walthers chain link fence 001.MP4

I added an awsome kit from walthers to my layout and wanted to share it. The credit should go to Pelle Soeborg for inspiration for this video.Walthers chain link fence!

The chain link fence adds a lot of realism! Love the real concrete too! Your work is awesome!

I realise this is an old video, but I'd like to say nice work on the chain link fence. The tulle (mesh) is made of nylon and can be spray painted. I do like the bridge supports, they look great ! Cheers, Gary.

This is a little better thanthe instructions in the box. Thanks!

[@jamesthomas700]

Nice job. This Walthers kit has been a big disappointment for me due to the fragility of the wire bond to the posts. Your drill idea solves that problem. Thanks

[@waynehawkins2157]

Great work

[@donlukenbill5589]

I just wanted to make a comment that people might find useful. I worked construction for many years doing demo/rebuild and so am very familiar with chain link fence. Chain link is a great way to make things stand out in a layout, spacing is important. on a construction site which is a site stripped down to clay to pour new footings, foundations. Since the posts are driven into clay (to be removed and re-used) they have to be closer together to keep a strong fence, in addition they have no top or bottom rail for added support. 1" OF SCALE FENCE COMES OUT TO ROUGHLY 7'4" BETWEEN POSTS. On stretches where the posts are set in a concrete foundation such as along a sidewalk the posts can be much further apart and still retain the characteristics of a strong fence. the taller the fence the longer the distance between poles. 1.5" -10'9" and so on.

Beautiful detail work. You are talented and I look forward to seeing more!

[@geraldstokes5661]

Looks good, there's always chain link fence around railroad yards and industry

[@TheGryxter]

Hey what a great layout scene. I just bought a roll of fine mesh at Michael's, (a craft supply stote) and for 3 bucks I can fence in my my whole layout. I work in "N", and it looks pretty good. I am new to the hobby so I don't have enough finished to show yet, but watching your video really inspired me. I just love all the weathering that you put everywhere. Most guys just do a building or 2 and a few boxcars. A real railroad is a gritty place and you show that. Very well done. Can't wait to go and see your other videos. I thank you and just subscribed!

[@robertcaskey3096]

Great job. Thanks for the advice, I will order a drill from Walthers. I may have one some where, maybe I should look. Robert

@sqb2024 Walthers does not make any O-scale products that I know of,but you can go to brennansmodelrr to see thier products.They have a chainlink fence kit thats a scale 384 feet and sells for 32.95,hope this helps.

[@narcisofraustoii]

Thanks for the videos! Newcomer to the modeling hobby, wish me luck!

[@ruatrainman2]

Hi buddy ,congrats on picking the worlds greatest hobby, good luck and have fun.

[@PennCentral99]

I realize this video is a few years old, but still has some good information, especially the fences since I plan on installing some. thx

[@ruatrainman2]

I did build it from scratch, the piers are real cast concrete, and the top is plywood with color foam for the top and ribbed styrene for sides.The fence is cut window screen.

[@johnthut8522]

Thanks for the info about the chain link fence kit. I bought a kit awhile back and find the directions somewhat confusing, especially step 3. They also say to mount the chain link material on contact paper to cut it into strips. Did you do that.? Anyway your work looks really nice!

[@ruatrainman2]

@sqb2024 your welcome,thank you for the good comments.You could also use window screen matierial and cut it diagonaly and weave thin metal wire through the screen to make chain link fencing,but that might be a last resort.

[@sqb2024]

Nice layout. Dose this fence come in o-scale? An if so where do you think I can find It? Thanks.

[@martinhedges4781]

How did you attach the fence material ? to the posts or to the wire? and what adhesive did you use please.

[@LongIslandCityLayout]

Awesome layout! I love the detail

[@eXtremeFX2010]

Very Nice...are you still in the Hobby?

[@ruatrainman2]

Hello, and thank you. Yes I'm still in the hobby, just not posting much anymore. I hope to have a new video out soon though, as I'm getting the itch to model again.

[@ruatrainman2]

Hi Bjarne, you can order direct from .Walthers. ,or from Trainworld 751 mcdonald ave Brooklyn NY. I am unsure on how to send a link but those are the train dealers I use.Thank you for the nice comments.

[@mexicandude97]

did you make your interstate overpass or is it a kit?

[@waynestrickland1763]

Everything looks good. I like the addition of the fence as I have some for my layout that I havnt got started on yet.

[@sqb2024]

Thanks! for the tip Brennan's Model Railroading just what I was looking for.

[@chriskuruc]

What do you use for your dirt roads?

[@ruatrainman2]

@retrainrun Hey thanks for your comment and sub. I actually had to move and had to tear the layout in half. The one bridge pier in the back of the layout completely crumbeled, I'm working on rebuilding it currently and will completely redo the back drop.I'll post a new video asap, and show my progress.

[@bbrockRailFan]

Looks great keep it up!

[@hamzapopal2868]

walthers is one of my favorite toy that I like!😃😃😃

[@MrBurn59ny]

Since you use foam for your roads what do you use to paint the yellow and white lines?

[@ruatrainman2]

Hello , I mask the small lines with masking tape and use a water based acrylics, from Apple Barrel and Americana .

[@ruatrainman2]

The paint I use is color place spray paint ,you can find it at any hardware store.Thank you.

[@arkie74]

[@retrainrun]

You're layout looks amazing! I wish I had seen you're video before I started on mine. It look great. I'm subscribing to you're channel I want to see what you do next.

[@TheTreeman28]

Very nice layout you bridge pillars look good but next time put a piece of chicken wire in the center than poor it and it won't crack that is what I did

[@josephcosta3604]

Nice layout really no help with the fence but again good layouts

Your train work is great but your photography needs much improvement. For one get a tripod. two, stop panning so fast. and three, focus - focus - focus....
