Big Shelf Layout Update | Critique & Review - Vlog # 100

[@tedkowalik2934]

I haven't commented in a while as other life issues get in the way. Looking absolutely Fantastic. The look, the feel, so realistic. Your talent I applaud. Well done Bommer. A true Canadian talent. Looking forward to the ideas and construction moving forward. Proof you don't require a mega layout to give hours of modeling enjoyment. It is truely in the details!

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you. I think larger layouts are fine but the size is often over-rated. The shelf layout feels huge to me because the signature scene can be very immersive. If you are going to let the proverbial "Genie out of the Bottle" why not contain it some so as to raise the bar and still sleep comfortably at night?

[@OtterCreek]

I am impressed with your ability to use the word "optimistic" and "sawzall" in the same sentence as it relates to a model railroad!! ;-) I'm trying my hardest to be the exception to the dangers you warn about. I'm absolutely guilty of having a grandiose plan in my head, I can "see" a lot of my finished railroad and admittedly I'm not sure how (Exactly) I'm going to get there but I do have a plan. I'm just now about two years into that plan with no burnout in sight. I enjoy the journey almost as much as the finished product... the problem solving. Thanks Boomer, always inspirational!

[@boomerdiorama]

With each component I near finish, I write a to-do check list to close on it, which gets me to the end every time. Then I sit back, stare, and reap the rewards. The hobby is great isn't? ;-)

[@OtterCreek]

@@boomerdiorama Yes sir it is. I have an excel spread sheet for my to do list. It's broke down to components for purchase as well as a prioritized list(s) of "to do's" I have separate "construction tabs." I have one each for the various stages/Locations of the build. I try to make needed purchase months in advance so I'm not blowing my budget all at once and waiting for my wallet to heal before I can move on!

[@baronjutter]

Really loving your commentary, it's all stuff I had to learn the hard way over years and years of failed layouts. Usually it was because I had to move, but I finally have a basement for a "basement empire" and I want to do it right. I'm doing N scale but I'm going to really try to scale down a lot of your methods because I also really want a layout that instantly communicates "Coastal BC!!!!" loud and clear.

[@boomerdiorama]

Sounds great!😁

[@cancon16]

When I look at your layout, I absolutely know I'm looking at British Columbia. You have nailed the urban west coast look so beautifully. All the tiny details just yell "BC" for me. I love the "widowmaker" branch hanging off of your conifer by the end of your barge slip! Your logs and other detritus at the waterline is gorgeous and just so beautifully typical

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank You. It was really important for me to capture the West Coast feel of the region on this smaller layout. Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@lilactreehouse]

Love the ecological component of the in-progress module on the right. The idea of a stream running into a culvert for salmon spawning is really a nice touch. You've literally got it all there and it's not even half done yet.. Impressive is an understatement for sure.

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you for sharing! Cheers.

[@danielfantino1714]

Yep, he just forgot to put a cormoran on one of these piers.....eating a salmon ! An other crazy but colorful salmon. The best point in that video is, keep everything removable. For maintenance photo sessions, just for refreshing change and always no matter size or shape, have a movable layout. What you do with your 6'X40' 2000 pounds plaster monument if one day you must move it. You call 10 of your friends to realise that it will only go out as planter chunks in garbage bags. 15 years of your life ! Smart Boomer😊

[@fbrailroad4628]

Your modeling is so well done. I have been watching your videos from the start of this build, and I think I am at video 100 at this point. I am learning a lot from watching you. Thank you for all the time you put into this layout to show us how you do your work.

[@boomerdiorama]

Cool, thank you for sharing and supporting the channel.

