A very interesting and informative video. FYI There are two surviving lock keepers cottages on Bradley Street that are now private residences.

Not a fan of talking hands.

Bro....your video , albeit informative, is crap in quality. Due mostly to unstabilized video and really crummy audio,,( no wind suppressors) Keep going, Im sure you'll do better

roll up doors are used mostly for local work some refer mostly local the post office uses roll up company that do drop and hook use them . many company use rolls ups like Costco wallmmart and refers do use them many warehouse you can't go on the docks and roll up doors as they age they get stuck to as a driver next time if you drive across the country our in a truck stop you can count the numbers of roll up doors .And you are doing a drop and hook you may not be able to open or closes the door structure has little to do with it nice build keep modeling ,

U guys went to a lot of work on this project and it's awesome!!! I've lived in Niagara all my life and didn't know this , until now ! Excellent work ! Peace ✌️ from Mike in Welland Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

I have one in a case on my coffee table. I built the model, and my Dad cut up all the small logs that are in the tender.

Currently reliving my childhood building this very "golden oldie"! Nice seeing how you problem-solved. I had a chuckle noting the propeller tip discrepancies for the yellow-as you did. Hopefully I'll add the below-wing fuel tanks with tiny plasti-card filler caps and more accurate attachment points. Love your finish. It's fun trying to improve a 1960s model kit.🙂🙂🙂

In the winter they had skis instead of wheels

Very inspiring

First off, awesome videos. I now live in VT but grew up in Welland. I thought I knew everything about the canal but was surprised by the lock that lead from the canal to the Welland river (I new there was one right in Welland that lead to the East but I didn't know there was one on the Chippawa side. The thing I am not sure if you knew or not but when you talked about the aqueduct in Welland, the reason there is cement on the top edge is that it was once used as a swimming pool! they poured steps on one end and closed the other end off with a wall and dirt (it was actually open at that end for a long time and used unfiltered water from the canal). My dad owned a small family show store on Main Street in Welland for many years (Ernie's Shoes .. 1964 - 1976). I could walk out the back of his store and go to the pool. There was no indoor pools at the time ... Port Colborne got it's first in 1967. I took my swimming lessons there! The original aqueduct walls where the pool walls with a suspended walkway on one side. There was also a small pool right near the river. Great Video's .... Thanks ... Mike in Vermont

Awesome! I subscribed your channel with my profiles.

Great work! And we made another same convertion LOL ua-cam.com/video/X92zbfvFye8/v-deo.html

Hi Dan is so good to see you back in this video. Great tribute to your Dad restoring his General.

Great to see you back Dan! Sorry to hear about your health problems, I know what a stroke is like from personal experience. Really nice tribute to your dad too. 👍

I did wonder about a month ago if you were doing a Father’s Day build, nice to see you modelling again and sorry about the issues you’ve been experiencing

I realized I had missed you for a while, so welcome back, and I have always enjoyed your Fathers Day tribute builds, not just the projects and the quality of the builds, but there is often a touching back story to go along with it. It's a great thing to honor him with something he loved, and Happy Fathers Day to you!

Yay! Dan is here!

I Think It's a "BEAUTIFUL" TRIBUTE TO YOUR FATHER Dan and May He R. I. P. Amen and Amen ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏 Gary.

Great to see you back Dan, hope you’re doing okay. Always love your Father’s Day tributes, it looks great. 👍🏻🇦🇺

Nicely done - BUT - 445 Squadron never flew Mk 5s - only Mk 4Bs. Squadron aircraft were in natural aluminum when based at North Bay, then at Uplands. They were all camouflaged when based at 1 (F) Wing Marville, France.

We did the Great Lakes in May 2022 Loved it

Hi Dad, I don't know if you got my email at you superfrills account wishing you happy birthday 🎂

Im from sarnia where the Algorail was in winter dock and my friends father was the security assigned to live on Algorail so anyway my friend and I Camped out on her for 10 days we had the run of the ship including the fridge and freezer, I mean there was every find of steaks ice cream treats,chicken wings, fingers,burgers ect any thing you could think of and a restaurant kitchen to cook it up. When I saw this video I was saddened but writing this comment thinking of the fun we had,I realize my memories will never be scrapped

, 😂😂😂😂Bla Bla bla

Still cannot find Part 2.

