- In this update I take a look at a few things I've been working on in the background over the past few weeks. Also get some water in the canal, add graffiti and check some new ready to place plants for the gardens.

I think it would be a riot if one of the gardens had a miniature garden railway in it.
ugh, imagine aha!
Particularly if it could be made to work!
My grandad had a great big set in the loft he spent all of his adult life on but he got parkinsons and eventually couldn’t climb up anymore. About 5 years ago he tried to make dinner and accidentally caused a fire. He was ok as a neighbour dragged him out before there was too much smoke but the set and the house ended up burning down. My grandad is no longer with us but watching you develop your layout reminds me of him.
Thank you.
Looking good. A pair of lock gates would really have finished off the near end of the canal though ...
True story: You easily fooled my 17yr old as he walked in my den while I was watching and he was puzzled as to why I was watching trains drive around. When I explained it was a model he was amazed! Great work!!!
One of those gardens is missing a old Triumph Dolomite rotting away with the wheels and doors missing. Anyway excellent work.
Why a dolly sprint, why not a Austin princess or rover sd1?
No. You want an old Ford Capri. It'll rust up a treat.
Outstanding, great work sir. Having had some experience of those industrial wheelie bins at least one of them will have been set on fire at some stage!
Having said that, this is one of the best layouts, and I keep coming back for your updates, thanks
Gee those gardens came up a treat, what a difference a bit of colour can make. Thanks for sharing.
The narrow boat and the canal are a wonderful touch. Well done.
Boat is crying out for some barge fenders! Couple of little boxes on the roof with some herbs / flowers and maybe a couple of bits of canal art - watering can with a flower on it. Cheesy but authentic!!!
"Clag" made me chuckle. Nice effort.
My left ear really enjoyed this video. My right ear was jealous.
Astleyfam, I know how you feel!
The grafitti is great - when I had a model railway, in the early 1970's, I inherited some buildings and rolling stock from an uncle who had a large layout in the late 1950's, early 1960's. Some of the buildings had 'Ban the bomb', and the CND logo painted on them. There was also a skull and crossbones painted on a PW hut. I always liked that. Made me think that possibly, kids had been using it as a 'den'.
Excellent layout. A very enjoyable, absorbing and relaxing video.
Adding superelevation to the curves was SO worth it. Great progress. Made my good Monday even better. Thank you.
Grab some food and a drink and sit back and watch your incredible channel, layout is starting to look in good shape 😁👍
Hi Richard very realistic scene, they feel like real places, and in the eighties especially with the opening music, top model rail modelling cheers darryl
That canalboat made me smile, as a watcher of "Cruising the Cut" and hearing you talk of it did make me smile as you got a lot of things correct!
Nicely done!
Excellent work Richard! The canal, gardens and graffiti are brilliant. You bring the '80s alive in the South East! Are you sure you weren't a real life artist in your teens, very convincing, lol!! :-)
As usual I'm in awe of the detail in this layout, fantastic work. That signal gantry makes a big difference.
Maybe add a chain around those wheelie bins since they'd definitely end up in the canal, and a road sign or bollards to prevent vehicles driving into the water?
Looking good. The attention to detail really makes the scene
Just another Brilliant video from the King of model railways,Jim.
The plants certainly have added colour to the gardens. I like the canal boat too and a padding pool. (A sore point in this house at the moment.) Martin (Thailand)
That running session - wow! Really does make the whole place come alive. Top work
I always enjoy watching your videos, the level of detail and realism is absolutely stunning. Great work!
Stunning and makes me badly want to take this up as a hobby after not being able to afford it as kid in the late 70s when my mates got me into bunking off school to go ....... trainspotting!
Very nice job on the canal and canal boat. Really enjoy your videos and watching the progress and detail on your layout. Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together and sharing them.
I certainly got a chuckle from the graffiti, I never knew there were so much railway/graffiti enthusiasts
yup these idiots risk their lives daily, most ive ever seen was in birmingham
Fantastic work 👌🏻 my late grandad had a narrow boat and I have many fond memories of it! He taught me to fish off off the front and rear with my little fold up rod! That would make a cool diorama! The boat was called Suky. Brilliant 👍🏻👍🏻
The layout is coming on nicely .Excellent
Superb work, your layout is getting better all the time. Always look forward to your offerings!
Looking great so far. Can't believe how far this new layout has progressed in such a short time. Keep up the great work
Wow, it's coming along nicely and quickly, nice work!
I really like the way your work is progressing. The detail is spot on perfect.
Excellent work as always, the scene certainly looks very realistic indeed. Enjoyed the running session and look forward to seeing you progress with the other scenic areas
Absolutely LOVED it,,
Can't wait to see the next update.
Keep up the good work.
🏆
Great video again Richard. Always look forward to seeing them, even though I find them totally out of sequence. The lock idea would be a great one to do, but then you may need a lock keepers cottage/house.
The layout is looking fantastic Richard, amazing how much work you’ve done in such a short space of time! That signal gantry really looks the part as well 🙂👍
Great update as always, scenes really come to life with the water in the canal look forward to seeing the next update cheers Beeton Hough Junction (Dave C)
Hi I really am enjoying watching your videos and seeing the progression on your new layout. I find your hints and information on how to do thing very useful and it always looks so realistic we'll done keep up with the fantastic work
Superb detailing, and maybe the addition of planters or maybe some logs on the roof of the narrowboat as used for firewood would just finish it. It all gives me ideas for my layout.
Amazing ! I’m hooked, can’t get enough of your enthusiasm and attention to detail :))
This scenery is absolutely next level.
