Building, Painting & Weathering the Roundhouse

Hi! I´m presenting some of my painting and weathering techniques for brick wall buildings. The subject is a 6-port roundhouse with matching water tower. The roundhouse is then integrated into a Locomotive yard with turntable and related track works.

Spouse: „Darling, have you seen my old home Jeans?” Model railway worker: “No” 😁 Great good tutorial. 👍🏻

[@rogerhuber3133]

This roundhouse is a fantastic kit. I built one several years ago. The fit of all parts was the best I've ever seen. Thanks for all the great weathering and painting instructions. A beautiful module.

[@Leadweight2]

Still surprises me how many new tips you present in every new video. Awesome video once again!

[@andersgullberg]

Very nice work!

[@ewoodrailway]

Stunningly lifelike, great video

[@E_73]

Hi Martin! You know I am a big fan of your work! Thank you for this video. I like your friendly presentation! 😊😊😊😊

[@johnkelley9877]

Absolutely fantastic looking diorama! The whole piece is very realistic looking and the instructions were very clear and precise. Thanks for sharing this.

[@Lennon6412]

I have always liked the look of the roundhouse used so frequently in many continental european countries, I wish we used them more frequently in the UK. Very nice and informative video as always!

[@ErzgebirgsMoBaHO]

Richtig toll gemacht 👍 ich baue meine Gebäude ja selber, aber das Modell ist auch sehr schön geworden. Die Automatischen Türen haben mir gut gefallen 👍LG Tino

[@nick111]

Der Servo ist etwas zu schnell. Aber die Umsetzung ist brillant.

[@eugeneg68]

Great job. I really liked it

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you Eugene! 👍

[@fernandogagliardo6618]

Even I don't like Marklin system...but outstanding work!

[@valborchardt3596]

Thank you once again, what a lovely tutorial, take care as always from South Africa

[@renatoscaglia7298]

Bello bello 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@thomasmurphy7719]

I have been in this hobby for 55 years ~ yet I always learn something new while watching your videos.

[@marklinofsweden]

Hi Thomas! That’s great. I learn something new for my hobby everyday too. That’s what keeps me going.

[@layoutacademy5569]

Dear Martin, This is another inspirational video that is very well made. Thank you so much for doing this. You actually got me back into model railroading after a 25 year break! One question remains for me: Could you post how you made the controls for the servos? I'd like to make my doors operable, too. Thank you in advance! Frank

[@eddydee7615]

Hello Is the paint you are using water-based? This is because I hear you talking about propanol which is probably alcohol. You cannot use this water-based acrylic paint. When aging the wooden doors you also use propanol, which will probably cause the same problem with water-based acrylic paint.

[@phil36310]

Hi Martin, As always your video tutorials are nicely to the point and fun to watch. The way you finished this roundhouse is a perfect piece of art ! I love it. What make is the turntable, and is it hand operated ? Looks great & simple. Thanks for sharing ! All the best - filip

[@the_clockwork_jackass6897]

What if you were to glue a character's hand to the door so the person's feet were floating over the floor so it would look like he was pushing the door open

[@DaleSchultz-mixmox]

for K-track, it is very easy to simply solder wires to rail joiners. cabin-layout.mixmox.com/2005/07/laying-k-track.html

[@Evil_107]

Another amazing tutorial, love your videos! So informative.

[@riff2072]

Holy S_ _ _ Batman!

[@billthomas8205]

Thank you so much for your intelligent, creative & fun videos. My wife & I watch them together, & we have invented the Marklin Drinking Game: every time you say "PVA glue" we have another drink. (And yes, we have actually built a railway!)

[@ThomasBrischle]

Hello, how do you get the chalk powder to stick to the modell? I use the exact same chalk as you but for me it only sticks to the make up applicator, not any effect on the modell itself?

[@tylerpaul650]

I have been searching for a video like this for quite a while, many many thx sir!!

[@foxterrier5910]

Very nice! Great job 😉👍🏻

[@NiinaSKlove]

Love all the details, - it’s so satisfying to watch! 🤓

[@normanrowe2831]

Beautiful work. Amazing results. Question....do you know if these Kilbri snap together kits are available in n scale? As always, eagerly awaiting your next episode. Bye for now.

[@TheyMakeItLikeThat]

Fantastic job! your weathering is very subtle but it makes a huge difference!

[@hansfehlow9657]

I am always impressed with your weathering methods. Great video thank you.

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you! 👍

[@flyingcircus1263]

....simply thank you for your great videos! It's so simply because it's oldschool. I like oldschool!!!!!!!!! lovely great's from germany Jörg

[@MissionZ]

Hi there, this is a great tutorial and it should also enable me to age a building. but how would you do that in a bright building with a smooth facade? aging like this certainly looks different. Regards from Gernany Carsten

[@melfordhorrocks3327]

Great video as always. I’ve learnt a lot from your tutorials. Those lamps though are new to me, I don’t think I’ve ever seen them in the UK. Could you please tell me where you got them from and who makes them. Thanks, Mel

[@marklinofsweden]

Hi Mel! Thabk you. Good to hear you liike the videos. 👍😊 The illumination system is from ”Viessmann”. Google on Viessmann Modelltechnik. They have a lot of useful stuff and ship worldwide from their webshop.

