Nice to see you back in action! Genesis. A very fitting word for your first video back. Love your work, car looks fantastic.

cheers Mark! haha you won't believe this but i copy the graffiti from prototype photos I find on instagram so when I was doing the genesis graffiti on this cryotrans reefer I was thinking "this looks very familar" but I couldn't put my finger on it, well it turns out I've already done this exact same graffiti on another cryotrans reefer of mine about a year ago 😂 so now I've got two cars with identical graffiti! cheers for stopping by dude 😎🤙

I do make my own train cars and freight loads and bridges and engines. My favorite engine is very bottom heavy and free rolling. I convert some HO scale shells into wooden railroad items. My way of doing this would save electricity and money. No need for cords, outlets, wiring, or cleaning equipment for the layout. If you don't have the space, money, or the tools you need, I would recommend making some HO scale shells into wooden railroad items with whittle shortline railroad wheels and getting a cardboard box and gorilla super glue to make sure that the floor is layered with 2 or 3 layers for strength and make braces for the floor to be glued in the bottom and then screw in the 4 or 6 wheeled bogies to the correct places and make sure that they are loose enough for the bogies to pivot or swivel but the screws should not wobble and come undone. I am not trying to tell you what to do, I am just trying to be helpful. Cory Mears

Nice job, mate! I worked on a Cryo-Trans reefer in my last video. Did a very similar oil wash. But my graffiti is store-bought. 😮 Take care - Bill.
@TheSteelRoad Жыл бұрын
hey Bill, awesome mate I'll check that out I'm pretty sure I have it in my watch later videos so I'll be watching it when I get a chance. These cryotrans reefers seem to be pretty rare I purchased 3 of them from "head end hobbies" on instagram but I've never seen them anywhere else, take care mate 🤙

Man that's a cool working technic. Had an idea of putting on Zebra or Jersey Cow stripes on a white UP reefer car myself.
@TheSteelRoad Жыл бұрын
Cheers man, haha that would definitely be a unique look, there's actually a photo online where someone painted a whole loco in tiger stripes, should be able to find it on Google. What you could do instead of using masking tape is use blu-tac. I also build and paint military kits and I use blu-tac to paint camouflage patterns, works really well 🤟
