The Brewery "Extractor" Final | River Road - Vlog #56

This final episode completes the HO Scale Model Railroad Brewery Flat and Extractor scene. I also include an overview of the layout.
See you on the next one! ~ Boomer.

[@1Nanerz]

I’m starting to enjoy building my models while watching your vids. Just put some custom styrene boxcar door tracks on a combination door boxcar.

[@boomerdiorama]

What boxcar manufacture is it? What model is it exactly if you can share? I was thinking the same.

[@1Nanerz]

@@boomerdiorama it’s an old US hobbies O scale kit from the 70s or 80s. Nicely done body but details are grossly out of scale. Got rid of the cushion underframe and redid it all with scale h columns. Protocraft proto48 trucks and couplers. Next I have to make up ladders and install AB brake rigging. Been a fun project but a lot of work to bring an old kit up to spec. I went to Proto 48 to try and up my skills. Thanks for asking and thanks for what you do for the hobby.

[@1Nanerz]

@@boomerdiorama the US hobbies kit is a Pullman standard 50’ combination door boxcar. It’s a UP prototype but I’m modding it to Milwaukee Road.

[@boomerdiorama]

@@1Nanerz That sounds like a cool project. I have a real soft spot for Standard "O" Scale (Proto 48). If I could find an O Scale GP9 "chopped" nose (undec), and a couple of hoppers, I would probably build a small shelf layout around it, with a grain elevator. ;-)

[@1Nanerz]

@@boomerdiorama Lines West Products makes 3D printed chop noses in O scale. I’m actually working on 2 Milwaukee Road GP20’s built from Rad Caboose GP9 undec shells as well. Maybe I’ll do a KZbin vid on the builds.

Real Prototypical Model Aesthetics. ..UnReal Knowledge, Skills and Craftsmanship. Wow!! Thank you Boomer for sharing your talents with us - Awe inspiring!!!

[@boomerdiorama]

Glad you enjoyed it! It's such a remarkable hobby in so many ways. The rewards are endless. Cheers.

[@Bunyip_Studios]

That was a joy to watch that come together! Thanks Boomer!

[@boomerdiorama]

O.K. You are welcome!😁👍

[@seanarthur2414]

Stunning. I think you’re inspiring a lot of people to look at the hobby differently.

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you. I hope to inspire people to look at the model Railroad in a new light. A small, manageable, and immersive shelf layout offers the same fulfilment as a perceived and unachievable larger layout does. ;-) Cheers.

[@timgoldie745]

You are a true pro Boomer!!!

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you Tim. We all aspire to our own style in one way or another. So many excellent modelers out there no doubt. Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@benoitevellin8796]

As always, it is difficult to thank you enough for your videos and the advice you share. I was working today on the details of my version (vision?) of the brewery while watching your most recent videos. It really motivates me to work harder and to add much more details than I would have had working alone. Thank you very much for your indirect moral support!

[@boomerdiorama]

Fantastic! Glad to hear you are inspired. The rewards for greater detail are worth it in the end. Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@patmccarthy1624]

Great series on this build, Boomer! So many techniques, but you really emphasized that preparation, attitude, and over approach affect the result more than the technique. And, of course, you must have the willingness to stretch your boundaries. Thank you for sharing all this!

[@boomerdiorama]

Thanks a bunch! Happy holidays!

[@davestrains6816]

Boomer I really enjoyed this series. I have learned alot watching all your tips and techniques. Thanks for sharing. Dave

[@boomerdiorama]

Glad you enjoyed it Dave. Thanks for watching!

[@richardsmith4147]

So glad I found this channel, thank you for sharing and inspiring. I’m ready to get going with some of your technics

[@boomerdiorama]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ronduz1281]

You sir are an artist! 👍👍👍

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you. I consider myself an artist before I confess to a rivet counter for sure. ;-) Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@marztube6158]

Your videos are excellent and engrossing to watch. If I may make one criticism, I find myself spending more time watching you model (including your earlier footage of Glover Road) than I spend modelling myself... 😁 Damn you Boomer, something else to divert my limited attention span. Thanks for the videos, keep up the good work.

