On30 Payless Mining Company 7 module overview

[@lynnmorton7544]

It's a masterpiece. You're the Picasso of model railroading, Rich!

[@jackheninger5471]

Thanks for another video Rich. Hope you find a home for it. And I for one would enjoy seeing a night time video. Your scenery always takes me back to my hiking trips up in the Sierra Mountains when I was a kid and a bit as an adult. Those days and the mountains are a long way off now.

[@richwhite4331]

Thanks Jack!! I am going to try to get a night video put together in the next couple of weeks. Just not sure how about the quality of a night shoot. I will try to do some tests first!! Thanks again!!

[@plymouth-hl20ton37]

Wow where do I start? I'm glad for some reason I got sent this video. It's incredible this workmanship you put into this railroad. It needs to be put in a museum simply breath taking. National treasure.

[@richwhite4331]

Really glad you enjoyed!! Thanks for the kind words regarding the Payless!!

[@celticwoodworking8706]

Truly a work of art. Very inspirational.

[@richwhite4331]

Thanks so much!!!

[@sheep1ewe]

I realy, realy hope all this will go into a worthy museum! Your work is truly outstanding! This set has been a realy great inspiration to me!

[@richwhite4331]

Thanks!! Glad you enjoy the videos.

[@sheep1ewe]

@@richwhite4331 I always really looking forward to them!

[@ColorMeMozart]

This is by far the best layout I have ever seen. I agree that the slants make the layout more interesting and I could get lost in each scene. Well done, thank you for the inspiration!

[@davevan8864]

You have a true talent for multi level modeling. I don't so I love just seeing your work!! Thanks

[@richwhite4331]

Thank You!!

[@AWyattFilm]

This layout is gorgeous, wow

[@richwhite4331]

Thanks!!

[@bobbosuniverse8531]

This is art. your work had inspired me to very much. I bought my first Shay locomotive last month and i planning for my first module in 0n30 right this moment.

[@richwhite4331]

Great!! Welcome to On30, and remember Flat is Boring !! My opinion only.

[@bobbosuniverse8531]

@@richwhite4331 My opinion to. I have a garden railway around our little mountain . kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnXShaeifNmLb8U Some old clip, much bigger now.

[@guitarstevie2]

This is the first of your videos I've seen, and I've been a modeling enthusiast for years. Strange. Your modeling work is excellent. A story around every corner. I completely agree with your feelings about "flat". Everything looks so much better when there are grades present. The world ain't flat.

[@richwhite4331]

Amen to that !! Glad you enjoyed !!

[@gjamjames]

So glad to see a new video!! Best 21 minutes of my day, please make more. It really motivates me to keep working on my layout.

[@richwhite4331]

Thanks!! Keep Working !!

[@sammisworkshops3762]

Such a cool layout Rich, Please keep sharing your cool layout! love it

[@richwhite4331]

Thank You!!

[@paulbottrill8391]

Well what can I say apart from, this is the best model railroad I’ve seen and if I wasn’t in 🇬🇧 I’d make you an offer. Superb detailing in every aspect, I enjoy your videos and I hope there’s many more to come. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful piece of artwork, because that’s what it is.

[@richwhite4331]

Thank You Very Much!!

[@nanordstrom]

Nor a diorama, not a model rr,, but an incredible work of art. Breathtaking...

[@richwhite4331]

Thank You!!!

[@briankistenmacher]

Rich ~ Your modeling has inspired me ever since I saw your short piece in the Gazette 25 or so years ago. I still reread it it every so often. I bought your models when you first sold them as kits and have also bought your "Hydrocal only" offerings. Your castings are still among the very best I've ever seen. Keep up the great work. ~Brian Kistenmacher

[@richwhite4331]

Thanks Brian for the kind words regarding the Payless and also for being a Rich White Models Customer!!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed !!

[@hovermotion]

Wow unbelievable detailing..stunning...well done sir..

[@richwhite4331]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed !!

[@mikeregan8894]

RIch really enjoy your work. I’m moving my lumber/mining layout into a bedroom. You gave me some really good ideas thank you so much

[@richwhite4331]

Thanks Mike!! Good luck with the move, wish I has a big room that I could house the Payless rather than the garage!!

