Build an AWESOME bridge - Realistic Scenery Volume 10

- If you’re looking for inspiration to build and design a bridge for your model railroad or for a scenery diorama then you’ve found the right video. In this tutorial I take you through every step of the process to create an awesome realistic looking model diorama or a scene that you could incorporate in to a model railway layout possible even a wargaming terrain piece.
Also if you want more specific details about what measurements I used for this bridge and all the types of scale lumber I used you can find all that information here at boulder creek railroad:
www.bouldercre...
The model is built to HO scale which is 1:87th scale however the same techniques could be used for N scale right through to O scale and larger.
The intro shows my favorite train! A Bendigo Rail Models P-Class that I’ve used numerous times and a new set of carriages from Auscision both of which are available from www.AustralianModeller.com.au
P-Class: www.australian...
Carriages: www.australian...
A little story about the diorama:
There were a couple of things about this diorama that I would change in the future, the first being the color of the bridge.
This leads back to good lighting when building and painting models, the lighting I was using at the time of painting the bridge gave a false impression that it was more grey than it actually was, so at some stage over the next month or so I may repaint the bridge by adding a coat of grey over the top.
Secondly I would have liked to make the diorama longer, that way I would have been able to get better shots looking along the track whilst filming the run bys. This is not a major issue but just something I would likely improve upon on the next diorama.
I hope you enjoyed watching and managed to pick up a tip or two.
If you want to download the specific files used to create the bridge and see the list of measurements as well as the specific materials I used and where I purchased them you can find it here: www.bouldercreekrailroad.com/build-an-awesome-bridge.html
Luke Towan great video as usual. Inspirational!

This is by far one of the best channels on TH-cam.
Que utilisa pare el sesper
Shit watch it on some acid bro
Scott S did you do that ?
Indeed
I agree I'm not even into this hobby but what hebcreates is simply breathtaking
From a qualified bridge and wharf carpenter, i have to say this is an incredible reproduction. Beautiful work mate.
I'm not a model builder but I love to watch your videos because it's so relaxing and interesting. Always a pleasure.
What's the name of the background song by the way?
Thanks Tobias, the background music is called 'Dust Country' and it's from Premium Beat.
Thanks Luke! Looking forward to your next video. :)
Tobias Gaulke haha same here, instant subscribe and watch it all! The amount of detail and the way he explains everything is just so great!
Tobias Gaulke just like bob ross
You don't know anything about painting and still you watch bob ross

you have so many tips and tricks in your videos, it would be hard to figure them all out watching your videos once. from the tools you use to the ground cover. the chopper seems to be a tool you use for just about every project you do. seems like a great investment for anyone getting into the scenery side of modeling. but the tip I like the best is one most people might miss. dirt from outside. wow for cheap, and found every where. and the dried up leaves chopped in a blender. real ground cover to use as scenic ground cover.
the bridge you make in this video is picture perfect. add a couple kids standing above the track watching the trin go under. well that takes me back to the days of growing up.
Thanks Luke. another 30 mins well spent, for the viewer.
ha ha thanks Dave, I certainly use the chop-it a lot! There's a lot of micro-mark tools that I use pretty regularly. It's funny when I go looking for dirt, I usually drive around looking for just the right color dirt which believe it or not happens to coincide with the side of busy roads! I must look so suspicious to passers by as I try to discretely scoop up shovel loads of dirt from the roadside! Lighter color dirt looks much better on the layout after applying the glue because it will usually become a lot darker after glue is applied.
Glad you enjoyed watching the video and keep up the hard work on your channel as well, when I get down time from work and home I'll often watch what you've been up to 😉
so true. our back yards are full of dirt. yet always going for that hour long drive just to find the perfect,,,,,,,,,dirt.
thanks for the support on my channel. i have to get more into the scenery side of things on my layout soon.
Please make old rusty abandoned big train station
I think he did that.
I always say that every single section of a model railroad layout should be built as detailed as your dioramas in order to look realistic, your fantastic videos show how to achieve great results. Takes time, practice and patience. Thank you MASTER for sharing !!!
