HO Scale Switching Layout Tour 3/11/21

[@johnathanlewis2049]

Small modules are great for doing scenery techniques and display some rolling stock and a locomotive

[@TheSteelRoad]

Definitely man, and if ya decide to scrap it and design a new one its not to big of a task

[@bonanzadriver7261]

I truly enjoy your posts. They are informative yet not too long. Excellent editing keeps the subject moving and makes me wanting more. See you on the next update!

[@TheSteelRoad]

Thanks my dude im glad you enjoy the style of my videos 😎 see ya on the next one mate!

[@derekalexander4030]

You have built a beautiful module brother. I’ve commented before about the realistic look of the water pipe area and it’s just as impressive seeing it again. I’m looking forward to the new module and hope you heal quickly. Even doing work at the desk is a pain. Elevate it or it starts pounding. Nice build.

[@TheSteelRoad]

Thanks Derek I appreciate that! Yeah it sure is a pain, the only time its comfortable is when elevated so I can only do about 1 hour sessions at the desk but its algood 😎 cheers for stopping by brother!

[@harperlarry49]

Very nice update. The layout module is really looking good. I like the changes in the road and drainage ditch. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheSteelRoad]

Thanks Larry im glad you liked the update mate 😎👍

[@Mercatoyd]

Absolutely love this update. You have such a mastery of scenery and weathering techniques. I like your take on "life" around the tracks. As I've said earlier in another video.. you have such precision with writing on bldgs and railcars.. This has to be a part of real life for you.. I have to get busy on my own layout.. too much time has passed with zero progress.. your video is boost for me to get it in gear and make something happen. Have a great week and enjoy that new computer.

[@TheSteelRoad]

Hey thanks mate I really appreciate that comment! I spent a few years working on the railways so I got to see a lot of track side scenery and ive always been a huge fan of the way graffiti looks on rail cars and old industrial buildings so thats alwsys inspired me 😎 im glad my videos have motivated you and im looking foward to seeing your layout progress! Take care mate - kiwi

[@SouthDown]

Great layout tour, amazing work done. That road looks superb and the paving in the oil facility is quite nice. The background buildings are superb. And definitely a container yard. Hope your leg is better.

[@TheSteelRoad]

Thanks mate im glad you like it! After some thought i am going to do a container yard, more of s storage yard with some containers stacked up surrounded by a fence to give the impression it goes off in the distance 😎 and yep the legs slowly on the mend cheers mate

[@brtree74]

Great update. Layout is looking awesome, some amazing scenes and realism. Looking forward to seeing the second module when you get into that. Brilliant work man.

[@TheSteelRoad]

Thanks bro im glad you enjoyed it! Footage came out a bit blury for some reason so ill get that sorted 😎👍

[@mandbhomestead]

Looking good, thanks for the tour. Sorry about the foot. Hope you have a fast recovery. Thanks for sharing and stay safe. Ken

[@TheSteelRoad]

Thanks Ken I appreciate that mate and im glad you enjoyed the tour! It came out a bit blury for some reason, may have been the screen protector on my phone, ill look into it. Stay safe mate 😎

[@jimstrainsandstuff9539]

All the small details and scenes are tying together very well. A salvage/scrap yard would look good the at the back there too. They have lots of scope for fine detail. cheers, Jim

[@TheSteelRoad]

Cheers Jim! Im really happy with how its coming together, I actually did think of doing a salvage yard there but I dont have a track to serve the gondolas but im defiantly going to try and squeeze in a scrap yard on the second module 😎

[@paulkirkmanMYTRAINS]

I like the guys behind the scratch building. I thought you were joking about the body in the water.... she there !!!!! Very cool.

[@TheSteelRoad]

Thanks man! I like to add a few little scenes for a bit of fun and yep we've got a body! 😂, ive got some police figures so ill eventually make a little crime scene,...scene lol thanks for stopping by 😎👍

[@dacuzzz]

awsome update... nice scratch build... for my 2 cents...i 'd leave the tanker facility where it is ..it's already done 👍😎... thx 4 sharing.. vinny

[@TheSteelRoad]

Thanks Vinny! 😎👍

[@lowcountryrailroad7701]

The homeless scenes are awesome. Module looks great thanks for sharing

[@TheSteelRoad]

Hey thanks man, somthing a bit different lol cheers for stopping by 😎

[@worldhistoryminiatureshous9757]

Great work mate . The dirty water zone and the building zone look excellent .

