- If you want to add insane amounts of detail to your model railroad or diorama then you’ll definitely want to check out this video. I’ll step you through the process of creating an amazing set of utility poles with working streetlights that will take your modeling to a whole new level of realism.
It’s actually not as difficult as it seems… it just takes a lot of patience and time, the secret is to not rush. I didn’t build these utility poles in one sitting, it took me a few days. Sure you could probably build a few of these HO scale power poles in about 4 or 5 hours but it will probably drive you crazy.
The trick to making ultra realistic model railroad scenery is to start small and practice, lots of practice. By making small dioramas to test your skills and techniques you’ll be gaining the experience and knowledge to tackle bigger projects that you’ll be happy with.
For more information about building these model railroad details be sure to visit my website, you’ll also find all the 3D printer files there as well should you like to have a go at 3D printing the files and build your very own utility poles.

I've legit not been so excited to see a power pylon in my life
lol... for the last week all I notice is power poles on the side of the road! I'm even dreaming about them 😴
we require more vespene gas
@@BoulderCreekRailroad It's called an Eye Worm lol.
11:08 Tiny bug bro finally got to see what it would be like to be big. Very wholesome of you to do this build for him.
Great job. 👌
Missing some sneakers hanging from their laces.
lol... you are the second person to mention that... I totally wish I had thought of that before finishing the video!
hah, that's a fun stuff. I've see it in my country (Russia) many times, I thought it's only practiced here :D
Don't the sneakers mean you get can drugs here
@@invalidname.pleasetryagain122 I heard that gang members would throw tied sneakers on to lines to pay respect to fallen homies.
Skaters just do it when their old shoes get worn out 😂
I dont make scale models or anything, in fact I dont really build anything except Lego but for some odd bizarre reason I really enjoy your videos and find them really interesting.. and thats coming from a 41 year old male from Adelaide, SA. Keep up the amazing works.
Thanks Matthew, that a pretty good compliment 😃 I don't mind a bit of lego building as well, can't wait to get some spare time and watch a few episodes of Lego Masters!...
Matthew Williams that’s funny! Same here! Coming from a 39 yr old Canadian woman
Ha ha ha, now I don't feel so bad playing with Lego's (well sometimes) at 34. I am also Canadian! (As another commenter is as well).
I wouldn't have the patience to do this sort of stuff nor am I creative enough to make anything worth looking at.....hell, I'm not even creative enough to come up with ideas for a diorama or anything of the sorts ha ha ha.
I've said the exact same thing, but a 45 yrs women in Houston Texas...I JUST LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CHANNEL AND LUKE. TONS OF FUN, AND HELL WHO KNEW AT THIS AGE .....WATCHING THIS AND STAYING UP TO DATE ON ALL HE DOES KEEPS ME OUT OF TROUBLE. ALSO I GET EXCITED WHEN I SEE MORE PPL GET INTERESTED!!
I’m beginning to think we need to form a fan club called: The Talentless Followers Of Towan 🤣
I would like to see you create a Mars Settlement Scenery. Or how it could look like.
With buildings and machinery... and whatnot :) That´d be rly cool.
I'd definitely be interested in building a sci-fi type landscape... A mars settlement could be a cool project
@@BoulderCreekRailroad No need to bother about trees an rivers!
I second that!
@@Zorglub1966 there's always a way of adding trees and rivers, Luke will find it.
@@BoulderCreekRailroad Oh, yes yes yes yes yes YES, please. That sounds really amazing, seeing something like this done with your skill!
That's so freaking cool mate!
Bobby Duke Arts 😯
I guess im randomly asking but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my login password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@Crosby Kabir instablaster =)
@London Grayson Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@London Grayson It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
Can you print a tiny pair of shoes tied together and thrown over the lines outside the run down house that never opens it’s curtains?
oh dam... I so wish I did that and yes I could definitely 3D print shoes... why didn't I think of that!!! 😄
@@BoulderCreekRailroad do an add on video!
Matt Simpson Definitely! 🤣
A trap house;that is a great idea for a diorama of the ghetto/projects. Complete with gang graffiti,and street art/murals;with pairs of shoes hanging on the powerlines.
It's me, your 45 yrs biggest fan in Houston Texas...I JUST LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CHANNEL AND you LUKE. TONS OF FUN, AND HELL WHO KNEW AT THIS AGE .....WATCHING THIS AND STAYING UP TO DATE ON All you do , KEEPS ME OUT OF TROUBLE. ALSO I GET EXCITED WHEN I SEE MORE PPL GET INTERESTED!!
I usually read the comments not make them. Your work is always superior, but this is a video showing why your projects are mind bending. The detail you put into the little things are what makes everything so real. I sent a screen shot of the poles with the sky to a friend that installs these utility poles and he thought it was a pic of real poles. He asked where they were at because he thought it might be some his crew just put in after a storm here a week or so ago. I can't add to that.
Thats gotta be the best compliment possible... 👍
You're awesome. I have to build models for my job from time to time (public art proposals) and I've learned SO many handy tricks from your videos! Thank you!
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Hey all,
I'm currently working on my next video and also moving house.
While waiting for my next video, I've created a new Instagram account for my fans to post completed dioramas you've created (Conditions apply).
You can check out the latest activity via: instagram.com/bouldercreekrailroad/
See you soon.
Cheers,
Luke
As a Brit modelling American Railroads this is a fantastic guide into trying to create the right level of authenticity when your 4 thousand miles away from the real thing. Great presentation and superb modelling. Thank you for sharing
Absolutely incredible! I love the oddball stuff us HO modelers never think of to add to our layouts. Can't wait to build these in the future and add them in various places!
