What model and manufacturer is that steam engine 27?

Those look really good and it looks like they would be impossible to screw up. Definitely saved this one.I'll be using it on my layout. One more point- I think maybe one more coffee should do it 🤭

While a chop or miter saw is gross overkill for cutting foam, that technique is actually brilliant! I'm going to pull my saw down and start squaring up all the mongrel pieces of foam I have that don't have a square corner or straight edge! Perfect... The demo is for O scale... I've done this in HO and use a knife to scribe the lines, which makes for a finer, more appropriate (for HO scale) mortar joint. I just use thin piece of metal to expand the lines cut with a blade, which makes them more visible, but not as wide as a pencil or scribing tool would. You've got a great channel here!! One of about a dozen model train channels that I've watched that have far too few subscribers, compared to other not as good channels that have many times more subscribers.

I've watched a few of your videos this morning... Great techniques!!! Sanding the dirt (or sand if that's what you use) is a great idea! Knocks down some of the particles that appear to nearly float and it really lightens up the surface of the dirt. Your bushes/vines video was fantastic too... My only question with both techniques. Do you find that the holding power of hair spray diminishes over time? I've used it in the past to make polyfiber bushes and found that over time, the hair spray dried out and the foam would fall off the polyfiber. I'm using the bushes on a pair of modules I occasionally take to shows, so they get bumped around. Maybe that's where I'm going wrong, or I could just be using the wrong hair spray.

Good stuff mate...thank you!

I was wondering how I might use my home made rust powder from 0000 steel wool & vinegar. I have my own can of hairspray and now I know how to build up the texture. Guess I could use Dull Coat over the top of everything. You didn't show any final coating, though. Thanks for posting. Cheers from eastern TN

What happened to the "O" scale and the cool car dumper?

Joey Hi What is your opinion on sidewalks that continue in front of buildings? The buildings are on my industrial area. Thank you.

Your layout is the ultimate pursuit of realism. I am following your advice/video on gravel roads. Thank you.

Wow, that is really fascinating. Thank-you...

I'm planning my first layout, so I appreciate your videos, especially since I also want to include one or two little rivers below the train tracks in my layout. * subscribed *

Very cool

Looks like mullen is the plant

Excellent as always'...

Joey, just found this. What scale is this layout? Nice work on that huge mountain! I really like the rock structures'...👍👍🌟🌟

Really nice layout with atmosphere and character in not so much space. Congrats.

You should go out west where there are real mountains when it snows and come back down it’s warm.

Where can we buy it

I just sifted it thru a really fine woven screen then sifted it again with a screen that took the bigger stuff out. Works good and no blender.

wonderful to watch the evolution of your shelf !

I will try right away your technic, to support an atlas HO bridge

This is spectacular!

I tried to paint my track with just acrylics hated it. I've been considering airbrushing... but this looks great. I have got chalk which I have used previously but never thought about this... 😊

Is the right of way still owned by the RR? I would not want to hike this and risk trespassing if any of the RoW had reverted to the surrounding landowners. Also check out the ex-WM between Hendricks and Thomas, which is now a bike trail. You can ride it both ways or just go downhill and get a shuttle back up.

Those rollers are genious! I'll be honest, I've been in HO almost 30 years and only recently realized the wheels could be moved along the axle. (Had a bunch of mystery derailments with one car and found it was out of gauge.)

"It's realistic!!!" Where's the plaster?

That backdrop looks 3D on video!

thank, you for youre great helpful video]👍

[thank, you for youre great helpful video]👍

the route needs reviving

Great hike and vid; any chance of this trackage seeing trains ever again ?

Enjoying the vids. Thought i would try the real dirt idea. How do you get the dirt smell out?

Sure looks great!

Amazing that the best track weathering technique is from a 10-year old video. I've watched dozens of track-weathering YT videos and liked this one best. I tested it on my Atlas o-scale layout and the results were absolutely stellar. I did make some minor changes to the technique though. Firstly, I prefer Pan Pastels in lieu of chalk as they're ready to use, not that expensive and go a long way. I also used Krylon Camouflage brown to initially spray the track instead of black. Spraying the track with an oil-based primer is critical because the chalk needs something to "bite", and this Krylon is one of the best primers you can get. I also found there was no need to mix the alcohol slurry rust chalks -- I just dusted the rails and tie plates directly using a mix of oxide read, burnt umber and black -- which sticks just as well as the alcohol slurry painted on. Anyway, it's a bit of work but the results are worth in and better than anything else I've seen. Thanks Joey!

[thank, you for youre great video]👍

Is the 6 x 6 inch square 1 inch in thickness or 2 inches?

Awesome tutorial! I appreciated the bits of humor as well. I’m definitely going to be using this technique on my 1:32 scale slot car track!

Thank you so much for the info 🎉 that was really helpful 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

Great little railroad with a really big look!

Very Very great idea and demonstrations

Very good work, but the music was killing me

Very Informative and Helpful !!!

Excellent job of demonstrating your technique...results are great..lastly love the Video crossing Yellow Breeches in Boiling Springs on the Lurgan..

Very cool!

Super!!!

Wow the scenery in the intro looks just like the real world 😮😮😮

Many thanks for the well founded explanations --Masterful !!

You make this look easy, which means it's not easy. LOL

Good tips. As an alterative to hair spray you can drench the dirt with dilute PVA glue to seal it and lock it in. Happy Modelling
