very nice, all you guys do such great work. i would have never thought of incorporating real leaves from out of doors, onto a layout. great job to mike budde and his fabulous auto racks. thanks so much for these vids, informative, and inspirational.
Oct. 2020. Just working my through you programs from the beginning but missed a few to this point .I am modeling ConRail in 1978. I believe the open auto rack cars were still running. When were they starting to enclose them. I hope to have a few open rack cars. Fantastic modeling Mike Budde. Thanks Ken for sharing.
I'm just getting into DCC and the part on program was awesome! It's really got me excited to dig in. I'm also new to MRHM and I'm looking forward to more videos and ideas. Great job
hey was working on a household project needed to cut foam but didn't want all the mess of using a regular saw tried using my multitool cut it better faster and alot less mess that is how i'm cutting foam from now on
The 'pooling'of the boxcars and autoracks, the fact that all of the railways contributed in maintenance and such, is that where the idea of the old Railbox and Railgon came from, the "Nationwide Boxcar Pool"?
Watching this video I noticed your barge boats, is there any way to make them look more realistic with water depth like for full and empty barges along with the depth of the boat and water level.
Hi ken and gang .Mike i thought your auto wagons [ cars] looked just great and i liked the the colour of your vans and was just thinking where you got the idea to paint them that colour and then you came out with the answer ,[ the grey and green ones with yellow stripe } you are a very clever guy i wish i had your skills for that stuff ,i'm ok for scratch building houses and the like but it stops there ,great show fellers keep it up.Tony Slight.U.K
I know there's no right or wrong way and that you probably get the same result in the end. Do you find the water makes things easier when shredding the leaves? I have seen Luke Towan blending them dry.
This was an interesting What's Neat episode. I just wish you would feature more about N scale trains. N scale remains the 2nd most popular scale among model railroaders, but it didn't even merit a mere mention in this episode. Maybe you should rename these episodes "What's Neat with HO trains" since HO scale always seems to dominate without much attention paid to other scales. -from Tom Pilling
Thanks for your candid response, Ken. I used to work in advertising, so I can empathize with you on dealing without fickle clients. May I ask, is your UA-cam content primarily determined by your paying corporate clients, or do you have any editorial freedom and budgetary flexibility to choose your own topics covered? Your model railroading coverage is epic. I just hope you can find ways to showcase more N scale trains and layouts in futures episodes. I don't know if I can do much more from my standpoint than make the suggestion, as I don't have any material of my own to share with you at this time. Thanks for the offer, though. -from Tom Pilling
The show forms its self based on projects going on around here at any given time.. it's a reality show of sorts.. there is no dictation from any out side source as to what is included,, even I do not know what will be in June or July,,, It just happens and I get to enjoy living it!
ATSF Venta Spur Nscaler I just bought a small Bachmann N Scale set over the weekend for $55! I got it at the Fullerton Railroad Days in Southern California.
vidfreak727 Enjoy your trains. N scale model railroading is a great hobby to be in! Many manufacturers make outstanding N scale locomotives and rolling stock. One of my favorites is Micro-Trains in Talent, OR. Atlas Model Railroad Co in Hillsdale, NJ, also makes some really fine N scale trains. Another great manufacturer is Intermountain Railway Co out of Longmont, CO. You can usually find trains from these manufacturers in your local hobby shop, at train shows and through online dealers. Their quality craftsmanship is usually better than Bachmann's, but Bachmann trains can be good for beginners in the hobby. -from Tom Pilling
Hi Ken: Do you know when a manufacturer will make N scale wheels (with bearings) that will turn and if you paint the bearing bolts like they do in HO and on the prototype, this would make buyers purchase them like they are going out of style. If you know please contact me at: hsmuck@cogeco.ca, thanks for your co-operation.

Ahh... the old Southwestern Bell trucks. That brought back some nostalgia of my days in Texas as a kid.
Well Ken. Another great presentation. Thank you very much for this expert presentation. Looking forward to next months.
Dang those auto racks look nice. And Mr Meyer's work is fantastic, love ICH tags.
One of the autoracks had the Griswold Family Roadster!

Love the ICH and MECRO tags on Jeff Meyers Cars. Graffiti on model trains is the ultimate realism
Cool. Always great to watch!

At 6:54 you would not know that the scene wasn't real. Amazing!
19:09 that light jab at ESU though haha
Great show, thanks, very much....

So Mike is going to show how he does his molds and how the 1/64 shrinks are done? Sometime? Soon? Please. Or have I missed it?
looks like a drink for a modelholic... the blender and leaves... hoo rah... lol awesome
THANK YOU...for sharing.

Is it possible to get some dot stripping and cut into strips

I like that with mike budde in the video
Is it possible to turn off the engine noise ? Listening to it for a long time is a bit wearing
Another good one!
Something tells me your milkshakes are kind of gritty.

I really want to do this but I simply don't have the space in my apartment...
👍👌👏
Leave's in the blender. Oh yeah, I bet your wife loves you! :-D
DocLaw172 totally enjoyed your video, I can't seem to get my head around the VC bit.
Not my video, Gary.
DocLaw172 buy one at a thrift shop
