Moving the Model Railroads | Workbench Wednesday

[@zacharysimon2952]

"The move of Thunder Mesa Studio is officially done!" 🎉 Congratulations!

[@Schmitz3]

You need to make a fancy sign to hang on the Air Conditioner wit all your Air Conditioner answers

[@gearedsteam12]

And make sure the sign says "Air Conditioned for your comfort" :)😄

[@ToyManTelevision]

@@Schmitz3 My uncle claimed he had a sign in a drawer somewhere that read “why are you looking here?“ In situations like this he said he would go get his sign and hang it up. He never did. As a child I was convinced he actually had the sign ! But given that he never hung it up I’m assuming that it was just a fun story.

[@ScaleTrainStation]

Dave, hats off to making that many videos, and thank you! The KZbin gurus don't realize how hard it is to make a video a week when you actually MAKE something, rather than just talk into a camera, and yours are always high quality.

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

Thank you so much

[@CassidysWorkshop]

What a wife. You're a lucky man, Dave. Congrats on the move.

[@OtterCreek]

Congrats on a successful move Dave, hope the new space brings as much or more joy than the last!

[@achb-railway]

Well, that’s an unfortunate location for an air conditioner… Congrats on the move and the 50 videos! Not a chance my layout could be moved intact. Only things I would be re-using are the buildings and rolling stock. Hopefully the trees… Possibly some of my track…

[@RenaTamer1]

'Happy 50th video'... can't wait to see more!

[@rcdriver7442]

What a lot of work, but I'm already looking forward to when everything is moving forward again. Greetings from Germany, Michael. Great job.👍

[@RobertGoslin]

looking forward to seeing how it all gets arranged, in the new space. And a further update on the air conditioner, ha ha. 😁

[@wolfgangpfeilergartenbahnd6530]

It already looks good in the new premises, I wish you the best of luck with the reconstruction.👍👍

[@MikesModelStudio]

Thanks for the update on the air conditioner. I can now move on with my life.

[@justinferg1978]

Congrats on 50 videos in one year!!

[@andyellis4594]

Congrats on the move and a sigh of relief. Now on to the fun stuff.

[@whhsfordian]

Kudos to your wife who was a great trooper in helping with the move!

[@WHJeffB]

Agree... She's pretty awesome to be helping out like she does... My wife wouldn't set foot in my workshop if it meant helping with a project. It's not hostility toward my hobby, or the spending, it's just a general lack of interest.

[@danielbanks7500]

Congrats on the 50 video mark!

[@gardenrailroading]

Amen! Cannot wait to see the new format! BTW, at 50 videos for the year you are doing so much better than me! I only have about 180 videos totally. Love your videos.

[@sammisworkshops3762]

Congrats on 50 and the move, And of course AMEN!

[@donaldraver]

I for one am glad you are keeping the climate maker now you can add wind and heat to your desert layout for that total Thunder Mesa open house experience. Congratulations on the fifty videos. Your ability to tell a story and make it interesting is what keeps us coming back. Thanks Dave

[@TOzzy_]

Love the recurring AC updates. I would love for it to be a running gag 😂😂

[@loispadgett6306]

Amen🎉 Your wife is a good sport to help on moving the layouts. Give her anything she asks. Excited to see what you do next. GOD BLESS 🚂💕🚂💕🚂💕🚂💕

[@georgetaylor2875]

Thanks for the update on the air conditioner. It’s the main reason I tune in every week!

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

😆

[@rickvangunten4800]

Amen Brother. Glad to hear things went smoothly. I'm really looking forward to watching the new addition to the layout.

[@jamessullivan5168]

A-men! Two trips for all that isn't bad at all. You are so lucky to have a wife that will help with those instances.

[@CloneRanger]

Dave, you don't have to commit to any of that for us. I watch your videos for the content whenever they come up, no pressure. Remember there's no hurry, it's a hobby...Cheers to #50....🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

Yes, it's a hobby, but for those of us who produce content for a living, it's also a business. There is a certain level you have to maintain in order to keep from disappearing from the YT algorithm. Fortunately, I enjoy both aspects.

[@troyphoto7]

Hey Dave, this is not a comment about the air conditioner comment. I'm impressed you still had all the green boxes, even if stuff didn't always fit. It's sooooo tempting to toss my jewel cases for my N Scales stuff

[@chris_on30_micro_empire]

I like how the sterile white room transformed into a fun looking layout room even with the pieces not in place yet! Things are getting real interesting now. I’m looking forward to what you and your air conditioner have for us next! Lolololol!

[@martytaylor2004]

👏👏👏Bravo! Nice to have that move behind you. It’s been enjoyable to follow along. Now about that a/c unit! Sorry,but the entertainment value is great.😂

[@tompetty1880]

Evidently you’re a Beatles fan? Fantastic. Great channel, thanks for taking the time time and trouble to record, edit and post, it is appreciated.

[@davidpayne2703]

The amazing thing is: 50 interesting videos. THANK YOU

[@natemuska7252]

Congratulations on your 50th video this year. I can't wait to see the new space all set up.

[@bennihulls6851]

Always a gentleman, a good man always walks backwards when caring things with a partner hehe. I can’t wait to see the new space grow into ‘home’

[@ToyManTelevision]

Moving on! 😊😊😊 yeah I don’t know that very many people realize how hard it is to do one video a week we try to do two every week, we generally do a computer craps out or something. But one of them is kind of a regular show and the other ones kind of something we put together as fast as humanly possible. Still so much work! When I look at how much production value you put into yours, I understand just how much work that is. I hope everyone understands how much work that is.