[@jrrailroadmodelrailroadhos5014]

One of the best layouts I have ever seen keep up the good work

[@matthewesler8379]

Incredible model railway

[@jimrohman6575]

I’ve been hoping for a new video from you on the Payless and man Rich you did not disappoint. This is one of the best layouts ever. Just love it all. You have been a real inspiration to me. Hate to think your done. It’s wonderful. Thanks for always sharing your work. Truly have loved it. Stay well👍

[@richwhite4331]

Thanks Jim!! After 30 years on the Payless its time to move on. I am thinking of dabbling a bit it Military Miniatures 1/35th scale. Being an Infantryman in Vietnam I'm thinking on building a small diorama with a Huey Helicopter and a few grunts on the ground. See if I can build something realistic looking?? Thanks again! Rich

[@fraxz88]

Oh you had me at Placer St. Thank you for sharing this amazing build! I'll have to go watch all your videos now.

[@richwhite4331]

Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed!!

[@jimtedesco]

Hey Thanks!!

The building of the streets in Mount Bullion actually represents the kind of downtowns I've seen in Colorado cities that started as mining towns. Many of the streets are not level and many of the business blocks undulate with the terrain. Of course much of my memories are from my teens and twenties visiting Colorado either with my grandparents in my teens or going to Colorado and Wyoming with the Kansas Army National Guard to train. In 1989 the unit I was with trained at Pinion Canyon Manuever Site and spent its off time in Trinidad, CO. for a 36 hour leave. I walked Trinidad trailing our Company's XO by orders of our CO. I got my workout walking up and down all those streets. On some of the blocks in the Downtown you had to actually climb up steps in the sidewalks to navigate the blocks.

[@d.l.hemmingway3758]

By the way ever since I discovered your channel I have been fascinated by the detail and realism of the Payless Mining Compay's modules especially the right of way and the city of Mount Bullion.

[@RobbieSongwriter]

So glad to see some new vids. In awe everytime I see your Jedi like skills creating GREAT scenery. Our philosophies are almost carbon copies. Too many modelers oversaturate track until their layouts lose all credibility. Flat scenery! Even in Kansas there are undulations and creek bottoms to the "flat scenery". Another great modeler I know is a master at scenery, but his entire layout is built on plywood. Hills and creek bottoms, but no RR grades anywhere to be found.😳 I also hit 75 and sold my prize winning On3 module.😟 No room and not enough time.🤔There should be someplace to preserve models of your caliber.

[@richwhite4331]

Thanks Robbie !!

[@mattiantorno2241]

Very nice layout. You switch backs where the Davenport is sitting , inspired me to build my G scale point to point with switch backs, not so easy in 9ft of space. Could you show us more train movement videos, shot them at eye level according to scale? So we could be involved in the scene.

[@richwhite4331]

Thanks !!

[@sierravalleyandharborjunction]

Beauty!!

[@richwhite4331]

Thanks!!

[@danielfouardlibertarianono8017]

When I see these mine and mine town layouts the one question I always have is about the trees. Every old and new mines I see and I love watching mine exploration videos. But around all of these mines you can't find a tree for hundreds of yards. Because they cut all the timber out to shore up the mine workings and the mills.

[@richwhite4331]

Thats True, but I like trees!!

[@luvindemtrains]

Awesome work Rich. The town scene is superb. I'm not an On30 guy but this video has me thinking about it. Where do you get your people?

[@richwhite4331]

Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed !! The majority of my figures are 1:43rd scale from the U.K. a company called S & D models/Phoenix Figures. They have the best detail of all the figures in my opinion. You have to paint them but if you don't mind tedious painting they are worth the work!! Thanks again!!

[@gordonmcmillan4709]

Lovely, a whole load of work. Fifty stars is too many for a contemporary flag. though.

[@richwhite4331]

Thanks

[@johnsolimine1164]

Any museum curator who passes this model up needs their head examined.

[@richwhite4331]

Thank You!!!

[@pauljackson2844]

Rich - Old Guys rule..........

[@richwhite4331]

OK I guess!!

[@ronniedavis3713]

Rich, Quick question for you I've followed your work ever since the Gazette article. What would you do if you really sold this layout with all the "Blood ,Sweat and Tears" you've put into this thing ??? The R&P Lumber Co.

[@richwhite4331]

I have a kit business that I do on eBay, not sure if you have ever seen any of the kits? I think I would really start carving more Hydrocal kits as I really do enjoy research and design old gold rush era structures!! The Payless has reached the end of the line for me. Maybe build a couple of military Minature diorama's "Vietnam era"

[@ronniedavis3713]

Rich, I brought one of your kits years ago. Thought you might build something small and portable to take to Train Shows.