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you. I think what you mentioned has become part of the hobby. I tend to watch other modelers as well on occasion ;-)

[@garyrose8188]

That's a bleedin' nice build, Boomer, and would hazard it rivals the twin hydraulic ramp towers in complexity and end result. Bravo!

[@boomerdiorama]

Scratch building subjects will often eclipse the preceding model as we all grow in skill. It never ends. ;-)

[@Vman7757]

Wow! What a beautiful ending on to the next beginning. Keep up the awesome work. I learn a lot from your videos. Thanks again.

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you Vincent. Cheers ;-)

[@tomo9613]

Fantastic build, true skill and presentation. I look forward to all your episodes and i am itching to see the next buiding start its creation. Well done and thanks for shareing.

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you very much Charles! Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@grahamfrench9874]

Just like that extractor silo. For a modeller that is inspirational. Happy Christmas from ‘ down under ‘.

[@boomerdiorama]

Happy holidays!

[@ericp6612]

“How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat”. Great album and another from rest job on the extractor build! Your work is amazing! Thanks again for sharing your skills and knowledge!

[@boomerdiorama]

Glad you enjoyed it. The 1970's was unbelievable for original music (before MTV and the corporate takeover). Every album was a bullet written in a garage . . . never to be seen again ;-) As a Boomer it was a remarkable time to grow up. Cheers.

[@ericp6612]

I was just a kid in the 70s but started appreciating Pink Floyd in the 80s!

[@prithivraj2187]

You r scratch building is great. Good creativity and not to replicate everything, exactly as shown in the picture. Scratch building requires a lot of patience.

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you. I like to have fun with it, rather than getting too bogged down over every detail. Cheers.

[@seanspennywisemiserrr]

It's great to see a plan come together the way the brewery has Boomer. I'm in awe as to how fine your detail work is. You are an inspiration to us all. Have a Merry christmas Boomer and all the best of the holiday season.

[@boomerdiorama]

Thanks, you too Sean! Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@joeraderblackrockcentralrr]

Tour attention to detail is fantastic

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you !

[@Madonsteamrailways]

This is going to be a really professional style job!! I love the use of the copper piping to make it look more prototypical!!

[@boomerdiorama]

;-)

[@CharlieH65]

A Pink Floyd reference to start out!! Boomer, you never cease to amaze. Just Awesome. (I'm quite fond of Pink Floyd as well)

[@boomerdiorama]

Yes . . . David Gilmour among many others. ;-) We had the privilege to grow during a period of the best music ever written.

[@CharlieH65]

@@boomerdiorama y Yes indeed! Gilmour=Stratocaster master

[@jimschneider5193]

The Extractor defined that whole scene. Lot of great things your sharing and it's definitely appreciated. Can't wait to do scenery once I start my next layout, which will be 2 rail O scale steam era mine runs. It's those little tricks that really help us aspiring modelers achieve better and better results.

[@boomerdiorama]

Awesome! Thank you! I like the sounds of 2 Rail "O" Scale. Such a nice scale to work in for everything really. Cheers.

[@richardchalmers2794]

Certainly gets the creative juices flowing , I am definitly going start something soon , thanks for the inspiration !

[@boomerdiorama]

Sounds good Richard! Take your time with the plan. It will pay dividends in the end! ;-) Cheers.

[@mikeburton8687]

very beautiful modeling Boomer, you're an artist!!

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you very much!

[@rhodesj1893]

Boomer you did it again! You taught me that my 50 some odd inch t.v. is a needed tool in watching your videos! Lmao. When you got to the hand rails my smart phone was no longer acceptable for seeing the detail in the lesson. I'm going to jump the gun a little here and buy an electron microscope so I can watch how you add the tread details to the studs protruding from the nuts that anchor the feet to the concrete footers! Bravo sir... 👏 👏 the level of detail and quality of build you put in to scale you can't find in the contractors that build these things in the real world...

[@boomerdiorama]

I'm glad to hear you are having fun! ;-) Thank you! Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@tyler__carron]

So cool. Even cooler that it's local and that I build breweries. Cheers

[@boomerdiorama]

I should be painting the Brewery soon as well! Cheers.