[@Fahrbetrieb]

In the Future you will be one of my main source on how to do it. Many thanks for your Videos and keep on doing what you do. Best regards Nils

[@mulld]

You are a huge inspiration when I'm working on my layout. I watch your videos and have them playing in the background while I work and it motivates me to take that extra step to get something done or make.it look that much more realistic.

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you! Good to hear you like the videos! More are coming! 👍😊

[@fabiandeka4221]

I love it!!! But I still prefer to Primer everything before paint it, you will have more accuracy and you definitely will loose any kind of plastic look. More time consuming.. I know..

[@robertholsting]

I connected the servoes to the track power through a home made controller, so when the track is turned on, then the doors open. No power = no movement = closed doors. :-) (I can turn on/off all 12 tracks in the round house individually)

[@TheCreativeModellerHO]

Great video 👌👍😃😲

[@artursmihelsons415]

Fully enjoyed this video! Great as always! :) Like idea, that track goes through round turnout (table) and depo sits aside.. Very good for space tight layouts and for future layout extending.. ;) Usually, depo with round table is at the track end.. These lamp posts with connectors was something new to me..

[@GerbenWijnja]

Looks great! For ideas about the yard layout next to a roundhouse I highly recommend the book "The Model Railroader's Guide to Locomotive Servicing Terminals". It has lots of pictures, layout examples and explanations why and how yards are laid out, and tells the story how yards slowly transformed from the steam to the diesel era, so you can make good decisions about what a yard should look like and what buildings to include if you run steam, diesel or both. www.amazon.com/Railroaders-Locomotive-Servicing-Terminals-English/dp/0890244146

[@DaleSchultz-mixmox]

10:35 before the first use of Burnt umber! :-) I was getting worried! Great job!

[@tomatoes3]

Brilliant video and tutorial, thank you.

[@haydenbritt1237]

Dude, you look like one of my Bible college professors, that’s crazy man! Thanks for the tutorial! 😂

[@HenrikSweden1]

Very nice ! Love the moving Doors, but why the crack in the glass ? Otherwise a very well made kit . Thanks for the video.

[@jazzin12]

Marklinofsweden, Which turntable are you using? I model in N scale and find the Kato far too spendy!

[@hadynmcloughlin4661]

New to the train hobby and just starting with first plastic kit - love the simple to follow paint techniques thanks for sharing your tips. New sub today

[@larrydee8859]

Beautiful Work! The morter between the bricks. The servo operation of the doors. The soldering of the stainless steel track... Really much needed information! Thanks again, so much, MarklinofSweeden!

[@baronjutter]

It should be illegal to sell roundhouse kits that don't come with pre-molded interior details on the inner surfaces of the walls!

[@georgetrevorrowjr6194]

Very well done thank you for sharing!!!

[@glideromega]

My wife asks, why does the presenter have such a red nose? What, did his wife also find out how much his hobby really cost?

[@marklinofsweden]

The presenter has a skin desease called ”Rosesea”. I’ve been collecting and building since 1974, so the average yearly cost is very reasonable. 😉

[@glideromega]

@@marklinofsweden do not be offended, please, master! It was not an entirely successful joke on my part. I have been doing a lot of military equipment modeling, and only recently took up models of railways, and learned a lot from you. But my wife only now found out the real value of my hobby. And I got a red nose and a pale look. With greetings and thanks from Ukraine!

[@martinpattison1567]

A very detailed Roundhouse and a nice diorama. I am also building a 6 bay roundhouse that is being 3D printed for me. The creator made a mistake on the front walls and doors, he did not allow for the tracks. I think he is redrawing them now, but after seeing this video I saw the doors are shaped to go over the track. I also want to open and close the doors. I will use servos with control via an Arduino board with an Uno 3. I think I will try and cut the door and see if that is ok or not. Many thanks. Martin (Thailand)

[@qtstar9479]

Wow!!! You’re amazing! Just here to watch you do your thang.👍❤️🔥

[@lorriedmussett4692]

I knew i wasn't the only viewer who just loves to watch and enjoy everything on this KZbin channel m

[@MrVbobby]

Try not to use black, it doesn't really appear naturally try raw umber or a dark brown black is produced when there is a fire. I painted movie sets for 11 years and I watched many times when someone would use to dark of a color for aging and it can make a place look like an transmission shop rest room, to dirty.

[@ShermiNatorGER]

hay a little question i will stardt whit the weatehring but i am new in this and i have no training in painting What if I paint it and I don't like it, can I just remove it? I'm worried that I'll ruin the model....

