I know you saw so many good ideas at the train show so I can't wait to see you incorporate some of them in your layout. The station is looking good and I think the red background will do the trick. Thanks Bob 😊

Ken, the red screen did the trick and it looks great. Loved the way you painted and the back drop appeared. Keep up the great work!

Hi Ken! Loving that station (and being unique as the only station platform built on a bend) just remember to tell those passengers to “mind the gap”…😁😊

Wow, going with red! Aren't some of the cars and the locomotives red? That was so neat to see the sky appear as you painted it red! That's gorgeous! Great, the red is different enough that they don't disappear. It looks nice with the sub-facia on. Painting the walls before you glue them is a good idea. The gable ends look nice. Interesting method to cover the roof. It's really taking shape now! Nice black paint. Whistle while you work? All cleaned up. Thanks for this video Ken!

Yes it seems like no matter what color I use something disappears.

I believe gorilla glue is a contact type glue. Apply it to both surfaces, allow to tack out, then put pieces together with slight pressure. Should work if you choose to try it again. Great work with the layout! I've always loved model trains but not enough patience to actually put one together, lol. Enjoy watching you work, sir!

The only thing on your station is I would have cut in windows and doors before gluing the walls in place. Glad to see it progressing. Really nice.

Cool on the red screen painting. Lets see you do two trains in opposite directions. Now that would be tricky with one controller. Really liking the backdrop.

@Kens265 4 ай бұрын

Thanks. Haha that would be tricky

@clarencewiles963 4 ай бұрын

That was cool painting and having the screen on. But now you don’t have a complete engine as it disappears in part. But it’s much better. Maybe do some painting of the engine from red to brown or something. Hot glue is a real good idea. 👍 thanks again for sharing.

@Kens265 4 ай бұрын

Thanks maybe I can hire Bob Ross to paint the engines

@philtucker1224 4 ай бұрын

Maybe some really tall pencil trees at back, and short stubby ones up front to suggest perspective?

@Kens265 4 ай бұрын

Yes. Maybe a hill or mountain as well

Hey Ken - be sure to patent that roller which paints mountains and sky! 🙂

Very nice, Ken. Ever think of putting the station name on the roof, so planes & drones have a point of reference. 😊

@Kens265 4 ай бұрын

I hadn’t thought of that, but that’s a good idea!

@philtucker1224 4 ай бұрын

Wow ( I didn’t realise you were have planes and drones too- will they be to scale?) 🤔

Hi it,s MRL man in west valley city Utah, how are you doing now that you are not building anymore. It's good to see you doing HO trains. My HO scale layout is 18x15 in the garage . It,not flat it has mountains in where it climbs. But we are having a train show March 1,2,3 next month in Ogden Utah it,a good show 😊. From Neil schwerdt have a great weekend.

At the 15:30 mark what is the blade tooth count in your table saw? I was expecting a fine cut blade with a high tooth count for the material you’re cutting.

@Kens265 4 ай бұрын

It’s a framing blade

@philtucker1224 4 ай бұрын

You can’t have it upside down, (that only works with a perfectly symmetrical shape).- However Barrie’s idea is great, - you could even have a matching piece as a Christmas fair ground and an ice skating rink…
