Yes miniprints! Love their stuff.

I only screwed down the homasote. Didn’t varnish it. Track directly on top since it’s an industrial area, it wouldn’t really look right with raised track beds. Love homasote! Thanks for watching!

Absolutely. That’s for watching!

Thank you! Appreciate that. I’ll keep the content coming.

👍

Thank you!

Thanks Bill! Just posted a few pics

Miniprints.com. Great company with outstanding 3D printed details. They also have a UA-cam and Facebook page. Tell em Paul B sent you :) and thanks for watching!

@@HartfordWhaler thanks, I’ll check them out 🙏

Thank you! Look forward to sharing the progress. Might take a while, but I’ll post each step in the process. Thanks for watching!

Agree. Look forward to finishing it and getting it running. Thanks for watching!

Thank you James. May have room for a Dylington billboard now!

@@HartfordWhaler now that's well worth building an extension for 😁👍

Thank you Alex! SoFlo! Glad you enjoy the channel. I’ll keep you updated on the layout progress. Thanks for watching!

Me too! Can’t get myself to rip it up. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Anthony. Yeah, never easy to tear things up to add more. I like the curve on the corner of your layout. That’s the look I’m going for.

Thanks! I’ll keep you updated. Rigby the cat is 27/7 at my feet. Can’t complain.

Thanks George! Roy will be sure to get back either on your channel or via a comment here. Glad you enjoyed it. As always, thanks for watching!

Thanks for the comment, appreciated. The beauty of varying the colour (note correct spelling lol) palette is that it's what happens in the real world and so for minimal extra effort your realism is greatly enhanced. There will be a follow on video showing the Phase 2 weathering.. just waiting for the glue to dry! Roy

@@trainmanroysmodelrailroadh7686 Colour, indeed! I'm Canadian. Cheers!

Thank you for the comment and for watching. I’ll be sure Roy sees it!

Nice and simple, how many times have I been told that? If it's simple and effective I hope modellers are more inclined to give it a try. thanks for the comment

Fair questions. Challenge is, I can’t really go past the window which gives me a hard stop at 7’. Not enough length for a runaround or a ladder of switches. Relative to what I currently have, an extra 2 sidings of 48-52” will be ideal. But I know what you’re saying! I’ll keep you posted on the project.

@@HartfordWhaler Thanks Paul. Seems like you really know what you're doing. I'm planing something smaller on a 26 inches wide x 60 inches long module. Already built and ready to use. Something I could fully detail and work on several aspects of modeling I'm not doing lately. It only needs time witch I'm short of right now. I bought a Peco #6 turnout a few months ago (new version) and I'm not desapointed. I'm still mind setting my brain on it. Even with this kind of space, there's always missing room for all I would like to put on. So far, you've been very inspiring ! I would like a tracker to be part of it. Thanks for helping me cause you're already doing it.

@@HartfordWhaler Forgot... I'm only using Code 70 tracks and turnouts. I feel out of scale when I get to 83.

Appreciate the comments and good ideas. Sounds like we have a similar take on how these last mile railroads work. It’ll be an interesting project. Thanks for watching and for the comments.

Good insights. I use a combo of washes and powdered Vallejo pigments. Once I master the airbrush a bit more, that will be part of my technique. I’m sure Roy will see your comment and either connect directly or post a comment here. Thanks for watching!

@@HartfordWhaler I've not tried Vallejo pigments, though they seem popular, so perhaps at some point I'll give them a go. My father was a commercial artist decades before computer-generated images took over, so I've inherited a lot of his ideas and techniques even though I don't have his 'eye'.

The only time I use pigments is on the approach to signals, siding ends and junctions with stop signals. Its a light (very light) dusting of fresh/medium rust powder to simulate break dust as a train stops. This does build up over the years, rain doesn't seem to touch it. The beauty of modelling is that there are multiple ways to achieve results, what works for you is all that matters. Thanks for the comment and happy modeling, Roy

Cheers, Roy will see your comments. Thanks for watching!

Get back at it! It is hard to find the time, but when you do it is a bit therapeutic. Thanks for the comments and for your continued support and viewership!

It’s a comin’. Might be a few weeks, but we’ll get there. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Todd! If all goes well, I’ll have just enough space to get everything in the extension I need. Always stressful making that first rail cut with these projects. Have to destroy before you build. Thanks for watching!

I gave Roy your channel link Bill. He’ll be happy to see your comment. Appreciate it!

@@HartfordWhaler Yes thank you Bill, I tried to make my accent less pronounced so you would be able to understand me. The next video will have subtitles! 😁

He’s out!

Gotta throw some in here and there. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! It rolls but isn’t powered. They’re on Amazon. Nice for photos or visual interest.

@@HartfordWhaler Thanks

Really appreciate that. My goal is to always have a backstory to my scenery and layout in general. Makes it more enjoyable. Appreciate your continued support and viewership!

You’re welcome ☺️

Not sure actually. The company is Brandt and I believe they are in Canada. You could probably just ring them and ask. I am modeling late ‘90s-early 2000s but not sure when they were first introduced.

@@HartfordWhaler Thanks! They make interesting models. I'll keep researching.

Cheers Ricky! Can’t wait to get it started!

Thank you! Always enjoy the detail and weathering on your layout!

For sure. Love miniprints. Just discovered them recently. It’s the small details that make a difference. As miniprints says on their website, “think small”

Thanks for watching!! Love your products.

Thank you!

I really appreciate that. Glad you find the content inspiring! Always fun to know my UK brethren are watching the channel! I’ll try to keep the content interesting.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you James! I’ve been enjoying your posts and videos.

@HartfordWhaler thank you, Paul. That's good to hear 🙂👍

You definitely have to make one…or three. Good to hear about your airbrush. Looking forward to learning how to use mine. Thanks for the comments and for watching!

Thank you! I really appreciate the compliment!

Thanks 👍 Thank you for watching!

Appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I had to have some old ties on there. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Yeah that one is my favorite. Appreciate you watching!

Thank you very much!
