I love tiny big machines!
Welcome to my channel. I'm inspired by large machines and historical railroad functions to create animated model railroad pieces hand built from scratch. I live in the Pacific Northwest and take most of my railroad inspiration from this region.
If you'd like to inquire more about my model building hobby, please write to me:

"Arbre De Couche" 1/65 Ratio
Je me suis mis au défi de construire un modèle fonctionnel d'un tour marin à l'échelle 1/65ème. Un tour marin pleine grandeur est principalement utilisé pour redresser, réparer ou construire un arbre d’hélice pour un navire. Pendant un certain temps, j'ai travaillé professionnellement dans un atelier avec un tour marin. Construire un modèle fonctionnel à l'échelle 1/65ème a été l'un de mes projets les plus difficiles. Je suis heureux qu'il coupe le métal de la même manière que la version pleine grandeur.

"Marine Lathe" 1/65 Scale Working Model
zhlédnutí 917Před 21 dnem
I challenged myself to build a working model of a Marine Lathe at 1/65th scale. A full size marine lathe is primarily used to straighten, repair or build a propeller shaft for a ship. For a time I worked professionally in a shop with a marine lathe. Building a functioning model at 1/65th scale was one of my most challenging project. I'm pleased that it actually cuts metal in the same way as the...

They inspired me to build a special model locomotive... of course I had to modify it.

Goldfinger Car Crusher HO Scale by Michael Bourda
zhlédnutí 195Před 3 lety
One of my favorite James Bond scenes is from the movie Goldfinger where Oddjob drives a brand new 1964 Lincoln Continental into the junkyard to be lifted by the crane and dropped into the hydraulic car crusher... then the cube of metal that was once a car is loaded up and driven away. That scene inspired me to build an HO scale animated model for my train layout. I designed the mechanics myself...

The- LAKE IT IS SAID NEVER GIVES UP HER DEAD
J'ai apprécier la vidéo même si j'y comprend rien !!! plein de bonne chose métallique
That is beautiful work! 👍👍👍
Good morning, Michael, My name is Dan. I live in Easton, and recently, I've been making HO-scale models of interesting Kittitas County buildings. I'm contacting you because I'd love to take a few pictures of my models in a layout. I currently don't have one of my own. For your trouble, I'd be happy to give you a copy of each model. It would only take fifteen minutes. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Dan
That's a helluva complex.
Hey. That was really cool. I have trains and watched videos. I wasn’t sure where you were going at first but then it all began to make sense. Very nice. Than you.
Look up Big Brutus in West Mineral kansas USA
Nice video! You have obviously put lots of effort into your layout and watching the video is very entertaining. Thanks for posting it!
Ned, thank you for the compliments! Very encouraging.
Great fork lift, like to know how you did this
many of my videos have a "making of" section... I should make one for the forklift. There's a lot going on under the surface ;-)
Nice railroad and history. Farmer needs to keep his cows penned. The train can't stop in time. Good switching speed. Enjoy your operations.
Thanks Mike!
