I'm with you there 100%. I have no interest in railway modelling but find this addictive viewing and really admire the attention to detail.

A video that is both informative for rail enthusiasts and inspirational for modellers. Excellent.

Have really become ever so absorbed into this channel, lovely to relax with in the evening after work. That's even after spending all day working for Network Rail!

Look, one of my simple pleasures in life, whenever I see a long freight train, is counting the number of wagons as they go past. You’ve posted several clips of this during your video, but have cut them off before the train had fully passed, so I’ve been denied my little piece of joy. It’s not big, and it’s not clever, so behave. 😂

Looks stunning now and even better in front of those rake of Yeoman wagons. Well worth the effort spent on it to get it as close to the real things as possible....... sounds pretty awesome too.

Does not matter how long just more often. Your work is spot on, love the show.

Two Everard Junction vids in quick succession. Yay! Thank you.

Your patience and detail absorbs me more than the out of box product. Well done. Congratulations. I get a great insight to your minds eye.

Another amazing video. The attention to detail is fantastic. Really enjoy the videos of Everard Junction. Always look forward to your new uploads. Keep up the amazing work.

Great work as always. Liked the documentary section. I can no longer have a layout myself so watching yours is most enjoyable. Thank you

Evening Richard. What an absolutely fantastic transformation of a modern but classic locomotive 👍🏻

Excellent as usual, but I particularly enjoyed the history.

A superb result, stunning work, thanks for sharing, love it love it !

As always this is a great video and thanks for the effort you put into them. The details and history at the start really brought the project to life. Hope you are pleased with this latest addition to the layout

another great video to watch. cheers Richard, happy new year to you and your family.

Very enjoyable 49mins of Everard Junction- thank you and Happy New Year 👍

Great job Richard & thanks for sharing. 👍

That is superb work, Richard. As you suggest, the model's eminently runnable out of the box, but your amendments and upgrades really hit a sweet spot.

Great indepth video and full of tips and information Richard thanks

A fine job indeed Richard! Small tweaks here and there make a big difference in my opinion.

This is Fantastic, a real delight to, watch your hard work, to Make this Model More accurate!

Love this detailed look into the Class 59, really interesting watch!

Splendid! I am impressed with the light weathering.

A cracking loco, brilliant modelling work ,very impressive, looks smashing pulling all those wagons , just as I remember seeing it at Westbury making the station tremble , A very happy 2023 cheers 🎊

Thanks Richard, a very detailed informative video.Thank you for sharing all aspects of the modifications. Great channel and love the layout.

Brilliant ! I love the detail, history, and passion put into your layout. It`s a true work of art, big fan of your work sir! . always look forward to your updates. Keep up the exellent work!

Great video as always, just received my Foster Yeoman 59 just after Christmas and now seeing your video I have definitely got myself another model railway project, especially the lights

I loved the history lesson. I'd watch more of them.

Great video Richard! I was glued to the full video a fantastic modelling job and project and superbly presented in your video with all the background information and videos! Cheers Gary

Brilliant video the history how you got over the problems this model looks amazing with wagons thankyou for the tips and video

I love this! I love the sounds from the decoder and EM1 speaker, they are jaw dropping. I have now pre ordered my own model of 59004 in revised FY livery. Thanks 😊

Lovin it Richard another amazing update from everard junction! Great work on the loco modifications and details, it looked fantastic going around the layout with the rake of wagons behind it! Keep those video updates coming! Alan.

I always get in the model railway mood when watching your videos, could watch them for hours on end. You've certainly done a cracking job on the 59 tempted to try get one myself tbh

As always attention to every detail is incredible and a joy to watch .. the back story to the loco also adds to the whole quality … great great wrk

Another great video Richard. Loved the history bit at the start, and your attention to detail, yet again, does you proud. Kudos with the lights, great work for getting them lit properly. Can't believe Dapol didn't do that in the first place. Thanks and all the best.

Your awesome attention to detail pays off.

