New Layout Build - Station Street

- Well after quite a bit of work I've managed to get the next section of scenery going for the station side of the layout. There is of course plenty of small details left to add here but overall I'm very happy with the progress so far. I'll be taking a break from this section for a while and continue to focus on the station itself. Cheers

This isn't just a model railway its a 3D landscape portrait of urban England in the late 1980s in all its true and wonderful shabbiness. This is a work of art Richard! Respect!
So true. It’s familiar to various places, so much so that even friends think it’s just around from Vauxhall. So much respect for your skill, time and patience.
@@paulsngaugechannel I find his work absolutely amazing. It's an underappreciated artform.
This is one of the most well detailed and realistic layouts i've ever seen.
I agree! I’m not a modeller, but full marks to Mr Everade, top bombing!🤘
It’s a masterpiece. Just hire Everard junction for the set for a film and do the rest in a studio. Save a fortune, nobody would notice as the detail is perfect. It’s a guide to anyone seeking perfection.
Looks like scale 1:1
You say this, but then Richard will decide he can improve on it and we’ll all be amazed at how he’s managed again to show us just how good he can be…he’s so great to watch!
Lovely work. So good to be watching your videos again.
When you start getting impatient for your next hit of Everard Junction, then it drops and it’s ANOTHER masterpiece! You sir are a modelling genius. Bravo. Nothing looks contrived or odd. It could be a real place, it’s just full of character!
So tru!
Looks so alive with the cars and the multiple trains running at different speeds.. Never seen anything so good. Love the Ford Capri disappearing under the bridge at the end of the intro section. Canal water is so murky - but maybe you could of had the bicycle and shopping trolley in a position where they jutted out of the top of the water and were partly visible as is the case sometimes at canals. There was a row of shops like this under the old Snow Hill station in Birmingham, now mostly gone.
Fantastic work. 👍
Thoroughly enjoyed the entire video . I was only disappointed when it ended. 🙂
Excellent video and great project progress! 👍 Looks awesome!
Few randomly flickering street lights will be cool edition to the layout!
I always enjoy watching , you are a craftsman and amazing realism Regards Greg
Looks great, you must've had fun coming up with the shop names!
I recently looked back and realised that I, as well as many others too I'm sure, have been watching your videos for about five years now and if one word could describe your work from beginning to end it is... Superb!...Thank you.
Superb Richard with some nice subtle touches too. The ‘how to’ approach will be well received as well. Well done.
Excellent work as always, I like to think that is Terry from Minder driving the silver capri on an errand for Arthur.
A memory of London in the eighties for me was band concert posters, particularly on walls under bridges. The Clash, the Specials, UB40, Pretenders, XTC. They were everywhere, fresh and half torn. Excellent work as always, and very entertaining viewing.
Very good point. Posters over posters to the extent that when the they finally come loose it was like a sheet of cardboard sometimes.
Looks good Richard. Well done. Very lifelike, as always.
Excellent video highlighting how it really looked in the eighties, it has triggered a memory, about my local council, two or three flags were removed to do a gas pipe repair and the flags would be replaced with tarmac. Another thing that moved councils in the North of England from hewn stone flags to tarmac was they became lethal in winter and you were often helping someone up after a nasty fall. On some flags a green slime developed that was as bad as ice, especially around the base of leaking fall pipes were moss then grass would accumulate. I was often amazed at how these 4 x 2 ft behemoths were hewn from local stone quarries and were almost flat on the surface, when lifted it was usually by a crew of two as they were two inch thick!
Very realistic as usual, I like the Herbert do a bit of graffiti, very nice touch 👍
I absolutely love the sodium street lighting, almost gone over the last few years. My mum remembers it coming in around Croydon in 1938 and how it transformed the look of the streets. Remembering my regular journeys to London past Brixton in the 1970s and 80s I would just add the ubiquitous purple flowering Buddleia sprouting from the brickwork and pigeons on the bridge edges. Keep up the great work
It's always a pleasure, please take as much time as you need
Awesome video Richard. The realism is second to none. You certainly have set the standard for others to follow.
I don't have space for a layout. But the nostalgia and appreciation I have for yours is overwhelming. Great project.
I love the reality of the grime and dirt on this layout, and the overall lonelyness and alienanting feeling it represents, especially at night with the yellow lamp posts.
Looks terrific, Richard. Really nice! Greetings from Ohio.
Brilliant job, it looks amazing.
Great work as always, perhaps take a look at Maidstone East station this has a footbridge next to the railway bridge across the river, would be an awesome way of connecting the shops to the station
I visited London in November for the first time and saw so much architecture that I was first introduced to from your videos.
