Adding Trees and Ferns to the Logging Railroad

  • Опубліковано 5 чер 2021
  • This week the logging railroad starts looking like a LOGGING RAILROAD!! We are adding trees, plants, and ferns. AND roots!!
    We also are heading to Antelope Island in the middle of what was the Great Salt Lake. Now just a salt flat... Mostly for fun but also to get ideas for the marchland on the logging railroad. Including a great fallen tree.
    We have acquired about 30 pine trees from Steve Strebel made by Al Badham and now surplus from Steve's layout as he is taking it apart. We also had 3 trees made for us by Al that were already installed on the logging railroad.
    We are also using cheap Chinese scale palm trees as ferns! Just pop the tops off and repaint.
    And Woodland Scenics ground foam over odd little rubber "plants" from Walmart.

    It is looking really great. It is amazing adding trees and foliage makes a big difference. It becomes life like but in miniature. Adding the water resin will make it even more realistic. I learn to cover my water resin with cardboard or paper to keep dust from settling on the surface as it cures over night. Getting air bubbles out can be a challenge too. Can't wait to see it finished. Good luck with the water features. Be safe and looking forward to Tuesday.👍🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂

  • @jacobramsey7624
    @jacobramsey7624 3 роки тому

    Where i live the logging industry was huge and for a time New Hampshire had most of its trees taken away and replaced with miles of stumps. You should add loggers eyeing al's trees as posable lumber for some fun and realism. You could even add a log loading platform! Make two stumps with a log across the two stumps being held in place by a notch in the stump. Then have logs leaned up against the other log on the stumps to create a ramp. Place the ramp parallel to the track with some workers with poals and roap to roal the logs up the ramp and on to the cars. There are plenty of videos on UA-cam of logs being loaded onto trains to act as inspiration.

    Dale and Karyn: You mentioned Red Green in your narrative and the TV show of the same name which was produced in Toronto, Ontario. I had an opportunity to meet the actor, who played the part of Red Green (I believe the actor created the persona), Steve Smith. He was appearing as a character representing a company, who manufactured DUCTTAPE, at an ACE Hardware store, here in Fort Wayne, IN. approximately 15 to 17 years ago. He was standing around the Duct tape display and was having pictures taken with the onlookers. I said, hi Mr. Smith, is life still treating you well? He replied, it could be a little better, but he really wasn't complaining. A couple of years later, he retired to South Florida. Since I've seen him twice doing his one-man shows here in the Fort, but I believe he's retired from those as well. By the way, that raspy voice you would always hear, was something he added as a part of his 'shtick'. It wasn't that way when out of character.

    • @ToyManTelevision
      @ToyManTelevision  3 роки тому

      That was some amazing “pre UA-cam home made TV”. A great inspiration. I tried a goofy voice on videos in the 80’s but it didn’t work well. Smith nailed it.. but I wonder if years later he regretted it. I’ll bet it became a bit of an annoyance for him. Anyway he nailed it. Great show!

I'll have a video on doing this out pretty soon on my channel. I use the wood pencils for logs on my On30 logging disconnects. they are great!

    Fun stuff! You all went off on a bit of tangent there towards the end, lol. Maybe you could dry brush a little grey on the roots and draw the color slightly into the tree to help the transition. Just a thought though your technique is very innovative.

    • @ToyManTelevision

      I’m thinking once it’s in place I can really do some touch up. For now the trees need to be removable. But in a few weeks... I still want to be ably to take it apart in a pinch. But not planning to.
