Hi again. I've noticed that there were weight in BK car and not In TTX. Did you buy them like that ?

Thx for showing us this video! For modeling open door box cars, I relied on the roundhouse Models. And as you know, everything about those cars are pretty thick and not that realistic.

You're tagged up, dirty, grimy boxcars look fantastic! And even though you're in the primary stages of your layout build, you're further along than I am, because I'm still struggling to find an area to model either in SoCal, or the PNW, and only have about 3,5 m / 11.5 ft for a shelf layout. * subscribed * Oh, next video Ryerson Steel, and Cold Storage please, and that paper mill is very intriguing.

We need an update on progress on your main Layout!

Nice work

Great modeling ...layout and MUSIC...info on that song appreciated...great tune to listen to when working the layout.

Terrific work! You've got a great eye for detail. Question - what speaker(s) are you using in the GP40? It sounds really good, even on my laptop speakers!

Where does "Violet" come from?

What do you use for the buildings??

Thank you for the information.

Awesome modeling there! I really like this scene. You mentioned PVC board for your loading dock, where did you get it?

Kool update 😎 !!!

Great modeling....like how you went over the materials used to build structures except the overpass...did you show a build on a different video

Nice layout and great work on the scenery/buildings.

Interesting concept glueing these Aluminium supports to the walls of that structure from the inside. Great progress, love your layout(s)!

Cool video

Had looked forward to an update. Yeah!

Awesome detail. Subscribed! ✔️

Graffiti is amazing!

Fantastic work layout looks great nice update video thanks for sharing with us. Have a great rest of your day 😎🚂🫵TSM

Excellent progress, the street scene with the grubby industrial buildings looks fantastic 👍👍

Very realistic job- just love these updates. One thought for the "brick" building: you could cut holes where the "windows" got sealed up, and the laminate a second photo-wallpaper layer behind it to add some depth. Also would absolutely add the hanging warehouse door you're contemplating. Thanks for sharing- inspirational! (also: love your rolling stock- just beautiful).

I used to photograph bands and various people in the old Violet Alley track back in the 80s. There was still a track up to 7th St. then, but I'm pretty sure it had already stopped being used by then. Then I went back and took shots of whatever i could find left back around 05. The last car I remember seeing being parked in the area was a tank car on Palmetto St. S of Mateo. That was the late 80s. That area has been so gentrified now, you can't even recognize it.

I like the road... I know it's not easy to install concrete grade on a long distance like you did. It needs precision. Very realistic. Nice to see weathered cars and engines running thru. Congrats.

Love it!! Keep up the vids!! Looks great!! Great details!

Great looking layout. Your weathered cars and scenery are also really great. The yellow plugs, how did you get the red/black bus wires to stay in the holes?

Great layout plan & concept! Don't forget to add damaged Amazon cartons and debris along the Alameda Corridor route...😂 I have one question for you, though; where are the gangs and homeless encampments along the L.A. Riverbed??? 🤔😉

Hi, what you've created is very nice. I watched cars door modification very closely. I bought two Prairie Shadows cars for that purpose. Are you planing to finish the inside ? Also... Do you know what material is prototype floor made of ? Metal or wood. Keep on your good work.

How deep is your LA River? I am looking at doing a similar concrete river (not LA) and was wondering what a good depth is for these type of rivers to include the slopes and walls etc? Am looking at 75mm ? Yours looks like it may be more? Thanks

Cool idea , simple , I have few of these cars

You could wrap the dowels with brown paper for the colour.

Thanks for answering my question great 👍

Great looking paper rolls and great idea for an industry detail.

I am in the process of building my second layout. It's 16'×18' L- shaped. For the past 34 years I've worked for a printing company... I think this is a very neat idea thank you for sharing

I'm modeling HO scale paper mills. Got two of them. It's taking all the space (not that much) I have because I want it to be more accurate in size. Course I got very interested when I saw your warehouse and paper rolls online. Very realistic. I plan to buy an Aurora boxcar and leave doors open like you did. Thanks for sharing your work with us.

Seems like it would be easier just to pry the door off instead of the roof.

As another commenter said, they’re kraftboard rolls. They’re made in various lengths/sizes depending on what the customer orders. There are also different weights of kraftboard (thickness). The little labels are production labels that list all sorts of product info. The little sharpie line you made is typically a large barcode which the shippers and loaders scan for inventory purposes.

What a great idea... Surely the doors can be removed without taking the roof off seeing that you know they are only held on by those 2 plastic pins on each side of the door, just put a blade in there and lightly lever them off.. less work than trying to remove the roof and then having to fix it back on again later.

One thing on the cars I'll have to do after actually seeing the inside on the other video, I'll have to remove the weight to have the floor level where it should be. Weight will just be supplemented over the trucks out of sight.

For mine I'll need to carefully rotate the door runners so they lineup with the tracks therefore I'll opt not to use magnets most likely so that the intricate door pays don't get broken from handling. But the magnet idea is a great addition in thought which I hadn't given being I haven't started one yet.

Months ago when I got my first batch and checked one out, this is what I had planned from the start, but haven't yet started one.

Nice job, fast and easy. I wound if in Michael’s/ Hobby Lobby if the lollipop/cake pop sticks might be big enough, it not maybe use them for paper roll

That's a nice cardboard facility. I'm working on a Injection Molding plant using a old Deluxe Innovation warehouse, Walthers modern warehouse (933-4067) and Walthers Plastic pellet transfer facility (933-3081). Not to many plastic pellet covered hoppers though. Atlas has the ACF 5250,5701 and 5800 capacity cars. ScaleTrains and Rapido have the ribbed side 5850 Pullman Standard and Procor car. Walthers did offer the NSC 6224 car. The ARI 6224 Center Flow now Greenbrier, Trinity's 6241* and Greenbrier's 6250 capacity cars need to be made in model form. FreightCar America has their 5800 and 6200 car but it looks similar to a NSC 6200 car. *Trinity's 6241 is probably the most popular out there and it definitely should be made into a model.

That’s a cool modeling idea…

Nice job! Can you get the dowels in the sizes you want, or do you have to cut them to size?

Neat idea! Are the magnets maybe strong enough that you could glue them inside the box car and the door would still be held in place? That would certainly solve the visual aspect of having conceal/paint the magnets for when the door is closed.

I like the format as a complement to your longer ops vids, and this is a simple but very effective little project. I haven’t decided yet exactly what products will be fabricated in my International Paper plant so I’ll have to give this a try. Thanks!

Coolness!

👍👍👍

here's a vid of a clamp truck in action... ua-cam.com/video/nNJIBG5K3OM/v-deo.html i would LOVE to see this forklift attachment in HO scale
