With the exhibition just weeks away now, I've decided to extend the layout to give the trains a longer run and open up more operating space on the inside of the layout. So today I'm building the first of two brand new short modules that will go between the curves at either end.
This allowed me to have a go at adding some new features to the layout and on this one I've decided to build a rock face! Watch along as I build up this new module from laying the track to the finishing touches, including showing you how I paint up my rocks before installing them on the model railway!

Without wanting to blow my own trumpet, I do work really hard on presenting the videos to a really high standard. On average there are about 5 hrs of footage for every episode you see that gets edited down to keep things moving along quickly without skipping over any key steps. Ultimately keeping people interested and engaged is the whole point while presenting it in a way that makes you think you could give it a go yourself too. Those are my thoughts anyway... I'm just happy people enjoy the videos! Thanks for watching 😃

I think something that might add interest to a rock face like this is vegetation above and roots hanging down between the cracks at the top as erosion has worked it's way into the soil above. Possibly small loose rocks at the base?

Glad you found it useful! Yeah I did the fences on the original curved modules that way but I found it much more tricky and the wire tended to get kinked as it was moved into position.

I've thought about having a go at making rock faces, just as a diorama, because my layout doesn't have enough room to accommodate them thanks to me opting for an unrealistic canal set up. I would like to do sandstone rock faces because where I live in the Midlands, lots of rural areas around me have sandstone cliff faces.

Sounds like a fun idea... if you're limited on space you could always use the rockface as a backdrop instead - you don't necessarily have to have visible land behind them like I have here. Thanks for watching 😃

Nicely done mate! A great little bit of work! 😎 Really shows off the benefits of doing easily manageable, defined chunks of progress on a layout, and demonstrates the results you can achieve using simple rules and technique. 🤔 And what’s this for next time? Could this be why you said I should ‘watch this space’ a few weeks ago when I suggested a siding with non-working stock on it? 🤣😂😅 Hamlet might have said: Is this a siding which I see before me, The headshunt toward my yard? Come, let me fill thee. I run them not, and yet I see them still. Art thou not, scenic vision, storage To feeling as to sight? or art thou but A siding of the mind, a false creation, Proceeding from the station so that I can store more stuff on the layout rather than have to box it away all the time?” 🤪 What do you mean, “Did you have too much time on your hands or something?” 😜 Interesting technique my dad used back in the day was to use an old paint tray, fill it with sand, screw up a sheet of foil and then sort of push it in to create a kind of mould. He would then pour some mixture into the mould and, when dried and cleaned, delivered rocks that to my (seven years old) mind looked awesome! 😍 I mention this cos it meant he could essentially create what I would describe as disjointed landscapes by creating separate moulds of rocks that sort of sort of half-tessellated in a way that that made it look like the outcrops we saw out walking where we lived at the time in West Yorkshire! 💜 Great fun as ever, have a great weekend mate 👍🍻🍀😎

Glad you enjoyed it, yes the Siding episode is actually available for channel Members to watch now. Creating rock faces from tin foil is definitely a great way to do it if you're on a budget - you can skip the sand by just using an old towel to support the foil like you would do with the silicone moulds.

Great stuff and very inspirational. Is there any way to disguise the lines made between modules, maybe a fence right along the edge with long grass around it (because the grass at the fence tends to grow a bit longer) and some overlapping vegetation? There is the risk, of course, that it will get damaged when separated but a little glue to reattach isn't so bad.

Another fantastic video - really well done! If you don’t mind I have a couple of questions - how long did this take in total, at what point did you clean down the rails after airbrushing and finally (I’m sorry just curious) what wire do you use as a bus ?
@ThatModelRailwayGuy
@ThatModelRailwayGuy 7 ай бұрын
Glad you enjoyed it! So this entire module probably took around 6 days to complete (including baseboard construction). Because of the exhibition and the amount of other modules that needed to be done I knew I had to work quickly - basically a module a week. After airbrushing the rails I try to clean the tops while the paint is still wet. That will remove the the majority of the paint and then you can just run a track rubber over it afterwards to really clean them down. I also run the track rubber over them again after putting the glue on the ballast just to remove any excess PVA that might have dried on the rails too. As for wire, I believe I'm using 18AWG wire - although that's overkill. I use this because I also have a Hornby Live Steam loco that runs on a much higher voltage. Hope that helps and thanks for watching 🤩

Hi, new follower here who has been binging your channel and this series. It just occurred to me that it could be possible to use the brass screws to provide the power at each end and your metal alignment dowels to transfer the bus between boards… which could mean these sections would fit either way around with no red/black wiring confusion… no idea if this could work though?!

Hi Jonathan, as you've already noted the brass screws are embedded into the frame to provide a solid anchor for the rails. It's one of those things where, technically it would be possible to do what you suggest but it makes things a lot more complicated - not only for the initial installation but also if there's ever an electrical problem in the future too. I wouldn't fancy having to dismantle the frame of the board if there was ever a loose connection. Really glad to hear you've been enjoying the channel and this series in particular. Hopefully the next series featuring a brand new layout will be along in the not too distant future. Thanks for watching 😃

Assuming we're talking about the KZfaq ads here, you'd shouldn't be seeing an overwhelming amount of them. There are multiple breaks during the video but KZfaq doesn't usually show an ad at every one for a single viewer. They've been playing around with their algorithm lately so it's possible something has gone wrong/or is being tested - I'll have a look on the back end too but this particular video doesn't have significantly more or less ad breaks than my usual videos of similar length.