[@file1man]

I did map out the trackplan on my final o gauge trainboard, an18ft by 22 ft, inside open oval space 5ft by 8 ft. creation. But I gave no thought or time to space required for hills, valleys , rock outcrops, forests and trees, walls, fences, rivers. Im 3 years in, way underestimated the time to build the trainboard and install track . only able to run my trains twice in 3 years. Badly regret not mapping out the scenery plans. So, now I see my error, moving forward. I should have done the outer loop, decorate, run trains, do the inner loop, decorate, run trains do the parking tracks, decorate run trains,do the elevated loop, decorate, run trains. Now you helped me understand. I'm still badly overwhelmed, but I'm sure you would say break it down into pieces, small steps, and enjoy the journey

[@boomerdiorama]

I only model a small doable portion of a local railroad. No need for hills and valleys on a shelf layout except for the edge of things. Cheers.

[@shawnpowell5876]

Great video and tutorial of your layout! I had to watch this twice to make sure I didn't miss anything! The time and detail work you've put forth is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! I'll be glad when we move into our new home so I can get started on my 10'x6'x24" layout. I've got most of everything I need except for the lumber to build the shelf/table. Thanks again for sharing your videos with us along with your time and effort! I'm viewing them from Delmar, Delaware.

Thank you for taking the time to share Ian!

[@williambryant5946]

Looking awesome all together now! The pilings look great. One day you could build a diorama of a barge, maybe a tug too; sitting in the same color water you have on the layout then build a cart to put it on that would match the level of the barge slip on the layout. You could possibly use it like a staging yard. Put cars on it to be delivered to the layout, switch them out with the train, load the cars to be taken away, then roll the barge cart away till its time to interchange cars with the barge again. Not sure if you have the room needed or if the layout is configured for that to work but it's just a though. Maybe when you finish the entire layout and run it for awhile you might want to build this barge cart and redo the edge of the layout at the barge slip to accept this so called barge cart, that is if you get antsy to do some more building one day down the road. You've got plenty building to keep you busy for now.

[@boomerdiorama]

Great idea. As it stands, it would be no problem to apply my carpentry skills in order to facilitate the Ferry approach. ;-)

[@frankhellman6879]

What!? They don't want people just wandering onto the pier and fishing? That a bit unfriendly. ;) It all looks so nice. And you're getting on with new work, too. Most excellent. Meanwhile, I give myself a high five just for getting the benchwork level. 😸

Time well spent getting the bench work level for sure. I never cut corners on bench work. Pays dividends later on. ;-)

Just an inspiration to all modellers - new and old. Also very happy to see some of the models from Glover making it onto River Road - don't forget the Dairy Queen Boomer :) I am actually trying to build a Dairy Queen myself (I have already built the River Road Yard Office which didn't turn out too bad) so looking forward to replicating more of your incredible models and being inspired to create my own using the techniques which you have so freely shared on this channel. GOAT!

[@bobainsworth5057]

If anyone had said to me 2 years ago that I would have spent 2 yrs. taking a model scene construction and painting course I'd have said, " no way, not me, I can't sit still long enough for that, your nuts, " . Well I have and I did and I want more. My only regret is I'm not doing scenery on my layout at this time. I have phase one complete but phase two is where I intend to use what you have taught me. Maybe by years end. I hope I remember enough , I'm already forgetting the materials list. It won't be fun going back through all those videos. I'm definitely not a research kind of guy. All that said , thank you again.

[@boomerdiorama]

You are welcome. I have to go back and review my own content to refresh how I did certain things . . . lol.

[@wilzdart]

As a new subscriber I have been busy looking at your past videos and your work is super! I model in N scale but scenery is basically the same technics just smaller. Weathering is the same thing, which I feel you never have enough technics to draw from. Your wet on wet technic really has opened my eyes to a new way of getting more detail in my weathering. Thanks your insite goes hand and hand with your modeling skills.

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you for the sub! I appreciate it. The wet-on-wet technique takes some getting used to. I love it. Especially when I can chase it with airbrushing or oil pants later. Oils work great over acrylics by the way. No ill effects. Cheers.😁

[@RonsTrainsNThings]

you are so correct that coved backdrop corners are so easy to do that I don't know why everyone doesn't do them.

