Sharing my hobby of model railroading in N scale and G scale outdoors. Everything is kid friendly. I have some videos of real trains, mostly NS, but I’m not a dedicated rail fan. Most of my videos show my switching layout indoors.
Standard Elevator update, adding a couple of silos
Mainly a discussion on the unique silos that Standard Elevator had and how I tried ti capture the flavor of them.

Thom, Check out Iowa Scaled Engineering for 3-d printed grain bins. I have 3. they come in sections and you can build them as tall as you want. I have also assembled RIX grain bins. You can make them bigger by carefully bending them flatter or smaller, by bending them the other way. A hair dryer may help with the bending by softening the plastic. Don't use a heat gun 😞. Using plastic pipe and laminating stuff to the outside is also a good way to shape a silo. Seems to me that you could take some Evergreen standing seam roofing of the appropriate seam width and cut strips the right height, laminate them to the right diameter plastic pipe, putting a strip of styrene 0.010"x 0.060" styrene strip on edge around the top of each strip to give you the horizontal seams and then add the vertical seams using the standing ribs that come with the roofing, cut lengthwise to match the width of the strips, and gluing them into the slots in the roofing strips. Boy was that wordy 🙂, fiddly too. From your opening photo one of the silos looks like it's 2 sections higher than the other 2. 10' high by 5' wide looks about right. That would make each section 3/4" tall by 3/8" wide. The tall silo has 10 sections and the other 2 have 8 sections. That would make the tall one 100' high and the other two 80' high. Does that sound about right? Going be an interesting build. I look forward to the next update. Stay safe. Fred
@@fredgemmill617 Hi Fred. Your standing seam roofing idea sounds very difficult. Still, a package of that is pretty inexpensive to play with and I still have some PVC, so maybe I’ll give it a shot. What I’m doing will be more true than the metal silos but still not accurate. Thanks for the tip on Iowa Scaled Engineering. Leave it to Iowa to make accurate models of grain elevators! I will check them out. Into the 40’s here a couple of days and then back into the deep freeze. Last winter was mild by Kentucky standards, this one is not starting out to be since we’re only 1 month in. Enjoy the rest of your week and stay safe!
Hi Thom, Thanks for sharing those websites. I will also be checking them out. Great idea using PVC pipe! Model railroaders are a creative bunch…. Warming up here for a few days and then into the deep freeze. Stay safe Scott
@@kahunatiki6498 Hi Scott. Your weather sounds like ours. A couple of days in the 40’s and the hammer drops Monday. I’ll be traveling next week, too. My favorite railfan place, Princeton, but it will be getting dark at 5:00 over there. Have to figure out something to do in the hotel. Enjoy the rest of your week and stay safe!
Definitely like the pvc pipe representation. Nice review on how to explore multiple options. Also thanks for the different sites I was unaware of them
@@frantesorero I guess with the fall off of paper magazines, I don’t see ads for new stuff like I used to. That Steel Mill site has tons of stuff. Mostly HO and O scale, but hopefully they will expand some. I may use these as stand-ins and try to do a better job of replicating the real ones in the photo at some point. Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend even though you are living a perpetual weekend now! 😁
I like the use of the PVC pipe. Gives the silos the right diameter and height. Great work!! You stay safe as well - Larry.
@@harperlarry49 Thanks Larry. I may get a wild hair and try to make a better representation of them in the future using the PVC as the base again. Need to try to figure out a way to do it without trying to glue on 100+ individual pieces and keep everything lined up!🤔 Thanks for watching. Stay safe!
Hi Thom , looks like a good idea. How big are your PVC pipes. Yes you do have to research a lot to get everything right. Thanks for the update. Have a good week. 😎😎 👍
@@tommynorwood5184 Hi Tommy. The pvc pipe is 2” in diameter. Our local Lowe’s sells short pieces so I didn’t have to buy a 10 foot piece. I guess that would make it around 26-27 feet in diameter in real life. I have no way of knowing what they actually were, so I just try to make it look right to my eye. Warming up for a couple of days before back into the deep freeze next week. Enjoy the rest of your week and stay safe!
Southern Tile makes 3D printed steel plate bin silos. Might shoot him an email?
Very cool.
How the heck is something so small getting so much traction?!?
@@monotheis6889 the brass rails aren’t the smoothest, not like indoor railroads. It also has an onboard battery which adds some weight. Still, with this set up I’m limited to about 2” of snow. Thanks for watching!
I'm in the process of figuring out my next N scale MRR. It will most likely be a switching MRR and I find this educational and the current format helps me design my track plan. I like what you're currently doing. Thank you.
@@Norseman68 Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you find the videos entertaining and useful. Have a great week and stay safe!
I really enjoy the way you do things and have been inspired to do the same when my new layout gets built
@@ketchy9 Thank you for your input. I’m not going to change anything, no worries. And thank you for the compliment. Have a great week and stay safe!
Honey I shrunk the kids ❤ lol
That kind of snow in real life here and they would just decide not to bother at all and stay indoors. Great action.
All melting away now, Ed. Hopefully I’ll get another shot before the end of winter. Stay safe!
This is my type of fun right here!!!!
How fun. Usually you see set ups like this in the cellar of a house not outside.
@@wandagottselig1522 Garden railroads are not the most popular aspect of the model railroading hobby, but there are plenty around. Glad you enjoyed the video.
@thomplacier677 Still fun. Thanks.
It looks so tranquil like an actual small town. Right now I see you have more snow than over half of Wisconsin does. Watched a few other people from Southern areas trying to clear snow both on roads and railroads. You need to harness the force of animal tails. Stay warm and watch out for the ice
@@paulbergen9114 my back steps were hazardous this morning. Snow and the ice in the roof have clogged the gutters and it’s running over the edge dripping on my steps. Not a problem yesterday when it was liquid but it was ice this morning. I threw an old towel over it before going to bed to give me a little traction. Just hope the weight of this stuff doesn’t pull the gutters off when it breaks loose. Mote thawing today, really cold for a couple of days ( below 10 degrees at night, and then warming up for the next weekend. If the forecast holds, it will be gone except for the piles snow and ice. No dog walks for the foreseeable future. We had a big derailment on NS a couple of days ago just north of me. Line was closed a couple of days. Empty ethanol train by the few pictures I saw, haven’t heard a cause. Yesterday would have been a good day to be by the tracks, lots of trains when the line opened back up. Have a great Sunday and stay safe!
Thom, Keep them just the way they are. Fred

