Great model and nicely done. With all those separate engine covers it would make a good subject to have them open and mechanics/engineers working on the engine. Can't wait to see the diorama

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you

[@christelloiseau8450]

Hello, Today I made my first model kit. You have inspired me to make model's, thanks.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you,it was great change of pace .

[@NorthViewModelShop]

+Andy's Hobby Headquarters I did a slide show on the parts tree over on my channel. Would you be able to check it out and give us your feedback on the kit for others to read?

[@ellispawson663]

Well Done !!!

@@AndysHobbyHeadquarters very good ! Made my day. I dont have your skills. . . But i would like to build one. What about shipping? With best wishes from Germany

[@andrewculkowsky7537]

Great build! I might consider buying a train kit!

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

it really is a lot of fun, I'm really enjoying it

[@guylo88]

1812 overture for the win in this video.

[@thomasjanecek4779]

can you do a video about how you paint your German soldiers

[@RonUSMC]

I just watched "The Train", 1964 with Burt Lancaster. I think I saw this locomotive in it at the railyard.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

that's cool

[@enflippy7321]

Very nice Andy! cant wait to see the diorama done :D thats a big one but looks like its going to be very cool!

Great video Andy, great Modelkit, i like it👍🏻

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you

[@ArmourEmpire]

Nice change of pace, and something a bit different. . Going to make for a very interesting dio. Kutgw

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

I am really having fun doing something a little different to change things up (no tracks or road wheels lol ) and the train is cool because of its size . Thanks for watching

[@9thSapper]

awesome job. would really like to see some of the photo etch work being done though.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

yeah I'm sorry, when I was putting it on I had to be so close I was constantly in front of camera , so I deleted the film

[@9thSapper]

i understand andy. have you considered making or already have made a tutorial type video on this? maybe something with tips and tricks and showcasing some of the tools you use and sell.

[@awesomeness2357]

I'm about to get HK models 1/32 scale B17 e/f so im really looking forward to it :3

[@andrealoveridge5349]

that looks awsome

[@reconranger1370]

Looks good Andy, I especially like the variation in color tones. Nice work see you soon! Joe

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you Joe

[@resin_Hd]

A very good episode of something different. New camera? The vid quality was outstanding.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

no still my iphone I did bump up frame rate to 60

[@resin_Hd]

Oh I saw it said 720p60, but didn't know what the 60 meant. ;) Keep up the good work.

[@jonathanamy169]

Great video and great diorama Andy! I would love to do a similar build.... It's just a shame the loco doesn't have a big diesel engine to be built with the kit!

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

yeah that would be nice

[@Каналостендовоммоделизме-Проже]

Nice work!)

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

thank you

[@benij2431]

After you build the diorama you should build a tiger 2

[@timothyrothenberger1202]

Great work Andy! Are you going to do a build review on the Object 268?

[@robbleeker4777]

TIP. !!! ... In case you want to build your diorama around it you should keep in mind.....THESE shunters were used primarily used in explosive locations of the Wehrmacht ( refineries , depots and ammunition depots ), but also for ports , airfields..With this said, I really doubt they were used to transport tanks from and to the battlefield... (Germany is not known for their merchant fleet during WW2 so therefor I do not think the Germans would ship their equipment by boat).. I reckon they would use steam locomotives for that job...

[@Андрей.И-е4ц]

best of the best.круто

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you

[@michaelcampin1464]

And 1812 Overture in the background

[@ДмитрийКоренюк-ь2ы]

Hi, what brand did you use the airbrush and compressor?

[@mr.polemikus4933]

1:48 at this stage of building he should have already given a coat of primer and base color inside the frame and especially over the side frame before the mounting of wheels, rods, counterweight....

[@Cameron4077]

Does the kit include figures?

[@sholomrabin2011]

hey Andy, just built that kit. it was a lot of fun to make. my first go with PE. do you have a vid on how you bend and use PE.

[@crimsonfury3903]

Do you have a Tiger 1 with transport tracks? It would look really cool transporting that beast of a tank.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

I plan on building the heavy rail car for a tiger soon

[@crimsonfury3903]

Awesome! Can't wait to see it.

[@TheSteamLocomotive]

Do you currently have these kits and other 1/35 railroad model kits in stock?

[@thesteamenginelover1974]

are the wheels free roll?

[@Burla11]

Hi Andy First I wanted to say you're doing great videos. I often see them I can. Keep it up. But I have a question. In your vidoes with the train you tell us what from a diorama but I see the train in your shop without a diorama. Where is the diorama ?! I'm very curious about how it looks;) Greetings from Germany

[@haydenboag7305]

im a huge fan andy you have helped my model building in so many ways but please can we mix up the back ground music it seems small but bach or what ever is your favourite grates me so badly

[@williehardy8594]

Have you ever done any of the MRAP models?

