Inspiration and information for model making and model railroading. This channel covers tools, techniques and actual construction of models and model railroading projects. Also touched upon are railroad related photography, rail fanning and similar topics. While the primary focus is 1/87th scale modeling (HO scale), including rolling stock, structures and scratchbuilding, there will be videos on model boats, airplanes, armored fighting vehicles and other subjects, most but certainly not all of which will be in 1/72nd scale.

Autonomous Geometry Boxcars - prototypes and modeling strategy
มุมมอง 46หลายเดือนก่อน
The easiest way to add a track geometry car to your railroad is by modeling a boxcar modified for the purpose. Several prototype railroads use them. I was inspired by a model of a CSX boxcar at RPM Saint Louis this year. Here I survey the prototypes and begin planning an autonomous track geometry boxcar for my freelance railroad. This is something I think you and I can model. WELCOME TO PK & W ...

This came out awesome, Bob , now I want one of these shells .
There's a kind of plastic resin used in the conservation industry called Paraloid B-72 that you dissolve in a solvent like IPA or acetone, it works exceedingly well for adding strength to parts. It's crystal clear (it has to be, or it wouldn't be used for conservation), removable with more solvent, you can adjust the viscosity by changing the resin/solvent ratio, and you can apply it with a brush or an airbrush. It can even be sanded to a certain extent. I haven't used it at high enough concentrations to be used like a glue, but I hear that works great as well. Makes paper act like plastic. Also very cheap.
What makes you think that the annoying music makes your video better?😮
That's incredible, Bob. Big congrats on it. I like that it's on Freeport Rd. I grew up in Freeport, Ill. That's got to be good luck for you or something. LOL
I missed this one but found it . Glad to hear your good news , look forward to seeing what comes this. Nice shirt 4:04 . All the best to you and the wife. Your on;y 5 hours away 😁😁 Let the fun and creating begin .
Very exciting news 🎉 nothing wrong with the wrong side of the tracks... Just keep a Louisville Slugger behind the door 🤣
Very nice, well deserved. Fun times, thanks for sharing. Dave
This is awesome for you.. congratulations. The sweat equity you put into it will be a labor of love. Youll be happy doing it.. looks like a great location.. cant wait to see the Railroad empire you build
Until what?? Everyone is a photographer until… what? lol. This is great news Bob. Talk aboot a BIG train shed. Can’t wait for the grand opening. If you serve cake I will be there.
Everyone is a photographer until M. Meaning manual setting. Thanks for the engagement. Will be developing layou in manageable stages. Cold rail. Shelf style. Cake it will be at some point!
Really cool !!!!!!!! This looks like a great building for you and your wife !!
Thanks Mark I hope your are well into the fall harvest!
Wow! That sure is exciting Bob, I'm drooling. Congrats. Looking forward to the new journey - best wishes to you and your wife.
Thanks John. You MUST visit when you get out west in our great state.
Looks like a great building to build a layout. Looking forward to following all of the progress. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks John. I'll see you in chat!
Congratulations and looking forward to seeing your progress! Nothing more exciting than a blank slate. Maybe it's the beginning of the Cheswick Model Railroad Club! 😀 I'm over in the North Hills myself with my little basement layout. Best of luck and again, congrats!
Thanks Paul. Can I call on you if I need a second set of hands on a big project?
@@PKWModelwerx Maybe in a few months after I recover from shoulder surgery.
Awesome, Mr Bob. Congrats! 🎉🎉🎉 Exciting news. Very happy for you both. 😍
Thanks Drew! No more excuses, especially after I retire!
Awesome that you found a place Bob! Looks like you've got your work cut out for you.
Yes indeed JD! But when winter arrives I'll be forced to focus inside and get the space in shaape. Giving myself six months before I start building benchwork.
Congratulations.
Thanks! Wish me luck!
Congratulations !!!!!! all the best to you (and your wife) in your endeavors !!!!!
Thanks and thanks for the engagement. It's now time to put up or shut up as they say!
@@PKWModelwerx And THAT is what I am doing .....; puttimg up.... be ready for a video in a few days.... or daze ...
That awesome! Looking forward to seeing the progress on this adventure 🤠
Thanks Randy. I'm pretty darn excited!
good see you get hobby room to build you kits and do the hobby will get nice layout in the room will good see the space do thanks for the update on channel thanks for share on channel thanks lee
Thanks 👍 I'll be keeping up with your show Lee! I appreciate the engagement here.
Hi Bob 👋 Yep , the Aurora 40' containers are awesome 👌 Got a a setup on my layout with one and open container doors on my container consist.. well done review 👍 DD
Wow, those are super detailed, inside and out.. great review Bob. Your right, a fork lift scene or something would make a great piece on the layout
Thanks 👍 Pappy. I hope all is well.
Cool container review Bob.
Thanks JD. Hope all is well.