[@TheSteelRoad]

Thanks man much appreciated! 😎🤙

[@spbloodynose]

Great level of detail. Awesome module. Thanks for sharing

[@TheSteelRoad]

Cheers brother im glad you like it! 😎

[@Shelfandtabletoplayouts00gauge]

Hope the leg/foot’s better! Marvellous piece of modelling 👏🏻 will watch the rest now👍👍👍

[@TheSteelRoad]

Cheers dude much appreciated! Yep all on the mend now 😎

[@ThePeejRR]

Brilliant layout! Very nicely done, something to strive for. Cheers!!

[@TheSteelRoad]

Hey thanks man! Glad you liked it 😊👍

[@sor_cnhagersvillesubdivisi7803]

Module is looking good!!! Loving the details so far! Can’t wait for more updates!

[@TheSteelRoad]

Thanks dude! Im glad your loving it and definitely plenty more to come 😎 thanks for stopping by 👍😊

[@MyFingerLakesRailwayLayout]

You got a good thing going there. Try to resist the temptation to add too many structures. The eye needs some empty space (trees and fields and empty lots.) I broke my foot a few years ago. Took a long time to heal. Good luck!

[@TheSteelRoad]

Thanks mate and yep thats great advice, as they say less is more so ill definitely try not to clutter the scene. Ouch that would have been painful! I hope its algood now 😎 thanks for stopping by mate

[@jaybird111207]

Great update and amazing detail for a small section especially the dead body 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤣 Look forward to seeing your progress. Hope your foot/leg feels better quickly!! Thanks for sharing and stay safe. Happy modeling!! -Jason

[@TheSteelRoad]

Hey Jason bro! Haha yeah I thought it would be a fun little scene, somthing a bit different! Cheers for the message man ill be sure to take it easy! Happy modelling brother 😎🤙🍻

[@jaybird111207]

@@TheSteelRoad same to you brother!! 🤘🤙😎

[@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267]

Layout looks fantastic, great update

[@TheSteelRoad]

Cheers James! Slowly getting there and I cant wait to start on the next module!

[@williambryant5946]

Everything is looking excellent. Very talented modeler you are. I'd say warehouse over container yard but I'm biased on that because I hate containers and container trains being that they replaced boxcars. There's not enough room for a container yard either along the back there. Just my thoughts. Good video and hope to see you posting more often now that you've got the new set up. 👍

[@TheSteelRoad]

Thanks for the nice comment mate 😊, yeah I was thinking a warehouse too as I love scratching. If I was going to do the container yard it would have just been for looks, more of a small storage yard really, and yep plenty more vids on the way! 😎👍

[@Crookedriverandeasternrr]

Looking really good. I’m a container fan. However I almost think a large warehouse would fit better in that area. And the dead body is hilarious. Lol

[@TheSteelRoad]

Hey thanks Dave I hope your well! Yeah im leaning towards a large warehouse too I think, with some overgrown bushes around it, 😂 haha yeah its a fun little scene somthing a bit different! Thanks for stopping by mate

[@ericp6612]

Thanks for the update! Layout looks great!

Cheers Eric im glad you enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by 😎🍻

[@georgiasunbelt]

Great work…love all the detail you put into your layout…the drunken guy scene is cool…a little behind in watching videos so, trying to catch up

[@TheSteelRoad]

Hey Anthony! Thanks man im glad they are helpful for you 😎👍

[@trentonlee9700]

Awesome it looks great. You do great work. Can't wait to see the expansion. Sorry bout the foot that's got to suck.

[@TheSteelRoad]

Hey thanks man i appreciate that! Yeah its a bit of bad luck but a good chance to do some projects at the hobby desk 😎 cheers for stopping by dude

[@mattw9667]

looking good bro. Fill in some of that blank area with some big trees and veg. Cheers.

[@TheSteelRoad]

Cheers brother! Yep will definitely do that man, thanks for stopping by 😎👍

[@mysticrailroad]

sweet work with the figures. grass and foliage look great! sorry about your leg. nice PC. great vid!

