New Layout Build - Farm Bridge Detail
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- This one follows on from the previous video concerning the scenic break at the countryside section of the layout. With most of the basics complete I turn my attention to the much needed details, trees and bushes. I also complete some more work to better hide the transition for this end of the layout.
Always more bits to do but I'm pleased with the progress so far. I'm looking forward to continuing the scenery further up the line. Enjoy

I am 64 years old and have never built my own layout well Im going to keep watching you while i do mine
Richard your standard of modelling is absolutely top notch…but the relatable way in which you explain your techniques really is the icing on the cake. I used to visit and photograph from a bridge in Lower Basildon, in the Thames Valley in the early eighties. This scene is highly reminiscent of that location as I remember it.
To the point that, when he changed to 'real footage' at 12'39", for a few seconds I thought it was back to his model!
Time to stop everything and watch Everard Junction ! :D
Definitely correct
Must watch...... What's that burning in the oven?
An absolute artist with incredible vision and practical skills to convert the vision into reality - amazing!
Them point motors are M63 type aka knuckle scrapers.
I’m enjoying these videos Richard ,keep them coming
Hit the like button before even watching the video as i know its gonna be good
I have binge-watched a load of your videos over the last few weeks and loved them Richard. I am not a modeller and don't have the skill to start, but love looking at model railways and really admire your work. I have loved watching the 'new' layout grow over a few years (condensed into a few weeks for me). I think the terrace houses are Georgian (fan shaped fan-light, not the Victorian oblong style) which fits perfectly with the 'story' of the railway being built at some point after the houses, probably taking the land at the back that was their garden, and signalling the change in the houses from dwellings for families to flats. Really looking forward to further updates - thanks for your devotion to sharing the detail with the world.
My wife happened to come up behind me as I had momentarily paused the video on a shot of the road that passes over the bridge, even before you had added the trees. She asked me why I was just staring at a road. She was amazed when I explained that it was actually part of a model railroad. "It looks so real!". I cannot think of a higher compliment. Well done, Sir!
Brilliant, mission accomplished! Cheers
A quick suggestion for a future project. Turn the area around the 6 uncompleted house into a new build construction site.
Another top job done Richard. The scene looks fantastic and is a great reference point for us all to follow…regards, Chris
Gee, the boy does good. I admire your patience at waiting for things to dry before proceeding.
Once again a very informative and lovely video. Thank you.
Great work. I'm both inspired and a little intimidated by your wonderful eye for detail.
Absolutely stunning Richard! That has to be the most realistic scenic break ever modelled by anyone. By creating a bridge that you can see both sides of, rather than just the usual tunnel, it very convincingly gives the illusion there is no scenic break at all and trains out of view carry on for miles in a straight direction past the bridge. Fiddle yard, what fiddle yard?
this man is an absolute artist! always a pleasure to watch. the little field looks really true to life
Hello Richard, as you may recall I have said it before and I am happy to say it again, and that is your attention to detail is outstanding. What you achieve gives the scene a very natural look to a point one could be excused for thinking you are looking at a real life scene. Congrats. Cheers Greg
Just the thing I need after a stressful day 😃
Same here especially as we had a Virgin TV outage ;)
This is absolutely our of the world. Just the sheer attention to detail is unreal
Just superb, points motor and cables are just great, nice touch. I also appreciate the way you describe your how-to. Thanks and stay safe.
Absolutely fantastic details mate. If my layout turns out half as good I will be really pleased. Keep safe.
Your show is like watching paint dry. Except its awesome and tension filled!
Awesome job Richard!!! Well done! Cheers Onno.
Fantastic work on the fields and foliage, I can image a few crows or a kestrel sitting on the fence posts.
Always love to watch and admire how other people manage to get their model effects
Absolutely amazing I look forward to your videos. And after that you know there's a 'but' coming... fence posts are never brown even when new. They are a pale greyish green new and become almost silver grey, and fade into the back ground. The footpath around the field goes into the corner, people never walk to a right angle, they cut the corner. I offer this to help, certainly not criticise, your work is truly excellent.