Ben did a great job on those !!!
nice review thanks for the sare
Thanks for the comments
Hi Bob good job on these nice looking containers. 👍Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jerry. Happy Labor Day!
Nice container review. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! Appreciate the engagement.
Very nicely done, looks store bought.. greet work..
Thanks Pappy. I appreciate the engagement. Hope all is well.
Nice addition for the train room !
Thanks Mark. Looking forward to the winter when YOU will have more time for trains and producing content for us! Hope the growing season has been treating you well.
that great vlog on channel thanks lee
Glad you enjoyed it
What? Wow! Thats awesome, Bob. Thanks for sharing. 😎👍🏼
When I get a strong reaction from you, I know I done good Drew. Thanks
@@PKWModelwerx Ya you did, Bob. Love it. 🤓😎👍🏼
That’ll be a neat business to scratch build…I like the old 60-70’s business designs….
Thanks Anthony. I'm planning to use 1mm acrylic sheet for all those plate glass surfaces along with decals for the framing or maybe thin tape. What do you think is the best technique for simulating those types of surfaces?
@@PKWModelwerx the acrylic sheet for the large windows should be fine…would Plastruct 0.3 or 0.5 mm square rod look better for the window framing?
WOW…that’s cool Bob…
Thanks Anthony. With all my trains and most of my tools and supplies in a POD, pending acquisition of hobby space, I can only do so much!
Great idea Bob.
Thanks JD. Hope you're staying cool. Autumn will arrive but it could be a few more months in North Texas.
@@PKWModelwerx yep taking it easy. One good thing is that it's not as hot as last year.
Cool Bob
Thanks Steve. I've got a review of some 3D printed farm equipment coming. Printed in color. Interesting. Hope all is well with you.
Wow thats awesome and what a cool idea. You know I see a part time gig for you doing this .
You build the frames and I'll do the rest Jerry!
@@PKWModelwerx that could happen.👍🤙
Very interesting information.
I think such a car will make an interesting addition to anyone's fleet. Enjoy your content always - keep up the production!
Bob ,Nice job on your homework for this project. I think you'll pull this off with no problem.
Thanks Jerry. I've got the electrical work figured out and operating. Wish I had my soldering gun but I'll make it work. Now I need to get the light projecting in a narrow beam across the tracks. After that it's all stuff I love, like painting and making decals. Enjoying this but not as much as you enjoy your garden!
Looks like a fun project. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks John. I'm excited to get into this build and see what I can accomplish without a paint booth or even a work bench!
Love the topic, Bob. Thanks for sharing. Look like a fun detail to do. Great illustration and video over all. 😎👍🏼
Thanks Drew. As you know these informational videos are a lot of work. I appreciate you recognizing that effort. I'm excited to work on this and see what I can accomplish without a paint booth. Hope your summer has been great!
@@PKWModelwerx 😎👍🏼
very cool work on display there Bob! :)
Thanks Mystic and thanks for the engagement. I'm excited to see what I can accomplish on this with rattle cans and no workbench or serious tools available when I try my hand at my own autonomous geometry car! I do wish I had my soldering iron!
awesome event, nice work there :)
Thanks for the visit
Hey Bob, I can't wait to see more video in this. That CSX geometry car is pretty cool. I might have to do me one. Thanks for sharing. Oh by the way, I found a pretty cool one and posted it on my community page. I tagged you
Very nice!
Love the orange
Thanks for the engagement. haven't been able to fly since I did this to the drone though 🙁
Looks great, thanks for sharing. Dave
Hey Bob you did a great job , it looks awesome. Who makes these ? I keep debating whether to get a drone.
Jerry I have a DJI drone which is a Chinese company but the biggest consumer drone manufacturer (along with camera's, microphones and other products) in the world. I recommend their products. I have far too much to say about drone features for this forum though. If you get serious we should talk. Don't go too cheap though. There are crappy drones out there.
I need to invest in a drone at some point . There are many things I would like to do with one ! Great video !
Thanks for the comment Mark. I hope you are well. A drone is an expensive toy but I do enjoy mine! Keep in mind, IMHO as a lawyer, you need a Part 107 commercial license to use drone footage on TH-cam, assuming you are entertaining being monetized in the future. So that's a further investment in both time and money.
Yeah, that will definitely be easier to see Bob!
Thanks for the engagement John and good show on Sunday. Can always count on you for good modeling content. I have been experimenting with using metal foil and various adhesives on some signal bungalows. Hoping to have a video out on that project this weekend. God willing and the crick don't rise.
Good idea Bob. It looks great.
Thanks JD. Hope the Texas heat isn't killing you and Beryl left you unscathed. Contract on my Denton house set to close 7/26. Fingers crossed.
High vis drone definitely easier to see, great job..
Thanks 👍 Really enjoyed your railfan/cookout video. Great location.
@@PKWModelwerx awesome thank you.. it was a relaxing day..