[@Alerrecks]

I think that with some simple modification, you could have left the axles, wheels, and rods free rolling to move.

[@personman906]

Have you tried using FloryModels washes to define recessed detail? I've found that a black wash applied with an airbrush over a glosscoat and then removed using a paper towel and cotton swabs followed by a flat coat works perfectly and adds an additional level of realism.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

no I haven't but I'll look in to it thanks

[@JasonJohnson-yu8zf]

in fact you would find it a lot better if you didn't bother with the brush in the lid at all, use a 00 paint brush for better results

[@Kevin-ev7hw]

Andy, That would be cool if you Built another Locomotive and put a Deasil engine into it from one of the Bulldozers that's on the market. Just my ,02 cents. Good build on a 1/35th scale stock.

[@christttrains]

it's DIESEL

[@goclunker]

how close is this to g scale track?

[@jojoe469]

hi andy love your videos man.can u please do a trumpeter stuka ju 87r in 1/32 scale please joe.australia.

[@oliverbrickdawson8915]

how do you cut the extra plastic of the pieces from the sprue because the pieces in you video look so fine do you ise a file of hobby knife

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

I use sprue cutters and then sand the part

[@fercholan3]

Buenas tardes. agame el favor donde lo puedo comprar

[@SOP.D]

I'd love to build the kit , but what do you think the build is like? Is it more like building a car or a armor piece? Not that it matters, just wondering.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

still like a armor piece

[@arcitejack]

Great vid but I couldn’t watch it all...do the wheels move?

[@ualuuanie]

Do you encounter your bottle of glue thicken and becomes sluggish? You glue brush harden or get stiff? Do you throw them away and get a new bottle?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

the bottom of bottle does get cloudy and doesn't seem to work as fast , I'll usually turn the last part of bottle in to brush cleaner , works well.

[@ualuuanie]

Andy's Hobby Headquarters ok thanks :)

[@BarryWinner2075]

My Trumpeter WR 360 locomotive kit didn't come with decals, I guess they don't include them in the kit.

[@jodahema]

you have store on line

[@uwantsumfuk2500]

Hi Andy, I love your models and this diorama is looking great! But can you please upload in a higher resolution in future videos? (It's a real shame not being able to see the photo-etch and all the weathering in detail)

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Hi it is upload in high resolution but it takes about a half a hour for youtube to render and get it in high res , try back in a few

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

it just bumped to 720 will be at 1080 in a few minutes

[@uwantsumfuk2500]

Ah, looking great! Cheers Mate! :)

[@justindu6763]

I have a question what is the glue you use?

[@christttrains]

You clearly can see it on the left side of the model as he assembles it, TAMIYA

[@robbleeker4777]

A train ?? Alright, something different.. I think they call these type of trains: "shunters".... It would had been nice if the kit would had given you the option to leave the doors open...I also like to add that I do not think that this type of train did ever, excisted... I tried to Google but I could only find a reference to the C14 instead.... I think that Trumpeter made a bit of a f-up there

[@claytonmcclain182]

really great build, like watching this come to life. one thing. what do you think of that kit? I want to build an engine, but there so expensive, I need to make sure to get the best one.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

there was some small fit areas and then the road wheels I mention not fitting track at first but over all its a good kit and looks great in person , its also good size (big) compared to other vehicles.I would also like to do the big locomotive as well , some day, thanks for watching

[@williamsquires3070]

(@1:47) - I have this kit, but on mine, the “L”-shaped piece he installed just then - on mine, anyway - was badly warped to the point where it would not sit flat against the side frame piece with the suspension pieces. I intended to take it out to “fix” it, but then ended up losing it. Does anyone have the dimensions of that piece from their kit?

[@henryschmitt7577]

We're is your hobby shop located? I would really like to check it out.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Hi, it is in Glendale AZ ANDY'S HOBBY HEADQUARTERS 15224 N 59TH ave Glendale AZ 85306

[@shawnstreeter236]

Great job. You didn't use them on this build but I was wondering if you were going to be selling the new Vallejo weathering items on your website?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

No Yet because they are flammable and I use only usps , but of you want I can send them to you just contact me at the store email me [e-mail]

[@jacobswallow4769]

Finish the icm d-day diorama

[@andrewculkowsky7537]

He sold the icm 3. Check out the sunken road diorama and you'll understand.

[@isaiahmariedth4921]

could you make this a roller and use it as a full functioning locomotive?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

you might be able to but it woulds take a lot of work

[@isaiahmariedth4921]

+Andy's Hobby Headquarters It might be worth it I've been wanting to build my own locomotives and create a garden railroad one model at a time but I really enjoy modeling so I want the best of both worlds

[@mikel9567]

Buy an O Gauge locomotive kit then.

