Model Railroad Adventures With Bill
Registrace 31. 08. 2015
Model railroading is an adventure that we take for many reasons. Maybe it’s the thrill of watching trains run we remember from our youth or recreating scenes we’ve seen that stuck with us. Maybe it’s a longing for yesteryear or listening to the thunder of modern motive power. Regardless of the reason we take on the adventure of creating on own worlds in miniature. I’m no different so enjoy as I take you along for the adventures I have. Welcome to Model Railroad Adventures with Bill.

Deciduous Tree Build for Cedar Valley O Scale Modelers Club Layout. MRAw/Bill EP295
Finally building the deciduous tree I promised the club a long time back . Now having built it I have to ship it 😜
Construction is easy using the wrapped wires and you get great results.

Took a passenger train while in Thailand last trip. Wonderful experience even though it was a hot day. This was a train that stopped at every station on the line. Did have vendors board about every two hours and you could get a wide assortment of food and beverages 😄

your cough is caused by the cyanoacrylate "firing" off... it is nasty stuff... use better ventilation!
At first, I thought the method was a bit clunky but I must admit the results changed my mind. Thank you for your clear demo.👍🏼
That is toooooo coooool I love your layout
I love shopping there, it worth the time.
Hope all is well and being patient for your next update on your work on the layout.
Just found this video after watching so many and so glad I did. Trees look great and don’t take forever to make. Now just to find the materials here in Western Australia
Enjoy your videos very much. Lots O' great scratch building going on. Budget for most can be an issue. Your scenery aproach is my kinda style. Thank you. Keep em' coming Mr. Bill.
I’m using the same technique for my leaves and branches, but your trunk technique is brilliant!
Love this, great work
I was wondering what happened to all the equipment from that company thank God somebody saved some of it bless you
The Great Western ran through Elmhurst Illinois the town I grew up in which became the Illinois prairie path I have original railroad ties spikes rails a lot of stuff from that railroad
تشکر بابت آموزش دوست عزیز ❤🙏🇮🇷🤘
Nice work. That must be very helpful to be able to swap your sections around to "change" the layout from time to time. Excellent idea. Happy Modelling
Hey Bill, Very good video and helpful. Your finished product looks great! I was wondering if you could shed more light on the specific brand of furnace filter material you are using. Home Depot in our area only has fiberglass filter material, and I think you mentioned that the material you use is a natural fiber (14:57). Are you using Hog Hair filter material perhaps? We tried using Scotch-Brite scouring pads (Industrial Strength); the only thing we could find that seemed close, and it worked OK, but those are no fun to pull apart into thin layers. This seems to be the key part of great looking trees so we'd like to get it right. Thanks!
It’s called NaturalAire. I haven’t checked Home Depot in a while but I see online that places like Ace Hardware and others carry it. It works perfect for these trees 😃
@@modelrailroadadventureswit6347 Thanks for the tip! Hopefully will work better than the Scotch Brite...haha.
Question if allowed the grapevine wire to extend an inch or two below the dowel core could you use that for modeling the tree roots?
Along the way, I've heard that seafoam branches can be sprayed with a little glycerin ... maybe diluted a bit ... to keep them pliable. Currently, I have seafoam seedlings ready for transplanting into larger deck pots to grow during the summer into fall. My first experiment with growing them! Ever hear about the glycerin? Seems your diluted white glue worked well. Cheers ...
The best diciduous tree model I have seen! All it needs is a squirrel!
Thx 4 the vid .
Glad to see your skill on tree building. I use your technique for pine tree building on my layout. I am going to have to try this one now. 😁😁😁😁😁😁
You should retured Dr. Valish. He has a wooden caboose on rails and otger Oelwein hub items in his home tard...and a train track real scale,1:1. He lives on South Frederick st. By the city park south of town
I worked the Oelwein shops in the late 70s early 80s the roundhouse was gone but i worked running repair and in the back shop rebuilding locomotives
