- Soldering Brass Railings @ 18:59. This is the final episode covering the Model Railroad "Big Warehouse" flat. I revisit some of the methods from the Brewery build coupled to some commentary and the importance of simple details when scratching building any structure.

I utterly love this channel, and most of all your contemplations on modelling. It really helps my own thought process to hear you thinking out loud.
Great to hear!
It truly is a pleasure to watch your channel and learn how to make various items that make a MR layout pop. I'm not anywhere near your skill level, but I enjoy watching how you create items from nothing!
Awesome! Thank you! Cheers ~ Boomer
what can I say . every time I watch one of your videos I learned something new. thank you very much.
Good to hear. Cheers.
I have been very privledged to have been with some great modelers but I learn so very much from your videos every time I watch them. Thank you so very much for all of your work and teaching.
You are very welcome
Boomer, you make it look so simple. The use of the different shapes and evergreen items is so obvious that many of us might overlook them. Thank you for opening my eyes to the simple things and not to over think it. Take care. Sean.
Thank you. Cheers.
I must sound like I am on a recorded loop but there is no other channel on CZcams which goes into and explains scratch building like your channel. Those light boxes and the roofing details are so simple when you break them down. I am hooked! It’s actually a bit of a disappointment to work on a kit now but I can at least use what I have learned from this channel to kit bash the kits and make them just a little different from everyone else’s.
You describe what happens to those who venture into scratch building, even though it is fun to build kits and kit-bash as well.
Very thoughtful. I think I would have hung a shaded lamp above thr back door, with a tiny streak of rust from the fitting.
You had me when you went from roof vents -- very handy -- to light boxes without saying you were now talking about the external walls.
I love the final video but I've posted before about how I love the clutter along that line that makes it look busy but not enough to clean it up. It's not about the detail but the appearance of detail that leaves an impression.
Fabulous!
Clutter and details are for another pass at some other time down the road for me. Thanks for sharing though. Cheers ~ Boomer.
Indeed Boomer, all those little details tell the visual stories of the company which runs the facility, the people who worked and work there. The postage stamp approach in my humble opinion is also a way to intersperse those very aspects of modeling, where it touches on storytelling. Like the written stories will become more interesting, when the gap between the loading bay and the access landing is mentioned. Or into the details of the rain profile above the door, the exit sign, cameras or outside lighting. It all adds to the narration.
Love the way you show how to make the lamps, roof vents and concrete stairs. And as always, how the making more than just one single piece, improves the quality of each object. As does the ‘leaving proud’ where one can clean up later.
Thanks for sharing Vincent. Cheers.
I love Dusty’s cameos
Me too. Dusty has been hiding alot lately. Due to construction in the neighborhood. She disappears when machines are in the area for some reason. The vibration freaks her out. Soon she should appear again.😁
Amazing! The little simple details are the backbone for making the scene really pop. Awesome work as always!
Thank you Gene. Cheers.
Such calm. Such patience. Zen Model Railroading.
A simple but effective model when you think about it. ;-)
It’s always comforting to listen to you speak to the art/design side of modeling because it’s almost verbatim to what I would say if I were advising someone.
What a great hobby and art form it is!
Hello Boomer. Again a great video with great ideas. Thank you and greetings - Tino
Thank you! Cheers!
Always a joy to watch professional model builders in action... I've gotten many modeling tips from your channel so far Boomer, thanks for sharing your techniques/work experience with us.
Great to hear! Thank You. Cheers.
YOU HAVE DONE SUCH A WONDERFUL JOB!
Thank you. The rewards are starting to be evident! Cheers ~ Boomer.
Another excellent piece of work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for another common sense tutorial. You make it look so easy!
You bet!
I always learn something from watching you. This is timely, I just aquired a kit of the Gramps oil loading dock in Chama NM. It is made from pipe and elbows etc. I can either use your method of rod and tube and probably have to solder the upper hand railings. Awesome.
Sounds like a nice build. ;-) Cheers.
Beautiful
😁
I think all scenes are of the “postage stamp” idea as all these small details end up creating a larger well detail scene or vignette. The paint and shading blends and brings it all together. Very nicely done love the final product.
It sure is fun to do! Cheers and thank you.
Great layout, I qould enjoy it too
Thank you. Cheers.
That is so cool. Great video.
Thanks for watching!
The details make the build. Fantastic job, can't wait to see the it painted and weathered. Thanks for sharing with us.
Sure thing. Cheers.
Your detailing is amazing! One of the best layouts I have seen!
Thanks so much 😊
Great content once again , and those light boxes are humongous. I have one myself from an airplane hanger I took down. The way you put them on the model is a nice touch. I may not be able to use them on my industrial buildings due to the style. Also I notice you always refer to the real world. I try to randomly make a door hand crooked or damage siding or bend a rail here and there....just a thought. I may also try those styrene letters and numbers if I can get them...thanks
Great idea! Cheers.
