- Watch as I build the Wilfrid J. Brambell kit from Fine Scale Miniatures. Build includes the diorama and installation on the layout. This kit was released in 1982. This is the rarest of the FSM kits, with only 430 made.
Here is a link to the color version of George Selios' build

I really enjoy watching your videos, I've learned some great techniques and like your comments and wit!
I’m pretty sure something like this would be a once in a lifetime build for me but I really enjoyed watching your modelling and installation. It looks awesome on your layout! Thanks for posting.
Thanks, for sure it is a once in a lifetime build for me too. I have more FSM kits in the stack, but I won't be doing this one again!
impressive impressive not going to lie it makes you want to go restore this old building for generations to see so it's not dilapidated before they get to see it love the build
Enjoying your content very much, i also enjoy the fact that you buy all your kits and supplies and not selling like other channels.
Beautiful work so realistic
Well done..... thanks for sharing
That's a really great addition to your layout. Nice work!! It has a lot of different "textures " and adds value to your railroad. Thanks.
GREAT JOB......I love the location of the scene as well as the detail you added.
this was a great build, very nice work.
Such a naturalistic diorama from a true master model maker. Can't wait for the next video 😍.
Thanks, unfortunately, the builds are becoming more complicated so I won't be uploading videos as frequently
Looks like you had some fun.......
Great job
Outstanding work. Its a joy to see a true artist at work
I used to use wood diamond brand matches sticks to give my old wooden houses look realistic to scale of old wooden structure's...really helped by burning the marches...
Great build video and the structure looks terrific. Gotta love FSM kits but really like the improvements/changes you added. Thanks for sharing -Rick
As always... BRILLIANT
I always get excited when you put up a new video. Very impressive work and that is an insane amount of awesome detail parts. As far as putting resin into the low area, I would think you could thin some silicone with a solvent and brush apply it to the back side in a couple of coats and then try a very thin layer of resin, if it did leak, it would eventually seal and then a 2nd pour to get the depth you wanted. As far as the bridge track goes, the ties are full thickness and the spacing is closer too. Regular flex track the depth of the ties are not to scale. Just something to keep in mind for the future. Micro Engineering makes good bridge flex track and Central Valley does as well. Thanks for sharing this amazing build with us all. Cheers Rob
I have read all the below comments and there is nothing left to say except I concur and thank you.
Watching the black and white footage at 240p, makes it look far more realistic.
great video - thanks for sharing!
Great to see another video. I kinda missed the Chopin 😊.
Thanks, me too. Unfortunately, even classical music is copyrighted and therefore can cause ads to appear (and oddly, my videos with classical music are blocked in Denmark). I didn't want ads in this video, so I used crappy royalty-free music so there should not be any ads. I will mix things up in future videos - some good copyrighted music and some crappy free music.
Love watching your videos. You have a good eye for "aging" a model and doing a little "kit bash" to achieve some fantastic results. I like yours much better than Selios's model.
I know the charm of a lot of craftsman kits is the run down decrepit state of the structures. Plus there is a reason that expressions such as wrong side of the tracks exist. In the steam era anything along side or near the tracks were going to be pretty dirty. That's understandable. I remember coal furnaces. Not the cleanest method of heating. But one would think that from most structures built for model railroads of any era that there existed no cans of paint any where on the face of the earth. Just once I'd like to see a kit build that features chipped faded paint on most of the structure with a crew of painters hard at work slapping a new coat of paint on.
Nice build by the way. 👍
As a side note. When glueing the corners one why to get them square is to get a piece of extruded aluminum angle from the hardware or home improvement store. The stuff's really rigid* yet cuts easily with a hacksaw. Clean up with a file and you have a nice little angle plate. A two foot piece would be more than enough any body.
*it comes in two different thicknesses. 1/16th and 1/8th. Avoid the 1/16th. When I was still working I worked for a company that manufactures and repairs large centrifuges. If we had a customer send in a machine built by somebody else we often would need to measure and do drawings. The aluminum angle worked great for establishing the end surfaces to measure from.
Great job...
Great stuff, thanks
Have marked your channel the top UA-cam channel for tackling craftsman kits (generic description) with such skill and knowledge. In fact, I have watched each video that you have listed at least twice over. Just can't get enough and delighted to that you have introduced some more new material.
I feel and have felt inspired by what you do, warts an' all, so much so I purchased a George Selios kit myself, The Bartholow Coal Company, which is in the process of being constructed. Any advice?