I'll add that to my list of small jobs left for the scene. Cheers for the advice. There's a few walks local to me were people have cut the corner. Also some where the corners are walked but that might be due to crops or grass length.
Your attention to detail is fantastic. Farm land maybe some sheep ? Again love the layout workable and detailed. Really great .
That field at the front is just where you'd expect a temporary grazing ground with some rundown troughs and the like. Awesome work as always!
It needs a cows or sheep. Just one or two.
Or a piece of worn out farming equipment, like a hay trailer or some such.
A run down caravan and some shabby looking horse stables and a couple of horses?
BRILLIANT ,, Richard you are a truly talented man, your layout is Absolutely amazing,, keep em coming ,,THANK YOU 👌
Great work Richard. Might I suggest your meadow would be improved by the inclusion of wild flowers, ie buttercups, cow parsley and thistles etc. Would add a splash of colour.
Yes, that's one of the small jobs I have planned for this area in future. Would also look good around the fences. Cheers
This was brilliant. You are clearly very talented with the scenery. Loved the running shots at the end. Truly excellent. Thank you for amazing video
Looks really good Richard. One thing I would suggest, would be a worn path up from the relay cabinets to where the BR van is!
Richard I feel the biggest Donkey, I watched you fit the fence, laying it flat and drilling the post positions. Why have I always measured to drill holes. Hee haw hee haw 😂😂😂 never too old to learn.
Mate I've been interested in model trains since I was a kid I'm 52 now still got some of my hornby train sets from the late 70s just thought about getting into modelling but seeing your work mate your an artist it's brilliant I'd love to do something like your set up just don't think I'd have the skill or the patience thing is I used to be a farmer and now I'm a digger driver ,I've got a good eye for landscaping
The scene looks great and the detail as well great job worth all the effort 😀👍
If ever I win the Euro Millions I will have to employ Richard for a few years!! Great work!!
Brilliant update fella and as always your work is amazing. Oh to have a gram of your skill. Be safe fella
Looks great. I see you are famous on the Hornby show over on the yesterday channel with other You Tubes. Thanks for sharing. 👍😀
Great video and the trainspotter on the bridge is a great touch.
I love the fact that the fence isn't perfectly straight. There's bends, it's a bit twisted by the years it's been through, it's stained dirty from dust and dirt. Something like that can really set a scene to life.
Amazing detail work.
Every video just gets better and better. And the commentary and soundtrack is bloody awesome too.
Well played mate, well played!
Absolutely exemplary modelling! It's really coming together and looking stunning. Really well thought out and love the backstory you have for each element.
Well done again, as a railway S&T Tech for 30+ years now, as a youngster I remember digging in the orange pipes and then digging them back out lol, it’s lovely to see someone add just a nod to those little everyday details that were everywhere, think you got the right level of detail, as too much can over complicate the scene
Fantastic channel and content, never really been into trains and not done model making but this vlogs are so relaxing and interesting.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
That's the best-modelled field I've ever seen! Well done that man. Time for some cows and cow pats now?!
Another gobsmacking masterclass, Richard. I admire your attention to detail and the way you think about how you will see it when finished. When to add, when not to add. We always change our views at times, but you have a vision and follow it and add to it as the layers demand it. Well done, as always!
Your attention to detail is fantastic.
just bought my first train set thanks to you Flying Scotsman happy new year
Back in the 1990's i worked for British Rail, during the time of its break up and privatisation. I was privileged during that time to walk the Channel Tunnel Route from Tonbridge to Ashford. Watching the detailing here looks exactly like my experience trackside. Thanks for sharing.
Only thing I can say to all of this. Brilliant. Very well done.
Very cleverly done!Not many people take the detail into the fiddle yard,but really makes all the difference, love the fences and when you show what things are like in real life to reflect on the model. Really great!👍🙂
Very well made and so realistic...this shows a lot of painstaking work and lots of patience....
I really appreciate the attention to detail. This is coming along nicely. Great job 👍
Amazing layout can't wait for the next video. Great to see you on yesterday Hornby. Realy inspiring.
Fantastic music choice. Everything is looking amazing.
