  • It's the the final week of work sessions as I wrap up the On18 Bandit Canyon Railway! An ancient native American cliff dwelling finds its way into a rocky alcove as the cliffside scenery is finished around the entire layout. Then it's time to wrap up the barn wood fascia, build in some hidden access hatches, and put the final touches on the layout with a last round of detailing. The Bandit Canyon Railway is done! Thanks for coming along for the ride.
    Thanks for watching, amigos!

    Dear Dave, said it before; the Bandit Canyon is truly an extra asset to the entire Thunder Mesa layout in your studio. Even though the base color is differing from the one layout to the other, the way they blend together makes it a great example of how the vistas you told a while ago can be expanded truly come to life. Curious for the look of the traveling layout on your California meet. Cheerio

    Thank you Dave! I have been following your channel for some time now and I am continually amazed at your expertise. The Bandit Canyon is a summation of your ‘minds eye’ and your modeling skills. In a word, the Bandit Canyon Railway is “Outstanding!”. I am looking forward to your next project! David E. , former On30, now, N Scale TTRAK modeler.

      It looks much bigger and heavier than it is. Remember, it's only 2x3' and made almost entirely of foam.

    Your ability to capture the spirit of the Southwest, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon, Magellan Rim and other places, with a little spirit of the whimsy, add trains and make it look as though they belong is astounding. I really enjoyed this build, as I did Gruesome Gulch. I am really looking forward to watching your Thunder Mesa remake. Keep it up, you are a true inspiration to all of us who watch your You Tube channel.

    I’m old enough to have used an outhouse as a child at my grandmother’s rural farm house. The whole is deep, in part, to reduce the smell and flies in the summer. So, pooping on top of a ruin? I’m glad your layout is set before agencies would question the placement of the outhouse!

    Dave, I don't get why these small layouts seem to be so popular! There doesn't seem to be much opportunity for Operations. My old HO layout was pretty much a roundy-roundy, but did have some operational capability and ended up being torn down because I felt that a layout should be dedicated to operations. Is their popularity due to scenic building and quickness of build? The fact that I don't understand, means little to those who find them so fascination, who am I to judge? However, be assured that I love watching you build them!!!!

    • @ThunderMesaStudio
      @ThunderMesaStudio  Před měsícem +2

      It's about the storytelling and the artistry. What's not to get? Model railroading as a story telling medium. Operations is a fun role playing game, but it's not for everyone and it's not the only way to enjoy the hobby. Some people just like to make models that tell a fun story. To each their own.

      I use N scale couplers. Others have used HOn3 couplers with good results.