That's a massive amount of work. Lovely trip hazard right by the door to Byte Computer Centre!
Best UK layout by far.
As a Street Lighting Manager I’m impressed 👍🏻
Just need a ‘No Waiting At Any Time’ sign on a post within 5 scaled metres of the end of the double yellow lines mounted 2.1 scaled metres high. On both sides of the street.
Thanks! Not bad for eyeballing it from google haha. I'll be adding some signage in future, cheers
More than happy to provide guidance on any highway elements as been in the industry nearly 40years starting during your modelling era. Just shout
Meticulous magnificent marvelness. You are happy with how it looks, we are absolutely staggered. I remember well the old council men laying pavements with their buckets of sand and enormous larger than life mallets for tapping down, all worn down on one side. There was one bridge i drove under on the trains where the grafitti artists had obviously hung over the bridge and painted their "Work" upside down, always made me laugh that one.
The night shots are fantastic, just like the real thing! You can almost feel the night air and smell the diesel fumes😲
Just awesome, always look forward to your layout updates.
I remember, back in the day, our greengrocer still had his balance scales and mechanical cash register out back, and would pull them out when there was a powercut. We'd being shopping in the dark, but he was the only store able to trade! Definitely looks good for the scene, probably needs a mailbox and a couple of phoneboxes, and a workcrew over a manhole with their little red/white striped tent 😁
Great update again Richard! Loving seeing our ModelSigns street lights again!
Just one word here from a regular observer of your many videos; stunning! Thanks again for a very enjoyable hour of watching. Eric
Lovely imitation of reality. Quite convincing. The way you see the dirt and trash is really intriguing. Impressive effort. Your work is very inspiring. Rob
I have no interest in as a hobby with train set and all, but when I stumbled upon this video , I thought , “ what going on in England then…” and this was without reading the title. I had to stop and watch the whole right through. This is simply epic. I left England for the USA over 42 years a go , and when I saw style cavalier, and the Sherpa van I was astounded. Seven if I didn’t come back to this sight, don’t worry , I will, I had to sub and like. The planning and the attention to detail mate is awesome! Nothing like the 70’s! I will be coming back to this channel periodically….as long as you are loving what you do, people will love and appreciate it, some of us just don’t have that time or the patience. God Bless!
The speed of the trains and also the engine sound is very realistic, I would love to go see one of these displays here in the USA one day, it’s well worth it.
Peter M said it all. I've been following you for the past 9 years and I apply your technics.
Thank you. Cheers.
Thanks for another well spent hour with morning cups of tea.... always inspiring and informative. Great work!
An absolutely stunning part of the scene Richard, superb work. It's a good job block paving wasn't popular back then...... you'd have pulled all ya hair out laying them individually.
always look forward to your videos, the canal is gorgeous 😊
Absolutely superb, you have captured that 1970's UK inner city feeling to a tee. That's the first Morris Marina I have seen that was not blowing smoke.
I've been following your build for years and it never fails to impress me. Growing up in the 80s in England I can really relate to what you're creating. The area where you're putting greenery across from the shops would lend itself perfectly to a market, it's the one thing that always screams 80s to me and would love to see you creating it.
Ditto on 80s nostalgia. Open air market is great idea. Who wasn’t dragged around a market by their mum as a kid…dodgy video stalls and the bloke selling revolutionary cleaning products!
Another one of your superb scenes that you could just walk into. I love the variety of the shops. I can just imagine getting off the train and walking down to the computer store to gaze in wonder at all the things in there, and then, not being able to afford anything, popping into the fabric shop to buy something that I can make into a new top to brighten up my dreary office clothes. Your videos are always something to look forward to.
I love the attention to detail with the discarded French letters on the canal towpath. Superb.
It is excellent to see this coming on so well.
I give you 100% for eye for detail. I think we can all learn to appreciate what we see with more clarity. Inspirational
A very ironic resting place for a washing machine.
Could really picture making an uneasy commute on foot through this unfamiliar neglected area, well captured!
Love it! awesome detail
Outstanding work! It's mesmerising.
Awesome layout. WOW .
Full watch. Unreal.
Absolutely beautiful work my friend, this just gets better and better everytime without fail including the sound affects, incredible work loving the whole deal, love watching as have been for over 3 yrs now, always looking forward to seeing more😊❤👊
Cheers🍺🍻 KC Cradle Mountain Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🤝🇬🇧🇬🇧😎👍
Great job sir! I agree that the bank could keep that bare feeling, it's a good contrast to the country side of the layout.