I just love watching an artist at work. You brought back to me the excitement of watching a layout at the model railway exhibition at the agricultural hall in London when I was in my teens with my dad. It also dare I say it brought back memories of some of the “weathering” of the North London line (now overground) I used to take to college. Thank you so much.

Yet another masterclass in railway modelling, it's still an utter joy to see your craftsmanship and skills at work. The history section was also informative and the running piece at the end shows how realistic the finished product is. Many thanks for sharing and already looking forward to seeing what you do next.

Insane realism, the 59 is a beautiful looking beast, and you've reached stunning levels of realism and perfectly captured the motive power factor. Thanks for a superb video once again

I do so enjoy these videos, and as I await 3 N gauge class 59s (including 59001), this was an excellent insight into the detail differences to lookout for. I am also part way through the task of building a rake of the JTA/JUA wagons (in a later livery version). Thanks for making these.

Wow - what a production. I love your method of painting wheels which I will copy! Thank you for making such an effort to produce an informative and interesting video!

a really fantastic, informative & enjoyable video. really great quality, TV documentary worthy. I super enjoyed, thanks for a great start to 2023

The 59 story is quite unusual so I thought it was worth telling. Most locos have good history but I do particularly enjoy the 59. Cheers

As with all forms of modelling and diorama creation it is knowing when to stop and the balance on your layout is spot on. Also, small details like the effort taken with the doors can just be enough to distract from the overall look. The effort was worth it as can be seen with it running. Just a great video to watch and learn from.

As usual you have improved upon your model and thank you for the history there I really enjoy editing learning something today. Go and have some fun, Chris

Another masterpiece.. love your narration skills too.. cheers

I admire your skills, to take a fresh out of the box model and hone the details as you did. I will certainly be taking some aspects of what you have done and applying them to my Dapol Yeoman 59. Thank you so much for the in-depth video, keep up the great work as you inspire me to push myself to do more.

Hi Richard, great video your attention to detail really comes through when you see the shots of the model after modification passing through the scenery on the layout, I agree with your view that the model is a good place to start and certainly benefited from your attention to detail in the weathering and modifications.

A well put together layout, everywhere I look I see convincing detail and the weathering on the locos and rolling stock are all specific to year and usage. Likewise the grime and soot on the layout generally is neither overdone or underdone but looks believable in my opinion. Very nicely done Richard you will have hours of pleasure and enjoyment with this layout tweaking it here and there and adding more rolling stock, thank you for sharing your passion with us enthusiasts. All the best for 2023.

Absolutely superb. (As always) Next level modelling and attention to detail. I have been extremely fortunate in my career to drive all the 59s (bar 59003) and they are seriously powerful workhorses. For reference, the head light switch was marked high/dim, but in 2017, only dim was the option. Always a treat to see you've uploaded. Thanks.

I read that the headlights ended up getting locked to dim but couldn't confirm it. They certainly seemed to have the headlights on a bright mode in various older photographs. Cheers for the info.

I am just starting a layout in a shed, so ive been following you for a while, you have some brilliant videos, i have to repair the shed before i start the build, but I will certainly be watching you for tips and tricks

Your attention to detail means slow progress, but once things get done, it makes for great realism and superb watching. Well done!

Thanks for this Rich, you're a star. I have one of these in the pipeline and the lighting issue was a bugbear. You've saved many people a headache. Its quite bizzae that some manufacturers continue to make some silly mistakes.

AMAZING Content. Thank you.

Hi Richard, Once again you show how an already good model can be converted into a superb one. Good on you for figuring out a simple solution for the lights and muddling through it, and my goodness was it worth using that brilliant tint paint! 🤓 It really does a great job of ‘scaling down’ the lights, otherwise it’s more like a searchlight! 😄 The sound on it is terrific too. Reminds me of when I lived in Tooting in the 90s when I’d often see a Yeoman train if I sat by the park having a sandwich in the sun. Instantly loved the 59s and it’s great to see how you have kept the engine lightly weathered. I certainly can’t remember ever seeing them particularly dirty myself 🤷🏻‍♂️ I do so very much love that van train and the permanent way train you have, but I think this has overtaken it as my favourite on your layout. It really is a joy. Great to see the Thumper out on the branch again too 😎 Cheers mate 👍🍀🍻

I remember these locos from my days as a signalling manager at Westbury. At that time, I would pick up operational duties - pilotman for single line working or hand signalling, so spent a fair bit of time in the cabs of these machines.