@@boomerdiorama Also to let you know. Tichy Train Group has some very nice open grate platforms that come with hand rails. I know you build your own rails , but the grates are fantastic for a styrene parts. Also them being styrene they can simply be glued. I pick up some packs for 2 $at a show this weekend and am able to use them for my N scale builds also....just sharing info ...keep up the good work.
@@adriengadson3544 Thanks for sharing!
FYI The number and alphabet strips are made in the UK by Slater's Plasikard. Just googled them and they sell them in a variety of sizes.
Thanks for sharing the link. Cheer!
Great scene and details! You make it look so easy!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey Boomer. I had the National Geographic Channel on earlier today while doing stuff around the house. It was that series where they visit different trains around the world (Love those Trains?) and they were up in your neck of the woods on the Fraser River. Sorry I couldn't watch it.
Very cool. The Fraser Canyon is cool with CP on one side and CN on the other and how they cross over at Cisco Bridge. ;-) Cheers.
Very Good
Thank you! Cheers!
Circles and squares :-)
It's not a complicated build. ;-)
😊
Cheers! ;-)
In the short time I’ve been a subscriber, you’ve really taught me a lot. So thank you for that. Now a question, if your warehouse were deeper and you were to do skylights, how would you go about that? The commercial and 3D-printed options are a bit costly for the quantity that I need. Thanks I’m advance for any suggestions.
I would probably build the "Sky-Lights" from styrene like a low profile rectangle box (like a mini house with gable roof sides). Then, I would lay on thin strips for frames like I would frame a roof before sheeting, sand it up and paint it, then drop in a piece of clear plastic for the window glazing from the inside with canopy glue. Check out the Brewery Build light boxes and vents here: czcams.com/video/Zp_6TONwrIk/video.html
This is a similar approach. I would build them as mini models and then mount them, at the end. I hope that help you some. ;-)
Hey Boomer could you share the video build on the Scenic Details HO 1/87 Scale "Hi - Rail" Excavator kit. I just finished scratch building a MOW building and added two of your security cameras to it. Thanks, Ed
Sure thing. The Scenic Details HO 1/87 Scale "Hi-Rail" Excavator kit is next in que. ;-) Cheers ~ Boomer.
Hey Boomer. Just curious what you do for uncoupling at the present. I use bamboo skewers. However I do have a couple of spurs close to the back that I want to try some small neodymium magnets. Not my idea. However I've seen them used and I like how effective they seem to work.
Great video BTW. I agree it's the small details that really help a scene pop. Thanks for taking the time to share your skills sir. 🙂👍
I use a bamboo skewer as well. If I need to push a car I just gimble the coupler to push and then back away since there is no grade.
I'm new to soldering - what is in the yellow jar and how is it used? ? Flux? My attempts on N scale rail joints so far have been disastrous, many ties have been melted.
Soldering paste is a must to get a quick clean solder.
Then clean it off (soak away) with Isopropyl Alcohol, which evaporates. ;-)
Buying the materials to make and then making your lights isn't anywhere as expensive as buying pre-made lights to go on the side of the buildings. You can buy the materials to build what, say 20 at the same cost it would take to buy say 5 or less pre-made ones. Seems like more of a deal to build them yourself if you have the skills to do so.
Some subjects are cheap to build for sure.
Give Dusty a pet and Wendy a kiss on the cheek for putting up with you
Lol . . . Cheers James ;-)
Thank you, thank you! I was planning to do this, mentally figuring it out and presto, you make a video. I wondering what diameter of tube has hole to feed wires through? Rather than a solid piece.
You can find smaller (hollow tube) diameter in brass from K&S metals.
Dusty!
Lol . . . yes . . . Dusty.
10:56 So why not just use C-channel?
It's not deep enough for this one. But you can for a narrow bezel if you so choose. ;-)
Hey Boomer, it's been awhile. Hope you're well! Layout looks awesome man. On a different note. I've been seeing a lot of guys on IG, and CZcams literally doing spinoffs and literally replicating your tutorials but with that cheesy diy music and it really grinds my gears. Why? because it has no mention of you, no credit, nothing. Lol, A douglas fir made from floral wire and static grass is pretty obviously your thing 😂
but hey, In a world of imposters, yada yada yada, I think it may be time to teach the younger generation maybe about stealing ideas for their own and not giving credit, without it, the world is Anarchy if you ask me! just saying! Cheers 👍🏻
My wife told me that is the ultimate compliment . . . lol.
Cheers and thanks mate - Boomer.
@@boomerdiorama well put 😂
@@westonoverland Cheers and great to hear from you again!
@@boomerdiorama Same to you, been hard at work on my own layout recently and havn't been doing a whole lot of Viewing on the tube, but I still owe you the credit for getting my butt motivated to want to start one in the first place! lol, Keep on, Keepin on 🤘🏻
@@westonoverland Thank you Weston. I respect your candidness and class. ~ Boomer.
