Ya, he does some funky stuff that us🦖🦖🦕🦕🦖🦖 don't understand!!! On another note, you had commented to Railfan Man (Jason) that you hope to see him at Springfield show. I told Jason that Wade and Adam are going too. Can you get them together? Jason is looking forward to meeting them!..LOL Earl. I'll be up at the club on Sunday😀

@ you bet I’ll introduce them to some cool cats there

Oh ya Happy New Years to you and your family enjoy 2025 running 😎🚂

Thanks for sharing Earl. I'm almost tempted to add resistance to my decoder buddy's. You can get them with custom resistors to suit your lighting preference. Cheers

Thanks Frank, and Merry Christmas to you and family! I'll be posting part #2 shortly. I hope you were able to pick up a sound engine for X-mas🙏🙏🙏 Cheers 🍻 Earl 🦖

Thanks for the love Thomas!! You and yours have a Merry Christmas!! Earl 🦖

David, thanks for the insight. I struggle with the notion of this being a prototypical build. I'm a novice at best when it comes to the details and I probably don't even have the best platform for 4713. I'm just working with what I got on hand. I know it won't be right to others but in my minds eye it will pass. I still have time, no irreversible damage done yet and I'll dig a little bit more. I don't want it to turn into a laborious endeavor. Cheers 🍻 Earl 🦖

Ya thanks Mike, my thoughts exactly. I do want to tackle this myself, but having guys like like you, Wade and Matt watching me🧐is a little intimidating!! 🦖

Ya, I'm going to work with 4775 and hopefully leave 4789 alone. If all works well it will be a spare body and the chassis with the motor. I wouldn't mind doing a trade!!🤟 🦖

what's a cannon cab? I thought about finding a nosed cab for the genesis engine, but I want to use what I got...maybe Earl

Right on Matt!, Thanks for the advice. I think I have some fiber optic but it might be 3mm I have problems with the chassis too, I explain it part #2. Earl

OH, I looked up TMR- lots of stuff there. It's like a one-stop-shop eh! 🦖

Only the wife makes me busy😂

Thanks a lot Patroy 😂, love them trains😅

Thanks Mike!, I got to adjust a few of them!!.. LOL Earl

HUH,,, I guess I never mentioned it eh.. cat's all my life..lol. This one, he is a character alright!! Earl🦖

Never thought of that but this is right in between the stairs. It's a bad spot altogether. After you comment I thought what if I split the bridge in 1/2 with a set of hinges but still not good. But thanks for the comment! Cheers! Earl

OK, you sanded it.... please fill me in on exactly what you did to get that texture. I want to use it on my roofs!

Bottle half full- Bottle half empty. LOL Ya got to keep going for sure!

@@mattw9667 woah, woah woah ... slow down there partner!! I was just trying to get the building made!! Didn't; think it would be a weathering project! So when I went to paint these I used Tamiya white primer spray. I then did the grey airbrushing. the first airbrushing was a disaster! Spitting and blotchy. Wade told me it was my needle setting and to not stop for long as it mucks up the aperture. second layer or touch-ups went on great! I did get some overspray on the rooftops. when I went to airbrush the Flat Black, I only had enough for the 1 roof, so I used Rustoleum FB primer. I t was all I had. I think it reacted with the Tamiya primer , maybe also the airbrush paint. even after sanding it still orange peeled the second time. I won't ever use Rustoleum again, even if it says "bonds to plastic"!!! Did you watch my Smokey and bandit build #1 the Snowman KW? I used all Rustoleum and when I applied the clear it went to crap!! " Earl

It is insane!! Besides that, Adam is so OCD on track laying, we'd argue for hours while doing it!!! LOL gota love the kids!

My arm is usually his scratching post / Velcro tool!!!. I have not heard this cat growl or hiss yet, all he does is purrs while fighting with me!! He loves aggression!!!

Thanks Mike! some of those shelving's up above are laminated pine planks I saved from over 17 years!...LOL I don't hoard nothin, there a use for that!!! Cheers Buddy! Earl🦖

LOL Shawn!!😝 Better have subbed too!! Cheers🍻 Earl🦖

@@earlwidmeyer2654 I did don’t worry!😉

Hey thanks for checking it out! I like the diversity of it too even if it's not laid out for good scenery. Mabey another layout, another time Eh? Cheers🍻 Earl🦖

Ya it's coming along !! Earl

Yep...I thought you'd like that. Guys at the club find it funny too. There is still a handful of guys at work that know the name and still call me by it. It screw with other worker cause they say"I thought his name was Corey?"...LOL. I shortened pt#2 realized 40 min of just looking at a layout is kinda boring. Pt#3 coming soon Cheers Jason 🍻 Earl 🦖

Oh that will be cool. I still am contemplating adding a lager oil facility at the west end!! I have Pt#3 still to come. Cheers! Earl

Thanks Frank, I did a comment on your last video for the DCC sound engines, go read it!!! Earl

I've just started to use an airbrush, like first time ever! I'll be doing some weathering trials and see how that goes, not ready for graffiti, but there are some cool decal sets that is for sure. Thanks for the comment!! Cheers🍻 Earl

Thanks Mike 😊. As I said in pt#1, we didn't plan properly for roads or space just lay track...We did the same thing on the first layout. LOL😂 Cheers 🍻 Earl

appreciated!!!

Thanks, it will be fun to get the little details done and added!

Thanks Jason!... LOL the wife said I couldn't buy it unless I paint the Livingroom. So I was accepting of the fact that I was never going to get it. But then a week later , Adam tells me he bought it because they were disappearing and knew I really wanted it. Now I have to paint the Livingroom!!! I'll have stretching her legs soon! Cheers 🍻 Earl

@earlwidmeyer2654 There's always a catch right🤷‍♂️😅 Well at least you have the locomotive in your possession and will be running it 🤘🤙😎 Also the deal was from what I understand that yes you have to paint the living room, however you didn't mention a timeline it had to be done🤔 So with that being said you at least have until it starts warning up as you don't want to paint in the cold weather as I would think you would want the house to air out thus in order to do that you need to have the windows opened in your house correct 🤔🤷‍♂️😅😅😅😅 Just a thought😅😅 Have a good day and stay safe. - Jason

@@jaybird111207 But the deadline was Christmas!!😆🤣😪

Thanks Andrew!! We all are doing our part! Earl

Hey Clayton, Just saw your comment and thanks!! Not too many commented on the case but it was very easy to make. Just have to have a couple simple tools, table saw, miter saw, sandpaper, glue, nails and paint. I used 3mm thick (1/8") plexiglass for the panels. it is the same thickness as most sawblades. both the top and bottom are the same. measure a piece of wood to size and put a 3mm deep cut around the perimeter. then cut trim pcs of wood to fit around the perimeter and nail in place. Voila- you have a groove for the plexiglass that is 3mm wide x 3mm deep. make 4 corner posts and run a grove on 2 sides adjacent to each other. there you have a 4 post display case and just cut the plexiglass to size on the table saw. Ya I thought of lighting it too but I didn't get that far. Cheers ! Earl

I'll pat myself on the back!!....LOL

Thanks a lot Frank!! I got a couple more vids to post. A long way away from scenery though!! LOL Cheers! Earl

Thanks for the love Jason. I have a couple more vids to post, 1 will be more in-depth of our vision for the layout Cheers! Earl

@earlwidmeyer2654 nice and look forward to it!

Thanks Jason,. It was was fun hanging out with my boys, doing some railfanning and picture taking! Earl
