- Hello Everyone!
We are back agin with yet another exciting project. Since you have all shown great interest in my small freight car series, I decided to take a step into passenger car building. Since I'm a Santa Fe guy, I decided to make a sleeper based off of a G scale Santa Fe sleeper I had in my basement.
Join me as I start a new series of videos to document how I build this passenger car!
Looks great so far. I look forward to the progress.
Thank you very much! The next video will be out very soon, and I will say that the project has taken an unexpected turn ☺
Nice work!
Truly beautiful! A work of art! Happy new year to you and your family!
Thank you very much Armando! Happy new year to you and your family as well! ☺
Great work. Happy new year
Thank you very much for the kind words and happy new year to you as well! ☺
WOW! Awesome!
Welcome to my channel and thank you so very much for your interest and encouragement ☺
Warbonds, I always love hearing your passion in everything you are building. Keep it up!
Thank you so much for those kind and encouraging words! I’m so glad my personality and passion really shows to the audience! ☺
You have become an artist ! I would like to see you ware a beret when you make your video’s 👍👍
😂 I will have to see if I can arrange that! 😂
This is your best build yet! This really looks amazing!
Thank you so very much! I will do my best to keep them coming! ☺
@@warbonds thanks!
Really impressed with your passion and work. Just stumbled across your site recently and am really glad to be along for the ride now.
Well, first of all, welcome to my channel, and thank you so very much for your kind and encouraging words! I’m certainly glad that you’re here, and I will keep the videos coming as best as I can! ☺
Cool video and channel just subscribed. WOW. What a model
Thank you very much for subscribing, and I certainly appreciate all your kind comments! ☺
I know that car will look great when completed. Maybe by the end of 2024, you may attempt the build an Santa Fe RDC. Happy New Year
Happy new year to you as well, and thank you very much for the kind words! After having read your comment last night, I did a little research to see how difficult it would be for me to build an ATSF doodlebug. I will have to get through the passenger car project first before I know whether I have what it takes to, do anything like that. ☺
Great work. Just wondering if you are putting details under the car? Keep it up
Thank you very much for the kind words, and yes, every car that I build has underframe detail. ☺
Another Great Video, and Project ! Best Wishes !
Thank you very much Stanley, for your kind words and interest! ☺
I love the content you make! I love hearing your discussions and the way these projects are built.
Thank you so very very much for those kind words! I’ve been told on occasion that I talk too much, but I’m so glad that I have an audience that appreciates what I have to say, and gets information and encouragement for me as much as I get encouragement from all the kind comments and encouragement! ☺
Looks like a good project. The aluminum cars from Iron Pony are hard to find and built to someone else’s desire. At the St Croix RR, they use folded towels for cushions and insertable foot rests. You can see them in their videos. Keep up the good work.
Steve
Thank you very much for your kind words as always, Steve! The more I thought about it, it will probably just be a regular car, since I want to put enough detail on it to make it an interesting car as opposed to detracting from the detail by notching out the roof. Next time, I will try to build it as a baggage car so that my sides are way more solid if I so desire to sit on it. ☺
Nice work could you make a combin passenger car happy new year 🎉to you and your family
The one thing that I’m thinking about doing after this is a shorter RPO car, but I have to get through this build first. ☺
This is going to be an amazing project! Clever use of the G scale cars to get your outlines, and you're making a great start!
Funny coincidence - I was at my LHS a couple days ago and they have old issues of model railroad magazines in the back for 50 cents each. I usually pick up 3-4 without paying too much attention to what I was getting. One was Model Railroader from February 1958, with a photo on the front of a detailed caboose interior and the caption "This IS a model!" On page 26 was the article about 1" scale models!
There was a photo taken on the interior of the builder's (Leo Myers) 1" scale combine, which looked pretty real. From the article: "You have only to study the photo to come up with the unnerving realization that there are no giveaways...no large screw heads...no out-of-proportion fittings. Everything is right." Lots of photos. They builder had a spur in his basement where he stored rolling stock and the track ran out to his back yard!
Some feedback on your audio - the music starting when you're unrolling the photo is _way_ too loud, and is very distracting because it covers your voice. So, might just keep that in mind. Could have done without it.🙂
I truly appreciate your kind words and encouragement! It’s comments like this that really make my love for doing content on this channel so much fun! 😁
Really like watching these great creations, If I were you, I'd get a metering table saw with a scroll attachment and maybe look into using a marine ply board, the stuff they use on boats it might work out cheaper if you get 4'×8' boards. Anyway, don't stop what you're doing it so cool.
