  • Welcome to the Blaxland Backshops, where I'll be discussing and going through the build process for custom model trains I create.
    "Alex" is the Blaxland Ridge's #1. here's how I made him.
    I have wanted to gear my channel towards my models forever now, but haven't had the motivation to make videos. I don't plan on making videos frequently, but when I do, here's what to expect.
    Enjoy!

    If the fictional railroad and model is a love letter to 1800’s railroading then this video is a love letter to custom work and model railroading. Unbelievable production value. This video raises the bar in so many ways. Loved loved loved the photos of him at the show. That was amazing.

    This is late but I recommend using Super Clean to strip plastic. It is faster than alcohol if you are striping acrylic paint and other kinds (but you probably will still need to use alcohol for enamel paints), but Super Clean will not harm plastic at all! It comes in purple bottles including a gallon jug.

    Nice to see some modernized Americans. If you come across another's one it could be interesting to modernize it into a 'fallen flag' turned logging locomotive with a stepbored pilot and heavily weathered, I did this on my LE American for awhile (now in the shop for a rebuild into an inspection locomotive) it was quite intriguing and boy it was easy to keep looking grubby burning wood lol!

    Texas has gone through some changes since then. Dispatch too. Both have received some decal and paint touch ups, and Dispatch has a whole new headlamp bracket that came from Precision Scale Models. Mind you, they are just two locomotives out of a fleet of 18.
    Right now, my priority is redoing a few parts on my General.

    @BlaxlandRidge3 yo is it cool if i also say my rivoiossi 4-4-0 was built along side Rino. it was originally a rino type but baldwin was making it for my railroad (J.C.R.R)
    it bacicly has the same stuff like yours & rino but i switched the headlight for a older looking one and planning on switching the smoke stack and replacing my broken pilot beam & pilot. i have 2 jupiter 4-4-0 s but there pretty mutch a stock model only thing iv done is paint them. J.C.R.R #1 had its gears and tender motor removed (i model in N scale but like customizing ho 4-4-0 s) i had some old break line tube so thats the new smoke stack for #1. im close to getting J.C.R.R #1 done just need a swinging bell, but #2 #4 #5 are becoming a project still looking for a #3 its the u.p 119 the bachmann one but cant find one that is cheap and money is a nother reason why lol. i have a old rivorossi 2-4-0 (#5) but i probably wont mess with that one probably a parts engine. if you do read this thankyou for reading my long ass coment lol you were my insporation for customizing 4-4-0 s hell for getting into 4-4-0 s / 4-6-0 s wild west era