[@stevencollins1643]

Beyond your exceptional diorama modeling skills, your video production is also fantastic. Thanks for documenting your music selection. The ending 'Drone' selection on this video was very cool and was glad the credits/link was there - fun to play that music again (The Rising by Aakash Gandi). I have my PC connected to my 5.1 surround sound receiver so could amp that up a bit...

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you very much!

[@boomerdiorama]

Cheers!

[@rafaelvoncina6036]

Someone "offered you a challenge you couldn't refuse", so I was expecting that derail to make an appearance. And sure enough, here it is. Feels very satisfactory watching the layout's stories grow. Yet all I do is cheer from a country thousands of miles away. (And take notes and try your techniques out.) Great work Boomer.

[@boomerdiorama]

Lol . . . yes, the challenge. The challenge is half the battle ;-) Cheers.

[@JoeG-firehousewhiskey]

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you Joe! Cheers!

[@1BCamden]

Nice one, see the CAT got a cameo appearance

[@boomerdiorama]

Yes . . . the little Cat! I like that model. One of the few "white" metal kits worth building I think. Cheers.

[@brucewoods9377]

Outstanding!

[@boomerdiorama]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@frankhellman6879]

The scale of the completed + the upcoming details are going to be mesmerizing. I notice you have a wind sock, but I forget if you showed how you made it (baby boomer problems). If you did, I'll go back & find it. It looks great. I figure perhaps one more brewery wrap up then off to another intriguing part of layout creation. We'll see if I'm correct. Enjoy!

[@hondachopper6978]

He did show the making of the sock in a previous video.

[@boomerdiorama]

I will be doing another "wind - sock" by the edge of the Barge approach soon! ;-)

That retailer if fantastic. When I mentioned my friend built a working retailer I didn't thank about a manual one. No siding on my layout is level. If I may, I'd like to copy your design.

[@boomerdiorama]

The next build tutorial is on how to build them ;-) Cheers.

[@royceferguson]

Awesome, Boomer! =) Have you considered also adding the rooftop rails on top of the Brewery building as a final touch? Interesting visual feature as you noted on the prototype. Of course they would also need to stand up to the abuse of repeated moving of the building flat, so perhaps not worth the trouble, lol. ;) Cheers!

[@boomerdiorama]

I do plan to add the rooftop rails once I receive the brass rod I ordered ;-) Cheers.

I knew this day would come when you finished building the brewery and the extractor, but I still will be sad there won't be more videos on this part of the project. I can't wait to see what comes next! I already feel like I'm a better modeler just by watching your techniques.

[@boomerdiorama]

You and me both! Don't worry friend - there is tons of content on this project. :-) Cheers ~ Boomer.

[@gavino9886]

Dear Boomer, your videos are really helpful and inspiring, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. Would you have any suggestions for modelling with mild hand tremors when cutting and painting? I find it challenging sometimes and I wouldn't want to change hobby because of this...

[@boomerdiorama]

Try and use thin plastic or material you can cut out with scissors. I wouldn't be too fussy about details and paint. Just have fun with it. 😁

[@conrailfan6277]

When you get the warehouse and the hops unloader painted and finished you'll have to do a night photo with the lights on the warehouse Boomer!! When you finish the barge apron are you going to light it too?? This was a great build!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@boomerdiorama]

Yes. The Barge apron also gets lighting as well. ;-)

[@laspiedrasrailroad]

Oh also - Did you or can you talk about and show how you order, arrange and plan for what you need from Evergreen and Plastruct?

I will try to share that on the next tutorial. Thank you for the suggestion. ;-)

[@rexroad9917]

Will the ladder cage clear a hightop boxcar roof and all the engine cabs?

[@boomerdiorama]

Yes. The area is tighter than I wanted, but it's the very end of the layout so it won't see much action other than a switcher perhaps. I know this sounds unconventional, but I took the brewery further than I planned. It was never meant to be compressed into the layout. It was a last minute decision. It was only meant to be a backdrop relief for the Barge slip. Cheers.
