Between the series "The GN in 1970" and the original series "Soo the Milwaukee Road", we've reached 100 episodes. That's a lot. We've taken over 7 years to get here, but with life, family, time and standards...it's time to shift gears. This channel is not going away, it will remain active, though the content is going to shift sligtly.
Season 7 was fun to create, it had its highs & lows and the lows are what are being cleaned up. As a creative person, I see the final product, before it's even created. That said, I did not feel like I was reaching that We all have our own levels of success and how we define what is good. In my opinion, things can get tighter and cleaner, with less editing needed.
Be sure to subscribe to the channel to get the future latest and greatest videos. "Thanks for watchin'." -William - Розваги
Such a brilliant show and I feel privileged to have made a cameo appearance. Look forward to the new series this is one of the best model railroading channels on UA-cam
Thanks Paul! The shifting of gears will totally be worth the re-boot. We need to dial into projects and see them through. That’s a win-win for all, right?
Those are gorgeous cars you have here.I really appreciate nice, fine detail, & these guys are right up there- ST, Tangent, Exactrail. Nice weathering too. Thanks for the video. Michael NZ
Congratulations on completing Season 7 and 100 episodes! I truly appreciate all the time and effort you put into making these videos. Sharing the hobby is what it all is about. You must have made that segment on hopper cars for dummies for me. Great tutorial but I still won't remember the differences when I look at one during an ops session. Whatever direction you go in the future with your videos I will always be a fan of your channel and look forward to any future videos. Now kick the brake off of the locomotive and go switch some cars on your fantastic layout.
Thank you Tom! The series truly grew legs & got off the ground, thanks to you. My RR wouldn’t be where it’s at and the series wouldn’t have near the variety of topics, if we didn’t connect. From one modeler to another, a big “THANKS” goes to you. It’s totally about sharing and more will be shared, but at a slightly retooled pace/length.
Thanks again, “On with the ops!” The future’s bright.
OOOh, that's not the way I wanna see a Split-Rock! Aluminum.......LOL Thanks for all the fun. Congratulations on 100 episodes.
My son and I love your content. Your production value is top notch. With the quality of your vids, I don't understand how you haven't reached 10, 20 or even 30k subs. I'm determined to watch all 100 episodes and we hope to see another season. Thanks for the great info.
Thank you for the feedback and kind words. Spread the word & encourage others to subscribe.
My goal was to share how entertaining and vast the hobby can be. There’s a possibility of creating a new series, we’ll see, time will tell.
It’s modelers like yourself & son that fuel my efforts to create. Just knowing people are enjoying each episode, makes it worth while. Thanks again for tuning in and for leaving feedback.
Gotta love those covered hoppers!
Absolutely love the cutoff on the fly!
Thanks for all the hard work and dedication to sharing the hobby.
Thank you tuning in!
Soo The Milwaukee Road always lives on in infamy! 💯 episodes of model railroading bliss! Always enjoyed....no matter what the Crumudgeon may say.....🤭. Thank you for keeping the historically powerful roads of the SOO LINE & MILWAUKEE ROAD Alive!
Fantastic series and variety show, Bill.
You give the Roadrunner, a "Run" for his money. Life and the silver Ribbons roll on.
We look forward to any future events, you have to offer.
As the Crumudgeon would say......W-a-i-t _W-h-a-t......Issss thiisss ann April's Fool's
gotcha moment????? Naaah.....just another day in the life of...《RXR》Beep! Beep! Railroading!!!
Happy Trails!
Thanks for another great season.
William, this series is a great gift to the modeling public! I will look forward to anything you create.
Well, congratulations first! Thanks again for the dedication to the channel. Definitely one of the most fun and lively model railroading channels out there. It's funny to hear a midwesterner pronounce the word ROOF! Looking forward to your next production!!!
Thanks for tuning in and posting. I too get a kick out of the various pronunciation of words…obviously like Paul’s Aussie “Ah-lou-min-ee-um” or the Canadian “Deck-els”. 😜 Us midwesterners own “Roof - Boat and Rag”… when traveling I’ve had people ask to say words, just cause they like the accent. 🤷🏻♂️
Future eps should be fun! Be sure to eep an eye out for them.
Thx for the content as always. Looking forward to what’s next.
