My grandpa was a huge fan of model trains and trucks. My dad tells me stories of playing with the trucks as my grandpa built the trains. When I was a kid, I’d beg for grandpa to take out the model steam trains because I loved the steam that they made as they went around the track. He passed on when I was 6 due to cancer. To this day I never found out what happened to those trains
same here absolutely, i suddenly decided to get into n scale model trains which are much smaller scale 1/160, especially in old era steam locomotives like this one. even bought one its Japanese d51, now i plan to connect all the rooms with railways via wall shelfs so my wife can load the cargo wagons with tangerines and send them to me from the kitchen.
The coal comment reminds me of a day in class many years ago when we had to make maquettes for our idea of a coal plant (an old and unmodified since the soviet era, exercise on flows and pathways) and many had no clue how to make the coal piles look realistic, some tried pebbles, some tried foam bits painted. Anyways, it wasn't really that important, but one of the kids got it really, really unrealistic, and the assistant teacher commented that it looked like really burnt porridge, so the kid complained that the texture was really difficult to obtain. And the teacher, who wasn't really that interested in the grading process commented that only coal looks like coal, so might as well use coal. And it's true, coal is a really specific look, that just can't be imitated that easily.
I hope marklin some day will get an idea to start producing 1/72 locomotives. Because... what are we going to do with a bunch of cool and neat ww2 tanks and figures, if we can't display them next to some locomotives
Sir, I had had the privilege of watching everyone e of your builds. I have never seen any one with the talent, patience and skills that you have Sir. Your attention to detail and your attitude of "Well it could be better" and taking the time to "Make it better" is an inspiration tom all scale modelers. You Sir are an "Artisan" in your field and thank you for giving some one who will never be able to achieve your results great pleasure in watching you "At work" God Bless you Sir, and love what you do, and do so immensely well.
Mate your attention to detail is unbelievable! I don’t think there is any model builder on YT that comes close to your skill and talent! Keep the amazing videos coming brother!
As ever: a very very good job! Here is a suggestion for an improvement: In real life there is steam comming out of the cylinders on both sides. Maybe you can split the steam-pipe into three parts. So the model is more realistic. I know, that this is a big challenge - but I think you will can do it! Greatings from Germany!
I cant be the only one who laughs when i hear you say "I made some minor modifications" , right? Always a huge understatement! As always love your work and VO!
David, Great build as always. One of the reasons I watch your videos is that they remind me of my father. He was a master modeler who, like you, built a little bit of everything, but his greatest love was scratch building HO/OO (1:87) scale trains. Thanks for all that you do. Jeff
Great looking result as always. Never modelled a train but always fancied an armoured set up from world war 2, either German or a Soviet example. Watching your vid may give me the encouragement I needed! Thanks 😊
Спасибо за работу!Она замечательна!но глядя на Вашу работу -тот случай когда думаешь что уже что то умеешь,смотришь и понимаешь что ничего ….только учишься)))
Nádhera, jen škoda, že nikdo nevyrábí československé lokomotivy jako modely jen tak na stavbu... Prostě perfektní. Tohle u nás také nějakou dobu jezdilo, řada 455.2 těsně po druhé světové.
The best test of a well done model is that a photograph of it cannot be differentiated from a photograph of the actual thing. You have nailed it again, my friend!
I build houses but I love watching the tiny realistic details you make, if I didn't have to work I'd love building models, you have a great imagination and great eye for details. Thank you.
Estas re loco... pero sin dudas es hermoso lo que haces, es el unico canal que veo que no son autos en escala que me quedo mirando las cosas muy lindas que tenes.
I have always loved trains. I even had a very elaborate train set for years. I just love this build. It is mind blowing. Great job as always. Thank you for sharing. 👍
The texture you added to the boiler is fantastic. It really captured the cast-iron look at that scale and moved it away from what would have otherwise been an obvious painted plastic look. Well done. Congratulations on checking an unfinished project off your list.
Why not? This is the big pro of model railroad, you can mix models who would never see each other in real life. The BR-80 is also a nice, very modern, post war looking little steamer. But was developed in 1925 and the first ones came in service in 1928. This loco was far ahead of it time with a fully closed standardized cab.
Musím vám poděkovat. Díky vám jsem začal s modelařinou. Každé vaše další video mě posouvá dál a jen žasnu nad vaší prací. Častokrát si dohledávám fotografie letadel a různé kamufláže, aby ten model vypadal co nejlépe a co nejvíc mě bavil. Ještě jednou, děkuji
As a rail modeller myself I think this is absolutely brilliant. Excellent video and excellent modelling skills. The smoke generator is awesome and works really well.
Damn, bro! You gave me so much lovely flashbacks... I'm a railway passionate literally since I was a child! I remember one February morning when my parents took me on such a trip ... I was extremely impressed, it was the Polish TKt48 locomotive, a bit similar to the BR52. The engineers let me in while maneuvering, I was incredibly happy when they let me pull the whistle lever ... Beautiful model, encore!
