As someone who filmed a CSX YN2 leading a trash train at that exact location ( 1st scene ) you’ve got it dead accurate. The white walls even mimic the milky clouds that appear every time I try to film!

The most realistic weathering and graffiti I’ve ever seen. For the first few minutes I was thinking is this a model railway. I actually thought at first you dubbed the HO scale clickety clack over real R.R. Footage. Super convincing scale model realism!

Wow excellent work sir! Thanks for making these videos. Could you tell me where I could find reference pics of these cars? I recently attempted some weathering of model cars as well. Your videos are inspiring I’d like to steal some of your ideas. How can I purchase a car you have weathered? Would you be interested in trade, I have some interesting rr items I’ve accumulated. Do you work for the rr?

I've been looking for the embroidery jewels or diodes everywhere on line. Can anybody give me a heads up where to find them and what they're called? I find sheets that you can cut a whole row out but they aren't individual ones.

I really would have liked to see a few clips of the painting process and maybe laying down decals. I like watching the whole process. On another note, have you tried the out the brake set available on shapeways? I’ve used them on my build and it’s a little better than that Tichy sprue.

Great video on tank cars modifications. There isn't a wide range of this cars in model form. Kit bashing one car at the moment that looks like TILX 200157 and DBCX 9824. Intermountain's 19,000 corn syrup cars are a good start. They are a pain to cut because it's not a tube. Its made in sections. Walthers 25,000 gallon car is a good model for a Ethylene Oxide car like TILX 401553. Walthers could offer their 16,000 funnel flow car for Sodium Hydroxide service with the black band. But presently you have make your own. The Red band Hydrochloric Acid cars like RCRX 1673 with and without end shields are a needed car to.

Looks very nice Dan. Impressed by your work. ----------------- If you do repeated (fleet builds') do you set up fixtures to aid in consistency? ------------------ I imagine the wealth of detail parts that can be scavenged from "discards" at model railroad swap meets, shows, hobby shops; etc. can be a invaluable resource.

Excellent video as always. Craftsman kits can be a bit of a pain, especially for those of us with little patience. Just one question: have you considered using MagnaLock magnetic brake hoses from Pacific Western Rail Systems? As for my trains (which I no longer have due to a life change), since I didn't use magnetic uncouplers, I cut off the trip pins and installed Kadee air hoses. (To which I had planned attaching MagnaLock brake hoses)