Thank you for sharing and all the best to you from Scotland. Mike
Thanks for the kind words. I do have some advice: 1. Buy some extra scale lumber. 2: Take your time. Don't rush to finish it. If something isn't going right, don't be afraid to just take a break. For the scratch build sections, don't be afraid to just start over if it is not going well. In this kit, I should have started over on the chain-link fence. 3. Don't be afraid to deviate from the instructions if you think they will not work for you. I think these companies basically write the instructions off of one single practice build, so they don't always come up with the best way to do something. 4. Enjoy the build process and take full advantage of everything the kit gives you. Try to avoid short cuts or leaving pieces off as I think you will regret it later. I think in Bartholow, I skipped one of the small shacks, but then went back later and built it when I felt better about my skills.
@@asdasx392Thank you for the advice which will hopefully keep me on the straight and narrow. I have plenty of Basswood and Balsa, even some white maple planking. Since discovering another channel, Darryl Hoffman, he as put me in mind to do some scratch building and, although the 4 individual videos are long and not HO gauge (might be O gauge), the concept is there to follow. His last video was about a year ago and, with demand, maybe he will come out of retirement and show more. Check it out if you have time, (since the Covid lockdown, that's all I have these days, time). So, thank you and if I run into any issues, you are the go to for advice, if you are available. Many thanks, Mike
Trabalho magnífico Parabéns. ..
You'll have to get marine ply, it's water resistant and has more layers, hence more expensive!, but it doesn't warp. Great modeling BTW.
Or the Birch plywood you can get at some of the big box stores. It's not Baltic but it's better than 1/2. The other option would be foam board.
I THINK Wilfred Brambell was the Grandfather of Paul McCartney in "Hard Day's Night" from 1964.
I am not sure if you resolved your "illusion of a broken window" but if you go to Daryll Huffman, Scratchbuilding in Wood Part 3 of 4, time stamp 17.35 it shows how to do it. Hope it h helps if not resolved. Mike
Beautiful addition to your layout. Always learn something when I watch your videos. Where do you get your scale lumber? Is that an L&N boxcar I see? Hopefully they have it in N scale. Thanks for sharing. Dave
Thanks Dave. I think my lumber comes from handlaidtrack.com (aka fast-tracks.net) which is based on Canada but I am sure there are other sources. The blue boxcar is L&N from Bowser.
Hey Dave. Although I live in Scotland, covered in trees, I purchased recently from North Eastern Scale Lumber (www.northeasternscalelumber.com) and found their products, high in quality and style. Unfortunately, what they produce is unavailable in the UK, unless you want plastic, and is as good as I have found anywhere. So, if you haven't tried them, give them a whirl and see how you get on. All the best, stay safe and love your channel. Mike
One detail you could have added over the workbench is a vintage pinup calender
Thanks you for all the comments. This is an idea worth stealing.
As previously mentioned, I love your channel and the builds you undertake. I know that this is a big ask but wondered if you could devote a YT video to your own method of painting white cast metal and resin accessories which you incorporate into your builds. In a most recent video you did happen to say that painting the white cast metal components took about a week. If your previous videos are anything to go by I think you would have a popular topic if you were o undertake this. Best regards, Mike
Thanks for the comments. The problem is that it is very difficult to film that kind of close up detail work. However, I did just buy a new tripod to try just for that. I can try that in my next build but it might be a few months. So hopefully, I will eventually post a video of that.
Would be brilliant if you could. In the meantime I will practise myself and wait till you yourself practise - me practising, whilst using the various acrylic and enamel paints and multiple washes and stains, while you practise using your new tripod and camera settings. Seems like a mutual plan. Thanks and will await that day. Cheers Mike 👍
Your voice sounds familiar do you do candle videos also
no, just these
nice
How come it's named after the old boy in 'Steptoe & Son' (Old Custard Locks)? Have you another engine called 'Harry H Corbett' (Harold Steptoe)? Just an idea...
Wow, I had no idea where the name came from, or why it was spelled so weird. Thanks for that tidbit.
@@asdasx392 Of course there was an even more deserving actor by the name of Wilfred Hyde-White, an 'unworldly' gentlemanly sort who appeared as the head of the British Council in Vienna after WWII in the film "The Third Man", as well as a score of others including "Kind Hearts And Coronets" with the late Alec Guinness.
@@asdasx392 Most people remember Brambell from his role as Paul's grandfather in "A Hard Day's Night". The "clean" old man joke was a play on a recurring line on Steptoe....
89th!🐸
The two Jordans alone are worth close to $500 🤣
Jaime, I think you mean $50.