This one is in post war colors, just before the German railways got split up in Deutsche Reichsbahn for East Germany, and Deutsche Bundesbahn for West Germany. About the mid 50's the known DB logo appears. In the war, those kriegslocomotiven (war locomotives) were painted in dark grey color over everything. Some were painted dark green with dark gray or dark brown cammo pattern. In winter they were light grey (not white) with dark grey, nearly black irregular striping. Again over everything. The light as you have it is the German shunting signal in peace time. In the war the top lights were not lit and the bottom lights were covered with a mask that have a narrow horizontal slot cut out, just enough to see where you ride but to difficult for aircraft to spot. Often a hood was mounted so the light on shined downwards and nearly impossible to see from the air.
Once again a fantastic model from a true master. The term "Kriegslokomotive" is usually only used for locomotives that were developed during the war. The BR 42 and BR 52 were such locomotives. They are characterized by an extremely simple construction due to the lack of materials during the war. The BR 86 was developed in the late 1920s without material restrictions. Therefore the BR 86 is not counted among the "war locomotives". The third, upper headlight are also probably incorrect for the DRG BR 86 from this period. Usually only two lower headlights were attached. The third was later added after the war. But I'm not 100% sure on this point. The BR 86 may have been an exception here.
This kit shows a standard lokomotive, like they were build throughout the 1930th. During the war, the constrution was slightly simplified. Those lokomotives had only one window on the side of the cabin and the smale wheels had no Strokes. Those changes were mainly made to reduce the necessary work to build such a lokomotive and therefore increase the output of the manufactureres. Painting the whole locomotive in gray had the same aim. And maybe it reduces the visibility of them top As long as petroleum or gas was used for lighting the locomotives, the lamps had to be cleaned regularly and therefore only those lamps were mounted on the locomotives, which were actually needed. When the elétricity was introduced for lighting of the locomotives, the lamps were no longer polluted by soot and therefore could stay on the locomotives. Since the 1950th locomotives have to be equiped with three lights to easyly distinguish them from road vehicles. Previously the third light on the locomotives were used as a signál, to indicate something unusual to people working along the line. For example, it could be essentiell to know for people working there, if a train uses the usual track or the other one! And there were also combinations of light to indicate, that there will additional trains on the line and from which direction they have to be expected! Oh, by the way, those signs on the side of the cabin with the eagle were usually used during the war. They were introduced before indeed, but there was not enough time that they were wildly spreaded. During the war the old signs were melted to gain metall for weapons.and relaced by those with the "Pleitegeier". But since they were more like a polítical statement instead of a sign for Germany, they were relaced immediatly at the end of the war. Therefore, when a locomotive has such a sign, the time can be věry likely classified
As during the war. But with the beginning of the war there was a fear of foreign aircrafts and therefore all lamps had to be covered. This Black Out was obligatory and any disregardence could be punished as a hostile action. On the other hand, those people working on this engine were happy when they were not detected by foreign soldiers or partisans! But on many models of vehicles
I greatly enjoyed the weathering techniques. Nice alteration of a plastic static model. I am an S Scaler 1/64 train nut. Went from O to Ho to S when I bought my first American Flyer. I find it hard to weather a valuable antique. Currently working on track, but that is slow as I am having difficulty creating Spikes at PC board ties. Keep on building.
Thanx a lot for this this tutorial I've been working on a model for a mth now and I didn't have the pictures I needed for the steam engine so I was in a bad spot but after seeing ur model I think I'll be able to finish my 3d modelling without a problem thank u from the bottom of my heart u helped me when I needed it the most😀😄
Really neat. As always learned more great things from watching. One very minor point, around an active coal fired locomotive rail line the ground vegetation is kept well back if the tracks due to fire risk. There is a shaker plate in the bottom of the fire box to get rid of the coal ash which can contain a few live embers.
I follow your vids like arround two years. And i like these extremly. The commentary are calm and the builds is amazing. Someone who gives so much effort in details is usually also someone who "pictures" his environment and has an eye for details in every part of life. Keep it up and a good new year. Greetings from switzerland.
775 of this locomotive built - 20 destroyed in the war. More trains claimed than hit, I think - but at 300 mph with flak and smoke everywhere, who can blame them? Still, safer to be a BR86 driver than a Typhoon pilot.
Love the tiny replacement hand-wheels. Also, I never use a flat file on a round surface like a boiler. It's too easy to flatten the seam when finishing.
Oh man, what a neat job! I have to say, this has to be one of the videos on my top ten best ever, it was a real treat! I've been wanting to do some train stuff myself, maybe this is getting me to pull the trigger? See you next time ❤️