David R Lentz, USA I remember this Monogram kit of the Packard classic car. I recall the body and the wheel fenders were a glossy black (so I kept it that way), not brown. I had sold it to a master-level car body man; he and a businessman, when they had acquired the rights to the name, had formed a car manufacturing firm to produce Packards. They were quite grand, selling dozens to people as far away as California. I used the money to buy another, as well as other related Monogram Classics kits; this second attempt was better. Decades later, I built a pair of Duesenbergs; one a buff with a deeper brown, and a leather interior, the second gloss black with a burgundy accent, and for the interior, Humbrol’s reddish Wine (scarcely a minute after I had typed that, you mentioned your Humbrol leather colour turned to sludge or goo!). You shortly thereafter noted your missing distributor. I supplanted mine with aftermarket versions that had the wires extending from it. I did not fully understand the engine firing sequence, nor how to set each to its proper spark plug; I have no idea if I correctly had set them. I also found an aftermarket set of interior door fixtures, from which I added to each window cranks and door handles. In admiring your finished results, I must sat that your father’s use of the bright blue-the breathtaking azure of a cloudless dusk-body paint makes for a truly elegant monochromatic colour scheme. If I ever have the chance, I would buy several: one a gloss black, the other a two-tone French vanilla and caramel. And perhaps a white one, with brass trim in lieu of the silvery chrome.

David R Lentz, USA Oh, would I love a few of these (along with Duesenbergs, Packards, Cords, Auburns) for different settings, most of their bodies in two-colour paint schemes (a few monochromatic, especially gloss black). These I would mix in with the various versions of AMT’s Ford later Model T kits available (I think I have counted at least four stock manifestations: roadster, coupe, pickup truck, depot hack, etc.), Lindberg’s three 1926 Mack trucks, and MPC’s 1921 Oldsmobile (this in the BMCK channel “GRANNY'S HOT ROD” [of The Beverly Hillbillies television programme] UA-cam build video, Saturday, 6 November, 2023); these would populate my streetscape diorama, placing them all in a vibrant Roaring ’20s streetscape diorama in the late 1920s a couple years prior to the Wall Street crash of October 1929.

David R Lentz, USA An excerpt of video from the “Last Blast” Show held in Barrie Ontario, October 2018. You mention that the vehicle in the video is a Euclid R22 Quarry Truck, and its 6-71 Detroit Diesel Engine some “called the most efficient way to turn diesel fuel into sound!” Actually, this is “the most efficient way to turn diesel fuel into” black exhaust smoke.

David R Lentz, USA Dan, what year of manufacture is this 1970s Dodge CNT-900 Truck, please?

David R Lentz, USA You build here is doubly delightful for me to watch: 1) a project I could not afford, and 2) I do not know my skills for so ambitious a project: a resin kit. At 12:57, you impress upon us that this is a hobby. I by preference am more inclined to exacting accuracy and precision-spelling (my area of expertise!), maths (not my area of expertise!), measurements, models, everything. However, as I was building a model kit, someone a decade or so past had corrected me-I cannot recall exactly-something like a photograph in a monograph on that particular vehicle showing a supporting fixture with six bolts, three to each side in a 6-inch flange (if that even is the correct term) attaching to the chassis framing. Another fellow showed me on an actual truck the same supporting fixture with four bolts, two to each side in a 4½-inch flange attaching to the chassis framing. He inferred that several years after the initial production run, the manufacturer had made improvements on later vehicles that the photograph represented, during which time the designers and engineers evidently had incorporated numerous upgrades. My kit was correct at its time of production. When it comes to corrections, I greatly prefer them well prior to my making the error, when I am in a good position to do something to resolve the matter. Instead of extruded polystyrene C channel for added sturdiness, why would one not use steel C channel stock of the appropriate or similar dimensions? I ask not to criticise (I would be five years late for yours anyway!), but to learn from your greater wherewithal and experience. I have experienced sags in large structures of models. And I am just a word nerd! In any case, how did it work for you? Had you finished the Dodge tow truck?