An imaginative and witty Network South East layout. The 'Byte Computer Centre' reminded me of those days! Still a lot of work to do. Thanks for uploading.
Wow coming on really well and your detailing is of a high standard. Take care Richard and all the best for the rest of the build. Kevin
What a fantastic layout, the work that you have put into it, can’t wait for you to rip it up and start a new one, maybe a garden railway if you a have one,
Your layout always amazes me as you get many of the details correct, most show layouts fall down on simple details on a 1980's or 1990's era layout by usually putting incorrect vehicles or machinery from the 2000's on the layout.
One of those shops needs the obligatory guide dogs for the blind money collection dogs outside it.
Superb attention to detail as always. It's such a pleasure to watch this and see how you make the magic happen ,thank you for sharing.
Absolutely brilliant. No other words needed. It just fires up my own modelling mojo…cheers Richard for another cracking video
S U P E R B !!!! I shouldnt act surprised, I should know better but even in the intro my eyes went as wide as dinner plates. Your patience knows no bounds, Super detailing. Richard with all the hard work, you just keep raising the bar every video. The hour just flew, I was disappointed it ended but Thank you for sharing regardless.
Cheers! I wish a could make the videos more regular but I like to make a good chunk or progress with each one. As opposed to diluting it down into small parts. Glad you enjoyed it 👍
@@EverardJunction Beggars cant be choosers. Its worth the wait everytime.
You just need some wheelie bins and a few pigeons, some litter blowing down the street, best model scenery I have seen. Congrats to you.
Just saying the same thing that has been said already. You're an artist and a genius, Richard, stunning work, thanks so much for creating these videos for us all to enjoy. Love the tunes by the way. 🤘
Very impressive. That road scene looks great and the cars all being parked makes great contrast between that and the moving magnorail ones. That in itself is very well thought out even if unintentional. It’s as real looking as possible. Fantastic
Just .......wow! I'm South London born and bred. You've captured areas around Stockwell, Herne Hill, Brixton, Battersea and Clapham just perfectly. Love your videos mate, and l'm not a modeller. Always wanted to be but stuff got in the way. I get my Railway modelling kicks ftom people like you. Just brilliant.
Well done. As always it is fascinating to watch you achive such wonderful results.
The time, effort, level and attention to detail used, never mind all the videoing and editing, is absolutely spectacular.
You sir, are an an inspiration to everyone, and a credit to the hobby, well done 👏👏👏👏
Superb dashing job again with such an intricate keen eye to the tiniest of elements to be seen in the real. This new layout is coming to life spectacularly impressive in a cerebral manner. Fabulous!
Loving this layout, absolutely fantastic.
I worked at Stewart’s Lane depot with the local fault team for a couple of years round about 2010 and know that street well.
Excellent work sir.
This model is so detailed that I had to check that the clouds were not really moving at 1:38
I would say that your road repairs for potholes are better than our councils.
I was anxiously waiting for the next video, but when it dropped you knocked it out of the park!.
Your research & attention to detail paid off again, simply the best!!
One of the best layouts for this era your attention to detail is superb well done Richard 👍👍
Fantastic as always, I love seeing you put the little details into the layout, and as someone who grew up in this era it brings back alot of memory's
Wow Top Man . The Layout is so realistic. The detailing is amazing every little detail added. It's a joy to see and watch you working on the Layout. A lot of work well thought through each area at a time. Forward thinking about the next stages so like a jigsaw the Picture comes alive . I try to do scenery but I'm not in your league for sure . Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and wonderful Model Railway layout with all of us. Best wishes Richard Crompton. Scarborough.North Yorkshire.
Excellent stuff as usual Richard. You are my go to guru mate and also responsible for me re-entering the hobby again. All the very best Graham 👌 👍 🙂
Cheers Graham! My goal has always been to encourage people to give the hobby a go or get back into it. Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Just had a thought, I've not seen any motorbikes on your layout. Maybe a scene of a guy on a bike in leathers talking to someone outside a chip shop
Brilliant! Just need a bottle of Holsten Pils and some Smiths Cheese Moments to watch this video for the full 80's throwback experience! 🙂
Once again fantastic modelling to an already great looking layout. Excellent and enjoyable video production too.
Fantastic work! Your eye for detail never ceases to amaze me.
