Go with the flow Steve with aloha

Following from the UK and really enjoy your updates. You must have the patience of a saint to achieve such a great looking bridge, congrats!

OMG, this is my first video of yours I have seen. You are my spirit modeler. You literally could have been describing how I do this. With many "Oh F$&$ moments"

Steve...Your Videos and Modeling Skills are Awesome. You Give Soo Much Inspiration To Average Modelers. Thank You. I have one Question. I watch your trains go up and down 4% grades with ease... what is your secret. Others say anything over 2% is risky. I'm just starting out as an n scale modeler and I am gathering all the info and advice I can. Thank You

I'm building my first model railroad at 72. I like your attitude. I'm trying to avoid making the hobby all consuming because then it becomes "work". Subscribed!

Seriously Steve you need to charge for your therapy session videos, its what a lot of folks need excellent😉😊👍👍👍👍 as always cheers

I like it, I respect your approach! Carry on! 🫡👍✌️

Pure Poetry... Great Episode...

LOVE IT!!! Keep going! I wanna see some sculpamold/plaster cloth next.

I got several takes from this video. First is to just get started and overcome your fears. Second is to have a goal in mind to work toward. Third is to try to make your pieces as consistent as you can given your available tools and manual skill level.

Good job Steve buddy .. I think it looks awesome..and your right it's your railroad.. thanks for sharing buddy..

I'm kinda like you , I think it, I build it, then fix it, then tweek it , then I smile and say.. I DID IT ! Personality is in the creation.. Keep having fun ..

I love your energy man 😂

I thought we were all faking it til we made it?

Bridge looks cool Steve..thanks for sharing 👍

Love it Steve, you are the man, rail on

Looking good! (I have your books, too.)

Looks great from my house!!!!!! Thanks for sharing.

If ya squint, it's mint!!

"Regular guy" pants? Do you have a clothing line too?

What's in the cup?!😅

You're the best😊

Steve, it's a nice trestle. I can't wait to see the terrain develop around it. Regards, Stephen.

🇩🇰🇩🇰that a cool bridge🫵🏼🤩 Happy New Year🍺🕺🏼🇩🇰🇩🇰

Thanks for sharing your elephant and how you ate it 😮

LOOKS GOOD FROM MY HOUSE!! 😁

I now why you sing so bad, it's that beer you drink. Yuk dude!

Hi Steve & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Steve & Friends Randy

Great to have you back Steve… always enjoy your vids

The bridge is awesome. Happy New Year and Rail On.

Job has nothing on you my friend. My single malt would be long gone before I was half finished. Your trestle looks fantastic and well up to my standards. Ron

Boy Steve, those drunk hillbillies have gotten way more skilled. They did a real nice job for ya there buddy. 🤣👍

What did you do!?

My HO double-track two-arch stone viaduct (29.5" & 31.5" radius) has cork roadbed on Homasote on a foam core & is removable. It's been operational for a few years, but is on the back burner for detailing. I'm doing it at MY pace! ;-)

Hey, good to have you back. Have an awesome 2025. I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Happy new year to all railers out there! Looking great Steve. And I agree with you that sometimes you just have to start and not plan every detail. This helped me just enjoy my railroad instead of stressing over things needing to be 'perfect'.

Happy New Year Steve!

Great step by step the regular way. I swear we're brother-twins. Your method of just jumping off is mine, itshow it tookme about 1.5 years of dreaming and scheming a helix but said "just start, it won't be perfect" and within about a month the helix was in and running exactly as 'planned '. Perfect, far from it but it works for me. And guess what i just began to build? - a wooden bridge! Too creepy, we work on our projects and in sync too. Love your work and videos. Rail on, I'm with ya!

Hi Steve, just came in from snow blowing the driveway, up at 5 done at 7.30, fed the birds and squirrels, now the day is mine to work on my layout. It's good to see you again. I like the eat the elephant 🐘 one bite at a time. Also enjoy the way you work...your way, the regular guy way. Your trestle bridge is looking fantastic. I remember when I first started out, I got some advice from a wise man, and it ha stuck with me. He would say.."it's my railroad".. changed the way I went about mine. Thanks for that Steve...Rail on my Friend. Now to go paint some buildings...lol. 🇨🇦

Lov the bridge Thank you for the update * Happy Rails *

Happy New Year, Steve. It's great to have you back. I've missed your "brand" of modelling; it always makes me smile. 👉"Rail on"

Hi Steve, your analogy of "1 bite at a time " is something I use all the time. Apart from HO modelling, I'm nearly finished a 1.5 inch scale , 4-8-4, Northern Pacific live steamer. ( Yeh, I know I'm an Ozzi, but I like Yankee steamers) and the elephant eating is bang on! Love your bridge too.😊

I actually decided to build a small bridge over a creek with the track in place already similar to how you did this one. So I can run the layout while building the bridge.

Great all around and I would argue is above what I think a 'regular guy' would lol OH, grab yourself a pair (or 4) 1-2-3 blocks (wielding tool/equipment). They pretty cheap and never will replace -they are SO useful for crafting that is your wheelhouse (need a stiff 90 degree, need weight, need base with holes to stick things in, need 1 or 2 or 3 inch reference, and so on)

Lose the silly, it does not work