Thanks for giving me a great video to wake up to this Saturday morning!
lol 😉 glad you enjoyed it
Luke Towan always :D
You are an artist!!!!!! I love watching your videos even if years old. My hat is off to you sir
Great inspirational work Luke. I love it
Not only are your build tutorials of the highest quality but most viewers will not fully appreciate the time it takes set up the video recording equipment, lighting, editing, adding text and sound overlays that make your TH-cam videos outstanding. I'm awestruck!
YES! New Luke Towan video, whoop whoop!!
lol thanks Will 😀
Luke Towan No problem at all!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻
I have zero interest in model building myself, but I somehow find myself watching every single time you post a new video. I love this channel.
My favorite tutorial. I watched it 5 or 6 times in the last year. This is cool! Very very realistic
I cant believe the attention to detail this guys does hes awesome
MASSIVE RESPECT FOR YOU BRO !!!! YOURE WORK IS UNDOUBTEDLY AMAZING AND ITS NOT EASY TO DISTINGUISH WHETHER ITS NATURAL OR A DIORAMA
The precise details make this kit fool proof. I will be building it for N scale as it is a matter of dropping the scale down in half. Thanks for the post.
This background music is so fitting, it's so good. Almost as good as the model... almost.
This is a best Channel of you tube
This precision, voice and music are soooooo relaxing
Leo Kr
I have said the same thing since the first video I watched!
I love the attention to detail and the precision.
thanks Matty, I often want to add even more detail but if I did that I might take way too long to post a video!
As humble and as down-to-earth as you seem to be, I doubt if you realize how incredible a modeler/diorama maker/teacher you are. It's seems impossible, but each video is more amazing than the last. When you started curving the track with your simple homemade block, I was saying, "Come on! Who thinks of something like that?" Genius. You have a lot of subscribers. You deserve triple the amount.
lol... I've seen all sorts of contraptions for bending the weathered flex trackfrom micro engineering, some better than others but I'm sure I'm not the first to fashion up a block like this 😀 I'm very grateful that so many people enjoy these videos and I'm glad that I've been able to help you and share some tips and techniques with you.
So long 55
Probanly the best and detailed dioramas iv ever seen and probably the best tutorials too
This scenery is so nice that i want to do a similar bridge myself.I know that i do not neither have most of the tools you have nor the skill but i will try this for sure in 1/72 or 1/64 scale thanks for the inspiration
You'd be surprised with what you can build with limited tools and materials 😉 I'm glad you found some inspiration
very nice bridge!!! your dioramas are just awesome!
Great bridge construction! Awesome realistic looking railway terrain :))
Outstanding work as always Luke 👍
thanks again mate, glad you're still enjoying the videos 😉
True professional. Well done Luke.
so beautiful anld calming
YES!! These videos can't come fast enough!
lol thanks Rico 😉 glad you liked it
Amassing video. Once again you have blown me away. This is beyond model railways this is art. KEEP MAKING ART! Epic vid pupped for the next one.
wow thanks for the awesome compliment 😀 I'm glad you enjoyed this one
Thank you for uploading. I know all your videos take ages to make and it's the least I could do. I seriously love your work I have even watched your first videos just for fun (they were good). I always freak out when you make a new video. I don't model railway my self but I do build models of abandoned buildings and I would like have a layout one day. I like to take tips from your channel because you are a pro. You are an inspiration. Keep up the amassing work. FYI If you had a fan meet up I would be there!
Fogarty Avenue read through your comment and check spelling errors before posting 😉
Amazing patience and imagination displayed. I also enjoy putting one of these videos on when I want to have a quick nap. No advertising breaks, calming music and narrative. Very well done!
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm surprised you didn't get any ads during the video... in a good way. TH-cam recently changed their ad policy and a bunch of my older videos had midroll ads automatically inserted. 🙄
@@BoulderCreekRailroad If there was an ad I may have dozed through it!
Can you please make a video about constructing derelict and overgrown ruins? Thanks.