I've been somewhat obsessed with trains lately (this interest comes and goes), and now Plasmo of all people comes out with a train model. Cool :D
This is literally what happens to me, all of a sudden i like trains again and boom
same here absolutely, i suddenly decided to get into n scale model trains which are much smaller scale 1/160, especially in old era steam locomotives like this one. even bought one its Japanese d51, now i plan to connect all the rooms with railways via wall shelfs so my wife can load the cargo wagons with tangerines and send them to me from the kitchen.
Same here!
Same! Sometimes train, then planes, then trucks. A delightfull fluctuation of transport obsessions :p
My interest comes and goes too.
When you heard "I decided to had some small modifications " you know it's going to be awesome !
The man does NOT know the meaning of "making a few minor modifications" 😉 Excellent work as always, David!
I wonder what he considers major modifications
@@dwayne7201 😆
That was the fastest I've ever clicked.
Fantastic build already! I love the steam mechanism.
Same... Obsessed with them👍
..."👌👍"...Me too🧑🎄
yes same

I'm in shock ! Train? New Plasmo video? This is truly christmas gift
Jako smekám kloboucek před vaši tvorbou. Je parada koukat vám pod ruce , pod kterými vznikají opravdu nádherná díla 👍🏼
I hope marklin some day will get an idea to start producing 1/72 locomotives. Because... what are we going to do with a bunch of cool and neat ww2 tanks and figures, if we can't display them next to some locomotives
Sir,

God Bless you Sir, and love what you do, and do so immensely well.
Opět jsi nezklamal, krásná práce, děkuji za inspiraci.
I've been low-key doing this with 1:87 scale models, adding small weathered details to my trains. Great to see you build a locomotive :D
Mate your attention to detail is unbelievable! I don’t think there is any model builder on YT that comes close to your skill and talent! Keep the amazing videos coming brother!

Looks fantastic when you start putting lights into models they come alive great job

Úžasná práce. Klobouk dolů.
Ať se daří :-)
Přesně !!👍👍👍
I really like watching people do what they are good at. Another great model!
Estas re loco... pero sin dudas es hermoso lo que haces, es el unico canal que veo que no son autos en escala que me quedo mirando las cosas muy lindas que tenes.
Thanks for this great project. It is always a pleasure to see how people create art!
I have always loved trains. I even had a very elaborate train set for years. I just love this build. It is mind blowing. Great job as always. Thank you for sharing. 👍
I'd love to set up my Marklin trains again, but the new house is open plan and I have 3 feline Gojiras. 😂😭
The manufacturing technology is fantastic.
I got a lot of inspiration.
“A few minor modifications”
Something I’ve never believed when David says it.
The texture you added to the boiler is fantastic. It really captured the cast-iron look at that scale and moved it away from what would have otherwise been an obvious painted plastic look. Well done. Congratulations on checking an unfinished project off your list.
the best locomotive I´ve ever seen in my life
I do love the German locomotives. Especially the BR50. And this is from someone who has a ship load of American trains.
Why not? This is the big pro of model railroad, you can mix models who would never see each other in real life. The BR-80 is also a nice, very modern, post war looking little steamer.

The fire box is a real stand out eye popper. Stunning build. May Santa give you lots of kits to build in 2022.
As a rail modeller myself I think this is absolutely brilliant. Excellent video and excellent modelling skills. The smoke generator is awesome and works really well.
As a railway modeller myself, I think that you've done a cracking job👍😊😊
Привет из Тольятти! Отличная работа!!! Всегда с интересом смотрю ваши работы!
A little piece of art !!!! Congrats!!
👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
"I Will make ONLY a few modifications"... BOOMM!! lights, smoke, extras and diorama!! Love This!!! 😃😃😂👍👍👍 Amazing work as usual! Merry Christmas!!
Damn, bro! You gave me so much lovely flashbacks...

