Wow that's awesome
Miniprints tie plates ?
Yes miniprints! Love their stuff.
Hi Paul, ḍid you directly glue the homasote or did you varnish it? Also, track directly on top?
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!
Tie plates are versatile. Very versatile.
Absolutely. That’s for watching!
Subscribed
Thank you! Appreciate that. I’ll keep the content coming.
Cool
👍
Smart do this before you paint to get a feel of your airbrush tool. Good tip. 👍
Thank you!
This expansion was a good idea 👍
Thanks Bill! Just posted a few pics
Out of interest, what brand tie plates are you using?
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 🙏
Sounds like a good plan. Your plan for the abandoned siding is a grest location for the MOW equipment. Now we're all anxious to see the expansion completed and in action. Good luck in completing it.
Thank you! Look forward to sharing the progress. Might take a while, but I’ll post each step in the process. Thanks for watching!
Excellent,more opportunities for switching!
Agree. Look forward to finishing it and getting it running. Thanks for watching!
That sounds like an interesting plan, Paul. We're looking forward to following your progress with your layout extension...cheers James 🙂👍
Thank you James. May have room for a Dylington billboard now!
@@HartfordWhaler now that's well worth building an extension for 😁👍
Awesome series and I continue to enjoy your layout progress. Keep up the great work Chap!!!! -Alex from SoFlo West Pines.
Thank you Alex! SoFlo! Glad you enjoy the channel. I’ll keep you updated on the layout progress. Thanks for watching!
I'm pleased that you're keeping your little weedy track. Looks very cool.
Me too! Can’t get myself to rip it up. Thanks for watching!
Glad you got that all settled…and ready to progress onward with the extension…
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.
Very exciting update, really like the idea about an interchange with CSX, which gives me an idea to ponder, and I can hardly wait to see progress videos. And please feel free to include your kitty more often. Part of the problem I'm having in planning my layout, is that the longest wall (~12 ft / 3.7 m) in my little office includes a west facing window that my cats enjoy in the afternoon as they have a tower in front of it so they can sunbathe. So, I just might have to shorten my layout considerably, or create a shadowbox layout that my cats can lay on top of (-which they'd probably enjoy regardless of the time of day). LOL
Thanks! I’ll keep you updated. Rigby the cat is 27/7 at my feet. Can’t complain.
Nice work Roy! Your results are more random and simulate the reality of the look of aged track. I was considering a more uniform scheme across my trackwork however after seeing this video and looking up some photos, I decided to go with your workflow. Looking forward to more of your videos! Paul, your turn...
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!
Very informative and it is looking great. Nice and simple
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
Hey Paul. Are you sure 8 inches will be wide enough ? You know what I mean... at the end, that's the kind of mistake I do and did in the past. NOT using enough space when it was possible. But you know better than me how much room you need for that project. Are you planing to move cars by both pulling and pushing them ? Thanks for the update. I still feel bad for that wonderful abandoned track !!! At least you're keeping it !
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.
My yard is based heavily on a (small!) section of Midway Yard with quite a few 'borrowed' scenic elements from the old GBW Norwood Yard. As you are planning to do with CSX, I can have the BNSF or UP drop a cut of cars for last mile service by the Minnesota Commercial. It adds another fun operating dimension to small layouts and provides a connection to the wider world that the greats of the hobby always recommended we do. Even if you can't get an operational LH turnout in, modelling it as a 'ghost' could be an option that fits in with the abandoned siding theme. I've got a couple of 'ghost' turnouts designed in to my plan along streets (Traffic St NE and Cleveland St NE) to try to capture a little of what we see so much of with modern 'last mile' operators that use parts of fallen flag networks. Loving your channel, and very much looking forward to seeing how this extension turns out.
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.
Nicely done. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the series and the finished result. I also airbrush mine once it's down using Tamiya paints thinned with IPA, then use the dreaded pan pastels for final highlighting work. I used to use a mix of the old-school enamels but the different pressures required etc (and the cleanup), drove me crazy. Pan pastels can be blended together with other weathering or toned down with straight IPA or IPA-based washes too and this makes the finished result far less 'contrived'.
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
Well done!
Cheers, Roy will see your comments. Thanks for watching!
Can’t wait to see the progress, I need to get back to work on my layout, haven’t worked on it in a few months, keep lookin up 🙏🏻
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!
whell just whait for it
It’s a comin’. Might be a few weeks, but we’ll get there. Thanks for watching!
oh wow Paul, this is going to be exciting ;-)
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!
Nice job Roy, you made it look both easy and effective. I hope it inspires others to pick up the airbrush. (Closed captions came in handy 😆) Take care - Bill.
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! 😁
😂 Well that oughta shut him up! 😆
He’s out!
To take out a loud mouth employee!! Love the humor!
Gotta throw some in here and there. Thanks for watching!
Nice layout. Does that Hi-Rail excavator at the beginning actually operate?
Thank you! It rolls but isn’t powered. They’re on Amazon. Nice for photos or visual interest.
@@HartfordWhaler Thanks
Very nice I love how just about everything is storyline related and realistic and also every modeling is Awesome ❤ Very Amazing
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 ☺️
I'm interested in building one. Were these used in the 1980s?
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.
looking good mate excited about the extension also.
Cheers Ricky! Can’t wait to get it started!
Great job as always. You're right, there's a time for an airbrush, and a time for a traditional brush. And sometimes a combination of the two, as I'm currently doing on my Difco dump cars. I love to see weathering videos, keep them coming.
Thank you! Always enjoy the detail and weathering on your layout!
Scattered tie plates are ubiquitous along a well-maintained right-of-way.
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”
Amazing work! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching!! Love your products.
Nice MOW stuff.
Thank you!
Looking good, Paul, I enjoy your videos and have been inspired by them. I live in the UK and model BN/BNSF. Keep up the good work.
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.
Awesome job
Thank you!
Thank you!
That flat car looks really good, you've done a great job of it Paul, nice work ...cheers James 🙂👍
Thank you James! I’ve been enjoying your posts and videos.
@HartfordWhaler thank you, Paul. That's good to hear 🙂👍
That's an awesome MOW flatcar. Now I've gotta make one. First I'll have to get another Tichy Train Group 40' 50 ton model to build. I just got through painting 100 36" Walthers Proto metal wheelsets and 100 33" Walthers Proto metal wheelsets. I'd be lost without my two airbrushes. Since I model the early 1900's I just about have to build all my rolling stock from kits so I can get the proper K-brakes for that period. It's extremely hard to find RTR rolling stock for my period. Cheers from eastern TN
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!
That's an amazing maintenance car, everything looks good, 👍 very nice
Thank you! I really appreciate the compliment!
Thanks 👍 Thank you for watching!
Nice job on that flat car!
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
Wow. That supply flat car is amazing and those used ties on the end are spot on!!
Thank you! I had to have some old ties on there. Thanks for watching!
Paul, love the M.O.W train. Especially the scratch Brandt OTM Tracker.
Thank you! Yeah that one is my favorite. Appreciate you watching!
An awesome model…you did a great job on your scratch built one too
Thank you very much!