The hopper for dummies was a great educational block of time well spent!
Totally understand the time constraints of production, but what a great product you have created WS!
Looking forward to coming North to visit & hoping you come South and visit the Mesquite Belt!
Thanks for 100 episodes of Good Times!
Excellent finale episode, I'm only a week late to the party on this one, the hopper segment was very informative those cars all seem to look alike until you take the time to notice the details, your breakdown was top notch, I like the TP&W ghost lettering showing through on that ATSF car, that movie clip montage was awesome, yet again the Rivard footage didn't disappoint, I always liked the look of the SOO units and getting to see them in action is a treat, the casual radio chatter, the way the dispatcher was on a first name basis with the crew, all aspects of the job that have passed on, I like after the one train passed the two boys that went to retrieve coins from the rail, your series was 23 well spent hours for me, no refund here, and I appreciate the time you invest into these, I don't think people realize how much time it takes to create content and I for one appreciate that, be a little sad to see the series go, but I'll definitely still tune in for projects etc, I enjoy seeing the progress on your layout, also look forward to seeing more GN in 1970 as well, Thanks for 100 great episodes and I look forward to viewing your future content
Looking foward to the next thing .
Nice series, I learned a lot. JMRI topics always welcome as I use it on my small switching setup (not really a layout) and I’m no expert.
That was a great season #7 thanks
well here we go, 100th episode! congrats :) I just wasted 23hrs of my life? NOT! It's my most "look forward to" channel. Let's see what you will come up with next :) can't wait. Thanks for all the hard work to produce content on this channel. I was still hoping to see what happened to that GN caboose ;) lol
Saving the best for last? No, They've all been the best. Loved the "Willy" sequences. How many seconds in total, wow! Ever seen "Wallace & Gromit?" Documentary spoke of each minute was four hours. Love the flowing Rivards footage! I guess I'm gonna haffta rewatch all the episodes again so I don't get too lonely... I commend your efforts. I bid you a pleasant railroad ahead.
John
p.s. My channel has old videos (Mostly CP trains in the early 2000's)... I should upload some new ones. CN/CP... and some U.S. visitor locomotives. Have a great day.
Thank you for producing these episodes. Always good learning material and I really enjoyed the Hoppers for Dummies, really helpful for the Chessie System grain switching layout I’m building.
It’s great to hear you’re finding value in the content. Hopefully that will continue and a deep dive can be hard on more specific techniques and see the RR evolve.
Tanks for the memories.
You bet Steve! Thanks for tuning in & commenting. Keep up the great progress on your RR.
Truely one of the most unique and entertaining shows on UA-cam but I fully understand the enormous commitment to production. Any way as a recent convert/subscriber I am kinda lucky because I can now go through the back catalog. Thx again William for putting this together and looking forward to the next phase of the channel.
First of all, welcome aboard! Secondly, the future should be fun…as it’ll be a less quirky approach and more detail oriented look at my processes as a modeler.
It’ll be fun, thanks for tuning in & be sure to keep your eyes out for the future series on the channel.
T. P. & W., exactly what you need for a hopper Toilet paper & water.
😆 Never heard that, but that car is on the chopping block to be an MN&S hopper…for some MN&S = Monkey Nuts 🤷🏻♂️
A ride worthwhile.
It’s great to hear you enjoyed the ride. Hopefully the next train will be worth the ride as well. 🤔
Another great episode
William, you run a fun show. I understand your desire for change, but I'll still miss all the goofy stuff as well as the solid info. Trivia: on the covered hoppers, you missed one! No mention of the Pullman-Standard 4740. Not a smaller version of the later (and much more common) car. The roof profile was flat, the sides were fully ribbed, just not as many as the 4750. Athearn and Tangent have done 4740s in HO scale.
It’ll be hard not to add a little personality into the future productions. I do have fun creating these, it’s just the time that sucks the life out of bringing them to the level they’re currently at.
I’m looking to branch out and focus more on the various techniques and hopefully share my artistic abilities with weathering & detailing.
I’ll never stop enjoying the process, but cranking these out weekly? It’s tough, as I do work 40+ hours a week, have a family and still want to fit trains in the mix. Which I do, but 10pm-1am isn’t ideal. 😆
Keep an eye out for the future eps.
