    I'm deeply sad to announce the unexpected passing of my client, Mike, whom I built this container terminal & warehouse for. So, sadly, there will be no further progress on this project or any follow-up episodes. May he rest in peace.

    Attention to detail from visual to physical is totally out of this world. I keep thinking I'll see a stray dog run by.

    Nice. I will refer to this video as I am doing an N scale layout and just bought a set of deep well container cars. So next will be mijacks and loading area. Your video will help me a lot. I am in Staten Island so I do not have any actual areas like this to guide me. So I am counting on things I see on UA-cam. I can only hope mine looks half as good as yours.

    Very, very nice work. That said, I must confess the terminal building extensive weathering sometimes causes my mind to think it suffered a fire. Regardless, you do great work. Thanks for sharing.

    • @InterurbanEra

      Hahaha, that's pretty funny. Honestly it was just matching the extreme wear of the sooty, rusty warehouse as it was back in the 2000's before it was painted and repaired sometime in the 2010's.

    Really fine work on the scenery and structures. I did the layout design, which was featured in Kalmbach's Model Railroad Planning 2015. That article includes some earlier photos of the layout as it was being installed. Benchwork and track were built and installed by Rick Fortin.

    • @InterurbanEra
      @InterurbanEra  3 роки тому +3

      Why thank you! It's such a fun trackplan to run on. The serpentine hidden staging is quite a daring layout design element, but it definitely works well. More scenery progress to come soon.

    What container crane did you use?

    • @InterurbanEra
      @InterurbanEra  Рік тому

      Walthers Mijack Crane Part # 933-3122. Be sure to paint the entire model before assembly, then weather it. Too many people just build it w/o painting and it looks much too plasticky.

      Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. It hit so hard because it was so unexpected. Hopefully a Future client will see this and want a container terminal of their very own like this someday.

      It's been a while since I was placing trains on the layout, but I think 8+ well cars deep so it'll photograph nicely.