[@boomerdiorama]

It could be the excitement and impulse to build and lay track right away. Unless you add a curved facia as well you actual loose some footprint.

[@sparky107107]

for sure, what you are saying about having a plan and break it down into chapters, as you call it. when we first get started the thing is, try and try again, to get good at something you first have to start out as being crappy at it. putting the time in sure is rewarding, but I think for the most part, it still has to be fun for each individual. you are a master modeler for sure,

[@boomerdiorama]

Breaking things down into chapters or sections helps to develop the skills required to achieve satisfaction. Call me a master if you want but I am still learning this game like anyone else. Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@boomerdiorama]

Thanks for sharing Rafael. Glad to hear you are enjoying the hobby! There is certainly mush to enjoy. Cheers.

[@vincenthuying98]

Dear Boomer, love how the pilings are coming to life. Absolutely agree on the added value of barge slip. Where the model meets beyond the horizon of the imaginary. Anyhow, on the negative space, plus the transition next to Axton, just maybe, maybe it’s an idea to model part of the Alex Fraser bridge. Not on the prototypical side, but on the left hand side of Axton. On a slight angle, I humbly think it will further the illusion of depth in the particular corner. Also it will naturally enhance the illusion of the road which connects to the parking lot. Further, it will be another feature connecting the model beyond the horizon. Last but not least, really like the idea of the retractable foam part for the transition scene. Definitely will use that on my layout. Have been experimenting with such pop outs. Even with scraps of cheap pieces and cutoffs from packaging styrofoam. A little spray foam in between the crevices and cling film between the layers and the different pieces fit like a glove. Great vid. Very much appreciate what you’re showing all of us!!

[@boomerdiorama]

I have thought about the Alex Fraser bridge feature. Many visual challenges to overcome as one moves from left to right. It works from a forced perspective, but fails from another. I have not out ruled it though, because there are only solutions right? ;-)

[@markhuston9250]

What a fantastic summary Boomer. I do my best to keep up with all your productions. I will be changing from N to HO in the hopes of providing me with a scale easier to handle, model and view. My new layout (shelf) will have similar dimensions to what you have built to date. Can you speak to the size of the turnouts you built? And possibly the radius of your broad curve at the Axton corner? Also very curious what you finally decided to use regarding turnout controls. As always - my most sincere thanks for all you share with us - tangibly and otherwise. M

[@boomerdiorama]

All the turnouts are #8-10 from "FastTrack's" free templates: www.handlaidtrack.com/track-templates Most are curved with a minimum radius of 38 inches. The widest is 42 inches. It's best to download the free paper templates to lay-up the curves in my experience. The prototypical curve is far more important to me than extra tangent. The turnout controls most likely will be manual. I have not decided on the style yet, since they hold position right now with out them.

[@markhuston9250]

Much appreciated. I do intend to build all my turnouts with FastTrack tooling. Strangely, communicating here seems distant considering we both live in North Langley. Thank you very much. Mark

[@Vader15013]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful work with us all. I'm really intrigued as to how you cut your pc board to make your pc ties. Do you think that you could demonstrate your technique for cutting those? I'd really like to learn that.

[@boomerdiorama]

You need a basic table saw. Take two pieces of cheap 1/8 door skin (wood panels) or equivalent, a little larger than the PC board. Spray 3M adhesive on back side of PC board and glue to panel. Do the same with the other side. Basically sandwich the PC board between the scrap panels. Then run it through a table saw (with a zero clearance plate) with a push stick - carefully to the width you desire. You use a zero clearance plate so the strips don't fall down into the table slot. Cut all the strips you need and then peel off the wood panels from the PC board. If you have trouble, soak the strip in Isopropyl Alcohol and they will fall off. Cheers..