[@colinjohnston8519]

Surely that would depend on you and your skill? Not much point in asking a stranger if they could do something as a mesure of whether you could..

[@jakedarling7549]

I just had to Google what you meant by a 'switcher'... Turns out it's just the American term for a shunter

[@napadaanlng69]

Trumpeter should make the WR 360 C14 locomotive instead, that one pulls the leopold gun and is slightly larger than this C12 locomotive.

[@michaelmcginley1875]

Yeehaw

[@asiaskalska3462]

Min.: 16:16 Czy nie lepiej zastąpić plastikowe siedzenie kawałkiem forniru (veneer)? Prawdziwe naturalne drewno, a nie plastik.

[@willabe566]

Asia Skalska Nie.

[@jjab99]

Fantastic job as always, well done. Would it be worth painting the rims of the wheels silver to mimic the real train wheels or would that be too difficult to do a convincing job on? I think if it was not 100% smooth, it might look worse rather than the current colour. Anyone got any thoughts on this one?????

[@kaiharamzak4810]

Omg! Sorry, but forget the colour "german grey"! This colour has a greenish cast. That's just for tanks or another military vehicles, but never for german trains at WWII. The train vehicles all coloured at the first time in "iron-grey" (RAL 7011). On this lokomotive-type was all in iron-grey, except the wheels and just the INLAYS (!!!) of the coupling rods. There were coloured in "fire-red" (RAL 3000). The coupling rods outside the inlays are blank steel, just like the wheel-axis faces and the wheel treads. Another kind of colouring was all in "black-grey" (dark grey) (RAL 7021), inclusive the wheels and coupling-rod inlays. This colour was used from 1943 to 1945. Only the visible step sides and handles (except the ends) were in white (RAL 9010) at the black-grey-version. The driver cabin was inside in "light grey" (RAL 7035), the hand wheels of the valves inside the driver cabin were in fire-red. The seat was in leather-brown (RAL 8027) and the rest in simply black (RAL 9005).

[@patrykkaszubowski2841]

plis tanks-maus

[@ericp9990]

Great video and build Andy. I was wondering, what did you use and how did you glue the two painted surfaces together? I.e. Glueing the cab onto the chassis.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Tamiya glue will work it will go right thru paint just have to be careful not to damage painted areas, super glue works as well.

[@williamsquires3070]

Has anyone tried motorizing this kit? I could engineer the parts in CAD, but I simply have no way to manufacture them. And I have a 1/35 scale German Panzerjagerwagen kit from Trumpeter that would look nice behind this engine! There are kits out there for G-scale (garden railway) trains that let you add batteries, an R/C-style transmitter, and a speaker for realistic sound. If you take the side-rods off, this could easily be kitbashed into an American prototype from Plymouth or Baldwin Locomotive Works, though you’d have to fashion American-style knuckle couplers then, and remove the European-style buffers. For reference, O-gauge is 1:48, and G-gauge is 1:20 (IIRC), so 1:35 sits uncomfortably somewhere in between - yikes!

[@DrGonzo62]

This is not a well engineered kit. It has a lot of fitting issues that our buddy Andy didn't really talk about. I guess that slapping it together and dipping it in a can of paint might be good enough for some. This was my first Trumpeter kit and a large scale 1/35 kit as well, and I wasn't liking it at all. After several decades of building scale models this was pretty much a turn off. But then again - I had to pay for this kit and didn't get it for free to rave about it.

[@MrMcKane]

What kind of issues? I was thinking of getting this as a gift for my father.

[@oldbaldfatman2766]

Feb. 18, 2018----Too bad Trumpeter still hasn't come out with an American locomotive, boxcars, etc. during the 1940's. Imagine if they had boxcars, passenger cars and flat cars available....dioramas would be endless for military/civilian themes thru the 1950's.

[@marijnkieboom3506]

its a boi

[@andyrichardsvideovlogs8835]

Sorry, Andy but it's over-weathered. These locomotives at the very most were only 5 years old by the end of the war. That effect looks like 30 years of wear. Shunters (switchers) were really well looked after by their crews and still are in Europe. They do not look that scruffy, especially in Germany. The cab interior and control desk would be in shades of grey in a diesel . The seeming "unevenness" in the wheel sets is correct. It gives articulation and allows the loco to negotiate very tight curves.

[@josemarianietoiserne8851]

Tu eres la típica persona que en mi país los modelistas llamamos "cuenta tornillos" solo criticáis el color, las insignias el envejecido, Todo, y nunca enseñas vuestras grandes obras maestras llenas de detalles y pintura perfecta hasta el último tornillo, das risa, publica tu tus trabajos y luego hablas