Hi Thom, great action again. Wise words on the melanoma, I usually try to avoid direct sunlight myself since I burn pretty easily but checking up never hurts. As for the question, I like it just as it is and like you said, your railroad and your rules. It's quite relaxing and educational to watch videos on switching or building stuff, only problem here is that I usually forget to get me some donuts before I watch them. Still, it''s a hobby and we should be thankful when people put out videos we like. I've seen complete wars being fought over videos of the hobby because people thought they had the best channel. Just my two cents though 😄
@@edgein7892 Thanks for your input , Ed. You need to work on improving your memory, donuts are important when enjoying my videos. I appreciate your feedback on my videos and enjoy conversing with you. I’ve made a lot of virtual friends through this channel, including you. Thanks! I hope your weekend is going well. Stay safe!
@@thomplacier677 Well, we had a whole half inch of snow yesterday and it was gone two hours later. The frost is quite tricky though here at the moment. One moment drizzle and the next your car locks are frozen solid. But hey, that's winter for you, if we had snow here like you have all trains would come to a halt. Mostly electric but it's a great sight in the dark to see them go by as ice blasts from the overhead wires in huge flashes of light. Have a great weekend 😄
You do a fantastic job, my friend, and I wouldn't change a thing! Of course, you're aware of the old modeler's adage, "My railroad, my rules." Well, the same applies to UA-cam channels! It's why we're all here, and we appreciate the educational service you provide, especially me, being a green horn! I need all the advice on operations that I can get! Lol!
@@mustachemike802 Hi Mike. I am not a railroader by profession and not an expert by any means. When I don’t know something, I ask and if an answer isn’t available, I just do it the way I think it should be done. What I’m trying to say is that I don’t intend to be educational, but if you learn something from my channel while I’m having fun, that’s great. I hope your weekend is going well. Stay safe!
@thomplacier677 Well, we'll just say you give me a better idea... Lol! Keep having that fun, my friend!
Thom, I have mentioned before that your switching operations are by far the most interesting, educational and entertaining on UA-cam. Your narration of each step of the realistic operations sessions is what I enjoy the most. Building the Yard was an important addition to your fantastic shelf layout. Thanks for doing what you do - it's awesome. Rich
@@richgreene7043 Hello Rich. Well, if I don’t hurt myself trying to break up this ice, you’ll continue to see videos like this. I appreciate your long-time support and look forward to your comments. I hope the weather is good where you are. The sun is out today and while we are still a little below freezing, it’s really helping with the melting. I work awhile and take a break. Have a great weekend and stay safe!
Unless you want to change, I like the videos the way you have been doing them. SoCal Scale Models does his in a similar fashion and I enjoy his as well. But, like you say, it's your RR and your videos so keep doing whatever you enjoy doing. Stay warm and home if you can.
@@genej43 Hi Gene. I am not going to change the way I run the railroad and based on feedback I’m getting, nothing else will change. I’m glad you enjoy it. Bright and sunny today, still cold but thawing a little. It’s very welcome! Stay safe!

