Just a note re the fence; as its a galvanised fence, it wont rust, so just weather the brightness down with a wash, perhaps? Excellent little side project from a great concept! Looks like its been there fifty plus years! Nice work!

Great idea Graham of having a removeable sub station to get fantastic track level shots. Many thanks for sharing enjoyed this video, take care regards Barry..

Quite an incredible layout. Very inspiring. Great ASMR as well.

Hi. I really enjoyed this video. Very interesting and gives other modelers inspiration. Thanks.

Thats brilliant, looks like it was originally modeled like that, fits in so well, love your layout.

Looks so realistic. A pleasure to see. Like you said, the beauty of railway modelling is that it is never finished, always bits to do. An idea might be to have a bulkhead light above the steel personnel door, and/or a small light column just outside the compound. Being an electrician, I would suggest that !

Hi Graham, another cracking bit of scenery work again your getting really good at this lol 😂 great filming place as well cheers al

Great work on the scratch build and the installation of your layout. Mike HO Australia

Looks brilliant Graham 👍 perfect timing as I’m looking at putting in something similar to my layout 😊

Excellent job with the installation and car park👍

An inspired bit of modelling. The simplest of ideas are often the best, I love the detailing!

Just spent an hour catching up on your progress since the lockdowns Graham...Not sure how ive missed this channel but glad im here now. Nice one on stating your influencing channels. Youre modelling a lovely era for rolling stock, the scenery has come on so well, inspirational for us all, always good to see mid video running shots as well. Looking forward to seeing more, new Sub here obviously ATB Steve

Another good bit of modelling . Thanks again for the update Graham. Really enjoyed watching that 😀

Top job Graham. The roof needs some weathering along with the bottom of the fencing. Also may I suggest some vents as well. John

Great video, nice job, looks fab

Very nicely done sir!

I suddenly have a cake craving after watching this video! It must have something to do with that perfect slice you cut out of the scenery! Great video as usual. Keep them coming and we'll keep on watching!

Looks great, well done

Nice work. 👍

Great work mate ,just gets better and better Take care Mark😊😊

Thats brilliant Graham, love the final conclusion of the sub station and embankments - great work buddy.. All the best Garry

Class modelling.

Really looks the business that Graham. I couldnt do it myself, so please forgive me for slight nit picking, maybe a slight weathering on the roof of the substation. Another great video though.

RAILWAY ELECTRIFICATION SUBSTATIONS ! I don't like to point this out, but the style of "sub station" you are scratchbuilding, is a classic Southern Region third rail 750v DC design. Even down to the SR Green access door ! The 25,000v 50Hz AC used on lines fitted with Catenary, which appears to be what you are modelling, judging by the stock seen on your layout. Had sub stations of a totally different design. There being much higher voltages to deal with, so different types of electrical parts !!! From memory one of the German manufacturers who produce working overhead catenary, also had a more suitable "overhead" type sub station in HO Scale as a kit. The German Railway overhead system is 15,000v AC, which obviously has similar needs and somewhat similar equipment to BR AC substations. The manufacturers being Sommerfeldt; Veissmann; & if they are still in business Vollmer.

Looks great and the 3d printed transformers are a great addition. I have a printer and modelled some relay boxes and a few other elements. I worked in consulting engineering and modelled substations every now and again for the projects. You may know, the concrete roofs were required to resist an explosion inside the building and they had small windows with explosion proof covers tied to the building with chains. Of course we don’t need that level of detail. Where did you get the fence? I did an example of a scratch built building based loosely on a substation building and I just cut up a rad board box to keep it simple for those who have never attempted it. Good luck moving forward and I will be watching for your up coming builds. Very nice layout.

Hi hope you found some bargains at st ives keep up the good work on you layout Graham

Darrenbury Central Hi love the new sign at the start v good. The s stn i thought looks brilliant well done. How about a mobile phone mast somewere. Also you could do a railway or general scrapyard would look good. Tatty Bi

You did a brilliant job there graham really does look the part very clever!! Where you get your people from as i really do like the quality of them all the best buddy look forward to the nxt installment..

Hi Philip here me and my girlfriend like your layout Iam doing my railway layout similar is that ok let me know.and were do I get a substation from I 00 scale let me know..