Astonishing detail! Thank you.
Every time I watch a new video from you , l always learn something new, l appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences thank you👍
thanks Glenn, it's great having a platform like CZcams that enables information to be shared so easily and I'm glad your picking up some new tips 😉
I don’t think real utility lamp posts are built with as much care as you’ve made these beautiful wee model ones!
Absolutely stunning work there Luke. You are such an inspirational modeller!
I like to go over some older films when I get the chance to browse CZcams. Luke, your channel never stops to surprise me, and these pole look fantasic. They amazing craftive creations, I bet you have a drawer full of spare or failed prints that will have another purpose at some stage. I wouldn't mind using some of them up on a 00/H0 scene for scrap loads in wagons or dumped at the junk yard, etc.
Your videos are so satisfying to watch ! 😁
thanks heaps, glad you enjoy watching them 😉
Lovin it ! I want replicate all your teachings in my model railway when i build it!
It's so realistic. All your previous scale models are amazing.
Great job sir....
How do you make this subject matter so interesting?? I don't even build models and I was excited to catch a fresh video.
This detail is just marvelous!
I aspire to your level of patience in creativity. You truly are the "King" of realism.
Absolutely amazing!
YES!!!! It's like Christmas morning whenever you upload a new video
Also, I will say, since I'm still in college and broke, whenever I get a full time job, you have my word that I will definitely support you on patreon. Can never get enough of these videos!
Thank you Rico, all the best with college.
WOW! Looks amazing!
You're work is absolutely incredible. Amazing to watch the quality continue to get better and better over time.
Just love watching these
Simply awesome!!
Fantastic work! Thanks
Stunning!
Absolutely amazing!! 😊
Interesting to see you do all this from "scratch", I've been following your channel for a while now and I realy like the way you work on and design your models. I might also start making dioramas, it's seems fun to make any landscape you want, just like you want, it looks like it's giving a feeling of you being "god" since you decide how you want the land to be and what you want to "live" on it.
Your attention to detail is simply brilliant
Wow, incredible!
Outstanding !
Mind blown! Well done, Luke!
Bloody well done!
This hits home! Amazing stuff.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Love your precision! Beautiful work.
I would love to see them integrated into a diorama and with some ageing process in them. Congrats for the amazing project, as always.
Great work Luke. Your skills are amazing and utility poles are normally overlooked so seeing these and how you did it is great. Love these, Clint
Fascinating video as always
Great video mate, Thanks!
You have a amazing patience sir!
They look great.
Perfect as always.
Incredible as usual 😯
Super jó! Nagyon szép munka!
As per usual Luke. A fantastic video. Thank you for your expertise.
Thanks a lot for all the ideas in this video: web sites and processes. I really appreciated this one, saw it twice to gather all possible details.
Brilliant work!
Amazing. Jaw-dropping.
Amazing details! Awesome work
These are BEAUTIFUL
You have very good technique!
I respect you!
Fantastic!!!
This is just nuts. Well done.
Another amazing build Luke
I wish this video had gone up a year ago (when I first attempted some rudimentary power poles), but honestly I don't think I could have done these justice then. I'm not sure I could do them justice now! Another great job, Luke, especially on a tweezer-heavy project.
I kind of miss that no bottles were flipped :)
Again, your videos are so relaxing to watch. I don’t build at all but every time you upload, I have to watch ASAP. The precision and attention to detail is so soothing!
Luke, that is awesome! Can't wait to get my Anycubic photon printer so I can start making these among other things! Thanks a ton for sharing your 3D printer files! Great job!!!!
Brilliant!
Incredible detail, you are gifted In Creating these 🌟
Those are very realistic looking utility poles! Another helpful tutorial. Thanks for sharing this.
Please keep the videos coming Luke. I've been following and watching your channel for a few years now but your videos have helped me through a dark time this past year. Love your models and work. Hopefully you can push out two videos a month if family life doesn't get in the way. Cheers boss man.
Amazing work, as usual!
Very useful tips for your layout. The best I personally think is that all these things and tutorials are homemade. I am a big fan of your channel. :)
Great stuff. Love the quality of everything (editing, production and building). I would love to see a 1980's New York subway train scene with graffiti on it and litter everywhere.
Great idea!
Adding the Equalizer to the scene would be a nice touch.
but everything you make looks so real and amazing so keep doing more :)
Amazing and beautiful workmanship.
Incredible!!
outstanding !
Wow, nice tutorial Luke.
Awesome work!!!!!!
Super creative..... amazing
You have out done yourself Luke. Beyond amazing.
Amazing work!
I was so excited and pleased with the length because it fit perfect into my lunch break !!!!! So of course I told my coworkers about it when I got back... too much fun!!!! Great job Luke
All your videos have impeccable quality - thank you for the work you've put into this!
Genius at work!!!!
BEAUTIFUL
Lovely again! You're not a simple modelrailroader. You're an artist!!!
Fantastic! Best of the best.
Modelling at it's very best, ultra realistic, well done
Yes dude I’ve been waiting for an upload and this is sick
That's amazing great job
You're like a machine. Much respect.
Truly a Master of detail, incredible work!
Superb work
Excellent and amazing skill!
The length you go to for detail is absolutely insane. I'm in no way artistic nor do I even desire to create anything, but I love watching your videos.
Cripes this is astonishing
Really beautiful job, man... FANTASTIC job! 😃
I've been waiting my whole life Wondering when we get another video, here it is!