@@CHOPZ-Bricks Thanks for the feedback. I’m not planning on changing anything. Have a great weekend and stay safe, my friend.
Hi Thom, another enjoyable ops session kept up the good work. I do like the way you things if I didn’t I wouldn’t watch. I watch every video you post and I enjoy them. We got a little snow last night. Looks like the garden railroad is out of business. Thanks for sharing. Have a good weekend. 😎😎 👍
@@tommynorwood5184 Thank you for your continued support Tommy. The comments have been overwhelmingly positive to stay the course. We got 2-3” yesterday but the sun is out and melting some today. It will take a lot to get the garden railroad able to run. I’m relaxing right now after trying to break up some of this ice on the driveway. Have a great weekend and stay safe!
Thom, I love your format, I find that videos much longer than 25 minutes loose my interest. Videos that explain what is happening with Voice, text, or train coms I like best. Some of my favorite creators in this subject are (not in order) Des Moines Transfer RR, So Cal Scale Models, Chicago Crossing Model RR. I have others for how to do things and for ideas. Mahalo
@@petermenningen338 Hi Peter. Thank you for letting me know the types of videos that you enjoy. I agree that they all produce very good videos. I hope the new year is finding you happy and safe!

@@robtman9199 Thanks for watching and commenting. I tend to not comment on a lot of videos unless I feel like I have something to say. Boomer would probably get tired of me telling him what a great modeler he is, for example.😁 Have a great weekend and stay safe!
I'm enjoying the way you make your videos. They're giving me ideas for my own N scale switching layout. I model the WP in the early70s to early 80s because I grew up seeing it back then and I love a train with a caboose and I'm a big EMD fan.
@@JDsHouseofHobbies Thanks for your nice comments and feedback. I’m glad to provide some small inspiration to you while you build and operate your layout. They say most people model what they remember growing up and you and I are in that boat. Have a great weekend and stay safe!

Good morning Thom, You can keep doing your videos the way you are. There are times where my eyes start to glaze over, but that happens with all kinds of videos and TV so it's not your content. Your right about the ads. really annoying first thing and I always hit the skip button when it comes up. I enjoy watching how a train is put together as well as delivering the cars. A new car question, is it possible to buy more modern cars, caboose or otherwise without the graffiti? The idea being that in your world it just didn't happen. I remember the issue making the news quite often and then the RR's made a collective bargain or request that the vandals leave the reporting marks being the RR name and car numbers clear and the RR's wouldn't go after them. Around 3" here also. Have a great weekend.
@@jackheninger5471 Hi Jack. My wife almost dozed off watching one of my videos do you’re in good company!😁 And it was the one where I talked about tearing it down to build a new layout at some point in the future and if anything would get her attention, that would be it! You can still buy more stuff without graffiti than with graffiti, so what you’re asking is possible. 10 years from now that may not be the case, but it is now. Thanks for your input on the videos. If I start trying to please everyone, it would be impossible. Have a great weekend and stay safe. We’re thawing out a little today and tomorrow.
Great video Thom! I love your format and am always looking forward to your videos. My layout is set around the same time as yours and is heavily influenced by the Chessie/B&O in Southern Illinois. I also agree that the length is perfect for viewing. Also, shout-out to the train room sign. My daughter bought the same for me for Christmas!
@@derekarcher1992 Thank you, Derek. That’s a great area to model. Southern Illinois had/has a lot of coal. The B&O line down to the river (Shawneetown?) always intrigued me. My daughter got that sign for me, too. I appreciate your feedback and comments. Have a great weekend and stay safe!