Fantastic as always 👍👍👍👍💯
Brilliant Richard, so realistic, if I was there as a youngster with my mates I'd be on the bridge or standing on the fence . Keep it up mate .
Worth the wait! Cunning plan with the scenic break and fiddle yard embankment; and the rear embankment and road looks good, too. The field looks splendid. It would definitely suite some horses, I think - there were (and I think possibly still are) some fields with horses alongside the London Paddington to Slough section of the GWML.
Was sat at the model railway club when the notification came through, i knew what i was doing as soon as i got home
Nice job! Love the detail.
Looking good, congrats on your approach to the model scene and on your UA-cam following
When we started using the orange pipe to put the cables through, I suspect that some tamper drivers deliberately aimed for them and must have found it funny to get a direct hit with their prongs.
Great capture of the atmosphere of the time. I probably wore a black Pea-jacket or great-coat with just a hi-vis' vest over it and jeans or trousers. None of this hard hat and "orange everything" back then. The old boy I worked with always wore a flat cap.
Thanks for the info. Certainly a lot of the the pictures and footage I've found shows Jeans with the small hi-vis jacket
Amazing details and creativity. Perfect steps to get on with your layout. Kind regards, Valentin.
Excellent work Richard
Just really great!!! Also, a compliment on your musical queues as well... particularly (in order of my preference): 6:44-7:08; 33:22-33:38; 37:10-37:48 . great job!
Mind blowing. The section of railway is so realistic, your attention to the little details make all the difference. So inspirational. So looking forward to the next update but know the time will be a while. So patient with all this work but the result is fantastic. Thankyou for the videos and the tutorials. Marc
Always a treat to watch the vision come together a bit at a time! Great way to relax with a big cup of coffee and snacks before heading out to keep at my own projects... All the very best from Canada...
Love the look of this very much. I really enjoy seeing your progress here and can't wait to get stuck in on my own layout when I've got more space to make a start. Only suggestion I have is to give the walkers in that field somewhere to go. A set of steps up the embankment from the field to the muddy track with a stile in the fence at the top would look good. You often see these done like you did that step to the relay cabinet. A board with earth piled behind for each step.
Absolutely superb!
Love your videos! I have a suggestion to give the layout a little more 'life'. Maybe add some birds or wildlife in the trees and bushes. A rookery in a couple of trees would be cool! If it's even possible.. Keep up the good work!
Awesome Richard, just awesome!
WOW, outstanding work. ....Add a few cows or sheep to the field in the farm bridge build
a decrepit gypsy wagon would be perfect in the corner of the field. maybe a couple hare hanging out calling it home. everything is looking amazing keep the videos coming, please
realistic railway modeling, with great depth & perspective!
To the high standard we have all come to know & love,
From my all time favourite railway modeling channel Everard Junction ❤️
I don’t have the time, space or skill to do this, so thanks for continuing to post these so I can enjoy your layout.
I did something similar to my layout. To hide the curve at the board end I built a tall retaining wall on both sides of the track to bridge support level. Like you I saw the unfinished entrance to the fiddle yard. So I carried on with the high wall. And it worked just gave an illusion of everything carrying on .
Some great track level running shots looks very realistic.
Thanks for sharing
Regards
Jeff
Great job, the bridge looks very good, on timeline 41:25 can you add some muddy water puddles near the tire tracks, will enhance the off road look.
Hello Richard saying hello from Canada
As usual great work👍 really enjoy watching your work
excellent as ever Richard..that area would make a great horse riding school with well trodden areas of ground..keep the videos coming,you have a natural eye for detail,very skilled.
I still marvel at the level of detail achieved here and wonder what's coming next...and it never fails to amaze me...
Kudos on your layout. One of the most realistic and convincing I have seen. Great work!!! ----Mike
Oh Richard!! This is stunningly good. I have continued scenary through bridges at fiddle yard entrances for years. It really makes such a difference. It all looks so easy but as you point out this is a months worth of work. Personally I rather liked the front field before you added the grass but it has to be said it does look superb.
You really have got the trees and shrubbery in the right volume, size and height. A very difficult thing to achieve.