[@gvet47]

The quality of that kit is really amazing to snap together and fit so well. I live in a town in the states that had one of the largest roundhouses West of the Missouri River. I can tell you the floor and service pits were a accumulation of oil, grease and dirt! Yours is WAY TO CLEAN!

Wieder ein sehr informatives Video von dir. Schönes Wochenende.

[@Steamer96]

I really wish for an american roundhouse that snaps together.

[@johnsimpson99]

You are truly an artist. Not sure I'll ever do any of this stuff but love watching you work.

[@davidjohnfarrell4579]

I love the way your locomotives will crawl along without any jerky movements

[@alistairbain6149]

“Rip a piece of your jeans off.” 😂 Luvvit 🤣

Very informative as usual. Great work thank you.

[@mauricevandraanen4286]

And ofcourse this all is very sheap to buy for less then E100,- i guess!?

[@marklinofsweden]

I guess not.. A full 6-port kit including extensions stacks up a bit above €100

[@bossecarlberg]

Tack för en väldigt fin video och speciellt för det speciella flussmedlet.

Tack! Ja! Det flussmedlet har sparat mig många grå hår..

[@dannemachmar]

Do you know where i can find inspiration for roundhouse interior?

[@simonhallberg4368]

Hej! Jag tänkte börja med modelljärnvägar. Min morfar har massor av grejer från sin morfar. Jag vet endast att det är h0 men inget mer. De flesta tåg är från 70-80 talet så undra om du vet vad det skulle kunna vara för drivsätt på hans bana.

[@marklinofsweden]

Hej! Kul! 👍😊 Drivsettet är nästan säkert analogt med transformatorer. En bra start! Kolla in märklintåg.se för tips.

[@sparky107107]

wow a nice and simple kit. bit of paint and weathering. came out really nicely. adding the brick work inside was a great touch. fabulous finished scene

[@malcolm1933]

Perfect as usual wish I had the patience for that quality

[@davidj.murphy5588]

The 6-stall roundhouse model resembles a similar one at Greenfield Village/Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI, except their turntable is 'hand-powered' and they often get children to help turn it. I also have 2 of the 3-stall Kibri kits and plan to use your tips on finishing them. Thank you for the instructions. Great work!

[@jackcegielsky1985]

I weathered my Walter's modern roundhouse the way in your video, was easy to do very happy with the results. Now if i could get a turntable of good quality that would be great. Looks like ADMturntables would be what I am looking for. Living in the USA having trouble contacting them. May they are out of business. Would need one for HO scale BLI Big Boy, could you be of any help. Thank You. keep up the great video's jc.

[@伊鈴屋ヒミコ]

Nice to meet you. Sorry for the clumsy English. It was very useful for dirtying the brick station we are making now. Thank you very much.

[@SmR8008]

That looks fantastic. The kit looks great too😊😊

[@josefbuckland]

Always a pleasure I made special mention to you in the next two videos I made but what I love at the end of this video with the accent is the final word sound like until DEATH happens see you in the next one. What is so interesting about that is I just thought of that earlier today thinking I should make a video because what happens when some of these people we follow like Luke towan or Chadwick. One day they pass on and no one knows how to operate the channel to tell you all. I think I will do a pre epitaph if you will thanking you all now so if anything ever happens you will all know why. Back to weathering a curved viaduct. Stay safe

[@bmwslk230]

Outstanding work, as usual! Great to see roundhouse of Ottbergen. Have you been to the "Bundesmodellbahn" of Karl Fischer's Ottbergen layout? It is located in a little town, called Brakel, just between the cities of Hannover and Dortmund. Really worth to visit, highly recommended!

Me gustaria que lo traduzcan al ESPAÑOL gracias por el video...........

[@hansslob6749]

Well done, the only thing I would change is the speed in which the doors close.

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you! Yepp! Me too, but that would require a much more complicated driver circuit. Simply outside of my knowledge of electronic design..

[@hansslob6749]

marklinofsweden Here in the Netherlands we have a website called Arcomora: www.arcomora.com/ . They sell a cheap Arduino + DCC shield for about €10. This will give you the opportunity to program your servos very easyly and make that time about 9 seconds instead of 1. No need for programming skills, the interface is easy to use and allows all kind of possibilities. I use it to switch 3 way switches with the cheapest Chinese servos available.

[@mannbrand]

Excellent work Martin! I have the same water tower, I have not installed it yet. I loved the contacts of the lights, very practical ... Cheers

[@rhiwderinraytube]

Hi ! Is there any method of adjusting the speed of the motor used to control the doors? They seem to open and close too quickly.

[@marklinofsweden]

Yes. These servos operate linear, so the motion can be very slow and very precise.. However.. Then you need a more intelligent driver circuit. If you’re building like a 6-port or larger, it’s probably best to program an Arduino and use a PWM-motor module withit.

[@rhiwderinraytube]
