Saw this years ago and it inspired me to think repainting needn't be that hard. Got a compressor, airbrush, also a desktop spray booth... just getting my act together to start spraying paint around!

in my utopian alternate timeline, none of the 1Co-Co1 classes were built. instead of the Standard steam locos and the Modernisation Plan, the BTC order two hundred production versions of the Ivatt diesels (LMS 10000/10001) as a interim universal loco, running singly or in pairs while building up operating experience. by the 70s, secondary expresses are hauled by pairs of Ivatt diesels nearing their end of life. I still want to make a model of a rail blue worn-out production Ivatt diesel...

I have the same spray booth. Used it for the first time today, to prime some models with Halfords grey primer from a rattlecan, and it is immediately filthy with overspray

Videos on how you do the loft, planning it etc would be very interesting, stuff to think about if anyone else is doing similar what you have done is inspirational, I wish you all the luck with the next iteration

What strength isopropyl alcohol do you use to clean your wagons with?

I have used a similar way but I use just three wires to the motor as I'm just starting out and won't to get it all going so I have the + and - going to the point motor and then the frog wire and it seems to work I need to switch it by hand but it's working and it allows me to upgrade it in my own time

Great loco class 59 and super layout

what do i use toweather the yellow cab roof please on the hst

Binge watching your old build videos at present, for inspiration and education, amazing work!

Marvellous work.

Awesome, not an enthusiast but enjoyed your layout. Great skills and commentary, I could easy sit on your lift and get lost in time👌

Starting out again on the hobby after 50 years and catching up with all your old videos as I'm learning so much. In awe at your skills with scenery and especially with weathering! It's making me realise what a long time it's going to take me to learn how to do the sort of weathering in this video , in fact I probably never will - you make it look easy!

As you like Network South East Richard, it was launched on the 10th of June 1986 and the western region painted two class 50's in the new network colours. The two being 50023 Howe and 50017 Royal Oak. A third 50 soon joined them being 50035 Ark Royal. Chris Green was the man responsible for implementing Network South East after he'd done something similar with Scotrail. One of his masters strokes was the liberal use of red paint to brighten up dowdy stations and Network South East extended to Exeter. Even a class 86 was painted in Network South East livery being 86401 but spent all of it's time in the north west. The western region also painted a rake of seven Mark 1 coaches for the launch. Now how the hell would an Aussie living on the other side of the world know all that without even looking at the internet. Simple because in the days before the internet there was a company called Railscene Ltd (now long defunct) and those VHS tapes were available down under but only until 1991. The very first tape in 1984 showed the new DMU's the Sprinters of classes 150. In Railscene tape No.6 they showed the delivery of Foster Yeoman's class 59's off loaded from the ship in fowl weather at Newport Docks. In Railscene tape No. 25 they showed the first class 59's bought by ARC and wondered if it was the end for British locomotive builders as the first loco was in ARC service eighteen days after being unloaded on the dock. This was a marked contrast to the protracted drawn out delivery of the Brush class 60's which took months to get into service with seemingly never ending teething troubles. A Foster Yeoman class 59 attended a diesel gala on the SVR with Foster Yeoman telling the SVR their engine could haul 105 Mark 1 coaches with ease. The video tapes were in a magazine format with various topics covered from mainline steam to preserved steam and diesel to up to date BR traction to spotlighting various aspects and areas of BR and private industry. In those days preserved steam was allowed on the mainline but preserved diesels were banned. They could run on the mainline but only at idle with a BR diesel hauling them. Deltics attended BR open days but never under their own power. Those were the days when 9F Evening Star ran mainline tours and there didn't seem to be any problem. At one stage her boiler ticket had expired but was extended and then extended again to run more tours on the mainline. So why now are 9F's banned from the mainline when in the 80's and 90's there were no problems. Odd to think now that the 9F's were built to last into the 1980's and 90's probably by then as oil burners.

A very enjoyable video, great work!

Hello haws the move and new house coming on any plans for a update video

Congratulations from this lurker; having your own place, especially one with such potential, is wonderful. I moved house just before Christmas. But my new place isn't a fixer-upper, and I'm retired which you are not, so here's something you won't want to hear: I've not stopped with the job list, both small and large jobs, since we moved in! Best wishes with the project, and we'll all wait with interest for your next video.

Very helpful…what Matt varnish do you use - when you feel that helps protect? I’m a relative beginner but starting to weather my On30 Narrow Gauge locos using Vallejo acrylics and Tamiya Matt paints so I need a varnish that will not cause any issues. TIA

Good luck and enjoy, you will be in your element with the house and it’s a great feeling owning your own.

Well done Richard, look forward to seeing your new layout in the future.

Hi Richard. Congratulations on the new house and good luck with the renovation and the building of the new layout. Will the new layout have a new name? I appreciate that the channel and the existing layout have the same name, but at least one other YTer has renamed his channel. Sorry to hear about the job, but it seems to be resolving itself at least for the moment.

