The detail in Al's models is beyond my comprehension. While I don't have a model railroad, just having one of those buildings sitting in my house to admire would be too much!
What amazing builds. Good to repurpose things instead of throwing them away. I to enjoy the builds the most but I like to run trains too. Thanks for sharing this story with us. GOD BLESS 🚂💕🚂💕🚂💕🚂💕
Thanks Toyman for introducing Steve to a lot of us especially me I found this hobby to be very fulfilling I love building scratch built structures and dioramas I’m hooked , it has brought a lot of joy to me , thanks again
@@ToyManTelevision you’re welcome ps you and your wife are hilarious you guys also do really nice work on your layout plus you have a real knack for narrating, love your channel so informative keep up the great work
It's so good to see Steve and see that he is doing well. The added pictures of Al brought back a lot of great memories from the Douglas days Thanks for putting this piece together.
This stuff is always amazing! I really got a kick out of that "Half caboose" you showed right at the beginning and the camera inside the coach was cool too! I always enjoy the fine detailed modeling even though my railroad will probably never be that detailed. I love the building and restoring of locomotives though, so I get the same satisfaction that way
When you were talking about ships you made me think of my dad he built the Cutty shark and the Constitution my brother still has both of those ships he built ❤
@@mikeymopar1171 mine got broken. I was thinking of fixing it.. but it got worse and I moved on. I had it in the attic. And when I sold the house I left it there. I wonder if it’s still there 25 years later…
It's always sad to see a layout go, but the best way is when your models can live on to bring joy to somebody else. ❤️ I'm trying to build a few garden scale models to give away, hoping to be done before Christmas. I love building and painting but don't have the space to store all of the models I want to build!
So true! I had many of these models Al built here at garagemahall but I didn’t have a plan to build anything with them. Thought about building a On30 or On3 shelf. But I’d rather build my F scale. So I gave it all to Steve. And look what he’s doing! 😊😊😊❤❤🚂🚂🚂🚀
The main route to the mango farm is under a 3 year rebuild from Bangkok. We took an alternate route today that took two and a half hours. Visiting with you folks before bed is a welcome time.
I am one of these modelers who too just like the process of building something and watching trains run through the scenes. I always say my layouts are a series of dioramas. I have also started the reduction process after twenty years in my current location, given that age is playing a part in how I enjoy, or do not enjoy some facets of the hobby. I have severely reduced my layout foot print of my current G-scale Never Done and Always Changing RR, using the re-claimed space for better visitor area viewing and more space for my modeling work bench.
😊😊 yup. I boxed up everything because I moved and had no space. Stored everything in Garagemahall. Which was a mess. Als stuff ended up there too after his divorce. So now I build my large scale railroad. Slowly. And enjoy the building.
Great vidio, love the dioramas. Thanks for the morning coffee...
Heya!
Always really nice to see Steve and his amazing work. Great!
I hope you're well 👍
Excellent video! The inside of the train shot was impressive.
@@modelrestorations hi. Thanks!

@@reddog-ex4dx he scratch built 99 o scale cars. I have about 30 of them. Beyond amazing.
Great looking Dioramas. Super cool!

What a gifted man. Incredible eye for detail. I wish I had a piece of that layout. Thanks for your videos

Yay starve I love his railroad I have missed seeing it on the channel!
Great to see again some Steve's works. It is always amazing to see how the buildings seem to flow from one to the other so naturally.
@@pbyfr his placement is superb. Balanced. Yet they feel random. Pure art.
my this a very good job on his
Amazing scratch building. 😊😊❤🚂🚀🚂🚀

Geeez. 3 years…

Great video! Would be an honor to have one of his dioramas.
Great vidio, as to that stone wall try printing and casting it into Floral Foam blocks, the detail will amaze you.Thanks for the morning coffee...
Thanks for the tip!
I live in Vernal. I'm curious on who this person is who Steve is building a wharf for.
As always, you two put on a great show!
Thanks! Yea I don’t know who they are….. not sure Steve wants to share. But I’m hoping they read the comments and respond to you! 😊😊😊😊🚂🚀
Shoee!
My dad and I built the USS Constitution as well. He insisted on doing everything the hard way. Two years to finish.
@@andyevans2336 yup. I was on it every night for over a year.