Excellent as always, glad you got the lights sorted in the end dude. You are deffo committed! I’ll give you that!

Hi. First of all congratulations on a set of videos you have made on building a model railway. I am approaching retirement and would like to resurrect my interest in the hobby and found your videos excellent. Your attention to detail and information given is second to none. Its been about 40 years since I last had chance to spend time on this hobby and a lot has changed in that time with dcc etc. I am only used to the old analogue way of doing things. Watching your videos has given myself and others endless information on how to go about things, wiring, electrics, track plans, etc etc. Thank you and keep up the good work. Steve.

Wow. Fascinating stuff. edit: they actually make specific paints for sleeper grim and roof dirt, it's real rabbit hole this railway modelling business.

A nice project well presented!

In the early 90s when i was a kid, I received a hornby intercity 225 track set up, got right into it spending pocket money on trees, figures and model buildings. Fast forward to today. Still have it but it's up in the parents attic so watching your videos is always a nice thought of early child hood. Your level of detail and the attention you put in is outstanding. Keep the videos coming

Excellent video

Very good, info at start very interesting 👍.

excellent video and such a perfect broadcast quality voice, very well narrated.

That was a great history lesson. Any chance of a few more with some of your other sunning stock? Great work by the way.

Your attention to detail is almost obsessive and I do not mean that as a criticism, as your profession in real life as a skilled craftsman warrants, you roll this over too your Modelling with superb results, you leave us mere mortals in your wake, the realism in your layout and running sessions are simply superb and what a lovely Loco the 59 is, best wishes and a happy new year, I'm sure there is more fantastic modelling coming up in 2023, regards, Colin.

thanks Richard for another great video you have shown all the things hi have been asking questions about since I got my yeoman class 59 as dapol instructions are not the best that's a great help and a great start to the new year kind regards ralph

Another great update Richard

Top work as usual. 46:24 new houses!!!!!!

Hi Richard. Thanks for another great video. When I ordered the ARC Village of Mells class 59 i was led to believe that it would come with Smoke & sound fitted. Alas, no sound but thanks to your work on yours, i've ordered the ESU Loksound 5 chip from Roads & Rails, so will be installing them with the EM1 speaker. Have you thought about fitting a sugar cube speaker as well to improve the sound in the higher frequencies. I feel the EM1 can sound a bit dull with certain sounds (like the spirax valve & wheel flange squeal), just a thought as i'm going to try that with mine. Thanks for the tip with the lights, they do look too blueish so toning them down makes them look much better. My 59 has a different light arrangement so i'll look into the correct working senarios & poss link them out like you did. As i'm no good with an air brush, i'll be leaving mine in the stock factory finish, it's a cracker of a model (like you said) so i'm pleased with it as it is. Thanks again for the great videos, always both informative & entertaining. 👍

Nice loco and even better after the work you’ve done 👍 I had a good laugh at the “opening doors” 😂😂😂

Love the history lesson on the 59's I pull stone out of torr works regularly too. I love seeing the sw1001 shunter and its sister 120 round at Hanson Whatley.

Nice video Richard. It's those little details that really make the model more realistic such as the lights and exhaust for example. Nice job the model certainly looks much better. - Nicholas.

Great video as always. As a non-Brit it never ceases to amaze me the sub par attention to detail of RTR UK models compared to other countries/manufacturers.

A fun fact about the Class 59 and 66 is that they were built in London, Ontario, Canada, at the GMD plant there. This is only about 3 hours from my hometown, and as my hometown is right along the CN Kingston subdivision, I would see 66s being transported on their way to Halifax for shipping to the UK when I was very young. I had also seen some on the docks when visiting family in Halifax.

Great intricate work there Richard. In particular, the roof exhaust height change chimes with my engineering head for details, Simon