Manual turnouts and points? Something I’ll probably do.

What type of grey ballast are you using thx?

Your attention to detail is fantastic & makes interest for a wide range of people. Great with the rubbish bag in the bins, sunken drain covers, advertising hordings & other infra structure. Great inspiration for my next 1970's early 80's London viaduct loosely based on Tooley st /London bridge.

Did you spray the link fence? Silver?

Do you know if C-Rails 30 foot containers will fit on the Bachmann FFA and FGA container wagons and if so which ones would I need to represent the 1960s/70s?, many thanks.

Well done getting your own place. Another blank canvas for you. Here's a thought for the future. WiFi cameras are so small nowadays, as you build your layout install cameras around the layout and in buildings etc. So in the future you could use these static cameras as well as you moving ones too. Just a thought, looking forward to seeing the new layout being built.

So you started off this video saying you don't have point motors in that particular point you focused on. But you can run a train across the point without a point motor? Only with insulated rail joiners?... Don't you need at least a polarity switch of some sort? Also where does the first 0v go to? And you also need 12v power as well as your DCC power??

Hi Richard Good luck with the house renovations and we all look forward to some layout building to come. In the meantime if you have any downtime, I for one would welcome a video on how you go about designing a building on Cricut Design Space software ready for cutting out on the Cricut machine. Your video on building a circuit board to operate your signals was excellent. It got me into model rail electronics.

Thinking, most likely no vids for a year... oh well

Although this is 4 years later I still believe the sound on a Hatton’s class 66 is superior to any other class 66 on the market in my opinion, especially the bass on the EM2 speaker on the sound fitted models.

Awesome car.

were do you get the electric boxes from and the stand?

Good luck Richard

Well done. Good luck to you. I'm knocking on and disabled and you've kept me entertained now and hopefully in the future. You and your channel are considered one of the best on RUclips.cheers mate

Good going Mr Richard your the greatest modeler.love the new house.keep doing good.

Good luck.

Fantastic!! You should be very proud of all that hard work. "Thanks for sharing it with us" 👍

Hello. I'd like to commend you on your superb layout. I've taken away tips from your methods of ballasting and weathering Your layout is one of the best privately housed layouts. Well done!

Hello, I have a random question, I want to get something for scenery for my manta force toys, so it looks like they are on a lunar surface, do you know anywhere I could get something like this? Many thanks 👍🏻

Very impressive job, incredible as a first timer!!! Bought back alot of memories of the time my dad had a series of these as company cars. First was a Consul 2.5 estate, GL spec in an orangy bronze metallic. Seemed huge at the time, big enough to squeeze my Yamaha DT125 trail bike in on it's side to take it to the dealer when it wouldn't start one Saturday morning!!! Next was a funky metallic purple Granada 2.5 GL, used to take me hours to clean because of all the chrome!! Next and last was a Mk3 (?) Granada 2.8 GL in Jupiter Red metallic. That was an auto, I think the previous 2 were manual but I can't be sure. Generously my dad let me use all three, so I put some reasonable miles on all of them. My favourite was the purple Granada, that dropped some knickers in it's time!! The Consul was just huge, there was nothing like it at the time, some even thought it was American! My mum and dad towed their caravan to Italy several times in it and it just soaked it up without any complaint. Well done on your restoration, it is really impressive.

If you wade in with the roof repairs/alterations/chimney removal with that scaffolding, I hope you show that

Congrats on getting yourself a loft of your own, and sorry life threw a change jobs within the mix as well. Hopefully the renovations and plans for the future will eliminate the stresses of the past to which we'll see the Junction rise once more. Wishing you well

Know this is an old video but how did you make the vegetables?

Congratulations, been a fan for several years. Top man!

Richard .. I am an old, long term subscriber and have forever enjoyed your channel. I'm kind of out of line to suggest some music for your 'trains running' sequences.... it is oe of my very favorites ... you might wish to try it.... The very best wishes continue to be sent your way, sir .... ruclips.net/video/-M4rqH-Ok74/видео.html

It's interesting how things like signal boxes have faded into obscurity while other things like "Tory scum" graffiti remain just as relevant today. This is one of the finest layouts I have ever seen.

A great how to video 11 years ago and a few things have change technology wise with the wheels and circuits and LED's but it is still the basics. I've looked through your comments and no one has noticed that your diagram for the bridge rectifier is wrong.. I am very surprised that no one has noticed this....I was taught electronics when I was in school back in the 80's and this seemed wrong in my head and after I checked some of my technical books to find I was correct..... You have 2 of the diodes facing the wrong way.. the top right one and the bottom left one should be facing the other way. The point of the arrow shows the flow of the current and in your picture the top AC current input cannot pass as it is facing the stop part of the diodes and the bottom AC input can flow to both the positive and negative at the same time which is wrong.

Might be an idea to trim the ends of the tie bar to remove the 'nodules' on the ends for better realism.

Where is your accent from ? Sounds oxfordshire

Such a beautiful looking engine
