Appreciate all the engagement and excitement that’s turning up in the comments with these videos this year. Can I just ask that we dial the OCD level down from 11 to 9 please! It’s a model of an imaginary place on a table in the attic. It will never be true to life or 100% accurate in every detail. Remember, it’s about creating a balance, having fun and feeling a sense of days gone by. I don't want to put a dampener on things, far from it. However I feel with each video some of us are losing sight of what model railways are about. Cheers Guys 👍

I don’t have much interest in model railways! But I always end up back here! The attention to detail here is absolutely mind blowing, I actually can’t comprehend the time and dedication!

It's a strange feeling watching someone so expertly recreate one's childhood. 1980s station platforms waiting for my dad to come home from the office (Liverpool Street to Marks Tey, every day). The colour schemes, the clocks, the flickering train screens, the grim brickwork, the 'haphazardness' of it all before rules about wheelchair access and accessibility for visually impaired etc. meant railways had to look out for missing paving slabs etc. I'm not saying I want to go back to those times, but these videos are a wonderful comfort and nostalgia hit. Thanks Richard, superb craftsmanship aside, they're greatly appreciated on a personal level.

One of the many things I love about your layout is that it (to me) straddles the fine line between cosy and run down. You may not want to spend time in that car park after dark ... but at the same time you do, you know? It has character, I'd feel like I fitted right in walking those crooked paving slabs. Your layout looks so lived in, it's amazing.

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.

The discussing of the oil leaks from the cars from different manufactures made me chuckle far more than it should have! So relatable! 😂

Amazing as always! One detail missing...one of the bike racks should just have a sad wheel left locked where the rest of the bike had been nicked, common sight in Cardiff City Centre back in the day 😆

They were brave, parking their Audi Quattro in that dodgy car park, especially with him 47:51 lurking! 😮. Or was he waiting for her purse 55:28? I’ve been away without reliable internet access 😱 and when I saw you’d posted a layout update, I couldn’t wait to watch. I picked a quiet Sunday afternoon, cup of tea, biscuit barrel and sat myself down to be amazed and awed with your model building skills. I wasn’t disappointed! Thank you for sharing with us.

I was trying to think why these videos have been so addictive to me over the years. I suppose it's just fascinating to watch someone with such zeroed-in dedication to their hobby not just tirelessly build their dream layout, but do it with such incredible imagination and skill. Keep going, Richard, we love it!

Just watched it with my wife. You just modelled her teens to early 20s in and around Ealing Broadway Station. Dingy car park - spot on, including trip hazard paving. Evoking an era is, as I've said before, at least as much a piece of art as anything at The Slade or Royal College of Art

After just one minute of this video I'm already flattened by this detailed layout. I can nearly smell the p*** in the dark corners of this station. Thanks a lot for your inspiring work.

Superkings. My Grandad used to Smoke them and I remember those adverts.👍🇬🇧🇮🇱🇬🇧

Hands down that car park area is a work of art. It's unreal in the detail and thought that has gone into it. Honestly it looks so realistic you can almost smell it.

Amazing once again. I'm reminded of my time working on the railway in the 1980s.

Wow, it looks so realistic that when you have something like a pair of scissors in shot they look giant sized! Absolutely superb work.

Mindblowing realism as always. You and Cityscape Studio remain my two favorite KZfaq modellers by far, representing my two favorite rail systems in the world.

What did I just watch? Amazing. How to turn a blank canvas into a masterpiece.

Absolutely brilliant Richard. That was a great watch, thoroughly enjoyed it.

A masterpiece. Certainly looks like the London of yesteryear. Well done.

the shops/flats look really good, the rest lucks a bit to clean, dont know if theirs anything u can do, the concrete on the shops looks well weathered, brilliant job brother,the attention to details like making your own handrails, sloping the odd bollard etc is top notch keep on keeping on brother bob&MrTao,xxx

Fantastic work as ever Richard! 🤓 I like how you have altered the terrain slightly to incorporate the canal and give a reason for the other part of the canal being slightly curved 🤔 I really like those drain covers as they add an element that is seldom modelled, rather like the addition of graffiti and litter too! And the wee scene with the ramp and overgrown foliage really does give the scene a gritty realism that brings back memories for me as a young man when either off to London for a gig or to work, or on my way back from a night out after wetting a few too many whistles and trying desperately to work out how to use the ticket machine that seemed to be moving around as I tried to put coins in!🤪🥃🍺🍷 Must say the road furniture (especially the parking ticket machines) look like excellent products and you have used the. Very well 😎 Cheers mate 🍻🍀👍

Can’t recall if I have commented on this channel before, but felt compelled to today. I was really happy to see a new video this evening. It’s exactly what I needed. This has become the perfect relaxation tool for me, so joyous is it watching it all come together. Yes the standard is very very high, but it’s presented in such an inspiring and logical way that it makes it seem within reach. This layout / channel has inspired me to sort out my railway room after a years break (house move) and now I am nearly back to actual modelling. Thanks a lot for doing this.

I liked your installation of putting the new car park lamp post from model signs and I also liked how you designed and made your own car park area for your train station.

Gorgeous work as always!

Fantastic piece of work!

