MRUV 100: Scenic Detailing & Preparations for All Aboard Dinor Scratch Build

- This update shows a little bit of progress on the layout, mostly finishing up scenes and getting the signal bridge weathered and permanently installed. We then discuss the plan and possibilities for the Lake City area. There are several scenic items under consideration for inclusion, but as usual space will be a concern so compromises will need to be made.
The video concludes with the start of the scratch build of the All Aboard Dinor (yes, it is spelled with a "o" around here...). The location, concept, compromises, and concerns are discussed. The main goal initially was to get a scale drawing of the building (just the plan view for now) so that the foundation can be built and installed on the layout. That will allow scenery to continue and the building can then be placed once completed.
The build itself will likely be several videos and will be included in the "Scratch Build Series" playlist.
The time is approaching for the return to my on-site job in Homer City, PA. There may be one more update before departure, then things will slow down as I will be away until late June. (I hope no longer!) During the time on-site I plan to work the Dinor- additional building plans, construction plan, sourcing details, etc.

That "little area" at 2:08 looks absolutely stunning, a lot "vertical" stuff going on in there. Nice to hear the return of the Bensound "Happiness" main theme.
Excellent, educational and entertaining - Here's to the next 100 !
As always, great video and thank you for sharing your ideas and how-we-do-it. Your layout has taken on the look of a very real railroad, attention to details that maybe some of us other's might overlook. Interesting to see how you go about deciding how to do a scene. The "Dinor" build should be cool to watch. Stephen thank you for sharing and taking me along on the journey.

Rob those Valves in the Field are Shut off Valves for Natural Gas lines. Around Indiana they are painted yellow so that they can find it buried in the snow if it gets that deep. They are usually fenced off with an 8 foot chain linked fence with Concertina wire on top. If you cant find the Switch lamps. what about scratch building them out of Cone shaped beads and Jewels? Let me look thru my wifes beading materials and see if I cant find the shallower cones that small Jewels would sit in. Heck might have to take a run to Hobby lobby or Michaels to see what they have, I know that they have them. :)
Finished vid, look forward to watching the build , always enjoy your work and detail work
Wow! That signal bridge is AWESOME!!!!!
Congrats on hitting 100! Interesting project. Looking forward to it.
At 24:55 there was a headless guy in the photo from inside the All Aboard Dinor! May be a lot of work but it is really going to be nice when it's done. Can't wait to see the progress of the build series. Great work Rob! Cheers, Dan
Great update and nice additional details on some of the things I thought were finished! They're NEVER finished! I know what you mean about things being larger than we perhaps think. At one time I was planning to model my local railway station, and surroundings, until I realised the platform alone would be 15-16 feet! even in OO scale.
layout is looking great. you have lots of green space. so i like the ice cream caboose idea. you do nice scratch builds so this one will be looking forward to. but the next area looks to be a bit of a challenge. 😂 aw your leaning towards no ice cream, love the Hornet. have some fun, and thanks for sharing
nice, congratulations on the 100th update movie
Great video. Love your attention to detail.
excited to see this building complete! I just had dinner there last month.
your layout coming out awesome! looking forward to seeing your scratch-built.
Brilliant, Rob. I'm sure you'll more than do that station justice. BTW.......I'm about 80 miles due north of you in Brantford, Ontario so will be lookin' over yer shoulder, mate. If I had to vote on the best model railroading CZcams channel it would be yours. You can be proud of what you're doing. Cheers!
Wow- thank you Terry. And I am hoping to get to the Great White North soon- we have a shop in Stoney Creek. I am in need of some Rickard's Red...
Another really nice update! I especially like your vegetation. My current layout is set in the desert, so my approach to vegetation is a little different from yours. But I grew up in central Pennsylvania, and I can really relate to the way you do vegetation. ...Roy
I have just discovered your channel and I have to say I like your attention to detail. Looking forward to seeing more of your work as the layout progresses....Greg from Australia
Thank you Greg, and very glad to have you along!
Shame the caboose ice cream stand won't fit as that would of looked awesome, but can understand why you decided to omit it. Look forward again to more as always :)
Awesome update! Definitely do the ice cream caboose that would be cool.
Think the caboose would be a nice touch and conversation piece, especially given the location and name of restaurant
One of the biggest problems with model railroading is trying to fit everything we want into the space we ACTUALLY have....it's too bad you dropped the caboose part, if I were building it, I would make room for it BUT It's your layout not mine....I'm sure it will come out incredible as usual!!!
Nice Work. . . Great Details. .
Another fantastic video. That pipe arrangement at the start isn't uncommon I saw alot of natural gas pipes and valves while cycling along the Panhandle Trail in 2015. Alot of the "random" stuff you throw into your layout is the sort of things alot of people miss but as you are modeling something near to you I guess you can really examine the prototype for inspiration
Looking forward to the scratch build too!!
to build on that I have also noticed fences, or guards,often built around these valves. The fences and guards arent necessarily to keep people out but to prevent an accident like a tractor running them over or a car coming off the road and striking the value disabling the pipeline
THANKS VIDEO
great job !
Grandt line Products sells very good details doors, windows etc.
Stephen, tell me, how much time do you spend on the layout? A very realistic layout. You will look at other models and at once it is not natural, but everything is super. You are an artist who puts his soul into the layout, Thank you, I look forward to new videos with impatience. Your fan from Russia
I'd put that "value piping" away from the house area...maybe across the road in the teddy bear fur section. It looks like valving for an underground interstate gas line?
awesome man I am going to make a ho layout as well I love your layout
Nice!
That cap piece you could quite easily replicate with styrene from someone like Evergreen (if you can't find timber small enough to look right)...
Wow, your roads look so unbelievably realistic! How do you do them?
Looking forward to your next scratch build. I was always away from home from Mongolia to China to north of the arctic circle, engineering or building something. I know how it is...Regards, Solomon
It's great to see your layout progress. Is it a dialectic regionalism unique to the Lake City Area for folks to spell diners as "dinors", or is that unique only to the All Aboard Dinor?
It seems to be unique to the Erie, PA area. I never could find out exactly why. But most of the diners in this area are indeed spelled "dinor".
Was there a reason they spelled it dinor rather than the usual diner? Just wondering. Maybe they used the same sign painter that painted "Side Entrace" for a "TV and Stero Repair" shop in my hometown. Don't believe they had spell check in 1960.
It is an Erie, PA area "thing". Based on the googling I did, there doesn't seem to be a definitive reason. But nearly all the diners around here are dinors!
sweet
Stephen, I really appreciate what you are accomplishing on your layout! Here is a source that I know of for the "lanterns" you're seeking for your diner. They are called Ramapo.
www.njinternational.com/switch.htm They are are also sold by Walthers. Best of luck. Thanks for going to the trouble of sharing your layout build with us. It is appreciated and inspiring! - Paul K.
Ahhh HA! Perfect- thank you for the link!!
How did you number the signals?
Used MS Word. Arial 6pt, bold white font with black text highlighting was a close match. Carefully cut the numbers out and glued to the plates with Microscale Micro Liquitape.
really like your work have you ever bin on you tube model builders Thursday nite hangout if not you should consider
even the same gate is slow
he can not b that poor of a home owner ,,, look at that grill...hahaha like the pipe in the grass too ,,looks good man.
He got that from his wife Ellen's cousin's husband Clark- who was driving by on vacation with his family and felt sorry for him...