Good on the no graffiti, I can’t take it either as I model 68-72
@@thecincinnatikid6227 👍🏻, that’s a great time to model. Still a lot of different railroads to model before the mega-mergers began!
Good Saturday Morning Thom, Here in Western Pennsylvania we got 3 inches of snow over night. We have light flurries now, so hopefully the storm has for the most part passed us by. I feel the same way Thom, we grew up in an era when a train wasn't considered a train until it had a caboose. Second for me personally graffiti is vandalism, you're painting whatever on someone else's property. I've heard some people try to justify graffiti by saying things like if the railroad cared, they stop folks from doing it or they've repaint the equipment. The railroads and shippers who own freight cars cannot watch every piece of equipment they own and secondly, to repaint every piece of rolling stock that has graffiti on it would be an enormous cost. Then add on top of that the down time of that piece of equipment, while it's being repainted. As for your question Thom, I would not change a thing. The only thing I ask is try to keep the videos around 15 minutes. I follow one modeler here on UA-cam and he does some fantastic modeling, but his videos are always 30 minutes or longer and sometimes it takes me a couple of days to finish his videos because of the limited time I have available for watching videos. As a follow up to your melanoma comment, my dad also had melanoma issues and visited his dermatologist yearly. His melanoma was mostly because of his R/C Airplane hobby and not wearing a hat with a brim when he was younger. But something I'd also like to mention, guys if you're over 50, get a colonoscopy. My dad and I both grow polyps and these polyps can turn cancerous. Believe me, I have to be checked every 5 years and the worst part of the procedure is the prep. While they are doing the procedure you're out cold and not feeling anything. Sadly polyps or melanoma did not get my dad, Biliary cancer, also known as cholangiocarcinoma sadly took him in 2021. So guys, don't be afraid to visit your PCP on a regular basis, early detection can save your life. Cheers, Rich S.
@@RWSBaden Good morning, Rich. Thank you for your tips on taking care of yourself. I have had colonoscopies at 50 and 60 and another small check a couple of years ago when I found blood in my stool. Turns out I have internal hemorrhoids that don’t hurt at all but occasionally will bleed. Taking fiber every day has helped a lot but still occasionally have a day or 2 of bleeding. My Dad and brother both have had prostate cancer so I’m aware of what’s going on down there. Thanks for your feedback on my operations and length of videos. I feel the same about long videos, so I will try to keep it short. Snow is over ( we got 2-3” yesterday) and may touch 40 tomorrow before dipping back down for a couple of cold days. Next weekend may actually have back to back 40+ days so we’ll get a lot of melting then. Don’t work too hard and stay safe!
Great video while we're waiting for snow.

what is the grassy track with the old cars for . is that for a museum
@@dennistatro2375 Good morning, Dennis. That represents the ‘boneyard’ tracks in Chillicothe. The car shops in Chillicothe reworked and repaired/repainted cars and also scrapped cars. There were a dozen or so weed/choked tracks there filled with old B&O equipment, including cabooses. For me, it’s just a scenic element and was never intended to be operable. That was the last piece of flex track that I had. I didn’t want to actually cut a switch into the mainline for a track that wouldn’t operate, so I just left it as is. If I can scrounge up another piece of track, I may extend it and curve it so it looks like it connected to the main. When CSX abandoned the yard, the Ohio Railway Museum did consider moving there but it never happened obviously. Thanks for watching and your question. Have a great weekend and stay safe!
Good morning Thom, First in today (and I like seeing the intro again!) Regarding your question, I personally thoroughly enjoy your session progression, and everything you currently do regarding operations. You are correct, you are probably the only UA-camr I know that does it that way, making it your niche. I wouldn’t change a thing. But then again I’m on the oldie moldy….😂 We finally received about 3 inches of snow yesterday with days in the 20s and nights in the teens so typical January weather here. I’m deep into completing the finish details of my trolley poles for my Shops area and hope to start stringing catenary next weekend. Glad everything went well at the dermatologist and thank you for your suggestion. Enjoy your weekend and stay safe . Scott
@@kahunatiki6498 Good morning, Scott. Thanks for watching. My wife and I watched it on our TV this morning and I wasn’t thrilled with being interrupted by an ad a few minutes in.

Great map you've got there. The old Southern line just barely exists along the East side of town. I've explored it lots with an old friend and it's quite a nice sight to see in the Spring. Unfortunately, a little past Turpins 64 Garage, it starts to fade into the ground, getting buried. I know just South of the public pool, where the small creek and sidewalk is, is where the track should've been. I've got no clue if the track is just buried underneath, or if it's been torn out. One of the teachers at our High School is a part of the town board, they say they plan to rip out the remaining track that exists and turn it into a trail.
Thanks for watching. Princeton is one of my favorite railfan spots. I’ll be happy to see the trail. Have a great day and stay safe!
