I so enjoy your videos. I have to make a positive comment. every time your birds in the background make noise my Love birds and conure start chirping and making noises. I'm louds and always working on stuff. So my home is always loud. Keep up the great build on your Garden layout. I can't wait to see more of your O scale layout builds.
Thanks again. Last of the details going on. Cab curtains. No idea how to do that. Did it once years ago. Need to look at that model and figure out just what the heck I did!!
Dale you have given me an idea. I am attempting to build realistic refinery units. This requires various size vessels with dished or elliptical heads. If green stuff can be formed into concave heads then it can be formed into convex heads as well. It truly is neat the level of detail you used on the pipe fittings. Another great video.
Hi. Yes I love green stuff. It was impossible to find for years. There was a site called “green Stuff World. Now on Amazon and everywhere. And a better product too!
It always amazes me, the level and eye for detail that you folks have, along with the skill, resourcefulness, and ingenuity you all have. I can be resourceful (using things for other than their intended purpose), but not in modeling. I kind of gave up trying years ago. These locomotives, like anything F scale, provide an opportunity to create an exact scale model of real locomotives. Now all you need is the smell, you have the visual and sound part done. Dale, once again you've done wonders. ;-)
It's looking really really great. I started working on an Annie a little while ago. I do actually have a Connie tender shell (just because it was there on eBay), so I'm flicking between the ideas of adapting the Connie tender to make it fit, or building a new tender from scratch. (I'm not keen on the Annie tender design). We'll see.... Anyway, I've really enjoyed your Connie project. Great work indeed!
I notice you added weights that are now covered by coal. Is there some weight standard, was it derailing, or does it just make it operate more realistically? BYW, that water tank was way over the top. An amazing job.
The original coal load was steel. Added a lot of weight. So I just added that same weight. figured if Bachmann did that it must work. This from the company that used plastic gears…
@@ToyManTelevision Hmmm... Maybe you've hit on WHY the plastic gears failed. Or at least part of it. How much does the loco & tender alone weigh? Add to that the torque multiplication through the step-down gears from the the electric motor. And we know from our endless indoctrination lessons on electric cars that motors are already torque-monsters. Add some cheap plastic, and polymer transmission gear failure is far more likely.
A salad bowl. A metal one. Then a hammer. But not the head. The handle. Mash down on the coal. Then focus on the big bits. Until it’s all the right size.
Dale this is hilarious Steampunk at it's best . Bit of "Polar Express "with a solid "Coyote/Roadrunnner" Meep meeep, or shouldl I say, Whooo whooo! th-cam.com/video/V4RIBmM2ZF0/w-d-xo.html
Attention to detail. That's what we all strive for in our models. 😁👍
#34 and the tender and air cylinder and coal load is looking awesome. Absolutely beautiful, modeling.
Thanks again. Almost done. Well.. almost. Keep finding little things.
@@ToyManTelevision You're welcome.
Wow. What an achievement! You guys are amazing. Thanks for the series.
Thanks again for watching and commenting and stuff

That was great. Thank you.
Dale, you and Karyn do amazing modeling work! Thank you for sharing your techniques with us.
Hi. And thanks again!!!!
You are one talented artist!
Beeyootyful!
The tender looks great!!!
I love this series SO much! Great video!
Thanks!!!
Nice work . looking forward to seeing the loco running down the track . Have a great week And thank you .You made my day.

I found it great!!!!!!!
Just ask Steve! Every time ;-) The whole tender looks fantastic
The pandammit? Perfect.
Dale enjoyed your latest upload very nice and thanks for sharing DD.
Very nice loco. You had talked about making this a Mexican loco. However, I liked the Silverton Northern Loco, too. Greta Job, Dale!!
I would love a layout tour.

Agree with everything you said. Dale and Karyn are like peas and carrots.
Working on the smell. Eating beans. So far not working. Wrong smell. Have some incense. Smells like wood. But not coal. And oil. Working.
Yup they are truly awesome 👌
I have used doll house numbers (from Hobby Lobby) for number boards. They look really good all shiney gold colored. I put them on after the paint.
Grandt offered great numbers. I should look into that.
It's looking really really great.

Hi again. Love to see that when you get it done. Or even start. Or anything else!

I still have a question for you.Did Jim Harper ever sell his layout?
Nice detailing. Shouldn't be good quality coal glossy?
I do believe I saw the devil in the details Great job very skillful
What do you use to grind up the coal?
A salad bowl. A metal one. Then a hammer. But not the head. The handle. Mash down on the coal. Then focus on the big bits. Until it’s all the right size.
Karyn is the actual meaning of adjectives.
😊
Just so you know Testors paint is going away Rustolium is discontinuing the line
I know they have been taking away some of the offerings like model masters but the whole line?
@@ToyManTelevision that’s what my local hobby shop owner told me I have the last can of fabric grey spray paint in the state according to him