Mate I’ve been watching you from when you first started and the transformation you’ve done over the years on the layout is awesome so well detailed definitely one of the best I’ve seen
Hi Richard, I had an Idea for your passenger trains when they arrive at the mainline station they slow down automatically to a stop, wait for 20- 30 seconds before starting back off again. Just another level of automation, to give you that realism effect that you're after. I know that electronic automated system exists and its an actuated switch that's loco specific. You can run it on all your passenger trains without effecting your freight trains. You could even have it where your trains go to park in the fiddle yard and another train starts up automatically. I like those shops you put in under the viaducts, I've seen something like that real to life over here in America. Cheers! 😁
You have such an eye for details, this is exactly how I remember London when I was there, (quite a few years ago).
Masterful Richard,
When watching I can imagine such great ideas for one or more areas on my layout. This time I love the full wall billboard. That's something I can do!
An idea for you. Trash items in the murky canal. Because you placed the debris along the base then covered it with two layers of water effects is the key error. To allow your scatter be seen first pour your clear base coat and harden over.
Once ready for your second coat, set your debris with an ultra thin coat of adhesive atop the first coat. The debris MUST be visually vertically upright. Let dry.
Now add multiple thin layers of tinted water effects. Let the debris cut the surface. Then with the final Hodge Podge layer you can demonstrate water breaches of water flow by trash.
O.K. that's next time! Can this canal flow be saved with urban trash. YES!
Go back to both canals. Have prepared trash ready, weathered, and able. Things like lawn racks, shopping trolleys (a.k.a. carts), tires, pinball machines, ATM machine, (I don't know if Brits play basketball or not) a hoop basket still attached to the backboard & post, and/or one of your busted street lights (with utility pole). With a micro drill or sharp hobby knife, cut a shallow hole into the water effects. Insert the new debris into the canal using Hodge Podge as adhesive and a wake maker around the obstruction.
In any event, your GrandDad is righteously proud of this entire layout effort you have succeed building.

I can see the intro of this video infinite times. A true master of layout modeling
I love making the intros. My favourite bit of the editing process!
What is the catchy music you’ve used on this intro? It fits brilliantly
So delighted with your precision enjoyment and creativity. Well done. A pleasure to watch and appreciate your energy in putting all this work for others to enjoy.
The units look amazing. I am full of admiration for the accuracy and authenticity of your layout. It is stunning and unique.
I’ll be honest…I place you on the level of Master model railroader. The absolute most realistic, can’t tell if it’s a photo in real life or not, layouts I’ve ever seen have been from Pelle Søeborg, a contributor to Model Railroader magazine. His work is amazing.
YOU are on par with his work. Bravo! Can’t wait for the next one!
Richard Sir, Simply the "BEST".
Wow, looks very realistic! Hat tip to you sir! You're truly an artist and inspiration to the rest of us. And these snapshots in time makes us all appreciate the old brick layers master class designs compared to modern plain dull utilitarian brickwork.
Richard, I am almost lost for words, that was stunning, As you go along working on your layout you seem to get better and better. A huge congratulations on the work you have done on Station Street. I think I might have a few sleepless nights waiting for the next video. Cheers Greg
I love seeing all the cars from the 1980s period, brilliant!
Fantastic as always! Lots of inspiration here!
Richard all i can say it i really enjoy watching and Learning things for my own layout St Michael’s Junction.❤
Wow! That is some incredible work there!!!
Excellent video, myself and my wife thoroughly enjoyed watching. It’s very informative. Thank you👍
Fantastic update - It looks so life like...
Absolutely mind blowing attention to detail. Take a bow! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hi Richard
You really do capture urban London to a tee. The views along the street are fantastic and it really sets the railway within the inner London landscape. Brilliant.
The colour of the canal water is spot-on. I think they call this shade British Urban Gloom 😀
Another absolutely superb video; this really is required watching! I have been so busy that it's taken me several days to watch it all, but I've watched every second and am gaining so much inspiration and enthusiasm for my own layout. The level of detail you put in is wonderful. Thanks as always for getting this video together and bringing us all along on the journey :)
I could sit and watch this all day. So realistic.
There's detailed. And then there's this layout! Thank you for sharing the inspiration and passion.
This is simply mind blowing detail. Such realism and executed with expert skills. I live watching your videos and today's scene looked ridiculously realistic. I've learned loads and the running sesh at the end was the icing on the cake. That large logo 47 looked the business I must sat. Thanks soooo much really appreciate all your time and effort
Im not by heart a model train enthusiast, but i love what you do and enjoy watching these videos, your are truly amazing at what you do and you attentention to detail is also amazing
Thanks very much. I get a kick out of appealing to non train enthusiasts. Tells me I'm keeping things enjoyable, its easy to get too serious/nerdy making these videos. Glad you enjoyed it, cheers.
It's been great watching this all come to life, a fascinating joy.