I just really enjoy seeing this microcosm grow & increase in detail. I'll never own a model railway but it's great watching this tiny world develop: the attention to detail is phenomenal! So relaxing too

I've been following your progress for some years now but have never commented, everybody else seems to say everything I am thinking before me. Anyhow, just to say, that car park absolutely transforms that whole area and really has a great overall effect on the station. I was living in and around London during the seventies and eighties...you sir, are spot on. Well done.

Man I'd love to see a compilation of all your intro videos! The sound recordings you chose for them are spot on.

Absolutely gobsmacking attention to detail all done with a truly artistic aesthetic

Absolutely stunning

Brilliant video. Enjoy watching your updates. Gives me alot of ideas.

Excellent as always some very useful information for my layout many thanks

Absolutely fantastic detailing! Love your videos!

Awesome to see how far this layout has come.

Brilliant attention to detail, Keep up the good work

Bloody great work Richard 👍👍

That whole scene came together perfectly. You're a Master.

Love these longer episodes!! Great stuff as always.

This is impressive. I am impressed. 1980s nostalgia joy!

Just what this Sunday ordered! An episode of Everard Junction! :)

Absolutely fantastic. I have been watching your layout grow for some time and every time you just seem to get things so right.

Absolutely fabulous

Richard thank you so much for sharing your layout with us, it is a masterpiece.

Truly amazing, what insight & patience you must have.

A wonderful hour of relaxing viewing. Thank you.

Brilliant stuff as always Richard 👍🏻

Superb ! Another brilliant video. Looking forward to the canal scene. Thank you for taking the time to post these updates.

I’m going to say it out loud i cannot believe how this channel and your layout didn’t win an award really cannot understand it… to say you’re the Rembrandt of Model railway doesn’t do you and the quality of your work justice…. The attention to detail, the quality and your presentation skills 2nd to none…

Nicely designed and executed.

Brilliant video many thanks, going well.

Great to see the station progress, not touched my 6x4 modern layout for a good 2 years now so given me some motivation to get back at it

Some brilliant work there Richard, overall looks very good.

Just fabulous...I learn so much from your videos mate

Just breath taking. Inspirational from beginning to end.

Fantastic Work As Always.

Wonderful it gets better and better great modelling skills and attention to detail. Looking forward to the next installment.

Awesome video Awesome modelling. I'm from that time and it's bang on mate. That's why I love your vids. It's like going back in time.

Unbelievable! What fantastic detail 👏 superb job. 👍

From the wobbly tiles of the sidewalk to the colour of the lamp poles - perfection in every detail. Really amazing arts work!

Another great video, thanks.

Fantastic looking Area,great job,thanks for the video.Kerp up the good work.

Great modelling, as usual, looking forward to the next instalment.

I love your attention to detail, you never disappoint. Keep up the good work.

Really does tie off that area well. Love the night scenes 👌

Fantastic work, Rich!!! The level of brightness is perfect, just how I remmeber those NSE car parks back then.

Of everything you've built I think this is the best. Looks sensational and you've blended the whole thing together really well. Cracking job.

Brilliant work as always, and another great video. You make it look so easy and almost as if everything just looks this good without much effort. I also spotted what looks like a black Escort XR3 in the carpark beside the bike shed, just like the one I had back in the day. Brought a nostalgic smile to my face, so bonus points for that!

Fully visualise one of the bikes to be rusted, flat tyres clearly left chained up for years!! Yours is one of the few KZfaq videos of my hobby that my wife will sit and watch with me lol! Very enjoyable and useful info thanks Richard.

3:18 Great to see faithful modelling of the infamous 1:1 600x8000 posidrive screws used on Western Region's bridges... ;)

Really superb effort! I love what you have done with this part of the station on your layout; loads of great ideas and all done really well. I always enjoy your videos and am already looking forward to the next installment! Thank you!!

An excellent Artist at work !

I love this channel. So relaxing. And I love how you have recreated a bit of brutish 60s/70s England that fits so well with how I remember it.

Great video Richard. Your attention to detail is stunning and your station is coming along brilliantly. Cant wait to see the finished article. Many thanks Steve.

Stunning !!! As usual, your superb attention to detail, and excellent hard work has again taken me back to my youth. Thank you

Once again, such wonderful work. Thanks for showing us how you created a typical parking and station entrance area. It works very well. Cheers - Larry.

Fantastic episode, parts of the intro sequence looked real life, impressive !!!

Rich, this is such an inspirational layout! Your attention to detail is truly amazing. I hope to use many of your techniques with my layout build. Oh, and best BR era and location 😊👍🏼

Wow just fantastic work. Great video thanks for sharing with us 👍🏻🚂 TSM

Incredible..this is a masterpiece...epic modelling

You have such a fantastic eye for detail. I find your videos fascinating how you bring a scene together. Great stuff!

Sometimes it helps to miss the odd one or two videos just to appreciate the hard work you put into this layout Richard well done mate some great tips that I will be implementing into my layout when it gets to that point

It’s interesting looking at the comments with your reference to days gone by. I was born in the fifties so my days gone by go back even further. Excellent work though, excellent!

Absolutely superb

Amazing as always Richard, you seem to get so much done so quickly! Whenever I slow down on my own layout I just watch one of your videos and it inspires and excites me to crack on!