Ready for season 8!
Hopefully soon! In the process of finishing an MN&S book at the moment. If interested, it'll be a limited run and pre-orders placed here: TinyURL.com/MNSBook
Whatever you produce, I’ll be watching. Thanks for your efforts.
Congratulations on 100 episodes. The well thought out, entertaining and produced videos were much appreciated. I also learned something new on each episode. Looking forward to your new series. Thanks again.
Thanks for tuning in! This series was produced for modelers like yourself and the production was intended to keep the attention of younger modelers, like my own kids, to draw interest towards the hobby. A few Curmudgeons have expressed their dislike for the added sounds and shenanigans, which finally tipped the decision to end this series and start another.
Perhaps a segment on the correct lights to put on a 1985 era squad car?!? 🤔
Thanks again for tuning in & posting.
Ya know how you can know what's in a hopper car? If it's an "open-top hopper car," I have greatly enjoyed the series, and learned quiet a bit. Thank you
Brilliant as usual - thanks for posting
This is such a great channel. Love all the work you put into it.
It has been a great so far! Thank you for sharing this with us!
Thank you for all your hard work. I look forward to see what the future brings
Another great show. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve done all 100! Wish there was 100 more! Excellent work!
Great videos. I've actually gone through all your videos and enjoyed them. Keep up the great work..Jeff😊
Appreciate all the work you put into the series, William! I look forward to wherever your channel takes us next. Now, how to get rid of that visual of Splitrock in a G-string?
Congratulations and top notch work! It is certainly understandable and difficult to keep going with regularity with that much work involved. Cheers to your future projects and share when you can!
Great show William. Really enjoyed the hopper car explanation. Looking forward to we’re you go next with the channel.
I have watched all 6 billion nanoseconds of your videos and I learned something from every one of them, so each video as appreciated. For example, I learned about chilitos last week and they are amazing! Thanks for posting, so sad to see another season finale and already looking forward to the next video. Keep it up!
Thanks for tuning in. Your feedback is always great to hear. It is funny you mentioned Zantigo (very underrated - great to hear you dug it), we just had it yesterday and rail-fanned Northtown a bit with my youngest daughter, she loved it! For me, that’s what it’s all about. The viewers just get a taste of what’s good. 😜
Thanks again for tuning in & commenting!
@@SootheMilwaukeeRoad Unfortunately I am over a thousand miles away from any Zantiago but did find enough info to create my own chilitos, already craving new episodes to go with newfound recipe for chilitos!
I'm looking forward to seeing what is next for Soo thr Milwaukee Road. Nice work over the past 100 episodes!
Congratulations on a very entertaining series.
I have almost learned hopper cars. Thanks I think.
Ps. You mentioned an automotive product you used to remove lettering without harming paint. I have looked for it but… Could I ask you to remind me of that product
Thanks again for all you do both in your videos and in the Crossinggate podcast.
Pretty sure I've watched all 100 episodes. That's a lot of view time. Lots more editing time by Bill! Nice work! #soothemilwakeeroad, #soothemilwaukeeroadiscool, #modeltrains, #modelrailroading, #hoscale, #hoscaletrains
I started watching since season 2, if it's the end of the road it's been a good run. It's been pretty fun.
William, thank you again for another great season and all the hard work you put into this. It is top notch must see viewing in our household! If you do requests for the future… well first, keep the Seinfeld clips but second… would love to see the evolution of the grain elevator builds and the concrete weathering because it looks amazing.
First of all, thanks for tuning in as always and for posting. You’re spot on with the elevator request, as that’s the direction I’m looking to focus on more. This series had morphed away from the modeling a bit…so I’ve got plans to retool things slightly. It was time for a change. “Not that there’s anything wrong with that” 😉
Well, I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for all the work you have done in your "second hobby". Looking forward to your very talented site work in the future, and a big thank you to your family who you have put up with your hobbies, at least its better than sitting down at the VFW or other all night....will be looking for you in the future...thanks, William.....watch that "split rock" Tom?? any thoughts??
I know Athearn made a model of SOO 4434 and Model Railroader Magazine got their hands on one for a project railroad they built (SOO Line's Red Wing Div. 12/94)
😊
It’s great to hear you enjoyed the video, thanks for tuning in and posting!
