Making The Cliffside Route

OMG ENTERPRISING ENGINE I'VE LOVED YOUR VIDS SINCE I WAS NINE

[@TheTrainModeller]

I suuuuuuurrrreeee did!

[@Calebtrain]

Truly an amazing build, and the real life inspiration behind it just makes it that much cooler. A great insight into your process of creation, and the new footage is looking soooo good. Fantastic video! Eccles stole the show, though.

[@TheTrainModeller]

Thank you very much, Caleb. Eccles does tend to do that, she's modest about it though... :o

[@ThomasTheorist]

very cool! this really makes me want to film some stuff with expanding foam haha

[@TheTrainModeller]

Expanding foam is really good fun. Just horrible if you touch it before it has set. It will get everywhere and ruin everything.

[@zakthemrconductor5920]

once again you have raised the level of storytelling and creativity of Thomas in one set

[@TheTrainModeller]

Thank you so much :D

[@The1966Kids]

Jaw on the floor. Your stories and sets never fail to set the bar of what a model train KZbinr can do. As always keep up the excellent work!

Thank you so much :)

[@calebc.2290]

Bro the atmosphere in these videos that involves these cliffs are just wow. I am just in aww at this. you pull at my heart strings and make amazing feels that leave me at a loss for words. I cannot wait to see the next video with oliver. the set design is so great and more often than not I am always in disbelief that this is in OO and not gauge 1. the engines feel quite large with the scale you’ve accomplished. remarkable work.

[@TheTrainModeller]

Thank you so much for your comment, this really means a lot. I can't wait to finally finish the episode! :)

[@thesudriana016]

The amount of dedication and inspiration really shows how far you've come to make the models go really well on camera, as well as creating action scenes. The Great Fall incident you talked about is something even I never knew.

[@TheTrainModeller]

Thank you so much. I'm always trying to push myself, improving on each video where I can!

[@railwayroundhouse3792]

The detail included and the process in how you constructed the cliffs and shrubbery is not only well explained and demonstrated, but the results honestly look perfect! You’ve really hit it out of the park yet again with your modelling talent :)

[@TheTrainModeller]

Thank you very much, I hope to make more of these in the future!

[@visionarylocomotiveworks9703]

Lucas, you captured the real cliffside. Th-that's beautiful. I could cry.

[@TheTrainModeller]

Thank you so much ;D

[@RibbonRailProfuctions]

Holy hell the production you put into this is bananas, good job

[@TheTrainModeller]

Thank you!

[@yotemotivo]

You have outstanded me and soo many other people and it looks soo real that if you put model trains that are actual engines it would look like a real railway if you wouldn't say it was a set. And this is the reason why the comunity has been standing strong and will never be forgoten beacause fans like you make people realize more and more that dificult to create content about this It makes It look a bit easy for such a BIG cliff and I suggest and probably many others that you should keep making this incredible content. Pls make more of this stuff its amazing and majestic to look at. -Support from your dear viewers.

[@TheTrainModeller]

Thank you so much for your comment. I definitely want to make more big sets like this, it's just hard finding the time. The cliffs were definitely the most ambitious set I've tackled while making these videos!

[@DeriansArchive]

can’t wait to see the final thing! Such amazing skill

[@TheTrainModeller]

Thank you!

[@BanterousEngines]

It looks amazing man, this is genuinely the level I want to reach in terms of film making. The detail on the set is insane! Can't wait for the videos bro! Keep em coming!

[@TheTrainModeller]

Thank you so much, I very much plan to!! :D

[@EndYouTubeShorts_]

Man, I like this!

[@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY]

Brilliant video. It's great to see how the scenery is put together and hear the background behind the story. There's obviously hours of work, and planning goes into creating the video. It takes my grandson hours to create his stop-motion animation videos for his Dylington Model Railway channel, especially his School Holidays video. We are looking forward to seeing your next update...cheers James and Dylan 🙂👍

[@TheTrainModeller]

Thank you very much, definitely a lot of work, but I hope it paid off! Best of luck to your grandson with his stop-motion animation videos and layout. I've just recently subscribed and will be following along as the layout is worked on. All the best :)

[@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY]

@@TheTrainModeller thank you, I hope you enjoy his future videos 🙂👍

[@Orlandov12]

this was great- ive recently started using expanding foam as well, lovely stuff it is. One note i had that you might find useful going forward is to mix the water with a bit of soap or vinegar or even isopropyl alcohol. this will lower the surface tension of water so the raindrops wont be so big when they settle on the models and shouldnt make big out of scale water droplets. cant wait to see the final result!

[@TheTrainModeller]

I never knew that about the water! I'm definitely going to try that out next time I'm filming with the rain. I really appreciate that! Thank you :)

[@MadFrogFilms]

This might as well be a paid advertisement for expanding foam, I love it so much dude

[@TheTrainModeller]

Expanding foam has been a good friend of mine for many years but is also a nightmare if you accidentally get it on your skin or worse yet... CLOTHES. :( Thank you!! :)

[@Bunbiichuffn]

Expanding foam... Any drawbacks to using it? This video has given me a lot of ideas for my own potential projects moving forward, particularly the methods for scenery!

[@TheTrainModeller]

Drawbacks are it is very messy and if you get it on your skin/clothes it will stick and stay around. Make sure you wear gloves and old clothes. It will ruin them D:

[@aJunctionMalfunction]

Hey, what water-mister did you use specifically? Was it just a random cheap one off of eBay, or do you recommend a specific one? That seems a lot easier for achieving a rain effect than using a spray bottle, which I've been doing, haha.

[@ryansedge9843]

I love your work and think what you do is amazing I would love to if you looking to start a model railway and have track and rolling stock and other bits all ready we're is the best place to start

[@TheTrainModeller]

Thank you so much! If you've got everything else ready, I'd recommend planning a layout depending on the size you have, and what can accommodate the track, engines, scenery etc. . Once you know how big you want it to be, then it's a case of buying your board and building the layout! :)

[@ryansedge9843]

@@TheTrainModeller ok thank you that helps a lot

[@HarrytheRedHClass2]

Very nice but I have one question. Which line is The Cliffside Route on?

[@TheTrainModeller]

Thank you! I'd like to think it's an older line of Oliver's Branchline, somehwere between Knapford and Arlesburgh. The main route is further inland, but this old route is still used from time to time.

[@HarrytheRedHClass2]

Sounds great, hope you don’t mind if I draw it on a map and potentially make a video about, I’ll credit you?

[@JohnSaavedraLikesTrains]

Did you use regular water? I know that distilled water is better as it can’t conduct electricity.

[@TheTrainModeller]

At the moment I have been yes, but that's a really good point! Thank you :)

[@JustDougi]

I wish I could do cool stuff like this but if I made this it would be the budget version with a knockoff wooden railway Oliver

[@sfm_ferguson5033]

WAIT HOW DID U GET TGE FUNNELS TO WORK

[@TheTrainModeller]

I had to cover them with tape if the water was in close proximity, or they could work if the rain only was in front of the camera, and not close enough to get the engines themselves wet :D

[@sfm_ferguson5033]

@@TheTrainModeller I didn’t really ask correctly, the first time, THAT STILL HELPS, but I meant to specifically ask, do you have a smoke unit inside of the engines? I have tons of scale and I don’t have anything smaller than the HO scale Bachman Square smoke unit

Can I narrate Percy's predicament? And by the way I've got something way more interesting than your cliff making which I find it a master piece. I've been doing up a project that everyone will like to see but it doesn't involve the cliff, I call it Project 5383 and there's a Pilot Thomas Theme that none of us heard.
