Your tip with the fine leaf foliage was fantastic! I’ve never seen it used like that before and the result looked amazing. The layout is progressing so fast and is looking great. Can’t wait to see you progress 😉

Coming along nicely and even a positive comment from Luke Towan. Great work Tris.

Another great video Tris. 15-20mins bite size vids combined with your unhurried presentation style means it is both informative but also very relaxing to watch. Look forward to the next instalment.

Looking great Tris! Really enjoying this series. Love how each episode is not rushed and this makes it very relaxing to watch. Cant wait for the next one! 😊

Looks good to me Tris. Like the bund ladders.

Good progress Tris, the weathering on the retaining wall is looking really good and the steel supports under the bridge look good too. Looking forward to the next episode. Cheers

Nice. Very Nice. Great progress on the Shunting Yard.

Looks excellent Tris. The addition of the I beam under the bridge really adds some extra detail along with the raised road surface. The fuel tanks look good as well I have actually brought the Ratio kit recently so looking at yours has given me some ideas. - Nicholas.

His Tris. Just ordered the wills bricks to do my retaining wall for the station. Good roadway always have trouble deciding how to do my road. Thanks for showing us. DELPH JUNCTION (Pete)

Great series so far. I have started several OO shunting layouts in the past and failed to get beyond laying track. Your series may prompt me to try again and actually finish one.

Hi, the road looks a lot better now, I really like the texture you added to it aswell. The layout is coming along nicely.

Fantastic vid and some great ideas! One alternative to cheap reading is different grades of coarse sandpaper. I’ve used it a few times and if you change the coarseness you can replicate different scales, fine grade for ‘N’ and coarse for 00 or larger. Looking outward to the next vid!

Another wonderful video thank you

Looking really good mate

Excellent series, just right to encoura😢ge beginners to the hobby. However you do seem to have got in a bit of a tizz regarding the bridge. A standard Wills brick panel is 76mm in height, if you had cut 15 or 16mm off the top it would have not only provided the correct visual height but still allowed plenty of clearance for a train to pass under it, therefore removing the need to raise the road using eye beams. Also another point is the lack of side piers which should flank the metal girder, these should be slightly higher than the girder. I don't wish to be over critical, but during my modelling career l have lost count of the number of overbrdges l have constructed.

I personally would have put the beam under the varigirder to add depth under the girder side of the bridge and lower the bridge height so it doesn’t look so skinny, so I think you modified it the hard way in this version, but this little layout is coming on nicely

Wonderful details, very realistic 👍👍👍

Looks better Tris, had you thought about extending the track by the fuel depot to get in a buffer stop or sleeper across the track? also the fuel intake or outlet pipes look very close to the bung wall, often these were carried through the bung wall with shut off valve.

Looking good

Great video keep it up

Hi Tris, looking great. Have you used foamex board? It's great for lifting levels and also easy to scribe. Happy New Year, Dave.

I wonder if it would be possible to use those magnetic solenoid decoupler thingys you can get? Maybe they would work well on a small layout like this for all the shunting?

Will you have a track or fiddle yard coming out behind that bridge? So train have room to run off them three sidings into one

I'm enjoying this series Tris but, whilst not wishing to be a killjoy, you might want to consider clarifying your comments re. taking sand from a beach: its not widely known but in the UK I understand this is illegal under the Coastal Protection Act 1949. Sorry, but I thought it best to mention this before anyone goes off filling their jam jars!
