- Lots of stuff wrapped up this month for this update. The heater for the garage is finally installed and sealed up, ballast has been laid in for the newest yard module section, and prep work is done for further scenery. Inside a the bench, I got a lot of new cars wrapped up, and even a new locomotive!
Mainline Hobby Supply in Blue Ridge Summit is a very good hobby shop, and if you are in Ohio it may even be on your route to Timonium. That show is heaven for model railroaders. Thanks for the videos. They've been just what I needed to get back into my N scale trains after a neighbor's fire caused enough smoke and water damage that I had to scrap my 19x20 N scale layout.
Mainline is really the only good shop left in PA. Dan they have one long wall of all detail parts you can think of.
About an hour or so away is White Rose in York, Pa. They are pretty decent too. Large selection of cars and power.
Wow! That's a huge amount of work you put into those cars and locos but it really paid off. They look terrific. The W&LE units look super-realistic with the hand painted yellow faded scripts and stripes. You've got so much patience and skill to complete that work to perfection - such inspirational work. Thanks so much for sharing!
Coming over from the Gavin Faivre channel. Nice to be here. Cheers!
Greetings from Clarksville, TN. If anyone can 'fix' that Dash-9, it's you.
Unfortunately, people who aren't even model railroaders buy up all of the models when they're released just to resell them online for an outrageous price gouge.
Awesome video as always. 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃
10:22 Leave the dent as it since I seen older hoppers with damaged ladders.
Add a dehumidifier to your train room and it will also help with your shrinking issue.
Great stuff.
Mr Dan, In regards to saving cash on ballast. Harbor freight sells 20lb boxes of crush walnut shells under blasting media for 25 bucks. It’s same material and grade as woodland scenics only thing is it’s brown. There has to be a way to color match it or dye it.
Hobby Express in Cranberry township is the shop I prefer, good stop if you're in the Pittsburgh area.
I had a great time! Great stuff as always Dan.
Dan, What brand of cars and locomotives offers the best scale detail and quality? I have no room anymore for a layout but am considering small dioramas.
Your weathering is incredible and only looks even more realistic when you zoom in on it. Amazing!
Really nice work, all the cars and locos are very well done.
There’s a great hobby shop in Altoona called shaeffers full steam ahead and one in Scranton. The one in Scranton is called Dave’s train corner and more which is actually I. Willks barre. One of th3 best shops in PA/ upstate New York area. Mind you he is only open Saturday and Sunday until 4pm
Nice update Dan. Great weathering as always. Nice pick ups from the show. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the locomotives and rolling stock you got. - Nicholas.
Love the green hi-gon. Great work!
White Rose Hobbies in York PA. Nice selection and good service.
Have you ever go to the Springfield Massachusetts show it makes the Maryland show look like a little train show
That former AC/WC SD40 shell looked like a former MILW unit
and road number (SD40-2). I
believe it to be a U.S. built unit!
Great work on your modeling!
Incidentally, the stenciling of the lt. wt./ld. pmt. looked to be
from a 33,000 gal TP type tank
car, used for Anhydrous Ammonia or LPG service. Great
looking models!
Absolutely have to stop at hobby express in cranberry pa if your railfanning anywhere near Pittsburgh
Dan, your tag work looks very “professional” do you work on the full size models when you feel the need for some fresh air ?
Love your weathering vids, thank you
Those covered bakey power or soda hoppers produce a lot of blow back on cars coupled to them. Especially black tankers or carbon black cars. Its a cool looking affect.
See the rio grande sd40t-2 unit in Carey quite often still. Also saw a high hood gp35 W&LE 104 this spring in Carey , really cool
There’s Hobby Express in Cranberry Township, PA. Coming up on the 4-5th is the Greenberg Train & Toy Show in Monroeville, PA.
great work as always Dan. I have done a model of that SD40 ex Algoma Central painted in Wisconsin Central as 6001. Like you it had to do a lot of mods but looks like you have done more as on the loco i modeled all the roof fans were the same, no rear ditch lights and it had snow shields on both sides over the air intakes.
How do you get your acrylic paint to look so smooth using a brush?
Do you 3D print your ditch light housings and other parts, or are those available commercially?
Do you check to make sure all your locos have working DCC and sound decoders at the show? I have a friend who bought a nice loco that was a bust once he got it on his layout….😡
I have what I think a basic coupler question. I'm converting some of my older Athearn rolling stock to Kadee couplers. I just bought one of those Kadee coupler height gauges and it seems that quite often the problem is "coupler droop". Rather than put a washer on the bolster it seems to me that a shim under the shank would help right at the problem area. Am I wrong ? Does anyone produce such tiny little shims ? The thickness of the washers looks great, but I of course I need straight and not circles.
Seen those RGLX gondolas go to waupaca wisconsin
Csx is awesome new piant scheme dan I love them
Arizona rock and mineral ballast looks SO much better than woodland scenics. But with your amazing skills you will make it look good
They’re unreliable at getting product out the door though. I ordered in August and at long last they shipped something this week.
All very nice!
1) What fine point acrylic markers do you use for your Graffiti Art?😃
2) And what is the .mm tip ex .7mm? of the pen do you find that works better?
Nicholas Smith train shop in Havertown Pa
Could you do a video on how to make gondolas sag? I tried it once on an el-cheapo car and totally wrecked it.
Edit: doh! Unpaused the video, watched five more seconds and you said you've already made it. Thanks! That's completely awesome! 😁
It's in the works!
Nice work on the 5413. One nit-pick though. The rear class lights were never blanked. Just about every rear end photo I’ve seen of this unit show the rear class lights in place. Looks good otherwise.
Yup, that was something I mixed up during the remodel. I can't easily fix that sadly.
Such a bummer on that Scale Trains BNSF unit. Too bad you didn’t film an unboxing video and let the choice words fly. 😉 Another show to put on your list is the Springfield Mass show. Good to see the room is now climate controlled and we can see those sexy legs. LOL! Great video Dan and looking forward to the upcoming videos!
