, Cross overs work together ?
Mark
Thanks Mark. I just left the back of the roof unfinished as you can’t actually see it when it’s on the hill. I wonder how many times I’m going to forget to change those points in future videos - well spotted!
Hi Lewis. very nice indeed looks great, is the cottage based on one you have seen and when you were making the windows did you use a fret saw, and I wondered if doing it that way is quicker than scribing away at the plastic that stuff is rather thick. nice layout Lewis I like the loo and shed you put in nice little touch that its those little things that matter. keep em coming Lewis.
Thanks Tony. Nowhere in particular, but I did look at quite a few photos online to get some ideas. A feet saw probably would have worked better! The Stanley knife works okay but I could do with a fresh blade on mine. Thanks again 😀
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!
I wonder what happened to all those model railroad magazines i use to subscribe to? I can get more out of these videos than a years worth of magazines!
Thanks Gary. I agree, a lot of the magazines here produce UA-cam content as well now which is good.
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! 😀
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 👍🏻
Yet again, another excellent video.
Im really enjoying these👍
Thank you 👍🏻
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!
You can use modpodge gloss and an airbrush on the canal to give it a rippled effect
I think I’ll try that at some point.
Am I the only one running out of superlatives over this master builder, master painter and master creator ?
Thank you 😀😀
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!
Fantastic very well done looks so realistic thank you for this video Brilliant
Thank you 👍🏻
Nice to see. But small question, what is the name and artist of the track at 6:37? It’s very relaxing
Thank you. It’s Falls by Keith Kennif.
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 ) 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Thanks Tim, appreciate it. I’ve not got the patience for that!
Brilliant simple thankyou for the video
Thanks Mark!
Why is it so flippin easy for you, it would take me ages just to think about. It all looks brilliant well done
Thanks Barry!
Wonderful work!was that hair spray or adhesive U used after the grass and on the tree? Keep up the great work.
Thank you. Yes I used hairspray👍🏻
I like the weathering on your buildings and rolling stock.
Thank you 👍🏻
Lewis, simply brilliant, by the way how many trees are on your layout. Cheers Greg
Thanks Greg! I reckon about 12 of the big trees, then in between I’ve got more seafoam just not glued onto the armatures.
Only a minute ago I was thinking must be time for another MR video :)
Good timing! 😀 Hope you liked it.
Absolutely fantastic, it’s good to see a project come together isn’t it?
Absolutely! Thank you.
That farm house looks amazing great video might have go at one my self see how far I get lol 😁😁😁
Thanks Dan. Go for it! 😀
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.
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.
Brilliant opening scene. Properly realistic!!!
Thank you.
Marvellous. I’ve ordered a thesaurus for the next video.
Thank you!
Loving watching you making the props too.
Thanks 😀
Everytime I see this layout it just gets better and better. A Work of Art !
Thank you 😀
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.
Fantastic modelling, coming alive at every step...
Thank you David.
Your scenic work is simply outstanding
Thank you!
@mouldyraspberry great realism on your great layout ❤️ what track is this at 06:37
Thankyou
Thank you 👍🏻 it’s all code 100 Peco track
@@MouldyRaspberry i ment what youtube music track 😁
Total Genius at work!!!! Superb!!!!
Thanks Dave!
Lamp shed looks good but not sure it would have a door facing the track that close. Lots of trip hazards. H and S didn't exist then. Great modeling.
Thank you, I could do with a railing!
@@MouldyRaspberry That would probably do the trick. Love your videos.
So, here's a holistic question; where is 'Misselthwaite' in relation to the station here?
I imagine the four terraced cottages just behind the station building as being the edge of the village. I think I added those in the previous update.
"Never give up on your dreams my son": James McCloud from Star Fox.
Good quote!
@@MouldyRaspberry Thanks!
Bravo
Thanks 👍🏻
How many, like me, can't wait for part 8?
Glad you're enjoying them John!
Its looking excellent, love watching the evolution and your techniques.
Thanks Scot
Beautiful! Congrats! 👏
Thank you 👍🏻
H&S would be crying for a grab rail and railings in front of the signal box. Imagine the signalman desperately shifting to get a load off his mind shuffling along that single plank, especially if it’s raining. He’ll start with wanting to get a load off his mind and finish with a weight taken off his shoulders! ☠️
Very good idea Edd, some railings would probably looks quite good there.
Looks great... Sorry but the music is poor and does not add anything...
No need to apologise Nick,but I’ll forgive you. You know you can mute the video and play whatever you like in the background right?
@@MouldyRaspberry see everard junction videos he gives an excellent audio commentary to what is going on ... The music you use in overlay is soppy and not nessasary .. of course I know I can turn the sound down! Patronising!
Absolutely stunning work!!
Thank you very much!
Absolutely fantastic video! Your layout looks superb. Fancy coming and helping start mine!? Haha
Thanks Andrew, glad you liked it. Sure!
Awesome as usual Lewis!! Cheers Onno.
Thanks Onno.
The detail and lighting make all the difference. Well done
Thank you 👍🏻
Perfect! Thank you.
Thanks 😀
I love how you come up with all the smaller detailing items. Such a stunning layout and many thanks for sharing your processes.
Thank you, appreciate it.
Excellent series bloody great, just one thing what is that piece of music at the beginning Ive heard it before but cant place it cheers
Thanks Greg. That’s ‘the Moment’ by Robert Miller.
@@MouldyRaspberry cheers for the info, is the new branch going to have catering lol