The water & canal boat are so realistic my brain stopped for a second when it went *clunk* as you put it down!
So glad scenery is months off on my N gauge layout, taking a lot of inspiration and ideas from this layout, it certainly takes modelling to the next level, brilliant work!!!
Great job again Richard 👍
Looking forward to the next video
Thanks Richard allllllll coming along fantastically mate!
The canal boat is a nice touch
I like the canal boat!..you should add a pile of logs to the top of it if it has a stove. Also some old tyres on the sides and front as you often see them on older barges as buffers. Maybe a bicycle on top as well as you always seem to see one on board a real one too
The master at work. Great stuff. The canal looks excellent.
Another great update, thanks Richard
I do love the instant professional look you achieve always a good view, thanks
si.
Great video that canal scene is looking great you have done some amazing work there
Unbelievably good and inspiring, thank you for sharing.
Think you've proven you made the right decision starting the new layout. Absolutley love it
Thank you richard, excellent as always.
Those budlia would be excellent on my layout, glad you were sent them, i'll be picking some up in the future.
I allways sense when there's a video coming, was only last week I was thinking must be time for another Everard Junction video lol. Quality as always, that canal/housing section would be complete for the majority of people, if you solely focused around that area many people would believe the rest is done too. I'll look forward to the next instalment, take it easy, and as always do things at the pace you want and how you want, we're only here for the ride!
Had to watch this with subtitles at work, during the running session, the subtitles picked up the running noises as applause!
Always so perfect ! A great and nice layout !
Really looking forward to the station stuff. Can't wait to see what you do there too. :)
Another great video used to have a paddling pool just like that one was always patching it up and yes mine too was always filling up with mud off the lawn
Love the graffiti and definitely going to get some of the plants from Hattons as they look amazingly realistic
Keep up the great content
Can’t wait to see the branch line development
your old layout was excellent, but this is even better! the track especially looks terrific
Love the added graffiti. The overhead signals are looking great to the main lines as well. The canal would have to be my favourite and while your previous canal looked really good, this one is much better. Great update and running session to boot. Great stuff and all the best Clint.
I took one look at it and I was speechless, it's coming on really quickly
It `s amazing the difference a few shrubs, flowers etc. makes to those backyards. Love what you have done with the canal and the long boat and I don`t mind the odd bit of graffiti. The running session was very enjoyable. Cheers Greg
Great work as always, very inspirational as always...cheers, Chris
Well done, you make it look so easy to achieve excellent results.
OMG this is amazing those gardens look absolutely brilliant and the canals looks so real,
You have done a wonderful job richard you are an amazing model maker, i have learned so much from you and richard from new junction who you know and is local to me just a great job mate all the best john from rugby
Excellent update Richard. Always nice to see the work of the Maestro. Unlike others on here, I found the sound just perfect. I use RHA MA 639 Stereo ear buds, the sound quality is just perfect. Keep up the excellent work Richard, well done. Cheers. John.
Looking great! Slow and fiddly work...but that's the part of the fun of building a model railroad!
Top work once again well documented thank you
Great looking layout for sure. You're very talented.
Greetings from Aus, Congratulations on your Layout enjoy the videos
Today my love of model railways intersected with my love of the canals. Great stuff.
You've been watching Rosie and Jim haven't you?
Great update as always 👍🏻
Great video. Awesome set up.
Excellant detailing, layout looks impressive, Fantastic
Lovely to see an update, but out working so will have to wait till tonight. Something to look forward to anyway
Very nice .....so natural ....very good thx for sharing
You are doing a very Well work. Congratulations
One of the gardens has to have either dumped rusty white goods, a piss stained mattress, or the accretion of household rubbish which is pushing one of the garden fence panels towards the canal, which in turn is spilling onto the grass verge... for that added taste of authenticity... great layout...
As usual, Outstanding job and update video!
I like graffiti on layouts. Mine has plenty. It is the reality of the world and fun to do. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
Looking good.. Cant wait to see the new 66 running on there... :-)
Awesome job Richard!!! specially the graffiti!!! Just love it! Cheers Onno.
Great video update and great work well done.
Hi Richard. Another fantastic update on your fabulous layout 😁 Well done for producing a really good video with your new camera 🎥 It’ll only get better in time as you get use to it!! Nice one 👍🏻Stevie.
Nice 1 Richard , what you referred to as mooring Bollards on top the narrowboat are in fact roof vents for ventilation! The centre line would be the only attachment on the roof for mooring. Usually just a welded loop/staple shape. Usually a T stud on the fore deck and two dolly’s on the stern. Good video though only 19 mins in so far cheers
I must thank you for getting a new camera. I also feel you deserve a donation because nothing you provide for my/our entertainment is free. The colour balance on the old one used to drive me nuts, but who am I to say anything lol. The picture quality is awesome and it shows off your work in much better vibrancy. Cheers
Although I no longer operate a model railway ( I have returned to my No 1 love of model buses ) I do really enjoy you work on the layout.
ah wow this is all very amazing especially love the graffiti and canal
Man!! Your layout looks amazing!!
Great job layout looking good
Canal water looks amazing
I love your work as usual very detailed and very inspiring ; greetings from France.
Great work, as always. I am a bit surprised you didn't do a sluice or lock gate on the canal, but clever work nonetheless. Seeing the trains run through capped it off wonderfully.
Nice update, think you should name the boat Ragdoll from Rosie and Jim 😂 with the added duck on the top
Amazing work, i cant wait for the next update!
Suggestion: Rotary Washing Line, in the garden or two
Thank you for sharing your vision.
Another fantastic update.
Great work again videos excellent always look forward to update need a name for the barge though Everadis lol