[@boomerdiorama]

I love it and fully agree. There was actually a large stack of timbers there as well. Something to do with a track upgrade. ;-)

[@baronjutter]

I'm curious how the barge dock works exactly. The tip of it seems to be able to articulate up and down a tiny bit, but it's fairly short and couldn't move too far up or down without introducing a very steep grade. The rest of it it looks fixed to the concrete supports so can't move. I've seen docks like this but only on the ocean where tides can be pretty big, this is along a river so not as much tide differences to account for?

[@boomerdiorama]

The forward Ramp Section pivots up and down with hydraulic rams which I have not installed yet. The ramp section is hinged at the center concrete slab to adjust for tides and to keep out of the water at high tide. The tides can be severe here as well.

[@baronjutter]

@@boomerdiorama I think I always just underestimate the grades trains can handle when they're only pulling a few cars at a time off a barge or ferry.

[@shaunhuckstepp7531]

Hi boomer you mentioned planning , a lot is over looked at the very start of building a layout long before we even put pen to paper. Firstly the building or room you are going to be creating this masterpiece needs to comfortable enough to work in summer and winter. Four things I would definitely do No 1 Air-conditioning No 2 Insulation and 3 Lighting No Four future proofing the layout eg if you decide to move make sure you can dismantle and take the lay out to the new location Speaking from experience I've done none of these things ,put it done to impatience ,there's nothing more unmotivating working in the hot summer and cold winter months. Yes it all cost money to do that but its worthy getting these four things right from the start ,you can always buy those Locos later on rather than sitting on the shelf. Meanwhile I'm going to make my way up to the no air-conditioned garage where its colder than a witches kiss and work on my layout. What can I say , you live and learn !

[@boomerdiorama]

Being comfortable is mandatory for me especially as one grows older. I built several layouts and many models in an unheated garage in the past. The very thought of that makes me shudder. This is one of the reasons why I chose to build a smaller layout in a small climate controlled room. ;-) Cheers.😁

I subscribed yesterday and have watched some of your videos. I've been weathering rolling stock with washes made from acrylic craft paint and windshield washer fluid over a matt lacquer base. However, I'm eager to try washes made from Vallejo Model Air and water as you have used. My era is circa 1962 so the weathering isn't as severe as these days, but even mild weathering makes such a difference. Also, I've been painting trucks with what's left of my Polly S stock, but that will soon be gone. Do the Tamiya XF series paints adhere to the Derlin sideframes reasonably well? Do you use a base coat on them? Finally, my layout is HO but only 6 x 1 feet, so I find your layout very inspirational. Thanks for sharing all your hard work and great skills. Cheers from Wisconsin!

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you for the sub!. Delrin plastic will always be a problem if you plan handle the subject. I use Tamiya on Delrin Plastic applied with the airbrush. Then I dull coat. The trick is to apply the paint heavy enough as a jacket clinging to the Delrin shape - and then, try not to handle it if you can avoid it. You can get "prep" paint for Delrin, Unfortunately, it builds up too thick when the part or surface is small and detailed. Cheers.

[@andrewpalm2103]

@@boomerdiorama Thanks, Boomer. I will give Tamiya a try. I hand paint trucks with the wheelsets in to avoid any flexing after the paint is on. I also do it in steps to avoid contamination of the bearings. Cheers.

[@boomerdiorama]

@@andrewpalm2103 Yes. Contamination of the bearing with paint can be a problem. It can cause the dreadful "lurching" at slow operations. I usually mask off the inside journals when I spray them.

Boomer I like your methodology, it’s a shame to ruin all your hard work let alone the costs. You should write a book👍

Hi , I like to keep my modules to 2 foot by 6 foot , makes it easy to get though doors. how about a trailer loading in the parking lot. Now get outside and enjoy this planet.

[@boomerdiorama]

Yes. 2' by 6' is ideal. I thought of this. In hindsight, I could have made the break at the beach-head off the approach abutment. The weather here sucks right now - still in winter. Furthermore, once the sun goes down hyperthermia sets in . . . lol.

Boomer, now that the site office is in place and there are some operations are taking place, you might want to prioritize the addition of the honey pot so there are no accidents along this section of track.
