________________________
With the Yard Module now complete it’s time to turn my attention to the Station Module! This is the focal point of the entire layout so it needs to look good but luckily some of the key elements are in place already. In this episode of Building A Modular Model Railway I’m balancing greenery and functionality - the station needs a car park for visitors to the railway but I don’t want the whole thing to be paved over. Meanwhile, the platforms may be in place but there’s something pretty major to be installed that will make a big difference to the feel of the station!

As for the bit between the stone wall and fence, how about adding some fencing/bollards and a pile of stones to represent the wall being rebuilt which ties in with the odd temp fencing placed while the wall is rebuilt by railway volunteers!

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Жыл бұрын

While it's a nice idea, realistically it's probably not worth it since that section is right behind the main station building. I wanted to make sure there was something there in case anyone gets a weird side view of the station - but for a detailed scene like that I'd rather put the time and effort into a more noticeable area. Thanks for watching 😃

Wow, the station module is looking brilliant. The car park looks great right next to the station building and the joint between baseboards is seamless, really impressed with what you done on the station module 😀

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Жыл бұрын

Thanks Adam! More luck than talent I imagine but I'm really pleased with how it's looking too. This was one of the few videos where I went in without a plan of how it was meant to look. I knew I wanted the car park in there somewhere but get it all to fit was another matter! Thanks for watching 😃

Great video! Definitely shows the level of detail you can get whilst modelling a heritage railway, which have been lacking in the model railway scene for some years. Not to mention has definitely inspired some bits for my own layout. Can’t wait to see a “steam gala” on the Modular Layout!

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Жыл бұрын

Yes I often feel that "heritage railway" is just an excuse to run anything you want rather than a serious attempt to actually model a preserved line. There's nothing wrong with that of course but I love the subtle mix of old and new you get at heritage railways which isn't really thing anywhere else. Glad to hear it's given you some ideas for you own layout too! Thanks for watching 😃

Another absolutely fantastic video 🙌🏻 A couple of questions … so you painted the footbridge yourself? What colours / paints did you use? And the station buildings you have … what are these? Did you buy them / paint them also to match the footbridge? You are the best 🏆

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Жыл бұрын

Really glad you enjoyed it! So the bridge was given an overall coat of cheap cream acrylic, then the edges/details were picked out in Humbrol enamel maroon. The main station building is a Hornby Skaledale item which I got ages ago when I thought making the station building (kit or scratchbuilt) would be beyond my capabilities... how things have changed! Thanks for watching 🤩

@tonypetts6663 Жыл бұрын

Looking great. Just a quick suggestion for the car park. As its a preservation line the elves of safety would have to be satisfied that everywhere is safe for the hapless public. The pavement has a couple of pretty high drops on its way up the the station building so maybe a couple of the temporary fencing panels used in the shed area could be installed, with a little warning panel? Make a nice little modern talking point. 😀

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Жыл бұрын

Thanks Tony! If it was at the front of the layout then I would have definitely spent more time on getting this section right. As it is though, the car park/pavement is right at the back of the module, sitting behind the platform and hidden behind a fence so it's not really much of an issue. Once I get a few cars in there more permanently it'll be even more invisible from the normal viewing angle. Thanks for watching 😃

Nice video mate. Loving this series! the back half of the station has come up looking fantastic. Looking forward to seeing what you do to the front half for the station. - Nicholas.

Thanks Nicholas, yes the back section looks great and I'm really pleased with how it flows into the yard module too. I've actually already filmed the next video where I do the front half (it's available for Members at the moment) and it's so good to finally have scenic all over the entire module!

@AJB2K3 Жыл бұрын

A recommendation to the platform edge you just did, Add some bollards around it and paint it a darker shade to represent freshly relaid tarmac following a wall repair cased by a minor car or truck accident(or a bit of weather damage!)

@ThatModelRailwayGuy Жыл бұрын

It's actually fine since I used the same paint, so it matches the existing surface pretty well. With the fencing on there too its not noticeable at all. Thanks for watching 😃

Just started watching, this looks really good. Point of note regarding Derails, they do not seem interested in overseas modellers so I've not had the pleasure of doing business with them. (TMC, Kernow and of course Rails DO ship overseas.)

@ThatModelRailwayGuy 5 ай бұрын

Just to clear something up - it's not that Derails aren't interested, they just don't have the ability to ship overseas at this time. Compared to TMC, Kernow and Rails they're a much smaller model shop. Thanks for watching 😃

Great work so far with the scenery on this board! It’s coming along very nice, can’t wait for the next episode! Also, with you naming the station in the next episode and finishing the scenics, is the next episode going to be the series finale? Also, with the midland style fencing and footbridge, as well as the LMS signals and maroon lamps, the layout would look really nice with some LMS locos running in it!

Thanks! It's definitely not the end of the series as there's still a lot to do on the layout to get it ready - including building some new modules!

However, the quality has really gone downhill lately and the last batch I ordered was mostly unusable😞 I'm exploring other options though so if you're not desperate for it I'd hang on until I can find an alternative that I can recommend - it's just not worth wasting your money at the moment in my opinion.