I've got a list of cool ideas for projects and I'll definitely include your idea! Ruins would look awesome for sure!
There's something relaxing about watching these dioramas slowly take shape.
i just started watching this channel about a hour ago and im subing
Очень приятно смотреть,как ты работаешь...:))
-"Keep working with the sculptamold as it's beginning to set"
-"Needs 24h to dry"
My dumbass brain: *Wow gotta work with the sculptamold for 24h straight*
Super Cool Bridge 🚕🚡🚄🚠🚌🚟🚙🙃😎
Wow I absolutely love it ! Amazing job mate ! Take care! Peace from Welland Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
After a day at work just watching this makes life all worth while
We need an episode where Luke solely refers to foam as "cheese"
Awesome stuff! Your videos are pure youtube gold.
Do a train tunnel!
Thanks for video. It is always pleasure to watch your pieces of art. Greetings from Turkey!
Amazing Craftmanship.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Watching you build each project is so relaxing. And im really impressed with how you give attention to the smallest detail. Im not sure if all diorama hobbyists or pros do this level of detail. Just wow
Love these videos! Do you get commissions for certain scenes or just do what takes your fancy?
Thanks mate, I just build what I feel like at the time 😀 I'm thinking about doing a water fall as my next big scenery project?
Yes please!
Luke Towan i absolutely love your work my friend! And if you make the waterfall maybe add a footpath or a bridge near it just to add a little extra visual effect eather way it'll look amazing (: but other than that hope you and your family have amazing day wish you all the best.
That sounds awesome!.but big farmyard that will be more awesome .
YESSSSS WATERFALLSSSSS
The miniature world that you can escape too, where everything can be explained since you and you alone are responsible , since you made it.
Id love to take this hobby up again, loved doing this as a kid but dam....there is just no space for all the things you need. One day maybe, love the channel, thanks for making all these videos!
Yay! Another! I'm always looking forward to these videos.
Hopefully it won't take as long to get the next video out 😀
Thank you Luke. We take very beautiful works.
Hello my friend! 👋
You sir have a gift I wish I was talented like you
I once made a bridge myself, but it doesn't look like that. ^^
lol... I'm sure it was still an awesome bridge 😀
Ehm th-cam.com/video/UXkY6yhi_UE/w-d-xo.htmlm52s ... do you use Roco models?
lol... I love it 😀
I am an industrial model maker, and your videos are still amazing. Of course the stuff I do is usually CNC machined one of a kind stuff, but I am just following a drawing or cad file. The stuff you do is much more creative and artistic. I finally dug out my HO track etc. and started a new layout. Thanks for the inspiration.
Awesome job as always. Every time I see someone build a bridge like you did with the paper plans on foam, and using the pins to hold everything reminds me of when I had to build a bridge for an engineering competition back in my school days where it had to be designed for the best strength to weight ratio.
Am I the only confused as to how he got power to the track to move the train and also confused at the length of rake the train is pulling across the diorama?
world of retro it’s not very long, so maybe just pushed it?🤷🏼♀️
Shhhh it's a secret - Luke may have to kill you afterwards if he tell you his trick.
Your.... work.... is.... AMAZING!!!!!!
lol... Thanks so much mate, glad you enjoyed it 😉
Quick questions, since I just found out PODGE is not even a regular word :p
What exactly is mod-podge? A 1K matt clearcoat or something like binder aka matt-medium? Or something like the woodglue PVA / PUR stuff? Chälp!
LaserGadgets I'd say it's a lot like pva, except a little watered down. Makes a decent substitute for wheat paste
Thanks. Just found it on the german ebay, guess its a good thing when you can buy the real deal here.
Now that’s what you call talent. Absolutely enjoyable to watch. Thanks for posting it.
1:00 Yeah, totally BASE-ic
HA HA HA HA HA HA
I'm sorry
I have made this today. It really looks beautiful and realistic
Yet another masterpiece from luke
It’s always a pleasure to look yours videos. You speak quite slowly so i can understand you
Another fantastic Diorama... excellent stuff.
