How so?

They'll be painted up into "Interurban Electric Railway" which was their first home up in Oakland/Alameda in the SF Bay Area, similar red color, but with Pantographs and other specific details.

Yeah, not really that explosive.

Well, they're crude models to be sure, but offer pretty zero risk/stress kitbash fodder. If you want to add detail parts, check out "Details west" and "Detail Associates" listings on ebay to practice adding parts to them. IDK if I'd bother repowering either of those pancake motor powered engines. I'd recommend grabbing an old Athearn "blue box" GP38 an either a Bachmann Plus, MRC, or Stewart F7 to actually enjoy running. All four models can be had for under $50 and will be more enjoyable to kitbash.

​@InterurbanEra thx, I guess I'll use them for practice. Which works out well cause I'm new at this.

It is indeed a model. ROFLMAO. I'm slowly going through one car at a time and weathering cars, have some patience!

Why thank you! It's been fun writing for them.

Why would you say this? Rude.

How about you actually listen and pay attention before commenting? The layout is specifically for testing power, first and foremost. A different need would make for a different design. This specific track plan design meets that brief. Dismissing something someone else does because the design isn't what YOU want helps nobody.

Not ment to be rude, take it as a comment to improve your layout design skills.

@@Jeremiaha284 Something you should always take into account is to ask for consent before offering advice. "Would you like some feedback on your trackplan?" is ALWAYS a much more respectful approach than unsolicited advice. The other thing is that you're assuming this plan is strictly adhered to, which isn't the case. It's just a general guide that I've already drastically changed/improved from the one in this older video. I can handle criticism with good humor, I went through college design school where critiques were BRUTAL, but you have to learn how to critique before you come at someone first, especially someone you don't know in person. Your original comment was worded exceptionally rudely, even if unintentionally so. Practice critiquing on friends who welcome your input and respect your views before going out on the internet and offering unsolicited advice.

Longform videos return soon in the first week of December. I've lost my voice from a sore throat and flu, so I cannot record any voiceover until then.

@ oh get well soon

Had to buy it off of eBay from a hobby shop in Portugal! Shipping wasn't as bad as I thought. Model is for a client so thankfully it wasn't out of pocket.

Have to keep the Americans happy!

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much, it's so fun to think of ways to make a town worth exploring on foot if it were actual size!

The best thing about these Suydam models is that they're relatively affordable! Each of of these was less than $125 per! (this is insanely low for good brass engines)

Nobody bought the beautiful Caspar & South Fork 2-6-6-2 yet. The Manua model is also still available for a tenth the price too! haha

Csak 25 amerikait fizetnék, beleértve a szállítást is.

A Eurodual in the deseret scheme....now you're giving me ideas

@InterurbanEra wood be a total vibe! I'm getting the feelings for a synthwave night shoot edit!!!!

@@hamiltonsullivan6563 Oh absolutely yes. that'd be SO cool.

The Piko model is genuinely spectacular, it'd be a fun one to add to your collection for sure.

Once the November shorts experiment is complete on the 1st of December. I have a new ALTA update and a layout tour planned, as well as some other goodies.

@@InterurbanEra ok good to know

It's made by Brekina! Here's a listing for the exact pickup. There's a few US retailers who still have them in stock too! www.truckmo.com/en/new-at-truckmo/brekina/40768/brekina-jeep-gladiator-b-1968-19814

That'd be fun, contact me via DM on my Patreon or send me an email to interurbanera (at) gmail to set up stuff. Where's the best place can I listen to your pod?

The offer them with sound & DCC! Mine are DC for the moment, but that'll change in time, you'd better move fast though, they just came out with them and they're disappearing quickly!
