Great job! There's nothing like something you build with your own hands that's unique to you that no one else has on their layout. Remarkable indeed.👍
Thank you! These builds are always a fun challenge trying to find a way to build something that's not available RTR.
Very nice build Steve, I like that
trick with the red paint on the
stirrups, oh, don't run with scissors in the train room!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you! Gotta have safety scissors! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cool Bash. Didn't know about these ballast hoppers. Give Oreo another good petting. Cats Rock Brother.
Thank you! And will do!
Great vid mate ,, thanks stevo. And i keep forgetting to mention - i really like your sound tracks in the background also.
Thank you!
Really nice layout and modeling! Great job on the ballast cars
Thank you!
Hi CR Steve & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks CR Steve & Friends Randy
Thank you Randy!
Rumor has it there will be a few more of these popping up soon.
You gotta keep me in the loop on these rumors!!
Instead of styrene down the bottom of the car to look like the center sill, try a piece of steel key stock to lower the center of gravity.
I will have to get some steel key stock for future builds. Great tip!!
I love it
Thank you!
Howdy Steve! Great kit bash. Looks pretty darn good - nice representation of the prototype. I saw a tip from another YT channel (might have been Boomer Diorama) - he puts his cement bottle in an old coffee mug because he got tired of knocking it over lol! Just out of curiosity - are you in Ohio or WV? Well done and thanks for sharing 🤠
Thank you! I'll have to hunt down a coffee cup for my cement bottles as I can't even count the number of times I have knocked it over lol. I am in Northeastern Ohio
@@ConrailSteve Cool - I'm in Northwest Ohio.
Awesome Build, do you have part numbers for the Bowser Ballast doors? and the Accurail trucks?
Thank you! Part number for the ballast doors shows as 3-1700 and 102 for Accurail. Generally I buy the bulk packs of 50 or 100 from Accurail but they are showing as sold out right now.

@@ConrailSteve where do you buy your Grab Irons?
Thanks for all the parts Info, I have ordered all the parts to build 4 cars, just need Grab irons, do you happen to have a good resource for those?
No problem! I do not have a good source for grab irons. Generally I google search the Titchy part number and go with whatever hobby store has the best deal. I also generally buy a few packs at a time when I order so I only bug them every few years.