You are the Bob Ross of Model Trains
For every diorama you make, PUT THEM TOGETHER, AND MAKE A WHOLE WORLD OUT OF IT
Thank you so much for all your videos. You are truly an inspiration to any model builder. Your attention to detail sometimes seems completely over the top until you see the end result. The time that you take and the painstaking amount of detail that you go into ultimately shows a perfect diorama. I model in N gauge and have started using your techniques on my latest model. Thanks once again.
You are a great artist. I love your creations.
thanks mate 😉
Your videos are ridiculous! Just when I think you can't add any more detail you do, it's fantastic!
You had a really nice manicure this time! Nice
Awesome looking diorama, bravo !
I never thought matches could be used to build bridges! Brilliant!
Thank you for your entire recurring insight, driving force not to mention guidance to benefit my quest to becoming increasingly consciously aware of the fact and spiritually connected.
Using the rail block as a track bending helper was genius. The bridge was very realistic. Nice Job.
The static grass applicator mask is a very good idea. I have tried a great number of ideas to keep from flooding a small area with static grass. Rob
ha ha yeah it was one of those light bulb moments! At one point I was about to start building a completely new static grass applicator specifically for small areas but I'm glad I suddenly thought of making a mask instead.
Luke Towan I’ve been using a paper cone I put on the end, but it tends to come out in clumps. You’ve solved it.
Тщательно посмотрел от начала и до конца. Этот парень просто монстр, асс. Его перфекционизм просто поражает.
I have never even thought about making dioramas, but your channel is the most relaxing thing to watch lol. I love these
Excellent workmanship and videography. Cheers from Syracuse, NY!
First second of this video, I was blown away by the Detail! Take that Europe, Us Aussie's know detail! Craftsman work!
lol thanks mate, there are some amazing Aussie modellers 😉
soooooo satisfying to watch
Brilliant, thank you Luke, so good to see you again, take care and be safe xx
thanks Val
You have some serious skill, Luke! Great video!!
This guy's miniatures get me so pumped. Damn nice bridge, man.
THANK YOU FOR EVERY DETAIL VIDEO AS SHOW LOT IN YOUR VIDEO
Australia must be beautiful!
It's always a joy to see you build little stuff!
thanks mate, I thoroughly enjoy making them as well 😀
Luke, your videos make me want to tear down my entire layout and rebuild it better. Ugh, if only I'd known some of your tricks (curving flex track!) beforehand! As it is, I might do that to the scenery anyway. Thanks for another incredible tutorial.
lol... that good news is that it's not too hard to improve upon existing scenery 😀 I'm glad you have been able to pick up a few tips and tricks
Looks sooo realistic, LOVE IT, please do more
thanks mate, I have many more videos on the way 😉
You truly have a gift Luke. My computer keeps crashing the diorama is so realistic! Keep up the nice... UNBELIEVABLE!!! Work!
Your works are always beautiful brother keep on your works
It must have taken a lot of time and patience👍👍👍👍good work
This channel is so satisfying whenever I am in not a good mood I prefer to see this channel
You would make a brilliant architect!! your dioramas could be models and the workers just need to do it large scale.
Excellent choice of subject matter, Luke! These bridges - or very similar ones - could once be found just about everywhere. They can also be well-employed in place of tunnel portals, since most railroad layouts end up having to incorporate an unrealistic number of tunnels to lead track to staging or out through the backdrop for a few feet. With a cut and a good clump of vegetation to help block the view, a small bridge like this - perhaps with a stopped vehicle on it - can be an excellent alternative to yet another tunnel portal, suggesting the tracks merely disappear behind a hill or into the forest.
Another great tutorial Luke. Well done mate.
WOw that turned out GREAT! ! ! You make it look easy! I might have to try this for a diorama for a video! Thanks for the idea! ROCK on my small scaled love'n Brother!
You have a huge and loyal fan in me.
The best channel for this kind of beautiful sceneries. Love your work and attention to detail.
Fantastic it’s very interesting and relaxing to look you during your constructions ! Compliments
Nice bridge, the diorama is awesome!!