My favorite! Steam locomotives, so well done 😊😊😊thankyou 👏👏👏👏
Que pasada!!!!!! Impresionante trabajo!!!!! Enhorabuena 👏👏👏👏
Excellent workmanship, i love watching your videos. You made that locomotive look real
Astounding! Love trains and love this model. Very well done!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
get out the popcorn, David said only a few minor modifications, lol. Well done, and thank you again for your wonderful builds and videos...
Awesomeness! I LOVE the build! Thank You for sharing with Us!

If this guy don't mention "model" in tittle it all looks real . . Another masterpiece great work 💕 love from Pakistan
You never cease to amaze me. Your work is an inspiration!
Once again that's so over the top unbelievable work killer build
The Firebox light is so cool! Great job!!!

Beautiful! You are very skilled. Thank you for sharing.
As a german i must say this looks very very good. Good work.
Felicitaciones!!! Excelente trabajo 👏👏👏👏
Super build, I quess I'll have to start mine. One thing you have to add to the Loco is the engineer and fireman.
I love your models. Every time one of your videos comes out, I stop work to watch it
Welcome to the world of model railroading, David. Beautiful job!
I’m amazed by your level of detail and how your editing techniques. Your videos are insanely entertaining even if I’m not building models myself
As always, excellent work with extreme attention to detail. The "Justified" background music was a plus...
Really neat. As always learned more great things from watching. One very minor point, around an active coal fired locomotive rail line the ground vegetation is kept well back if the tracks due to fire risk. There is a shaker plate in the bottom of the fire box to get rid of the coal ash which can contain a few live embers.

Fabulous model making as ever. I would be tempted to call it "Typhoon Target"!
775 of this locomotive built - 20 destroyed in the war. More trains claimed than hit, I think - but at 300 mph with flak and smoke everywhere, who can blame them? Still, safer to be a BR86 driver than a Typhoon pilot.
Very very nice build indeed! Love the cowboy music for the kriegslokomotive 🤣. Thanks very much.👌
Made it in 1/25 from paper :) Very good looking locomotive!
I ❤️ this channel so much: always lifts my mood.
"I drill my finger!" 😀
Love your work!
I really like the music choices now. Very nice.
As always, WUNDERBAR! Nice work, thank you very much!
Great work
Excelente trabajo, muchas felicitaciones... 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍
for not being your cup of tea, you sure did a great job! im a huge fan of steam trains and hope to see more train models from you!
Once again, David, you have created an amazing video.
Yeeesss this is my dream Video: Plasmo and Trains! Definitely be watching this one after Work! :D
I really like trains and that my friend is a cool model. Nice departure from some other projects very refreshing.
Wow! so much effort goes into making such realistic model. I am truly impressed with your work. Awesome!
Диорама супер крутая. Мастер приложил руку!
Great job. Lots of details. I love it. You always show us something interesting.
You need to 3d print a guy for it. WIth the fire burning it looks like a runaway train lol. Amazing as always David.
Holy fucking shit this is too good! My late father will be pleased seeing this because he was a fan of old locomotives!
Magnifique!!! Beautifully built! love your videos! Please do more train dioramas.
Love the tiny replacement hand-wheels. Also, I never use a flat file on a round surface like a boiler. It's too easy to flatten the seam when finishing.
If you got a fan to blow the steam to the rear of the train it would look like it was moving! Love this video. Great job.
Those mini lights are incredible
Just beautifully done, I wish I had your skill!
Magnificent job! Congrats!👏👏👏
Dude you’re simply amazing! Awesome job my friend!
Very nice David, even if it did take a while to complete it…..looks amazing. Thank you
The smoke and lights off VERY cool 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️😃
Outsanding as always! Just work of art.
Very cool project and beautiful model - thanks.
Oh man, what a neat job! I have to say, this has to be one of the videos on my top ten best ever, it was a real treat! I've been wanting to do some train stuff myself, maybe this is getting me to pull the trigger? See you next time ❤️
Thomas the train toy line has real smoke systems that I think could be put in a model like this and as always amazing work
