🕺🏻ABOUT DJ: DJ is a locomotive engineer for CSX Railroad since 1999. He has built dozens of layouts, gave presentations for model railroaders, is a UA-camr, licensed drone pilot, and a great father.
Great job!!! You make it look soooo easy!!!👊🏻 But I know with time I probably can do it. Stay Safe & God Bless!!!
This was your best video yet. But first of all, thanks for the shout-out. If anybody wants good advice on how to grow their UA-cam channel - sign up for DJ's patreon. I got way more than I paid for. Been working all afternoon on the stuff he suggested. Watching the subs roll in.
Now - your video -
Love the eyeball advice - sometimes true scale measurements don't translate to the layout.
Love the repurposing of a kit. It's fun to just make stuff work.
Brick weathering was right on point.
I'm with you all the way on the Plastic Weld - But now I buy a can of MEK substitute from the hardware store (or Amazon) - a quart for $13, or a gallon for $24 - and use a pipette to refill the small Plastruct bottle - and I always kick a little fan on when I get this stuff out.
I feel like I made a friend today too. Thanks!
It was great meeting you and I see an amazing future for you and your channel!!
very dood ideas for sure , thankyou
Glad you like them!
Very nice piece DJ. The way fact that you conclude so much about a single piece before putting it together is incredible, and you can see it in the finished pieces. The brick mortar is excellent, and the new flashing around the vent stack in the roof is 👌 touch. I may have added a very light blackwash to everything at the end, but nonetheless, excellent work.
Thank you very much!
JTT Scenery makes some good scratch building styrene sheets too and it's less expensive. Their brick sheets are really nice and easy to use.
Good to know!
Enjoy your content. Would strongly advise getting an engineers squaire
noted!
Excellent video with widespread application. BTW, don't overlook the possibilities of cement block. The prototype might also have blocked the arched doorways and the windows. Not as attractive as brick, but quick, cheap and effective.
Great ideas, I will be looking at older models/buildings a lot differently now.
Go for it!
Excellent kit bash video…would’ve not thought of doing something like that
Another great modification of a European building and updating to a modern era! Very cool.
This looks really good! Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching
Great slow easy to follow. Thanks!
Great content. Thanks for the video.
DJ please keep showing how to, weather and change if you like box kits.Hope you and your family and subscribers are doing well.Happy MR,🚅☮
You got it
A hint for your viewers Check Craig's List garage sales that have craft or arts and crafts in the description. I have picked up cutting mats for $1-3 almost new Slightly worn cutting boards for $1 open acrylic paints and brushes really cheap.
100% agree
Great video. That thing is a masterpiece. Looks like so many buildings I see around Pittsburgh. I’ll send some pictures of the building at my new job. You might want to drone it.
Cool, hope to talk soon, been busy as heck here.
Looks great, mortar looks really good.I know what you mean on the rustoleum paint.don't care for it, big waste of money!
Exactly!
Hi ya DJ. Another great video. I’m sure it will inspire others to rework some of those.kits they have laying around. Thanks. See ya.
I hope so!
There are always different ways and ideas 💡 to make a model work for your needs. Nice job 👍 DJ 😁 !
Thanks! 👍
Man,when do you find the time to drive the train in real life? You make me want to take up another hobby I can’t afford!
Lol, they killed me last week on the yard job. This was only a few days to build and film.
I would love to build my own buildings but I am way to scared I'm going to mess it up....
how can you mess it up? This is the reason why I make these videos. I'm not special, I mess up things, but then either redo it, or accept it. But not doing something out of fear is the worst issue with this hobby.ua-cam.com/video/5T9sZtV0BDM/v-deo.html
nice job that is a kit I would have passed over in the past vary nice love your channel
Thank you very much!
👍😍 Cool custom building dj
Yeah thanks
Another great video. You are very talented
Thank you so much 😀
You have given me some great ideas
I'm so glad!
👍
Question. Is there a dj from
Djtrains on rumble?
Unsure what that is, sounds violent...I'm in! Lol.
@@djstrains a UA-cam alternative.
where do you get your vehicles that dont look cheep
train shows
Now to find some near me lol
Love the mortar work!
Thanks!
Nice video, DJ! Over the years I've used a lot of Evergreen styrene for scratchbuilding and it's very good. You can save some money by buying bulk styrene sheet from plastics supply houses via Amazon. Various thicknesses are available in page-sized sheets. And I've found them to be of good quality. Cheers from Wisconsin.
Good idea!
I have a bunch of those building kits, and was trying to figure out how to make them work. Awesome idea!
Thanks for the inspiration!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Why do you hate Rustoleum (sp)?
I have wasted more money on only getting a half a can or less, before their nozzles clog. I shake and shake and shake prior. Beyond frustrated with them.
@@djstrains I always wipe the tip with a paper towel immediately after spraying. Some paints will say to turn can upside down and shoot till the spray turns clear.
Awesome 👌 my layout is going to start being built next week. I am so excited.I have learned so great ideas from you.
Wonderful!
Looks great
Thanks!
scratch building is creative , cool video thanks
Thanks for watching!
You make my day when you post. Keep up the great work
Wow, thanks
Great work and presentation;)
Thank you! Cheers!
@@djstrains no Problem just discovered you and instantly subbed:)
It would mean very much to me if you could tell me your opinion about the nostalgic stuff i make.
Anyways big Fan of your work:)
@@myinnovativeodyssey1998 The nostalgic stuff you make? I'm sorry, I ma not sure what you mean. Your channel is about cars, is that what you mean? Or talk more about older kits and real buildings?
@@djstrains i was talking about my Videos:)
Great job DJ!
Thanks!!