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

Thank you, Dale.That's why I always tell people who are interested in starting their own channel that you need to enjoy the video making process as much as the hobby stuff - Because your going to be spending a lot of time doing it!

[@ToyManTelevision]

@@ThunderMesaStudio yup. It’s building modeling and such, but it’s mostly shooting and editing. It slows modeling to a crawl. Ya gotta love it or it’s not worth doing.

[@fbrailroad4628]

Now that the bump in the road is past you, Dave, you can make the new studio like home. Glad all moved well. It would be nice to see what broke and how you fix it.

[@Murry79]

Amen!!!

[@drifterman469]

Amen brother!

[@jogo-gv3kr]

Wow! How awesome to begin something great !! Keep up the great work!!!

[@dennisfillhart88]

AMEN!

[@williamopalewski651]

Congrats on 50,and glad the move . I hope you took your wife to a nice restaurant afterwards.

[@normanrowe2831]

Amen!

[@milepost465historyhobbies4]

Congratulations! That air conditioner is only going to put out hot air. I’m kidding… that’s inspired me to reorganize my space as well :)

[@gearedsteam12]

Amen Brother

[@richardsweeney197]

Happy 50th video!!! That's great for all of us!!! 😉😃😃 AMEN!!!

[@ChrisK-LTC]

This weeks "Air Conditioning Moment" 🤣

[@chiparooo]

Wow, that made me nervous when you were taking the layouts out the door sideways...Glad it all went well. I can still see the air conditioner so that still has me concerned haha! Thanks for sharing!

[@timothywolleck7628]

Amen

[@caseyvillemodelrailroad3877]

Great vidio, i shutter ta think of moving my Yardlayout, it is about 80% redone into module's, just 25' still hung on the fence.Good luck and stay happy.Thanks for the morning coffee..

[@Grainexpress]

Dave, congratulations on your 50th video! I know it takes a lot of time to edit up one video so we greatly appreciate your efforts. The air conditioner….just kitbash it into a Thunder Mesa building. Make sure to tell your wife we appreciate her patience of the hobby and…well…also putting up with you. 😂 Take care!

[@davidnirtaut40]

Amen and Congrats on 50! I know you are glad the move is done. Besides "Workbench" Wednesdays, I will drop in on your "Air Conditioner" Fridays! 🎉😂

[@jogo-gv3kr]

Wow how awesome!! Have a great time making!!! Thanks for all your tips!!!

[@glenhaasdyk2081]

Congradulations on number 50

[@PaulB19677]

Amen....🙏

[@greatnorthernrailwaytother4711]

Haha. If you are never going to use the A/C unit you could cover it with a whit cardboard box so that “new” viewers never see it. 😂, cheers Peter from downunder.

[@rathbaster]

Congratulations on 50 videos!

[@qoolbru]

Congrats on the layouts move.

But he did lose points for making her walk backwards up the ramp at least twice! Lol

[@lynnmccurdythehdmmrc2561]

A-men!

[@madeinyorkshire52]

Just as well you had a willing and obviously strong wife/helper to assist! I’m currently building my first ever model railroad layout - On30 of course - “Black Dog Mine” south-western hard rock US themed. I’ve had it suspended from cords on the ceiling of my man cave which is a partitioned section of our double garage; with a hand winch to raise or lower it. HOWEVER, as it’s tucked in a corner it can be awkward to get at things (like derailed or stopped locomotives), so I’ve decided to move it into the open part of our garage. I did build in on four detachable legs so can be self standing, but it seems unbelievably heavy so I’m going to have to recruit some assistance and hope that nothing gets wrecked in the move process! 🧨⛏🧨⛏🇬🇧

[@mobiuspenguin]

I don’t know Dave, at this point I’m going to miss seeing that AC unit once its covered up!

[@WheelchairGuyHobbyChannel]

Hey Dave! What’s up with that air conditioner in the wall? 😅 I’m kidding!

[@pacificcoastminiatures]

Great to see the move went well. You should just stick a towel or box over the AC so you don't have to talk about it anymore. But then people will want to know what's underneath. Can't win, I guess.

[@pacificcoastminiatures]

Oh and congrats on 50 videos this year! Amazing since you're doing everything yourself.

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

It's always something!

[@Whipstorm]

Are you going to address the open space above the rolling door or is that a non-issue?

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

I'll get to it

[@paulwalter2590]

Cool and all, but what's going on with that air conditioner? 😂

[@mapit07]

Dave, I’m interested in adding ambient sound to various areas on my layout. Have you ever done this?

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

Yes, on all the layouts. Check out the systems available from Fantasonics Engineering. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2qllq2EpaeBaqMsi=qLLEswhZbHIrBpsd

[@mapit07]

@@ThunderMesaStudio Thanks Dave!

[@davevan8864]

Are you going to remove that A/C unit??? It puts out hot air....... SORRY......I had not asked yet and was feeling left out. Scary moving the layouts!!!! thx

[@RobertGoslin]

😁

[@rapcreeperproductions3269]

Put a card board/paper sign saying "Do not use" on the air conditioning before it becomes a running joke on the channel.

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

Too late I think

[@jeffmurphree2937]

Amen!