I think iam starting to really like, you're bod riveard, quicky's videos clips!
Congratulations on a really great series of videos! BTW if you ever do a "guest Curmudgeon grrrrripe of the week", it always bugs me as a free-lancer that nowadays undecorated engines are always "DC" only, only the factory decorated ones come with DCC/Sound installed. Do they think free-lancers don't want sound, or DCC? 🤬
Hi, I was wondering if you're doing okay? I really miss watching your videos I hope everything is okay
Hoppers. Easter. I get it. That clip from Austin Powers is one of my favourites. “Junior, just ‘cause we’re at the beach doesn’t mean you should stare at everyone’s… “
“Spiltrock! Welcome to the chat. We were just discussing how to pronounce…”
“Aluminum. We don’t really say it that way. We say “tin”. As in tin foil. TinTin. Tin the Tool Man. Oh, and what about…”
“Bob? Are you lawn bowling or trying to throw rocks into the sewer manhole slots? Railfanning isn’t for everyone but if you’re that bored, stop your pitching practice and check out this rabbit we found. It’s a …”
“Hopper. Grain hopper. Grass hopper. There’s a big difference. Did you not read the book I sent you? Stop listening to music and read the Dummies book. What are you listening to anyway? Johnny Cash’s a Boy Named…”
“Soo. Soo the Milwaukee Road. He just put out his 100th episode and to show my appreciation I’m leaving this comment. He makes great content but has one ugly…”
“Mug. A hat and a mug. I wonder where I can buy those? There’s no dang link.”
Love ya Billiam. Great work and all the best. -Mark

Al-you-min-eeeeee-ummmm
Always entertaining! AND informative!
🚂_ Please keep us informed with regular updates of Soo/тне Milwaukee Road. I appreciate your time and effort.
Do you know when the next open house for the north metro model railroad club is? I thought it was August 6th but can't find anything online and thought you might know
Generally they have the open house in conjunction with their flea-markets. I’ve not heard anything about the Aug 6th date. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help, did you try reaching out to the North Metro group directly?
@@SootheMilwaukeeRoad thanks for the help anyway
Say them facts, Some time the juice is not worth the squeeze.
If after putting in all that work YT share the video with no one and the view counts end up being low. Was all that extra work worth it? But if you can do less work and get the same or more views, then what would you do is the question.
Now the problem is that the viewers expect a specific level of quality based on past videos but are unwilling to support that extra work effort.
Creators just get burnt out and give up and move on. Let someone else do all that work and I will survive on my YT Shorts income. I just needed to figure out what I can buy with my 7.65 cents.
Isn’t that the truth. Grass roots can only take things so far, the more we share & comment? The more that helps. But YT clearly has zero interest in our hobby.
It’s all ad based and only so many Viagra & soap commercials will get eyeballs. When we turn off ads, we barely get 3 people to view a video, …😂
I’ve done these for the fun of it, not for the benjamins, yet many think “It’s all about the Benjamin’s baby.” There’s zero money in creating content…unless the manufactures were to back the “little guy”. We all know that won’t happen.
Shorts = Short Attention Span…😂
@@SootheMilwaukeeRoad exactly, I have a almost 11k in subs. And then UA-cam shares it with less than a 1000 people and only around 100 or so that is subbing. It makes no sense. Why do all the work when no one has a chance to view your videos. I know the work involved and I know that just saying thanks or comment goes a long way to any creator. I make sure I notice something in every video I watch and let the creator know I saw that. I just gave up on editing at this point and post what I filmed etc. but that still takes several hours to upload and correct a video that has no “editing”. I do love what you are doing. “Thanks for all the Fish”
🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃👍
ALLLLL-ABOARD!!!
Like the video, but it looks/sounds a lot like a Bill Nye Science guy video.. the added sound/video clips, in my opinion, take away from the content. Nonetheless, very informative.
You’ll be happy to know, this series has come to a close and will no longer be produced. The feedback has been heard and with that, Season 7 Episode 10 is the last of this “Series.” (As noted at the end of this video).
Thanks for tuning in and sharing your thoughts. It’s always great to hear from fellow modelers, like yourself.
Have a great weekend!