I certainly appreciate the suggestions. That kind of wood may be more expensive, but since I never intend for these to get wet, the poplar wood that I use works perfectly fine.
I certainly appreciate the suggestion of the tools as well because I have definitely acquired a number of tools That I never thought I would need, but they’ve become handy for the work that I do! ☺
Awesome work so far. Looking forward to the progress!😊
Thank you very very much for the kind words, Gary! I’m certainly looking forward to the time when we can get together and you can see all of these projects that are in pieces and parts actually get assembled and completed to where they actually run!
That is gonna be awesome! You remind me of my father! Railways and wood....my dad actually built 4 houses in westchicago by himself, 3 while working at Rock Island....the boy never sleeped i tells yeah! Well before crew callers so to say! Anyway after watching some of your older videos im nearly positive i ran into you! Did you work interchange trains with CCP.
That’s very kind of you to say that I remind you of your father!! It will be five years this month that I lost my father, but that’s awesome that we have wonderful memories of the kind of leader ship, and determination that our fathers had!
When I worked in the Chicago area, I worked for CNW, but I ran between proviso and Clinton, Iowa. Every now and then we would go to the BRC to deliver a trains for interchange, but I don’t remember if I specifically hand it off to CCP crews.
However, I know that a lot of people know who I am between the fact that I have met so many people over the years and the Chicago area between model railroading and actual railroading ☺
@@warbonds my dad passed nearly 23 years ago....from a illness that was slow going from Vietnam due to agent orange...maybe were I ran into you was the BRC...I met so many great people in the early 90s and into the 2000s...my last 5 to 8 years everyone seem to be afraid, the new hires never talked much....
Hi, there, my real name is Ben Bibb. I was born in February of 1974. Maybe Amtrak got a lot of those cars in 1971, but in early 1982, I saw a few of them in a scrap yard somewhat close to the Amtrak station in Fullerton, California. Museums and or rail excursion companies might have those cars. Via Rail in Canada has been talking about discarding those cars because money is the root to all evil. If passenger train corporations think it would save them money to oust the classic equipment and put new equipment into service, guess what they are going to do. Well, I'm glad there is one thing people cannot scrap or discard and that is your videos.
Hello Ben, and welcome to my channel! I really appreciate the kind words and your commentary. It’s a shame that so many of these wonderful relics have been scrapped, but I would definitely love to get around to a few museums that actually have a few pieces left over.
When it comes to the decisions that the corporations make, when it comes to their equipment, we could be here all day, discussing it, and never get the true answer. As one of my friends would say, it’s their railroad and their money. Though I’ve been in the industry for 30+ years, I’ve never hit the paygrade that allows me to make those decisions. 😁
@@warbonds Hi, there, and thank you for your response. If I find any museums who have those passenger cars, I'll tell you everything I know about what I found providing that the museums are open to the public.
Seasons greetings. CZcams came up with your thumbnail holding the sleeper and after seeing what your making I'm instantly hooked.. if okay and I don't mean to offend, the music is perfect tho is it okay to lower and hold the background music to the decibels of around the 19:30 minute mark ? The music was stealing your thunder of your presentation and I found it hard to concentrate on what you were saying... Can't wait to see the finished result. Have a great day 😊
Welcome to my channel and thank you for the kind words on my work! I appreciate your tactful presentation in regard to the music volume. As I do the next video, I will certainly think about how I’m putting it together and try to blend the sounds a little better. I wanted to get this video out before the midnight hour, so I may have rushed a little bit, but I’m glad you enjoy the content and my channel! ☺
Eric, if you don’t know you can’t build something you want, there is nothing you can’t do.
Make certain the car will track the curves where you intend to run it.
Thank you very much for the kind words and encouragement as always! The curves that we have at our club are definitely wide enough to accommodate a car like this. There is another gentleman who runs the train of long, heavyweight, southern pacific passenger cars, and they track just fine. ☺
I love listening to your videos! One thing is the music is pretty loud, more that your voice
Are you considering drilling for dowels to keep everything lined up during any gluing and clamping?
DITCH THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We would rather hear what you are saying rather than trying to hear what you are saying. Why do CZcamsrs do that?