[@TheSteelRoad]

Hey John! Im glad you liked it and thanks for the nice comment brother should be on the mend soon enough 😎💪

[@giulius7176]

I really like the layout you have… the scenery is really bringing it to reality… I especially like the culvert. Nice work…. Looking forward to starting my own layout one day….

[@TheSteelRoad]

Cheers man im glad you enjoyed the video! Ah dude ull have so much fun building a layout of your own, any ideas on what your thinking of doing?

[@giulius7176]

Oh yes......It will be based on the New York Harbor car floating operations....I have been fascinated with the idea for a number of years now...I have big plans and hopes for it....I am helping my good friend Roland build his layout and if your interested, check us out , at 2dudes&atrain

[@TheSteelRoad]

@@giulius7176 damn that sounds epic man! And unique too, I just searched for it but nothing came up, can you send me a link?

[@giulius7176]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/noOcd6t3j8SGmdE Episode 1 of Roland's logging layout....We are on a pause at the moment but have several videos ready to be edited and I am looking forward to getting back to working on the railroad!!!!!!

[@TheSteelRoad]

Awesome cheers bro ill check it out and sub! I bet your looking foward to it, once ya do it once its hard to walk away from it!

[@yaakovukrainiannewsbackup]

very good . thanks for sharing, greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

[@TheSteelRoad]

Thank you I'm glad you liked it 😎

[@mountblessingrailroad6103]

Great update 👍👍

[@TheSteelRoad]

Thanks mate! 😎👍

[@ReidsTrainStuff]

Layouts looking awesome mate, that little scene with the water flowing from the pipe is sweet, sorry about your foot, I know what it's like having a work injury, tore ligaments in both shoulders end of 2019, couldn't do just one, had to do a proper job 🤣,👍Reid

[@TheSteelRoad]

Cheers Reid! Appreciate it mate, yeah ligaments, tendon, nerve injuries are terrible, almost better to have a broken bone! Hope ya shoulders healed up now and yep no sense doing half a job 😂 I like the concrete scene you did on your latest video too mate, turned out great!

[@ReidsTrainStuff]

@@TheSteelRoad Both shoulders are good now, thanks, was really happy with how it came out, doing a lot of first time trying stuff on this rehab, so there's bound to be some stuff ups lol

[@TheSteelRoad]

@@ReidsTrainStuff good to hear mate! And nothing wrong with that, little imperfections add to the story and realism of a layout i reckon! 😎🍻

[@k4productions]

Impressive, well done! 👍

[@TheSteelRoad]

Thanks dude much appreciated! 😎

[@SilverFoxSP707]

Amazing job bro!

[@TheSteelRoad]

Cheers brother! 😎

[@MMRails]

0:37 Oh! Shed his pants. That’s what you said right? Can’t tell with the accent. Love your layout. But you already knew that. Nice new computer. Might need one soon too. Video editing is tough on a slow laptop. You might find mine in your water/culvert scene eventually. 😀

[@TheSteelRoad]

Hey Mark! yeah thats definitely what I said 😂 my missus can barely understand me somtimes too lol and yes sir, laptops just aren't made for editing! Hang on a second..your laptop thrown in my culvert..im getting ideas for a little scene 🤔 cheers for stopping by brother!!

[@MakeItWithCalvin]

If you changed the propane supplier to lumber, maybe move it to the "unknown" area 🤔. I feel like that is lesser modeled but still a cool industry.

[@TheSteelRoad]

Yeah thats a good point, only problem is theres no track running in there and id like it to be a rail served industry, cheers for stopping by dude 😎

[@MakeItWithCalvin]

@@TheSteelRoad Fair point could be their "retail" operation or the competition. Ah well, bloody good job overall tho!

[@TheSteelRoad]

Yeah thats true man, im actually out on the layout now testing it out too see what it looks like 😀 cheers man

[@nathandelay]

Awesome

[@TheSteelRoad]

Cheers dude!

[@mikewoodbury7248]

The homeless guy that pooped himself is superb.Awesome layout tour.

[@TheSteelRoad]

Haha cheers Mike! Much appreciated mate 😎👍

[@ronduz1281]

[@johnathanlewis2049]

How long and wide is this module?

[@TheSteelRoad]

this was 2 meters long and 600 mm wide, it's however been given away now and I'm currently working on a new layout, stay tuned for an upcoming video 🙌