I’m a railroad enthusiast. I am not a “buff,” whatever the heck that is.
Lionel trains no matter what era NEVER made a Chicago Great Western 6464 type boxcar!!! Why?? I do not know. Go figure?
You are your own worst critic! The layout is fantastic!
😋 Promo_SM
Nice technique.
Loved the train ride. Awesome trees and thanks for sharing. Dave
Before I forget. Looking forward to when you start your next layout, if and when you do.
Just dropping you a quick note. I have been using your style of tree building on my 0n30 layout. Yes, I have tweaked it just a bit like any modeling person does, but thank you for all you do. Hoping next year I can get my layout to the Coastal Rail Buff show for 2025. Thanks again.
Thx for the vid.
Dear Bill, said it before, great to see how you’re preparing the display for the presentation of your tree building clinic. Also, a great reminder in footage of your method. Curious to see how the crowd will react at the NMRA meet. Cheerio
The bottom of my Folger Can was rusted out, so I trashed it and am using an old A&P can instead.
Lot of work, but then end result is worth it. I'm getting the hang of deciduous trees, I need to challenge myself with some evergreens. Thanks for the video, enjoyed the Amtrak ride. Take care!
Super cool How To and demo. Nice train ride video too. Hope Dennis doesn't get queasy watching.
excellent looking trees bill!! definitely will try this. thanks for sharing !
Awesome job, whish I could go to Richmond. Thanks for sharing. Dave
Dear Bill, very cool you’re doing a tree building clinic for this NMRA meet. Very much like the approach you’re taking, with the line of trees in different phases and a bunch of prepped wire armatures for folks to make some tree building attempts! Sort of doesn’t surprise me that painting the armatures first and then slathering ‘m in Mod Podge and ground cover, works better. Might be that an acrylic works best. However, any paint cover of the florist wire with its rope will create a better bite for the Mod Podge. With the Mod Podge added before painting, the rope may just suck out the moisture of the glue to quickly. The paint first will fill up the pores to prevent such. You might even be able to use a cheapo dispersion primer. On the running action of the Mod Podge, it just sticks much better to especially acrylic surfaces. Cheerio
Good job 👍👍👍👍👍👍🖖
Novel idea...why not show us how to make trees! You talk around it, but never hands on how you make your trees. It's frustrating to the new modeler when you and others never show exactly how you make something on camera by doing it.
You can do a search of the videos on the channel. Type in Build a Tree with Bill and you see the process step by step. You can also do a keyword search for trees. I’ve got a number of videos out there showing construction of both conifers and deciduous trees 👍🏼
Also look for the video I have out called Build Realistic N and Z scale trees. It shows how I build this style of tree from start to finish. The other video I tend to use for larger scales
Glad a model railroader from Virginia. I’m a beginner from Chester. Some things take a while for me (100% Disabled Veteran), but won’t quit. Please keep up the great work!
You are not too far from me. I’m in the north end of the city up near Short Pump. Slow and steady does win for everything so yes keep at it . And thank you for the compliment and for your service to our country !!
Thanks for the reply!
Really good methodology ..... will try it when I get moved to the new home and re-build...... Thanks. Keep up the good work
Thanks! It’s enjoyable to build trees and so many different ways to construct them 😃
Looking good. Thanks for sharing. Dave
Thanks Dave!
Nice looking trees....so much better than bottle brush style trees, thanks
Thanks!!! For sure. I couldn’t get what I wanted from commercial kits so I took to making them myself. It’s so satisfying 😃
Very nicely done, looks nice and runs good.
Thanks Steve 😃
You didn't happen to Lock Yourself out of the train room did you, like someone we know. ;)
Good work Bill. Can I suggest Jerry get a portable rerailing ramp to assist placing cars on the track. Cheers Peter.
Great work Bill 👍👍 So nice of you to do this for Jerry. Looking forward to your next project.
Thx for the vid.
Very cool Bill. Great tips. Thanks
Hey, didn't I just see you on Back on Track? ;)