It just all looks so real!!
Cheers, Bob
Thanks Bob. I did find it a bit tough to strike the right balance with the trees. In the end I decided on less trees and far more shrubs, seems to look more convincing. Cheers
WHOA! Steady there Dick old chap... Ease back on the audio gain, if playing rock right from the start of the video... I jumped-out-of-my-skin and so did my hi-fi speakers! And I spilled my tea.... Not good to start a video with a CRASH, especially considering that someone like me, might have been watching another channel which had a lower audio gain level. Not eveyone watches UA-cam on a mobile phone, I watch UA-cam through a lounge entertainment system incorporated into my 37'' (TV) monitor and stereo hi-fi. Please bear that in mind, a little 'fade-in' at the start of audio would suffice. That said - music is good.
.
Now that my pulse has returned to normal... Excellent work on that scenic break, it was exactly how I envisaged it should look, especially the false embankment and all-important ballasting beyond the bridge. The foliage looks fantastic, as does that lovely muddy farm road. Track furniture looks very realistic, as per your research photos and that open field is very authentic.
Superb work as always Richard.
As usual great work, I am a driver for LNER at Edinburgh and it was nice to be reminded of a class 91 rolling into the Sub! always a pleasure to watch your uploads!
Love these videos! The level of detail in the grass is outstanding! It’s great you’ve set it in the 80s too . Have you ever thought of having a burnt out Car in the scenery? Growing up I always remember old Ford Escorts being burnt out in fields.
I've done that in other areas of the layout before. I wanted a more rural cleaner spot here as the rest of the layout has lots of litter, graffiti and 80s grit. It can get a bit much so I'm trying to strike a balance here. Cheers
One thing among others that makes this layout stunning is that the track and trains look like it belongs in the scenery, by that I mean the sence of realism is spot on, the landsacåe dominates the trains, not the other way around. We have to compress the scenes but having enough and right details it comes alive as we tend to try to have too much going on the layouts making city scens way too compressed to the point that the city is shorter than a loco with four coaches.... Job well done! Cheers!
Seeing the excellence of your work I had assumed that you were of a certain age with many years of experience, then I saw you on TV on the Hornby series and realised that you are quite young. If you improve with age, like a fine wine or a good cheese, your future work will be even more wonderful. Difficult to imagine how you could improve on your current skills though.
Cheers, I'm often mistaken for an older chap! Hope to continue improving my skills, always something to learn.
That's sensational.....looks superb.
Looks absolutely brilliant. Love it. The only comment I make is the I think those point machines are normally installed so that they "point" to the vee of the turnout. So you might have yours the wrong way round! Still look superb, though
Just been watching Hornby a model world and saw little snip it's from your layout being shown then low and behold episode 6 there you are. Love the layout keep up the good work
What a master piece!
Hi Richard another master class in landscaping, thank you for sharing your techniques and methods very enjoyable to watch. Please take care and remember to stay safe..
Cheers Barry, glad you enjoyed it.
Coming along very well. Richard I love your trees and bushes. They look so realistic and very randomly placed. A great touch to add that great depth to the layout. Perfect!
Many thanks Richard for an entertaining and instructive presentation. The scene that you have created is truly realistic - lookiing forward to the next episode.
Really nice scene looking across the field watching the trains run by. Fantastic layout
Watching a master craftsman at work, beautifully rendered scenery Richard, very creative!
OUTSTANDING. I absolutely love watching your videos Richard. Very talented. You have an amazing eye for detail too. I look forward to the next step on the layout too. I wonder how many of us have stood on similar bridges, up and down the country in the day, watching the trains go by? Massive thanks for sharing.
Superb work! It may have taken a lot of time, but it was certainly time well spent. Quality work can’t be rushed.
I can't wait for the next video, think I'm now hooked,,,
As you have the farm track, maybe you could put a few horse's in the empty field !!!
Fantastic how your new layout is coming together. Your YT channel and level of detailing is such an inspiration, specially also how to conceal certain bits. But your overall intricate engaging does result in such quintessential modelling of the railways.