I’m super late to this party so I apologize for resurrecting an ancient comment section but I have just bought this kit and found your build series - I think it’s the best available for this subject, by the way. I was just wondering why you didn’t strip the chrome off a few of those parts, the tanks in particular, rather than trying to fight your way around it. The tanks on most heavy trucks are made of aluminum which some people like to polish to a mirror finish. However, no matter how much they are polished they never look the way kit chrome does. One of my biggest peeves about model kits is the gawdawful way the chromed parts look. I hate the way that chrome finish gives even the best built model a toy-like appearance, so I almost always end up stripping the chrome trees and either BM foiling or spraying parts with one of Alclad’s excellent options. This gives the part, and the model in general, a much more realistic appearance. That aside, I’m loving this build (excellent job stretching the frame!) and I’m enjoying your videos. Yes, I have subscribed. As a further aside, I have found K&S alloy tubing to be excellent for making driveshafts as it is straight and true and won’t bow the way a long length of plastic rod does. I would like to have seen that shaft split into two parts, or at least had a hanger bearing added. A single unsupported shaft of that length would probably deflect a bit and shake the crap out of the truck. 😀 Oh! One more thing: I note that you’re in southern Ontario so you may not see many northern haulers in your area. In northern Ontario (and many other parts of the country) larger deer such as elk and moose crossing the road at night are a danger to truck drivers. Moose in particular are heavy enough that, if struck by a highway truck, they can absolutely destroy the hood/grill, and tall enough that their main bulk will come through the windshield into the cab. Variations of the “Mad Max” style front bumper and moose bar that comes with the kit are quite common on trucks that frequent areas populated by these enormous creatures. It is terrifying enough to encounter one crossing the road at night in a heavily forested, extremely rural area where the only light is that of your headlamps. It is almost impossible to avoid striking the animal, so drivers try to protect themselves by installing very large, heavily-built bumpers/bars on the front of their rigs. Thanks for all the great content. I am stealing a lot of your ideas and techniques.

Have you built the Mack dm600?

Hi mate great video! I filled in the seat backs of my peterbilt 379 with tamiya putty smoothed & off worked a treat but as you state nobody will see that, pretty naff thing for italeri kit production to skimp on detail. no engine either? I was looking at this kit a while ago in a shop but the proprietor said there was no engine in the kit... no sale for that one but bought the Iveco turbostar 190 with engine and tilting cab... nice! have since bought the MAN wolf transport and the Red moulded MAN kit no engines but I'm MAN truck Daft!..so not bothered ! 2 x scania high lines and 1 Merc Actros MP4 Gigaspace (silver)..

Definitely came from windsor ontario swa or windsor transit. They had tunnel bus services to Detroit for tiger or red wing games dwntwn

Beaucoup de mérite pour cette reprise et un beau résultat ...Congrest !!...

I bet the work is fun and satisfying if Rick returned for his next shift every day for 26 years.

I'm not the only one that noticed this front end of this kit was wrong. I managed to find a 1978 Dodge Van front grill, that I bought for $20 on E-Bay. Glad I did. It made the kit look way better. I also cut out a sunroof in the top so It was correct to the van in the movie also.

Missing new uploads. Hope you are okay!

Now it's $5 bottle😢

This was my dad’s machine, I built the hood and grill to look like the newer model, but it originally had the old rounded front end and I also built the custom ladder on the side, which was modeled after a Hough 65 pay loader ladder. It looks exactly the same as when we sold it in an equipment auction in 1996 after my dad died, other than It used to say Sheren Bros. Excavating on the side electrical covers. It had old air plane tires on the back when we sold it. This earthmover/pan was located in Grand Ledge MI. Glad to see it still running❤️

I have used 60 year old Testor's no problem

That's why they called them the Gutless Cutlass but what a fantastic looking plane.

i, for one, had faith in the little red dozer the whole time. this looks like so much fun!

You did an amazing job and even with the tweaking is awesome

Even with the new MPC line from Round 2, MPC is questionable at best. I only get MPC when no other maker or Resin kit is available.

6uot model

Hey Dan ! Missing your model building! Did you finish the Lincoln? 😂Bring it on !

the gates left at the side of the canal ...where from the Erie canal in new york state my reference for this comes a former city supervisor ..who has extensive knowledge ,,thank you

The size of these stone blocks is huge, as a stone mason, the knapping of these stones in the 1880s would have been very time consuming, not to mention haulage and placement. Is there any founding information to the years these were constructed ?

I have this kit, and nearly finished it, as it is the old Heller model with the updated sprues for the engines, it is actually a nice kit and goes together really well, all that needs doing really is taking off those over sized rivets and if you feel confident re-rivet it with a rivet wheel
